People seem to be misunderstanding the point, and requirements of the DMCA Safe Harbor provisions. The take down procedure is to allow companies such as Github to avoid being involved in a dispute in any way. Meaning if a lawsuit should o

Yes a core feature of digital technology is copying it underlies everything. It takes extra effort to 'simulate' not copying i.e. collaboration, and that's why shared document collaboration like google docs etc. has really o

Non-technical users have always understood the concepts of: publish (or broadcast), share (or collaborate), and give (or send). The computer world is the one that limited these concepts. Before web: you can only copy and give. After web: yo

Make fun, but I think this is an excellent point about feature creep. If your target market already has a 'good enough' product offering how do you differentiate yourself to get someone to spend more on your equivalent product or

Well speed of testing is not the only consideration. Mocks are also (primarily?) intended to isolate your testing so you're not looking through an entire stack to find a bug. Often, especially in early phases of software they're

TDD on the unit level does seem to lead to high granularity, and complexity in the system as a whole in favor of simplicity in test construction. However, some of the problems described sound like they are coming from a premature optimizat

Agreed. I'm afraid, the famous quote about Dropbox from Steve Jobs about being a feature not a product is playing out. Dropbox doesn't even own the commodity they sell (as far as I know). They sell you on storage, but you receiv

Well you'd have to agree killing yourself at 44 has a pretty significant impact on your likelihood of reaching longevity escape velocity, no?

I'm no fan of warrantless surveillance, but this is a bit too much sensationalist thinking for hacker news no? The NSAs ability to look at your dropbox files has not been affected one way or the other by this appointment I'm sure

That seems to be around the age that people start feeling like they've 'missed the boat' if they aren't married, or didn't achieve their childhood ambitions.

Thanks, I agree. Of course my post is a bit tongue in cheek. Healthy nutrition and exercise are probably the biggest factors in living longer setting aside physical trauma. It even improves your mood, so I'm sure it lowers the suicide

Sadly I've found that most sources prefer to be academically rigorous over quickly comprehensible. Of course it's good that people have done the academic work, but it can be tragically comical how obtuse an academic paper can mak

So to achieve longevity escape velocity [0] 1. Don't have unprotected sex if you're less than 44 years old. 2. Don't kill yourself, or do drugs, if you're less than 54 years old. 3. Invest heavily in heart disease, cance

The depth part is actually much easer than you might think and we've had techniques for doing some aspects of it since the 80's if not earlier. One early technique was to take video form a mounted camera moving horizontally on wea

Very true. We do this kind of work in VFX all the time to reduce CG rendering costs for blurs that are expensive in 3d but cheap in 2d. Even with access to sub pixel (4x, 8x etc.) depth maps there are always lots of issues to deal with ar

That is difficult to assert since as soon as the DOJ finally did install the tap and got encrypted traffic (as he had told them they would from the beginning) they immediately insisted on the keys. I can't imagine they would not have d

Absolutely true. I didn't mean to imply that doing what you love to do means doing it literally 100% of your time. It's simply what you tend to do when you have a choice of anything at all. If on the other hand you are always pl

The answer to all such questions should be: "As early as you can." Here's the reasoning. If you are doing what you love to do, it should be nearly impossible to stop doing it. If you are doing what you love to do you will t

It's very difficult to grok without seeing it at many levels for many years. And your counter point is a good example of why. It's easy to point to Americans who have plenty of money and so shop at finer stores. Nevertheless, at

Everyone misses the point. Japanese are innovating, but the ingrained American values make most of us blind to the Japanese approach to innovation. Japanese aren't copying they are embracing an idea, comprehending it, and improving it

Interesting. However, your sources are rather obscure, and I'm not sure what you mean by "a weak form." I'd say a Baysian analysis is a way to evaluate the veracity of an argument from ignorance, not necessarily a repla

I agree this is incredibly surprising. Even beyond typical production testing it seems to me that critical infrastructure crypto should have a formalized testing structure based on logic and information theory (as I had assumed OpenSSL did
