Where's the disconnect? The OP claimed it was purely a republican move. The reality is that the powerful people in Michigan are Democrats and the state's top tier companies make some of the heaviest cars on the market. If the Demo

Michigan is the home of the US auto industry and that state is filled with politicians from the Democratic party. Ford and GM are making some mighty big vehicles and I'm sure their elected representatives (Democrats) are doing their be

I've always found academic research to be one of the most natural homes for open source software. It's in the paper formatting software (latex) and much of the lab software.

The NYT got rich telling fibs about Ukraine and you can see it on the big screen in the movie "Mr. Jones." Do I have to be polite to them? Anthony Appiah got rich at universities that dumped many millions of dollars of student loa

I am. I'm an author. And you're a fool if you think that free copies at the IA don't cut into sales. Oh sure, some percentage of the people wouldn't have picked up a copy in the first place if they had to pay, but there&

I agree. And I told my friends at the IA from the beginning that their plan was very, very foolish. People can look the other way at copyright infringement of web sites when it's just used for archival work. But when you're direct

But they do. The budget for the next productions will be slightly smaller. Yes, it's small but they add up.

Some fields like Computer Science have had double blind review for some time. Others, not so much. Still, smart reviewers know who is working in which area. They can usually identify the other person pretty quickly. It's not always 100

I don't. I like Glaser's. And also his IBM logo and a few others.

When people don't like Musk for whatever reason but usually it's political alignment, they just make up things. I see people continue to claim that Twitter is failing, even though it's been working fine every time I log into.

Yes. This would really hurt the ability for authors to make a living if everyone could do what the IA claims the right to do. It just won't work for sales to be cut off after a few physical copies by digital copies everywhere.

I just interacted with the WSJ several days ago. It was extremely annoying -- and probably painful to the poor customer service rep who has to take these calls.

I never knew Don Becker, but I knew Dave Boggs who died just last year. (The Turing Award committee should do a better job including more people, even the dead. Leaving Ralph Merkle off the public key award was petty.) https://ww

Also their economic status is determined largely by their parents who may or may not have similar political leanings.

Book publishers? As an author, I feel like the real problem is the EFF, the IA and the tech community here (who will mod this down as they always do). Remember, if the authors go bankrupt -- which is what happens when they don't get pa

A wall? How about a floor? I wanted to cover my kitchen in Penrose tiles but they didn't seem to be available. Anyone know where to get some?

I think the NYT's argument is that allowing obscure words drains excitement from those who don't know the word. They can't get a perfect score. So they have a choice of annoying you or annoying them and they chose to play to

Right. Aren't the guts just like big finite state machines so they can only encode regular expressions. They can't do things that require a stack like a context-free grammar or anything generated by a pushdown automata. And we can

I am also a strong supporter of them, but I wrote them immediately and said that this plan of theirs was both very illegal and insulting to artists, writers and creators throughout the world. The only reason we have professional or semi-pro

Let me offer a counter argument from a gambling friend of mine. He says that, sure, he often loses but sometimes he wins. What about the foodie snobs who blow a fortune to eat some weird recipe? What about the theater snobs who pay a fortun

Just curious. Has anyone experienced this claim: "Twitter’s revenue collapsing and the site itself going down for hours now on a regular basis," I don't spend much time on Twitter, but every time I've fired it up, I was

Yeah, it can be a pain to pay font creators, but I expect that this web designer would be annoyed if his clients complained about paying him. Yes, some of the mechanisms can be fragile or troublesome, but I think that's the market&#x27

The different rules for the leaders are actually stricter. The average worker gets secrecy and they can sell all at once. The leadership needs to set up a public plan and commit to it.

Yup. You can see it everywhere. Everything is fancier and nicer than it used to be. Just check out a 20 year old car to see how basic they used to be. I got in a new pickup truck yesterday and there were two switches for each heated seat. T

I'm not saying that the research universities aren't performing according to plan. Only that the plan was never focused on helping the undergraduates learn.

The sad thing is that major universities are filled with researchers who are distracted by pushing on the frontiers. They often do a very basic job with teaching.

It actually could be pretty lucrative. Not only have they gotten VW out of the mix, but they can renegotiate the salaries and stock options again. The market for talent is very, very different now. And all of those old options that the Argo

Corporate or union-run pensions were terrible. The companies or the unions or both would fail to fund them adequately. Or if they did fund them enough, they would mismanage the investment. Sometimes they would outright steal from the pensio

In many cases, the PO box number becomes the suffix of ZIP+4 so you could probably write 21240-1084. I have friends use this nine digit number as their return address. Note: the real barcodes use 11 digits. There are two extra digits beyond
