I know of one legal blogger who complains that certain copyright lawsuits really ought to be trademark suits (e.g., https://scrivenerserror.blogspot.com/2007/11/accio-lawsuit.h... , https://scrivenerserror.blogspot.com/2005/05/fan-fiction-tan... , https://scrivenerserror.blogspot.com/2005/05/fan-fiction-end... , https://scrivenerserror.blogspot.com/2005/05/fan-fiction-tan... ). But the courts generally play along and accept “copyright” suits that seem to be judged on trademark principles (but punished according to copyright law).
Yup. I'd expect to see many more citations going forward. In particular, I'd be excited to see how this ends up getting used in practice, e.g., training and running very large models running on distributed, masively parallel "neuromorphic" hardware.
> Are there any anti virus for Linux that does that heuristic type scanning that you see on windows?

Next to none.
If you believe that, then your answer is anti-trust -- not taxes. You also need to cut all red tape for small businesses which right now are enormous especially in places like NYC (property taxes alone are a travesty).

All taxes do is make the government a business partner of the 'imperialist' entrepreneur. It won't bring back the small town businesses or anything else about the past that you idealize.
Publisher pays for making the game, and pockets a proportion of the sales revenue.
Yeah I agree. For some reason, Red Bull is just better than other energy drinks. The other ones taste “cheap”
I've seen multiple published (not peer reviewed) rebuttals published in academic papers within a week or two during this pandemic. Not everything published needs to be peer reviewed before going before a wider audience - twitter simply isn't the platform for generating useful dialog - maybe for any context, but certainly not in an academic context.

edit: do you recall the paper that made waves in the U.S. claiming covid causes heart damage? That paper was published and editted prior to peer review based on criticism multiple times within a week or two IIRC - the appropriate way to handle conflict in science isn't by trying to get twitter to chime in and make things personal. Ioannidis "attacks" were unprofessional - in my mind, though, they were absolutely not on the level of trying to call out an author on twitter.
You could take issue with the accuracy or provenance of the file (which we can then discuss if you actually do rather than merely insinuate you could) but nonetheless it is none of "vague text from a cardboard cut, predatory sensationalists, all cross referencing each other" which is what you originally claimed.
You limited B to internal matters, which generally means company confidential. Unless the matters concern legal violations (a different conversation about whistleblower regulation and protection), why on earth would you have “a huge problem” with confidentiality agreements and NDAs? Especially when you sign those agreements as a condition of employment?
Some would argue the desire to censor is a disease of the mind. Or perhaps, a symptom of a mind plagued by fear of the unknown and shaken by the threat of new information.
> Could he have reasonably predicted that he would fall asleep at the wheel?

Such things sometimes can't be predicted. If you fall asleep because of exhaustion, you don't necessarily see it coming (it happened to me several years back, one minute I was fine and the next I blacked out). You cannot criminally persecute a person for falling asleep. Only if he did something against the law, like also being under the influence of alcohol.

> Did the supervisor actually threaten him into taking an extra-long shift?

You know very well that supervisors rarely have to threaten their subordinates in low-end jobs. I have a personal acquaintance who's a truck driver. And he was explaining to me how when the new management came in, they first did some lay-offs based on silly reasons and after that nobody dared arguing.

Also do some reading on Japanese culture. Subordinates rarely question their bosses (or change jobs for that matter). It happens in many cultures. If you're from the US, then what's natural to you may not apply in other countries or cultures.

I'm not saying that blame cannot be assigned (it can clearly be, especially in the case of broken engineering designs), but seeing people here suggesting "ritual suicide"? OMG.
The Mac Pro is a significant redesign, but not a new product line.

Apple has often (in recent years) been in a position where significant portions of their revenue are from product categories which did not exist 2 years ago. There is a fear that they will not continue to invent/expand into new categories.
I wouldn't really say it pushed innovation forward. It's a mac with heavy specs. The only thing innovative about it is the enclosure -- which, while novel, isn't terribly noteworthy.
Doesn't the database server just escape the data in the parametrized query? So if you used the database's escape functions directly wouldn't it be the same thing? I guess if you are arguing that developers are more likely to mess it up than the database server then I see your point.
TLDR from your favorite slush-pile-as-a-startup: It's an entitled WASP roughing it at the country-club and whose startup isn't working whining about how terribly unfair life - but FUCK THE NORMIES!

You have to learn when to fold them, my dude. Better to say here ran a coward than here died the brave.
Stoicism is great, and is one of the things I am very passionate about. OP do you know any good communities online that focus on talking about stoicism?
Ahh I guess you don't live in an area with RAIN and WINTER where anything not bolted down to the roof generally gets blown right off.

The costs are significant if there isn't a prebuilt common area (rooftop patio). Because of safety, accessibility and liability concerns. Sure it's a big flat space, and it may be accessible in case of emergency, but it wasn't designed for regular use. These surfaces are designed for HVAC, roofing material and drainage of rainwater.

You want a safe drop location for drones that's also resident accessible and safe?

You're going to have to retrofit the roof to meet spec. Even if you already have a rooftop patio. And that means condo board and / or property management approval.
By that you mean "The right to vote". Here in the US I haven't ever heard of the word used in that context so I thought other's would find it useful to know what you meant.

I think the bay area hacker version of a hippie commune is a co-op loft that hosts parties on the weekends to cover some expenses. Or some version there of. The ones I knew of still charged rent but it was easy enough to work out a way to do work for rent or a sliding scale.

Not nearly as communal as what you're imagining, but way more communal than 99% of living situations.
Yes, I also thought of that as well. :) I didn't feel like exploring how that interrelates to other classes like the disabled in complex ways though[1], so omitted it.

Edit: s/included that as well/thought of that as well/

1: Do the disabled benefit from this association and the voting power of the elderly, and if so how much of our cultural wish to help the disabled is rationalization after the fact?
Yes please, I work for a big bank and we use VS for C# and F# and Rstudio and Notepad++ and RGui for R. Having one-ide-to-rule-them-all + supported by Microsoft would be a godsend for us.
Right, this is what I was thinking of when I said it; I was just being vague because I didn't remember the name of it :)
The uber announcement notes that "Partner Drivers will receive fares based on time and distance, the same as they normally do." So it appears they aren't taking the hit. Lyft doesn't comment on it...
If the secret to immortality is baby blood, that's one of those hilariously cliche coincidences that makes me think we're living in a poorly written universe.
I'm working in smart contracts; completing the "Manfred Macx user story" is one of my core objectives. :)
...and the price skyrockets.

Maybe. But maybe instead:

Routing and capital intensity (lack of car idle-times) continues to improve. Shared-rides in larger-vehicles (vans) grow in proportion and convenience. Cities expand pick-up/drop-off zones for car services. Attempts at monopoly price hikes spur freelance/coop/upstart competitors along the most profitable corridors, able to snipe Uber rides via overlay apps/services. So costs and prices stay low long enough until...

Driverless vehicles become the major mode of urban short-trip car travel. Driver costs are eliminated, insurance costs reduced, and capacity/intensity further improved – with high-capacity vehicles that tirelessly reposition without breaks/distractions. Automated rides stay nearly as cheap as 'mass' transit on dedicated rails, indefinitely.
> This central planning maximizes the efficiency of the network.

On one hand I see unused bandwidth*time, on the other I see applications that want to use more bandwidth and can't because of the obscene monetary cost. So no, the central planning clearly does not maximize efficiency.

It does maximize the efficiency with which the telecom oligopoly removes the money from our wallets, though. I'll grant it that.
Would it be possible for you to do a writeup on what you found that might be transferrable?
All the time. Constantly. Often enough that when I was using a Scheme that compiles to the JVM, I wound up in extended conversations with the compiler's author about how to add such features to his compiler. It was possible to do, and he was interested in doing it, but it was really too much work to be practical.

The context matters, though. I've been working with Lisp systems (and occasionally with Smalltalk systems) for over thirty years, and the way I normally work is to start with some simple sketch of a model and some simple interactions with it, and build it up gradually, interactively. While my program runs, of course.

That means making a lot of incremental changes to the model as I go, which, in a class-based system, means a lot of changes to classes. And since I prefer to modify my work while it runs, that means a lot cases of the environment saying, "hey, this definition changed; what do you want to do about it?"

If you typically work in an environment that doesn't support those kinds of incremental changes to a running system, then of course you're going to learn a way of working where such situations don't come up, because they can't.
And, in addition to those JAWS tools, there is also JAWS Inspect (https://www.paciellogroup.com/products/jaws-inspect/)
> As of now, I have to tell people "Use Matrix, but you need this app called Element to get on to it". It's confusing for a lot of people.

It is but I've found the email analogy helpful: prefixing your explanation with "it's like email" tends to open even non-technical people's mind to the idea of multiple clients + a unified protocol.
That’s the problem.
The “protestors” just stole a bunch of those papers.
As far as I know, the Matrix protocol shouldn't be limiting when it comes to one-to-one chats.

There are already Matrix mobile clients focusing on this use case, aiming at being a WhatsApp replacement. Examples are: Ditto Chat[1], Nio[2], and FluffyChat[3].

Before trying to solve the network-effect issue (i.e. all people using WhatsApp), we should make one of the mentioned clients at least as good as WhatsApp, or else users won't switch.

And tell them what? Please all go install a different app? That only works if you can get everybody on board, it's unacceptable if a parent gets left out because he isn't there that day or cannot get it to work.

You would also have to explain to them that Facebook cannot read your messages, but they can see the meta data. And then you have to explain to them what meta data is.

I think your kid is not going to appreciate your efforts.
DC v Heller strongly limited the ability of the district to regulate gun ownership. It doesn't apply to states, which means it almost certainly doesn't apply to your city.
Fair enough, he might also be a troll or a teenager - or, god forbid, both. I accept your rebuke, I was being unfair.
Nice idea, I like that "part of the money from sponsorship goes to donation".

But, the ads can be done better, maybe try to position them at the bottom of the screen, now they are right below the description for the word (where the descriptions vary in length).

Also be sure to have an app icon in a higher resolution. This one doesn't look good on 1080p screens.
Isn't unloading train cars also a similar time constraint?
No, because the core patents behind the features you're asking about are very much in Oracle's possession, as those class library improvements were overwhelmingly written by Sun/Oracle engineers. Those other actors you're talking about absolutely contribute, but not in as nearly a fundamental to the implementation of the library and runtime definitions kind of way.
Not being resilient doesn't mean not having to experience trauma though. If you're saying you'd be happy to not be resilient if it meant not experiencing trauma then I can see your point.

Not sure how email is an answer. It sound like the rule is "don't do/say it at all, if you didn't want it to be public."

Thinking before I speak and having consideration for how my words might be interpreted in the future is "toxic"? Words you say to others have consequences. It makes sense to take that into consideration.

That seems pragmatic and polite to me.
Looking purely at webapps, Liveview is the killer feature of Phoenix.

Other than that, I would say that any place with a complex service oriented environment where you could leverage the Erlang VM would be an obvious place to use Phoenix for doing your webapps.
I'd be curious to know more details about the proposals. It seems hard to look at corporate taxes in isolation from other things corporations do and the other taxes that people pay. Some countries choose to provide fewer government services, or are able to provide government services for less money. It seems only fair that these countries would have lower corporate tax rates. Corporate tax rates also seem like they would be affected by what the capital gains tax is: the government can get money out of a group of people by either taxing the company they own or by taxing the capital gains they realize when their company does well. It also does matter what kind of other taxes a company will need to pay (payroll taxes), or what other taxes citizens pay (whether or not they pay VAT).

It's hard to imagine a global minimum corporate tax rate not being exploited by special interests. Just because companies avoid taxes today by switching countries, won't mean that they won't find other loop holes tomorrow. It's easy to imagine countries saying "sure, our nominal corporate tax rate is 21%, but <special protected industry X> has to have a different rate because of <cultural and historical specific reasons to that country>.
Wouldn't that go both ways and encourage more activism?

I wouldn't mind being an activist employee if I know that not only do I stand up for what I believe in, but there's a reasonable chance it will result in enough compensation for an early retirement. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I wouldn't do it without caution and it does require funds on my end, but I'd still do it. That said, Amazon will likely engage in prolonged litigation, to minimize the benefits.
No, I think pje is saying that existing tools are just fine & new tools are unlikely to improve things on the margin.
From an enterprise standpoint the wifi on 10.10 is basically a DDos attack. I know they are trying to put in a feature to send files between devices but it doesn't work on a college campus at all, which should be an environment they are testing in.
Probably not HN worthy but isn't it depressing to see things that are highly unlikely to ever improve?
Wow. Seriously, I wish Ikea would sell these in stores!! I'd buy two.
As a one-volume introductory book, I ’d suggest any of the last few editions of Groover’s Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Materials, Processes, and Systems. The coverage is fairly broad, not just metalworking, and it’s written for advanced undergraduates—rigorous enough to be useful, but still accessible to non-specialists, with many figures and tables.
I'm trying to say if you want a git alternative that's not dying and isn't infuriating, check out mercurial.
Why? "Turtles" is a bad hypothesis because it's so arbitrary. It is no more likely than "ducks all the way down", etc. The fact that it's not testable is the least of it's problems.

Whereas a multiverse is a much higher prior probability. In fact believing we are the only universe is just as untestable a hypothesis, and even more silly.
This advice is I am sure meant well. But it is old for people who have done it and are no better. I have a very ugly face. I do not say this from pity, it is this way since I was a child. I am very fit, I dress and groom well, I am sociable and an excellent conversationalist, and I have been told these things by other people. I mention this in a comment above, but I have never been hit on by a woman, not once. The times I try to approach them it is almost never successful. The few times it worked I approached women who I did not find very attractive. I do not blame them, some things are handsome and some ugly. But it is not just "get in shape, dress better, learn to be funny and outgoing."
Looks neat - would also suggest checking out https://typora.io as well, which renders WYSIWYG in the editor and does a great job with syntax highlighting. I use it for taking notes locally.
By any chance is there a non Amazon hard copy store you distribute through as well?
No, of course you have to take into account known factors, like sometimes it rains. And if it is difficult to add a new type of release schedule, it is not poor planning, it is a poorly designed system. When we don't know how requirements are going to change, we must not guess, we should instead design the systems so they are easy to change.
I had no idea this was a thing, is there any justification at all for this behavior? Sounds like a massive dealbreaker to me.
Does it? It's not like you're paying GitHub per open issue.

I've literally had issues I filed that the maintainer verified as an actual bug be closed due to lack of activity. I can understand that an unpaid maintainer doesn't have the time or motivation to fix it, but closing issues you know are valid seems insane to me.
The price would have soared even higher, but there was a unusual long trade halt until after hours began.

It's not really possible anonymise health data. If you know someone's DoB, Sex and ZipCode you can identify something like 87% of Americans from publicly available sources [0].

This is why sharing even redacted datasets isn't generally done.

Edited to correct the star (89->87, also Americans not Brits, I thought it was Brits)
Interesting and useful post. That being said, I think it ignores some valid solutions. For example, REAPER and some others offer the option to bridge specific plugins. This is often sufficient, since users generally just want to play with some specific cool-sounding but crashy plugins.

Then there's also the more technically difficult option of running the entire audio engine (including plugins) in one separate resilient process: if it crashes, it can be relaunched and its state restored by the main process. I believe Bitwig can do this. Cool but I wouldn't want to be the one implementing it!
Would love to see some examples in the readme!

The problem isn’t that precious college graduates have to get their hands dirty. Rather, the issue is that people who paid for a college education aren’t getting the expected return on that investment – and might never get it.

This sounds a lot like the underwater mortgage issue. Maybe people are overpaying for college because of easy government-backed credit?
I suggest dstat over vmstat, it has color coded output and abbreviates units automatically. It's easy to add columns or monitor specific devices or interfaces.

http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/dstat/

I suggest OpenNMS as a cacti and nagios alternative. It eliminates most of the manual configuration. It can automatically detect nodes and services and if you give it SNMP information it can monitor specifics of each machine. I've used it to monitor hundreds of machines but it can be resource intensive.

iftop is also a nice lightweight alternative to iptraf and helps track down bandwidth heavy processes and connections.

I'm not sure how the API compares to FFTW, but if you're on Nvidia hardware the toolkit comes with the CUFFT library http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda_3_2_toolkit_rc.html which is tuned for their hardware.

I seem to recall needing to transfer the data to GPU memory and other things like that when I last used it, but that was prior to toolkit 2.0 IIRC.

The theory of the brain presented in your third and fourth paragraph interests me. Can you recommend a book, wikipedia article, or white paper on the subject?
How about using this idea to hire people long term for your company, as a supplement to the interview? Filter through resumes, send promising ones a one day scope problem, with a one day deadline and one day's pay. Allow one or two "call tickets" where they can contact you for feedback.
> but at the same time considering the 100% effort from everyone to be (nearly) as valuable

Why should we do something so wrong?

Consider Derek Jeter and me. No matter how much effort I put in as a baseball player, I'm not going to approach him on his worst day. And that's true even if I was 10 years younger than he is.

Some people are better than others at some things. Their effort is more productive. Ignoring that is dumb.

And then there's the problem that not all things are equally valuable, so even if two things take an equal amount of effort, that doesn't tell us that they're equally valuable.
Just to make sure I am not overlooking something, the editor comes only as source code in a project that has multiple dependencies that are neither included in the available downloads nor listed in the documentation. A binary seems to not be available in any obvious location. Please correct me if I am mistaken about this: downloading the package and compiling reveals many missing files and leads to 1303 compile errors on the very latest versions of OS X and XCode.
Yes, it is very true that many fail to realize that they are getting scraped simply because there aren't many tools which show the traffic classified among humans and bots. This surely is a problem. Thanks for leaving a comment!
