Again, if it were not fixed until developed then labs would often acquire copyright by default. what you're missing about this case is the location of the artistic authorship at the neus of intentionality, ie where the photographer chose and possibly arranged) the subjet, framed and lit, made decisions about exposure etc. By contrast, the best developer int he world can't express any opinion about the content of an undeveloped film until it has sat in a developer bath for some minimum length of time.

I certainly think there's an aesthetic dimension to the development of film. I've sat there waiting for an image to show up on a tintype as well as on more conventional substrates. However, the process of a development is fundamentally one of transcription (with all the possibilities for selective amplification/suppression) rather than one of authorship. If I hand you an undeveloped photograph of a landscape to process, not only will you not be able to turn it into a portrait, but you won't know what the content is until the development process is mostly complete; you are in the same sort of position as a recording engineer who can modulate the fidelity with which a musical performance is recorded to tape, but who does to thereby become an originator - s/he does not choose what is to be recorded, or perform that rendition of a composition, notwithstanding the skill involved in accurately transcribing the sound to tape.

ISTM that you're overly hung up on the 'expression' aspect to the point that you think authorship occurs at the moment of expressibility. I mention the tape analogy because an audio recording can not be perceived directly after fixation; you could wave a magnetometer over tape, stare at the grooves on a record, or view a printout of the waveform, but none of these would recreate the original acoustic information (although they would allow reconstruction of it). Acoustic expression only occurs when the recording is brought into proximity with a sensor and transducer - an apparatus of some kind. And whether the recording can be heard properly depends on the configuration of that apparatus - set the volume to high or too low and even the best recording will be rendered to a cacophony or a ghostly whisper. I suggest to you that the development stage of photography is no more than a chemical apparatus and the role of the lab technician is largely one of monitor rather than author.

While a skillful darkroom technician can take unexposed film and create new images from scratch by 'painting' on film and photopaper in the darkroom, and likewise can modify the content of exposed film using similar techniques, the possibility of creativity does not mean that all darkroom work is necessarily creative. Back to the case of these WW2 pictures, the darkroom technician's role is essentially one of discovery - the very absence of prior knowledge about the content precludes any sort of intentionality about the result, and intentionality is the essence of authorship.
The discovery process is crawling I suppose, but only within the same site. It is always assured that the higher speed process accesses data that we want to parse. It does no navigation.

Aside from having the physical capacity for the suite to run 24/7, our main challenge is speed. All data must be parsed, matched to other data in our database and published with the lowest possible latency.

We have pretty strict validation. Addressing errors in retrospect is preferable to publishing incorrect data.

i despise religion and i despised the majority of my time at university, but i always enjoyed the classics department

in 2005 i took a class i thought sounded interesting, introduction to coptic

coptic is a middle egyptian language, somewhere between ancient and contemporary egyptian(i)

there are some 30 plus gospels written, when the church chose their canon they went with the four because they contained ideas and perspectives in line with the church's message, manipulation through ommission

these other gospels have fascinating insights into the breadth of perspective of people at the time

the vast majority of them were either written in or translated into coptic

magdelene and thomas are some hightlights of the thirty

for the class we were learning to read`translate coptic by translating a copy of the gospel of thomas

about midway through semester, as the fable went, a wealthy individual came on hard times and went through thaer attic looking for items to pawn off

one item was an ancient text.. upon further investigation this text turned out to be the gospel of judas

judas, the one who betrays christ

as it so happened, my professor was the leading coptic scholar in the states at the time, he lost out on the book deal to a higher ranked scholar on the world scene but he were given facsmiles of the fragments to aide in deciphering and translating

so one day he came to class and we put away thomas and this tiny room in the classics department with nine kids and a professor were some of the first to read the gospel of judas in millenia

some things struck me signifigantly:

the big payoff is during the garden scene, famously where christ sweats blood.. in judas' account judas goes to christ in the garden in secret and confesses to him: ~'i am the one you spoke of at the meal, i am the one who is going to betray you, and i hope you can forgive me for i have decided i am unable to go through with it'; christ responds: 'you need to continue with your plan.. you see, you need to do what you need to do so that i may do i what i need to do'

but my favourite was how every, every, instance of the word christ in the text was accompanied with the quantifier 'laughing'

Never heard of samuru so I tried to google:

samuru search engine

The "samuru.com" did not come up on first five pages. Then it starts suggesting samurai.

Contrary, searching

has the https://duckduckgo.com/ as the first result.
In my opinion, the government knew that stopping Miranda was wrong and they knew it would cause a bit of a protest, but they also knew that the vast majority of that protest would come from the liberal left, which in the UK is a small and relatively obscure part of society.

They did this because they really wanted to know what documents Snowden has in his possession. They made an educated guess that Miranda might well have the entire Snowden archive in his person.

Up until now the US/UK have been embarrassed several times by denying something, and then Greenwald releases something that proves otherwise. People in major positions, including the President of the United States have been made to look stupid.

Therefore, the risk of obtaining what is in the archives was worth a "small amount" of abuse of the terrorism act. Now they have the possibility of cracking that encrypted archive and finding out what is in there. They can then prepare to dilute each leak as it comes out.

I'm surprised that Greenwald / Guardian allowed this to happen. He should have known better. Miranda should have disposed of anything in his possession that had already been delivered. He should never have transited the UK. He should have had a burner laptop, and not one that left forensic residue.

Anyway, the damage is now potentially done. Even if encrypted, the NSA quite possibly has the resources to crack that archive. We'll see come the next few releases. If the US is embarassed again then they haven't cracked it. If they come out quickly with smart rebuttals, they've cracked it. Greenwald should come out and state how the data was encrypted. At least then we will know which encryption is / isn't safe once the computing power of thr NSA is thrown at it.
I hope this isn't a flippant remark, but no, not per current US standards on incarceration of transgender individuals. This has been a controversial issue for some time now.

Things that go wrong with Google searches for me on a weekly basis:

* I search from Firefox and my browser spends 30 seconds in the middle of the redirection from .com to .co.uk

* I click a search result and my browser spends 30 seconds waiting for the redirection/click tracking script, and there's no easy way to get the actual URL you are going to any more, so you have to wait

* I type in a query and the auto-refresh kicks in, but it lags, and I (unnecessarily, because I am not used to the auto-search feature) hit enter on the keyboard as well, which leaves Google in a completely broken state where updating the query and hitting enter or the search button has no effect

* I make a new search from Firefox and then perform a second search from inside that page, and the whole page locks up in the greyed out "I am loading more results" state. I hit refresh but the URL is still that of my original query, so I end up looking at that again instead

* The search-as-you-type feature is enabled, despite me having disabled it over a dozen times now (and yes, I am signed in)

For one reason or another, I have to wait several seconds to see my Google search results multiple times per day. That's a pretty low barrier for complaining, but it's also enough time to open a new tab, go to Bing.com, type in my original query again, and click the results - all before my Google query finishes loading.

Other than issues with the unnecessary number of HTTP requests between my clicks and actually getting to the page I want, the obvious sticking factor is the search-as-you-type feature: It's reimplementing too much of the normal browser cycle, but isn't implemented well enough to not fall over, and these types of solutions don't integrate well with the tools I have to control page loads (the stop and refresh buttons).

Edit: Also as a programmer I realise I am not in their 99% use case, but it is incredibly difficult for me to find the information I need these days. The auto-correct feature is in overdrive compared to how it worked a few years ago, and frequently 'corrects' technical terms to totally useless queries. Aggravating the issue is the removal of the '+' operator, and the fact that even quoted search terms now allow synonyms and corrections. There are lots of other issues with the search results in recent times, such as the predilection to give me 10 results all from the exact same website, but I drilled down on the technical issues because frankly the search results are still better on Google than their competitors. But the technical implementation and user experience? They are falling behind in those areas.
Taking the clients of your former employer would be unethical as well. Yes, they haven't done the right thing by their clients, but doubling the ethics deficit doesn't make everything right.
"Google's spokesperson just shook their head"
Actually, the cert does apply, because 'github.com' is explicitly listed in the subjectAltName extension. (Names in that extension are considered valid alternatives to the common name in the subject; see RFC 5280 4.2.1.6.) It really is a wget bug, or more likely an OpenSSL bug.
That's a good move. YouTube to Google is more than enough for the world's "regular" video needs although the one hour length will be missed.

RTMP is missing basic features for modern scalable distributed video delivery (video from more than one server), which is odd since it was actually late to the game.

Meanwhile, these newer HTTP streaming (not talking about progressive download or pseudo streaming) protocols let you leverage much more widely adopted and understood delivery platforms.
As far as I can tell, there are no Open Source streaming servers that support (realtime) HTTP Live Streaming. I think this is a massive shame and I would LOVE to see one.

So I think it makes great sense for Adobe to add support for this as there are so few HTTP Live Streaming solutions out there right now.
Regardless of how much of an "abomination" RTMP is, Apple's system is a huge hack:

1. It's taking a transport stream format based around a buffering model... but as far as I can tell, completely ignoring the actual buffering model itself. Instead of working within the MPEG buffering model, it simply makes some arbitrary restrictions on the size of each chunk, which doesn't make any sense.

2. Aggravated by 1), the latency of the system is horrible. Good luck using "HTTP live streaming" for anything that needs less than 5 seconds of latency, let alone 0.05 seconds.

I can implement a videoconferencing system in RTMP. I sure as heck can't do it with "HTTP live streaming".

Now, does it work well for some use-cases? Sure, but it's definitely not a replacement for all aspects of RTMP.

(Also, obviously as you mentioned the link is biased, but it's actually not even relevant to your post: it's comparing Adobe's software to Microsoft's software, not comparing protocols. Talking about Adobe's software is very silly when nearly everyone actually uses Red5, Wowza, etc. For example, it mentions that the latency is ~6 seconds, but the company I work for has that down to ~100 times less.)
Did it actually run a clone of the open sourced Arc HN?
> I think you're throwing in the "all" in your response as a back door out of what you and the OP have said: [some of the] people posting on HN are whiners with an entitlement mentality.

I put the 'all' into my response because I'm tired of you forcing everything to extremes. I will say in no uncertain terms: some of the people posting on HN are exhibiting an entitlement mentality. Reading all of the posts reveals this fact.

> If it is a misrepresentation then I'm not sure what this whole thread has been about. Are we discussing theoreticals that are not actually seen anywhere?

Once again, you keep forcing things to extremes. Most of life, including this, is not all-or-nothing, yet you seem to keep insisting that this is for some bizarre reason. We are discussing things I have observed that do not happen to fit the extreme case you posted.

> The guy just found out he's very likely working way under his market value.

But for a value that he admits he was already happy with nevertheless. He could potentially get more, but he was happy with what he had before he learned of the difference.

> Do you have some reason to believe he is a petty person instead of a rational one?

The previous combined with the fact that he was unhappy with the amount he received after learning he could receive more. The utility of the money he was receiving did not change; he was still able to perform the exact same happiness-increasing things with it, but now he's suddenly unhappy with it. This is entirely irrational.

> Of course the time is intricately tied to the amount of money it is worth, otherwise why bother?

I said nothing about the time; it is happiness that should not be so intricately tied to money. Selling my time may not be my greatest desire, but if I'm already happy with the price at which I'm selling and find out I could sell for more, my happiness can only decrease if my happiness is intricately tied to money.

> Then your market value might be higher than mine because I'm not willing to. I'm ok with that.

How is this not leaving money on the table for no other reason than some feeling of happiness?

> I think it's about market value

If it's market value for market value's sake, how is that not money for money's sake? If that's not what you mean, what the hell do you mean such that it's still possible to be less happy with the exact same buying power?
Yes exactly, the riots and burned down buildings across the country over the past few years have just been youthful expressions!
I don't know anyone who has a problem with books that contain a dash of fantasy, or indeed, nothing but fantasy.

A fantasy book with dragons is enjoyable. A book that claimed that dragons really existed historically and were instrumental in William the Conqueror's victory at the Battle of Hastings is not enjoyable, it's just weird.

ASoIaF (and Martin) is quite clear that his dragons are fantasy, so they're unobjectionable. The problem is that Martin has been equally clear that he intends some other elements of the world to have been historically accurate.
Speaking as somebody with a Masters in digital anthropology and almost 5 years non-technical experience with startups, who is also a comp sci student now to round out my qualifications, gender does sometimes matter when it really shouldn't.

That said, I don't think focusing on it as a definitive characteristic is helpful at all. I bought codegoddess.com thinking I could make some awesome online hub for female coders, and then realized a chromosomal marker isn't a very good distinguishing feature.
It is amazing that you can get a piece of software for free (with language packs for an extra low price)

The most commonly used hashers are pwdhash, supergenpass and magicpassword. Given that they all use hashing algorithms, none of them will result in a password using special characters, which is not optimal.

You missed the obvious, but none the less ignored, idea (at least in the US we pretend) that governments govern with the consent of the people. Perhaps someone wouldn't mind speaking up?
It was really one area. The TV in the living room. MS feared that Sony would end up winning that with the PlayStation and then use their consumer electronics arm to have an integration stranglehold on the living room.

You have to remember that this started back in 2000 (or so). Nobody had a clear vision of Netflix or Roku or Hulu.

I don't think they ever worried that Sony would take Office, but I think the fear was that they would move computing to appliances and take Windows revenue... now that fear is the iPad will do it.
If it's "fair market value," then why do they need to exercise eminent domain in order to force the sale? I don't see how this can ever be considered OK.

In the U.S., this is specifically discussed in the fifth amendment to the Constitution: ...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

This suggests that government may choose to take private property for public use so long as the compensation is "just". Note that "just" may not be the price that you want the government to pay, but it might instead be based on some other theory of justice, such as the current market value for similar property.

Now, not everything allowed for by the Constitution is morally desirable. (Recall the "3/5ths of a person" compromise.) But the U.S. government does have a defensible rationale for eminent domain; our ancestors agreed to the Constitution, and we haven't ever amended that part of it.

However, the Constitution also says "public use." I'm always very leery when there are private actors involved, not the least because there's a huge incentive to corrupt the government.

But they're not just text and a few images. They're text, a few images, and megabytes of advertising (and often tracking) JS.

The site creators will argue, with some merit, that the crap is necessary to provide income in order for them to create and maintain the site.

You can make the browsers lighter, but they wouldn't browse today's Web. Which is fine; I'm all for getting away from the shitshow that is today's Web, but simply making browsers lighter weight would not be a winning Jenga move.

> Smaller companies looking to grow/formalize should exercise caution when looking at the rating/performance/promo process @ FAANGs / MS as a model for their own.

Robert Townsend had a comment that stuck with me, you don't get to be GM by behaving like GM. Which is beware of cargo culting successful organizations as they exist now. I'll also suggest don't cargo cult hyper funded startups if you aren't one either.
Exactly so, if they can actually read, understand, internalize and apply the dense content that CLRS delivers, 5 chapters a day (and mind you, he mentioned some of the more dense chapters in one of these 5 chapters days), that would have made for a much more interesting post.

I would never recommend anyone to try and read CLRS in two weeks, or even a month. Even if you could do that, I think it would be much better to get through a chapter then try to apply the algorithms of that chapter to Leetcode/Codeforces question and cycle through the subjects as you advance through the book in a spaced repetition technique.

For me and for many other people the linear approach for studying that they suggest is far from ideal.

lambda never mentions anything about Organic. Organic is not the same as humanely raised meat, nor hormone free. And, IMHO, Organic standards are so varied and in many cases silly that the green label isn't even a tell for a desirable product by my terms.

In my experience, texture is very noticeable when comparing "supermarket" meat vs locally raised, hormone-free meat.

As far as Veganism goes: I rather not take a vitamin supplement--it seems unnatural.

And others are unsuccessful at being omnivores.

There are a host of other nutrition problems that may be completely unrelated to whether meat is in one's diet. It's not very fair to blame vegetarianism, which is usually considered a pretty safe diet.

2) Be passionate

3) Get your name out there(blogs)

I tried reading it, then skimmed after page 10, then really skimmed/skipped after page 15. I'm not the target audience and maybe I've heard/read it all too many times to care to read it again in 30 slides.

I really didn't care to read quote from misc bloggers with their self-named domains. Seems like the part of the post was to get his name and other bloggers names out there.

I would have preferred to find out what the author did to get himself jobs with authors, VCs, directors, etc. He never goes into details about that. I don't care about quotes and general ideas. I want the real details about exactly what he did. Maybe I skimmed/skipped too much?
I'm surprised there wasn't a big fuss about the audio recording. Just one person asking if there was video being recorded, and a lot of people not wanting to make declarative statements on record.

Does this mean that officials have accepted the fact that citizens can legally record them performing their duties?
