I agree with your premise that art comes from your medium and limitations, but wanted to elaborate a bit on a part that you and him are not explicit about (although I suspect you may feel similarly based on "Don't pretend it's the old medium").

The value of art is inextricably linked with the process used to create it. People will have a very different emotional reaction to a painting which is created by hand than a painting which is programmed into a computer and painted by a painting machine (this generalizes all sorts of ways, this is just an example). His examples were specifically of people who were deceptive about the process they used, first in the camera obscura, second in Frank Frazetta.

Of course, the term "art" is so imprecise that you can essentially import anything you want into it, including, if you so choose, the notion that part of the art is the practice of deceiving patrons about the way it's created in order to enrich yourself. I will allow that you can be an artist and lie about your methods to make your art more emotionally impactful, but I will not allow that doing so is the right thing to do or makes you a good person deserving of praise.

If I'm creating art by painting by hand on tiny grains of sand and the world becomes enamored with it, but it turns out I'm actually using a computer-driven process to paint them (in order to become rich and not to later reveal my actions as some sort of castigation of modern art or some other such thing; basically, take a charitable view of my example here), I think one of the following is the case no matter what your definition of art: 1. It's still art, but it's not art in the way I'm trying to suggest that it is, or 2. It's a performance art where the deception is part of the art, but I'm still a bad person for doing it.

Now, I'm not certain that the author would disagree with me (or that you would agree with me), because he doesn't directly address it in these terms. But he does say "I don't care how it's created: I only care about the results." and he also says that Frank Frazetta lying about how he created his art "does not diminish Frank Frazetta's art in the slightest." Perhaps he's saying that the art is still good taking into account the methods which he knows of and keeping mum on Frank Frazetta's deception. Maybe he doesn't think very thoroughly about ethics and so he's inconsistent, or maybe he has a system of ethics where deceiving people in this instance is okay.

Of course, presumably many artists are not specific about their methodology, or they could say that they want it judged by the results, not the methods, in which case I agree with the author that it should be judged as it is as an artifact. But I reserve the right to change my emotional reaction to the piece if I later learn that their method is to hire 10,000 third world artists to paint as well as they can and they select the best to portray as the result of their artistic process.
just the idea of being illiterate grosses me out

I moved from Hong Kong when I was 9. I studied traditional chinese characters in primary school and cantonese at home. I've forgotten a lot of chinese since moving here.

Nowadays, there are times when I'm reading a chinese passage and I have no idea how to pronounce half the words, yet I understand perfectly what they all mean.

I don't know what you'd call that.
I'm not sure politicizing IT decisions would make things more efficient. Not to mention that there is strong incentive to increase the amount spent because contractors can then turn around and donate some of those juicy profits to the senator's campaign.

And now I have to check my spam folder to discover messages I signed up for. And I still get real spam because gmail's tools are diluted.

I think spam reporting is made too easy. I also hate over-sharing sites but not as much as I hate true spam. Unsub should be one click, spam reporting should be four clicks. Or hopefully gmail gives you an internal "spam report reliability" score so it knows you're a more trigger happy than I am.

And no, I've never sent a product mass mail out ever.

You would really refuse to even draw a line? Telephone directories, traffic control signals, TCP/IP packets? If truly everything is art, then at that point no one would care.

Similar to how Leibniz and other pantheists said God was everywhere, but this meant God had a different denotation that what everyone else thought when they heard the word 'God'.

Also, if I create a work that I immediately destroy and not tell anyone about, or give a private performance no one sees, did art not happen?

My attempt at uninformed commentary:

http://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/23njva/piketty/

Well -- informed by Thomas Edsall's review in The New York Times, specifically:

According to Piketty, those halcyon six decades [from 1914 - 1974] were the result of two world wars and the Great Depression. The owners of capital – those at the top of the pyramid of wealth and income – absorbed a series of devastating blows. These included the loss of credibility and authority as markets crashed; physical destruction of capital throughout Europe in both World War I and World War II; the raising of tax rates, especially on high incomes, to finance the wars; high rates of inflation that eroded the assets of creditors; the nationalization of major industries in both England and France; and the appropriation of industries and property in post-colonial countries.

While all of that is true, it's a still very incomplete picture of what resulted in the six golden decades.
The MPAA's goal is to ensure that every cent that exists in the Universe is given to the motion picture industry. Why would they make an absurd argument about something? Because if it convinces someone, it moves them closer to their goal. If it fails to convince anyone, then they get no farther away from their goal.

This, incidentally, is why you lose a quarter point on the SAT when you get the answer wrong.
Thank you for contribution. I'm trying to figure out which of the common relevance fallacies it falls under if anyone can help? Here are the possible options as I see it.

Yeah, it's funny, the article touches lightly on the NSA but never addresses the fact that they have practically every Email, phone call, or digital communication intercepted.

Let's add to this the increase of video and audio surveillance, and oh yes, more new gadgets like Google Glass which enable just about anyone to record a stranger on the street without a notice.

Yep, because some teens regularly delete Facebook posts, privacy is on the upswing. Makes perfect sense.
You're right, I said this accusingly and that's unproductive. I think legislation like this should exist. I don't think it's right to ignore the advantage (assuming we accept they have one here) and the legislation should take it into account.
> We're in the golden age of critical thinking

That's a hoot! There hasn't been as much tribalism and sloganeering in US politics as there is now since before the Civil War. Children graduating high school these days are barely literate and absolutely incapable of identifying a logical syllogism or evaluating an argument. Jon Stewart's joke news show is most of the country's prime source of information and analysis. Maybe there's a fantastic revolution of "critical thinking" happening in the third world somewhere, but certainly not in the US or western Europe.

Still, the concept seems really cool.
They probably have specific requirements. They may or may not be worthwhile. They may or may not make sense. But any vendor is going to satisfy those requirements, and charge for knowing, implementing and demonstrating those requirements.
This is a pretty unfortunately uninformed comment. But I especially want to point out this piece:

> Ask any Chinese person if they think English spelling is logical and they will say no.

I've seen people from all different countries complain about English spelling. But not China. No Chinese person has, in my experience, ever even considered the idea that there's anything to complain about. Rather, they rely on the spelling of English words as a crutch to get English speakers to understand them when their accent gets in the way, for example, by saying something like "Poss. <blank stare from the English speaker> Poss P-A-U-S-E Poss."

And to add to what everyone else is saying, here are some characters using the 丁 component, but not pronounced ding:

Protip with this feature: It can resolve where you originally bound your event listeners, regardless of if you used jQuery or whatever. So, either set up a breakpoint or establish an Event Listener Breakpoint[1] and you can walk back to where you registered the handler.

Wage Theft Across the Board
I was able to do that with GNU Make. Granted, the syntax is a bit ... odd, but it was doable.

ASM = A09/a09

%.o %.l : %.a
$(ASM) -o $(*F).o -l $(*F).l $(*F).a

clean:
/bin/rm -rf *.o *.l

foo : disasm.l
bar : disasm.o
baz : disasm.l disasm.o

The target baz has both a .l and a .o, both of which are produced in one command. The line that begins with "%.o" starts an implicit rule, which loosely states, in English: "to produce a .o file, or a .l file, run the following ...". $(*F) is a GNUism that maps to the filename of the source (directory part, if any, is stripped). This works. I tested all three targets (foo, bar, baz) with a "make clean" between each one.

(and for the really curious, a09 is a 6809 assembler; disasm.a is a 6809 diassembler, written in 6809; binary is a 2K relocatable library)

I think you have to "unslave" the ports from the master so they pass their packets up to the CPU, assign the ports to a bridge, and then the assign the bridge to a vlan.

It took me about 50 hours to figure out but I did manage to get three SSIDs on one radio, each of which would connect the client to a different vlan.
Data compiled by the Economic Policy Institute show that in 2012, the Department of Labor helped 308,000 workers recover $280 million in back pay for wage-theft violations — nearly double the amount stolen that year in robberies on the street, at banks, gas stations and convenience stores.

This article might be the most unintentionally perfect example of double speak I personally have ever read.

Privacy is publicity, publicity is privacy.

Hot damn we have the perfect dystopian future slogan for the NSA.

Just because you didn't take a photo of something doesn't mean that:

Your cell carrier doesn't know where you were
Google maps doesn't know where you were
Other people didn't take pictures
Security cams didn't take pictures
License plate readers didn't record you
Your car didn't record you
Your refrigerator didn't hear you talking about it

Online privacy isn't about people in your personal circle not knowing about something you did. It's about the gobs of unintentional personally identifiable data you leave strewn about the world as you go about your seemingly innocuous daily activities. Somebody, somewhere can statistically confirm who shittyanalogy is in the meat world. That's not because I have any desire to correlate my personal life with my digital. That is because I have no real online privacy.

Yea, in fact governments are a major customer of Microsoft Custom Support Agreements, not only for XP but also for 2000 and NT4 back in the day. Some of them are even public. The UK government has a government wide Windows XP custom support agreement for example.
If this is a true systemic problem, the next person better be sure to actually collect evidence/proof of what happened and then clearly present facts instead of resorting to histrionics.

If this whole thing were as bad as JAH has made it out to be, I would have imagined we would have already seen damning emails and other written correspondence backing up here allegations. As a company that doesn't most of its work asynchronously through written prose, it's not like github doesn't have oodles and oodles of written correspondence that would support her position better. There's email, pull requests, chat, etc. Given the duration of employment, she must have plenty of things to point at. If she didn't she should have made sure that some of the offending interactions were captured in written form at least once.
GitHub co-founder quits after investigator finds “errors of judgment”
I love this site, but it could use Ratings functionality. I want to know what other users think about the courses.
I think there are several arguments for it.
The converse a desire not to read is obviously a negative as it is one of the fastest ways we can assimilate information.

Before the internet and videos reading was one of the most efficient ways you could learn, be it actual non-fiction texts or the expanding the mind type fiction. (I'd argue it still is, but I'd guess it's arguable about reading fiction). So we still burn a candle for the heights reading reached as an intellectual pursuit.

Another reason it may be lauded is the positive signaling that can be associated with it. Off the top of my head it would indicate: the fact you have time to read, that you are able to focus for long enough to read, that you can be stimulated by purely mental pursuits, (arguably) that you will spend time finding books to read rather than just watch whatever the latest advertisement told you to, (arguably) that you have an interest in some of humanities greatest works.

This is off the top of my head and certainly you could argue that reading books (especially fiction, though studies have shown fiction to improve empathy) is no longer as important. Certainly you could argue that people may read books that have no inherent value but even that low bar would be worth encouraging as it would still encourage those around them to read in (perhaps) a more productive way.
The falsehood in the claim that capitalism is an "ism" can be demonstrated by the fact that no nation or culture has ever "imposed" capitalism upon its people. All forms of socialism, fascism, redistributism, Keynsianism, etc, are imposed by government taking deliberate action against the natural economic choices of their people. What you call "capitalism" is just the absence of such interventions. Capitalism is just a word to describe the natural economic life of man.
I think it's the project that does syntax highlighting for the code browser in Github?
To counter this - installed 2.0, dropbox setup was just a matter of copying/pasting my password from 1Password (took ~10 seconds), and all my accounts/settings were there just fine.

Bugs are frustrating, but please realize that sometimes they happen despite best efforts. Lets keep small annoyances like this perspective and not say they're "ruining customer trust." Save that claim for situations like selling your data or generally being evil and untrustworthy.

I hope you reached out to the development team with a constructive bug report to help them track down your issue.

Wasn't this possible already? Put a breakpoint or 'breakpoint;' on the function body's first line and it will pause execution when the function is called synchronously or asynchronously. And browse the call stack on the right column. What's new here? I have been doing this for quite sometime.

Access to emails is one thing. Access to the internal public banter and coordination of work hardly strikes me as worrying based on all the discussions I've seen at my current place of work and past places of work. Any information sensitive enough to keep from your significant other is probably too sensitive for a shared internal conversation system available to all employees. Yeah, there's stuff that you wouldn't want your competitors to know, but for most everyone else with no skin in the business/industry is fairly irrelevant information.

It's nice to know that the poor experience isn't just a matter of a missing upgrade path. However, having such a limited view of trust -- such as just "being good stewards of data" -- is exactly what causes companies to end up with none and wonder why.

Bugs, bad upgrade paths, adding "features" while losing polish, etc. are all great ways to lose trust.

GitHub's Atom ( though its an editor, not IDE ) is backed by chrome dev tools I think.
The definition improves if you add "and is created for that purpose", though maybe still not without holes.

As an example of your kids' mess, check out Tracey Emin's 'My Bed' [1], it's basically just a mess, but by deciding it is art and exhibiting it for that purpose it becomes art. But when it was in her house in the exact same state.. not art, as it wasn't intended to be.

Would you expect GitHub's legal counsel not to have signed off on these statements? I honestly didn't even consider that a possibility.

I make a distinction between trust and reliability. I can trust a company, even though they might not make the most reliable products.

Not the correct project.
Since it's posted on Hacker News, this story immediately made me think of things that come up while building anything, but especially software...

- choice of language for a project

- the decision to use this library or that, or to "roll your own"

- etc

Ignoring the obvious "cheating" of plagiarism or copyright violation, there's still occasionally pressure, internal or external, focus heavily on tools and methodologies over building the actual thing and focusing on its essential traits, weaknesses, and strengths.

And finding the right balance between the attention given to tools versus the thing you're building is itself an art of sorts.
Amazing summary, thank you for taking the time.

This assumes you know the function that's being triggered. It's not always clear. And throw JQuery into the mix and things get murkier pretty quickly.
The difference (I believe) is in the stack trace depth, specifically that the trace doesn't die if it happens to go through an async event. You can see in the first gif that if the async box is checked it allows a developer to see the stack trace all the way back to when the form submit event was initiated, despite the fact that an async ajax call was made in the middle of the stack. Normally, the stack trace stops at a response to an async event. You can see this in the beginning of the gif without the async box checked.
> Another thing troubling me is whether to reply yes or no on questions like "didn't you agree?"

Native English speakers often get confused by this one too. You can respond either yes or no in those situations as long as you specify the one you wanted afterwards.

e.g. "Don't you agree?"

"Yes, I agree" and "No, I agree" would both be acceptable.
>Aereo is providing the service of establishing a remote receiver for the public to pick up OTA broadcasts outside the transmission area.

I was in the Aereo beta in Houston (I didn't keep it, found it kind of boring, fuzzy and laggy, and not matching how I watch OTA on multiple TVs at once). When I tried to watch a Houston OTA stream in San Antonio, I was politely told that that was not allowed. There is no technical reason this is not allowed, but I'd guess Aereo blocks this for now to keep the legal issues bounded.
