"Name and shame" is a thorny issue. Opponents are right in the same way you shouldn't badmouth former employers in job interviewers.

It ia not thorny. Discriminating on the basis of race is immoral.

It's not all that thorny really; you don't get any money from your third party patches. The indiegogo funding is for three man years of funded development work split between two men.

Pharmaceuticals are the thorny problem here. It's true that it takes hundreds of millions to bring a drug to market and it's easy to reproduce so some protection is required.

And I think that is where that debate gets very thorny, because the compensation is not always worth the costs of uprooting someone from their home.

I read the post and I have to say that he's got a nice flamebait title but totally avoided the thorny issues that people argue about. In fact, I'd like to be pointed to a solution for the following problems: 1.

What a pleasantly amicable settlement of what could have been a thorny issue. I get so used to people trying to abuse patents and trademarks I'm now shocked when they say "Oh, ok, I see what you mean, fine we'll do this differently."

Then comes the thorny issue of queues. Most otherwise relatively competent developers will struggle to get this right in a way that is not either slow or full of race conditions.

Ignoring the seriously thorny legal bramble that the OP has run headlong into with nary a concern. There is a bounteous variety of comments of the form "Paypal sux!

This is another one of those thorny semantic problems that are preventing us from understanding each other. There is a sense in which it is superficial, and another sense in which it is a substantial change.

Now imagine a really thorny issue like the Bible or a particle physics paper. Imagine if every document in the world were created and maintained using the same bug free version of word with change tracking on.

I mean what good is that if you aren't going to: > tackle some thorny infrastructure issues that are huge barriers in the developing world, particularly the long-distance transmission of data to far-flung places. So, this is no Loon.

While this is a thorny challenge there are well understood, if imperfect, ways of addressing it that have been around for decades. At minimum it works like ssh, where you get a warning when an unfamiliar new key is presented and decide whether to trust it or not.

There are approximations for waiting times, but they depend on all sorts of thorny higher moments of the general distribution of checkout times. But if instead we assume the checkout times are randomly distributed, we have a M/M/R system.

While I agree it's eminently reasonable, it can sometimes take a day or two to work through a thorny issue, regain a sense of calm, and write something reasonable.

Bundler solves dozens of thorny issues that were intractable in the Rails system. Now Rails is simpler because it doesn't have to have any gem activation code, it's handled by a separate library that can solve your gem management problems for your non-Rails projects as well.

I recently researched the thorny issue of what consititutes art, and the leading idea in that field is a cluster theory: a set of ten ideas which commonly associated with things accepted as art. Some objects don't have all ten, but together they provide a powerful guide.

I'd say from the outside looking in it is a thorny subject, but in my observance BGC are good people who care about their community and are giving back to it through the knowledge and resources they've accrued.

It's such a shame that gender politics have created so many thorny issues in our industry, but you can't bury your head in the sand and pretend they're not there. If we had good female representation in the industry and we didn't have a small cluster of vocal misogynists, we'd be able to make cute jokes that play on gender.

Subdivision surfaces as implemented in RenderMan have been a thorny issue in VFX for many years. Most production facilities wind up implementing their own version of subdivision surfaces for other production tools, but still rely on Pixar's implementation for rendering.

Obviously my experience is a single sample from the distribution, yet I wonder if others have observed a correlation between their own or others parent's attitudes towards answering their children's thorny questions and life / career attitudes? Perhaps it simply comes down to genetics?

Meanwhile, he displays a frightening lack of understanding of the subject matter, and perhaps most disturbingly, in some of his more alarmist articles advocates that computer scientists should step aside and make room for psychologists, philosophers, lawyers, and politicians to sort out these thorny issues at the big boy table. Kurzweil is certainly fair game for legitimate criticism, but Marcus calling Kurzweil a joke is an even big joke in itself.

It has avoided the very thorny choice of law issues that can arise where the contracting parties are in different locations by essentially having the parties agree up front to be legally bound by what amounts to a free-floating form of law to be applied by the arbitrator regardless of what technical choice of law issues would normally prescribe. It has avoided the problems that can arise with discovery procedures in arbitration by limiting the whole arbitral process to a 1-day to 3-day exchange of evidence by email exclusively.
