Surely, a formal license or public-domain-dedication (such as 'CC0') would be better – and perhaps especially better for the author, who could then clearly disclaim other implied warranties.

But the "disclaims copyright" language probably has some legal value, in many jurisdictions. It might be interpreted as a public-domain dedication, where those have meaning. Or, as a promise which was relied upon, preventing a later copyright-enforcement claim by estoppel doctrines.

A lawyer could say, and of course the advantage of existing licenses/dedications is that they've already been legally reviewed for clarity across many jurisdictions. But this sort of overt declaration may still protect many re-users if push ever came to legal shove. And it might even be useful to establish such a precedent – that sharing is safe with only such a small, clear, plain, blanket statement.
amazing two thoughts pop onto my head

do you think the same technique can be used to reproduce damaged optical nerves ? this could be a huge step towards curing a huge percentage of blindness, something Ive been very personally interested in lately.

am I the only one who wonders why the slow pace of such crucial medical discoveries ? after a successful attempt, the future plan is treating only 10 more patients over the next 'years'. In Silicon valley timezone thats centuries, my non-medical tech corrupt mind is screaming pump money, replicate this to 100 patients in the next 60 days and scale, scale, scale!!!
Is using VPN a good solution to have a network level encryption ?

Most likely the fear of any unknown side effects that haven't manifested just yet, and the ability to refine whatever procedure was performed to try and minimise any of the long term downsides to this approach?

An employer making employees pay for a plan to use cell phone minutes in a non-incidental way is amazing; I don't know how that can stem from any place but fuck you, I've got mine. Though Amazon is claiming they shouldn't have to pay employees for waiting in line for security checks, for up to a claimed 30 minutes [1].

edit: I recalled a situation at a previous employer for an ops person who had significant work usage of his cell phone; our employer didn't want to pay for it. I'm not sure how that got resolved. Though this employer had pictures of naked women as part of the interview process so, you know, all class. (I didn't get that for my screen, but others did.)

Price before lunch = x

Price after lunch = y

Chickens sold before lunch for each farmer respectively (ace)

Chickens sold after lunch for each farmer respectively (bdf)

Solve these six equations:

Farmer 1:

35 = x*a + y*b

a + b = 10

Farmer 2:

35 = x*c + y*d

c + d = 16

Farmer 3:

35 = x*e + x*f

e + f = 26

If we assume they sold the same amount of chickens before lunch as the price was the same, then a = c = e. This reduces it to 6 equations for 6 variables.
Well we have computers now...
R&D so they can produce innovative technology as well as design - Apple's R&D spending is well below the industry average, and they've got no equivalent to Xerox Parc or Google Labs.

Acquisitions, where they make sense - take on products that have good tech but need to be shepherded by a large corporation to become something the wider population can benefit from.

Dividends for investors, so that they can judge for themselves whether they want to hold cash for safety or something riskier.

I've been running a similar setup for a few months, feeding data to http://www.flightradar24.com/. If you upload data to them like this then you get premium access to their site and app which is nice.
In fact I found that using the site was easier than accessing my own data on the pi so I haven't really used planeplotter etc.

I found that I can pick up a lot of planes even with the stubby antenna that came with the DVB stick. But I'm pretty close to the Heathrow flight path which gives me a slight advantage!

The dump1090 process uses 30-40% CPU on my pi so I start it up with nice -n+19. And it does seem to crash quite often so I've got something to check and restart it.

On a quick look through ps's manpage I couldn't find anything about this. Am I missing something?
Reporting that relates this directly to economics reads like a musing on some esoteric philosophy. It's economists' own fault, presenting their profession as a collection of mathematical models, the science of politics and history. Saying things like 'boost efficiency and competitiveness' sounds like a conversational reference to variables in an equation.

The driving force behind economic growth over a measurable period of time (not quarters, or even years) is technology, in a wider sense of the word. Companies are an invention. Political structures and the stability or instability they cause is invention. Money itself was invented.

China was economically suppressed for a long time. When they found their formula for industrialization they had a lot of catching up to do. Planting techniques that increased yield. Manufacturing techniques producing more. They spent 2 generations catching up. Catching up is a matter of applying existing technologies. When they created the weaving room of the world, industrial strength looms had existed for a long time.

The reality is the growth at that end of the spectrum is fast. Growth nearer the recent invention end is slower, because invention and proliferation of technologies are intertwined. That's the main story here. China is approaching the point where they economic growth depends on technological advancement. Things need inventing. That's slower.

Looking at this at the resolution of months, it seems that central bank policies are the engine of advancement. Financing, consumer appetites.. This is nonsense. Imagine the output of a country like Germany doubling or tripling of more over generations. That's what x% annual growth means. They will need to learn to make more with the same number of people. That can only happen because of technology.

So, that's the default prediction. China's long term economic growth rate will slow to the rate of technological advancement, mitigated in the short term by politicized maneuvering. They are increasingly contributing to technology though so maybe they can move the world's output by a couple of ticks.

> Well then people are going to be even more pd when we finally cut support for people running hardware that doesn't support anything better than GL 1.x. At some point you have to make the hard decision to stop supporting hardware that is anemic by the standards of 3-4 years ago, let alone today, and quite frankly I don't feel that Minecraft should have to bear a burden of technical debt and a lack of forward progress in the code base just because a handful of people are unable or unwilling to upgrade their machines.

That's a sucky attitude towards early adopters. Especially since most Minecraft players are young and don't get to control which machines they use.

Especially when you combine it with Intel bugs in graphics drivers that cause Minecraft to crash on opening - this can happen on reasonably powerful laptops.

If you assume that then I think you find the after-lunch price is 0, which is unrealistic. There are other solutions, and your task is to find one that's reasonable.
You may not have issue with the sort of things you use it for, but others might.

For example, I run shells in Emacs and have had to tweak loads of shell scripts written by colleagues to fix their poorly-implemented colourisation. It's useful to know when a test has failed; it's not so useful to have the whole terminal set to white text on a pale pink background.

One day I couldn't SSH into our servers from Emacs. It turned out somebody had edited .bashrc for the admin user to make the bash prompt blue. Emacs' TRAMP process was looking for a prompt ending in "$" or "#", not "$\[\033[0m\]", so it didn't realise the connections were successful.

There are two ways of handling this: we can blame the source of the bug (the person adding the colours incorrectly, or the assumption-loaded TRAMP regex), but there will always be more bugs in situations we'd never think of. Alternatively, we can avoid being 'too clever', and instead aim for consistency and least surprise.

He's been doing this since the 70s. When I broke my back 10 years ago there was another panarama in which he'd shown dramatic improvement in rats.

He's only got round to spinal injury's now because its something occasionally improves without aid and is therefore unreliably for scientific tests. He was looking at other types of injury (I can't remember the name) where the nerves to the arm are torn out, as this never shows any signs of recovery.

He's now moved on to knife wounds as these offer the cleanest types of complete break ie very unlikely to improve later.

Raisman has been thorough and methodical about this. Its his life's work and I have no doubt he'll succeed

Since this puzzle has a definitive answer, it is solvable by simply iterating from 1 to 10 for the number of chickens sold by the 1st farmer and then seeing which quantity can yield integer quantities for other farmers. And since it's for kids and the number is 10 and I would guess it's the way this puzzle was meant to be solved (in the Math Circle).

How to solve it or to even determine it's uniquely solvable for arbitrary set of 10, 16, 26 and 35 - I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's doable and has to do with the groups :)
Let me rewrite that for you:

It's in the intersection of linear algebra and number theory, and knownm to be difficult. In effect it's a Diophantine equation, and most problems in that field have no generic techniques to solve them. I think Integer Programming is known to be NP-Hard, but I can't check that from here.

So no, there is no general technique apart from ingenuity, clever guesswork, and trial and error.

There's that famous rule of thumb: if it sounds too good to be true, then maybe it is. Lockheed Martin's cheap, compact fusion reactor does sound too good to be true. Then again, if it works, that's enormous. And the massive, expensive ITER can't possibly have the same kind of impact on our energy. I want Lockheed Martin to be correct.

But are they? If this approach has been tried before without success, and no fusion scientist considers this likely to work, then I wonder why Lockheed is even trying this. On the one hand I think Lockheed must be on to something. On the other hand, if they don't have any good data to share (or are unwilling to share it), then why are they going public with this at all? If it makes sense to keep it secret because it's a secret, commercial, profit driven project, then why not just keep it secret?

Why seek publicity when they don't want to share anything real? Is the share price down? Do they need extra funding?

Why do they always make these experimental child-driven schools for the "bad" children? The truants, and the misbehaved.

Why not try it for the "best" children? Those who have a real desire and ability to learn, but don't necessarily fit in in a regular school.

Provide classes, and let the child decide which to go to.

Give exams, but don't record the grade - just give it to the child so they know how they are doing.

I think you're missing the point of the article. Your "my life as a rich foreigner in China" comment doesn't really address of the concerns Larry Summer had about China's future, and in fact it doesn't even seem to be particularly negative about the country (it's mostly drawing comparisons to other nations who rapidly developed in recent history), so I think you're being a bit defensive.
well that and Lockheed's proposal doesn't involve the tens of billions of dollars the other more headline grabbing one does, hence it can't be good, can it?

The issue I see is this, no one has done it yet, produce sustainable fusion power so I say, let them all try their theories and we all benefit. If Lockheed's experiment is fractionally as expensive as the big guys on the street then why not. Governments sure piss away enough as it is on lesser adventures.

Unnamed objects are not normally used for sharing. Naming an object is generally only done so that it can be accessed from other processes. The Windows idiom is to use a name when sharing, and don't use a name when not sharing.

I would have named these shared memory objects as a matter of course, knowing their design and purpose. That unnamed ones don't support a DACL is an interesting bit of trivia, but not much more than that. It seems more a case of non-idiomatic code.

(PS: I should be more clear here. Without using DuplicateHandle, you can't open an unnamed object, because you can't address it. It's secured by the guy who calls DuplicateHandle being in control of who he hands it off to.)
