oh, and I'd love to let my users use nightmare in their scrips, but I don't know an easy way to sandbox the requested phantomjs instance :(

skype on android is really, really bad. it doesn't even bother to tell you if your wifi is turned off. it'll just "ring ring ring ring" then show a message that the person wasn't available.

what kind of neural network is used? I hear big things about RandomForest Classifiers/Regressors, so hope it's that.

I guess I'm a little late to the party, but can someone comment on the issues TJ mentions? Specifically, I've never seen problems with callbacks being double-executed. Under what conditions would it occur?

I think a key point you make is regarding a for-profit company turning around and utilizing the non-profit assets. If all OSS was 501c3 material, it would be easy to abuse for private R&D purposes.

I only have two personal anecdotes: My own childhood growing up in Washington State, and my experience in Thailand for the last 7 years. In the USA, we often hear about how our (USA) school systems are too easy/relaxed compared to for

A nice hypothesis, do you have any examples that show this to be true? The realist in me bets that innovation has only a weak relationship to IP laws, and rather a strong relationship to a certain world-view that fosters innovation since ch

I don't think it's important what alternative they are suggesting. The important point is that the developers (?) are advocating that users stop using their product. Forest through the trees, if you will.

This slide deck is misleading. CS is supply constrained, not demand. I went to UW and wanted to major in computer science. At that time (1997), they accepted 80 students per year into the program. 80. Guess how many students applied to t
