You're using the wrong terms here.

There are two main copyrightable entities in music. First there's the publishing side, which covers the song's actual composition. Second, there's the master side, which, once the song is recorded by an artist, covers the recording.

In statue, you can freely cover any song, and there are royalties baked in. This is covered on the publishing side. There's the mechanical, which covers each duplication of the new recording. There's also the performance royalty which is paid every time there's a public performance (on the radio, in a bar, at a venue), and are administered in the US by the Performance Rights Organizations (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC). There are disputes about these payouts where digital and terrestrial radio are concerned, but that's a whole other thing. Checkout some of the recent congressional panels for a crash course in consent decrees and the other wonderful things each side is fighting about (Pandora vs. ASCAP + BMI, mostly).

Concerning remixes, this gets into the master side. There are no rights written into statute that concern the master side. This is likely due to the major label's continuing influence over the process. As soon as you take a master recording (or the stems therein) and alter it in a DAW or elsewhere it's transformed into a derivative work. In order for it to be legal to sell this work you need consent from all of the stake holders, that is, you need permission from the master rights holder(s) and the owners of the publishing (original songwriters). This is, right now, an ad hoc process. There is no industry agreed upon standard for payment, mostly it's people making it up as they go. I have a general rule of thumb: if there are more than 3 writers on the publishing side, it's not getting cleared. This generally holds in my experience.

Any platform that hopes to solve these problems needs to have end to end consent from all of the rights holders before offering a path to monetization of the derivative, or else you're opening yourself up to litigation. The music industry, as we've seen, is endlessly litigious.
From a Christian perspective - Yes - even the choking. there's an aspect of God's will that is permissive - it is thought that God permits evil because it could allow for a higher good such as free will. Though this can't be said for sure.
I used to be a Chef user, and although I do love it, it's overkill for the current infra I am supporting. I haven't had too many issues with Ansible, I love it's simplicity, just lately there have been some annoying regressions.

I do really appreciate that testing is a priority in the Chef community, cause it definitely isn't with Ansible. It also seems like based on the naming conventions in the Chef cookbook, that Ansible is playing catchup with 2.1 (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?)
I like the naming. Pretty clear that if you set the flag the cookies stay on the same site.
What's even more frustrating is when you're a student at a university and you still can't get access to a paper because your library doesn't have a subscription to that specific journal. arXiv was the best thing to happen to physics papers, and SciHub is doing the same (but less legal).

Excellent question, and the answer is that human memory is generally highly fallible, malleable, and unreliable.

We all have the naive impression that memory is somehow like a video recording and we can just access it to find out what happened. Indeed, we all have some very vivid and probably quite accurate memories about some exceptional events, or can recall exactly what page and what part of the page we read some specific item. There area also examples of amazing memory stunts and records, and even memory contests and championships.

But we cannot assume that just because we have some very good memories, memory is generally good, indeed, it is mostly pretty bad, especially compared to any kind of recording system.

This is supported by several areas of research demonstrating how easy it is to plant fake memories, reshape memories, and get people to be completely convinced that they are describing are exact and real.

One area of research is eyewitness testimony, which has pretty much been the standard in courts since courts existed, yet when eyewitness accounts are compared, they almost always come up with a variety of contradictions.

There's also been research into the phenomena of "found" or "recovered" memories often used to convict accused child abusers. Again, it turns out that suggestion and guidance on the part of the investigator can create things our or whole cloth, so it must be very carefully guarded against.

There's also several other research areas in which this is relevant, but the outcome is pretty consistent -- human memory is generally pretty bad (sorry I haven't got the time to track down the references).

I've found that it's best to just treat memory as merely a good hint about what might have happened (or where I might have left that tool or the keys), and then look for actual evidence of what really happened.

My money is on a Crying Department. The entire business of Disney is in creating and exploiting emotions.
Interesting.

Anecdotal evidence to the contrary - i have a sunshine-bright light fixture at home (600W worth of metal halide arc lamps), and while it does make the dull winter days less dark and gray, it also tend to make me tire quicker.

It's the same sort of feeling you get when you haven't slept in a while after having slept too much - your brain still feel fine, but your eyes are already tired (and yes, i checked the lamps for a lack of UV).

Perhaps it is a question of a dose...
There are four responses here correctly agreeing that the lawsuit would fail, but they disagree on the reason. Do you have to prove that the statement is untrue for it to be possible libel, or do you have to prove it's true to defend yourself from the accusation? Who wins in the middle?
This is one of the reasons I first moved away from internet explorer - this seems to happen constantly on that browser. I've never had a problem on Chrome or Netscape/FF, but I'm generally supportive of getting rid of this concept.

I don't know, but speculating on what seems most reasonable, I wouldn't assume that publishers will have any burdens forced upon them apart from losing exclusive control. I'd guess that it means publishers simply don't get exclusive copyrights.

Who has the burden of publishing the free access could be the researchers themselves, or the universities, or the government, I think there are a lot of options besides the current private for-profit publishers.

I also wouldn't assume that much will change in practice immediately -- while the research and data might be available for free, some publishers do currently provide some value above and beyond access. Curation, editing, indexing, quality control, prestige, print versions, conferences, etc. - all things that free access doesn't necessarily come with.

I spent countless hours of my PhD trying to get the White light continuum stable enough to do measurements with.

Well I agree I don't know why people trust big tech companies. I guess most people don't trust them they just put up with the abuse. Even if you trust facebook then you have to trust their employees and the third parties they share your information with. Everything you do online probably exists on many different servers, some of which are insecure, allowing the many world governments (china, russia, five-eyes) to extract everything they want, thus putting it on more insecure servers, where it falls into the hands of criminals and gets sold on the dark web for bitcoin.

EDIT: Let me add that I think it's ridiculous to criticize religious people for being religious. It is regressive and promotes animosity between the religious and the rest of us. A truly religious person will sooner die than give up their religion.
> Environmental influences are typically mediated by their ability to cause or promote mutation

That may be typical, in that there are definitely lots of environmental influences that work that way, but its been established for at least on the order of a couple of decades that there are also influences that impact the emergence and development of cancer when potentially cancer-causing mutations exist, and that genetics while important to cancer, aren't the whole story and mechanism. Attributes of the extracellular matrix, which can definitely be affected by physical and chemical effects that are not mutagenic, are one of the established influences.
Ooh I worked on this project as an undergrad years ago as a research associate! Awesome to see it get more press! It blows my mind that more economists aren't leveraging big data to address macroeconomic problems & models; the data is less actionable than microeconomic/game theory problems, sure, but the learnings can be more impactful to policy in the long run.

When this project was started, we were only looking at three big markets: real estate, groceries, and general "home goods" (washer machines are an example.) Essentially, using the CPI for inspiration and neo-classical macroeconomics with the "household unit" as the center of importance, those 3 groups seemed ideal as an MVP for the project. What I worry about is how they're going to update the model and structure of the project to incorporate the intersection of globalized markets (going to the iPod example, what if some variability in price can be explained by price stickiness, or lack thereof, of labor prices in China? etc.)

Nevertheless - I'm all for the hacking/big data community seeing more of what's going on in the macroeconomics world, as I think it's just ripe with opportunity.
We have one of these and the lowest setting is completely unobtrusive. I'd highly recommend it (plus make your bedroom device free). That should transform your sleeping habits.
In Creativity Inc. they describe specifically going through story beats for maximum emotional impact. Disney movies apparently adopted Pixar's methods, so actually you're not far off with the Crying Department thing.
Yes. But on the other hand, the #2 story on HN right now is apologia for the inability to control one's emotional outbursts.

You'll probably need to solve the hugbox problem before you introduce a primal renaissance to our nerd culture.
What is that split worth if the shareholders of the original company hold the IP and other resources, like hard capital equipment/factories? It might just make companies under DAO hold more capital assets, no cash, and lots of debt... for that matter if you split off, do the new share holders take a slice of the debt too? Do they have rights to use or sell licences to IP of the original company?
It should be other way around, like speaker: what_they_said

I struggle to see how or why a candidate who's proven to not necessarily have a stance on _any_ issues would want to do something like this to appeal "to the science crowd".

I'd be interested in a satisfaction by industry - or better, a combination of industry and field.
Anecdotally, you are the first person I've ever seen say this.

It's likely significant that I mostly encounter imgur links via reddit, which of course has its own comments/community.
VirnetX's version of 'imessage' was released May 2015.

Apple's imessage was released October 2011.

Yet they're suing because Apple infringed on their vague communication encryption patents from the early 2000s.

There should be massive fines for patent trolls to deter this kind of behavior. Patenting abstract ideas with no viable product should not be allowed.
I see that you track time with Harvest now, right? Are you pleased with it?
Take a look at TimeCamp - it's better equipped, more intuitive and even cheaper than Harvest.
Here is the full comparison: https://www.timecamp.com/blog/index.php/2016/04/timecamp-vs-....
Right. The distinction is that a "cover" is derived from the work of the composer. Traditionally, a "cover" starts from sheet music. Only the composer's rights matter. There's a compulsory license deal for composers in the US, with a fixed statutory rate, and the Harry Fox Agency handles most such licensing.

A "remix" is derived from the work of the composer and musician(s). So you need a license for both the composition and the recorded work. There's no obligation to sell you such a license. Generally, record companies own the rights in commercial recorded music, but composers often own their own rights.

The recording industry is the main beneficiary of this arrangement, because they can record existing songs and sell them. The RIAA likes this setup.

The mixtape crowd doesn't like it, but tough. They're not doing much original. If you don't like it, write and perform your own stuff.
I’m a black man – What happened when I booked an Airbnb
Since we all seem to be in a sharing mood...

Also a guy -- no beard -- but (and I'm not joking here)... I watched that exact trailer just now and teared up a little.

As for movies, I have two examples: Up (pure emotion) and The Fountain -- the scene towards the end where he talks to the high priest and Clint Mansell's music takes over.

For me, I think it's generally sort of really EPIC things that do it. Really huge scales also tend to do it, for example some of the star size comparisons, or David Deutsch's talk about relativistic jets[1], or just contemplating the fact that some black holes swallow a solar mass per day.

Sometimes it's just "beauty", e.g. I couldn't help tearing up when Carolyn Porco showed the "Saturn Eclipse"[2] picture in her Ted Talk[3]. Some of that, I think, was because of the realization that we humans had actually sent a thing out there to take that picture.

(Btw, I think I'm generally considered a bit of a cold fish among my friends/acquaintances, FWIW. Humans are weird.)

Two reasons perhaps. Publicity and safety of the officers. How do they know how this person is going to react (or anyone else in the house)? And the publicity is much greater with a greater show of force (hence a deterrent) as well with a shock and awe response.

One thing I would do is make sure that your friend has been evaluated by a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders and not just a general neurologist. In recent years we have gained a lot of knowledge about specific neural pathways.
But, he was the example.

I almost never cry but I view it as a problem with the way I deal with stress, which is usually to get angry or withdraw. Recent research has shown that veterans with PTSD who have a "tough guy" attitude recover at a slower rate than veterans with a more self-compassionate attitude, which includes allowing oneself to feel negative emotions and express them.

It is called the "New York Times."
Absolutely, although some 6502 code is more friendly than others. SNES code can be very optimised compared to C64 code.

If you make sure the binary starts at address 0, and put in the right entry point (which will be somewhere in the SNES ROM), then it should decompile it fine.

Your first step will be to use the left-hand portion of the window to disassemble the NES ROM, and then once assembly files have been created, you decompile them on the right of the window. (this is all in the documentation of course).

Indeed. Also there are increasing evidence that many scientific studies aren't reproducable.

We need a better System to identify 'useful signals' among noises. But in our current socio-economic structure, this topic never comes up as the most important issue. Abraham Lincoln founded National Science Foundation that laid out a solid ground work for this movement, but nobody(correct me if I am wrong) picked it up where he left of and pushed Scientific inquiry as one of our top agenda.

Government surveillance already has multi-band and protocol mobile tower stand-ins.
Those actions are the same at every level of company. I think it's harder at big companies because you don't have the opportunity to offer (or withhold) support or create perceptions about people you literally might never come in contact with.

If you're doing that to someone on your team, (good) managers will notice the disconnect.

Look, is it possible? Of course: in every environment. The person who's going to be unethical and sabotage others is going to do so regardless of whether stack-ranking is involved.
