I presume his fee for the film will stand, and will go to his estate.

Much more interesting question if you talk about an actor who isn't involved with a film at all, either because they passed away a while ago, or they're just busy doing something else! I guess it'd be like selling image rights.

Imagine if you could buy the rights to Mark Wahlberg for your Indy production? You get a Maya model and high quality scans included in the cost. Maybe you buy it from Shutterstock... Mental.
> "the official currency of Russian Federation is rouble, Issue (introduction) of other currencies and currency surrogates is prohibited

How is that different from any other country? Its a generic law that every other country has, you can't start spreading a new currency in United States as well because "official currency of United States is US Dollar".

We all know what happened to a "Liberty Dollar" in United States [1]:

In 2006 the U.S. Mint issued a press release stating that prosecutors at the Justice Department had determined that using Liberty Dollars as circulating money is a federal crime. The press release also stated that the "Liberty Dollars" are meant to compete with the circulating coinage (currency) of the United States and such competition consequently is a criminal act.[2]

Audrey Hepburn's digital likeness was used in a galaxy commercial, and her estate was paid for the rights, so there is some precedent here.
Last sentence is great:
"“It’s a tall order for one person to be your partner in Management Inc., your best friend and passionate lover. There’s a certain part of you that with this partner will not be fulfilled. You deal with that loss. It’s a paradox to be lived with, not solved.”"

It's why I've only recently "got" open relationships. A couple years ago I would have vehemently derided them as an excuse for not being able to keep it in one's pants and inability to commit to a relationship. But now I see that no one person has never been and will never be "everything" to any one person...and if two people who openly understand this and have a relationship, then it will only strengthen their love for one another because they realize that while they may not be everything to each other, both are getting the most out of life while still having an anchor at home.

Well, I thought it was an insightful article, and I'm just hanging around waiting to be mortified by the comments.
Tesla Hires Hacker Kristin Paget to, Well, Secure Some Things

I find it very naive to believe that the FBI agent filled out the form incorrectly.
Looks like a bad excuse to me to get over that issue finally.

It rather looks like that she was put on the list just because of an overzealous agent who didn't want to risc anything or maybe mixed up her name. And he didn't care to put that back, esp. after she complained. So they played the national security game for a while.
I already made myself quite explicit here, I think -- the rules governing the situation, and the where it actually goes (whether it is legal to promote being gay or to have six wifes, etc.) is a matter of collective choice -- which the overwhelming majority here has made long ago, and which is now formalized by the law.

And exactly matching your point on the colorful percentage varying depending on the established attitude, we plain prefer our future to remain 99% hetero (and not, say, become 80%), that simple :)

Speaking of culture, mine, I believe, is, sadly, better than yours (again, bigot you back!), as is my understanding of what is actually happening here.
Debt taken out by the government has to be paid by the tax payers in both principal and interest. There is no free money. Not spending additional federal money is a virtue not a problem.
"But and that a honest question: What would you do when you see that thing X will break in maybe a year and there is no way to scale it and the manager is ignore that it will break in the near future?"

In my opinion the best option is to ensure that your manager understands the forthcoming problem, and even if they choose to ignore it, have a plan for what you'll do when that happens. Sometimes what seems to you like them ignoring the problem is actually acceptance of the risk; a choice to defer action.

If you can be anticipating the problem and be the person ready to get working on a solution when it's finally required you'll usually win heartily. If you fall to an I-told-you-so attitude it won't be very helpful for anyone.

Of course, depending on how management handles it when things do finally fall over you may want to consider looking elsewhere. After all, there's good and bad leaders everywhere...
I wouldn't say a startup is the best place for the author, necessarily. Rather, any company where software (or related technology) is a primary line of business, or at least considered so important to the primary line(s) of business as to be deemed (nearly) as valuable.

The fact is most of the "real world" business and enterprise space, as noted by other commenters, just isn't about "developing software." In these places the goal, with respect to software development, is commoditization in order to reduce costs. They don't care if the code is pretty, or even if it actually works all the time. All that matters is that it works well enough to get the job (mostly) done most of the time. Software development is the same as tech support is the same as the CAT5 cable laying guy in these places. It's all "IT", it's all a (very expensive) cost, and it's all something the organization views with a snarl, not a smile. If you want to feel valued as a software worker, don't work at these places.
"a boy's club"

My concern with programming as a field that it's neither equal nor manly. It might be a boy's club but consisting of boys who're "not getting any". A lot of boys' rude talks just mask them being afraid of actually interacting with women, you know.

WRT bologna: I have a colleague who is like two meter tall and very big. He could easily smith horseshoes on but what he actually does is programming: click and type. And he's pretty good at that, too. This is a bit comical.

"as a man is to simply not care about being a man"

I don't think this will work sexuality-wise.

My bottom line: male sexuality becomes more and more tricky and real men (who are pretty simple and straight creatures after all) fall short of it.
I agree, I used to get upset because things didn't get done the way I thought should be done. I was worried about a server crashing and not having a budget to get another one, telling people about security and they not following recommendations. I left that company to go to another one a more corporate and bigger company and guess what the same issues, then another company and the same issues. Then I realized that technology is a means to an end. The company's goal is not technology is to make money, to pay investors, to have cash flow, yes technology is important but it is not the primary goal of a company. Code might be ugly or legacy but it pays the bills, now I do great work but don't try to think that everything has to be done a certain way I just adapt, nothing will be perfect.
Audio applications works pretty well with wine.
And of course, it depends on what you're storing. The Radio Shack ad has several things that would use storage -- a VHS camcorder, a microcassette recorder, a portable CD player. All of them used different storage mediums at different prices. If you want to price out the storage for the "1991 iPhone equivalent" the way the original analogy asks, "minutes of audio" and "minutes of video" is the unit, not gigabytes. The article gets away from those terms by posing a different question and pretending it's the same question.
Employment's Decline, For Men of All Ages
> "manly man" is a dick who doesn't do his fair share

Oh? My wife, back when I had one, never seemed interested in an egalitarian split for chores like, say, replacing the car's serpentine belt and tensioner, or sorting out the electrical fault that'd stopped the taillights working -- or, for that matter, taking out the garbage. (Which, incidentally, I gather from empirical evidence does count as a "manly activity", presumably because garbage is often heavy and occasionally malodorous.) So also for yardwork and most repairs to the domicile; in general, if the job seemed likely to involve sweating, swearing, or a risk of ending up bleeding, the job was mine, and the egalitarian split business applied only to the rest.

Which got galling after a while; I don't mind mowing, weeding, edging, and sweeping, or spending six hours getting filthy with my arm jammed to the elbow up the ass end of a car engine, but when I've been doing that all day, and have finally finished up and got a shower, a beer, and a piece of the couch, I don't give a damn if it's my turn to cook -- and nor should I, because I've done my fair share.

> We have at least two viable role models for women: girly woman and equal breadwinner woman.

I'm not sure about that. I've known a lot of people whose marriages involved what you call an "equal breadwinner woman". Most of those marriages have failed. While I've known rather fewer people whose marriages have involved men and women who more closely followed what the modern age pleases itself to regard as outdated, patriarchal, oppressively stereotypical gender roles, almost all of those whom I do know are still married, and indeed many have been for longer than I've been alive. Causation is always a tricky beast to corner, but at the very least there's a strong correlation there, and I tend to think there's a reason for that.

(I'd also note, parenthetically, that the men I've known who've been married to your "equal breadwinner women" haven't been men I've found particularly worthy of respect, nor for the most part have I had the impression they had much respect for themselves. The women themselves tend to be lovely people, if lonely, but their husbands have been no prizes, which does a lot to explain the high divorce rate I've observed among them.)

> As a programmer I spend the whole day sitting in a chair and clicking my mouse (keyboard tapping from time to time). Is that manly? I don't know.

No, it's not, and I say that as one who does likewise. (Except mostly with his hands on the keyboard -- what kind of programming do you do that you touch it only rarely?)
Or more recently, how does this compare to the Itanic from Intel?
Well, Hoffman's already got a contract to appear in the film. So it's probably just an amendment to that. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if there was some sort of death clause that covered situations like this. At least, I would hope they would. Movies are expensive investments. People die.
No, actually, below the ambiguous "I disagree", we find "I've never used my IQ as justification for anything, granted, but I had no idea it wasn't considered a solid measurement." That seems clearly to point to a disagreement with the presumed objectivity of IQ testing, not its application to the OP.

Thank you.

Your right

and yes the I-told-you-so attitude is really bad.
I used Wine quite a bit, but it's usually to get data out of obscure formats saved by obscure software. I've recently needed Wine for the following:

1) Read files saved by thermal imaging camera (no Linux or Mac software available)
2) Extract data from OriginPro worksheet (no viewer for Linux)
3) Run Bloch solver for neutron precession in magnetic fields
> The Mill has a 10x single-thread power/performance gain over conventional out-of-order (OoO) superscalar architectures

It would be nice to know how they got that number. Because it seems to be too good to be true.
Actually there's a fair bit of magic in the software as a result of exposing the hardware rather than trying to hide it. Once the software can know how long things will take, suddenly it can do things that in x86 land would be magical.

Ahhh. When I think of magic I think of stuff like optimizer heuristics that give incredible performance with very carefully written micro-benchmarks and abysmal performance in the worst case.
This is pretty simple.

Manly man that does his fair share is the proper combination. I knew a lot of men that properly combined those two aspects growing up, they were excellent role models. I have plenty of friends that fit that bill today in their marriages.

I don't know a married couple that doesn't complain about sex however. I think that's a problem of how invigorating can the same thing be after 10 or 20 years. It's a life challenge across the board to keep any long term relationship sharp, I'm not sure why we expect sex to be different.
As much as that's a Hacker News comment, yes.

I think the biggest killer for me has been battery life.

Video editing isn't that bad if you know what you're doing or willing to put in time to learn.

There aren't that many different modes, you can pick most of it up in 15 minutes of looking at the manual (which is probably worth doing with anything you're spending $300+ for.

The battery life though - it's a bummer to be out in the middle of nowhere & expecting to capture some awesome footage to come home & realize that your camera crapped out halfway through.
I think one thing you're missing is that GoPro cameras are basically a consumable product for many higher end filmmakers. Look at the X-Games. Every athlete had one in at least one place on their body. They usually don't even have the waterproof housing on them, because they don't care if they break them.

Yes, the average consumer is only going to buy one every few years, but there are business that will buy hundreds or thousands.

I think there are other places they could move the business also. They could do other kinds of sensors, heads up displays, lots of things that aren't necessarily cameras.
It's not the $6+ or the service as much as it is my existing bread preferences. Like if all they did was offer Firebrand bread you couldn't pay me to buy that or spend my time even looking at the service, whereas I would pay $15 for a loaf of Tartine delivered within a couple hours in a heartbeat.

Maybe it's because I have such a high standard for bread at my table (my roommate is a foodie too and I can go to Thorough Bread & Pastry, Bi-Rite Market, or Tartine in 10 minutes... or I can bake my own sour sourdough in 30) but knowing where the bread comes from interests me more than what varieties are offered or how convenient the service is.

But I say this as someone that just baked a loaf of beer+cheddar+mustard bread and I smell like pure deliciousness that you can't buy from a delivery service, so maybe the service isn't for me.
I was just poking about and found this article: http://www.motioncapturesociety.com/resources/articles/synth...

Has this snippet, which (if accurate) might start to answer your DeNiro question:

'[Copyright law professor] Mr. Beard notes that a patchwork of laws governs the use of dead actors' images.

'"California protects the images of celebrities for 70 years after death, which is the same as under copyright law,'' he said. "New York, on the other hand, does not have postmortem protection. So Bogart, who died as a resident of California, has state protection, and Cagney, who died as a domiciliary of New York, does not."'

Nice writeup. I recently switched from Nodejitsu over to Heroku for my open source project gitignore.io and I noticed there was a slight slowdown in response time. The app score index in New Relic went from around 92 to 100 though so I guess Heroku's servers on AWS were a bit more reliable. I also added in a CDN to increase the speed of serving the static assets.

All in all, I can say that I'm happy with the transition, but I'm also running one Dyno which I'm far from maxing out. I feel like for a larger product, Heroku would be more problems down the line than it's worth.

I thought you could spread a new currency in the US, but no one has to accept anything other than the official US currency. Which was the reason why things like tokens and bitcoins can exist.
It's not dark (more appropriately, it's not false), it's just overstatement. Most employees just want a paycheck, and most employers want to maximize profit at whatever cost.

We all live in the world in which this happens. Not all of us, thankfully, are employed in that part of the world; that does not mean, though, that it does not exist. I'm glad you're not part of it; I'm not, either, but only because I left and made my own way. It wasn't easy, and still isn't, but it was and is worth it.

It's easy to dismiss doom and gloom because it's not everywhere. But the GP's experience is perfectly real.
"replacing the car's serpentine belt and tensioner, or sorting out the electrical fault that'd stopped the taillights working"

[I don't have a car.] The problem is, once your home is up and running there's not much for you to do, but "unmanly" house chores form a never-ending stream.

"Men work" scale (do it good once, it's good for a few years), but "women work" doesn't (wipe the floor today, still needs to be done again in a week).

"the men I've known who've been married to your "equal breadwinner women" haven't been men I've found particularly worthy of respect"

Well, most people are a kludge. We tend to have higher expectations for men for some reason, but at the end of day we are still human, flawed and all. Should find a solution that works for almost everybody.

"what kind of programming do you do that you touch it only rarely?"

The objective answer of why I think is BS is that an arrogant interlocutor, almost by definition, lacks empathy

This is an interesting formulation, and I think there is something to it. "Fake" experts are (all to often) merely people with "too much self-esteem" and too little comprehension of context. "Expertise" is too often a crutch for those looking to assert some sort of claim to social rank or status. Or, polish their "brand" for future 'business opportunities'.

The flipside of the analysis, however, is the juxtaposition of "objective" with "lacking empathy". Both are two ways to de-emotionalize a subject, and it is a good rule-of-thumb to ask if what you are seeing is one or the other. Also, to make sure you have enough resolution to distinquish the two variations. After all, it is quite common empirically for people to become emotionally attached to home-grown ideas,[0,1] and this is in fact quite common with startup founders [2].

What is juxtaposed here are insiders and the outsiders both of which are fighting for credibility and influence. And ultimately, the prize of "being right". There are times when having high-powered incentives and/or low-powered incentives either work or don't work in bringing to bear a new light on the subject.

Ultimately one needs to be a ~visionary (not run of the mill), or truly from left-field.

I'm glad you have concerns about programming as a field and I feel as though they are valid. It's not my fight, though, so I wish you luck. I agree it isn't equal, in many definitions of the word, but I wouldn't necessarily associate it with manly or womanly in terms of sexuality/identity. It's simply a field. A field that has, up until now, been primarily men and perhaps even primarily negative men and perhaps, again, men who are negative towards women because they are insecure about it. I think it says more about them than the field, but I could be wrong. I still stand by the thought that programming is inherently nothing other than a field, ripe for societies to use or abuse as they will. I could say the same about any field, teaching children I guess is the opposite at least in terms of number by gender.

Not sure what the large, burly man colleague of yours has to do with my point, though. He could be a four foot tall waif and I wouldn't think any differently of the field. I work with many said waifs and I make no distinction.

Sexuality, as I've found, can be fluid even within the boundaries of something like being straight. Your bottom line is interesting, but mine is more or less, "Don't feel bad about falling short of something you have complete control of." There's no reason to feel as though you need to live up to some definition of sexuality when it involves identity. Carve your own identity. It isn't easy, and it isn't straightforward, but I trust humans to be more than simple creatures.
