If artists want to control their creations forever, they can lock their stuff up in a vault and be cremated with them.

If they want to be immortalized as a contributor to the common culture, they will have to relinquish control sooner or later.

Otherwise, your creation loses relevance and fades away. Extant copies deteriorate. Collectors lose interest. Your work moves from the paragraph body to the footnotes. Artwork requires a continuous investment of creative energy, otherwise it is replaced by the work of other artists. Museums keep works on display, and encourage patrons to enjoy them as frequently as they are able. Corporations produce series sequels and souvenir merchandise. Artists cross-license their work to creators that work in different media, such as book authors optioning movie rights to film studios.

Works in the public domain get remixed into more contemporary works. Characters like Captain Nemo, Dorothy Gale, and Alice (in Wonderland) will never die because anyone who cares to do so can refresh and update their image in the zeitgeist.

Take the Norse deity Thor. Would the typical person outside of the Germanic and Scandinavian countries know anything about him if he were not included in non-original stories and artworks, like jewelry, altar carvings, and the eddas? Would anyone care if Marvel did not adopt him into its comic pantheon? Will he enjoy being a woman as much as his adopted brother?

The common culture evolves continuously. The laws are in place to encourage participation by folks who would not otherwise be able to expend the effort without compensation. They are not there to wall everything off and put locked gates everywhere. At some point, we need to be able to remember our childhood without paying someone a licensing fee.

INIZ acquired by Zeniva Limited
Got an email about it this morning.

I'm not sure if it's about to change dramatically (the email says no, but I've heard that story before), but it was/is an awesome service, congrats to the team there on the acquisition -- glad to see small players in the market and have some choice.
Transducers are a different kind of thing, not just a generalized usage of enumerable functions.

Clojure transducers are isomorphic to functions of type `a -> [b]`, that is, functions which take some thing and return lists of other things. You can implement map and filter in this language:

tmap f a = [f a]
tfilter p a = if p a then [a] else []

You can also compose two such functions:

concat :: [[x]] -> [x]
concat [] = []
concat (x : xs) = x ++ concat xs

concatMap f list = concat (map f list)

compose lb_a lc_b = \a -> concatMap lc_b (lb_a a)

One reduction function (`foldr`) turns out to just be the identity function [a] -> [a], as I recall.

The interesting thing about Clojure transformers is that they have a strange continuation-passing form, such that this function `compose` that I wrote above for the type `a -> [b]` is actually in Clojure just a function composition. That is, instead of `a -> [b]` we see `forall r. (b -> r -> r) -> (a -> r -> r)`, which composes with normal function composition.
I think this is a commendable way of forward thinking, but I help but to laugh a little a bit when I read this:

"When we think she’s mature enough [...], we’ll hand her an envelope with her master password inside."

Which probably means about 1-2 years after she has already created her own accounts on whatever social network/apps she wants to join (and on her own terms) ;)
Your website is really nice, I love the canvas. :)

Aren't you agreeing with me then? Let's use a real world example: Flappy Bird. It was the author's right to take down his creation from the App Store and he did. He owned that. People are still using it (he can't remove it from their devices) and as long as one copy exists outside of his hand's people can infringe on his right:

They can directly point to Comcast as the problem. They can lobby lawmakers just as Comcast can. In my opinion, this is going to be a problem for them, and any of these content providers have way stronger voices than a single customer.

New to this entire brouhaha, but I'm concerned because my entire production stack runs on Linux. At some point devops is not going to be able to do things the old way.

Is there a link where one can read about the rationale of why systemd was needed? Perhaps by the person who started off the initial project?
You don't need Dropbox, just a Linux box and some rsync scripts. $7 is approximately 5 minutes worth of income for a lot of people on here...so if it takes longer than that per month to set up and maintain your solution then it's not a good deal.

ah so you're saying that systemd is flexible because it was chosen for a distro where it has very limited remit? so you mean it wasn't some horrible octopus which tried to suck all of coreos into it before they rejected its entanglements?
Sad news. I'm not sure what their next business step will be, or if this is it, but I really do hope they open source anything they decide won't be a part of their future products.
Conspiracy: a group of people working in secret to commit a crime.

I wonder if CIA personnel are actually forbidden from reading or possessing some of the Snowdrn related books. If they contained any leaked classified material, that would be a violation for anyone possessing a security clearance.
> What is antiquated about the idea that you don't get to use other peoples' valuable content without paying for it?

Slingbox allows you to stream broadcast content without problems. Broadcasters are OK with that. So Aereo was basically renting out 1000s of little slingboxes; how's that a problem now?
Replace "engineers" with "the people who actually do the real work" and your complaint goes away.
This is interesting, although the editorial comments are not particularly surprising given the source. e.g.:

"Throughout this chapter and the next, 'The Harm of Surveillance,' Greenwald emphasizes the coincidence of his judgments and values with those of Snowden. He also links Snowden’s upbringing and checkered employment history as justification for his decision to proceed as he did rather than follow official whistle-blower procedures."

Snowden's stated reasons for not going through official channels, and Greenwald's reporting of this, were based upon the NSA's prior treatment of whistleblowers, specifically William Benney and Thomas Drake[1]. The surveillance agencies believe that all information collection is desirable, justified and, because of the public's ignorance of the threats posed, necessarily secret. Like most organizations, insiders who push for changes are met with varying degrees of resistance.

It doesn't matter if they are web apps or other apps. They are separate, and because of this, shitty.

Edit: Itunes for music was massively dominant because it has everything. Separate stores for every single music publisher would be ridiculous. The same goes for other media.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8641839 is a much needed response to this discussion.
But the problems won't be fixed because fixing them would break most JavaScript programs. TC39 is not going to split [] from property access, or (or planning to, afaik) make undefined property access throw, or make method tear-offs have a lexically bound 'this' by default, or seal all objects by default, or fix for loop variable bindings, or remove == in favor of ===, or remove the type coercions, add .==/.equals and .hashCode() to all objects, allow any object to be Map keys, etc.

Dart does way more than adding types. If ECMAScript changed all of that (and much more), it'd be a different language. It'd be Dart :)
Seconding this.

Pulseaudio still won't detect the headphone jack on my old intel board, and Skype on my newer machines on Linux will routinely fuckup playback.

One also wonders how much of the PA cleanup was handled by people that weren't Lennart.
So Aereo was screwed because _cable_ companies decided to overpay? Can you imagine if you bought a car, and then the dealership comes back to you for more money because your neighbor paid much more for the same model?
It belies the attitude of the typical intelligence official that they believe an education is something that is finished and then you learn no more.

This was solved in the same way that assembly languages are touring complete. It's true, but it's not useful. You need a compiler to output those meaningless numbers. What happens when you install something after booting? Who starts it? On a long running system those files are useless. Which ones have you run? Are they idempotent? Systemd attempts to solve all of these problems and more.

My point is that you don't need the Dart VM for Dart to be a great choice, which means that the lack of the VM in other browsers shouldn't be a problem.

> emacs has plenty of modes ….

This is not the sense in which vim is called a modal editor—at least, I think of it as meaningfully different. In different Emacs major modes, for example, the tab key might create different indentations; but, in different vim modes, the 'x' key might remove a character (in normal mode) or insert an 'x' character (in insert mode).

I think of the statement "vim is a modal editor" as "vim replaced key chords with mode toggles"—a different editor would replace "press 'x' in normal mode" by something like "press 'M-x'."

Again, I am certainly aware that Emacs modes can do much more than just offer context-sensitive indentation, but my impression (as a non-Emacs-er) is that they are usually meant to offer subtle customisation rather than full-scale re-engineering of the editor.
I think that's right. Its about the similarity of Aero to any other cable company, who also use antennae to distribute media. Its about where we're at and taking small steps. So maybe it seems odd from close up (why does it matter if I rent/own the receiver?), it makes whatever sense it makes from a bigger view - the state of the current industry of cable and broadcast.
Now you are talking about obscurity, not security. In my opinion.
It's necessary to understand that desktop linux has been total shit always, and this has caused incredible pain over the years to people who, against all reason, continue to try to use it. It turns out the bazaar can't create a polished user-friendly product, period.

Nevertheless, Red Hat and Canonical and others continue to try to foster desktop linux, on the now-obvious misguided theory that (a) the desktop matters and (b) they can take share from windows and osx installations.

As a result, there's hundreds of terrible paid desktop programmers, and thousands of their users, who are dying every day because, e.g., the last several iterations of wireless networking scripts were written by morons, their graphics libraries are comically bad, etc., etc.

Into this charged mix of total incompetence and frustration comes a small group of mediocre coders with hubris, backing, and political nous. And what they are promising to the long-abused desktop users sounds amazing to them, like wizardly magic, and literally, and almost entirely, boils down to this: freedom from having to deal with the shitty wireless networking script system. No joke. That is the fundamental issue at play, and the driver behind "faster boot times", "socket activation", and all of the other marketing points. If that idiot who wrote the wireless provisioning scripts had been competent, this entire mess would never have happened.

So the desktop linux users and desktop linux developers, who again have been living in a tiny cage being pooped on every day by their own regrettable choices, reach for this solution with the religious fervor of a drowning victim. And since desktop linux developers tend to be the C team, they don't care about good architecture, they just want things to work for them and their very specific desktop linux use case, which objectively and axiomatically, again, has not worked for decades and will never work.

So they band together in unison, following the exciting, energetic, charismatic and opinionated lead developer. And obviously, Red Hat is delighted, because that's their employee, and maybe they get more market share. And they pack Debian with developers, because there's a ton of horrible little desktop linux apps that grant them votes, and shout down the opposition. And they set up an IRC channel, and they brigade every forum with the same nonsensical attacks on the very architecture that made it possible for the internet to happen in the first place. Including, obviously, this very thread.

In actuality, this group of users is vanishingly tiny compared with the linux installed base, which is mostly phones and servers, where the real action is, and which don't need this halfassed dbus nonsense or the accreting blob of carelessly rewritten known-good-daemons. The desktop linux people are chasing a dead target with a terrible design and religious fervor substituted for technical ability. It will be intriguing to watch it play out. FreeBSD is about to get a big positive jolt of people that know what 'good' is.

- "my entire production..." you're a devops engineer?
- "link where one can read about the rational.." with good grammar?
- "why systemd was needed... " ok you lost me there
- "the person who started off the initial project?" and you've been hidden under a rock for the past 10 years??

http://0pointer.net/blog/ - is his blog

are you seriously trying to tell me that someone is going to have to explain what a "container" is by comparing with chroots? :D how have you been running your production stack all these years if you didn't have an internet connection under your rock :)
You cant swim in the same river twice.

No one can ever experience the original, because the context of everyone's experience has changed. Would your perception of Lord of the Rings be the same before and after reading Wheel of Time or Game of Thrones? Would it even be the same before and after the France-U.S.-Vietnam War? Would it have been the same if written before World War 2?

When a work is created, the intention of the artist is fixed, but as artwork, it is continuously shaped by the perceptions of its audience. Art holds a mirror up to life, and that evolves.

So experiencing the original is quite impossible now. People who did experience the original have already gone on to reshape the culture with their own works, and we cannot, for instance, un-see the Peter Jackson films based on the books.
most of the time it's extremely hard to just go open source when a startup dies. There's issues of ownership and also the amount of work needed to get a typical startup codebase clean, refactored and open source ready is difficult. It's kinda like having a garage sale and giving everything away - it's hard to give away or sell every single thing, but parts of it might be useful to the community.
Nah, they're pretty much right.

As for testing--notice that when a lot of people here are reporting issues with systemd/pulseaudio, their reports are pretty much dismissed out of hand, or they're told "no, you've done something wrong".

For #2, a lot of times somebody with the right political position (say, Lennart at Redhat) or just the ability to shout louder and longer than anyone else will get something put in, regardless of technical advantage. Don't even try to claim otherwise.
Hangon - I thought a module was a separate namespace; and a way of partitioning programs into files. Can you be more specific in your criticisms?
Up to this day, while libpulse0 is required by some package, I have no pulsed running. Everything is using alsa directly, and I'm using jack for audio work. The impact of pulseaudio is way lower than systemd, and never actually impacted anyone producing music that have no reason to use use a pulseaudio sink. Notably, the audio layer is (in)famous to be able to route anything through anything. Contrast to systemd, where sysadmins actually have now limited choice to many parts of the system (not only init!).
Your pulseaudio example is naive, because this: pulseaudio broke audio for many professionals who were already using JACK and ALSA. This is why the upheaval is criticized.. Whats being done to improve things caters only to a low common denominator; it doesn't push the state of the art forward.
I'm happy to figure out shipping to other countries! Anywhere specific?
Try using it with JACK and setting up a DAW.. then you'll see the pain.

Lets assume for the sake of argument that logind (a new codebase) is about as stable as syslog (anyone of which are several years old, well tested). Layering one on top of the other, you now have doubled the chance of one of them going belly up.

I developed and marketed my own embedded Linux products. It would have been difficult to do some of the customizations I did if the kernel, DHCP server, logging system, HAL/udev, etc. were all adapted to the one systemd way of doing things with dbus.

Hm, I don't see any reference to an exploit that's being used. What versions of Android does this affect? It says 2012, so this could very well have been eradicated.
Not only that, but the script is useless.

All it does is bullshit of 100 lines or so, but the main part of what it does is

How difficult would those instructions be? Here take a tarball, and you know, unpack it and run install.sh

I guess, too difficult for the audience that Rust developers are targeting with this curl this | sudo bash bullshit.

Is your multisig compatible with other multisig solutions (Copay, Armory ...)? If yes, to what degree? Are there any standards for multisig?

Honestly, there shouldn't be any rush to do anything. You released some good tools, and that's fine.
I've only played, but a few hours into it I wanted to partition up my project into separate places in order to separate concerns . I found modules to be a good way to do that once I realised that it's Pascal/modular 2 / ada again and not objects. I think that the problem may be that people are tripped up by the separation of type and modularity when they are used to that being coupled in c++ and java.
"I am all for people getting paid for their content, but your argument is like saying libraries should be outlawed."

I suspect if you set up a privately owned library and lent out bestsellers, that's exactly what would happen.

That said, it'd be a real kicker IMO if the government stepped in and started broadcasting everything on the public airwaves for free anywhere in the world over the Internet. If the broadcasters don't like that, tough, go broadcast on cable. Of course, this will never happen because corporatocracy...

We are using P2SH and multisig transactions the same as everyone else, and we tried to interop with others, but it's not easy. They problems are discussed [in the FAQ](https://coinkite.com/faq/multisig). Key generation is open and interop with brainwallet and bip32.org

We've added this to help you with that.
http://cl.ly/image/0g2d3x1T3o0H/Detail%20View%3A%20Account%2...

Do Coinkite shared accounts interoperate with other vendors?

Although we are using the latest Bitcoin standards and technologies, it is hard to interoperate because of the following issues:

- Both parties need to correctly track all future and past P2SH addresses.
- Other "multisig" vendors are using P2SH and multisig in very limited ways.
- Most other vendors are keeping one private key to themselves, which prevents any useful interop.
- The BIP32 HD wallet paths are not well standardized.
- Any mistake or incompatibility can lead to lost funds and very bad karma.

However, to encourage progress in this area, we do include a "data export" option for one US-based exchange (Coinbase) and will add support for other vendors if it is useful. We also provide a one-click data export of all the details of the shared account, in our own simple JSON format.

We cannot provide technical support for individual end-users attempting to interoperate, but we are willing to speak to other vendors and support the greater crypto-currency community.
