Thank you for exhaustive answer. It seems you mix personal, communal and private property. In the Soviet Union there was no private property. However, it respected personal property, so was the basis for criminal law, and you could not walk in and take Stalin's hat. And there was co-operative, or communal property, which was the property form for large enterprises. Property of the state falls into this category, however with a bit different sauce.

With respect to IP rights, the USSR considered that personal property and established legislation for that. Vast libraries of the USSR patents were protected that way.

As you pointed out - that was grandiose experiment. And it failed. Because what people wanted is private property and the state that protects private property. But the nature of the Internet reveals basic truth - you cannot own music.

Absurd things like arrested Tokyo accordionist who played The Beatles for fun will happen all the time if one impose private property on music. But you can control distribution and charge for that, owning supply chain of music - this is what Apple and Amazon do.

They are not going to sue homeless singing "Yellow Submarine" on the outskirts of Chicago. But they will extort every penny from labels and indie musicians who wants to use their trade channels to reach customers.
I'm terrible with task switching also and have had to do some reduction in my side stuff to keep my sanity. I have code projects that I want to build, but I can't focus on those while focusing on the code for my full time job that is by far primary.

I had a programming business with a lot of legacy contracts when I shut it down to go work full time, so I sold off the business to another guy just because it was killing my focus.

Now I blog and present about a lot of tech related topics where in almost every situation it's something that overlaps with my full time job. That way, just as he's describing, I'm more thoroughly researching and articulating things that will pay dividends at work as well. The overlap makes it like getting paid (sometimes) for side research that I would have done anyway and it keeps me sane.

Also makes it easier for my wife to understand me spending time outside of work reading about this stuff. :-)
Top 5 Avoidable SEO Mistakes

I'd gladly pay this amount too, if it meant I got all college football and NFL games. A one stop shop for all games would be a huge convenience, too. When my favorite college team is playing early season games, sometimes it's a scramble to make sure I have access to whatever minor network picked up the broadcast rights to the game.

$30/mo is $360/yr. Could I even take my wife to a game at Levi's stadium for that price, once you factor in transportation and parking?

Almost everyone I know who watches football more than casually would pay for an all-access streaming service.
Nice site.

Suggestion: It would be nice to have some sort of search box at the top that would instantly filter the list of articles as you type. Instead of having to dig through the "more articles" links to find what you are looking for, you could just type "oil", "air filter", or other terms and see the corresponding articles immediately.

Also, sometimes the ads cover page content and when this happens sometimes you can't close them. I'm using Chrome on a Mac.

That's not entirely true. They forbid using other people's code licensed under the GPL because it is not possible to meet its conditions[1]. Basically, they don't want to deal with the possible resulting copyright lawsuit. If you own the copyright to all the code used in your app, then there is no issue.

That's the primary problem with using Skype for podcasting: you have no control over codec selection. When Skype detects network disruptions, it automatically changes codec to reduce bandwidth usage. Granted, if your network cant transport at the higher quality codec, you're going to get drops in audio anyway. Personally, I'd prefer the control though. It's easier to wait out a brief disruption in bandwidth than it is to coax Skype back up to a better quality codec.

Again IANAL and trespassing is a different law than the CFAA, but if the prosecutors could reasonable prove that it wasn't an honest mistake and you were knowingly going into the store when you're aware it's not allowed, then yes I think you could be charged with trespassing.

Like say you're an ex-employee who for some reason wants to go look at the schedule (maybe your stalking one of your old co-workers). If you walked in knowing the store was closed and you shouldn't be there, then I have to imagine you'd be arrested and charged with trespassing amongst other things.

The NFL already has the most amazing streaming service for games. It's called NFL Gamepass. If you attempt to look it up from a US-based IP address this is what you see:
http://i.imgur.com/oIfBq0f.png

If you visit that site from anywhere else in the world, this is what you see:
http://i.imgur.com/2UcLGJi.png

The online app itself is amazing. You have access to stream any game live on game days, and any previous game (including playoffs and super bowls) going back like 4 years. It also includes the Scott Hanson version of NFL Redzone (not the bootleg DirecTV version). No commercials. No blackouts. Multiple stream quality controls. Options for home/away team radio broadcasts. In-app "quad-box" split-screen. It's the best football-viewing experience possible.

I bought the special anniversary of Madden a year or two ago that included access to DirecTV's streaming service; it's garbage. I sold my access on eBay as soon as possible. The NFL Gamepass service may try to shoo away US-based visitors, but they'll happily accept a US-based address and credit card. Fire up a cheap VPN (only necessary for initial login) and you're set.

What's insane is that a few years ago, they offered Gamepass for FREE in certain countries. So with the right VPN location you didn't even have to pay for it. They stopped that though, and I'll happily pay them money for it, even if I have to trick them into allowing me.

Euro-Summit ‘Agreement’ on Greece – Annotated by Yanis Varoufakis
Fair enough. But how am I supposed to know if you can actually write code and do the job?

I've hired over 40 people and given hundreds of interviews over the course of my career. I learned early on that unless I can see some examples, then it is a random draw. The truth is that people give false impressions of their abilities on their resume (whether intentional or not).

As a development manager who still writes code, I have deep perspective of both sides of the table. I would never work for an employer who didn't want to see any code - because who knows what kind of talent I'd be working with?

But suggesting that this is "multi-tasking" is hiding the
truth for the majority of people. As you said, Ive known
people who do this. They simply ignore one task while
doing the other.

But that's all computers do. So using a definition of 'multi-tasking' that excludes that, you could say there is no thing as 'multi-tasking', unless you are able to juggle several tasks at once.

Which brings up a (few) problem(s) with that definition of 'multi-tasking'. Does that defintion define 'multi-tasking' as 'Doing two things at the same time', or 'Paying attention and doing two things at the same time'? If you use the former, then everyone everywhere multitasks when they decide to eat and walk, think about something and walk, etc.

If you decide to use the latter, then how do you define 'attention'? Is someone thinking about what to cook tonight while walking down the street really paying attention to where they're going?

The dissonance over meanings can easily be stemmed if you consider the second definition of the word 'multi-tasking'.

2. The engaging in more than one activity at the same
time or serially, switching one's attention back and
forth from one activity to another.

Which means that 'ignoring one task while doing the other' is a perfectly valid form of multi-tasking.
The post only implicitly answered how the job was made redundant. I'm assuming he lives off what used to be sideincome (consulting, training courses, blogging etc.) now?

The way he works sounds pretty unhealthy (or at least it would be for me) and is often the exact opposite to what I strive for. I don't write mails while waiting I let my mind wander around and try to "do nothing". I have batches for handling email and don't check outside those times (surprisingly the world doesn't stop if you don't answer email for most mails).
If I'm in a meeting, I'm in the meeting. If the meetings seem irrelevant the right course of action is trying to get rid of the meetings not hanging around but writing mail (imo)

Basically feels like he needs to "actively do stuff all the time". I'm quite the opposite and try to actively do nothing (my brain will work really well during those times but it's not looking active).
And when I'm doing something I try to optimize doing exactly that and not squeezing in other stuff.
I got myself stuck in a bit of a rut at work a couple of years ago and had basically let myself become worthless in the job market and to get myself out of it I re-skilled (re-learnt an old skill) in my own time, got a new job working with that and also started writing / blogging / coding on the side.

I regularly go to sleep after midnight and get up before 6 (young children etc).

What I am getting at is that it is hard but possible to get by on less sleep (although 20 mins meditation helps) - although there are def times when I realise that I should just stop and go to sleep from a quality point of view.

Having a family who actually wants to see me they wouldn't put up with me taking a laptop on holiday and I won't work on weekends during the day (maybe a conf or something once or twice a year) - I will work in the evening.
My personal preference is to learn by doing, and the best place I've found for this particular task is Kaggle (http://www.kaggle.com). They have a variety of datasets and scored data mining tasks, great forums for every level, code examples, and even a set of tutorials specifically for learning scikit (one of Python's machine learning libraries): http://blog.kaggle.com/2015/04/08/new-video-series-introduct...

I don't have any relationship with Kaggle other than being a semi-active user, but I really dig what they've got going. For a step-by-step approach, start with their blog posts and work on their "Getting Started" competitions. Everything you need is there.
From what the article claims, rediscovering their principles would produce a car with much better noise characteristics than turbines and modern ICEs. I wonder what modern metallurgy could do for the design? The part count is extremely low. With remote control from a smartphone, the big disadvantage -- boiler start time -- would be entirely solved. As it was, they had gotten it down to something comparable to starting diesel cars on a cold day.

(Young) experimental particle physicist here. While our current progress in particle physics has slowed down since the 70's, we've still learned quite a bit in the last 20 years. For example we've observed the top quark, tau neutrino and Higgs boson. We have also learned lots of stuff about neutrinos, like that they have mass and oscillate. There has also been amazing progress in detectors, although that's mostly behind the scenes.

Other fields of physics have had much more interesting discoveries though (e.g. graphene).

Physics has scaled out. There's a bunch of people working on a bunch of projects with, for the most part, narrowly defined goals. It's really to understand the implications of many of these projects when they succeed, let alone report on them.

Lots of non-shitty drivers do not follow every road rule to the letter under every circumstance and, indeed, it's not always possible to especially without pissing off everyone around you.

I actually agree with the basic point that it's the following driver who has 99% of the responsibility not to run into the car ahead. That said, there are plenty of behaviors like coming to unnecessarily abrupt stops in unexpected places (which I'm not saying is the case here) that will absolutely lead to people running into you.

I really wish more help from human-computer interaction & cognitive psychologists would be used to design a programming language.

The programming language is (to me) the most expensive part of a system, because it determines how the coder works & interacts with the system. And the human resources involved in building the system are the most expensive (besides those used to maintain and run it daily).

There must be symbols used to write code that are more easy to cognitively process than others. There must be keywords that are easier to memorize than others. There must be ways to write a statement that are less prone to error than others. Let's start working on this important and neglected problem.
The 20th century, in contrast to past centuries, was an experiment in progressivism.

Maybe from the magnetosphere. Otherwise, it's blatantly false ... well, at best limited to the coddled middle class western world, but only post WWII, and only if you exclude Vietnam, the Gulf War, and other major conflicts, the NSA's antics, and pretty much anything that happened in economics... perhaps with the exception of collateral debt and high frequency trading, which were progressing something ... I'm just not sure anyone really stood for it except its positive results on their bank accounts. I suppose Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot and the Japanese Empire were 'progressivist' by some definition, though!
This. "Please provide ..." is pretty demanding. At least be courteous when asking for free labor.

Reasons why I love writing on Medium
The old content is awesome and is never going to stop being relevant. I think the key to address the criticisms would be

1) Navigation - perhaps some sort of timeline that accompanies each article so that you can easily see the context that technology is in (e.g. direct injection <- fuel injection <- carburetor).

2) Edit the copy to ensure that old technology isn't identified as new. A quick glance turned up examples like: "Some high-performance engines do not have carburettors...".

Good stuff overall though!
Contemporary Canadian Indigenous Territory and Language Map
Meetings are generally run by people that like to hear themselves talk. Those of us that have to get shit done don't get a lot of benefit from hearing people bikeshed and ramble for forty-five minutes or an hour, when you could write up the ideas discussed in a more concrete form in five minutes and email it around.

Text is a whole lot more efficient than talk. People actually have to present ideas in a coherent way when they are written down, since it's actually in a persistent form and doesn't admit the same hand-waviness and slop that speech does.
