Comparing wearing a seat belt to driving a motorcycle is not really a fair comparison. One is used for safety and the other is a transportation device. If the comparison is between cars and motorcycles then clearly cars are safer. If the comparison is between safety devices then seat belts are better than helmets if you are in a car but worse if you are on a motorcycle.

Without getting too preachy about DRM itself... the need for computing tools that exist outside of the fictitious corporate-goverment-legal structures dominated by power and money are essential to ensuring human freedom in a digital world. As we choose and are forced to have more of our lives moved into this realm, it becomes more relevant every day.

Many people do not care about those things, and prefer Netflix et al over such matters, or perhaps have never looked closely at the issue. Mozilla has (had?) a tradition and reputation for caring about this. I suspect that many of us would prefer them to go even further, such as not implement the feature at all in protest.

That's not useful at all.

You need a baseline of art, and then you need to tweak the animations to match your video game. A model may not have a "double-jump" animation but you can easily add one through bone manipulations with any 3d model.

But if a sprite-sheet were missing the double-jump animation? You're either doing it yourself (hard pixel art style) or hiring someone else to do it.

For what ever reason I never 'clicked' with the UX of the 808 or the 909. I ended up with the Alesis sr-16 and then later a drum sound module unit. For me, it wasn't until I could program it from my computer that I felt I could tap some of its expressiveness.
It's hard to come up with a system of assessing property values that doesn't have flaws.

If you used the last sale price and didn't adjust, people who bought 30 years ago would benefit unfairly. If you used the sale price and adjust annually, how do you do it? By inflation, by average country/state/city/neighborhood increase in sale prices, etc.? Each has problems. If you hire people to assess the current market value, they can be bribed or make mistakes.

I really like property taxes as a way to fund government, but determining the value of something like a house/condo is actually a bit tricky.

Totally fair feedback. We'll work on it.
“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.”

"He said he wants to be able to learn calculus"

If he doesn't know anything about calculus, it is unlikely that is his true goal. You should probe him to find out what he thinks knowing calculus will bring him. Does he want to program games? Get a good score for math in school? Did his parents promise him a car if he does well in school?

"(I guess what's presented in a typical first year of calc in college)."

I rest my case :-) if your guess turns out to be wrong, your help may teach him calculus, but won't make him happy.

"He's a junior in HS."

I don't understand. If he is a junior in high school, he should already know quite a bit of math, shouldn't he? What am I overlooking?

You cut off the quote too early:

The "average" means they're not taking the high or low for the day, but it's definitely warm days, not warm climates.

I don't know Boz, but having known others like him, I would say that many didn't actually violate the golden rule; people who are efficient and brash often not only don't mind, but expect others to act the same way.
The high rent is deliberate policy. You are kinda missing the point. The reason NYC is safe now whereas it was a war-zone in the 80s is all the criminals had to move away because of higher rent. The government deliberately got rid of most of the section 8 housing and constricted the supply of cheap apartments. They want to price people out.
Nope? Who would rent property for less than it costs to carry it? If you want to speculate on real estate there are much better ways than renting to low-income tenants below cost.

Speaking of Econ 101, when taxes shift the supply curve, what happens next? Some renters are priced out, others get less house for more money. Under no circumstance does some fat-cat middle man reach into their own pocket to help a brother out.

> I imagine a single "blade" would be moved less by the same amount of wind, but there are probably plenty of factors I'm not considering.

Modern wind turbines have a cut in wind speed of maybe 3.5m/s and my guess is that these wind masts don't have a cut-in speed. So in low wind resource regions they may be effective at capturing market share because they can produce electricity with only a slight breeze.

> I imagine scaling these up you have some pretty crazy engineering problems to overcome, like how to deal with the repeated strain at the base.

Modern turbines have plenty of vibrations that the tower and foundation have to deal with. I was in the nacelle of a wind turbine when a surprise small tornado came to town, we were full on rodeo mode with the tower swaying back and forth. That being said on a day to day basis most of the forces are countered with the rotating mass (someone else can explain this better than I) so the turbine doesn't transfer much horizontal load to the foundation.

With the wind mast there would be most horizontal load on the foundation as there is not another blade or two to counteract the motion and thus it would require a larger foundation.

If you want to buy a 4kw turbine you can find one used for under $7k which is much less than this new technology. As better 3 bladed tech comes online there will be a larger second market for used turbines and thus might be a better economic option then buying unproven new wind mast technology. Pairing used or new wind tech to batteries can really benefit the offtaker depending on the marketplace.

Totally agree with the premise of this article. Being kind involves being empathetic and putting yourself in the other person's shoes. Most times, this involves taking a step back and not reacting in the moment (to the best of one's ability). Passion can be a good thing, but not without restraint and self-awareness.
There's a third type: the engineer who is outstanding but is addicted to being perceived as brilliant, so they layer extra arrogance on top, never conceding points, overstating facts and contributions, etc. to make themselves appear even more brilliant. When I encounter these types, I think to myself "If you just didn't feel compelled to overstate things, you'd be truly awesome."
And this is almost three years before the huge traffic jam that occurred when they went from pay-per-hour to unlimited: http://thisdayintechhistory.com/12/01/aol-goes-unlimited/
They explain the possible A/C confound like this:

“We don’t know what the kid is doing 2 hours before the test implementer arrives at the house, it’s quite possible the kids are outside,” he says. “It’s quite possible these kids are exposed to some heat even if they can then come in and cool off.”

I actually had a different and precisely contradictory explanation: the test-takers on hot days were more likely to be in heavily air-conditioned environments and thus the air in the test-taking environment is too cold (and dry, and probably mouldy).

It's certainly an interesting effect but they need to do a lot more work to establish the cause.
Laws are not claims, so "inconsistency implies falsity" is irrelevant in the context of law, however accurate it might be in terms of the truth values of a collection of claims.

(And, anyhow, what actually is being discussed isn't actual consistency or inconsistency in the law, but the ability to construct a consistent set of principles supporting the law that is more general than the specific laws that the principles support. The issue isn't that the laws at issue are actually inconsistent, is that the author feels that the specific laws should be justified by more general principles than the laws themselves, and that (for the laws in question) those principles should address only the degree of danger of the activity, and the more general principles the author infers from each of the laws in question, based on the premise that the justifying principle must consider only safety, are when taken together, are inconsistent. This isn't really about consistency, its about whether the actual content of the law fits a particular preference of the author which involves more than just logical consistency.)
Blame Netflix for this garbage. And if you use their service, you can stop as well.
Apparently DRM doesn't work on Linux, yet - but either way: how can DRM even work with Free software? If I can modify the source and build my own version, surely I can [make a version of the software that] strip out the DRM? Would that make Mozilla liable as facilitating breach of the DMCA?

Or is the DRM bit really in a binary blob supplied with the gpu/audio driver? [And support in the browser is just to facilitate shipping the data to the correct api entry point]

1. He wanted to be 100% sure about the data and not rush it, especially if it could be an error with the instruments

2. He has funding for other projects that needed to be worked on in the mean time, and didn't have a lot of time to devote to this work (this can make #1 take longer)

Startup Noob Guide (for people asking you to be their CTO)
Two of my favorite quotes about being 'nice' come from the musical, Into The Woods.

The first is Red Riding Hood's quip, "Nice is is different than good", which is then fleshed out later by the witch: "You're so nice. You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice. I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right."

I think "kind" and "good" are reasonable synonyms here, and Boz and Sondheim express very similar sentiments.

pretty irrelevant. FB is a publicly traded company, and as such, it's pretty easy to see how much a social user is 'worth' in revenue terms. Instagram turned on ads, and so will whatsapp, perhaps. but ya, we have a pretty good understanding what social users are worth when monetized by social ads. And the value is influenced by future growth.
> Today, I see similar reactions to leading edge technologies and languages that are difficult to understand, whether they be FP, Rust, or Haskell.

I wouldn't lump all three together just because they may happen to be somewhat difficult to understand. I see your point regarding FP (and Haskell happens to be an FP language). However, Rust is a multi-paradigm language, just the way C++ is. Time and time again in my day job, I see issues in our code that Rust would have prevented at compile time (and we're not using C++).
There's a lot I want to unpack, here. I don't think you're wrong overall -- in a work environment, for example, you want to select for people who are able to take criticism in an effective, objective, and non-judgmental manner. That's a minimum bar of level-headedness you should have for people that you interact with regularly, as a general rule.

However, when you open with, "this is also incredibly exhausting", it indicates to me that either a) you find yourself surrounded with an unhealthy amount of hyper-sensitive people, or b) there might be more to the "be kind" methodology that you have yet to internalize. I carried around this attitude for most of my life, and just recently am I coming to understand that truly internalizing kindness, the way the OP describes, is not "exhausting" in any way, shape, or form (unless you have kids. Children break this rule in half).

Another thing that sticks out is "if you're fighting for your living". I agree that, if you're truly fighting for your living, kindness and compassion should take a backseat to climbing Maslow's hierarchy to the point of comfortable reflection. Given that your english seems to be good and you're posting highly articulate opinions on an Internet forum, I'd be very surprised if your line of work forced you to reject kindness as part of your job, and I urge you to consider a new line of work if at all possible.

There's nothing in Mozilla's mission statement[0][1] incompatible with Eich's personal beliefs.

> You personally, the guy typing the letters into this box, what do you think the outcome of such a "negotiation" would be if it were as successful as humanly possible?

I think it would have been adults acting like adults and accepting you don't have to agree with somebody in order to work with them. Eich already demonstrated he was willing and able to do just that.

From 1998 when Eich co-founded Mozilla to 2005, after seven years as the chief technologist and member of the board, how did he misuse his power? From 2005 to 2014 while Eich was Mozilla's CTO, was Mozilla hostile to the LGBT community? How many discrimination lawsuits did Mozilla have to settle because of him?

Eich spent 16 years at or near the top of the Mozilla, yet there's no pattern of discrimination, not only is there no pattern I've been unable to find any evidence whatsoever that he was unable to set personal differences aside. Worse yet for your case is that Eich helped build a very inclusive company where LGBT persons have always been, from what I can tell, quite welcome.

Simply enough in HTTP2: lift out the relevant parts of the response body—turn them into separate resources and refer to them in the original object by their URL. When the client then requests those dependent objects, deliver them uncompressed. (And server-hint/push the dependent objects if you can, of course.)
> it seems like legal users would be unaffected and not even notice it.

Yes, just like Sony said in response to the rootkit scandal – "Most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"

DRM is a declaration from the publishers that they distrust you so much that they must be granted absolute control over your machine. You can't retain higher privileges over your own machine than they have, or else you would be able to circumvent their system and it wouldn't work.

Why would you trust someone who has declared themselves your enemy to run arbitrary code with root privileges on your machine?
