I agree. I figured it'd be pretty simple to do, especially for the iOS/Android versions.
I am pretty sure 3D metallic sinter machines will replace many (not all) CNC mills/turns (incl 5 axis) machines in the industry in a few years. Some car manufacturers of expensive sport cars already use them to create whole parts of the cars engine and its exhaust system. It allows them to print them complex metallic parts including moving gears all in one step without any assembly or finishing step at all - something that would require multiple parts and many human work hours using CNC mills/turns.

Source: I have background in these field as well.
Yeah, this is really about stifling competition. You notice whenever they add licensing requirements that kind of stuff is always grandfathered in. If it were really about health and safety existing practitioners would be required to take the same classes.

If it's patent free, why are people paying for it as I linked to? NSA paid for it and are specific that it applies to FIPS 140-2 solutions. Companies were paying Certicom for it. As far as a few years ago, an article gripes about how much Blackberry charges for it. Just weird that it doesn't apply to anything yet companies and governments were all paying for it.

If something has changed, I'd like the definitive answer to come from legal experts (esp aforementioned companies' lawyers) who say the 100+ patents no longer apply to anything we use and they all stopped paying for ECC. Haven't seen it. I'll continue to warn people until (a) I see that contrary reports acknowledge the existence of 100+ patents that companies are actually paying for rather than falsely claim no patents exist and (b) show why all of them never applied or no longer apply to existing ECC schemes. Got a link to that?
It's easy, but lazy, to look at regulations and say "this is obviously a bad idea." It's harder and more rewarding to think, "what are the forces that generate these regulations, and how can we change those forces?"

One explanation is that they're oriented towards businesses that tend to be sole proprietorships with super low capital requirements - anyone can potentially start running tours or cutting hair or interior decorating, without even renting a storefront. So, those kinds of businesses have much more of an incentive to use legislation to restrict entry, rather than relying on more "inherent" economic barriers. Relatively speaking, they have a higher payoff to lobbying than, say, a pizzeria that needs to invest a lot in ovens, rent, and payroll - if you can afford those, you can afford to either take Pizza Making 101 under a licensing regime, or more realistically fight the licensing regime itself.

How do you change that pattern given a democracy that responds to lobbying? Frankly I'm not sure, but trying to figure it out has a higher payoff than complaining about it.
Ah, a Monarch EE series lathe. Those are still available.[1] The newer models have a variable-speed AC motor and a digital readout, but are otherwise the same. The speed control system went through many generations, starting as a huge hydraulic transmission and going through motor-generator and thyratron versions. (High-power adjustable-speed motors were hard to do before semiconductors.) There were lots of variations in WWII versions, depending on parts shortages. Flat belts, V-belts, different speed controls, different materials for non-critical parts like data plates - that sort of thing.

The Monarch EE series begin in 1939. The later model shown came out in 1944-1945.[2] The one shown has a 1945 date on its data plate.

It's not specific to the Manhattan Project. Those things turned many high-precision parts during WWII.

The original slogan "It is better to reject a good candidate than hire a bad candidate." specifically says to make that fallacy.

As long as good candidates are rare, and bad candidates have a small-but-nonzero chance of tricking you into hiring them, it's very expensive to pass on a good candidate.

Even if you pass on 50% of the good candidates (no matter how many bad ones trick you), you're doubling the amount of time you're spending interviewing.

The only way to be sure about how many "good" candidates your are missing is to hire some random percentage of the people who fail your interview. Only a large tech company would have the resources to do that, and I'm not sure if it would be ethical, or even get the employer in legal trouble.

NO employer knows how many good candidates they miss out on, which makes this analysis very difficult.

Also, I question the ability of most employers to evaluate employees AFTER they are hired, so any analysis of post-interview performance might just be reinforcing whatever biases are present.

Also, candidates fall into THREE groups: great, mediocre, and toxic. The catch is that the toxic ones are most likely to trick you into thinking they're great. That makes it even more expensive to pass on a good candidate.

Self Hosted Git Service Written in Go
I quit earlier this year and the unreality is huge. I cringed every time minimum wage came up for the last year or more because of the libertarian "they should just get better jobs!" crap that followed, or explanations of how people on low incomes are really making a ton of money off welfare payments. More work-specifically, I was constantly arguing over design decisions that treated bandwidth and connectivity as unlimited. I was in a meeting where someone suggested that since everyone in the room knew how x worked, we could assume it was general knowledge. Some of these people walked out of college 5 or 20 years ago straight into a job making six figures in Redmond, and that's not just all they know, its all they care about.

Also, I agree with his whole section on managers. In my six years there, I officially had maybe 15 managers? Four of them were great and if I went back, it would probably be under one of them. It wouldn't be worth the risk to go back and work for a new manager unless they came highly recommended by a friend. The personality cult effect is still real - I'm even doing it myslef above, but for a high level example look at the people who have followed Terry Myerson for years. I'm not sure I see this as negatively as he does - a good manager is hugely important in making the job worth having, so once you find one, you try and stay with them if it works for you.
Ah, _you_ can be violent at any time. You can go get a gun with a five minute waiting period or go to the kitchen for a knife or find a blunt object and go be as violent as your pretty little heart desires. Of course the rest of us may react strongly to your violence but that is, of course, as it has always been. Your freedom to be violent ends where our freedom to be violent begins.

Or perhaps you mean violence === an expectation of pro-social behavior.
Aside from the fact that Aphyr showed basic replication to be flawed, as far as I know Cluster isn't even designed to be consistent across partitions.

The announcement page you linked to doesn't let me copy any text on iOS, but he's basically saying that if you get a partition and resolve it, the merge algorithm used is prone to data loss.

But it still seems like pattern recognition based on a training set only, which is, in my opinion, a task on a lever prior to intelligence, like what visual cortex does. It cannot make new reference between words to produce (infer) new antonyms and analogies (not presented in a training g set), which is intelligence.

This is basically solved by franchising, but that also adds cost to the producer.

But whatever model you chose it puts the responsibility of informing yourself about the safety of your options on the consumer.

People like when their choices are "safe by default" so they like regulation, even if it doesn't accomplish what it states as long as it appears to be effective it's going to be supported. I can't really decide if that's bad or not, in most cases the safety will be there anyway and if it inspires the consumer confidence it allows the economy to function more efficiently.

I think one way Twitch could lose me is if YouTube figures out discovery. I cut the cord and as odd as this sounds I will plop down on the couch with dinner and check out what's on Twitch. The UIs I see are focused on popular games as opposed to what might be most interesting (to me) going on right now.
Basically, because Wizards of the Coast came up with the core concepts of the pay-to-win money treadmill game 15 years before the App Store launched--low cost to start playing, psychological impetus to spend more money on a regular basis, appealing to kids and teens with lots of free time and a willingness to badger their parents for money, social enough that players will stay in the game for years because all their friends play. It's kind of breathtaking when you look at the parallels now.

They had that entire previously-untapped goldmine of a market space to themselves (or near enough, given the quality of their early competition) for long enough to get really culturally entrenched, and that meant they were able to shift the model online (and keep a much greater chunk of the profits) without as much resistance as you might expect--if you already believe that 5 cents' worth of ink and cardboard can be worth dozens or hundreds of dollars if it's got the right picture on it, it's a lot easier to believe that the same picture on your computer screen can be worth the same.

Nope; with one exception, the Z80-family calculators are still run by real, bona-fide Z80s (or, in the case of the new TI-84 Plus CE, an eZ80).

Looking at the source, this is where the alarm bells should go off in a reviewer's head:

memcpy(filter->buffer, output->piu_text_utf8, sizeof(output->piu_text_utf8));

1. memcpy is less safe than memmove and strncpy. strncpy should be used.

2. The two character arrays should use the same constant in defining their length, and that constant should be used both in the struct definitions and here in the copy operation.

3. The code is written in C in spite of it being 2014 at the time.

People are paying for it because they get value out of what they are paying for. TCP/IP isn't patented, but companies will pay several million dollars for a TCP/IP stack for their embedded firmware.

FIPS 140-2 is not a cryptosystem standard; it covers the design of hardware security modules using a wide range of algorithms, the majority of which don't use ECC at all. The fact that you mention it at all (rather than, say, FIPS 186-2 Appendix 6) suggests that you have no idea what it is.

Certicom (now part of BlackBerry) offers not just patent licenses but also software licenses.

Several of the previously potentially relevant patents (mentioned in the link upthread) have expired within the last five years.

I found college to be an exceedingly isolating environment myself. During my entire time there I don't think I made a single lasting friend, and the people I did meet were mostly brief acquaintances who turned out to be completely untrustworthy, negative influences (theft, lying, sexual assaults, alcoholism, etc). The availability of new interactions seemed to make individuals easily replaceable, as well as the transience of the experience meant there was no reason to invest in a relationship when you'd both be parting ways soon. All of which leads to the people around you becoming a disposable commodity. Perhaps they were just different environments? I was at a large state school - things might be different at smaller or more selective institutions.
Well, that was a vacuous piece of fluff. I suppose David Brooks has gotten past his youthful desire to produce meaningful work.
Something else of note is that the majority of occupational license requirements exclude felons. Sometimes they'll put verbiage into the law saying that once someone has completed the requirements they can petition the board for an exemption, but what person would put in 1000+ days for a license to cut hair without knowing if their work was for naught?
That really isn't the same thing, though. That's language-agnostic conceptual sneakiness that happened to be implemented in C.
@ ghshephard

Your comment implies they're only paying for an implementation. To be sure, do you have a link to a resource analyzing the patents on ECC and showing they don't apply to anything they (or we) use for ECC? That it's a moot issue in its entirety or mostly except for known cases? Otherwise, I'm going to guess that you're guessing like everyone else.

I guess that traditional package managers could install a helper script or a config file early in the build system before the main package is finished.
Compilers have been doing this for a long time. The optimizations that this enables are essential for performance. They shouldn't stop; if the spec prohibits it, the spec should change (and if it doesn't, the compilers should ignore the spec).
>The private company would also price gouge because they would also be a monopoly - only you would not be able to lobby the private company and vote for a different one...

They needn't necessarily be a monopoly; there's nothing stopping multiple certification companies coexisting. Providing certification is not a natural monopoly.
