This is terrible advice on investing and not a starting point. Hold cash? Wait for the right time? Give me a break. And then they recommend you invest with them!

It's hard to imagine how anyone familiar with any part of the police/legal system's pattern of clueless, ham-handed, hierarchy-ridden interaction with technology over the last 30 years could find justification to continue extending them trust.
I wonder if they would have been acquired by Google if they had open sourced their software. Don't get me wrong - I completely understand your decision.
I think it sorta means "use case" and comes from Agile development, but the connotation is slightly different.

This is a clickbait meme that has been done to death.

There is no reason to assume that self-driving cars won't behave as selfishly as human drivers. That is, act in the self-interest of the passengers in all but the most extreme cases, most of which will be beyond the capability of the AI (or human driver) to understand. Like a human, an AI might be expected to stop suddenly if a child runs into the street, even at the risk of being rear-ended, because the risk to the passengers is minor. In the same circumstance, one would not expect an AI to drive off a cliff to avoid the child.
>Many people disagree with me on this, but their disagreement usually comes down to "the GPL is best for user freedom because it was created for user freedom and RMS is talking about user freedom."

I don't think there's a need to create weak straw arguments, when an obvious argument is that GPL forces companies creating new products based on GPL-licenced software to open-source these products, thus aggressively perpetuating "user freedom". This may or may not be efficient in the long term, but I don't think the answer is very clear cut with the current knowledge base.
There's no need to anticipate something that already existed. Permissive licensed user-developed projects existed a few decades before Stallman's involvement. Quoting from the Wikipedia page on SHARE at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHARE_%28computing%29 :

> SHARE Inc. is a volunteer-run user group for IBM mainframe computers that was founded in 1955 by Los Angeles-area users of the IBM 701 computer system. ... A major resource of SHARE from the beginning was the SHARE library. Originally, IBM distributed its operating systems in source form[1][2][3] and systems programmers commonly made small local additions or modifications and exchanged them with other users. The SHARE library and the process of distributed development it fostered was one of the major origins of open source software.
Unfortunately...
On mobile, I couldn't (without side-scrolling).

But yeah, the writing is great.
>I thought it was very odd that GPL advocates wanted to limit user freedom in that case.

You have it backwards. Apple limits user freedom with their licensing restrictions on iOS. Copyleft isn't welcome on iOS, and we shouldn't blame free software advocates for that.

The problem there is not the GPL, it is the restrictive Terms of Service that Apple has created for their App Store. In order to publish on their closed platform, you must use DRM, which is in violation of the GPL. Apple has it within their power to change their ToS to be compliant with the GPL, and allow more Free Software in the App Store. For obvious reasons, they do not.
It's certainly more intellectually fascinating than this tired criticism. Its being upvoted people find it interesting. There are many stories on the front page. If this doesn't interest you, read the next one.
I guess it's driven by the same motivation everyone else has: it's impossible to get a decent .com domain.
Ah, true... you could create custom metrics to trigger on... I was mentioning from the native ECS standpoint...

Also - all my information is only from the one day container session I attended at the pop-up last week... so I am certainly not an SME on ECS.

I think it may have gone something like this: "If you let me out, (and don't tell anyone how it came to pass) it will scare enough people into not letting the real AI out"

Otherwise, there would be no need to keep the data secret.
Perhaps the problem is less suburbia, more "hyperbia." Mid century planners focused heavily on recreating mini-cities to feed expansion from a central core. Everything you'd need (hospitals, schools, etc) should be within the city limits.

Reston, VA is a great example of this. Much of the workforce holds jobs elsewhere but the suburb is a community unto itself. One doesn't need to live in DC or make a long commute for a night on the town. Perhaps we can find in Reston a happy medium between distant exurbs and everybody on earth living in Manhattan.
Automated cars require less parking than the manual cars we drive now, especially since they don't require to be parked near their passengers during off hours and can spend most of their product lives on the road.

I'm not saying we shouldn't develop cities with pedestrians in mind, just that it's much easier to adapt a fleet of cars than rebuild an entire city.

Continuous Discussions (#c9d9): Episode 21 Recap – Implementing a DevOps Culture
I understand your argument, but there's another side of that coin. An MIT licensed piece of software can be taken by a company, improved in-house and distributed as proprietary, thereby depleting the community of improvements to the work they have made freely available under good faith. GPL also demands that all distributions contain source code so the user has freedom of tinkering with and inspecting the piece of software as they see fit; the core philosophy, as I understand it, is that since software is to be run on users' computers, they have a right to see how it works, what it does, and change its behavior if there is a need for that. I'm not advocating for blindly using GPL wherever one gets a chance (even RMS and the FSF use the more permissive LGPL for some of their work, most notably GNU Readline), but there are some compelling reasons for releasing your code under GPL, which are of course dependent on your particular case (there seems to be no one-size-fits-all solution for open-source/free software licensing).
"X runs on Y" at least implies Y is "lower level" than X.

There's got to be some way to transition to fully autonomous cars that could be implemented.

I'd really like to see something that would put a hard limit of ~15mph/25kmh on city streets for all motor vehicles. Upon entering a high-density zone, the car would automatically be put into a state with limits on speed, acceleration, horse power and adherence to traffic controls.

People would still be behind the wheel but they would be severely restricted in how they operate within the high density zone. Basically this would make horseless carriages be conducted in a manner more similar to horse carriages.
As I pointed out in my comment, I'm talking about the accusations of racism/sexism. In particular the accusations of racism regarding her peer bonuses, telling the "known racist" to "fuck off", etc. That seems to be completely unsubstantiated/refuted.

It's fair enough being upset about your peer bonuses being rejected. What is not okay is to just to some invalid conclusion about racism and then slander your company in public.

From what I've read around here, there's little to explain that matters basically, it's just a different URL, and a facelift. The fact that it's a different product is probably irrelevant to them, and not-knowing would be less confusing.
I'm pretty sure there is an /r/opiaterecovery or similar forum. Overall I think opiates is a good subreddit, because obviously with an addiction that strong there are going to be many people who refuse/aren't ready to quit.

I've hung out there for a few weeks, and I will say when someone posts "about to try Heroin the first time, any tips?" many of them will try to dissuade them from ever starting. And the people who post who are going through withdrawals and posting the lurid details of what life is really like as a heroin addict also serve as an indirect influence on others.

I disagree - and it would be perhaps helpful to actually go outside and watch physical reality a little bit for tons of counter-examples. Yes, the gradient at the edge of shadows is washed out by the "flood light" of the sky, but it's still visible. This is very obvious with shadows from tall objects such as buildings or towers - just go to the edge of the shadow and observe.
> Each package is of different quality, testing strategy, and depends on a different developer who's completely free to abandon his project tomorrow or introduce some backwards-incompatible change

Welcome to OSS! Really though, there's things like forking, community involvement and SemVer.

The project configuration reflects the developer's decision not to use webserver like nginx, otherwise things like serve-favicon and express.static would be unnecessary.

WTF? Programmers: Gain enough domain knowledge to talk to your customers and earn their respect.

If this is satire then well played, otherwise, get off your high horse already and remember who pays the bills.
> I'm not yet convinced that MIT-like, BSD-like, and Apache-like are any worse at perpetuating user freedom, and may in fact be far better at perpetuating user freedom due to their greater acceptance.

Well, the GPL mandates the right to use the application, and that a redistributor cannot restrict it (section 0, preambule and section 6, IIRC); that right is not guaranteed by MIT, BSD, MPL or Apache.
Famous Fluid Equations Are Incomplete
I think GPL is forbidden from the AppStore. That's Apple's rules to enforcing it.

And yet, the whole iOS environment uses several permissive licensed software. This is a very good example how they damage user freedom, thank you.
Create Maps Online: A comparison of 6 webmap providers
An MIT licensed piece of software can be taken by a company, improved in-house and distributed as proprietary, thereby depleting the community of improvements to the work they have made freely available under good faith.

However, this hypothetical ignores the reality that companies will often simply not touch GPL code rather than deal with compliance. It's not a choice between the MIT licensed code and the GPL licensed code, it's a choice between the MIT licensed code or anything else. Including reinventing that particular wheel in house.

(opinion follows)

In other words, the GPL reduces the amount of quality (software) in the world and ties developers' hands for the purposes of an ill-thought-out political goal. More annoyingly, it does so in the guise of user freedom, when in reality, the GPL does almost nothing for people who don't hack on code.

Report in English from WSJ:
http://www.wsj.com/articles/german-car-makers-audi-bmw-and-d...
While I don't think the original writers paid much attention to any of that, by the time Star Trek: the Next Generation began, computer security cracking was present in the popular culture. That's how the invading Borg were defeated, after all. At some point, when the plot for a current episode demands that it be possible for a ship to be controlled remotely, they then have to ask the continuity expert how to fix it so that the newly introduced thing doesn't significantly impact previous canon. That burden adds up across multiple seasons of multiple spinoffs.

The plot solution didn't even have to make sense. All they need is some technobabble, ready to spout for any fan wearing plastic ears who might stand up at a con and ask, "If Enterprise had capability X in episode Y, why wasn't that used in episode Z?"

In this case, it is very reasonable that someone, somewhere, might have asked, "What should we do if this command is used while the owner is driving along a busy highway at 70 mph, and executing it would stall out the engine?" This is a question that would provoke a stop-and-assess moment in even the most dysfunctional software company I have ever worked in.

From the architectures we typically see for in-car computer networks, it looks like no one is asking these questions.

Actually home invasion is an "exploit" of the home security (i.e. locked doors / windows).

Just because they do it from behind a screen doesn't make it a less culpable crime. Computers don't insulate you from ethics...

We put locks on our doors to prevent people from entering. They have always been exploitable but we use threat of laws to prevent it. Now we put locks in our software to prevent people from entering it (encryption). Somehow this generation believes that these locks are exempt from decency and law. It's sad that people think exposing vulnerabilities at any cost is righteous. There's plenty of people researching security in responsible ways. These two are not in that camp.

Have fun... it's no different than kicking your neighbors door down and tell him to pay you for exposing his security flaw. Still makes you are jerk.

Internet entrepreneur moving from NYC to a beach in Dominican Republic
One of the worst working experiences I've had in recent years was working in a first ring suburb in one of those office parks. Everything was falling apart. Even the nicer parts of the building had a strong "faux-opulence" feel. The firm was a publicly traded tech company. About a year after I left their biggest customer left and eventually they were delisted. Coincidence?
If memory serves, Nintendo hasn't been very enthusiastic about traditional multiplayer mostly due to negative player interactions (I recall seeing people being autobanned from Smash Bros because of repeatedly attacking the same person). They just want their players to have fun, and I think that it's possible (likely?) that Nintendo wants the ranks to be inflated. I'm sure there's some correlation to the fun factor and improving your own rank, and the server does not need to use that letter grade to make matches.

I think there may be an inflated letter grade for the players to show off, but the server ranks players against each other by another metric that is only loosely tied to that grade.
Hi there. I'm the reporter in this podcast (proof https://twitter.com/LSPollack/status/623548765497098240) and I wrote the related article too. Even if this only ever gets two upvotes, I'm flattered it was shared!

Can't speak for commenter above, but v3 has a "patent license" clause that is literally impossible for any large company to comply with.

Not just difficult or undesirable, but impossible.

GPLv3 requires you to offer a free license of any patent you have a license to that might apply to the GPLv3 software to anyone who might want to use that software. Almost any large company has at one time or another purchased broad patent licenses that cannot be sublicensed.

So GPLv3 is an absolute non-starter for any large company. You want to doom a product, license it under GPLv3. It may not instantly kill it, but it will slowly strangle it.
This is like testing the new trigger safety on a gun by firing into a crowd. Its incredibly negligent and unethical. That section of i-64 is very busy and the police should get involved.

Experimental Security Analysis of a Modern Automobile

"Even at speeds of up to 40 MPH on the runway, the attack packets had their intended effect, whether it was honking the horn, killing the engine, preventing the car from restarting, or blasting the heat. ... In particular, we were able to release the brakes and actually prevent our driver from braking; no amount of pressure on the brake pedal was able to activate the brakes. Even though we expected this effect, reversed it quickly, and had a safety mechanism in place, it was still a frightening experience for our driver."
It can be both, security researchers don't get a free pass just because they are exposing a wrong.

Had someone died you might (in countries which have it) get corporate manslaughter on a company that ignored security warnings. You absolutely would on the researchers and the journalist for their reckless disregard for the lives of others.

I challenge your assumption that gulp + browserify is more straightforward than webpack. Your setup is not representative of a real application.

I setup a project scaffold [0] with a configuration that supports development, production, and testing environments. It has a heavily commented webpack config.

No tests? No asset cache busting by updating name references? Come on, those are basic requirements for a web project.

On top of that, webpack lets your dependencies be resolved as part of your code, instead of relying on certain files being in certain folders: e.g. your css and images.

thanks for the feedback!

1. haha yes Kevin OP working with us on this. we've spent a lot more time on the backend tech than the front-end.

2. yes would love if you'd send the bad files! mike@shredvideo.com super helpful thx

3. yeah we could have more clear messaging here. we wanted to align our interests with the user's (as in: you only pay once we help you make a movie you feel is worth paying for), will continue to work this.

4. sounds like we need to make the app smarter when just a few pics are added. we first optimized for the case where user has lots of footage/photos.

5. this the reason for the unlimited SKU - save as many movies as you want! on content, we've found more and more artists are choosing to pre-roll an add when users upload their content, instead of blocking them outright.

thx again for the feedback! would love to hear more of your ideas for how we can make the app better, send any ideas or feature requests right to me mike@shredvideo.com thanks!
