As another reply said, context is everything. To elaborate:

If you phrase it exactly as you said, I can imagine a lawsuit being successful. The comment--specifically, the phrase "you can get"--evidences a reckless disregard for the possible consequences. Arguably, a break-in is a reasonably foreseeable consequence. One might even argue that the commenter intended to cause a break-in.

I suspect there could be multiple theories of liability here, with all or most being torts. Naturally, the available causes of action would be a function of whether anybody acted on the suggestion and broke into the house.

On the other hand, if you phrased it differently, you might be safe. For example, it seems grossly unjust to punish expression along the lines of: "John Smith is internationally famous for the extensive Picasso collection in his home gallery." Almost any fact could conceivably be abused in the wrong hands. If a speaker were unconditionally liable for any subsequent abuse of his/her speech, regardless of the character or intent of the speech, nearly all factual speech would entail extremely burdensome legal risks.

So what determines whether a public comment about someone's valuables is actionable? Again, context. What did you say about the valuables? (Did you suggest stealing them?) Where was the comment published? (Was it on a burglary forum?) What was said elsewhere in the same article or conversation? (Was it part of a discussion about how to become a better burglar?) These are not necessarily the only factors. They're just examples of the types of factors a court might consider.

Eve is a valid subject for an economics research though. It'll be doubly fun if you can join up with a large corporation and engage in market schemes; pump & dump, blocking supplies / trade routes, social engineering, or doing your own ponzi scheme. The good part is that none of these are illegal in Eve, so, knock yourself out.

"DuckDuckGo gets its results from over one hundred sources, including DuckDuckBot (our own crawler), crowd-sourced sites (like Wikipedia, which are stored in our own index), Yahoo!

Well, you can look at the games like EVE as a big social simulations - they're sandboxed worlds very much resembling the real one, but they iterate faster and you (i.e. the authors) can alter the constrains and see what happens. I think MMOs should be studied in greater detail.

True! And Dwarf Fortress has more action, less waiting around. Eve Online is often like the real military: wait for 2 hours for 80 other people to show up, then travel for 2 hours, then wait, and then the operation gets cancelled, and travel back home for 2 hours. And you trained for 6 weeks before the event to make it all possible. Never happens like that in Dwarf Fortress!

Of course he's creating his own LISP dialect, no doubt with the purpose of "fixing" few of the myriad of artificial percieved non-problems of Common Lisp and its ancestry. ( * )

Show of hands, everyone: who actually believes that this thing is being designed from the beginning with the purpose of total inspectability and modifiability?

( * ) I'm not saying that Common Lisp doesn't have problems; for instance, the interactivity and debugging support of todays Common Lisp implementations is pathetic compared to the Genera and friends. I'm saying that the actual problems are so far beyond the casual idiot's horizon that he tends to make up problems he can actually understand (parentheses! archaic naming! standard too big! blah blah blah blah blah!).

Yanukovych had requested whopping $160 bln. And just guess where a large part of this sum would go.

Count me as skeptical. The strength of high-quality carbon fibre comes from having many pieces of fibre woven together over the surface omnidirectionally (Okay, I'm mostly wrong here - see below). This machine seems to simply lay it down in a (more or less) continuous strand, which means that the fibres will be cohesive rather than woven together. You can do this without a special printer - all you need is some carbon fibre/pla filament [1]. My bet would be that polycarbonate 3d printed parts [2] will be stronger that these pseudo carbon-fibre parts in most situations.

For a pretty freaking cool view of how high-quality carbon fibre parts are made check out this youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4DLr8qHliI

A valid question...sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you think it won't, and then it does and you have to do some herculean things later to make it scale.

Also, I think it's a fallacy to say that higher level languages necessarily mean more programmer efficiency. When I'm doing network programming in C, here's what it looks like:

* Define a struct whose field layout matches the wire format

* Cast the incoming buffer to that struct

* Done

By contrast, Ruby requires me to marshal data and painstakingly extract each field...all because it tries to abstract away the fact that memory is a flat array of bytes.

Yeah, much of the time I'll be more productive in a higher-level language. But there are problem domains where that is not the case.
For hysterical reasons, pip has never supported binary eggs. Wheels are the replacement of the future!
Please, do not recommend that. Online wallets are first target for scams and hacks and should not be used.

If you browse /r/dogecoin, you will see that everyone is recommending to stay away from them. They were especially hit by the dogewallet.com hack.

An alternative is using the android wallet. It's been around for some weeks, now, and I didn't see any complains about it. It relies on no central server and it's code is opensource [1], so it can hardly be a scam, I think.

I remember reading something by its author saying that it won't download the whole chain. From my experience, it's faster to sync than qt client, so I suppose it's true. Also, some neat options like disabling sync when not charging and/or not connected to wifi, which make power / bandwidth consumption not a problem.

Anyway, the only official wallet is the qt / cli one [2]. If you want to be safe, it's the one to use. The sync thing may be annoying at first, but it's easily dealt with if you open your wallet once a day, or once in two days (it will take something like five minutes to sync).

You're right, and not many people in the opposition are celebrating "the victory" yet. Most still call for the immediate re-election, and discarding all the recent changes to the constitution.

For the record, the mass protests weren't triggered by any particular agreement, they started after the police beat the shit out of (not just dispersed) a group of students during a completely peaceful demonstration. They grew bigger after Yanukovich signed anti-protest laws.

Good idea, I put it on the list.
I also notice that depending on your search terms it now changes the order of the menu items; I was very surprised a few day ago when I noticed that Images wasn't the second list option on the screen.

To test this seach for "images" or "videos" on google. It will change the list order.

This is extremely irritating as it tries to guess whether you're trying to search for a certain type of of thing (text/images/vid/news/shopping/etc), as it frequently guesses wrong, and then sends us searching for the right list option because they've been shuffled round.

Designers, do not change your menu item order unless you're damned sure you're gonna get it right. Confusing your users is never helpful.

Funny, the copyright maffia hates the Internet but then goes on to require it in order to consume content on blessed physical media.
Under US law, consideration has long been a specter haunting the enforceability of open source licenses--specifically enforcement by the user against the copyright holder.

Here's the problem: If the copyright holder gains nothing in the transaction that the license governs, then the license is not an enforceable contract. Thus, the user cannot enforce the terms of the license against the copyright holder. The copyright holder could, for example, revoke the license at any time and demand everyone stop using the open source software.

I've always wondered: Could an open source license create consideration by referring to the copyright holder's business or career interest in the software enjoying widespread use and acclaim? As a software developer, I could stand to gain financially from the success of my open source project. For example, I could leverage my notoriety into a well-compensated position. Or I could hire myself out as a consultant to users of the open source software. Or I could start a business, and piggyback off the prominence of the open source software to promote my business.

There are also theories whereby promissory estoppel would protect users against copyright holders. I won't comment on these theories except to say that they're pretty much untested.

This area of law is mostly unsettled. There's far too little case law for anyone to make a definitive pronouncement yet.

I think you're right to be critical. This doesn't seem like a perfect idea. Still, some counters to your points:

1. CD's would probably be more inexpensive to produce, but they are much more vulnerable to damage and destruction. Additionally, with a USB drive, the user can save data that will persist from computer to computer, which makes the idea more tolerant to the use of unreliable recycled computers. Hosting a cloud OS would introduce a pretty major dependency on network connectivity, which I can understand them trying to avoid when their focus seems to be on developing nations.

2. That can be expensive, but you might be surprised how many recycled electronics simply end up in these developing countries. These costs might also be why the price of "just a live USB drive" is as high as $7.

3. Again, the USB drive itself probably won't cost $7, so that supporting infrastructure might be included in that price. Unfortunately, it will be up to those running this campaign to provide full answers on that. I'll admit that I'm just speculating myself.
