It's different but if IO/Node diverge too far, it could break packages.
The process is as follows:

1. Any Github user submits a PR. This user is not required to have a name or a valid email address.

2. Anyone with review access to the Rust repository (disclaimer: myself included) reviews the PR and leaves a comment on the commit. A bot sees the comment and queues the PR for integration.

I can't comment on the legal implications, but the effect of this process is that there is a very low barrier to entry to contributing and likely explains why the total number of contributors (as measured by Github) is so high.

As to the issue of potential relicensing, the Rust repo is already about as permissively licensed as it gets (a dual license of MIT/Apache 2.0). As far as I understand, this already means that anyone can take the code and relicense it at will (I believe this is exactly what LibreOffice did to OpenOffice). At that point you'd probably still need to distribute the MIT license with each of the original files, but new contributions (and the project as a whole) would be covered by GPL or what have you.
Kudos SkyGeeks folks! I'm from North Iraq I know how much of dedication and hard work it takes to leverage a startup.

Don't speak the politics language, when you do business or become an entrepreneur open your doors to everyone. I'm sure there would be people from Israel or any other region be willing to invest in your talents and skills.

Follow the dream & passion don't let the other trivial stuff staph! you.
Do at least K&R not feel this way?

That discussion above does not really apply to C++. But then, if you lower the bar to how much C++ is widely known (the intersection, not union), it'll apply.
Thank you for this. I am going to search this one out.
The price is roughly triple that of Costco. A bit of hassle is worth that to me (and to be honest, they have no hassle either).
I don't know if Google really wants to get into the cable TV business, however, the benefit of offering the triple play is you get to sell more services to support the infrastructure.

The real problems with TV however, aren't technological (easy to use set top box) they are business problems; i.e. negotiating for the content rights with the providers. For instance, since cable channels are bought and sold in large bundles, there is no way I can say I want these channels but I don't want to pay for ESPN ((1) I'm indifferent to sports, and (2) I hate ESPN SportCenter which seems to be on much more often than actual sports) or Fox news, the "Weather" Channel.

I think Google wanted to improve their economics by offering a triple play and they didn't want to endanger the deal by doing anything radical.
Very well done. Love the simple approach. Definitely going to check this out.
At the end of the video, he does mention that it works for any digit. A more honest way to present the argument would be to start with "let x be any decimal digit..." but I suspect most non-mathematicians wouldn't be able to follow that.
For my purposes, I wrote a makefile which starts up a container with ssh, then provisions it with ansible (as you would with any normal remote host).

This meant a) I could reuse existing scripts to provision normal server b) docker could be used to test the ansible scripts were actually capturing everything required.

The cache point was a bit of a pain though, I confess.

The two aren't mutually exclusive, though. This merely explains why you remember certain individual songs and think they are better than you might think if they didn't have any special meaning to you. The fact that those that you remember are likely the better ones (rather than an unbiased sampling) is what makes you think all music was better (or that there was more better music, at least).

It seems like every time I get tempted to have an ounce of sympathy for Uber, something like this comes up to disabuse me of that.

This morning's sympathy was inspired by local government shenanigans. They had some city-manager jackhole on the radio explaining that they had informed Uber back in July that they would be considering Uber's business, and furthermore they now plan to do that consideration at the February city council meeting. Shameless!
The problem with spreadsheets is generally maintainability and testing not performance. At least if it is slow people might rewrite it on a better platform.

I think it is completely normal, I have been meditating daily for 5 years and my mind still gets agitated and restless during meditation, but overall, day to day, it has become lots easier to focus and the day to day agitation and restlessness has been massively calmed.
Do you contract for a few months at a time in $first_world_country?

I'm asking because I've been contracting in London for a couple years and I'm considering doing half the year here, then half the year something like what you describe. But I'd have to move the wife and (soon) kid twice a year. She says she's fine with that.
Shouldn't the title say something like "in the USA"?
I think there's some truth in what you say about stroking journalists egos, but remember, nobody is forcing Uber to play so aggressively; they're doing it for the sake of growth.

Revolutionary, fast-growing, successful companies are going to be scrutinized no matter what. It's up to the Uber exec and PR teams to decide when to put on the brakes--at the expense of growth--to avoid it.

Certainly there are other groundbreaking companies (e.g., SpaceX) that haven't found themselves in Uber's position, and it's likely due to their leadership, not their ability or willingness to pay off journalists.
"The Score Takes Care of Itself" by Bill Walsh: http://www.amazon.com/The-Score-Takes-Care-Itself/dp/1591843...

Jack Dorsey recommended this title at Startup School 2013 and I got around to reading it in 2014. It's also one of the readings for YC's "How to Start a Startup" class: http://startupclass.samaltman.com/lists/readings/

I didn't think the leadership notes from a highly successful NFL (American professional football) coach would have much application in the world of technology, but Walsh's insights and discipline can be applied to many different fields. It's changed the way I work as I lead teams and I realize I have a lot more to learn and apply in my day-to-day duties.

"The Score Takes Care of Itself" does get a bit behind-the-scenes in the football world, but if the reader is willing to get past those parts, or better, learn the lessons in some of the stories, there is a lot to be gained.

I'll further that as, I read this something like "Get away from your family, because they are a distraction"; but you have time for "surfing and yoga", because that lets you decompress.

> were it not for him conspiring to prevent competitors from poaching employees, we'd be able to make more at our work places

So Apple, Google, Adobe and one other company agreed to not poach employees from each other and get into an expensive wage war. I don't see how that's automatically bad and here's why:

In the dotcom booms, salaries skyrocketed unchecked. During the bust, MANY people got laid off... with a certain salary expectation, which hampered them. I dated someone like this, she spent 6 months going into CC debt trying to swallow the pill that she just wasn't going to make again what she made as a marketer at the height of the first dotcom boom. She literally refused to accept the market rate for herself.

All Jobs, Schmidt etc. did is prevent people from being paid unreasonably (and unsustainably) high salaries. And we're already talking comfortable 6 figure salaries, here. You know what would happen if these were allowed to rise unchecked? The guys at the top would eventually get laid off at the first sign of a downturn. And their "net income" would likely be the same as if they never had their pay unsustainably raised to begin with.

An arms race is no good for anyone.

> we'd be able to make more at our work places

So that's bullshit. EVERYONE gets paid market rate, more or less. Anything else is not sustainable or requires someone being fooled indefinitely, which is impossible (unless they are a fool to begin with).
I'm well aware. The folks who write Xcode have spent a significantly greater amount of time making their code completion put exactly what I want at my fingertips at exactly the right time.

The difference is significant.

Ulysses by James Joyce: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_%28novel%29

For most of my life, I focused on the logical, external, left-brain side of life. I saw little value in art (and even spurned it as something pretentious people did to seem more cultured). And so, I defined myself as “logical”, “left-brain”, “scientist”, etc and rejected the tags: “right-brain”, “artist”, etc.

Leading up to reading Ulysses, I had been growing in artistic appreciation, but Ulysses really pushed me over the edge. Prior to Ulysses, I felt I could only admire art as an outsider (because again, I was a “left-brainer” - I felt that I didn’t belong). Ulysses helped me change my very self-image. I am not a “left-brainer”; I am a human, and art is how we can express and share ourselves with each other.

Instacart is not "exactly like" Webvan. The only thing the two companies have in common is groceries. What distinguishes them is everything else. Webvan:

* Shipped their own groceries from their own gigantic centralized warehouses

* Did a land-grab rollout to a large number of cities

* Had a gold-plated customer experience enabled by enormous spending on employees and infrastructure. I still store all my electronics in a large stack of those big plastic crates Webvan gave me for free

* Built a massive central kitchen so they could deliver prepared meals to their customers

Instacart:

* Sends randos to Whole Foods and Safeway to get groceries using those people's own vehicles

* Rolls out slowly (I still can't get service in Oak Park, despite being half a block from Chicago, and Chicago only happened months and months after they launched SFBA)

* Has no discernable infrastructure expenses. I think they might reimburse some of their drivers for $20 dollies.

You can turn any "flop" into a "fantastic idea" if you devise a sustainable business model for it. If you can buy for a nickel and sell for a dime, you're golden. Webvan bought for a dollar and sold for a penny. Groceries had nothing to do with it.

Blindsight. (Spoiler alert!) Not because it's a great fiction story (it is), but because it introduced me to the concept of Unconscious Intelligence. We take it for granted that "sleeping on a problem" or "going for a walk" can lead us to great ideas and breakthroughs. That's great, ideas do just pop into the mind. But... what created those ideas?

This might be the key to explaining a lot of things. For instance, I read a terrible book about why RSI isn't real, how it's just in my head, by an author that loved Freud. I put it down in disgust. But somehow, that seed of doubt, that explanation that RSI was an unconscious response to other pain... My RSI went away.

(Apologies if this is well known, but it is a novel enough to this 33 yr old that it sends chills down my spine.)
So in general, almost all numbers contain any digit? Great.

"Deliver groceries to people able and willing to pay for them" has been going on for a very long time.

Back before home internet access was a thing, companies like Schwan's ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwan_Food_Company ) were making home deliveries of frozen foods. Dairies have done deliveries for as long as I can remember.

Webvan didn't fail because grocery delivery is a bad idea.

Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey.

It describes the daily schedule of almost every famous creative person you can think of in a few paragraphs, from Bach to Tesla to Ayn Rand. Peering into the day to day lives of well known people was fascinating, but I was most interested in how efficient they were with their time. Many of the people featured in the book, especially the writers, sat down and worked for only two or three hours a day and often produced only several pages. It really changed my perspective on how creative work gets done. Especially when considering the hn culture of hyperproductivity. it was revealing to see how some of the greatest creative minds of all time respected the limits of their quality mental output.

I've tried to adapt my personal schedule to match some of their habits, and have generally felt better about being able to get a limited amount of creative work done in 24 hours. Come to see a new side of people who's work you know well, stay to get a better understanding of how they created great things.
Great news for them. I built a dashboard a few months ago using graphs which pull data from InfluxDB and I had a lot of fun with it. To me, it seem a whole lot easier to use than Graphite.
That's almost deserving of its own post, nicely done.
In the end he mentions that it's equally true for the number 5. I guess that's because of the nature of infinity. All numbers would contain almost all other digits when infinity is involved.
Just looking through my read category on my kindle and realised I haven't read any life changing books in 2014.

Currently reading Javascript and Jquery by Jon Duckett and find his visual style and clear, concise writing perfectly fits how I learn. Could not recommend it enough to any other programming learners.

I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi is a very simple, straightforward book on personal finance. He advocates having your money automatically distributed into fixed costs, investments and spending money rather than getting bogged down in budgets.

An Army at Dawn by Rick Atkinson is the first in a trilogy that chronicles America's entrance into World War II in North Africa, all the way to the downfall of the Third Reich. His style is both minutely researched and totally readable. He nails the violence and horror at the front, as well as the incredible scale and logistics of the whole enterprise. I'm now on the second in the trilogy, The Day of Battle.

Last year Thinking Fast and Slow and Antifragile were my highlights - they compliment each other well and both changed my outlook on how the world is organised and how I perceive it.

Thanks to all the other posters, I've added lots of the suggested books to my kindle.
I was surprised at the number who had a degree was less than the national average for California. I guess there's a lot of immigrant workers who don't achieve higher education levels which skews the perception living and working in the valley. States like Virginia and Kansas beat the national average, yet not california, that's really sad.
NOC doesn't mean his record is clean, or he is safe to hire. NOC means, that DP doesn't have any issues with him getting recruited anywhere (ofcourse if people with records of served sentence aren't going to get a job, they will get into more shady things).

Uber on its own, had to follow its marketing pitch at least(that it checks bla bla bla). But then again, that didn't happen, and that is the basis of the outburst here.
Almost all the graphics, audio, net, event, ui, system calls and data structures are generally tied to the low level frameworks without any level of virtualization.

Add to that that each framework has its own standard and way of doing games (event-base, component-base, etc.). The worse part I think is the game logic is generally enclosed in framework-specific objects like events in as3, components in unity, etc.

Virtualizing that would be expensive, tricky and costy in terms of performance.
Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, by Haruki Murakami

http://www.amazon.com/Colorless-Tsukuru-Tazaki-Years-Pilgrim...

Hard to do it justice, but here is Patti Smith:

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/10/books/review/haruki-muraka...

I changed my attitude toward all of my old friends after reading this book. I started calling them more, and trying to be more in their lives. It's amazing how centering books can be, if they catch you in the right mindset. I'll pass on a warning that this book deals with some heavy, serious depression.
Their screen capture of the Seattle Center area is particularly amusing given that their competitor Apple Maps still hasn't figured out:

1. That Broad St no longer exists for a significant portion of its length.

2. That Mercer St has been two-way for months now.

This is the major east-west road in that area, and they can't even get that right.

Yes, I've reported it regularly for months now.
Well, they only re-drive most places every few years (Toronto seems to have 1-2 year gaps), so their own image sources won't necessarily have that data yet. Although, you'd think that local business listings would also be a data source and would probably be up-to-date. Do they scrape retailers' sites to learn about store locations? Guess not but would have assumed so.

Just wait for the self-driving car tests to ramp up. I think one of Google's early deployments will be a fleet of self-driving cars equipped to take streetview photos - this should enable something like weekly redrives of cities.
So, given this process, there is literally no advantage to having anyone sign legal agreements, at all. I don't expect Mozilla to change, of course. :)

As for relicensing:

Both MIT and Apache require copyright notices be reproduced when you ship binaries.
I'll assume MIT since it is the more permissive (Apache also requires you give the user a copy of the license, etc).

Rust is statically linked by default, IIRC (and even shared linking often ends up with some runtime code statically linked in).

If Rust binaries include parts of the MIT code by default (I haven't looked at how the runtime and ABI support is structured), then anyone who ships those binaries would be required to reproduce the copyright notice somewhere.

You cannot take this code and relicense it at will, actually. But you can achieve the same practical effect as relicensing, as long as you reproduce the notice, so i won't get into it unless you really want me to :)

(But note that reproducing the notice is exactly the issue for runtime libraries, and without CLA's in place, you would hav to go and ask all contributors who have ever contributed to the runtime libraries in order to be able to remove that notice reproduction requirement)
