I see the same problem lots with code that claims to be MIT and BSD licensed, but either doesn't include the license, or includes the license template with the placeholders for the year and copyright holder unfilled.

It makes complying with the license impossible.

Yes, but whitelist is supposed to be for unobtrusive and not tracking ads. Then Google pays and… it is on whitelist! I cannot help but think that by using ABP instead of Adblock Edge you are giving ABP developers means to blackmail advertising companies. And not getting the protection you want in the first place.

We discussed this before[1] but you failed to back up any claims about this re-licensing and re-assigning business you vent about here. You still haven't explained how you can take away someone else's rights. Copyright licenses are used to grant other people rights, not to take them away. You still haven't read the Berne convention, have you? Can you point at a case in any country that suggests the license could be interpreted outside the context of copyright? I.e. that "do what the fuck you want" in a copyright license can be seen as granting someone rights beyond the ones (related to copying, modification, performance, etc.) that are normally exclusive to the author and therefore require him to use a license to grant others these same rights?

If you can't back anything up, I don't think you should be spreading your own interpretations in this manner, presenting them as truth. We already have far too many people confused over licenses, and passing that confusion on doesn't help anyone.

Right, that's why all of the pictures as of women in the Apple store, it's sold as a bikini search app (which is very much mostly a women's swimsuit), and there is no overbearing culture of sexism in tech? None of those things matter, is that really what you are trying to say?

Eh, once i was at a startup where we were selling our mostly COTS software to a government agency, but they had to put it out for a bid. They basically lifted our marketing material into the req and said "software must do all <X> and cost $<Y>."

We had a competitor who had copied a bunch of our stuff, including our typos, but they were missing one essential feature. Yet they still got the bid somehow. A mystery for the ages.
> Oh, and here I thought the greatest transfer of wealth in American history was the massive rise in disparity over the last thirty years between the nation's top 0.1% and everyone else.

Not all changes in economic status are transfers of wealth. Consider two cases:

1) I physically steal a CD from the record store and sell it. That's a transfer because the store can't sell what they no longer posses. Instead I have sold it. Nothing new is created.

2) I create an album and sell CDs of it. That's not a transfer. I created something new of value and introduced it to the world. I may get wealthy, but the people who buy my CD don't lose value. They exchange one thing of value (money) for another of equivalent value to them (my CD).

> The third paragraph of section 5 states that the attack is inapplicable on hashes with truncated output.

They actually refer to the large internal state size that makes the generic attack infeasible (for a state size of n bit you need 2^(n/2) many tries to find a collision on average).

> in the second, the attacker needs collisions in the full internal state of the hash function, rather than on the truncated states.

But as both sha256 and sha3-256 have internal state sizes >= 256 bit these are definitely enough for the foreseeable future to protect against generic attack. More interesting is the question whether you can combine specialized cryptanalysis two different hashes to build multicollisions. Apparently you can, at least for MD5 and SHA1: http://www.iacr.org/archive/asiacrypt2009/59120136/59120136....

Whisky is a fundamentally industrial product; fetishizing the "small batch artisinal" etc aspects ignores all the hard work that goes into making a replicable product, especially over the course of a decade-plus production cycle.

Beer has a similar problem; "small batch artisinal" tends to result in inconsistent product, so the easiest thing to do is to cover up inconsistencies with a lot of malt and hops. It's actually significantly harder to make a nice light pilsner than it is to make a heavyweight IPA.

If you want a "craft" product, you should really make it yourself.

Flipkart is popular among youngsters in India. I've bought books for my dad from the US and got it delivered to him in India. The best part is we don't have to make a payment during the order. They take cash on delivery.

I used to ask my Dad, why are real estate prices in India so high. You could buy a home in the bay area at the same price as it'd be in some neighborhoods in top metro cities. His answer was simple. There are a lot of people who can spend. India has a ton of youngsters and they'll increasingly spend money online.

"I can't even see how it can be manpower"

From personal experience in software development, dilution of responsibility can be incredibly expensive.

Scenario 1: I wonder about a minor detail, call up a random user, we hash it out in 5 minutes. Cost is about 10 minutes of total labor, figure maybe $10

Scenario 2: I have to organize a meeting with the exec stakeholder, the dept manager, and the entire dept staff. Which due to scheduling conflicts is in two weeks. Finally the meeting arrives and due to bike shedding we spend 2 hours talking about everything other than the topic until its hashed out. So the cost is two weeks of my salary doing nothing but surfing HN, lets say $3K, plus 2 hrs of mgmt for exec at $100/hr and the manager at $75 thats $350, plus double that time for them to make the "command decision" and later inform me, so thats $700 of management, plus the ten person working team has to burn an extra 2 hrs of overtime each at lets say $25/hr and 10 people that's $750 so we'll call it $4450.

So figuring out the default value, if any, for a blank of a form can cost anywhere from ten bucks at a personally responsible organization up to about five grand at a fully diluted responsibility organization.

Its obviously orders of magnitude more if you involve consultants, people flying in from out of state, etc.

In the private sector, investors provide capital that companies (and employees thereof) use to pursue projects. When the company fails, the employees are generally still paid (while some companies have employees who participate in profits / share risk with investors, it's rare for it to be a dominant form of compensation). Thus, the situation is more similar than you describe: if the projects fail, the investor/owner has paid out a lot of money to employees and vendors and is left with nothing.

The difference is that smart investors/owners are aware that the possibility of failure is inextricably tied to any attempt to excel, and allows people to try things that might fail in the pursuit of success.

In our current political climate (and probably in other climates as well), governments are dumber, and tend to drive their staff to manage towards over-safety and covering of asses rather than towards best outcomes.
Feeding from the government trough is where people REALLY get rich. This is why Palantir is pretty successful, because getting in bed with the government means being able to feed off our tax money much easier at elevated prices.

Wow, that is incredibly selective quoting! From the same article "Sea levels are obviously rising...the key problem is that sea level rise is likely to accelerate".

The article describes that in the short term, bigger waves are leaving more sediment expanding the island's area—but, the islands are not raising up, so sea level rise will (and already has) displaced people from these islands.

My mother has been to Kiribati, she saw first hand portions that have been lost to the sea. The reality is clear if you simply open your eyes and look.

> "safety > privacy"

Too many wrongly characterize the debate as "security versus privacy." The real choice is liberty versus control. Tyranny, whether it arises under threat of foreign physical attack or under constant domestic authoritative scrutiny, is still tyranny. Liberty requires security without intrusion, security plus privacy. Widespread police surveillance is the very definition of a police state. And that's why we should champion privacy even when we have nothing to hide.

Privacy protects us from abuses by those in power, even if we're doing nothing wrong at the time of surveillance.

5 Tips for Remote Systems Tech Support
You're absolutely right when you say that the brokerage could make money by front-running you. But so do the exchanges the broker is operating on. After all, we don't even know who operates btc-e, Bitstamp is slightly more transparent, Coinbase a bit more. The whole industry is completely unregulated so everyone could cheat you until it matures and some rules are set.

Perhaps I missed something...

But I don't see where you substantiate any of your claims.

You seem to just want to defend an obviously joke license.

This license, from my interpretations, forfeits most of the copyright protections, including allowing someone to re-license (per the FAQ of the license).

At the end of the day, you are free to use whatever license you think suits you best.

That does not mean it actually suits you best. (As demonstrated by Debian putting their foot down on other BS licenses such as this).
There are many other options. Here's a simple toy one, designed to eliminate the bad incentives discussed by freakonomics:

Say you have a tiny house that could reasonably sell in the range $90k-$110k, depending on how hard the broker works. If you give the broker 5% of the sales price, then he gets $5k on average, but on the margins he only sees $50 for every $1k he can raise the price by negotiating. So instead, give him 50% of ever dollar of the sales price over $90k. Now he still makes $5k on average (i.e. 50% of the average $10k over the lower-bound of $90k), but on the margins he gets $500 for every $1k he increases the price by negotiating hard!

Needless to say, there are all sorts of other ideas smart people could come up with. Often, the reason these don't work is because they seem complicated, and it's hard as a consumer to assess to broker-fee structure itself (a sort of market failure). But there's a good chance that technology can change this, by making info related to broker fee structures more accessible and more transparent. For instance, data about average broker fees, the distribution of house sales prices, etc. could be collected by a tech start-up, which would have been unfeasible to collect in the past.

I'm not sure you need a "workflow". In the case of a complex divergence on branch "foo" my procedure would be:

0. Be on local branch "foo". If you've just tried to pull and got conflicts, abort the merge. (Note that for this to work reliably, you should never pull without first committing or stashing your changes):

git merge --abort

1. Create a new branch "m":

git checkout -b m

2. Merge origin into m, in several pieces if necessary:

git merge origin/foo
git merge [hash of some intermediate commit on origin/foo]

3. Once you're happy with all this, switch back to foo and merge it, and push it upstream

git checkout foo
git merge m
git branch -d m
git push

I wouldn't go as far as to say "the internet needs ads", but clearly if you're running an ad blocker, the sites you visit do need ads.

Ad blocking is textbook prisoner's dilemma. As long as it's only being done by a minority, it's no big deal - but if we all do it, we're fucked.
Adblock maintains a curated whitelist of approved, unobtrustive ads that most people don't mind seeing (text ads, etc). Last I heard, big companies wanting to submit their ads to the whitelist pay a fee, while small companies can have theirs added to the list for free - presumably this is justified based on the volume of ads that would be added to the list. There's a setting in the Adblock preferences to block even ads on the whitelist.

Some people make it out to be something sinister, potentially because "show unobtrustive ads" is on by default. Given that most people haven't even noticed that they're seeing these ads, I'm not convinced it's a big deal.
