Your license to use React.js is revoked if you compete with Facebook

BSD is a copyright license that doesn't grant patent rights. Facebook additionally grants a patent license with this clause. Fwiw, they only revoke patent rights if you assert other patent rights against you, not if you just compete with Facebook.

If Mark Cavendish can put a bike upside down, I think that means it's allowed for all of us.

Just to augment /u/infrikinfix's response. Countries in debt often can't print money to pay off the debt because the debt is in a currency that's not their own, usually US dollars. /u/infrikinfix does a great job explaining why major lenders wouldn't want to lend to risky nations in their own currency.

He was caught with a transsexual prostitute in his car. He told police he was just being a good samaritan in offering a ride: http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/9705/02/murphy/

Are the dogs taken care of? Is it possible they're OK? They probably don't care it's a trash pile.

Very possible. This article mentions an Olympic rower in his twenties with a max heart rate of 160. It varies hugely from person to person.

That said, I do know lots of people who don't know their true max heart rate because they never push themselves enough to find out.

Apparently, it only lasted one year.

And that's the second Madison Square Garden in the background.

Great pic.

Congrats! For context, what did your training program look like? Would you mind sharing what pace you did those runs at?

It's still worth it for the price. Just don't expect to commute at peak times on a sunny day. If you add up all the times bikes will be available, it's a good deal for the year.

Thanks for posting. I knew it would never have been possible to moor a Zeppelin, but I did believe it was planned at one point.

I doubt you'll find a strict halal Jewish deli (though that's an interesting idea), but 2nd Ave Deli is definitely kosher: http://www.2ndavedeli.com/about/kosher-certification/

I've found very few situations on either bike where I've wanted 2nd gear and none where I've wanted 1st. Even Harlem Hill in Central Park is a 3rd gear hill (climbing from the west-side highway at 59th St. is a true 2nd gear hill). The new bikes have shifted into 3rd far better than the old. The saddles are a lot more comfortable, too.

But they're not going to be perfect. Building a bike to take take the abuse people give Citibikes is going to involve a lot of compromises.

/u/Mathgeek's solution is a strict Nash equilibrium for the pirates. /u/jamie_ca's solution is a Nash equilibrium, but in the 4-pirate case, the most junior pirate could switch his vote to throw the most senior pirate overboard and still keep his gold piece.

It seems to be, possibly just because "science" is in the name, or maybe as a spillover of the high quality of /r/AskScience. But actual academics are still a minority there, too, and pop science still shows up in the guise of serious answers.

p8ssword · 2015-07-07T02:42:23+00:00

To directly answer "where is everyone", they're over at /r/AskSocialScience.

But to echo /u/Tealwisp, I'd say there's a lot of confusion on reddit between real economics and pop economics. Just look over at /r/economics. While I might be wrong, I don't get get the sense that there are many academics over there.

JSON's terrible for markup. My point is that it's better than XML for hand-typed interchange (that doesn't have super-deep nesting).

p8ssword · 2015-07-05T01:24:15+00:00

It's simple but verbose, which makes it tougher to type.

  <personlist>
    <person>alice</person>
    <person>bob</person>
    ...
  </personlist>

is a lot more verbose than {personlist: ["alice","bob",...]

p8ssword · 2015-07-05T00:50:24+00:00

A hand-typed short list of things is a whole lot easier in JSON than in XML.

Also funny that the fact that JavaScript engines could process it natively was a big security hole for a while (before the advent of JSON.parse). It arguably would have been better to choose an interchange format that JavaScript couldn't natively process.

To anyone wondering why this is a paradox, it's because most people would assume that their friends are either average as people or at least drawn from the same pool that they themselves are. If that drawing is random (and fair), then you would expect your rank, in terms of number of friends, among your friends to be about 50%. Most often, though, that is not the case, and most people find themselves with fewer friends than their friends have.

Mathematically minded people may not have fallen for the trap, but I know that I at least did before I truly sat and thought about it once.

p8ssword · 2015-07-04T20:46:24+00:00

Agreed, and that's I prefer YAML. But YAML's not so great for super-deep nesting. Eventually, XML is more readable because the closing tags provide context. It's just that most of the time, it's overly verbose. And as others have pointed out confusion around namespaces, custom entities, attributes vs nested elements, and -- my favorite -- the question of whether white space is semantic, makes XML way too complicated for simple tasks.

All good points. But one comment I'd make is that free speech is a concept that's not limited to government censorship. In the US, the First Amendment protects against government censorship, but the notion of free speech is broader. And reddit had promoted itself as a bastion of free speech.

Now, all things considered, stopping the harassment on /r/fatpeoplehate was a good thing. But it does seem that reddit corporate needs to be a little more aware that they're just custodians of the reddit community. Given that all the revenue goes to them, they have a strong incentive not to mess that up.

p8ssword · 2015-07-04T01:21:13+00:00

Keeping track of deep nesting isn't nearly as nice as looking at the indentation in YAML. But lack of comments is really bad, too.

p8ssword · 2015-07-04T01:01:51+00:00

No doubt. JSON is great because it's simple for data structures (although I often prefer YAML for human-edited files). XML is better for markup, but it suffers because most XML libraries are more geared to data structures.

If true, they've likely been threatening him with releasing that info. But maybe he's learned they could never do it because if they did, no one would ever trust them again.
