"Some element of guesswork" != "just winging it"

If 99% of the job is applying well-understood techniques to well-trod problems you have an intimate domain understanding of, and 1% is judgment calls you can't rigorously justify, that's not "winging it".

What I think is going on is that people think back to their work, only remember the 1%, and then casually conclude that "aw, heck, the whole thing is just judgment calls", which doesn't follow at all.

Many projects crucially depend on someone having that deep understanding, and their success proves that at least one person (and probably a lot more) aren't winging it. If people would just operationalize what this nugget of wisdom is supposed to mean, I think we'd find a lot more disagreement on what it means, or a much less surprising insight.

I find your answer somewhat grating. I will explain why.

We do not see eye to eye. I'm not trying to "figure this out together". I 'figured this out' years ago. I'm pointing out that you are using the wrong terminology, and trying to correct your understanding. We are not at the same level.

For example, you said "not sure how you'd satisfy the condition without [a credits page]". That's the wrong terminology. It's a copyright notice and a permission notice. That doesn't require a "credits page". Though those notices could go on such a page, there's no requirement that there be a "page", and the term "credits page" adds needless terminology.

By repeating meaningless or at least ambiguous phrases like "You have to retain the original copyright", and by using new and irrelevant terms like "credits page", you are adding to the confusion around copyright.

Further, in your response to jeffmould you said "You're not contradicting anything I said, are you?". The thing is, you have since made a contradiction. jeffmould said that the code from ProjectA which is in ProjectB is not subject ProjectB's license. You said that the code is subject to a dual license. This is a post-hoc contradiction.
Hostname is not encrypted if you're using SNI[1], and if you're not, you can only connect to IPs that serve a single HTTPS site, so it's not meaningfully hidden anyway.

The author of Reflux argues against having a single dispatcher though: http://spoike.ghost.io/deconstructing-reactjss-flux/
I saw nothing in the OP's statement to clarify that context, nor have I seen it in any of the numerous other posts that repeat the same claim.

If there are a hundred non-obvious caveats, which people may even disagree on ... maybe it's not actually so wise?

At the very least, those who promote this claim should verify they're not confusing "use gut instinct when you have to make a judgement call" with "the entirety of coding, including iterating 1 to 100, is a judgement call".
Yes, that's right. 'go-raft' is imported by rqlite, and uses that package for consensus and leader election.
Many ticket-limited events have figured out how to run a massive timed purchasing event like this. TicketFly could have checked out any one of them to learn how to properly execute this kind of event, and prevent "line-skipping". (ShmooCon and Playa Del Fuego are two such events i'm familiar with)

The system is very simple: you open up the ticket purchase page a few minutes before registration opens. The page reloads at randomish 30-second intervals. Once registration opens, the backend sets a queue number linked to a unique ID, and sets a cookie in your browser with that ID. You wait for the page to finally reload and say "it's your turn to purchase tickets!" And so, through a delayed system of individual registrations, everyone gets their ticket if they showed up at the appropriate time.

The 'queue' is a server-side aspect of this system, and it all happens on servers that have their clocks synchronized. Before accepting anyone into the queue, the server software needs to check if it's 12:00 yet (or whatever time registration opens).

Their software did not check the time before populating the queue. Bottom line: this was a bug in TicketFly's software, not "hacking".
Could be, but a lot of people take that "just" as meaning "there are essential gender differences rooted in the very fabric of the universe, so there's no point in talking about it". So if I were trying to point at the social factors that shape general preferences, I'd look for a phrasing that can't be taken for a call, as here, to ignore those factors.

Speaking as one who stands to benefit from such a rule, I also think that requiring 3rd party validation is a bad idea. First off, it's always a race to the bottom, and secondly, there are not enough qualified people in the world to look at everything.

I would, however, like to see a general rule requiring software and hardware makers to take "reasonable steps" to secure their products, and opening them up to liability if they do not. A few class-action lawsuits would go a long way towards encouraging everyone to put in a secure SDLC.
I've used myself, friends/family, a lawyer, my CPA firm, and one of the cheaper national services out there.

The best was my CPA firm, because they handle mail like clockwork and contacted me through email when I got something, even attaching a scanned copy. When it was a yearly report they'd even fill it out for me ($) and send it (after asking, of course).

I think some mom-and-pop mailbox stores might also do this (the ones that make it look like you have a real address and not a PO box, which I found helpful), so if you're looking to use them for a mailing address it might make sense to ask them about that as well.

With government paperwork, I've learned that "no news is good news". Unfortunately, that's entirely predicated upon the reliability of receipt of any news headed your way. The cheap service I used (LegalZoom) appears to have not forwarded me a couple forms. Granted, I should have been watching for the forms, and filled them out myself when I noticed I'd not been forwarded anything, but the whole episode still got my status set to "REVOKED" with that Secretary of State ($$$$).

I've also noticed that the business branch of my various Secretary of States (CA, CO, IL, IA, NJ, MN) have always been sufficiently helpful over the phone. They've given me plenty of advice and helped steer me through their respective jungles of paperwork. Yours might also have an opinion about any RA service you're considering.

While I agree that the headline is click-baity, and the stats are a bit suspect, I still want to see headlines like these in the mainstream press, because it raises questions about why MJ is classified as a Schedule-I drug after all?

I'm not a smoker (maybe once or twice a year, at most?). But the blatant lying by the government (that MJ has no medicinal value and is more dangerous than meth), which flies in the face of science, _and_ the governments prohibition on research, really bothers me. Are we a theocracy? Shouldn't we let science inform our decisions??

Edit: gah! I meant Schedule-I, not Schedule-III ! Edited.
Heh, this post resonates with me - Facebook's description of Flux drew a wtf when I first looked at the diagrams on https://facebook.github.io/flux/docs/overview.html#content with its weird terminology, but when I did some more further research into it, I found out that I had a lot of very similar patterns with my Angular code.

I think they should have chose some better terminology/words to describe the overall components, in this case I found the words shutting down my thought process on first glance.

Apparently every joint smoked causes four pregnancies. By this math, everyone please, give me a pat on the back, I've repopulated a small city. I suppose my lowered testosterone and enhanced aggression have made me super-virile, and I'm causing parthenogenesis all over without trying.

> you don't need anyone's permission for that.

Except in this case the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) permission. I spent a lot of time in Las Vegas and for the most part you just drove out into BLM land and it was fine. But if you have a group greater than a certain size it requires permits. The tickets process is a way for them to not exceed their permit limit of 50,000 people. Doing so would get them banned from getting permitted in the future.

That said, I'm rather surprised at this point that some tech billionaire hasn't bought a couple of thousand of acres of desert[1] and allowed it to be run there. But at some point the 'exclusivity' becomes its own value.

As a Marijuana addict, It has negatively affected mine, although that may be due to the underlying pschological problems that cause me to be an addict.

I find that with infrequent use, it is a legitimate psychedelic which can be very intense. It can however give one deep insights into your topic of study under the effects.

With frequent use the character of the drug changes, and it becomes almost a normal state, where I am, probably, slightly less functional than normal.

If I were abusing almost any other drug as much, I'd be looking at far greater cognitive damage, IMO.

As someone who has been in your shoes, I'm saying you're very much not a "hacker". You found a front-end weakness, exploited it, but the repercussions (if any) should be minor (ie tickets being kicked into the next sale for those who jumped the line).

In the grand scheme of things, this is as minor of an issue as it comes.

No, I mean sold. Renting is when you no longer own a product once you stop paying for it.

> A device without root, with locked bootloader, without the ability to install any software that you wish is not really sold.

It is. It's simply less valuable to someone who wants root, an unlocked boot loader, and the ability to install any software.

Sounds like an "eternally vaporware startup" to me. I've worked for one of those before. The work can be interesting at times as you feel the need to do something nobody else has done before. But then it never gets anywhere because the whole premise is based on things that are fundamentally unsound/impossible. My experience is then you get your pay cut by the CEO because you're not producing anything "of value", and then you get sued by the investors for the same reason (okay I've got my name on provisional patents that aren't based on reality, but I refuse to give them up after I quit, probably mostly out of spite). Still, I say get out while (if) you still can, and move on to better things.
Thank you! I just found and purchased a perfect domain for an idea I've had for a while.

For some reason, most of my projects start with a domain. I can't write code until I have a git repo. Can't make a repo until I have a directory. And I can't make the directory until I have a name. Which, of course, requires a domain name first...
I guess I don't see a problem with a tri-furcated system: 1) substantial damages per individual -- opt-in tort system, 2) diffuse damages that collectively add up to substantial wrongdoing -- government fines, 3) diffuse damages that don't collectively add up substantially enough to attract government attention -- reputational damage.

Etsy could — however — as Kickstarter has done, particularly w/r/t to hardware products — limit itself to a more narrow and carefully regulated set of goods. Even as the crowdfunding world has grown, Kickstarter has maintained it's reputation and growth by sticking closely to a set of arts-oriented values. It leaves the drivel to platforms like IndieGoGo — and doesn't stray too far from it's creative core, by banning charitable projects.

I suppose you could say that that limits their growth — but it also keeps em' awesome.

One of the things I didn't realize at first was the degree to which Relay/GraphQL appear to effectively replace a lot of Flux: http://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/02/20/introducing-...

There is no doubt at all that is affects short term memory when you are using it. The long term affects of cannabis use is difficult to study and there is the whole problem that the median scientific paper is wrong.
That's why I find "augmented intellect" so much more interesting as a concept than "artificial intelligence".

But if you put a human in charge of the creative part, and complement it with the automation capabilities that simplify the repetitive parts, the result is a win-win match combining the strengths of both.

I've never been a user, but I do support legalisation.

The reason I support it even though I myself wouldn't benefit is:

- It is at least as safe as tobacco and alcohol. So even if we leave the question of what is safer on the table, I think most people would agree based on available evidence that it isn't LESS safe than those two, and they're legal.

- The "war on drugs" has been a disaster. It has actually hurt economic growth, you have too many people in jail for trivial things, you leave a black mark on their file almost indefinitely making them unable to get a [good] job, you isolate them from society, you further push people into criminality, and the benefits of it are not clear if you ignore moralist arguments.

- We gain tax money from it being legal AND drug users aren't funding pretty horrifying criminality in countries like Mexico and Columbia.

- It has been shown to help with certain medical conditions (e.g. chronic pain, PTSD, etc). And while much more research needs to be conducted, it might be easier after legalisation as the permits needed are much easier to get.

However I will say my support for legalisation dropped quite a lot after reading how lightly "weed" users take smoking and driving. A lot of them seem to do it now and don't consider it a big deal, which I take a pretty dim view of. Unfortunately there isn't a very reliable test to see if someone is under the influence of anything other than alcohol.

People who drive under the influence of any mind altering substance (be it alcohol or weed) should have their driving privileges taken away or for repeat offenders they should literally go to jail for a period. It endangers their lives and the lives of other people on or near the road.
