I think what they are referring to is the presentation of the photos (for lack of a better way to put it). Best way to describe it is that it's similar to the copyright that a company (back in the day) that created what is known as a reverse phone directory. That's where you could find someone's phone number by address (or address by phone number). The point being that even though all the info is public (anyone can input same info from a free phone directory) the act of organizing it and displaying it in a certain way (reversed by address as only one example) gives you copyright over the presentation of the material. So you can't grab that wholesale.

Another example that I can think of is dnjournal.com which publishes a list of domain sales which they gather primarily (but not exclusively) from easily available info from other sources (like sedo.com). So you are free to do the same from the same sources. However you can't take the list they created, that is lift it from their site, and publish it without violating their copyright.

There may of course be some other principle involved obviously but off the top the above seems possible.

Edit: Appears what I am referring to is possibly a version of "derivative" work:

I think this also goes under "the golden rule" meaning he who has the gold rules. The film was undeveloped so someone could argue that that act was instrumental in making the pictures able to be seen (seems like a scotus grade discussion). The original owner took the pictures but he never created the image which people see. The image was created by the person who now claims copyright. Without the developing there are no images. May not win but perhaps most importantly a leg to stand on.
>> Effective currencies have several mechanisms designed to protect their value and minimize volatility

Yes, government manipulation. I think many of the btc enthusiasts miss the point. You can't have a huge important currency without guarantees. Goverments have armies and taxes and so provide these guarantees. No world government/control of btc = no btc becoming the "global currency".
I think he meant re-do the bindings. A lot of Julia is written in itself, but not things like that. Large libraries benefit from Julia's extremely simple C calling mechanisms.
The article to me seems much like the one I read back in 2012, when people were predicting Google's gradual downfall. It's important to note that Google will lose people and so will other companies. Talent will migrate out and come in. The article seemed too biased to me. Google's search share might be shrinking, but they have too many strong businesses.

In short, there's nothing new in the article, the same has been said before about Google and many other firms.
Ah that is good to hear as I have seen in the past a number of things which use USB connectors, (for the same reasons you mention) but don't follow the spec at all. Which causes all kinds of fun problems.

Keep up the great work.
Cool narrative :)
lisper messes around with Haskell and feels he understands the entire Haskell community well enough to smear it. After admitting to not understanding Haskell that well he now writes a second post doing the same thing.

Most haskellers that are serious about using it to create real world software don't seem to care a great deal about the mathematical side except for the occasions it is useful in their program.

Haskell is about writing safe, efficient, and high level functional code. The fact that some users can tinker with the mathematical side (correctly or incorrectly) is just a bonus.
Correct. I've been a member for going on a year now and I have scores of invites I don't appear to be able to send because I won't share my contacts. Not that I care enough to invite people, but it's a dark pattern to even require it.

I have heard there's a way to share invites without sharing contacts, but I haven't cared enough to even do a cursory search on that.
Radiators are an alternative to, not a part of, a forced air gas furnace.

Gas furnace burns gas, blows around hot air.

Radiator heats water, and pushes that water around to heat rooms via radiators.

Now we're busy celebrating Chinese New Year and the victory of the fight over COVID-19, who care about US concerns :)
Ah but most secretly have Powershell which is super powerful.
The Charles Murray thing seems to be about his use of the word "sophisticated"... that was probably a bad choice.

To dive deeper look at the criticisms of Murray and draw your on conclusion about the degree of sophistication of his assumptions.

Wow, they're really assassinating his character here. They're taking a metaphorical interpretation of a painting that he made out of context, and spinning it so it seems like he's a religious nutcase. This is the paper in question, it's nothing like they're making it out to be: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7087640/
“The story is told of G. H. Hardy (and of other people) that during a lecture he said ‘It is obvious… Is it obvious?’ left the room, and returned fifteen minutes later, saying ‘Yes, it's obvious.’ I was present once when Rogosinski asked Hardy whether the story were true. Hardy would admit only that he might have said ‘It is obvious… Is it obvious?’ (brief pause) ‘Yes, it's obvious.’”
Pull request pending forever. Ugh. The project is great, but the culture is terrible.
After quitting caffeine I can now fall asleep fairly quickly everynight. For 20% it could be negative.
The ongoing trade war with the US provided at least some reason to cover it up, they weren't yet sure how bad it was and it would give the US additional leverage in negotiations. The government certainly started being more open about the virus after a deal was signed on January 15th.

Obviously I wish they hadn't done this, but they didn't arbitrarily try to hide it.
> Can you backup they aren't "truth" or they don't offer a peek into a reality that maybe taboo?

Your local university can do it if you really care. A ton of material has been written about Murray's work. Taboo? Humanity has been using science to break the backs of minorities for centuries. People aren't hiding the corner quivering and afraid to touch Murray's work.
More like sophisticated human augmentations...
OK. I didn't realize you were being nuanced about the definition of "accounting games" and its connotations. I agree that these tactics are straight forward.
I go check wsj.com site and the ad on top is one from HUAWEI.
Personally, I got an Asus router as well so this does not affect me. However, I can understand this from an average customer's point of view. It would be nice for the ISP to give a router that is good enough for the speed that they advertise. The router should not be the bottleneck.
There were lots of them a decade ago when it seemed possible that it might be an interesting and useful technology.
Now the Reddit website is down. Is this related?
I watched bitcoin. I remember people spending 50BTC for pizzas, or whatever. I mined a couple dozen and threw that laptop away. I don't feel like I missed out.

I invest because I want value. I want to own a part of something that generates value to the world. I invest to meet my goals (which I've already done without BTC). I invest to sleep well knowing that my money is making me money. BTC offers none of this. I challenge you to name any value BTC provides beyond moving money from one jurisdiction to another. (Which is still value, but not one I need, nor feel the need to speculate in.)

Am I bitter others got rich? Nope. Do I wish I was richer? Not really, I'm doing fine, I don't spend what I have anyway. Do I worry about BTC mania infecting others and possibly causing harm where it's not needed? Yes.

That is why BTC is a bad idea. It's pure speculation. There is no value beyond what someone else will pay you for it.
Blindingly obvious to everyone (except to today's 100 million users).
How do you blame Thiel for bureaucratic bloat in the US government? NASA, the canonical example of a formerly productive organization becoming hopelessly turgid, was dysfunctional by the time he was a teenager.
And we saw how a blind obedience to those principles prolonged the Great Depression[1]. FDR's economic reforms, including getting the world economy off the Gold Standard, propelled the recovery and allowed the US to meet the needs of the war effort.

I’m interested to try this as my day job involves editing 2-3 webinars and 2-5 Zoom interviews per week.

Currently I use Premiere Pro with some templates I’ve created.

I haven’t found any of the transcript based editing tools to be robust enough. Descript is buggy and slow on my MacBook Pro (which has zero issues running Prem Pro & After Effects). Transcriptive has issues where it gets out of sync with the original.

What would be really helpful is detecting speaker changes, long pauses, the start and end of slide presentations (or switching to different decks), and transcription if it actually works smoothly and stays in sync across edits.
Bitcoin has two incredible properties. Most critics downplay the first, and never even mention the second.

One is that amounts, tiny or astronomical can be safely transferred and settled without trusted 3rd parties, in a matter of minutes. I think people know this.

The other property is that it is completely impossible to counterfeit it. There is no possible way to fake bitcoin. You can try claiming you own bitcoin that doesn't exist, but if someone wants proof, there is no way for you to fake it. There is no way to counterfeit it with clever artistic skill, specialized machinery, nothing that can do this. This also means that if you own bitcoin (meaning you control the keys), you really own it. You don't own some promise of future bitcoin payment, an entry in a volatile database at your bank or brokerage, an IOU, or some faked certificate. You own real, trivially verifiable, bitcoin. Also, no trusted 3rd party is needed to ensure this.

That is the value of bitcoin.

It's not blurry at all. The police get to decide what is criminal and what isn't... so they're always the good guys.
In your shoes I would use your success as social proof to sell info products about replicating your success.

However, if you really want to monetize...
You need to think long and hard about exactly WHY these people are following you. You need to understand what they are getting out of the relationship and than you need to think of products and companies that are native to that experience.

For example with fashion, you can simply put a link to an e-commerce site in your profile and drive hundreds of not thousands a day in sales (there is case study out there of someone selling thousands of dollars worth of ties on instagram but I can't find it from my phone)

If people are following you because they like your content...you can try to charge them a buck or two to get exclusive access to more of your content.

Just remember, social media is not meant for advertising and unless you can find a native monetization you will not be capturing most of the value you can.

Feel free to email me if you want to brainstorm this with me. Check my profile for contact info.
And not just law abiding speech being deplatformed, but what will AI do with new speech it has never seen before? Will it understand its context, its references, its sarcasm, its wink, its intention? It's another way to trap us into only having conversations that have already been pre-approved by the past.
Someone is still responsible for those bots.
Definitely a little cynical =]. I think the same thing about a lot of 3rd party security consulting.

OpenVAS is free, but the big issue we've had with it is the complexity of setting it up and maintaining it. We are a security team, and would rather not spend our time managing servers, especially since we aren't the best people to do that at Cloudflare.
So what I am reading is that you don’t understand the distinction between satirizing bigots and actually being a bigot?
Or was it Grandmaster Flash? I wish I could find the TV documentary I remember this from.

Only other source I can think of is NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1080761/

(Both of these are well worth watching. NY77 describes the amazing cultural events in NYC, 1997.)
Your decision to turn a willful blind eye to this is part of the problem. If you know nothing about how the government works, perhaps you should listen to the law professors linked above.

In an indirect way, you are also helping contribute to Manning's continuing detainment and torture. Sleep with that.
that's what i said to my flu virus!
I love my Ergohuman ME7ERG Mesh chair, which I got on sale a few years ago for a little over $500. The fact that it has a headrest is a big plus, even though it makes my office look a bit like a spaceship cockpit, but I suppose that's a good thing.
I realize this will sound like a flippant answer, but I mean it seriously: the chance is either very high or very low, depending on how good your application is.

It took me a long time to realize that when the odds of getting into something were described as e.g. 1 in 10, that didn't mean the odds for any given applicant were 10%, but rather (to the extent the people deciding were good judges) that for 10% of applicants the chance was nearly 100%, and for the other 90% nearly zero.
Some people are morning people, others aren't, despite best intentions. You could reschedule the meetings and see if he can make it at a different time. If he still doesn't, it will mean he's either not committed to the business, or not disciplined enough, so you will have to split.
I really like it when people reply "usually this doesn't matter" to a discussion in a project where it _does_ matter.
What Florian seems to be insinuating is that Android application developers would be somehow at risk in some way from this ruling due to them having written programs that "use the teachings of the infringed patent claims in one way or another". What is that even supposed to mean?

If I write code to target a platform whose implementation infringes a patent somewhere deep 'beneath the hood' I am not liable to pay any damages for that, I did not ship infringing code and my code is agnostic to whether the platform infringes or not.

I cannot see the need (besides FUD) for Florian to have written that. He mixes cherry picked facts and analysis with wild speculation (commonly involving Android's 'bleak future') and hopes that people won't see the difference.

Edit:
As another example, see how he conveniently forgot to mention the factor of the finding coming from an East Texas court when he extrapolates from this verdict to all Android related patent suits.
Was my library about 50 times faster? Sure, I could parse 1,500+ XML-RPC requests/second. Did anybody actually benfit from this speed? Probably not.

Then your (client's) problem wasn't reference counting but premature optimization.

Are there situations where you'd like to have code run fifty times faster than native Python. You bet there are, lots and lots of them - for example, in a Unix-clone Kernel. Sorry if somehow you didn't find one of them.

Hopefully you used Valgrind and Formal language specification to reduce the work required.

And to avoid premature optimization, use gprof to find the bottleneck(s) rather than just diving into what seems to need optimization.
I'm not a native English speaker, but shouldn't the phrase be "library on fire" instead of "museum on fire"? The analogy comes from the ancient Library of Alexandria, which was set on fire by Caesar.
The obvious question: do you have a computer program set to alert you if "natala" appears on a tech site in a mturk context, or a mechanical turk task set with a 10 cent payment to email you whenever you're mentioned?
Yep.

You are looking at a product from it's technical merits only.

From a product perspective, I can travel to any country in the world and read the signs on the shop, read menus, or even learn the language since I have an always available translator to help.

It makes the world smaller and more accessible. Those things always change the world
The Dell Streak is actually a QSD 8650, while the Nexus One runs the QSD 8250. Both phones run on the Qualcomm dual-core architecture: arm9/arm11, with one processor dedicated to linux "apps" and one dedicated to the "amss", aka modem software stack.

I have both devices sitting on my desk here, so I ran a comparison. As I suspected, they are close. Also note that the Dell Streak's resolution is much higher and I'm not sure how/if the benchmark takes that into account:

Linpack (higher is better):
Nexus One: 32.94 MFLOPS
Streak 2.2: 33.373 MFLOPS

CaffeineMark (higher is better):
Nexus One: 5587 (rank 124)
Streak 2.2: 5738 (rank 109)

An3dbench (no idea how scores stack up):
Nexus One: 4746, Fill rate = 10MP/s, Game level FPS = 24.87
Streak 2.2: 4495, Fill rate = 17.65 MP/s, Game level FPS = 32.26
These results are reflective of the strengths & weaknesses of the Samsung system versus the Snapdrapgon, with the Snapdragon having a better FPU & thus winning by far on Linpack. The previous-generation Snapdragon SoC in the Streak (8250) also has a weaker GPU so the Samsung beats it in graphics regardless of OS.

But Froyo on a Snapdragon is very old news indeed. The Gingerbread source will be out any minute now.
Any webkit based works perfectly. Opera and Firefox 4 beta works too
That misses the mark.. prisons are expensive. We'd be better off paying people $8/hr to make that stuff and not paying to house and guard them.

The real reason is because you immediately lose a political argument if you're accused of being soft on crime. So there's absolutely no reasoned debate on the topic, the only time it comes up is when every so often a pol comes up with some dumbass punitive and counter-productive measure to get a headline. Additionally, most prisoners are black, and everyone knows this, while 80% of voters in most districts are white.

So basically, the way we're acting is both short-term stupid (could just pay day laborers and save money) and long-term stupid (creating lifetime criminals by destroying other options for them).
That may be the case, but I've also noticed that too many Apple users have been less critical than they used to be and easily go on the attack of even the smallest constructive criticism of the company's products.

Maybe it's time for Mac users to get much more vocal and critical with Apple and quit apologizing for their mistakes to others?

I remember back in the day when there were Mac user uproars over the tiniest Mac OS flaws and I took pride that I was a part of a group of consumers that asked.. no, --demanded-- high quality products from Apple. Steve Jobs really seemed to take pride in that as well, in my opinion.

I hope threads like these are a sign that Apple consumers are ready to get back to our old-school roots of being demanding users that expect the best hardware and software for our money.

Consumer complacency breeds corporate complacency. I'm not critical of Mac products because I hate them. I'm critical of Mac products because I utilize them and need them for business. Otherwise, I frankly wouldn't give a shit.
Nice collection, but please don't watermark wallpapers. Also would be nice to see the exact source of these images and the license.
Except the offline mode in Steam is very finicky about when it works and when it doesn't, even IF you go through all the hoops and backdoors.

Otherwise, I've got nothing but good things to say about Steam (despite the fact that I still hold a special place in my heart where I HATE Steam for replacing WON)

Don't be. The Lisp family of languages is not as scary or difficult as some people make out of it. I personally found it less mind bending than Haskell (which is a different beast altogether).

I'd suggest you to give Scheme a try, its more minimal than Common Lisp and IMHO simpler to start off with. All you have to keep in mind is that syntax in Scheme is both uniform and minimal. What you also need to remember is that Scheme is probably unlike any other language you have encountered (The Algol family), so you must not try to program in Scheme the way you do in say C or Pascal.
Check out the book 'Emergence: The connected lives of ants, brains, cities, and software' (Steven Johnson) for more awesome discussion of ant behavior, among other things.

Some highlights:

* Ants will sacrifice themselves as 'living bridges' to help most of their comrades pass an obstacle.

* Individual workers choose their role by keeping a running tally of what the other workers they walk past are doing.

* Any single ant follows a pretty limited instruction set, but the colony--taken as a whole--exhibits traits comparable to the intelligence of a small mammal.

* Ants in a habitat manage to stack the corpses of dead ants as far as possible from the queen, the nursery, any food sources, and paths between them. So in any ant habitat, you wind up with a row of dead ants arranged neatly in some corner.

There's more, both ant-related and not, but the general point I'm trying to get at is that the book is amazing.
