Bad choice of words.. maybe "perspective" more than the suspicion that "grain of salt" implies, but the point being that meds aren't terribly effective anyways, so something that's nearly as effective of them is.. somewhat less impressive.
While the speed of change is good for these issues, could that speed be detrimental in other scenarios? For example, what if this increases the speed to reverse good policies, such as carbon emissions taxes? What if the speed of change from political influence of much larger entities (corporations) also increases the influence to reverse things even faster?

> People that derive from GPL source have to release those changes to the public

This is entirely not true. If I take a GPLed application, download it, modify it, and never distribute it, then I am under no obligation to release the source.
The GPL requires you to distribute source code in addition to binaries. If you don't distribute binaries (i.e. if you're running the code on your server farm only), then you don't have to distribute anything.
No, no they don't. There are currently very few crimes that don't involve killing someone that can receive capital punishment in the US, and their constitutionality has never been tested because no one has been sentenced to death for them.
A Comparison of 5 Uniprocessor OS Scheduling Policies
JavaScript and Type Thinking
I think the F-35 isn't real, that all the videos of it are CGI, and that all these reports are supposed to convince us that this money has been lost, all while the government is secretly using the entire F-35 budget to build a flock of flying drones, walking and talking robots, and rail guns for the next major war.

I have to believe such contrivances to avoid thinking about how my tax dollars are wasted.
You can ask all copyright holders of the code since the code was GPL'd to relicense the code under a different license (BSD presumably). If only one declines you can't use their code and anything based on it.
Right, a mixture of that, and a few others:

- Criminal records / record of conduct
- Tracking by various advertising companies, market research, etc.
- Whatever records NSA, FBI etc. keep on you. This doesn't even have to be a file-per-person, but they have your metadata, and if you stick out, you might come under closer scrutinty.

The difference is that these sources are not pulled together. Also as a sibling post noted, there is no feedback to the citizens. I don't know whether I have a bad or a good score with the police. I hope I have a good score :-). But if you want to consciously change citizens behavior, you'd have to tell them their scores. (Well, what we do right now changes citizens behavior by scaring them, but thats a different issue.)

One thing I find curious is that there is apparently no sensitivity among the inventors of this scheme towards how dystopian it sounds like. That's why you can have big posters in China saying things like "Friends! Be virtuous and vigilant!" or a Hong Kong official saying something in earnest like "if the brain is sick, it must be washed" with regards to school textbooks. There are PSAs and government posters in the US, too, and people try to push their agendas in school curriculums there, too... but for one they would not go quite as far in the US, and especially such manipulation is attempted much more tastefully.

Consultants essentially. There's also some IT development going on by actual EU employees, but the projects I listed above are usually won through tenders often submitted as a joint project by multiple companies/organisations (research partners - i.e. universities -, development partners - i.e. big companies - + public partners - often for demo purposes) although the EU also funds some purely research oriented projects of course.

The point I think Theo is trying to make is in the open source world you simply have to expect that people will take code - put it under a different licence and modify it - restricting their ability to take back the modified code into OpenBSD.

Typically OSS licences allow and tolerate "selfish" behaviour. I don't think I or he needs to back up this claim with examples.
How does this not violate the Eighth Amendment: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Automatic loss of job with no recourse can be seen as both an excessive fine and a cruel punishment.

In other news, a friend's wife here in Australia was an XO at a Navy training base. He told me that the base brought in a 'soccer card' system where the recruits could card the drill sergeants and make them face disciplinary action. This didn't take long to completely undermine the ability to make the recruits learn anything and waste the CO's time with meaningless disciplinary hearings, and was turfed out in short order.
No, the other one!
Complexity is not synonym with intentional or unnecessary obfuscation. The latter is just a silly way to create needless barriers to the understanding of the work.

I'd like to say that I can't speak much for books. Like I said I don't read heavy classics nor do I spend dozens of hours analysing a text, but I sometimes do with music. Part of the pleasure I get from listening to classical music is from the aesthetic beauty and pleasantness of the sound, but a larger part is perhaps from re-listening to it and analysing it and discovering new things and meaning in the music. I have pieces that I have listened probably over 50 times, and still I can find new intricacies, or read an analysis that calls my attention to details I have missed, or simply just marvel at the ingenuity of some passage, etc.

For me, analysis isn't a boring procedure that sucks the fun out of art. Much to the contrary, it enhances and deepens my experience beyond what I would have by reading the book/listening to the piece and then putting it aside forever.

China has long been a "face" orientated society. This is traditional to varying extents throughout the world, with (parts of!) the US probably being at the other end in terms of extreme individualism.

Once you keep dossiers on people, it's natural to want better dossiers. This is just an extension and a centralization of technology that in the was is used to mould people's consumerist behaviour by rating their purchasing habits and credit. In the US there are reports of people being unable to access jobs if they have poor credit or healthcare if they have poor "lifestyles".

Dehumanisation is very easy: you reduce people to statistics, and then give those tasked with maintaining the system the objective of increasing certain statistics. The overall question of "is this just?" is hard to see and hard to discuss.
ScriptEd is a great program and if I worked for a company that did internships I would definitely try to bring one of their students on for the summer.
It should be clear that the obvious notion of uniformity is the intended one. I.e., it should be uniform with respect to the usual Lebesgue measure on the sphere.

And your method is extremely complicated. You can solve this problem with 5 lines of code and no data structures.
I'm not saying you're wrong (I really don't understand the science behind the thing; at least not enough to form an opinion worth any consideration) but I'm curious how they would get $60M in total funding without this being a product that can be sold and used in the home.

I'm very curious what happens when or if they launch.
The most important part of a code review is the why, not the how.

It's pretty easy to implement pre-commit checks that would validate and enforce style and certain lint checks - many companies have these. No automatic check will make sure that the right problem is being solved with the right approach, though.

What would the "real CPU from MIPS" be, and how much difference would that make...? Loongson is a licensed design.

As for compilers, neither ARM's nor Intel's compiler were used for the other CPUs, so I think that's a fair comparison. ...and I thought one of the reasons to choose a very simple RISC like MIPS was that its simplicity made compiler optimisations easier?

Hey all - Manish here. Happy to answer questions in this thread too.
My best guesses are:

1- The GPA, I actually didn't understand what it meant?! Most people are used to the 4.0 scale and also it's pretty strange that you can actually get more points than the maximum! 0.86 out of 0.7!

2- I guess there should be more elaboration on your problem solving skills and why they should hire you.

Regarding the other "naive" things that others had mentioned about being Egyptian or your name and so on. This is surely NONSENSE and there are tons of counterexamples to this claim. Many Egyptian students whose names are Ahmed, Mohammed and even Islam made it to not only one but to many companies in the US!

More often than not, he wasn't referring to contributions in the FSF sense (i.e. people modifying code that they don't send back to the original authors). He simply meant that many of the institutions that run and use OpenBSD, which is available entirely for free, don't give anything in return - be it in the form of code, money, documentation or promotion. Another free license solves only a small proportion of this problem.
I've seen similar projects -- if you told them how pointless spending money on such assessments is, and they still want it, then it shouldn't be your problem. Also, there's still a chance that they have some backup or privately shared files up there that DirBuster or similar software could find.

It's basically "New Deal"-type spending that is acceptable to the right wing (which, for the most part these days, includes the Democrats). The economy is in shambles, so you have to do something about it. But fixing the economy would involve breaking from your orthodoxy and upsetting your wealthy sponsors. So what do you do? Pay the unemployed to build killing machines, everyone loves those.
> But you can just add more drones. 2 people planting 36k trees per day is no small feat.

According to GP:

>> Chinese mainland reforestation programme plan was 4 mln ha/year 20 years ago.

>> So, drones can plant, say pine seedlings with density of 4 thousand/ha (which is IMHO insufficient), which gives capacity of just 9 ha/day

Suppose 180 working days a year that would give:
4 * 10^6 / (180 * 9/2) ~= 5000 operators

That doesn't actually sound too bad, not sure how many drones per operator are counted for in the 36,000 trees per 2 operators with multiple drone numbers.

One a side note this could still be well above the cost of human labor in third-world countries.
Back when I did this a few times a year, 20oz soda bottles made the best boom. 2-liter bottles couldn't take as many PSI and water bottles... well, they're not designed to contain pressure. They'd fail at the cap, usually.

That may no longer hold, since 20oz bottles feel flimsier these days and all have low-profile caps. Haven't tried in a while.

Also, PVC pipe burried in ground, drop dry ice bomb in, drop another bottle with some water in it on top = dry ice mortar. Those little plastic bubble things that toys in vending machines come in? A little dry ice, a little water, close it, place lid down. POP, the bubble part flies a meter or so in the air.

I will note for anyone trying this that the parent's ratios are very different from what I used. Crushed dry ice to 1/10-1/8 full, about twice that much water. Unusually warm water (say, from near the surface of a pond or lake in late August) will greatly reduce time-to-boom, so beware. Too little water and it'll freeze before boom, greatly delaying or even preventing it. Very annoying. Attaching to something heavy (but NOT shrapnel-genrating) and sinking in ~5-10 feet of water is fun. Huge bubble, explosion can be felt on land nearby.
