All patents are bad patents. The ownership of ideas is immoral. It is an affront to human dignity, and retards social & technological progress. We must work for the abolition of idea property just as our ancestors fought to abolish human property.
It ain't a "free" lunch - you just pay for it by giving Google all your personal info, rather than by giving them dollars.
Sounds plausible. Any evidence?
Big Brother / Google IS watching your every move. But what does that have to do with "Search Nearby"??
Right... the threat of a comically-draconian sentence is used to coerce the defendant into a false confession ("plea bargain"). Thus we keep the gulags nice & full, and the citizens entombed therein are expected to show gratitude for being "let off" with a mere year or two in a Federal Torture and Rape Facility.
Spoken like a true motorist...
What crime - any crime - justly deserves 124 years in the gulag? The court apparatus has gotten badly out of control, to the point where it no longer seems interested in maintaining even the appearance of fairness or legitimacy.
Different experiences, I guess. I've never worked with a company where the CEO worked even a bit longer than the average employee.
And honestly, your example with the CEO of a well-established company sounds more like an unfortunate example of bad time management and/or a desire to avoid his personal life, than an admirable example of hard work.
And going to "fancy dinners with clients" is about networking: keeping current clients happy and trying to get new ones. You know, to produce income?
As said, it may well be quite valuable to the company. But it is nevertheless more similar to leisure than to labor.
I call BS on the claim that CEOs typically work significantly longer hours than their employees. I've never once observed this first-hand at any company I have worked with. Also some CEO activities such as going to fancy dinners with clients, while perhaps important to the company, are closer to leisure than to work.
Unless io.WriteString() automatically prepends the appropriate HTTP headers, you've linked to an example of not only having to understand HTTP to write hello world, you've got to write your own webserver, and your example does so incorrectly.
The example works correctly. From the docs:
If WriteHeader has not yet been called, Write calls WriteHeader(http.StatusOK) before writing the data.
left = right = totalitarian
Roku removed access to it for new users but those of us who already had the channel kept it on our boxes.
I love Roku's hardware and simple UI; but I hate being inside their walled garden.
WTF - I've had an official-looking YouTube channel on my first-gen Roku for 3 years. Don't recall doing anything special to get it, either. Is this article total BS; or did newer version of the Roku have it removed??
"Vote Ima Krook for Senate!" <-- political message
Did I just spread that message without spending money? I suppose it did cost something - an infinitesimally small depreciation on this workstation, plus a similarly tiny fraction of electricity, internet, & rent bills.
