From what I heard, in very poor countries children are often treated as investment. A child can start paying itself off by working as soon as even 5 years after being born. As a parent, you want someone to take care of you when you're old, and given high children mortality, you're better off making more of them in hope at least one survives to adulthood. Basically, those people are too poor to afford not having many children.

It's often the people who popularize ideas that are remembered for them (however unjustly), so I wouldn't care to predict who will turn out to be important to folks hundreds of years hence. If it's like today, there'll probably be popular figureheads and a bunch of academics trying to belittle them in favor of a pet forerunner, just as we can argue about whether, say, Alan Kay or Douglas Englebart should be the person people bring up to claim Apple didn't invent the GUI, or Smalltalk or Simula should be worshipped (or ridiculed) as the first OO language.

Whom should we remember: Gödel, Turing, or Cohen?

This is absolutely correct. Perhaps Hacker News culture is such that they realize such a warning can be overcome through a refresh, or possibly an incognito browser window if a cookie is preventing a second guess. Still though, within the rules of the game, there is no drawback of testing negative sequences, but there's a clearly defined drawback of entering an incorrect answer.
The entire report is about harmonizing EU copyright, to make one set of rules instead of 28.

Countries that already have this restriction (such as France) are interested in keeping their customs and traditions, and lobbied to make this part of the report where before, it would have called the EU Commission to write EU law to forbid it EU-wide.

"Think of the artists" was a great pitch given that the report is penned by a Pirate Party MEP (and so it's easy to believe that the entire report is pro-consumer/anti-artist), and so that change slipped in.

[edit: As a funny side note, Google Street View is available in France, where such a law is in effect, but very limited in Germany, where there is no such law. It's not strictly enforced right now in France, except for night-time Eiffel tower photographs, but they want to keep it. ]

He was talking about your critique on Island's political system, obviously. As for defending the righteousness of the voting system, I'd just say that back then (when the democracy were employed) the people empowered to vote were only the citizens. In those times it made sense to consider citizens those whom the society could count on to defend its existence. Those would be, objectively speaking, the individuals invested enough to stay and defend the city/country with their own life if necessary, otherwise there wouldn't any assurance that the civic-responsible (and interested) voter wouldn't make himself scarce at first sign of trouble. So no, not everyone deserved to vote (back then). Let's talk about women's condition - could women have any influence in politics? Perhaps! But when the time did come, women were powerless in regard to enforcing decisions and more - like it can be deduced from the reference that user ableal provided¹, the women were spared and treated like objects rather than subjects of decisions' consequences. Nowadays (almost) everyone has a right to vote because everyone who votes has more or less the same footing (men and women alike). Now the system is supported (on the individual level) through financial contribution, and everyone supporting (i.e. empowering) the system should have at least some power, expressed through vote. So yes, everyone deserves to vote (now).

You're right. I think someone else already pointed out asm.js as a good example.

Of course, it won't happen magically: someone has to go to the effort of defining the subset and building the compiler for it.

You can't expect the general-purpose compiler to automatically be as optimal as possible just because a program happens to use the subset. For example, the program might be being compiled into something like a java .class file meant for importing to a less conservative calling program. This would be incompatible with putting those bare metal optimizations in the .class file.

But both slaves and foreign residents ("metics") transmitted their status by birth: you could be born in Athens, as could your father, and your father's father, and still have no route to citizenship, unless the city chose to grant it as a gift (a rare event).

I think there are two other factors as why web apps are dominating client apps. The first is distribution cost. Even with AppStore and Android market, it's still very hard to get your app to the users. People browse to hundreds of different websites everyday, but very few try out tens of apps in their phone. The second factor is that the web is intrinsically a lot more connected. One web page/app can easily link to another with, doh, a link. The linking/back button semantics are well understood by all the users.

> If the EU currently allows country to restrict this, why would a new rule be needed to allow to make a distinction between commercial and noncommercial usage?

Because it's very annoying to have to consult local laws to figure out if you can use a picture or not. The idea is that you end up with three levels: free to use, free to use for non commercial use, restricted.

A country would then no longer be permitted to add special excemptions other than those (for instance it would be not permitted to say "restricted but free for professional magazines" or something like that)
> cross-platform != native

Best not tell that to the Qt devs ;)

Anyway, this argument is ridiculous because all my point was, is that this project only means "native GUI" in the sense that it's a GUI that runs without an intermediate rendering engine (ie web browser). I was just trying to defend an interesting project against the hoards of negative semantic-Nazi's. I get rather sick of the poisonous attitude some have towards other peoples hard work so felt it was only fair to offer a counter argument defending it. But I did so forgetting just how vehemently opinionated many are and now really wish I hadn't bothered because this argument has spiralled well beyond the original point.

Sure, in an ideal world this project would be using vendor APIs rather than OpenGL - but this does actually work and is pretty damn cool, even if it is a bit of hack. And if we're honest, isn't hacking meant to be the point of this forums? Or is this community now just a place for intelligent people to belittle other intelligent people?

Honestly, sometimes I just sigh at the number of pot-shots people make on here and how it's now become the acceptable norm. I'm sure it wasn't like this when I first joined.

> As some people used to say, "security is binary; you either are secure or you are not".

I think anyone that used to say that was just wrong. "We" (software community in general) have a much more sophisticated understanding of security than we used to, and realization that absolute security is virtually impossible. Security is always a continuum of risk management.

Bruce Schneier writes:

> Security is a trade-off. This is something I have written about extensively, and is a notion critical to understanding the psychology of security. There's no such thing as absolute security, and any gain in security always involves some sort of trade-off.

He's not writing specifically about digital security in that quote, but since he's foremost an expert on digital security, it's safe to say his opinions on security in general apply to digital security too.

It's a good essay, worth reading.

https://www.schneier.com/essays/archives/2008/01/the_psychol...

Here's another Schneier quote about digital specifically:

> That is why security experts aren't surprised by the Sony story. We know people who do penetration testing for a living—real, no-holds-barred attacks that mimic a full-on assault by a dogged, expert attacker—and we know that the expert always gets in. Against a sufficiently skilled, funded and motivated attacker, all networks are vulnerable. But good security makes many kinds of attack harder, costlier and riskier. Against attackers who aren't sufficiently skilled, good security may protect you completely.

Most copyright laws assume there are just 2 players: Aki who owns the property and the copyright, and Ben who takes & monetizes the photo and then pays royalties.

In my scenario there is a 3rd: Aki owns the property and copyright still, and Ben still takes the photo and posts it. But then Caro monetizes the page that the photo is on.

Does Ben owe royalties to Aki? Does Caro? Do both? Neither?
