Look, for most people here, we understand that something like the linux kernel took decades of man hours, if not a century by now. However, it's trivially easy to copy the result of those years of effort, even if the initial effort wasn't that easy, as I hint in my post. It turns out that such copying is legal and desired by the original authors, as it is much easier for them than it is for artist; still, it is a fact that the product is easy to reproduce while the act is not. This is at the heart of this whole conflict between the content-creators and the content-consumers today.

The matter of fact is that artificial[0] constraints on the product of such creations are the best method we have developed to ensure that the creators continue to be paid for their work, and I'm not sure of another, feasible way. Things like generous benefactors, be them individuals, institutions, or governments, are too few and not with enough capital to support enough creators without selling their products.

If anyone has a better idea, they could revolution history forever. Apart from Copyrights, Trademarks, and Patents, however, I know of no other way that will work.

[0]when I say artificial, I am speak matter-of-factly, not to offend anyone. The interesting thing is such talent and experience needed to produce such works is scarce, it's just the product isn't.

It's not a "diss" though, but a legitimate opinion on copyright which is found both in discourse and in law. Just because the author is opinionated and throws around rhetoric emotional words like "toxic" and "nihilistic" doesn't make his opinions any more supported.
With that experience under your belt, if the same thing happened again, would you do the same thing? Wait 'til you couldn't stand it anymore and then go off?
You aren't the first and you won't be the last person that gets hired and the client tries to get more work out of you. There are lots of other developers that would try to get more money out of the clients too. Its not one sided. Most people don't stick exactly to the contract. Developers try to get more money for performing less work, and clients try to get more work for less money from the developers. Are either of them "bullies"? Nope, they just protecting their interests. Everyone tries to get a better deal, there's nothing wrong with that.

BTW, nothing you wrote in your article seemed like he was "treating you like garbage". He was aggressive, and perhaps thats the way he works. He won't change until he gets push back. Terminating the contract was not push back, that was just quitting. He hired someone else, and lost nothing and learned nothing. He probably has a story about a Developer he hired to do work and after a couple days the developer blew up at him and quit.

In either case, you posted this online to share with others. Are you just sharing a story that happened to you? or are you trying to teach them something? Whats your goal? The way you wrote the story, it seems like it happened several years ago. Why are you still thinking about it? He was a jerk, you quit. So what?
It seems quite plausible to me. Think of it in terms of information theory. Each person is an unreliable channel, but there are hundreds or thousands operating in parallel. The net result is a reliable information transmission channel that stretches back many, many years.

As I understand it, the Aborigines have a strict oral tradition, so the passing down of these stories isn't a casual chat over a meal, but a formal education, where accuracy is paramount. Under these circumstances, the reliability of each individual ancestral line goes up, so when they are all operating in parallel, I'd expect the error rate to be quite low, errors in each generation being corrected by a majority vote.
While the slideshow seems aimed at creating something new, I think (hope?) that's more of a rhetorical device, because prototype-based OO goes back to Self, and even the language that introduced classes (Smalltalk) resembles this more strongly than the more common class-based OO languages (C++ and Java).

Lua is not really unique in following the same concept. Javascript and Python are also both based on the hash-with-blessed-class-member prototype-driven approach, even though they also both build class systems on top of it (JS more recently than Python).
It looks like Kevin Poulsen is involved? Given that he helped Adrian Lamo turn Chelsea (Bradley) Manning over to the feds for passing info to WikiLeaks, I'm not so sure how his involvement in StrongBox...

HTTPS Everywhere has a few important precautions in place, and would welcome suggestions or code contributions for others. One of these is reproducibility of the package build, so you can check out the source tree, verify the signed tag, and build the same byte-for-byte identical XPI file that is being distributed from EFF's web site. (I just did this for the 5.0.1 XPI and the files were the same, although my colleague who made that release notes that there is a still-incompletely-documented dependency on the libsqlite3 version.)

There are also scripts that indicate whether rules redirect to non-HTTPS targets and whether the rules contain non-ASCII characters (to avoid homoglyph attacks, like <rule from="^https?://www\.paypal\.com/" to="https://www.pаypаl.cοm/">).

Because of the challenges of parsing PCRE with backreferences, there are no scripts that check whether the target domains are the same as the source domains (and there have been a small number of rules that did intentionally rewrite to a different domain). These do get read by human beings before being included in the project, and traditionally new rules are included for months in the development release before being migrated into the stable release, but it would be a great thing if more human beings would check them, or help develop scripts that do so in new ways.

One idea that we've talked about in the past is to divide rules into simple and complex, and then single out only the complex rules for extra human auditing. (Simple rules would be syntactically constrained not to rewrite across domains.)

It's interesting to me that about 5 years ago John Carmack was talking up game streaming quite a bit in his annual QuakeCon talk. From what I remember he was pretty confident it would be the future of gaming at the time. However I'd love to know what went wrong and why game streaming as a whole has pretty much completely fizzled. Was it just too much hype and optimism that the technology would improve and latency wasn't an issue, or perhaps bad business models that doomed it from the start?

IMHO game streaming is pretty much doomed if the future of gaming is ultra low latency and high framerates for virtual reality. There's just no way a streamed game could work with Occulus Rift, etc. and have low enough input and display latency to be believable.

edit: I think it was his 2012 QuakeCon talk: https://youtu.be/wt-iVFxgFWk?t=3522

Why I keep fixing my bike
A shotgun is a point in the general direction and shoot kind of thing.

Now, I have to admit I haven't patterned any shotgun at close range, but everything I've read and seen says at home defense ranges you have to aim them with almost as much care as a rifle, the pattern expands rather slowly, even with cylinder choke (no choke). And I know from too much wingshooting that at range you have to be pretty precise as well.

A quick check with Google came up with http://www.theboxotruth.com/the-box-o-truth-3-the-shotgun-me... which doesn't fill me with confidence in the lack of interior house construction penetration of #4 buck. Note, per the above, that the pattern at 12 feet was 3.5 inches, which matches pretty well the 1 inch spread/yard metric I first read about in Patriot Games. And #4 buckshot is not a good perpetrator; if you're a Facklerite you want 16 inches (in case you have to shoot thought an arm to reach the vitals). Birdshot is obviously much more iffy.

As for intimidation, well, some people don't intimidate worth a damn, although I agree a Europellet dispenser is not a good choice unless their are other constraints; me, I stick with .45 ACP in M1911s (primarily because the gun has fit my hands like a glove since I was a teen).

It's true, in some areas of the US a shotgun is your best option because of restrictions on handgun ownership, but this is not true for the vast majority of the country, land and people. Like, outside of Hawaii? and several of the Northeast states.

No stock == not very accurate in most people's hands, negating the aiming advantages there while indeed mitigating to some degree the issues if it gets up close and personal. Me, I keep my police configuration with full length stock 870 in my safe, loaded with #1 buckshot, which all things being equal is 40% better than #00 (lots more pellets with sufficient penetration). I bought it while living in Massachusetts, one of those states where getting a handgun is difficult to impossible in the more urban areas, now I've got it mostly in case I need a literal riot gun.

And if, like in most of the nation (although absent a saving throw with the Supremes it looks doomed in California), you can carry concealed, there's a lot to be said for learning well only one type of gun, i.e. not just a particular semi-auto handgun model, but ones in a family that are more and less suited for carry and home defense, that have the same controls, ergonomics, etc. E.g. there's lots of models to choose from in the Glock family.

I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. However I also love the software the project produces. Especially when they release new versions of tools where whole features have been removed to fix bugs.

The only way to attempt to invalidate nfoz's words there in the way that you want to results in begging the question.

I interviewed at SeatGeek five years ago when they were a very small team. I was super intimidated at my first "startup" interview. No need to be; Jack and Russ were some of the nicest guys and interviewers. I remember after the interview they spent a bunch of time talking about the ways they had scripted Adobe Illustrator (I believe) to make the then very awesome, but now quite rudimentary, seat maps.

Really thought they had a great product on their hands and have used it quite a bit. They've done great work building both a great product as well as an engineering and product driven company.

I really hope this change Cuba is experimenting now will be for the better.
I do not get the impression that the “The GNU Make Book” has any substantial similarity with the freely available “Ask Mr. Make” articles – I get the impression that the book is a wholly new work, aimed at being a general manual for GNU Make. The title is especially clear in giving me this impression, but also the text describing the book on its home page gives me no reason to doubt my conclusion.

Anyway, whatever other good things jgrahamc may have done is immaterial, since I was not only speaking about him, but also about the general case and its consequences. Also, I did not say it was “unreasonable” of anyone to do this. I said that when anyone does something like what jgrahamc did, they take away some unknown amount of human and monetary resources from the authors of the actual software and the official manual, and I don’t think that this drawback is worth it to have a new & improved, but non-freely licenced, manual.
Name one service that does what they do (hint: the 3 companies mentioned in the article don't). And the web site is at least as important as the app.

Also, regulation is about as useful as enforcement. If you ain't in the US, enforcement is pretty weak and therefore you can get away with it MANY times.
That was due to the TLC NAND Samsung used, correct? More cost-effective but not as durable as MLC NAND (which is what most SSDs, including this new Intel drive, use).

Incidentally, while Samsung did release a firmware update for the 840 EVO to mitigate the problem, AFAIK they never fixed the original 840. (840 Pro owners need not worry, as it used MLC NAND and was not affected.)

Thanks for the information. It was helpful.
This is a very tricky situation it seems. I've never been party to infringement (on either side), but he explained pretty clearly why he outsourced this role. He has people legitimately using his work without license, so what's the problem with outsourcing enforcement? That said, I hear a story like yours and it freaks me out; I could be you some day. Maybe a "non-lawyer" system could exist, but without the threat of lawsuits, I suspect legitimate infringement situations would go ignored.
I think you might be confused about how bitcoin actually works.

If you want to change bitcoin's economics properties, you can. You just have to get all the nodes to agree with it. That is obviously very very difficult.

Bitcoin runs on a decentralized consensus system and uses this consensus as the truth. You can change that truth if everyone agrees with you.

In that sense, this is actually the true democracy.
