The "why not" is implicit in my question, but I will rephrase if you prefer: why should content producers not be able to enjoy the economic benefit of their labor?

Your question is senseless. As a producer of Free/Libre works, I can assure you there's no impediment to enjoying such benefits (it's my whole income). But it's my job to figure out how to capture them, not society's, like in any other activity.

This rationalization is a pretty old one and it's just wrong. The economic value of the creation is absolutely being destroyed and thus the creator is being dispossessed of that value.

It's not being destroyed, it's simply remaining with the consumer instead of being transferred to the content creator.
Thanks for the response - there are some fair points here.

As other commenters pointed out, the fact that you charge by minute not hour does in fact make a big difference in price, particularly for those of us that need to run intensive but sporadic/short tasks.

A few question about your points that I am trying to find in documentation right now but perhaps you can save me the trouble if you happen to see this first:

> Domino makes it really easy to start and manage multiple runs in parallel (think a modern, easy-to-use cluster). If you're doing all this directly with AWS, you're quickly running into pain points managing all your instances and images.

How so? Does Domino allow you spin up more cores at will from R? That would be awesome.

> - Domino lets you deploy your analyses as self-service web UI tools, or deploy them to API endpoints. Doing this on your own would involve building an entire web stack around your analysis.

This is awesome and definitely useful if you are doing work for clients and do not want to be bothered with spending too much time building production grade stuff. In some sense is this like yhathq.com? (I understand you guys do more than they do in the sense you provide all these other features).
I'd be interested in an expansion of the server-side token storage step. Are there particular security-related concerns to look out for when transmitting the token, since the app is entirely client-side?
Agree, I merged one today: https://github.com/paulsamuels/SBConstants/pull/3
SRTM data is nearly useless for that purpose. I had a run at this exact application a few years ago and it was quite an exercise in frustration. The resolution of the data is adequate, but there are artifacts related to the way the data was collected and processed. There are discontinuous edges throughout the data. Also, of course, the data is not the elevation along a route. Bridges and other things over or under which one might ride a bicycle must be accounted for externally. Even roads in trenches or cuts need special attention.

I think the only way to make such an application work is to combine the elevation data of numerous sources, SRTM being just one. The most valuable source would be the ambient pressure sensors in mobile phones, which are next to useless for absolute altitude but are excellent for relative altitude as you move along a path, and of course they have GPS so you also know the path taken.
I'm curious about the "copyright" field. Do you return the original sources from where Watson learnt the information he is presenting? What are the major sources? Have you faced copyright or legal restrictions to access information and has this affected Watson's ability to answer questions in a certain area?
Similar machines have been in use for a long time to sign letters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopen : US presidents (and LDS presidents) have long been fond of them. Presumably extending their use to whole handwritten letters is newer.

It is far worse in the sense that it can lead to remote code execution. However, the number of vulnerable sites is far far fewer. Like Heartblead this one will likely have a very long tail of systems remaining vulnerable. My guess is we will see this vulnerability used to compromise big targets in the next few months.

> Most webservers put certain HTTP headers in environment variables.

I legitimately don't understand why they might do such a thing. Can you explain?
No. There are countless laws for landlords. e.g. if you rent it to someone, you can't kick them out whenever you want, you can't enter the property whenever you want.

Likewise, if you own a shop, you cannot refuse entry to your property based on race/ethnicity. You do not have an absolute right to do whatever you want with your property.

That said, speed is a much bigger issue in some markets (rentals in cities like Munich) and much less in others (buying a house out in a village).

I agree with a lot of what you say, but in reality you actually can legislate morality and change hearts and minds. It doesn't happen as fast as creating the legislation, but over time, hearing a message over and over, it becomes embedded and believed.

So while you may not change a particular person's mind, you stand a chance of changing their kid's mind. There was a time, not that long ago, in America where if you were Black and drank from the wrong water fountain our sat at the wrong spot in a restaurant, you would be killed by a mob.

Legislation about segregation changed that for the better. Probably not in those living in the day, but their kids and kid's kids.

minor nit: The statement "Linux containers are lightweight virtual machines" is not entirely accurate.

> I was planning to switch to Simple once I was able, but ended up staying with Capital One 360 since it's great. Oh yeah, another awesome feature you don't get anywhere else, that started with ING direct but capital one has kept it, is you can open an unlimited amount of savings accounts. It's really one savings account in the background, but they treat the amounts separately as if they are separate accounts, so from the front end it seems that they are. This is awesome for setting up savings goal, automatic savings deductions for various purposes (like quarterly tax estimates if you are self-employed), etc.

Simple also does this via their "Goals" feature. You set a goal amount and due date, and they move a daily amount from your displayed available balance into that goal.
In general, how do you determine what software is running on the server side? None of the obvious links are to .php documents and the headers only indicate nginx
Funnily enough, statistically men crash more than women too - but it's illegal to charge men more, because that would be gender discrimination.

In the EU this became illegal recently. It also applied to women, who live longer than men, so were being charged higher life assurance. It just shows how anti-sexism laws can, and do, benefit men.

They own it for sure. But I'm not sure they should be entitled to freely set the terms under which the public may interact with copies of the work once released. And they definitely shouldn't be entitled to abuse the justice system and call the big men with guns to trample through the door and ruin the life of someone who didn't play along with these insane terms.

By definition they may indeed be entitled, but I'm not sure their entitlement to people's wallet and liberty (which the producers don't own) is morally any more sound than the "consumer entitlement" to movies (which the consumers don't own).
Maybe it's because they have different goals?

The Nigerian-mail-fraud-scammer needs to get the gullible person to respond. If that's 1 out of 100,000 people, they need to do what they can just to get that 1 to respond. If 100 out of 100,000 respond, they have to sift through the "noise" of not-so-gullible people to find the true gullible one.

In this case, they just want to get you to open the letter and read the sales pitch (the goal isn't to find gullible people).
Backups don't keep your system somewhat running in the event of failure. And unless you run a full image backup, it takes much more time and effort to restore from a data-only backup than to simply do a direct copy off of a write-locked but perfectly readable drive.

The exploit is worse.

But I'm not sure how a scanner bot would find network accessible bashes to exploit. Seems like basically you need a cgi-bin with bash, and I don't think there's any way to predict a URL that is going to have such a thing.

Now, if there is some popular app that ends up vulnerable (perhaps because it shells out to bash), then that's definitely going to be huge.

But as it is... I'm not sure?
Although they removed that restriction in 2009, I believe that they re-restricted their banking to military affiliated persons as of a few months ago.

Feedback is very welcome.
This service is largely thanks to politicians banning opt-out overdraft fees on debit and ACH credit cards in 2010.

But thanks to that change, you can get basically the same service from a credit union for a one-time $5 membership fee. If you're over the $500/month deposit bar, you should definitely be using a credit union.

The whole idea of not offering checks except as the bank can issue them is a really good one though. I hope to see credit unions emulating that bit. (Just, not the $9/month fee, which is better than overdraft fees since it's predictable, but it's still exploitative since we're talking about people who are fundamentally bad at predicting their finances.)
Unfortunately, it's the people least qualified to assess the safety of using an always-changing version who are most likely to do so.

Ok, but why can't you offer your services any cheaper? How, specifically, is your service better than your competitors?

These are the answers that the letter attempts to provide.

I've also evaluated Heroku and the Ruppell's Sockets, so I can answer this from my point of view. The problem is that it's a workaround solution - all TCP traffic goes through an external server, which is unacceptable for any serious use case. How secure is that external server? What if it goes down? There isn't really anything that can be improved, other than Heroku natively supporting TCP sockets.

> At no time have the hosted jQuery libraries been compromised.

The problem isn't with the CDN. It was supposedly on jquery.com, so you would have had to visit that url directly.

That said, I don't disagree with the hash ID in case something there was a problem with the CDN.
Sure, but if you base your comfortableness with giving the access to your property to someone, not on their rental history, or credit info or interview, but on the fact that they are say, black, you are discriminating, and you are probably a racist.

Are you sure? On my machine, fullscreening, e.g., YouTube will:

- in FF, launch a new window, showing a fraction of the frame.

- in Chrome, replace the current window, showing a fraction of the frame.

In both cases, if I want to see the uncropped video, I have to manually switch to Full mode. I know there are hooks[0] to change this behavior to automatically launch a floating window (I don't use YouTube enough to bother), but I don't think there's a way to get the behavior GP described. Is there?

Not really. You could define some as basic services and deny discrimination on those. Much like e.g. some basic utilities are already prohibited from cutting off supply to debtors while most businesses can.

I'm not saying I agree with not legislating equal treatment, but the slippery slope is not inevitable.

> I was never able to try USAA despite hearing great things because no one I know was in the military.

You don't have to know someone who is in the military; you either have to be in the military or be directly related to someone who is a USAA member[0]. So if your grandfather served in the military and joined USAA, your father could become a member based on his relationship with your grandfather, and you could become a member because your father is a member.

This is how I was able to join. My grandfather was in the Navy and was a USAA member. My dad joined way back before I was born, and I joined when I was in high school.

At first, I just used their car insurance products. After college when my bank (Regions Bank) decided to start charging me all kinds of stupid fees, I switched my checking over to USAA. As time has gone on, I've moved almost all my financial products over to them. Several checking accounts, several savings accounts, a credit card, investments, etc.

They are, without a doubt, the best "bank" I've ever worked with.

There's only a few things left that I'm not with them on: my homeowner's insurance, which I'm about to move over to them after a nasty experience with Liberty Mutual, and my daughter's 529 college saving plan, because you only get the tax benefits in this state if you use the state's 529 program. I also have a Simple account, mostly because I wanted to check them out, but I almost never use it.

Why do you need handwriting if not to make people open the mail, who would have otherwise thrown it away?

And if they'd have thrown it away, how likely is it they'll change their mind after having been tricked into opening it because it appeared to have been sent by a human?

The point of junk mail is not to be read, it's to generate valuable/actionable leads; I don't see how handwriting helps -- maybe it does, but we would need to see ultimate conversion rates (not just rates of initial inquiries for example).
That isn't irony.

There seems to be a tendency in the nodejs community to try and use it in any and every situation, regardless of how suitable it is for that situation.
