How about people switching away from Firefox due to DRM?
Don't they care about loosing users that way?

Although TBH there aren't many alternatives (open source, doesn't support DRM), other than a fork of Firefox itself without the DRM bits.
I second the recommendation of Moom; its grid layout can go beyond the 2x2 that most other tools support and its window snapshot restoration is great for laptops.
...there's nothing wrong with paying for content as a concept, and you can record cable broadcasts. This argument makes no sense.
OpenERP could've really benefited from some usability expertise, and if this site is any indication, Odoo may suffer the same fate. If you're going to put this much time/money into a new brand, how could you miss so badly?

In my experience with OpenERP, the end users always took a back seat to the developers. Granted, ERP software is inherently complicated, but with each new version you could tell they made an attempt at a simplified interface and never hit the mark.
Why ? Because any general purpose computing device should be suspect, that's why.

Instead of a dumb monitor, purpose built for being a display, this is a general purpose computer with:

"On the SOC side, it's 4x cortex A9 @ 1.45Ghz with Mali 450 MP4 GPU-- h265 decode at 4K/30fps, 2GB RAM"

... that's a lot of complexity and capability. Too much to blindly trust.

In fact, the only correct answer to the question "what does it do on wireshark" is: "nothing, since it's not capable of a network connection".
Russia Severs Space-Science Ties With U.S. In A Curt Breakup Tweet
There are actually some good statistics. If you look at 100 richest people on earth, 37% of them grew up middle-class households, 36% of them grew up poor households (http://fundersandfounders.com/how-much-sweat-it-takes-from-z...).

With the distribution of middle-class and lower-class of around 50-50 in the U.S. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class_in_the_United_Stat...), it appears that it doesn't matter at all in what environment the 100 richest people today grew up.
It also a slippery slope. If ISP A is making $$$ from not treating everyon the same, ISP B-Z will follow eventually....
WebStorm 8 TypeScript Support Review
The problem is that a network that can stream 20Mbit continuously to every customer (so they always can get the "advertised" bandwidth) would be absurdly expensive, and rates would have to go up accordingly

Then maybe they should advertise a different bandwidth?

The main way to really reduce GC pressure in a fully GC'd system, short of improving the GC itself, is to use pooling.

It occurs to me, that I don't understand how pooling helps a non generational GC like golang's. In a generational collector, the contents of the pool would be promoted to regions of GC memory that are copied less. Go's GC isn't generational, so what is going on?
> The term "Open Internet" is a marketing phrase promoted by Comcast for the purpose of creating confusion.

Its the term that the FCC adopted first for its net neutrality efforts. Comcast, the first target of an enforcement action based on those principles, attempted to subvert the term to render it meaningless.
Sorry I've changed the wording to better reflect that I'm encouraging discussion on here. Thanks for the headsup

I've noticed on a lot of blogs, there'll be 1-5 comments on the blog itself, but 30+ HN comments, so seems like a good idea to allow people to discuss on the forum that they're most comfortable with.

No, I honestly know next to nothing about web apps programming. I do know there exists decent-looking support for web apps for Rust, Haskell, and Scheme (Racket, but Racket isn't compiled to a binary), but I don't have the knowledge base to assess how good web programming is in these languages, if it's even good at all. I know this website is written in Arc (a Lisp). https://github.com/wting/hackernews

What are the alternatives to OpenERP today ? (I mean, free and open sources ones, with acceptable UI)
It's funny. An "Introduction to Modern Java Web Development" sounds like a primer for the Play Framework, Scala, and Akka. Each of the examples looks like the starter documentation for Play, in that you've got your json manipulation, routing, connecting to a database, DI, actors, etc.

Java devs-- you seriously owe it to yourself to spend the time investigating and ramping up onto Scala and Play. This is where the future of Java web app development is being driven from, by Typesafe and the Play / Spray /Akka open source developers. You do yourself a great disservice by sticking with Spring, Hibernate, JBoss, and the old standbys.
It's actually not so expensive relative to the profit that these companies have been making. But they have a monopoly - so there's almost no incentive for them to upgrade their networks.
Any argument that talks about the burden of Comcast having to upgrade their intermediate networks inevitably ignores that this is precisely what customers are paying Comcast for, which makes trapped customers rightfully upset.

The phenomenon you describe is best analyzed as the assumptions behind the oversell ratio needing to change - customers' usage is becoming more correlated in time, and they have found a type of service that will expand to use all available bandwidth until each user has >500Mbit.

The appropriate thing to do is to either lower the advertised/supplied bandwidth rates, or to institute metered billing. The first one is a market non-starter as customers shop by large numbers (hence why cable got so popular over DSL). And people are rightfully worried about the second because there's very little competition in this market, and instances of such have appeared to take a punishment-based screw-the-customer approach rather than a selling-more-product-to-customer one.

I think the only legislative solution is to create competition in the consumer ISP space by making last-mile delivery a regulated wholesale utility with many transit providers competing for service.
Again, you clearly aren't from around here.

To be less facetious, I could also choose AT&T DSL, but they don't offer competitive bandwidth. And they aren't exactly a small independent ISP. There might be ISPs that offer "business class" service, but their prices probably start at least 3x what I currently pay. I'm not even sure they would offer service in an apartment complex either.
I suspect the GNU toolchain would have been ported over at some point.
Cellphone kill switch is now law in Minnesota
You indeed made a motivated and reasoned argument that Islam has problems with extremism, as I said I understand and agree with it.
Perhaps there is some misunderstanding. My response - in which i wrote bigotry not intolerance (not the same) - referred to your remark to asadlionpk, not to your explanation of your remark to me - in which you explained where you were coming from.
Your exposition on extremism with regard to the nature of revelation in religion is all well and good, but imo you misapply this to the statement of an individual which says s he's quite sucesful with no-interest banking based on God's law.
Perhaps he's a tolerant muslim living among quite tolerant/modern muslims in which case your remarks are not appropriate to his situation. No-interest banks can operate well in a non-sharia or non-fundamentalist state, or perhaps he's a liberal jew.

I am not calling you names, if so I apologize as that's not my intention. I don't see why you think my earlier comment is not a rational argument:

"but it's bigotry when you suggest asadlionpk is supportive of a culture of slavery, oppression of women and hate just for his remark that he's is doing fine with following the eternal law of God in this regard."

So to me it seemed you suggested that everybody who follows the laws of God (in this regard) is an extremist with your quote that asadlionpk "argue for a fundamentalist sharia state or similar" or you did not meant to suggest this but then you should have expressed it differently, imho. It's very difficult or impossible for me to read it otherwise.

I am not planning or thinking about moving anywhere. I meant other people do because of the misappropriation and misunderstandings about religion and culture.

The political double standards you speak of also exist here, fortunately the media at times pierces through these double standards.
Perhaps you don't expect it but I respect your comment and I've no reason to stamp you or call you names because of that. I even sympathize with it. I also have no problem with people refusing to shake hands with women on religious grounds unless it's a sign of disrespect. You can respect people and not giving them a hand, just as much as you can practice non-interest banking and participate in a moderate religious way of life.

Starting with the "land of opportunity and freedom" Insert picture of eagle...

wow,

such irony.

And then people are up in arms about moving backbone internet functionality out of US, claiming that the internet is in its most free form when situated in America. With this FCC ruling, it's more or less confirmed that this statement is a joke. American freedom seems to be restricted to the freedom to wield a firearm.
The existence of the LGPL has always seemed liked a solution to what would otherwise be a grey area to me, and I thought FSF thought that too. Not sure they come down clearly on the one side. I know some of the Linux kernel people think that way too. Interesting.
The real fight here is about mobile and all the other platforms like Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Sony, wearables, cars, etc. Netflix and co. don't want to have to develop for all these platforms, they want to hijack the web to do the cross-platform dirty work for them. Especially since Adobe already gave up on running Flash on all the platforms after Apple blocked them on iOS.
CDNs are essentially identical (technologically and economically) to what Netflix bought from Comcast: http://clipperhouse.com/2014/05/07/what-netflix-bought-from-...

I'm sure this is great walkthrough. Although I'd like it if there weren't headlines like "FP explained".

I realize this may be pedantic, but If I've learned anything about FP, the term means different things things to different people, and a statement which makes universal claim about FP In General then will misrepresent the other flavors of FP.

At least qualify it somehow. Actually, why not just say something like "Terminal-Based Game Walkthrough in Clojure"?
Trying to learn about that game so I could understand a good fanfic was what alerted me to the problem, and not surprisingly the first fork of the site I looked at, back when it was announced on HN (can't find the link, unfortunately), the front page (Wikimedia) highlighted that title.

No, the DC Circuit did that when it struck down the FCC's old Open Internet order. The FCC has proposed a draft plan to limit harassment by the trolls, and asked the public for comments on how to make it better before "official sanction" is given to any rule.

I think you misunderstood the question:

> If you are given back your time and energy but taken back everything else,
> can you repeat what have you done? Say, starting today?

What's being asked is basically, starting today, if everything was taken away from PG (or any successful person) and instead he (or the person) was given the same amount of time (20 odd years ?) and energy, would they achieve the same level of success, 20 years hence.

My own take on this is, yes - Most successful people would become successful irrespective of starting conditions. Of course the level of success might differ since things like luck come into play but most successful people tend to 'build' their luck (ref: every self-help book ever).
A friend of mine was experiencing multiple-second launches for Terminal. When he looked, he saw that it was occupying about 1 GB of memory.

Turns out the option to maintain ALL HISTORY EVER as scrollback was turned on. So he had the last year of compiler output and whatnot stored in a file somewhere, getting loaded into memory the first time he launched Terminal after a boot, and then eating a big chunk of his laptop's memory. Turning off the option was a major improvement.
I put my money on Spring, Hibernate, JBoss lasting longer than Scala, Akka etc.

This is a false choice, born of deception. Comcast's allocations are not zero sum between upgrading and user fees. They're taking record profits every quarter, and customer fees are higher than they've ever been. They are choosing to shoulder the costs of network infrastructure on everyone except their investors.

No, case-insensitive auto-completion doesn't work by default on OS X. For example, `cd /appli <tab>` does nothing by default (it's not finding `/Applications/`) even though my disk is formatted case-insensitive.

Germany to require a "No Spy Guarantee" from IT outsourcing partners
It maybe not be linear, but if Netflix starts sending 2x traffic, they will pay something like 1.8x-2x. That's not changing, and nobody is disputing this.

Are you arguing that Netflix's costs to scale traffic into Comcast are commensurate with Comcast's costs to scale the delivery of that traffic to consumers? I don't think that's true. Didn't Level 3 just blog[1] that they largely operate on a settlement-free basis? Prior to their deal with Comcast, Netflix may have been paying Level 3, and Level 3 may have been paying Comcast, but neither could have been paying the order-of-billions Comcast would need to spend to support, say, doubled Netflix primetime traffic.

I've been looking at Android-based TV boxen and I've been disappointed - there are very few players beating the Apple TV in that space. All the devices are either miserable (buggy, poor wifi, underpowered) or cost more than Apple's deviec. If you can't beat Apple on price and you're a Chinese no-name company, you're in the wrong business.

So far the only company that seems to be taking that market seriously is Amazon, and Amazon's android fork is far-enough-away from stock Android that it doesn't really count.

I keep hoping somebody would get some momentum and take a solid toe-hold.

I guess it was mostly because of the rocket technology (relighting an engine), the new materials (probably carbon fiber legs), and the new/cheap/lightweight computer technologies available today.

You are right that it's not enough to have ToS; the users should actively accept them. But what was plain wrong about my post? It said typically this is how it's supposed to work, in which the wiki has a right to change its licensing. Not that TVtropes ToS is like that or that what they did was right.

If the only provision of the ToS that you're accepting is that you are over 13, then the wiki has no rights to even distribute your content under CC-BY-SA. So the conversion to NC isn't even relevant.

And in any case, you own copyright to anything you author, unless you expressly transfer them to someone else in exchange for some sort of compensation. Absent that, the blogger of OP is fully able to release his work under any license he chooses. And he did that on his blog. So what's wrong?

But what if another person that did pick up the cup and interacts similarly isn't under the microscope as much since they passed their initial test?
