> If you're using a free license, that license says it's everyone's project, not just yours.

Maybe, but the lead developer is the one in charge of the software. If the community doesn't like it, they can request a change in leadership or fork the project.

> So if two people want to take "your" free software and enter an economic agreement to improve "your" free software in a way that benefits both of them, why should you have a right to say "no"?

For all the reasons mentioned above (forward-planning, insight, etc.). If someone wishes to make a change to a project, in such a way that benefits them, the project itself is never required to just accept the changes. That someone can fork the project.

Is that always the right answer? No. But it is one possibility.

> The licensing is a sideshow.

No, it is fundamental to why bountysource can even possibly exist, as well as companies like Red Hat or Collabora. We built a system of free licenses since the late 80's that allow this kind of business. If you don't want to allow this sort of business, you need a different license. No Microsoft employee can possibly use bountysource to fund a project to improve Excel, not even if they wanted to. The license terms don't allow it.

> Just inverting the order of those makes it seem pretty silly:

I'm not sure I see the problem here. I suppose you object to the meaning of "claim" not being the same as "cash out"? That does seem a bit problematic.
It is a much worse evil to have software developers who would write free software given the fiscal means to, when those means are available through others, but are not exploited, and they end up either writing proprietary software to eat or not writing software at all.

I commend tip4commit and bountysource and its ilk, not because individually they are ethical or moral about it, but because it is attempting to solve a real problem in the community, and someone is bound to get it right.
If it's not profitable for a company such as Verizon, isn't that another argument towards classifying broadband as a utility and setting up service providers through a munincipal partnership where profit isn't the goal?
Over-provisioning is normal in enterprise SSD. They use extra capacity for re-packing blocks (i.e. garbage-collecting partially erased blocks) and to account for blocks wearing out from use.
That's why you tie the powers granted to police to the camera. No camera, no extra powers. Ideally, the camrea is simply a built-in part of the badge.

Edge cases and any Hollywood movie-plot contrivance can be easily solved by cheap backup batteries and backup cameras, as this kind of technology is inexpensive. The very-rare and unusual situation where an officer has some legitimate reason for a camera failure, the officer can be given the benefit of the doubt an should not be prosecuted for what was clearly not his fault... if-and-only-if the incentive to cause8 that situation is removed as well: we also mandate that "no camera" means no evidence in court*

To put it another way, we simply place the court's trust in the witness less likely to be in error: the camera. Without that recording, the officer's testimony should be considered hearsay. This will, of course, make it harder to prosecute in a few rare and unusual cases. That difficulty is the entire goal, as an application of the principle that it better to let the guilty go free than prosecute an innocent person.
Yes?

The point of applied mathematics is to understand if the same driving forces which cause clothing trends also govern other human behaviors, and to extract out these commonalities (or what is "really important" about the events) to study in the abstract, as a mechanism free of context, so we can enhance our ability to understand these situations (as well as other situations with similar behaviors) and make accurate predictions of the future.

That's the very basis of applied mathematics.

Nor should fashion be discounted as a trivial human endeavor: it acts in several capacities, from providing some safety from the elements to appealing to our sense of aesthetics to behaving as social signaling mechanism. Understanding how humans deal with the confluence of these competing forces is hardly a trivial area of research in to human behavior.

I'm curious, what exactly you're intending with a clearly out of context quote, seemingly trying to slight the study of fashion with it.

Whoa. Let's be clear: I am not an apologist for anything, and I do not appreciate the ad hominem at all.

I am, on the other hand, capable of realizing that police officers do have a dangerous job (by definition, actually), and that it is their right to protect themselves and their fellow officers, as well as our fellow citizens.

I am not excusing any sort of unjust death or brutality, but nobody was brutalized here. I watched the video just like you. Yes, they gave him a hard time for not knowing his social security number; that could have been handled better. But that's it.

As for who defines whether he is or isn't a good kid: that's just my point, it is /not/ the booking officer. That is, the booking officer has no idea whether Aaron was just brought in for a stolen bicycle as a suspect, or whether he had been seen beating a helpless old man with his own cane. Nobody defines it for the officer, I am simply stating the obvious: Aaron was a good kid, but it is entirely possible that a worse kid could have been brought in, with worse intentions, and the officers who were booking him would have been none the wiser.

I am curious how much control Netflix has over issues like this. i.e. Do they have carte blanche to alter the content that their providers give them, or are they contractually (or otherwise) obligated to rely on their content providers to correct issues with the content.
'It's a little discouraging that "claiming a bounty" only means you can use it on Bountysource'

They've got to take their cut at some point. I think forgoing it when the funds are re-used in the system is strictly a positive thing - yes, it benefits them, but it also benefits projects and developers. I don't disagree that the above could be phrased better, but I actually don't have strong objection to the existing language. The act that incurs the fee is withdrawing, not claiming.

Is there a LAN chat app?
It has been bugging me (especially post-Snowden) that we use the internet for everything, even if the person we interact with is in the next room.

I recently found Dukto to send files from one computer to another in the local network.

I was wondering if there is a (OS independent) chat application for LAN. It would be so cool to have all people in the same network in a bar/cafe/uni to communicate with another (yes, you'd need a block function (based on MAC-address?)).

Does something like this exist?
so bringing it back to the brain, does this suggest that certain cases of epilepsy are due to neuron signalling delays relative to non-epileptic brains? if so.. that certainly is interesting. It may explain why some epileptics "grow out" of it, as their neurons build new connections, and signal delays get lower.
I recently bought some FPAAs from Anadigm, specifically the 3.3V version: AN231E04-E2-QFNSP

Interestingly they use a switched-capacitor design, which means you can only input signals lower than the clock frequency used for switching the caps.

I had a look for continuous-time FPAAs but couldn't find any.

My goal is simply to make a guitar FX pedal with them, as they can alter gain, perform filtering such band-pass etc.

Potentially I could see it having lower latency than DSP, if anyone knows more about that, I'd be very curious.
I'd say one of the lessons is that even a supposedly well-standardised system sees hundreds of implementations (or more!) then the accumulated bug baggage can still make it hacky with per-platform code. For comparison consider web browsers, which although are far better these days than they used to be, between just Chrome, Firefox, IE and Safari there's a bunch of quirks and platform-specifics, so I can imagine worldwide TCP deployments are "interesting".

Where possible hacks should be applied only where necessary, e.g. the specific software versions affected only, and exclude fixed versions. Then hopefully in the long run the old buggy versions die out and the hack can be removed... but as the article says, over a network it's not always possible to identify when to apply a hack.
The problem is that people who create startups tend to be highly analytical, logical, rational, intelligent in many facets with the perspective that their startup is their whole world and the whole world falls apart if their startup falls apart.

They are not the kind that can be helped by mental health care professionals in a traditional sense. Given the objective outcome, a mental health care professional can either reshape your world view (which I don't desire, because it's a ridiculous vocabulary I don't care to study again) or we can argue back and forth on theories about the human psyche, philosophize about various shared characteristics, and hope that somehow, abstractly, beneath this communication, lays something useful for the startup, code, math, logic, and so on.

The startup, the knowledge, the extending beyond the boundary of humanity TODAY is the goal. If you are completely alone in your life, then a health care professional can tell you objectively whether you are showering daily enough or not. They can not help you do research or build something new. Otherwise, I like the idea of having other people who have been through similar things to talk to.

It may even be possible that the person who created this is probably looking for a way to deal with their depression. People here are looking for perfectly unique solutions to perfectly unique problems. That's a difficult kind of depression to treat, if not impossible, theoretically, and I would say it runs a high risk of increasing the depression, unless the therapist happens to be one of these types themselves.

>The current trend is rooted in the fact that computer displays approach the visual fidelity of paper prints by now (> 300dpi)

My impression (I'm not expert) is that the trend is rooted in the opposite - the crappy displays of cheap phones. The old fancy graphics of say Windows 7 could not render quickly or at all on cheap phones so with the advent of responsive design companies used flat design so the same graphics could be used on all devices including cheap phones.

I get the technical issue but I still find it a bit ugly.

Your reply about the license doesn't address the point I made in the next paragraph, that legalistic shenanigans probably aren't going to end up helping any project.

For "claim" vs "cash out", yes, I was thinking the distinction is rather artificial.
I'm pretty well aware of how to use RDBMSes. I even implemented RDBMS engines before. In this case, nobody is writing into a file, so mmap should have been a perfect solution.
In this case, the whole "hipsters" angle was just a cute hook to make the paper more interesting. In reality, it's a neat model of many different dynamic system and a useful mathematical abstraction in and of itself. Even if we didn't have an immediate application now, it would be useful as math and clearly increase the "sum of human knowledge". It's impossible to predict exactly where this idea will lead in the future, whether interesting applications or more math, so it's worth working on just speculatively.

Of course, in this case, it also has an immediate application in neuroscience, which is useful in a visceral sort of way that's easier to appreciate.
Now use it to predict a trend: Bam, you're now in economics, you've just figured out what the next group of ten million people will be wearing and doing and you've employed tens of thousands of people to make that happen.

That's a lot of families suddenly being fed and clothed so other people can exercise their compulsive need to belong to a group.

Another one to compare it to is Atlassian Stash. It's not as full featured as GitHub but integrates really well with JIRA and Bamboo. It even has some features that GitHub doesn't, like ACLs on branches. It's significantly less expensive that GHE.

Currently, my startup is using GitLab. It does the job for the 16 or so developers we have. It has issue tracking, wiki, web hooks, merge requests. Pretty much all the same features as GitHub, but not as clean or pretty.
As a nerd, I also had problems finding "normal" friends. Not anymore.

No, you need that 80k to argue that Groupon's proposed product would infringe your trademark.

US trademarks are only good for the line of business I'm in. If I were to publish a software product called Mustang, for example, Ford wouldn't be able to sue me for copyright infringement. My product shares a trademark with one of theirs, but it's in a different enough market that the two trademarks don't conflict with each other.

It sounds like Groupon's proposed product is point of sale hardware. That's different enough from a desktop window manager that Groupon can quite possibly get a lawyer to convince a jury that they're different businesses. Therefore GNOME Foundation has to pay a lawyer to stand up and argue the other side of the case.

> They are the gatekeepers to their own projects contributions

The point that bountysource is making is that the contributions don't always necessarily go to the project. There are individual drive-by bounty hunters who are unaffiliated with the project. I don't see a reason to discourage that, and I don't see a reason to pressure the project into accepting these drive-by bounty hunters either. I don't think anyone else is, either.
They are the gatekeepers to their own project's contributions, but one way to look at it is that the result of a bounty is a potential contribution available to their project but also available to anyone who wants to fork (either publicly or privately) which makes the new project their code (in the sense that is relevant here - control over content of the code base).

Yeah, but I thought we were talking about RAM vs SSDs. The problem there is not that SSDs are too big physically or that the cable is not short enough.
I certainly can't do it in a rigorous, scientific manner. However, my line of thinking is as follows. Persons with antisocial personality diaorder ( a correct term) fail to exhibit guilt, empathy or admit the responsibility for their actions among other factors. That is consistent with general, averaged cop behavior in US and existence of blue wall of silence that effectively prohibits making those accountable for multiple transgressions accountable.

But yeah, I was too irritated by apologists and didn't use enough guarding. I'll admit that I have no proof of "most" police officers being psychopathic. I am sure many of them are, though.

That's because at its heart, libertarianism started with a number of good ideas. It was more or less born as American political scientists et all learned about the limits of governmental regulation, regulatory capture, and the limits and downsides of the American system of labor union negotiation and membership, and attempted to find a better alternative.

I think the problem, and this is just a personal theory, is that many libertarian ideas need to come in duplets or triplets to be effective. Take carbon emissions for a quick (and not completely accurate) example. I've had conversations with libertarians that have argued that carbon emissions should not be fined, capped, traded, or in any way regulated. Basically, when the people care enough about the environment, they will vote effectively with their dollars.

Crazily enough, this could actually work, but it needs help. Either carbon emissions would have to be valued (so that companies had to pay to emit carbon, most likely via a tax), or all products would be required to state how much carbon was emitted in that item's production, as well as educated as to what that meant, so they could make an informed decision.

In reality, the first idea will be picked up and heavily trumpeted by the energy industry (no government taxation!), but the follow up ideas will be completely ignored or torpedoed. As a result, you end up with the type of modern American Libertarianism you describe. The more this sort of selective trumpeting occurs, the more self-describing libertarians will self-select membership, and the more radical the group may become.

That nolan chart is a great example. When I first saw it, it was and still is a great way of introducing people to various types of political theories. But the example you linked is horrendous. The questions underneath the economic freedom section are incredibly misleading, and the result of decades of selective trumpeting. They are NOT the same questions I was shown when I was originally shown the nolan chart all those years ago.
The moral decision is made by the person who released on their floor a semi-autonomous machine that cannot make moral choices. Calling this "robot morality" is idiotic, akin to saying that because an ax will indifferently cut a log or a human neck, it decides that cutting one is morally equivalent to the other.

It's still way too slow to be treated as RAM. The performance they quote is equivalent to a mid to lower range PCIe SSD.

For comparison, the stated read performance is 800MB/sec or so. Last time I checked - on ca. 8 year old hardware, we could read files from a RAM disk under Linux at a rate of about 6GB/sec. That's with the added overhead of the benchmark software running and going through a filesystem.

Well, I certainly think it warrants clarity as to who is responsible for issues. That needn't take the form of "a new name" though, I agree.
Very interesting indeed. Is your thesis published?

Btw., have you considered using a uniform memory architecture (e.g., Intel HD, or an embedded GPU)?
