It depends on the species. I believe most store mushrooms are fine, but for example, raw morels have monomethylhydrazine in them (or compounds that degrade into hydrazine). Rocket fuel. Of course not huge amounts, but it's not good for you.

False morels have higher concentrations of it:

I'd really like to see Twitch implement a system where streamers could upload separate audio channels for their videos. That way a single channel could be muted for infringement without muting the others. You wouldn't have to lose the audio from the game and player commentary, which is often integral to the video, just because a copyrighted song was playing in the background. This is actually a feature that would have some value to me as a user because I often watch streams where I don't like the music but can't turn it off without losing the caster's commentary which often times the best part.

This does put an extra burden on casters but maybe the value of degrading gracefully in the face of copyright complaints will make it worth it.
I think it has everything to do with it being acquired by google.
That doesn't really explain why it exists.
I've unintentionally known this for about 25 years. Nobody ever believed that I was allergic to broccoli or cauliflower and just thought I hated them. Then one day I tried out kale and found that it tasted similar to broccoli to me. I asked my wife if she felt the same way (brussel sprouts also taste the same) and she said they all taste very different to her.

We then looked up and saw that they're all part of the mustard family.

So if you're ever curious if a plant is part of the mustard family just let me taste it and I'll let you know... and then throw up on you.
I agree that creativity is as important to the human experience as you say. But that still doesn't mean the industry of creativity won't suffer the same drive for automation as every other, or that it can't be generated by machines. I don't think there's actually a contradiction here, people will still be creative, but more and more popular culture will be algorithmically generated - the jobs for creative work, and the support work, may not be there.

Although that does also suggest that human-generated creative works may become more valuable for their rarity.
I doubt our great grandchildren will forget how to decode JPEG or h264. We haven't forgotten how to read Latin.

No, such footage would not pass the basic creativity requirements for copyright eligibility.
I'm having a hard time getting the current "hype" about pourover coffee. To me it generally tastes like Grandma's drip coffee. IMHO, it takes pressure and heat to really extract maximum flavor from the beans, thus espresso has been invented.
Ah yup that makes sense, for some reason I was thinking the shoutcast stream would entirely handle the streamers audio, rather than just the music portion of the audio (which makes a lot more sense...)
Some scientists theorize that that a Humanzee is possible http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanzee
> The photographer's input would be at best a minor contribution

Alright - try taking a photo (shutter released by yourself or a monkey) of a monkey using a camera that (1) isn't present, (2) isn't on, (3) has no batteries, (4) is set to be completely under/over-exposed, (5) has the lens cap on, and (6) is nowhere near a monkey. Let us know how that turns out.

The fact is, the photographer brought gear to monkeys with the intention to take photos of monkeys. A monkey saw a little box and figured out how to make a funny sound with the box.

There are artists who "paint" with bacteria and other live organisms. The bacteria may be producing nearly 100% of the final image (the only reason the works are noteworthy), and in many cases, the result may not be entirely anticipated by the artist. That doesn't mean the bacteria owns the copyright.

If the monkey had communicated in any way that it wanted to take a selfie (or if someone familiar with monkeys could tell that's what it was trying to do), then we could look at the monkey having "creative intention" as you say. Otherwise, either the photographer has the copyright or no one does.
So, a transduceMap implementation would be this I guess?

transduceMap :: (b -> a) -> (acc -> a -> acc) -> (acc -> b -> acc)
transduceMap f = \reduceFn -> \acc el -> reduceFn acc (f el)

lambda added for clarity (no pun intended), however types are easier to match when using this syntax:

transduceMap :: (b -> a) -> (acc -> a -> acc) -> acc -> b -> acc
transduceMap f reduceFn acc el = reduceFn acc (f el)
Push for Pussy – a parody on Push for Pizza
Are we in a bubble, or are we just a joke?

Push for Pussy is the result of a 5 minute ideation session upon hearing about Push for Pizza. Sure Pizza is nice, but pussy is better, amirite?

Seriously though, should we need to stop and wonder if programmers should be wasting their valuable time on allowing people to become even lazier?

Isn't it crazy that the stupid tech gets all the media attention?

Never having to enter your payment details over and over again sure sounds good though.

What are your thoughts?
Contracts - for small projects, nothing substantial, just something basic in the initial proposal like "I will work for you and you will pay me to do so".

New site - a basic proposal, usually about a page or so in length. A sitemap, maybe basic user stories to describe interactive functionality. If it's a complex site, charge for discovery/planning as part of the project and document enough to create a reasonable scope.

Modifications - Clients will always, always have suggestions and changes along the way. Buffer your bids to expect this (~20%) and don't be afraid to issue change orders (short written descriptions of new functionality) with appropriate charges for major scope creep. Managing expectations is key.

Post-launch support - Yes, you'll often make more money this way. Hosting can be one way, for clients with lots of regular changes try to get them onto a retainer where they buy a block of hours at a reduced rate each month, provides cashflow and steady income for you.

I haven't looked at the code but my guess is it wouldn't be that hard. Implementing a quick filesystem on top of FUSE and pointing Dropbox to it.
Can you cross pollinate cauliflower and broccoli (outside of genetic engineering)? I honestly cannot say with certainty, but I tend to doubt it. If you can, I would think same species; if you can't, I'd think separate. My supporting evidence is non-scientific and anecdotal - having a garden for 15 years with both plants in close proximity I would have thought if cross pollination had been possible it would have happened in that time frame.
It's much more useful in a dense urban area. You can e.g. see that your friend is on the same event as you. Or in a caffee two blocks from you. Or in a cinema watching a movie, so you now have a conversation topic.

One of my experiences of using Foursquare is when a friend of mine checked in to a particular takeout food venue we fancy. A notification came, and a guy sitting next to me got his phone and call the mentioned friend to also buy food for all of us.

Such random situations were the main value of Foursquare to me.
One data point, I have seen a several women independently call other women "guys" plenty of times. (I'm not native so the first couple of times it took me by surprise.)

Fascinating moves by the company. They gain users by looking the other way for illegal sports broadcasts which made up the majority of watched content at Justin.tv. Next they pivot to e-sports with Twitch which is a huge success but also plagued by rampant copyright issues (this is the music, but the actual broadcast of some games may be illegal). They look the other way again until they decide to cash out, which means a quick clean up before the billion dollar pay day.

The lesson to VC backed startups here should be to ignore the laws you don't want to bother with until the last possible second (and then some more!), preferably with offer paperwork in your hands. Airbnb has shown that this can scale.

It's special because it was developed as part of an existing (reasonably noteworthy) franchise but never released to the public, so the version in the Library of Congress is probably one of very few in existence.

There is some sort of automated checking in going on; I haven't checked in even once in Swarm, and I've been asked by my friends if I'm a fan of this change because apparently, I've been checking in all over the city.
They spend 24% on "Legal & CA, HR, Fin & Admin".

I personally love the idea of Google self-driving cars being used in this respect. Would be interesting to see Amazon get into this space as well considering their work in optimizing inventory and restocking algorithms - seems like it could be a natural fit.

Where would you go? Every centralized service will eventually run into this problem of contributory copyright infringement.

If you truly want to change the playing field, free us from the shackles of copyright, and bring us to a new world of open creativity and sharing, your best bet is to invent some sort of exclusively peer-to-peer video sharing platform so centralized government and their dogs won't be able to kill the entire service by taking down one entity.
It's not closed, the layout is just confusing. The discussion in January was closed, there's a new one now.
While some people certainly don't think that Twitch should do anything at all, I think most people have a problem with how poorly it seems to be implemented thus far. False positives are the biggest thing that pisses me off about any system like this. Hurting legitimate content creators is not acceptable.

That's not precisely correct. You can statically link proprietary code with LGPL code and even distribute it, but you must also distribute the object code such that the user can re-link against newer/changed versions of the library to create a new static binary.
Do you think a free market with property rights is a "self-correcting system", in which every participant always ends up with enough resources to survive? That sounds weird to me, because firms go out of business all the time. If the trend of machine productivity continues, it's easy for me to imagine a future where most people go "out of business", like inefficient firms.
>No - they are credited, but the director is the one who created the circumstances under which the camera operator's actions capture the essential product of a whole team's work, guided by the director. //

The director here is the monkey, the photog was the technician that made available the equipment but any artistic input to the shot was apparently the monkey's.

Similarly if you do camera setup for David Hockney you don't get ownership of the shot rights because he only pressed the trigger.

Copyright isn't necessarily about who did the work, it's about who did the specific creative work at the point of creation, here no person did. There is a fine line between this an setting up a photo trap for wildlife imaging, but that line is intent and, whilst fine, is clearly enough demarked to see where this case lies IMO.

I've recollection of a similar case being heard but not of the details, nor even the jurisdiction TBH ... anyone?

FWIW, an awful lot of seed growing involves preventing unwanted crosses, but unless you were saving seeds from your garden you might overlook this.
when someone can buy a self-driving vehicle and hook it up to uber's network, buying a car could be a capital investment that gets you recurring revenue: you just hook your car up to uber's api, and take it to an automatic service station when the on-board diagnostics report that it needs work to be done.
Two counterpoints:

1) Often certain music is played simply as a "cultural reference" -- e.g. making fun of it, having it in the background shortly for dramatic or comical effect, and so on. I would think most classify as fair use; however removals will likely be irrevocable and done with parsimony.

2) Even if the broadcaster would like to give up some of his revenue for copyright, he won't be able to. It just doesn't make much economic sense for large brands to issue small licenses, yet it does make sense to go after small violators since they're allowed to do it en masse.

The point is, viewers lose culturally and copyright holders don't actually gain anything.

"... anyone who tried to use the Pi for long-running reliable applications and failed has this knee-jerk reaction. ..."

Curious, do you have any cites/examples? I run my Pi's 24/7 and the system software is rock solid with uptime of weeks sans power outages. Applications I write might be another thing.

When you mention applications is that "user created applications?" or a "hardware/software combination?"
Intent certainly matters in the domain of intellectual property law.

For example, imagine that I were to instruct someone to make a device for me, and they made it exactly according to my design, and it performed some novel function that I had predicted it would. Under current law, I would be the inventor, not the person who constructed the device. This is since the "inventive step" was performed by myself. I'm not however sure how this relates to copyright (the issue at hand in the OP)...

At this point it's almost a literacy thing. Basic knowledge and breaking that fear of computers would be enough. At that point people can decide if they're genuinely interested based on knowledge instead of (probably) irrational fear. For some people it really is a matter of just breaking that initial intimidation factor. There's more than enough time wasted in K-12 to not put at least an intro class in there for a year...

I remember getting scolded in my 7th grade (required) home education class because I had the pan's handle in a dangerous position while cooking eggs. The pillow I made was the shit though and I did learn how to make muffins so it wasn't a complete loss. But you've got to agree an Intro to Python/Java class would be a much better use of time.

And then there was that one time I broke my arm playing flag football in one of my countless years of "physical education". Teach kids diet and exercise for that "subject" to be remotely beneficial in my opinion, with an emphasis on the diet. That's lifelong knowledge. I don't play flag football anymore, also still don't have full range of motion in my left arm (it's nothing bad al all, just kind of annoying on occasion).

Or those two years I spent in French. I remember my French name was Pascal. I can tell you my name and count to three but unfortunately can't remember how to tell you bye, or anything else. Everyone should at least be introduced to code like they are to algebra. I was introduced to woodworking, close to a decade of random ass activities in phys. ed., clay classes, jewelry classes, and more I can't even remember.

A semester or better yet full year is more relevant in today's society. And frankly, is a skill that will have a subjectively higher quality of life than whatever else they were considering. Breaking the initial intimidation faction, like I said, could be all it takes. Stupid to not do that when so many other almost-mind-boggling stupid things are required.

I know my 6th/7th grade cousins were amazed this year when I told them I was making an Android app. I told them they could too and there are plenty of sites to start, told them a few, but I know they didn't believe me. I think kids around that age would love making a simple HTML5 game or something. Accomplishing that at a young age would change how they think about tech for the rest of their lives. I know my cousins will never get exposure to that outside of school because their blue collar father (not saying anything bad, my dad is blue collar as well) has them playing sports year round - football, basketball, baseball, and soccer. Now that's awesome, but over the top. Those aren't lifelong skills the same way coding can be. I hate to even limit it to 'coding', it's knowledge that can help apply logic to all areas of life while potentially creating plenty of opportunities.
Since the Monkey cannot hold the Copyright.

Lets suppose you drop your Camera and at that moment you get a great photograph. It was mere an accident, but how can somebody argue that you don't own the copyright ?
Yeah, I'm less sure about the properties as you go this way. You ought to be able to get an Arrow out of it and it's a pretty natural idea.

You see it even more with the sciences. Anyone else find it interesting that the classes taught in a traditional U.S. high-school curriculum - algebra, trig, calculus, mechanics, combustion, fundamentals of life support - are precisely those needed to send rockets into space? And the curriculum itself dates from the 50s and early 60s, when our primary national priority was beating the Soviets and putting a man on the moon?

Meanwhile, the STEM skills that are utterly necessary in today's world - statistics, linear algebra, logic, computer programming, electrical engineering, chaos theory, ecology, molecular biology - are largely absent from the traditional curriculum.

But then, that's the problem with top-down planning. You end up with systems adapted to the prevailing conditions at their birth, and nobody willing to stick their neck out to change them.
I'm a Turkish immigrant as well, and I read this story from time to time for inspiration. What Ulukaya has accomplished is truly remarkable.

For us hacker types, I think the most relevant tidbit is this:

Making the product, which Ulukaya registered under the name Euphrates, was the easy part. It was much harder to run the factory, hire the right people, handle sales and marketing, and secure wholesale buyers.

This is similar to what you hear from startup founders: making the product is relatively easy compared to the "business stuff" such as hiring, marketing, sales and so on. What is not clear -- to me, at least -- is that did the making of the product simply appear easy because it was enjoyable, and vice versa?

This part is interesting too:

In 2005, Ulukaya received a piece of junk mail, from a local real-estate company, advertising the sale of a yogurt-and-cheese factory that had closed down. He went to see it.

I don't know if this is proof that junk mail is common because it works. Maybe it is. But think about how much sheer luck was involved here. He got some junk mail, which he happened to browse (out of boredom?) or maybe he was just staring at it while thinking about something else and it suddenly piqued his interest. He then leveraged that luck by actually going to see the factory. If he had not, then Chobani would probably still be a small-time producer of yogurt today.

I want people who aren't up to providing secure security software to say so and bow out, rather than giving their users a false sense of security, and giving other developers a reason for not wanting to create "unnecessary" forks and split mindshare/effort in the hopes that OpenSSL will be "good enough".

There's still not as much effort going into the alternatives as there could be, because people are still hoping that OpenSSL will get its act together, and that downstream devs won't have to start writing autotool magic and #ifdefs to deal with OpenSSL and LibReSSL and GnuTLS's OpenSSL wrapper and whatever other fork(s) their users might be using instead.

I think if OpenSSL got out of the way, we'd converge on a better replacement more quickly than we are doing now, and we'd all be more secure as a result.
So if my phone takes a picture when taking it out of my pocket, is it immediately public domain? I would guess that it being accidental wouldn't play much into it.
