By this logic any job that offered a way to make money during covid could be called "preying on" people. Offering work when people need it is not predatory. I think there are a lot of consequences to this type of work that young women don't consider, not least that they will have a lot more trouble finding a husband (and maybe a job) in 8 years, but that doesn't by itself make the work predatory.
It depends what you're installing, which isn't clear from your comment, but the big reason that installing racket takes a while is that it's quite a lot of software, and it does significant compilation ahead of time.

Ah, my people.
That is an awful story. It is, however, one that will be cited at every machine shop and woodworking class from now on.

This could easily have been any of my peers in graduate school. Lots of us did work late at night, and there are lots and lots of ways to injure or kill yourself with shop equipment. You have to take the work very seriously, be sure you are alert, and whenever possible do your work when other people are around.

Meanwhile: You really, really want the supervisor of your machine shop to be a merciless drill instructor [1] who takes no crap. And you want the people who can't pass boot camp to be sent home without a key to the shop. Why?

A) You, yourself, need more training than you think.

B) Even if you are an expert, you want to be very sure that the person working next to you is trained. You may not be the person who makes the mistake, but you could still be the person who gets electrocuted, or struck by flying parts from a nearby spinning lathe, or crippled when you slip on the spilled oil and drop the hundred-pound vise on your foot [2], or injured by the broken machine that wasn't properly taken offline, labeled, and locked.

C) It's not just the fatal mistakes that will drive you crazy. I've worked in a lot of shared shops. They will waste your time. Waste it by the month and by the year. Because the equipment gets dented, or stripped, or burned out, or rusted, or dirty. It only takes one incompetent or un-conscientious person to ruin something. Entropy is annoying that way.

There's a reason why, e.g., every machinist has their own little box of tool bits and chisels and favorite screwdrivers, and why chefs never let other chefs use their knives.

---

[1] The similarities between good infantrymen or sailors and good machinists (or contractors or modern farmers, for that matter) have been remarked upon before. In all these cases, you're constantly putting your life in the hands of the equipment that's being maintained by your peers.

[2] When your shop instructor gives you the lecture about the steel-toed boots for god's sake get some steel-toed boots and wear them.
Java is fast for long-running applications. Once the JIT kicks in, important code is natively compiled. But it does take a long time to start. This is why Java is big in the server space, and not so much for desktop applications.

The same holds true for Lucene. It works wonderfully well for most queries. These optimizations are strictly for fuzzy queries, which no one ever used in my deployment at least.

This is the absurdity of performance measurement. Everyone wants to quantify it into a single score. But doing so is like making a 100m track sprinter race a cross country runner. Wtf is your criteria?
There are some good things on the later slides that refer to the test suites and documentation. From experience, that knowledge is really useful if you want to start making changes and fixes to the compiler and libraries.
That's pretty condescending. How many sports fans know how to be a pro athlete or manage a team? How many critics of government, "know what they're talking about," by your standard?
Re you citing that caselaw. Abandonment and forfeiture as considered therein _do_not_ exist as they are reliant on parts of the USC which no longer exist subsequent to USA ratifying Berne (and the ensuing changes to registration and requirements to affix the © symbol and all that).

I'm not sure why you're citing the Berne Convention it seems pretty uncontroversial. Are you suggesting negatives aren't a "material form" of fixation for an image? Initially you said:

>"Undeveloped film is arguably not a tangible medium suitable for communication" (shawn-butler, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8905254) //

Can you point out where TRIPs or the USC requires "suitable for communication"? Better would be to cite current caselaw that discusses this "suitability" clause.

>"You can't claim copyright on that which is not authorable nor transmittable.. i.e. in a medium that can be copied." (shawn-butler, above) //

These conditions are quite unrelated. You can certainly claim copyright on sculptures, such as the Angel of The North, and on buildings which are not "transmittable" to any useful degree. A "work" is necessarily the product of an author for the purposes of all copyright legislation I've seen as elsewise they are not "works" for the purposes of that legislation. Truism and error by turns.

I can create a work by splattering baked-beans on my wall. It's authored. It is not transmittable except by secondary reproduction. It can be copied. If you take a print from those beans, by pressing paper on my wall, then you create a (reversed) image which is a derivative work. You may have made a lovely piece of paper and taken great care over making the print but it is I who created the initial work which you "copied" [ie derived your work from]. Whilst you have perhaps acquired a copyright in your print (by your creative production of it, say) it relies on my creative work and so is derivative. You could not lawful sell or reproduce your work without satisfying my conditions for license (until my copyright expires of course).

FWIW in the OP the Universal Copyright Convention gives the developer of the photos 10 years of protection as a minimum IIRC for this first publication of the original photographer's works.

[OT: I'm sure your arrogant insinuations as to the inexperience of others do not progress the discussion. If there is some material error then IMO you'd do well to point it out directly rather than insinuate it by way of ad hominem commentary.]
Cleaning paying low salaries is mostly a labor surplus problem that permeates the entire economy.
This is the conventional retail investor perspective. But also, its a tautology. gravitates toward intrinsic value? The current price is the intrinsic value, the market prices in all durations, short or long run.

What you're trying to say long term market value correlates with technical analysis, but is this true? You can't prove/ disprove this, because its "intrinsic value" can just be replaced with "price".

So IMHO, your words are equivalent to: "The correct perspective, aka reality, is that price gravitates towards the price in the long-term."

I've been using Firefox since the Phoenix/Firebird days, and I fear the day that Google ends their search funding to the project.

They are absolutely on the right track with Mozilla improving the actual -browser- with all of these new privacy features and core improvements. This could put them in a position to create a revenue stream independent of Google, where people would actually be willing to pay to have a browser wholly decoupled from these ad companies.

I worked for a company that 'on-shored' COBOL and RPG programmers. Many of the Senior Engineers were called out of retirement and were training up the younger folks hired. They placed their main office in a rural area which kept costs low and, for the area, they were paying great money, particularly for the entry-level engineers.

To your point about not making 'big bucks', you're right, but it's nothing to shake a stick at if you really want to get after it.

Unfortunately, the text by Gallier and Quaintancis is somewhat obsolete because it misses the following developments:

* Gödel failed to prove inferential undecidablity in foundations for reasons outlined here:

* That "theorems of an order can be computationally enumerated" is true but unprovable for reasons outlined here:

The footage of the people that actually got into the Senate seems to disprove this painting of the events. I didn't see anyone attempting to abolish the government or whatever.

I felt oddly vindicated when he mentioned Ticketfly specifically... It irked me too that they don't allow guest checkout, so in making http://showboarder.com I put in the extra thought/effort to make it an option.

That said, having implemented this I can see why many services don't. It's an entire other case to consider when thinking about security, user experience, etc. and for many it could definitely be more trouble than it's worth. It's just a question of values if you make it a priority or not.

Not that there's no market for specialists in older technology - back in 1999 I heard rumours that COBOL experts were commanding huge salaries to work on millennium bug mitigation in banks. But people following that career path should be choosing it consciously, not by accident :)
I think that those people just need to learn to live without regrets, especially because it seems a lot easier the further removed (in time) that you actually are. It's especially useful to live without regrets when you like where you are (or where you are headed) in life, b/c it's possible that those changes in your past could have turned into a worse present (or future) for you.

Two things I think of when I think NYC:

1. Frakin' Expensive
2. Not San Francisco

I feel like places like SV and SF can justify high prices because they already have a lot of stuff going on there. If NYC doesn't, how does it make it worth peoples' while by offsetting the financial barrier to entry? I don't immediately see how another engineering school alleviates this, but hey, maybe it will?

I am sure if my financial situation where different, I would still feel the same

Don't be so sure. In the last fifteen months, I've gone from being completely broke to having no debt and about a year's salary in the bank. In my experience, it's much easier to make dispassionate and rational decisions when you're not in imminent danger of losing everything.
In Australia you put a debt like this in the hands of a collection agency, who either buy the debt from you, or collect the debt on your behalf and take a %. They use whatever means of coercion (legal means of course) they have to extract the money from the person.
that's an old wives tale, ever called the cops yourself? I did.

Was involved in a hit and run, reported the guy right away, took them 2 hours to show up.

Had a tree fall on power lines, took them and the fire department 40 minutes to show up...granted there were no sparks flying. But still.

Had 2 accidents, first time had to wait for 4 hours for them to show up. The second time 30 minutes.

The point being, is that it takes a while for cops to actually act, and by the time they do, the guy you wasted precious time reporting, already left the jurisdiction
This works just as well for the human immune system as well. Having certain diseases makes you more susceptible to others. Case in point, the HIV virus causes AIDS, but generally death is described as "complications due to AIDS", e.g., non-Hodkins Lymphoma causes about 28% of death due to AIDS related complications (http://www.hivandhepatitis.com/recent/2008/082608_a.html).

Also, if you consider gossip as an unavoidable negative trait (i.e., society will never eliminate it, but we all kind of wish we could), then there are direct analogues in biology. Diarrhea, for example, is analogous to gossip in that sense. And it is a major vector for biological infection.

I suspect you could stretch the analogy even further, but my point is that biological systems have some pretty complex interactions as well.
Being a Canadian I have always been surprised at how limited debit card use at retailers is in the US. Part of it is due to my card being from Canada but it also has to do with the antiquated system of fees for using the interchanges.

> it's common knowledge that anyone going faster than you is a maniac, and anyone going slower than you is a moron.

So you're of the position that there's no such thing as a bad driver and that anyone who says there is is just going too slow? Not a very well thought out or reality based position if you ask me.

I have thought about this years ago, simply because it is also kind of the way humans search in telephone books. (Advantage of being born in a time when telephone books where still in use). I think humans would also do repeated interpolation, as some letters would be "thicker" (more pages in the book) than others.

One thing sticks out as a red flag to me: they invented their own spot index (the Winkdex(R)) to price their NAV and that index includes BTC-e. BTC-e is a widely used site in the Bitcoin world, but no one knows who operates it or exactly where they are located (Bulgaria? Russia?). You would seriously base a large component of your index pricing an SEC regulated instrument on a number coming from unknown individuals who can not sign a contract or accept any liability? When people in the Bitcoin world always wonder "Why did X not include BTC-e?? How incompetent!" they never stop to think that there is no one on the other side that can pick up the pen.
He has a point, you know. His claims are:

1) IS is not a terrorist organization, it is an army.

2) IS is better, or at least not worse, than existing middle east governments.

1 seems pretty obvious to me. Sure, they are terrorizing the local population, but lots of governments do that without being labeled terrorists. 2 is more difficult to swallow. Many ME governments are pure garbage, but IS looks a lot worse.
