What a weird quote. The full sentence is:

If she eventually succeeds in convincing a three-judge panel that the trial was unfair, Kleiner (and Silicon Valley, symbolically) would be on trial again.

This is self-evidently true.

You might not like that Pao's trial keeps appearing in the Times story about Pao's resignation, but the giant petition for her ouster chose to lead itself off with it. It's materially part of the real context of the story.
I don't think you can refuse to comply with an injunction unless you're willing to go to jail. You can challenge it, probably, but in the meantime you have to comply. IANAL

>If it's "obviously [an] onerous requirement" then what does "they will at least have repay the favour to the users and the community" mean?

The users will get the sources and the permission to use those sources so they do not have to be powerless and dependent on the company's good will to provide patches. I can't imagine why this is a difficult concept to comprehend.

>You clarify that "customers should be allowed to get the derived software on the same generous terms as the company received the original on", but that assumes that the companies have customers. Very few companies that use academically produced bioinformatics software have downstream customers of that software.

Yes, if they have customers, no matter how few, those customers should have all the permissions associated with free software. I don't see the problem here. It's not an unreasonable assumption that a nonzero number bioinformatics companies have a nonzero number of customers.

>For the vast majority of companies that only use the software in-house, which is likely 99+% of all companies, how does using the GPL or any other free software license lead to the company repaying the favor? What's wrong for asking for payment in cash instead of other more nebulous contributions?

If nothing else, the burden of maintaining a private fork, and integrating upstream changes with your own, can be an incentive to just send your changes upstream.
I'm getting really sick of this shit. The Slice article (where BI got it's numbers that FC then used) is NOT TRUSTWORTHY. They see only a TINY slice (no pun intended) of data and they don't have direct sales numbers.

>Fitbit is outselling Apple in the wearables space. Apple may have already crushed small time smartwatch companies like Pebble, but the Watch has failed to disrupt the larger wearable marketplace.

Comparing the Apple Watch to a fitbit is laughable at best. They are not equivalent except for they both can measure activity. They've crushed Pebble's numbers and ALL other android wear devices. they go on to say:

> Imagine if months after the iPad release, we learned it still hadn’t outsold some model of Windows tablet.

WTF. In this case Pebble/Android Wear == Windows tablet. Windows tablet != Fitbit. What a stupid point to try and make.

> (Which, to be fair, are projections based on email receipts hoovered up by Slice, not from Apple itself.)

How convenient to bury the only fact in this sad excuse of journalism after you have spewed BS everywhere.

> The Apple Watch is flopping because it’s very well executed, but not very well designed. In terms of utility, it’s hard to use, and not solving meaningful problems. In terms of fashion, it's a piece of technology that inherently falls short of timelessness, and yet doesn't keep up with fast fashion, either.

Mmk, no. It may not be what you were expecting but anyone who has worn a Pebble or Android Wear more or less knew exactly what the Apple Watch would be and it's delivered perfectly on that for me and a number of my friends. I think it looks just fine on my wrist and "fashion" can go fuck off for all I care. It puts my notifications on my wrist, gives me the ability to quickly react to messages, I can leave my phone across the room and just look at my watch instead of running over at every little ding/ping/buzz. Also all of this before they release their SDK for developing apps for the thing...

What a stupid article based all on conjecture, let's wait for Apple to release numbers before we start making all sorts of assumptions and try to be the first ones to call it a "flop".
I think it depends on the context. If I'm a mod on reddit and I remove a submission because it's a clear rule breaker, am I censoring the person who posted it, or am I performing content curation? Which is the more accurate term to use?

It might be technically correct to call water a 'clear liquid', but isn't there a better term or name to use, a more accurate and descriptive term to use? A clear liquid can also refer to vodka or rubbing alcohol or even many types of acids. Being clear and using the correct terms are important to the discussion. Overusing the word "Censorship" just because it might be technically correct dilutes the word's meaning. Especially since what's happening most of the time is content curation.
If someone can listen to your audio, they can also record it using a program like Audacity. So there's really no way of preventing people from copying it.

How Bundler Works: A History of Ruby Dependency Management
Yes, ff-only will fail. If C,D are independent and simple, I would go ahead and rebase, otherwise do a proper merge.

Remember you can play a lot with git; if you are not sure how it will turn out, checkout a commit (e.g. git checkout origin/master), create a new throwaway branch (git checkout -b tmp), then you can do rebases, cherry-picks, merges etc., then do "git log tmp" or "git log -p tmp" to see how does the branch look. If you are unhappy, you can always throw it out (git branch -D tmp), it won't affect anything else.

I generally avoid the situation when a branch and origin diverges. The flow I have in my work is: If I need to make a small change (few lines), I pull, do changes, commit and push directly to master; if there are any intervening independent changes, pull --rebase. For anything larger, I create a new branch, and commit there. Once it is ready, I give it to a teammate for code review and do automated build, if everything is OK he merges it to master. Other people generally don't push to my branch, and there is no A-B-C vs A-B-D situation.

If several people work together on the same branch, we coordinate actions face-to-face or via team chat, to avoid conflicts. We pull/push many times a day and the changes are small enough so there are no problems with rebasing in a topic branch. If two people make big conflicting changes to the same branch, it means trouble and we merge or even discard some changes.

I only had a brief look at the source code (it's over at Github) but it seems one could easily run their own server?
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes.git
export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=vagrant
cd kubernetes
./cluster/kube-up.sh

will not work. you need to build kubernetes first. you can either run `make quick-release` before kube-up (but you need build deps) or you can download a release version. Instead try running:

export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=vagrant && curl -sS https://get.k8s.io | bash

You don't even need to clone the repo.

According to Reddit's User Agreement user content:

"You retain the rights to your copyrighted content or information that you submit to reddit ('user content') except as described below."

And the exceptions just state that Reddit has a perpetual irrevocable worldwide license.

So it seems like there's no default license and others don't have any automatic rights to use the content. Does this assessment seem correct? In practice, it may not be a big problem, particularly for academic research and such, but I'm guessing there are some uses that might cause problems.
How to Discourage a Doctor (2014)
Technically this should be quite easy to fix. Each story gets a git repositiory. URLs denote the state at the time of view. A visitor to the URL gets a small header giving them the ability to read the article as shared or the most recent version. The full commit history should be accessible.

The reasons for not doing this would be mostly non-technical. Face-saving and risk of liability would seriously inhibit implementation.
Agreed on all points, the thing is, what comes after the Internet? The answer seems to be more Internet.

It's not too hard to get away from the social cable TV news like Facebook if you try. The Internet is still as subculture-focused and underground as it always was, you just have to dig a little deeper these days. There are still phreaking groups on IRC. There are still anon remailer nets. Ham radio is still a thing. x86 disassemblers are still useful. Soldering is still a valuable skill.

It's just now, there are a few generations of us out there and the barriers to entry are very low for the Internet at large. Don't give up.
My two takeaways are to have a strong door and to let the proper authorities handle accidents that don't require immediate aid. Those two behaviors seem safer for all involved.
Let me get this straight, you used a device for 10 days and you already had a bias against watches so the watch must be a flop... Ok.

The watch as a smart-device is a completely new concept that will take some time to get used to a tablet is a pretty simple (relatively) thing to use given knowledge of a computer. Not to mention tablets were used or had been used by a larger number of people (even if they were a bitch to work with) before the iPad unlike the watch. While Pebble and Android Wear exist their usage numbers (One would expect) are way under tablet usage pre-iPad. And again Computer/Laptop -> iPad is a lot easier of a transition to make. It took a little bit for me to really understand the best use cases for my pebble but very quickly it became a device I would not consider leaving at home. Because of that and having had worn a smart watch for 1yr prior to getting my Apple Watch I feel I was able to "slide into" normal usage quite quickly. Everything my Pebble did my Apple Watch does better. Battery has not been a problem for me (never fallen below 40%) and charging every night is insignificant seeing how it's on my wrist from the moment I get ready in the morning till the moment I lay down to go to sleep.

IMHO most people who say "I tried it and it's a flop or it's no good" are people who either didn't give a fair shot or expected a phone on their wrist (Which I felt was made very clear that this is not that). This is an extension of your phone, I think of it more like a mouse to a computer than a tablet is to a computer. It's primarily a quick-display device so you don't need to fish your phone out and a portal into what's going to happen next. There are gimmicky things about the Apple Watch like sending taps to people with watches but there are duds like that in every Apple product.

Just compressing the images into an archive, if not encrypting them, is enough to evade such a filter.

There are a lot more legitimate uses for a public repository of CP hashes along with free software for verifying them locally.

Jeb Bush: No Leniency for Edward Snowden
Good example, I am a Jew. Me, I'd probably toss some downvotes around and get out - maybe once in a blue moon if I'm drunk I'll write a response to one of the dumber/ridiculous comments. But there's more vocal people than me.

>Now let's say reddit is full of antisemites, homophobes, xenophobes, racists, fascists, and sexists. Do you say fuck it and leave?

Absolutely I'd leave a place like that. See, that's the great thing about reddit. It's not full of those people. 95% of people are not in the category of the "racist sexist 5%." So those people get drowned out, or downvoted to oblivion, or very occasionally rebuked by an authority figure to positive response. And yeah, those assholes who write the worst shit probably aren't going to change their mind. But maybe we can reach the guy who just browses, and make him think twice before hitting the upvote button.

> Why would you want to visit a site where terrible people aren't told to get the fuck out

I just want them to be told to shut the fuck up, not get the fuck out. And I limit this opinion to reddit generally, since I see it as the central place for internet discourse. Subreddits and non-reddit fora should absolutely censor content to create the desired community attitude.

I keep hearing those stories of "performance level of QNX" since at least 2000. Perhaps it's even true (while I didn't see that during 4.x QNX era, but I blame lack of experience back then). I've seen even various synthetic tests QNX vs L4 couple of years ago. Again QNX source code has been released about 5 years ago if I'm not mistaken. So what was that super performing sauce of QNX which other micro kernels lack. What are those concepts/ideas? Why they weren't re-implemented on L4/Hurd (you can't just borrow, QNS is NOT free software)?

This idea is still as stupid (in it's current form, using the blockchain for identification is an interesting idea but paying BTC to vote? So it's Citizen's United for Reddit, no thanks) as it was when it was posted here a few days ago.

Guess what using votes alone to moderate just doesn't work and it really doesn't work when whoever has more money can run a botnet to upvote their spam posts. If it weren't for the mods on reddit most popular subs would be so bogged down in spam and other bad stuff that no one would want to stick around to clean it up by voting.

SPAM has a clear definition, and I don't think you will find anyone anywhere who disagrees that it needs to be blocked.

But "troll" is hard to put an objective lid on. If I try to argue science to antivaxxers I may be labeled a troll. If I try to oppose HTML DRM because I believe it's bad for the internet, some people will label me a troll for that.

If I enter a Muslim internet forum and insist that Muhammed was a pedophile, I may have my facts straight, but it will be hard to argue that I'm anything but trolling.

So where do you draw the line on troll? Who decides what troll can be censored? This sounds extremely shady, and if I may raise the conspiracy flag, intentionally open to interpretation.

> No cite but commonly acknowledged that creating private prisons also creates a demand for prisoners.

Commonly acknowledged, but wrongly. Look at the inflection points in the U.S. incarceration rate: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/U.S._inc...

Growth started in 1972-73. The growth rate kneed around 2000. Compare with the prison prison population: http://static.prisonpolicy.org/prisonindex/graphs/privatepri.... They were pretty much insignificant until the 1990's. By then, the growth trend in incarceration rates was firmly established, and indeed, was closer to the knee in 2000 than to the initial upswing in the 1970's.

What happened in the 1980's and 1990's? Privatization of many other government services: http://www.kevingunn.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/TotalFed....

The most reasonable conclusion from the data is that private prisons are not creating the demand for prisoners, but rather reacting to the demand for privatizing government services generally. I fully agree that private prisons should be illegal, but they didn't create the problem.

We created the problem, with three strikes laws and cracking down on probation. E.g. http://www.dc.state.fl.us/secretary/press/2001/timeserved.ht.... In 1991, Florida prisoners served about 35% of their sentences. Due to a state law, by 2001 it was 83%.
You have the same in Germany, but obviously for the left-hand side.

That said, people do tend to walk on the right-hand side as far as I can tell, following the traffic. So, no consistency. The 'no pavement' is already exceptional. Walking on the other side of the road in that case is just part of that experience.. :)

Thank you!
> If Amnesty International is being spied on, then is anyone safe?

Well, no.
The percentage of individuals incarcerated in private prisons is still a small (but growing) minority (maybe 10% or so, but much higher for juveniles). I think you have cause and effect reversed. The war on drugs created the demand for more prison space, which gave rise to the private prison industry. The related scandals and corruption (judges being paid for sentences, etc.) all stem from that.
