Yeah, music is another style of communication.

The industrialisation of music has destroyed a really joyful way for people to express themselves and to communicate with people around them.

When musical literacy is lacking in a person it is truly sad. I read somewhere musical illiteracy is around 95% of the USA now. Which is a pretty good market for people who have to buy all their music! When you combine this with no knowledge of food preparation, and no knowledge of the environment, it makes for a pretty poor existence IMHO.

Oh well :(

I like a lot such analyses based on the network structure (not long ago I made something similar for Stack Exchange - http://stared.github.io/tagoverflow/; continuation of my older one https://github.com/stared/tag-graph-map-of-stackexchange/wik...).

Wording like "taken every opportunity to passively promote its role as a “truth” engine" makes me suspicious. How do you promote something "passively"?

If the EU wants to delist results worldwide they have to reach for a worldwide law. Work together with other bodies of law, the UN or whoever. But why'd EU law rule worldwide? Oh, right, we're rich.
My experience with .gov.uk has been quite positive: I recently needed to check Companies House: they had a horrible 'XML gateway' service from the mid-2000s. Someone from .gov.uk got in touch and put me on the beta for the official Companies REST API that replaces the XML gateway.

Also regards to The Register's 'trendy' accusation: GDS chooses what works over what's trendy for everything critical: their apps work without AJAX and CSS too.
Well done, very interesting work.
Where do you see hate against capitalists in Marx works? On the contrary, while he sees it necessary to overcome capitalism, he variously describes capitalism in glowing terms, describes capitalists as bound by the same system as the working class, and describes capitalism as a necessary precondition for socialism.

The entire first half of the first chapter of the Communist Manifesto, for example is one long description of how the bourgeoisie / capitalist have driven humanity forwards.

> It did.

It did not. Not past the October "revolution". The Bolsheviks played with it as long as it suited them (that is, as long as they did not have influence in the democratically elected Provisional Government, but had influence in the Soviets set up in the Moscow and Petrograd soviets), but when it was clear that most people did not support them, they quickly curtailed the power of the Soviets and hunted down and murdered thousands of leaders of opposition groups that countered their influence in them. Including Marxists.

> Stalin was not distortion, there were other leaders similar to him, who would take his place if we would not exist

After he had murdered and exiled the opposition in his own party, yes. Which against followed the murder and exile and prohibition of Marxist and other socialist groups years earlier.

And it's a -professional- courtesy, whereby you are maintaining a better relationship with the company you're leaving (because you never know if you might some day want/need to come back).

The converse, a company letting you go effective immediately, no severance, is sufficiently discourteous that it will likely prevent anyone from -wanting- to come back, as well as will build a reputation for them that will likely prevent a lot of talent from even looking at them as a possibility.

It behooves both employees and employers to keep their professional impressions positive.

And that's how licensing usually worked, whether you were a practicing entity or not. Lawsuits typically only happened if negotiations broke down, because they are expensive and/or risky for both sides. This may or may not have happened in this case, as TFA does not mention it.

However, licensing is risky these days. The Medimmune v Genentech decision (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MedImmune,_Inc._v._Genentech,_I...) significantly changed the calculus of licensing negotiations. Essentially, it enabled potential and current licensees to preemptively sue the licensor for "Declaratory Judgment". This is bad for licensors because 1) any tentative approach for licensing can blow up in their face, and 2) if it does, the licensor will have to expend considerable resources fighting a lawsuit they didn't want, 3) in a venue that then becomes wherever the DJ is filed, which may be unfavorable to the licensor for many reasons, such as not being EDTexas.

Ok, I was just picking on EDTexas (Delaware is just as common), but the venue matters for many reasons, including the state of the docket, local laws and the primary political leanings (and other biases) of the judges and jury pool. As a simplified example, you don't want to sue an automotive company in Detroit. Forum-shopping is something that should not exist, but is an unfortunate reality of the current system. My personal belief is we should do away with jury trials entirely for patent cases.

But what is certainly true is that that's a far better result than the typical government IT project. Give me the gov.uk "debacle" (which it ain't) any day over the DWP or the NHS PfIT...

You can't make things better without making choices. Much like Apple products, that's bound to piss off some people. But once you have something that's actually good at something, instead of just being mediocre all around, it's perhaps possible to over time grow that into something that's good at multiple things.

All other experiences of government websites show sites that are just universally meh or bad. Gov.uk has been the first government website where I thought "wow, that's neat."
Hm why does adding information to memory sound monadic to you? I am not questioning you, but just curious. My knowledge of monads is limited.

I would argue that Searle's Chinese Room is posed in a way that presupposes what forms computation might take or the limits it has. Since this was posed decades ago (1980), it makes sense in his time. If Searle had begun teaching today (instead of 1969) and seen convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks deployed in massive data centers, Watson win Jeopardy!, neural Turing machines, or a worm's brain emulated and embodied in a small robot, I doubt he would have posed his Chinese Room the same way. Maybe he would not have posed it at all, being convinced in light of those achievements.

I'm surprised no one with an eye towards reducing the number/variety of such tools has inflicted an intentional App Store-style price race to the bottom by creating such a tool, preferably a superior one, and selling it well under cost (e.g. $1.00) to make it unprofitable to develop them. Might take multiple "competing" tools to cause this to occur, of course, and at some point they'd want to stop supplying their tools.

Of course, your $100 price might be a figure pulled out of thin air, not an accurate one.

Doesn't surprise me. I posted some questions on their self-congratulatory blog post on why they were using tax payers money to write their own front end proxy in golang rather than use nginx/apache.

My post was simply deleted. Obviously don't like public criticism.

The whole thing is an NIH stack of crap from a tech POV. Not only that they've broken the self assessment stuff terribly. It's now a mishmash of two sites that barely work together. I had to dig out a load of tax code notifications recently and it was painful.

Posted as a throwaway account as I've brought this up here before and I was buried.

Edit: This was their third attempt at a front end proxy solution. Even riverbed/f5 appliances are better value by the time you hit your third attempt.

I find this argument odd. Marx did not argue for most people to sacrifice. On the contrary: He argued for the majority to recognise that the minority would not willingly lift them up, and instead to rise up and take their share.

If you don't believe humans are willing to "sacrifice that much" for others, capitalism would not survive: The vast majority willingly accept that there are people with vast amounts of more wealth than them.

It's much easier to review a feature branch that has a clean history. Especially if it's remotely complex. If every commit is self-contained and each adds only one logical feature dependency, then every commit can be reviewed individually for correctness and unintended side-effects, rather than the entire complex diff as a whole.
The problems are twofold. First, these files and some others that VS uses are XML, and XML has this property where semantically-equivalent files can be structurally-different. Empty elements can be rendered with or without end tags, empty attributes can be present or absent, whitespace between tags doesn't matter, etc.

(sln files aren't really XML, but they're XML-like in their structure. I've had fewer problems with them than the other files.)

The second issue is the way Visual Studio modifies these files: it reads and parses them into a DOM tree, makes changes to the DOM, and then serializes the DOM back out to the file. So a small change in one part of the project causes the entire file to be re-written, and it often gets restructured in the process. I've found this to be a bigger problem when different developers are using different versions of Visual Studio; at my company we've had 2010, 2012, and 2013 all in use at the same time on the same projects until everyone upgraded. (And we had good reasons for not upgrading everyone at once.)

I guess there's a third reason: most .NET developers never look at these files directly; for the most part they are only modified through Visual Studio. So, although they're just text files and conflicts are resolved the same way they're resolved in code, that's made more difficult by not knowing what the files are supposed to look like or what the correct resolution should be. The sln files are particularly annoying in this regard because they're about 80% Guid strings and 20% readable text, so it can be really hard to understand the diff.

When I started working with .NET, I had to learn all about these file formats when I started running into conflicts in them, and now I'm comfortable fixing conflicts and often editing them directly. I've helped most of my team gain the same comfort level, so we don't have problems anymore. The conflicts, when they happen, are just annoying now.

That brings us bak to my original point: there is not a single example of successful Marxist economy, regardless of what part of the Marxist wish-thinking you embrace.

There is also no example of a successful free market economy, because no such thing exists.

The abstract concepts of socialism and capitalism tend to be polluted very quickly by the humans who inhabit and implement these systems. This means both types of system collapse without regulation - in the west these regulations are an extensive set of laws against monopolies, manipulating markets, insider information etc. and yet we still see regular very destructive whole-market crashes and speculative bubbles which devastate our economies. It's just the least worst system we know.

I can see how coming from a former communist block country where Marx was treated almost as a deity along with the likes of Lenin and Stalin would give you a healthy disrespect for him. However, Marx is a useful critique of capitalist dogma, even if you don't agree with his prescriptions for a solution, or the solutions people made up in his name. When he was writing capitalism in the west was in one of its most brutal and pure states and was an obviously flawed and exploitative system with little hope of improvement in life for the majority - as recorded by Engels for example at around the same time [1]. So don't mistake those who take his critique of capitalism seriously (like Varoufakis) for those who embrace every aspect of his thought or would support leninism or stalinism.

Because you want a nice supported easy to install version compiled and packaged for your platform

And who gets the money when you do?

The person who compiled and packaged it.
nginx fully supports SPDY. HTTP/2 is largely based on SPDY so I expect that nginx will support HTTP/2 very soon.
The most deliciously ironic thing is that the main Marx's grief with capitalism - the fact that the workers didn't own the means of production (or "capital") - was rectified exactly by the modern financial capitalism today's left love to bash.

If you take a look at blue chip companies (and I bet a lot of midcaps as well) a huge amount of their shares, often way over 50%, is owned by their employees. This fact doesn't necessarily help sell Che Guevara t-shirts or help your populist party win elections, though.

I hear about these patent trolls a lot but I never really got an understanding of what kind of people and companies these are.

First of all, I know they are scummy and yada yada.

But they must be very smart, setting up shell companies and having deep (?) knowledge of the various tech stuff they are pursuing, it's not within the average persons knowledge to do things like these.

How do they get the patents? Do they validly have patents, 100% generic or not, before something similar comes up. Or do they somehow "craft" it towards the victim.

Is there some known person who is a patent troll?

Is it knowlegable normal people workin in the scene while doing these things "behind" the scenes or is it some proper company/office that delegates stuff to their "shells"? It must require a huge amount of work to fight these mega corporations, even if they give up quickly.

I find them faschinating in the same way as any high level scam artist since it requires some finess.
Well, just read the synopsis:

>A device may be capable of communicating using at least two type types of modulation methods. The device may include a transceiver capable of acting as a master according to a master/slave relationship in which communication from a slave to a master occurs in response to communication from the master to the slave. The master transceiver may send transmissions discrete transmissions structured with a first portion and a payload portion. Information in the first portion may be modulated according to a first modulation method and indicate an impending change to a second modulation method, which is used for transmitting the payload portion.

This could be valid for any form of communication with more than one modulation system (Wifi, BT, DVB television, any recent communication system).
I'm pretty sure that the modulation of the monitoring systems in a rocket will switch between transmission modes when the rocket reaches some upper layers of the atmosphere.
Thank you very much for the compliment, although it's important to remember that just because someone has a contrarian opinion, doesn't necessarily mean that they have critical thinking skills.

(Unless you were being sarcastic. Sarcasm doesn't translate well over text.)
Marx really needs an intellectual salvage operation to rescue the sound observations from the ruins of Marxism. His works highlight a number of structural problems. In terms of solutions it's been a disaster, but the failure of a solution does not mean the problem goes away.

For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendency_of_the_rate_of_profit_... : includes observations on the effect of labour-saving innovation. This keeps coming up again and again here in the context of e.g. self-driving cars.

See also this line from the middle of the article: "Both [communists and social democrats], in addition to their other errors (and, indeed, crimes) failed, to their detriment, to follow Marx’s lead in a crucial regard: instead of embracing liberty and rationality as their rallying cries and organising concepts, they opted for equality and justice, bequeathing the concept of freedom to the neoliberals."

As an individual, I find that gov.uk is far more useful than any of the sites that preceded it - especially DirectGov. It's sad to hear that they haven't paid quite so much attention to corporate users of Government services.

However, much of this article appears to be anecdotes of people in Government complaining after-the-fact. Why were they not involved during the transition, when they could best help with the process? I highly doubt the gov.uk team rewrote entire libraries full of quite technical information on their own - there was someone on the side of the departments who failed to do their job.
