Yep, you're right.

As a writer, marketer, creator and consumer of content, I enjoy thinking about things like this. I've witnessed my work being plagiarized and edited before. I personally accept it as just the way reality is– some people are lazy about attribution, and other people like feeling talented and special when they diliberately share others' content without attribution or remixing.

The answer to "Why doesn't anyone care"- it all boils down to incentive structures. "Parody accounts" can steal with impunity. "Casual randos" can steal with impunity.

- If you're an artist, and faceless, nameless folks plagiarize your work, going after them actually makes you look insecure or clueless. (Metallica and Napster come to mind.)

- If you get plagiarized by someone Bigger, Badder and More Powerful, then that's a news story in itself- you're the underdog, and everybody loves to root for the underdog.

The best response to plagiarism, in my opinion, is to make more art. Some artists get very offended by this- they feel that they are entitled to all the attribution to all their work forever and ever. And that would be a beautiful world, I guess, and maybe discussions like these help to educate people. I also can imagine a world where- when you make a joke that's been made before (online), or you post an image that's been posted before, a sort of reverse Google / reverse image search will reveal to readers where the origin of the remix is.

For anybody who is curious about this sort of thing, I highly recommend the video Everything Is A Remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coGpmA4saEk
Alibaba Creates a Consumer Credit Rating Service
I don't think the Alibaba spinoff would be worth $40 billion because it comes with a sizeable tax bill which shareholders will have to pay when they sell their shares.
Would be easy to add something like that in CLOS using :before and :after methods and maybe some macros to give suitable syntax.

I wonder if that manga increases or decreases the number of actual child abuses. Doing a quick Google search, it seems UK and US are in the top 5 countries with highest child abuse rates:

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/child-sexual-abuse-top-5-countries-...

There could be a theory that if you allow things that you'd normally consider crimes and unacceptable in a society, in virtual form, that would prevent the things from happening in real life, as those committing the acts would be "satisfied" by the virtual act, and wouldn't have a desire to do it in real life anymore.

In a way, it kind of already works like that with (regular) porn. Now I wonder - and this is just a crazy idea I'm throwing out there - what if images of abused children, actually cause fewer "real" pedophiles to exist/commit those acts with real children? And what if our current "ban child porn from the Internet" policy just means more pedophiles will go looking for children to abuse in their local towns instead of watching online videos?

Maybe it's just a crazy sick idea, but it might be worth exploring from a statistics point of view, to see whether our current policies are working or are actually making the problem worse. We probably don't even need to "experiment" with any new policy. I think we just need to carefully look at past data, and see what we can learn from it.
> literally nobody was harmed in the process.

Because you think being exposed over and over to something does not harm someone's mind, or change their perception ?

> No, they're not sold to kids.

I'm not talking about adult ones, I'm talking about even the ones for young folks: there's plenty of hard core sexual content as well in. Check it out for yourself.
You assume wrong, the post talks about the possibility of the developers including a proxy to secure client requests to the database.
We've learnt a lot from Sellafield - an early nuclear plant in Britain (which was mostly used to provide material for military use).

That's awesome, I didn't know about this draft at all! Still wondering how such a native feature hasn't been drafted within the first 25 years of web browsers.
Any (un)official ETA?
By saying they've released "source code" they're claiming to have somehow got hold of extra information (i.e. done some old-fashioned journalism and got hold of C code or whatever, containing comments and symbols and human information about intent). In fact they've just downloaded a publicly available binary and disassembled it.
I think the best usage scenario for an e-ink screen is the portable devices scenario, but I don't think 13.3" is made to be portable. And this monitor is not touchable, so we can image a man holding the monitor in his left hand to read, and a smart phone in the other hand to turn page(if the monitor can be compatible with smart phone).
And another thing I have to say is it's to expensive for me. I can buy two e-ink readers with this price, one for me and one for my wife so she won't complain to me how boring to look after a baby all day.
But the refresh rate really surprised me, and I hope the company can do more market research for the next production.
I strongly believe that hiring should be based on data. Based on the following 5 factors:

1.Intellect
2.Values
3.Motivations
4.Behaviours
5.Experience

With these factors you can determine a persons Cultural Fit and predicted future performance. In fact, you could automate this through technology.

For example, for predicting future performance we could test the high performers in our company then we have a template for what motivations and behaviours high performers are likely to exhibit. Based on this we can then assess new comers and map them against high performers. The more highly correlated they are, the more likely you should be to hire them.

For culture, if you currently like the culture of your company you could simply assess the values of all your employees, average them and assess new applicants against this and depending on correlation, hire them or not. This could be done through a CFT (Cultural Fit Tool)

But this is just one suggestion. Software that enables this could work quite well IMO.
Drawing rape, and raping somebody and taking pictures, is exactly as far apart as drawing murder, and murdering somebody and taking pictures.

I'm on board with talking about whether drawing rape and murder is moral, but in no way can it be said to be immoral simply because rape and murder in itself is immoral. If so, Hollywood would be put on trial for crimes against humanity.
I'm disappointed to see this prioritized over, say, a focus on reduced library size or simply getting to a stable 1.0 release. I'm not sure how this moves React forward, though I'm sure it's a "nice to have" for some people.

Still, perhaps we'll learn more about the roadmap and goals of the team at the React conference this week.
I relate to the dilemma. When I was playing Half Life as a kid, I remember being blown away by the "smart enemy AI."

These days I find it odd when enemy AI does NOT react in a dynamic, networked way. Interesting how my expectation has changed over the years. I wonder if the same applies for video game graphics, too?
Phone systems are also global. You create legislation and fines for not setting that value, but calls from legacy systems around the world still have to be supported. Or has anybody ever tried to call a number and got a "sorry, your phone is too old, you need to upgrade" response?
There is debate that heightened exposure to pornography correlates with lower incidences of rape: http://freakonomics.com/2011/08/04/porn-and-rape-the-debate-...

>the U.S. states in which rapes rose by 53 percent had the least Internet access between 1980 and 2000—and so the least access to Internet porn. States with the most access saw a 27 percent drop in reported rapes.

But there are so many other factors playing into this (with heightened exposure to Internet due to higher income and more free time also comes a higher level of education, which may deter rape), so the debate is still going on, but a clear "porn -> rape" correlation doesn't seem to exist.
I agree, I really don't like having to bind all the methods manually, and I'm not sure I agree with the argument of causing confusion. Being used to having to bind and finding out it's being done automatically in React is just a sweet surprise. And besides, I'm sure we'll only see more and more automatic binding in future projects?
Oh, cool. (The only time I ever met Douglas Adams, I was in London and dropped in on TDV, where a friend of mine was working as a sysadmin -- this was around summer 1997 -- and I got the tour, which included the man himself, who just happened to be in.) IIRC the novelization was going to be written by Robert Sheckley (who was also there, one of the great SF satirists of the 1950s to 1970s, up there with Harry Harrison in his early period):

http://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/sheckley_robert

TDV had enormous energy back in mid-1997, but as I understand it everything fell apart very rapidly after Douglas died; he was the main driver behind the whole project, so rather than being an independent games house -- which it had the potential to become -- it died with its founder. (There's a lesson in here for startups, I think: try not to depend exclusively on a single creative vision?)
Is it possible to mute those numbers? Set a silent ring tone for any contact in a group maybe? Of course an app for this scenario would be better.

If you really want to understand how things work from
the very bottom, you can build a toy computer running
on FPGA, there are some very cheap boards available
now.

You don't even have to go that far, you can build something resembling the cheap early 80s/late 70s computers from off the shelf chips and 8 bit CPUs that are still sold (z80, i8051, 6502).

e.g. http://www.grappendorf.net/projects/6502-home-computer

These chips are simple enough that you can basically hold the whole thing in your head.
And yet, it does. I wonder why?

At the least, the shareholders hold the cash hostage. They are among the first to be paid out in event of a liquidation.

Perhaps a better question is, how are shareholders not a cost?

This is a problem. Need a solution? Slap a micro on it. It's a shortcut but not always the best solution. I've seen circuits using a cheap micro, yes, but someone had to program it and a simple analog circuit would have done nicely, cheaper and possibly better and more reliably.

This thought that every problem is solved with a microprocessor shows no thought being applied to the solution, not brilliance by some engineer.

How can you wonder? Isn't it obvious?

Graphics that would leave us impressed in 1985 or 1995 or 2000 are considered nothing to write home about a few years later...

> There is debate that heightened exposure to pornography correlates with lower incidences of rape: http://freakonomics.com/2011/08/04/porn-and-rape-the-debate-....

Hello ? I'm not saying porn and rape is linked. I'm saying you can get tons of hardcore material everywhere in Japan, so why go only after the ones selling pictures ? Personally I dont see much difference between a drawing a kid being raped and an actual picture, for the end viewer. In both situations you are allowing that person to feel good about it, which is, in my view, wrong anyway.
That's exactly the contrast I was drawing, yet to only talk about only one creates a cognitive distortion. One strong enough to confuse people into thinking that Apple dominates the laptop market when I think, but can't find the specific confirmation numbers, that Lenovo sells more laptops. That's one brand vs. Apple. Consider the wider market, and "market dominance" is a much a misnomer in the small as "market share domination" is in the large.

The parent here was asking why the laptops are so great, but they are actually a minor, albeit interesting, part of the market and market share. By market metrics, they aren't that that amazing. They are outsold by another single brand and fall into the "Other" category when looking at market share.
You have been warned ...
Agreed. I'm guessing there should be (in the realm of possible solutions) some sort of intermediate arrangement, or a whole spectrum of intermediate arrangements. These may previously have been too complex to manage, but might now be plausible.

(Can't help but feel like there's some sort of parallel between this and conventional attitudes towards marriage! Just because marriage is a little bizzare doesn't mean that the only alternative should be bachelor life forever.)
A lot of pre-built teams work that way because they have naturally developed the rapport required to operate so effectively. You can't force people to like each other and work well together. I'd hire a team in a heartbeat.

Arguments have been made on both sides regarding legality of simulated images (be they manga or realistic drawings / computer models) when it comes to underage stuff. Some say that it's better for paedophiles to be able to enjoy images that didn't harm any children in their production and that it will help them avoid looking at actual child pornography, while others say it has the opposite effect, that by allowing themselves the fake stuff they're more likely to move onto real images. I've no idea which argument is correct (or maybe both depending on the person?), or if there is any actual evidence other than opinions.

There's also a technical issue that some have predicted in terms of when computer images become too realistic, how do you tell whether it was computer generated or a real child in the video?

Regardless of what side you come down on these arguments, I definitely don't get your parent's point about morals - it's clearly a huge amount less immoral to make or view fake pictures than to actually abuse children and film/photograph it.

Look into Microsoft's Task Parallel Library, it's fantastic! It gives you something similar to channels.

I wish more people knew about it.
As someone else mentioned, Reactive Extensions are also great - I believe they will be getting backpressure support which will allow similar semantics to channels (but with first-class error handling)
I am not sure if I get the point of the ServerModels. One would need to maintain the properties in both the ViewModel and the ServerModel, write logic for syncing them and so on. It also goes against the principle of "one-true-source" of data.
I can see that you don`t want to mix up your view-specific properties with your rest-data, but I feel that one might find a better solution for this problem.

On the application I am currently working on we choose the following approach to the problem( were using reflux for Flux implementations, main difference is that actions dispatches them self).

View -> Trigger Action -> Action Creator -> Action creator calls Rest API -> Action sent to Store -> Store receives REST data and creates Immutable versions of it -> Store Triggers immutable version of it`s content to view

This keeps the stores as the "one-true-source" while the action creators does all the communications against the rest-api. Might be that this approach will be to simple when the application is starting to really expand, but I feel we found an easy to maintain, easy to understand and clean solution to the problem.
This does have one limitation -- you cannot reach other IPv6 addresses also using the same 6rd gateway. It just doesn't work without handling the full 6rd protocol. But if you just want IPv6 to the wider internet and don't care about connecting to other users on your ISP over v6 this is a reasonable solution.
+1! I'm guessing there's a sweet spot for (our sort of) life– you need the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen.

As I said in another comment it's not even the point. Is it moral to actually have kids access such depictions in the first place, whether it's actual pictures or drawings, is what I am talking about. Of course everyone will have a different opinion about that, I guess.

>Staffup Weekend put the lie to Stein’s pronouncement. As Nicholson later wrote me, “The fact that people stayed for 48 hours to work on something put them head and shoulders above the thousands of applications we receive, because the participants are people who show up and see things through.”

And this event is an attempt to make showing up for a 48 hour 'work trial' a norm. This favors the younger, single population, and while you're working on whatever this event is, you are not putting more resumes out. There's the potential for abuse in getting free work out of applicants from other people mimicking this event.

(How long until we're tossed into an arena with bows and arrows only to survive and rewrite every algorithm from a CS degree on a whiteboard?)

Although the 46% percentage figure was shown in this thread to be wrong/bad, even if you consider hiring as a coin-toss, your success still depends on how many resumes you can put out there. You have to balance the time it takes to tailor your resume to the company versus moving on and finding the next company to submit a resume to. At the extremes, some people don't tailor at all and throw their resume and cover letter at everyone in a suit. Others will do deep-dive research and make 27 drafts of a resume/cover to the point where they already know more about the company than the person who may hire them. I still think there's significant coin-tossery going on: if the companies are having to filter everyone because there is so much volume, then you must at least do as much as you can to increase your own output. The 'trick' then is to just know someone who can put in a good word (and it really has always been an option)

This may work for some job sectors as a novel hiring process (it's certainly overblown for retail/fast food) but if it scales up, you'll end up taking significant bargaining power from individuals. To say nothing if companies start replacing their current employees with the winners from these kinds of events.

If you pick up the phone and say "Please put me on your courtesy do not call list", legitimate companies will stop calling you.

That leaves the you've won a free cruise/insurance/alarm scam companies, but they mostly don't call over and over again.

The point is not to argue with them about whether they should be calling you etc., it is to advertise yourself as a dead lead.

Incidence rates are useless if you are looking for Japan data, because the violence / sexual assaults on women are widely underreported here. Most women will not talk about it. And touching women in crowded areas (subway, trains) is so commonplace in Japan they made laws to criminalize it. That says enough, I think.

Repeating jokes without attribution has been the cultural norm for centuries. The whole notion of plagiarism and copyright and such are the recent inventions.

Thank good nobody cares, that just means that the intellectual property mafia hasn't indoctrinated us so much yet as to destroy any notion of a common culture.
To repeat what was said earlier: because it's not about the viewer. It's about the child actually being molested.

Q: Why is child pornography illegal?

A: Because it requires real life children to be abused in real life

Q: Why is CG / drawings of child pornography controversial?

A: Because we don't know if it will lead to real children being abused in real life.

Does this answer your questions?
Well here's mine: I wore glasses for 1 year (mostly in class and removed them as soon as I could) then switched to contacts, never looked back (10 years now).

Glasses are a big disconfort when you wear them for the first time at 18 years old, always dirty (inadvertently putting my finger on them), can't look on the sides or at the top (especially in class when taking notes), you move your neck a lot more, sun from certain angles makes you blind, etc

I agree sometimes they can become uncomfortable given certain conditions and I keep a pair of glasses around but most of the time (must be 99% for me) I find the contacts to be a better solution.

I don't think that's what he's saying at all. It's closer to following a scientific approach; what you "know" is simply a more or less wrong model of the reality. You may study something "magical" until you understand it completely, but you still must be prepared to revise your knowledge if suddenly you learn something new that goes against it.
