I am sorry I missed this post.

You are not required to create packages to use Fly! You can simply pass your transformer function to `Fly.prototype.filter` and be done with it. I think plugins should be true thin wrappers to whatever utilities you are trying to incorporate into your build task.

Compare this to gulp where you sometimes need to use vinyl and other abstractions, plus stream wrappers and other deps.
Is it really clear that the draft TPP language quoted here would reverse the Clarinex decision? It seems to me that the phrase "involves an inventive step" would permit challenges based on obviousness. See for example [0]. While what is "obvious" and what is "inventive" can always be debated, I don't see that this language alters the ground on which that debate will play out.

Can't we just ban Techdirt submissions for their terrible and obviously biased reporting? Everything from them is blatantly one sided and not even trying to actually represent the truth.

From 3Taps own website right now:

"As part of the settlement, 3taps and its founder, Greg Kidd, have agreed to pay craigslist $1 million, all of which must then be paid by craigslist to the EFF, which supported 3taps' position on the CFAA in this litigation, and continues to do great work for Internet freedom"
For the record, I'm a fan of the retro design -- or I guess it's original in their case. In any case, I don't mind that.

It's that the product could be better -- as in better features -- in a bout a million ways. How about notifying me when something becomes available for instance... Or showing a map view of apartment listings or heck all listings... Or a bit a zillion search possibilities...like -- here's one -- searching across a whole region or farther for a given item... Or some kind of attempt at reputation building as an option...

That list took maybe 90 seconds... My theory is that they are lazy because they can afford to be and they aggressively defend their laziness by suing anyone who tries to make it better. Finks.
The folks below already gave you the answer, but we are considering adding support for Flyfiles written in ES6 now. It's intrusive and opinionated, and although one of the reasons I like auto loading plugins is so that Flyfiles end up looking as agnostic as possible despite using ES5, I think it would be awesome to have ES6 Flyfiles.
Wouldn't that argument just reinforce the comment's point? Land ownership is heavily regulated - taxes, zoning, easements, eminent domain and so on.

I used PadMapper. It was fantastic, the user interface was so much better than CL. ...but its scraping of CL postings was risky and morally wrong. The "fuck the rules" approach has worked for Uber and AirBNB, but it's not going to work everywhere.
"Aggressively litigious nature"? Really? Because this is the first lawsuit I'm aware of involving CL, and they were clearly in the right here. So ... what's your beef?

Something really interesting I noticed, according to: http://www.scribd.com/doc/270207251/Severed-Fiber-Optic-Cabl...

There were cuts in Alamo @ 11pm, and then in Fremont at 11:40pm.

It takes almost exactly that long to drive between these locations.

Either there are multiple parties at work here, or these cuts are planned very well and executed flawlessly.

Indeed, this dual-pronged approach seems to happen three times total.

On 7/6 Berkeley to Fremont, 7/7 Walnut Creek to Fremont then San Jose (though I think it would be hard to get from WC to Fremont in 25 minutes... basically impossible), and 6/8 Alamo to Fremont.

Actually, it seems almost certain that multiple people are either doing this independently or working together.

Since the disparate cuts happen on the same day, it seems very much like multiple people are working together.

As far as I've seen, that's for Siri only. I don't think any of the other mobile platforms allow MPTCP for apps, either. (I would love to be wrong though)
That doesn't sound like a "donation", though? At the very least Craiglist tried to portray it as something they're doing out of the goodness of their hearts.

My first paragraph was badly written, so perhaps made it look like I was talking about the enforcement proceeding to collect whatever was won in the underlying lawsuit.

The intent, though, was to talk about the underlying lawsuit, and the effect of a lack of personal jurisdiction of that court over the defendant.
Have you had ever used Craiglist? Everything you say is alreaady built-in.
Why wouldn't they just drop their equipment and leave? Cutting cables causes a noticeable outage and requires people to physically visit the point of modification, which ruins the covert potential for such equipment.
Giving million bucks to someone else sounds pretty good to me and fits every definition of donation I've ever heard of.

Giving away a $1M settlement is clearly a donation, and it's "out of the goodness of their hearts" when compared to the obvious alternative: keeping the money.
> But for any app of sufficient complexity, keep your markup out of your code

I'd rather divide the app into components, each one with its own HTML, CSS and JS, plus the AJAX handlers on the server.

Simply separating HTML from JS is not enough. I remember having to hunt a lot from file to file when I was using jQuery to build websites, because the HTML was in one file, the JS was in completely other file. It wasn't efficient.

I think the declarative approach here, which seems inspired from ReactJS is the nicest. I don't ever want to write direct HTML any more. I prefer to use a fully developed language to declare the page. In such a language you can use repetition, functions and variables to express your markup in a smarter way.

Do you have a persuasive (to you) argument for it?

Is the structure of that argument the same as the structure of your argument for physical property? (in which case my argument would be that there are very relevant differences)

There are pragmatic arguments against it: The costs copyright and patents impose on the market are huge. Not the prices, but all the good things that become difficult or illegal to do.

On principle: even if an IP system has some practical benefit, we usually set a pretty high bar for restricting people's communication or creativity. Is copying properly up there with fraud and slander?

I think we can come up with much better ways to pay for art. (Kickstarter is one.)

Maybe they didn't want to?
Every IBM AS/400 (and its predecessors S/36, S/38) came with all the manuals which took up more than one book shelf (IIRC back in the day this made IBM the largest publisher in the world). In high school I had this minimal wage office job where my responsibilities were not entirely clear, but I spent a lot of time reading those manuals, especially the "Structured Query Language/400" and RPG IV, and eventually negotiated a programming job because I was able to completely automate the tasks I was given.

Thinking back, I think those "systems" (as IBM referred to them) were pretty cool. You could upgrade any part of it, including the central processing units without taking it down, which is pretty remarkable even today. As I recall a "reboot" was referred to as IPL (Initial Program Load) and you only did those when IBM said it was necessary - those things never crashed.
"All you posts are belong to CRAIGSLIST" is not very communistic. Craigslist is just a private business using government IP law to prevent potential competitors from eating their significant market share.

Techdirt's usual bias fits in-line with HN's bias so that doesn't seem likely.
It seems that the TPP, TTIP and TiSA are not about the sort of “free trade” that would free local businesses to sell abroad. They are about freeing international corporations from the government regulation necessary to protect the economy, the people, and the environment. They are about preserving privatized monopolies and preventing competition from the public sector. And they are about moving litigation offshore into private arbitrary tribunals

What is going on was predicted by David Korten in his 1995 blockbuster, When Corporations Rule The World. Catherine Austin Fitts calls it a “corporate coup d’état.”

This corporate coup includes the privatization and offshoring of the judicial function [0] delegated to the US court system in the Constitution, through Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) provisions that strengthen existing ISDS procedures.

As explained in The Economist [1], ISDS gives foreign firms a special right to apply to a secretive tribunal of highly paid corporate lawyers for compensation whenever the government passes a law to do things that hurt corporate profits — such things as discouraging smoking, protecting the environment or preventing a nuclear catastrophe.
Arbitrators are paid $600-700 an hour, giving them little incentive to dismiss cases. The secretive nature of the arbitration process and the lack of any requirement to consider precedent give wide scope for creative judgments – the sort of arbitrary edicts satirized by Lewis Carroll in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

To date, the highest ISDS award has been for $2.3 billion to Occidental Oil Company against the government of Ecuador over its termination of an oil-concession contract, although the termination was apparently legal. Under the TPP, however, even larger and more unpredictable judgments can be anticipated, since the sort of “investment” it protects includes not just “the commitment of capital or other resources” but “the expectation of gain or profit.” That means the rights of corporations extend not merely to their factories and other “capital” but to the profits they expect to receive. Just the threat of a massive damage award for impairing “expected corporate profits” could be enough to discourage prospective legislation by lawmakers.

Also, I found a typo:

There's also the fact that the Executive branch (for current and all future Presidents) has just greatly expanded it's power, and snubbed out Congress' ability to stone-wall any trade deals they don't agree with (via amendments, etc...).

Obama likes to constantly state that he will act because Congress "refuses" to... which completely ignores the fact that Congress' "lack" of action is exactly what they are supposed to do when there is no agreement on an issue. Just because Congress doesn't execute the President's will doesn't mean Congress is wrong!

Now the Executive branch gets to unilaterally decide what trade agreements are good for the nation (and that usually means which big lobbying firm courted the Executive branch the best) -- that doesn't sound very democratic to me.

I assume you mean in or near cities. There are several long-distance bike-only trails (that I know of) in the US, but they tend to be in protected nature areas.
Of course you can, but it will be quite a while before they get the imagination to look for you at a far distance instead of within a short range like a city block.

"I'm a fan of the retro design...It's that the product could be better"

Agreed. I gave up on my first experience trying to rent an apartment after getting obviously sketchy responses emails from my inquiries, that was after I had spent hours sifting through the listings and only messaging the few listing that didn't look like scams. It's amazing how difficult it was to find where the approximate location, which definitely would have helped with some very simple non-js map. It shouldn't be that difficult to get a valid description of what I'm looking for.

Even if CL's interpretation of the CFAA is legally correct, this is an abuse of it by any measure. Suing people for accessing your publicly available website is absurd. The fact that Craig would publicly claim the money was a donation, after he obtained it by exploiting a very dangerous view of the CFAA and bankrupted a company that didn't do anything wrong, is disgusting to me. I've always found Craig Newmark to be a little creepy; now I think he's squarely in scumbag territory.

> [...] it's rather pointless in practice unless you can do it at runtime without crashing the browser or causing it to become unresponsive.

The snippet i posted doesn't crash the browser and seems to take around 1 or 2 milliseconds to run. Considering usual page load times, and if detecting whether TCO works is important for an application, it doesn't seem like an unreasonable solution (albeit pretty ugly hehe).

Thanks for the pointers about languages that don't have this limitation. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the case for Java. This simple recursive function throws a StackOverflowError in less than 100,000 iterations: http://ideone.com/Tf4n3I, and it's not because the program is consuming all physical memory:

/usr/bin/time -v java StackOverflowExample
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError
at StackOverflowExample.rec(StackOverflowExample.java:7)
at StackOverflowExample.rec(StackOverflowExample.java:8)
at StackOverflowExample.rec(StackOverflowExample.java:8)
...

Command being timed: "java StackOverflowExample"
User time (seconds): 0.13
System time (seconds): 0.01
...
Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 27000
...
Because shell scripts are more complex to write. I, myself, having used grunt and then switched to gulp, ended up favoring shell scripts / npm scripts, only to realize gets much more complex for larger projects. I think a build system abstraction is legit, and Fly is pushing the status quo to an even simpler, thinner, yet flexible alternative.

How do you explain the fact that finance is among the most regulated industries on earth, and the Fed directly controls the banks in numerous ways?

How do you explain the Treasury forcing banks like Wells Fargo to join TARP against their own will?

Wall Street is a branch office of the US Government's financial interests. They tell Wall Street what to do, and when to do it. They control all of the regulations, they have all of the guns, and they have all of the money (both taxing power and the US dollar).

Hell, the US Government earns more on just student loan interest annually than the combined profit of both JP Morgan and Wells Fargo. Wall Street is comically weak compared to the US Government and the Fed. One single month of QE by the Fed tends to be more than the combined profit of the ten biggest American banks.

Samsung revenue: $305 billion vs. South Korea GDP: ~$1.3 trillion

That's one company with sales equal to 23% the entire size of their economy. By comparison, America's biggest company has sales equal to 2.7% of GDP.

Wall Street doesn't even come close to the kind of economic dominance over the US economy that Samsung has over South Korea. America's biggest banks combined are about as big as Apple or Walmart in terms of sheer economic clout.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Stanford, CA

Database Architect / Admin / Developer

Hi, I'm a developer in a small development team working in a research lab. We curate a knowledgebase of pharmacogenetic data by having PhDs use a web application to annotate scientific literature and related data. We're relatively small so we operate like a startup (read: a lot of autonomy) within our department.

Project Description - We are looking for a freelancer to work on a fixed-term project that should only take 1 or 2 months to complete. Our knowledgebase is a Tomcat Java webapp backed by an Oracle RDBMS with a Hibernate layer in between. We'd like someone to migrate our existing Oracle RDBMS to PostgreSQL, ensure the integrity of all migrated data, and optimize to perform like a well-oiled machine. The database itself is a non-clustered, non-replicated, single instance (pretty straight-forward).

Qualifications - We need someone with experience architecting and deploying both Oracle and PostgreSQL architectures in a linux environment (RHEL/Ubuntu). Optionally, it would be great if you're competant in Java or have a DevOps-type background. Our institute requires applicants to have a bachelor's degree (or equivalent years of directly applicable work experience).

Contact: feedback@pharmgkb.org - Send us a resume, CV, portfolio page, github profile, or whatever and we can start the conversation.

When the Congress hands the Executive fast-track authority for such dealings, it is quite disingenuous to point the finger at the Executive. The Executive branch is going to take and hold every single power the Congress grants it. The Congress is there to balance a runaway Executive.

Congress surrendered the authority. They are the ones to blame.
