I originally made this comment on a child post that was deleted while I was writing it, so I've decided to post on the parent.

Copyright law is so complicated. I'm not a lawyer, but here is what I understand, I welcome corrections and input.

In general, copyright rights are additive. For example,

* Alice can write a piece of sheet music, on which she owns the copyright

* Bob can then perform that sheet music. He owns the copyright on the performance. However, he can't publicly perform the piece without getting permission from Alice.

* Charlie can then make a recording of Bob's performance. He owns the copyright on that recording. However, he can't sell that copy without permission from both Alice (for the sheet music) and Bob (for the performance).

(I should add here that for music, this process has been greatly simplified in most cases by ASCAP, which dictates compulsory license fees for public performance and musical scores for pop music.)

In this case, it's further complicated, because I don't believe that the simple act of pressing "REC" on a VCR counts as creative input, and therefore probably doesn't generate a distinct copyright for this tape. Usually, when people talk about copyright for recordings, they are referring to the case where a sound engineer has captured the live sound, mixed it, and mastered it, to create a distinct new work of art.

Worth noting that if you listen to the business press, Apple's long-term survival is at stake. (Current liquid assets >$200B.)

I guess you don't know what a "write off" and "taxes" are.
I'm not sure I understand. It's not like the Fed would just buy the loans and retire them. People would still be on the hook to pay them off. All that does is let the banks get theirs now instead of having to write a good loan and wait for it.
These photos remind me of William Gibson's observations on tactical fashion -- if you are really a militant, then the last thing you'd want to do is look all tactical and stuff. The Army surplus look, radios with whip antennae, etc., is fun. But in any scenario where militia were up against organized force, I would think they should try to blend into the population. But I guess it's hard to keep morale up if you just go to meetings where you practice blending into population. Like, an organized concealed carry sit-in at Starbucks where you don't tell anyone you're carrying and try not to be noticed? Or, have radio conversations where you discuss nothing of substance and avoid transmitting any coded messages?
I agree that the main strength of AlphaGo seems to be evaluation, using supervised learning + reinforcement learning.

What I found interesting about AlphaGo's final algorithm is that there are so many different methods being used at once:

0. there's the monte carlo tree search. while this is definitely a "classic" tree search, this particular tree search algorithm is a fairly recent development, and relies heavily on statistics, which is perhaps somewhat less classical

1. the policy function approximation they use in the final algorithm, aka the policy network, is based on supervised learning + deep network model. but it is NOT the other policy network in the paper that was further tuned used reinforcement learning - that one made the overall system perform worse!

2. the value function approximation they use in the final algorithm isn't just a network. it's a linear combination of a network and a rollout approximation using a much weaker, faster, simpler evaluation function trained on different features. they find the system performs best when each is given an equal weight.

3. from what i understand, the value network is trained (at huge computational cost, particularly in generating the data set required) to give similar accuracy to the value function one could define by using the reinforcement-learning policy network. the value network gives similar valuations but runs 1500x faster. in some sense this isn't terribly algorithmically interesting - it is just an implementation detail to give faster results at game-time at the cost of a ridiculous amount of offline computation.
If you stop the current from flowing, you don't have to shunt any power anywhere.

Because it is all fake. EU govs give the US what they want and all this is for show. EU has outsourced defense and intelligence, they just have to keep that fact from the populous.
I have an extremely addictive personality, no matter what, if I like something I have to be really careful not to get sucked in. My way of dealing with those things is to ruthlessly cut them out of my life, if I have to spend the energy required to fight the addiction then I might as well give in, the end result is a net reduction in energy available for useful stuff.

So, I did what you did when I realized that computer games had this power over me, and got rid of them completely (early 20's at the time). Since then I got sucked in exactly once, the game of Mahjongg, and as soon as I recognized that I was being sucked in I deleted that as well. (this happened when I was 28 or so.)

It's super annoying that I can't seem to set myself limits on what is ok and what is not, but in the end I come out ahead because I then have to be utterly ruthless about it which saves even more time (and in the case of alcohol and other goodies it saves me my health and money too).

When I got sucked into computer games the world of games was a lot friendlier than it is today. I worked for a game company for a while, and in the end realized that that world really wasn't for me (though I enjoyed the programming immensely, the only addiction that I've allowed to run completely without restraint). Computer games nowadays are more like crack cocaine compared to the ones that were available when I was a kid.

Congratulations on your recognition, it's going to be an interesting time for you now that you have a really large chunk of extra life that you can allocate in whatever way that you see fit.
My apartment mate (currently a PhD student in Chemistry) noted that the research is cool, but article this is based on in Nature Communications is pay to publish, so err on the side of skepticism.

A quick Google search found this:

Edit: other users seem to note that the journal is very reputable. I do not know myself, was reporting my apartment mate's reaction since he is much more knowledgeable in the area. It is clear from conversation I mis-understood his response. Apologies.
He is brave to do his testing on such a nice computer.
I hope he somehow gets this covered.

I looked it up prior to my post, and at least the T450 has an accelerometer that's separate from the disk. agumonkey pointed out that noone has reversed the Windows driver yet, though, so no Linux support (and certainly no GRUB2 support :>)

If he uploaded a copy to youtube as part of a historical article or other non-commercial use, then the fair use analysis would likely go his way. Particularly for something of such cultural and historical relevance.

It's worth noting that the Nexus 5x doesn't do USB 3.1, so even if you get a fancy Super Speed cable like this one, you are still suck with slow charging from your computer's USB A port.
It would ease debt servicing for existing student debt holders, creating consumer excess (just as lowering rates for mortgages creates a wave of refis, which puts more disposable income in America's consumer pockets).

The key would be for the Fed to restrict its activities to existing student debt, to prevent pushing down rates on new originations.
Certain people will have a lot of enemies (right or wrong), most people may have one or two. I might be concerned if I had none.

This seems remarkably similar to the Jupyter (IPython) notebook format [0]. The only big difference I can see is the separate metadata file, which I'm not so sure is a plus (since it adds the complexity of needing each notebook to be a folder).

There is another way of saying the same thing. A lot of seemingly groundbreaking progress in AI usually happens when people (people, not machines) discover a clever way of mapping a new unsolved problem to another - well-solved - problem. That's a valid and insightful observation that you shouldn't dismiss with such an ease.
> If we want to see that world happening, we must first ensure that the people building software can earn a decent living, because frankly, we deserve it. I mean, first come up with business models that work.

I very much disagree with this sentiment and I think it is very sad to see how pervasive this idea is that earning a living is first.

There will be good software even if people making software are not paid for it, just like there will be good music even if it is unlikely that good musicians are ever be able to "earn a decent living".

Maybe rather than trying to find new ways of making a living we should try finding new ways of living instead, ways that don't perpetuate exploitation under the pretense of a job "market".

> most open-source software has been development for profit or for fun, having nothing to do with ideals.

This shows the difference between "open source" and free software. That's why I call it "free software" and avoid the term "open source". This doesn't mean, however, that free software advocates do not have fun writing software ;)
>I am assuming that we hold M2 velocity of money constant for the purpose of this analysis

Poor people have to spend money on essentials as soon as it comes in. Rich people don't. That's pretty much the simplest possible definition of being poor. So that is not a valid assumption.

>If this assumption is true, both will create the same total 'demand', but for different goods.

This can't possibly be true either. Rich people spend money on essentials and on luxury goods and on investments and keep some spare cash on hand, because why not?

Poor people spend money on essentials, and perhaps a little distraction and entertainment.

Why would the total demand from both somehow be the same?

> The primary (economic) difference between these goods is their impact on long-term productivity.

Which is the crux of the problem - speculative casino "investment", which is based on gaming markets, isn't economically productive. Neither is an economy that leans heavily on usury.

Productive investment in R&D, small business development, and wage growth stimulates economic capacity and increases confidence.

Speculative investment - including speculative gambling, systems of forced debt like student loans and payday lending, and asset inflation which drives up rents and property prices - destroys demand and economic capacity.

The fact that we're even discussing negative interest rates while in the middle of severe commodity deflation proves the core problem hasn't been addressed.
He's a Google employee, presumably using corporate hardware to advance the USB C ecosystem that the Pixel line is shepherding. I'd be shocked if Google didn't let him replace it.
That's why it's also different from him buying a tape of the game from the NFL, and then re-selling it.

When you buy a tape, CD, book, etc., you have the right to re-sell it. As-is, without making a copy.

If his father had been at the game, and recorded it himself on his own video camera, he would be able to sell that tape. No one else could broadcast it, as that involves making another copy.

I'm tempted to think that the volatility of oil prices may actually push people towards renewables.

They doubled in the years leading to 2008, and since then have plunged three-quarters.

If Saudi Arabia's bet pays off, and they manage to choke all the alternative suppliers of oil, perhaps the price will bounce all the way back up in another 8 years?

Or perhaps they won't. But then if they don't, maybe Saudi Arabia collapses or has to be propped up with US money.

Who wants to bet their energy supply on that?
> Luckily as a ham, I believe I can at least operate my Part 90 radio on Part 97 bands.

I believe that is correct (also a ham).

For curious non-hams, here is how it works. In the US, generally there are three ways radio bands are licensed.

1. No license is required for the operator to use the band, but the equipment used must be certified for operation in that band.

2. The operator has to have a license to use the band and the equipment must be certified for operation in that band.

3. The operator has to have a license to use the band, but can use any equipment as long as what is actually transmitted meets the legal technical requirements for operation on that band (power levels, modulation types, and so on).

An example of the first method is the Family Radio Service (FRS) bands.

An example of the second method is the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS). When I say that the operator has to have a license, that does not necessarily mean that the person actually operating the radio has to have a license. With GMRS, for instance, a business can get a license and that covers employee use without the individual employees needing to get licenses.

Ham radio falls under the third method, and offhand I can't think of anything else that does. When a licensed ham is operating a radio all the FCC cares about is what comes out of the antenna, not what equipment produced it.

The way hams get licensed is also quite different. The FCC takes a very hands off approach to ham licensing.

To get a ham license, you have to pass an exam. For the entry level license, that is a 35 question multiple-choice exam that almost anyone here on HN could learn enough to pass in a couple weekends. There is a license level above that which gives you access to more ham bands, which you get by passing another 35 question exam which is a little harder. There is a third license level above that which allows you full access to everything hams are allowed to do. That one is a 50 question exam and is quite a bit harder than the other two.

The FCC neither makes the exams nor administers them. They have authorized 14 organizations as "Volunteer Exam Coordinators" (VECs), and the VECs are responsible for maintaining the pool of exam questions, constructing exams from the question pool, training and certifying people to give the exams, giving the exams, grading them, and reporting the results back to the FCC so the FCC can issue the licenses.
When does peer review make no damn sense?

We reached peak oil, it just wasn't supply. It was demand.

Nifty redefinition, but I take this to confirm that the Peak Oil aficionados were kooks, just as they seemed to be. They and Paul Ehrlich will eventually be joined by many others in my "confirmed kook" bucket, but so far my "strongly suspected kook" bucket seems pretty accurate too.
Hardware and firmware attacks: Defending, detecting, and responding
Killed a laptop when plugging in my phone (with the old 30 pin connector). Turns out a bit of foil from a wrapper had become stuck in the slot on the phone.

Since this was in the bad old day the laptop was fixable for under $200 so it wasn't too bad.

Still, makes sense to keep an eye on what you plug into your computer.
The T450's Hardware Maintenance Manual reads

The system board has an accelerometer, which can be broken when
several thousands of G-forces are applied.
Note: Dropping a system board from a height of as little as 6 inches
so that it falls flat onto a hard bench can subject the accelerometer
to as much as 6000 G's of shock.

so it seems like at least some current ThinkPads still come with an accelerometer, and it's not in the disk.
As someone who's often struggled to find a piece of content because the only link to it was about ten pages down a list that you can only add more items to via infinite scroll... I'd say pagination is usually the better options. At least with pagination, you can think 'okay, then it's page 10 that has the article I want'. You can then just click on page number 10.

If it's infinite scroll, you either have to manually mess around with the URL (best case scenario) or just scroll through everything again (common worst case scenario).

This is also while you should probably (at least in my opinion) have some form of page number, as well as a clear and somewhat quick to modify URL scheme (like page/10 instead of date=01/01/1990&before_date=01/02/1992&cat=test&session=123456789 etc).

Yahoo to say it Is exploring 'strategic alternatives' after market close – DJ
Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) shares have jumped on news from Dow Jones that Yahoo will say it's exploring "strategic alternatives" in its aftermarket earnings commentary today.

Shares were down as much as 4.9% and have leapt to just a 0.4% decline. It's the strongest indication yet that the company will consider a sale of all or part of its Web business.

The board has a fiduciary duty to listen to offers, which could come from Verizon (NYSE:VZ) or from private-equity firms that have expressed interest in parts of the business.

Sales have fallen at Yahoo in seven of the past 10 quarters.
If AlphaGo eventually beats humans at go I think it says more about the game (or the way humans play the game) than about AI in general.

I'd agree with the rest of your post but this statement seems to imply there's some "general level" that can't reached by the incremental approaches that yielded the results.

The progress that we see here is incremental progress in a defined area but it's also progress towards more general and easier to implement approach - it's yet "point and solve" but it might be a step toward "point and solve". Given little "general intelligence" is understood, no one can say now for certain we won't arrive at it through a series of these advances.
the only illusion is that they have a good fiscal policy and are willing to change. they got in this mess by having one of the least transparent lending systems, where the government "chose" winners or hid things by lending to preferred groups; does this remind you of China at all? Hence they could fake things for a while.

Eventually that large budget deficit versus GDP (nearly triple the US) combined over the years with even more taxation just sucks the life out of an economy. Throw in a shrinking population and an adverse look at immigrants and its not fun.

So you have their central bank playing with the quantitative easing game for nearly ten years and not getting anywhere. This is mostly because government is borrowing all the money leaving corporate investment to occur mostly as a product of spending their own profits.

Japan is simply proof government cannot buy its way out of a problem, they have been trying for years. Classic money trap that certain economist love to ignore or worse claim the opposite by saying if they just went further, spent more... etc etc.

Oh well, China is similar but the US is too, the difference is the US has quite a bit of immigration to take jobs the locals won't

>The only entity in the world that can pay money for those tapes is the NFL, which means they are the entire market and can choose the price.

It takes two to tango. The price isn't set until a buyer and a seller agree to it.

Only having one potential buyer certainly weakens the negotiating position. But there is only one seller too, which strengthens his position.

That's probably why they are having such a hard time coming to an agreement. It's an "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?" A monopoly vs monopsony.
It says that his opinion is not just a personal opinion but also extends to how the company does business. It quotes him as saying “I would never do an advert with a homosexual family…if the gays don’t like it they can go an eat another brand.“
