From Wikipedia: [Gulliver's Travels] describes an intra-Lilliputian quarrel over the practice of breaking eggs. Traditionally, Lilliputians broke boiled eggs on the larger end; a few generations ago, an Emperor of Lilliput, the Present Emperor's great-grandfather, had decreed that all eggs be broken on the smaller end after his son cut himself breaking the egg on the larger end. The differences between Big-Endians (those who broke their eggs at the larger end) and Little-Endians had given rise to "six rebellions... wherein one Emperor lost his life, and another his crown". The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. The Big-Endians gained favour in Blefuscu.

>But this same limitation exists in Android Wear and Pebble as well.

This is not true. Both pebble and androidwear allow developers to write native applications that run directly on the watch, and can continue operating without the tether to a phone. Without the phone they have no network connection which limits their potential a lot, but they can still access the sensors on the watch, record data, and provide interactions based on stored and sensor data.

I second that simply based what I've seen on InterConnect and my experience with IBM devs or Watson so far. What they do might be agile, but then, what everyone else does isn't.
it's worth pointing out that Quebec has no trouble at all living life as an "outsider" with respect to Canadian and north american "norms" ... i.e. no matter how "standard" uber becomes (or not) this will not be an argument in favour of adopting it.

there are a metric ton of examples of how life in quebec is bizarre compared to neighbouring provinces in Canada (and compared to the US)

No GPS though. I was hoping the watch would at least have that so I didn't have to put up with Garmin's terrible software anymore.

I expect that remote key amplifier attacks work against Tesla like they do against other cars. I wish automakers weren't in denial about this problem.
I understand the whole point of putting dbus into kernel was to fix performance. The objections are mainly because performance haven't really materialized but the costs are very much present.
Bethesda did not ask for the fix. They have no obligation to compensate them financially.

Also, the amount of work one developer did in 6 months modding the game is probably still only an insanely small fraction of the work that went into coding the game engine being used. Which is probably written by dozens of programmers for months if not years.

Not very surprising given that Quebec has the highest unionisation rate (~40%) among all Canadian provinces and U.S. states.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that all killings by police in 2014 were completely random and 100% malicious. Then my chances of being killed by police in the US during that year were about double my chances of getting hit by lightning in the US that year. It wouldn't even place on the list of things I'm frightened about.

Maybe we can agree on this: more transparency is needed. Resistance to transparency is very suspicious.

My point about US/UK police was not about police militarization. That is a different issue. Regular cops out on patrol every day in the US carry guns. Their counterparts in the UK do not. I believe US cops should carry guns because it's so easy for everyone else in the US to get guns, including the criminals they will encounter. A consequence of everyone (cops & crooks) having guns is that there will be more exchanges between them that involve lethal force. Another consequence of cops having guns is that they will use them whenever they believe at the time that lethal force is justified. Sometimes they will be mistaken.

Talk to your supervisor (or theirs) first!

They've spent the time to hire and ramp you up one their processes and code. Unless you're terrible at your job, they don't want you to walk away. So tell them that you're feeling burnt out because X, Y, Z and that you want to see if there's a way to make things more satisfying for you.

It's really sad when a good engineer leaves a team without having shared their concerns ahead of time. One of the most important and satisfying roles of a manager is to help in situations like this, but they can't do that if you don't give them a chance!

Agile the concept has worth. I've been successful with it.

But the term and phraseology have been co-opted by the PMI wonks to mean waterfall 2.0 -- The writing was on the wall as soon as "Certified Scrummaster" became a job requirement.

The honest truth is that I knew this was a bad client going in. I knew when things were starting to go south. In hindsight I should have been more aggressive leaving, I think my personal sense of loyalty to completing the contract interfered with accepting the warning signs that were being presented.

This Is the LG G4
Seriously, who instigates these fads? It's like every year there's some new business model that everyone follows like a bunch of lemmings. Last year (or the year before?) it was everyone working in the office (as opposed to at home) because someone at Yahoo! decreed that was the way to go.
As much as I loved the N900 for its system transparency and malleability (I still use it), it was hardly a paragon of performance. I don't know how much D-Bus played into it, though.
The LG G4
This sounds wrong to me.

The idea of the patent is (at leas in part) to protect inventor's investment. When someone spent significant effort researching and prototyping some useful device, it makes sense to pay a small sum for its legal protection from copycats.

If someone just stumbled upon an idea, without any plans to use it for profit and without sunk costs that one would like to protect, why grant a patent? Someone else could (and historically did) invent the same thing independently, and put it to actual use. Why impede the efforts of that latter person?

While we're at, it let me remind the idea of exponential patent fees.

A patent should require e.g. $100 to keep for the first year, $400 for the next year, $1600 for the third year, etc, quadrupling the cost each year. If you're on a gold mine like Singer's needle, or Edison's lamp, or a transistor, you have no trouble paying for that patent for 10 or maybe 20 years. If you patented something useful but minor, you can keep it patented as long as it makes financial sense, and then put it to public domain. If you're a NPE patent troll, you're toast in a really short term.
That's true, but they'll often report random match probabilities like "one in 930 sextillion", which are absurd.

Do you have a reference to the case you mention? I'd like to read the history of it.
Legally it wasn't free. But illegally it always was, at least it was as good as free.

In fact Microsoft itself wanted people to do it. Because if students and ordinary people pirate their OS, they will be trained to use it in everyday life. Later on, they would sell the OS to enterprises when the same people would eventually work there. That way they can always claim their OS was the most widely used OS in the industry.

Plus if they hadn't let people freely pirate their OS, Linux would have eaten their lunch big time.
Android Wear didn't have it at launch either. It took six months or so to release an official watch face SDK. People did immediately hack watch faces together by making an app whose UI was a custom drawn watch face animation, but that was a little clunky in that you had to have an app on your phone for the face, and some of them were pretty rough on the watch battery.

But yes, overall I agree. It's a bit surprising just how locked down it is. Especially when it's hard to see the gain from it. The Apple Watch seems to have a shorter (or at least not longer) battery life than most of the Android Wear models that allow taxing the watch battery to do quite a lot more stuff.

Because the "patent" in that situation would have no presumption of validity. Nobody would loan you money based on it. You couldn't tell how much protection you had from competitors.

> Taking just the consumer viewpoint "yay, free roaming!" is naive.

There is a very simple point to this legislature: It says that every operator will have to sell it's network at a fixed wholesale rate to every other operator. So none of your objections apply. Roaming will be free, because it's the law.

Plus, prices won't rise, since wholesale rates are fixed, and there will be more competition. In other words, German Telekom will have to compete with Finland for price, and thus can't afford to raise it's prices for fear of losing customers to Finland.

There are substantial areas in Wyoming where ATT and Verizon don't even have voice coverage (I guess neither do Sprint or TMobile, but I didn't check those 2). ATT maps pretty much the entire coverage of Wyoming as third party.

I think it is impossible to calculate with publicly available data, but the interesting statistics would compare the networks directly in terms of infrastructure costs for new coverage (perhaps divided over the number of new customers in that coverage, but coverage has, uh, network effects) and infrastructure costs being spent on enhancing service levels in already covered areas.

More: Presumably, higher costs to add coverage to new people would indicate more complete coverage. The presumption being that a business is investing in the more profitable coverages first, so the later areas have a higher cost per customer accessed.
That's not even remotely accurate.

Nearly the entire US population is now covered by AT&T and Verizon. Most major metros have four or five carriers to choose from.

Here, take a look at Sprint's coverage map:

https://coverage.sprint.com/

T-Mobile has a 4G LTE network that covers ~80% of the US population and about 300 metro areas.

The fact is, most Americans have at least four major carriers to choose from, that offer competitive national plans.

The US wireless infrastructure has been far out in front of the European wireless infrastructure in terms of development.

We had 97% 4G LTE coverage across 320 million people before Europe got to even half coverage.

Further, the US system is accelerating in quality rather than slowing down, thanks to intense competition between AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint. I don't see where the EU or Europe as a whole has anything like it.
The Murky Origins of “Moore's Law”
Ouch. My heart goes out to all those men and women at IBM who are about to get "Agiled".
In my experience, "rapid prototyping" is an euphemism for "hacking some shit together". Once a product is perceived to be complete, management will insist to keep adding to it incrementally instead of discard any part of it.

They will also avoid allocating time/resources to fix modules that are known to carry significant technical debt. Only until said technical debt begins to cause severe problems any official attempt to address the issue will be done.

In the mean time, savvy senior engineers will fight a guerrilla war to keep technical debt at bay. They will require, incremental improvements to be carried out in parallel with bug fixes and new feature development, typically whenever you touch a file/function known to be in a bad shape. This is more or less OK, but can result in an irrational fear in the team to change stuff for any non-essential reason, eventually defeating its own purpose.

At the end, I always assume that whatever code, no matter how crappy, I get to commit into the source control system, will eventually find its way to our customer's machines. No matter what claims of temporarility are made by people, if it gets out of your localhost, it will be promoted to officialdom in no time.

Actually, that analogy breaks down too.

And it does for obvious reasons all related to the difference between physical things and information.

This is an information conversation, not a physical one.

Two things:

1. Infringing is wrong. You seem to be attempting to sell me on that it's wrong.

No need for that. It is. Well, until it isn't, and that's up to the content creator really. Some choose to allow infringing uses and will actually source them, thus transforming them into non-infringing uses more than they are infringing ones, and they get value for doing that.

It's important that model be possible. See Doctorow, Lessig, et al. for how and why that works.

Some content creators are opposed, and infringing on them is wrong.

But how that actually works is where the discussion is.

Sometimes we allow infringing for fair uses, despite opposition from content creators too.

The dialog is more subtle than these "it's wrong" physical analogies account for, and where that continues to be true, we have an incomplete discussion, and with that, an ongoing mess and I submit, non-optimal revenue and opportunity for same.

2. Where we are clashing and that is information does not operate on the same terms as physical things do. You seem to be attempting to get me to equate the two, and I'm just not gonna do that.

They aren't the same and they don't operate in the same ways.
(standard disclaimer - I do not speak for IBM. I'm not even a current employee)

We were doing this at big blue seven years ago IIRC, and while it's a large company to transition like this, I don't think it's exactly new.

It's not quite agile as the writers of the agile manifesto would have it, but then most 'agile' seems beset by consultants and process, and IBM probably do it better than a bunch of other places I've worked.

Yes, but before media had a severely limited distribution system compared to the internet and it was media consolidation that led to easy censorship of certain issues. Now it's open and sucks in completely different ways that is probably more to the way people pay for media or don't than spies.

Well, FWIW Vancouver is just as backwards as Montreal in this regard, we don't even have Uber.
Seriously impressed with the amount of work you've put into it... I didn't want to otherwise detract from your work, but it is a good idea to declare which 3rd party dependencies do exist just so that anyone forking it can be aware of this and ensure that they vendor it (using whatever their preferred method is).

I'd probably opt to change the phrasing to be clear that you're using these other libs, simply because they are well-proven, have a lot of mindshare, and that you're standing on the shoulders of giants and bringing it all together in an out-of-the-box server that people can immediately use is actually a great story.

Can confirm. Rising tuition in Ontario? "Meh, part of inflation". Rising tuition in Quebec? "I DONT UNDERSTAND! WE NEED TO RIOT!"
I'm not sure exactly what this says about the culture and business norms of Montreal, but while there for PyCon, I noticed that the number of police seemed to have increased at least 10x from last year at the same time.

There is a great deal of political upheaval centered at UQAM, apparently mostly related to issues of pension promises broken for public workers. This is the ostensible reason to have so many more police and police substations, but I have to believe that it has other cultural effects as well.
I can't foresee GPS being a standalone component on watches due to battery drains. Garmin's watch currently gives me 10 hours on GPS, but that's also due to the fact that all it does is track my run.

You cut off the rest of my sentence to say what the rest of my sentence said. Well except I missed android wear having native apps. But I still think my point is valid; you're still limited without the phone just a little less so and some apps, like running apps, really need the GPS on the phone to function well on Android Wear anyway.

This hasn't really much to do with science.

Golden rice was planned to address the problem of a (almost) rice-only diet leading to vitamin-a deficiency. This completely ignores the other effects of such a imbalanced diet. Eating different kinds of food is like the number one recommendation of food scientists.

The next step would be replacing the varieties of rice grown by golden rice. This includes the difficulty of distribution. This is really notable because one of the reasons for the project is that it's seen as too hard to distribute other sources of vitamin A (like pills) in those regions. There also might be a reduction of genetic diversity.
The Real Reason Women Only Earn 18% of CS Degrees
Working with raw binary data, like having it represented as hexadecimal pairs per byte? That is an interpretation. Having some representation for each bit in the group is still an interpretation, regardless if you consider those bits individually or in groups forming masks. "Reading" that binary content is by representing it in some form or another and interpreting it as such. Like I said, humans read interpretations of that binary data.

P.S.: You are a bad judge of characters. I worked on low-level code (microcontrollers programming, for a living).

> Does anybody know why it costs a fee to submit a patent? Wouldn't it be much more fair to small inventors if we could just submit a patent for free, and the moment we'd like to exert that patent in a court, we'd pay for its examination?

No, since the whole point of that patent system is to have these examined, reviewed, and notice publicly provided so that people can do business without having to resort to litigation (sure, with the implicit threat of litigation in the background, but examination and patent grants are supposed to provide a degree of clarity.)

Admittedly, that process doesn't work well in all too many cases, but it would make the system orders of magnitude worse if instead of having an in-advance examination process we just had a series of patent applications hanging around waiting for litigation to start to provide an excuse for them to be examined.
That's pretty much exactly what I meant.

I certainly agree that freedom isn't absolute: there are more of less degrees of competition in a market. However that doesn't preclude supply/demand setting values for things.
I hear what you're saying. People use the words interchangeably, but in this context, I think there's an important distinction between fair and reasonable:

- Fairness is a moral judgment.

- Reasonableness is a logical argument.

That's why I argued that Valve's taking 30% is reasonable but not necessarily fair.
