Relativism is about thinking not doing.

And while objective truth does exist, I think the moral panic recently about being "post truth" is a little hyperbolic. Tabloid-style media has been a major issue in politics since the printing press was invented.

And while people might complain about the "other side" being in an echo chamber, I'd suggest that in the internet age people are less isolated now than they have been at any point in human history.

It is exactly BECAUSE of the lack of isolation that people are butting heads so often right now. In previous years different local communities would receive radically different media that only re-enforces their previously held beliefs.

I guess my point is that while objective truth is in fact real, both sides also have truths that they claim are objective while in reality they're relativistic. Just the issue of coal alone brings that to light with both the left and right having their objective truths, neither of which encompass the entire picture.
It gets slightly better later when she explains how some of the elements of the output is controlled by the CAD software, but it is still a very weak argument.

He's livin' large. We have no names, man. No names. We are nameless!" lol i used to love this quote in Hackers and your point made me recall it.
The thing is, in a lot of ways those gender roles actually are universal. Not among individuals, of course, but among societies, there are no exceptions to these:

"M&F seen as having different natures"
"F->M direct child care"
"M->F more competitive"
"M->F greater spatial range"
etc

Steven Pinker talks about this (and much else) in this speech. Skip to 26:56 for this particular point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n691pLhQBkw

An objective truth doesn't have to apply to every individual without exception, to be an objective truth. It just has to be a consistent trend. So M/F differences like the above really are objective truths, the same as "men are taller than women" or "cougars are more dangerous than goats".

(edit: this is not to say anything prescriptive about what ought to be done; it's simply a descriptive statement. Of course Pinker covers all this ground; I recommend the whole talk)
The defendant seems pretty scummy and deserving to be held accountable, but the plaintiff's strategy seems dead in the water. Judges are giving both a very good grilling.
What's pathetic is that they actually did download the software, which will probably come back to bite them. Sounds like we can hope this is a case in which everybody loses :)

Well, except the lawyers, of course.
All I can say is what I have heard from Micheal Lewis via various media - writings, interviews, forum discussion via video - and that is almost certainly untrue.

The best way I can describe it is that Amos was very devoted to a process. The way Lewis tells the story, what haunted Danny was the very thing that Amos and Danny both worked on - self-doubt because of perception.

It seems at least that Lewis has as a goal making Amos out to be kind, but rigorous. Daniel simply suffered deeply crippling self-doubt. He did not want to release "Thinking.." because he was convinced it would destroy his reputation.

My primary source is here:

The GFCI is not a circuit breaker. It measures the difference between the current going in and the current going out over the hot and neutral wire. If it's faulting either the circuit is faulty (your Pc) or the GFCI is faulty. If the current isn't flowing back out through neutral it means it's going directly to ground or it's going through a human, to ground.

The current threshold is 50mA
In most of human history, we didn't have basic income. Instead, societies either let the working classes wither away to reduce in size naturally, which came with the risk of revolution as people would resist to accept their fate, or sent them to war, which had the side-effect of increasing national cohesion and possibly result in the gains of territory or resources as spoils.

Basic income is an expensive band-aid for overpopulation where far more productive, albeit less compassionate solutions exist.
This doesn't really answer your question directly but I find a fun exercise is to take a picture of a face and modify it (clip it, skew, morph, rotate, repeat, etc), and then see at which point Facebook will cease to recognize a face in the image (and then perhaps your face specifically), while you still do.

The real point is that: I believe there are some images in the search space that any recognition algorithm will not see a face in, but which your brain will and vice versa.
I agree that the question is interesting and the result in other cases (e.g. code generation tools) might surprise many, but this doesn't appear to be a obvious example of output being a derivative work.
I think it supports all the big video hosts. There's a box to paste a video URL, and it's labeled "Embed support for YouTube, Vimeo, and more."
Looks interesting. At least it's not competition-based and more sandbox-like. In global competition you are required to use state of the art techniques, and there's no other ways to just having fun.
That still doesn't distinguish it from PS, though; just look at Content-Aware Fill.
The ability of the human mind to find patterns where there are none is exactly the thing Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote about...
If you go look, you will have a hard time picking a 50 year period in history, where everything was going well, a nice clean "vision" was neatly laid out and everyone got on board and did their bit. Just ask your parents and grandparents. It never happened.

And they didn't have to deal with zillion different over-optimized, hyper efficient propaganda machines pumping fear into the ether 24*7, and they will still tell you times were chaotic. But they survived and things got better.
That is absolutely not 'better', sorry. Taking your hands off the keyboard to do something basic is never better.
The other side of it is that refusing to offer reasonable licenses to users of the software will tend to cause them to stop being users.
The recommendation engine I'm not sure. Reputation systems or upvote based aggregation seems like a decent first step though.

Payment is easy if the publisher has a machine online to accept micropayments through something like the lightning network. Maybe there's a way you could make micropayments work through an email-style system or through a delegation system.

I don't think these problems are 10 year problems, I think a good team with a determined attitude could design it in one or two years (coding aside).

Making a direct YouTube replacement is probably not the best use of time though. Instead improving the building blocks or creating a system where at least the data itself is decentralized is probably better. The decentralized replacement for YouTube likely won't be a clone, just as YouTube is not really a clone of traditional TV, yet still has replaced it in many ways.
They appear to argue that the download was some sort of trial copy or at least that they thought it was. It appears undisputed that they never used the software.
They work on the average person. Mostly due to them putting no resistance to filling out a form.
Actually those are illegal in lots of countries. Details differ but it ranges from it not being allowed to share any images, or at least not any sexual images, without permission, to this being covered under damage to reputation or privacy laws, to fairly new laws specifically against "revenge porn".

In many places such laws still don't exist/aren't used in this way, especially in more conservative/religious places often the victim is blamed. But that's not surprising given that there are still countries where rape victims have to marry their rapist, so what seems obviously wrong to us might not be as obviously wrong for everyone.
When did adding "post-" in front of different nouns become a thing? "Post-money", "Post-rational", "Post-liberty". It never ends.

It just comes across as an attempt at sounding clever by claiming the world has changed and you're the only one that's realized it.
Probably you are talking about HN comments, not the source comments.

I am presenting unpopular opinion here (score for my comment [0] goes wildly from -4 to +4) and you probably believe I am doing it because I am consumer. What actually make me questioning current state of laws is this simple experiment: can you run an FTP site (or Syncthing folder, or automated seedbox) at home where everyone on the Internet is free to upload and download anything and leave it unattended? What kind of laws prevent you from doing it?

The only laws are pretty much the copyright laws and CP distribution laws. As for copyright you at least have an option to setup DMCA abuse address, but you still have to actually process requests. As for CP laws things are worse: you will get your house raided without a warning.

These things damage net neutrality and make content distribution the privilege of companies which manage to make responsibility non-personal and keep the damage taken from data center raids under control.

There are enough people questioning copyright and at least we begin to understand that copyright is not some sort of "natural law", but a protectionist policy. Discussions on CP are pretty much taboo in our society. People mess up terms (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13567776) and believe witch-hunt is justified (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13568255). My point is that ban on CP distribution is, like copyright, is not the result of distribution being a crime by itself (even in current state it is a "victimless crime"). It should be made clear that it is only justified as long as it harms producers (https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=13567612). If it does not, then the law should be abolished, similarly to how we had to abolish marijuana possession and distribution laws.

echo "alias tmux='screen'" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

But in all seriousness, I do sometimes find myself using tmux, but I try hard not to fragment myself over tools too much, especially with screen finally having vert split, and tmux being BSD, this is one of those cases where I think screen while it has some quirks and may have a bit of a learning curve is worth the effort.

edit: Since I didn't provide much value and my comment was a bit snarky, here is a truly useful tmux shortcuts and cheatsheet link:

I'd like to use the same key combination, no matter if I'm in screen/tmux or not.
Previously they made 5.2 million pieces per month and now they make 1.26 million pieces per month.

Seems like a disaster to me!
screen + dvtm, as I hear tmux has sensible way to manage split windows, while
screen's way is atrocious.
I'm curious how much of that is falling out of the top, and how much is the to accelerating ever higher. And you still need to adjust for inherited wealth.

That is, of those that fell out, how many got there from inheritance?
I don't disagree with much of this. I also don't see where you are going. :(
At first I was wondering how he managed to write a compiler in 750 loc. Then I noticed it's for APL, which I would call terse:

Only in a market with competition. Especially healthy competition. I don't know CAD market that well, but for example my dad did it for 20 years and only liked 1 program. Doubt he could have switched easily with so much work in one format.
I honestly believe that no one in this debate, not even those claiming to be their lawyers has there interests at heart.

Men love woman.
Woman sanction pedophile existence as religion.
Religion promises to uphold basic contracts.

To build a 3-pillar state from nothing but brain deformations. Is the one you consented on in your constitution, not good enough, anymore?

What a atrocity crafted from electric charged pudding. What disgusting deformed figures in each pillar playing the weakest for their own profit in each pillar.

Nothing in this debate is self-evident, but the self-interest of every party. Thought crimes and social justice warriors, trying to erect a new church, men trying to bring back the likes of the old catholic church, where the non-compliant weak and widdows would be fed to the third pillar.
And maybe even worser, lazy monks getting what they desire, not being forced to work, not being under constant surveillance by the all watching eye of the algorithms watching social media.

I refuse to be part of anything, that your instincts crave. I choose my own middle ground.
In this in Zuckerberg and Google i trust more, then in your and my own guts.
This is a great point. It seems like human nature to look back with rose colored glasses. I hear people say how great the US was 20 or 40 years ago. Do a search for news back then and you'll see the same doomsday news article and constant fretting for the future of the country. It was so bad you'd think the world was falling apart.

I always liked this view:

"The world is falling apart!"

"When was the last time it wasn't?"
Even if you can bind it to the right keys, you still have to exit this special mode afterwards. That's less than optimal.
This seems like a bad idea for the vendor. Now all of their customers will have to evaluate the legal risks of merely using the software.
Most of these laws have provisions that explicitly exclude individuals or issues of public interest from being deleted. That people might still try to use the laws for such cases is then not a fault of the laws but rather due to eg companies like Google not being able to/not trying to/not wanting to invest enough to do due diligence.
Summary for this work in layman terms:

The positive electron (positron) appears to have been the first anti-particle identified.
Tautology or not, it's actually pretty easy not to eat too much, considering that our bodies are pretty good at telling us when we've had enough.

All you have to do is eat a moderate amount, wait twenty or thirty minutes (for your stomach to start digestion, send signals to your brain, etc), see if you are still hungry, and eat a bit more if you are. If you reach the point where you feel 'full' you've probably overeaten. Not complicated, although many people, myself included, don't always take the time to listen to their bodies or have the self control to stop eating when they are chowing down on something delicious, even though know they've probably had enough.
The problem is, my terminal already has a concept of scrolling, and its own concept of a buffer, with its own concept of keeping unlimited contents based on available memory, etc.

I've never seen a tmux setup that doesn't fail horribly when these two concepts collide (I can't cmd-f search the buffer for interesting things, I don't get a scroll bar on the right that shows me how far up the buffer I am, scroll acceleration doesn't work, etc.)

Terminal.app already does split panes, tabs, scroll acceleration, search, etc. I don't get persistence, but I don't really understand the workflow where you'd want it. I typically open new tabs exactly because I want a fresh workspace, and I close them exactly because I want to clear my workspace. I can just manually call tmux when I know the thing I'm running should outlast a window (and actually, 99% of the time that's on a server I'm SSH'd into, not on my local machine.)

Can anyone convince me why I need to be all-tmux all-the-time?
I really like the Smalltalk environments, but I have never done anything but play around in them. Don't misunderstand me, play is very important to creativity, yet I have never done a project or lengthy program in Smalltalk.
I use Maxima on Android (running on ECL), and Mathematica. Jupyter notebooks are also a great way to do explorations in say Julia or Python, but to this day, Mathematica is my favorite mathematical playground. I know Stephen Wolfram gets called out a lot on HN, but the product is great in my opinion aside from the closed source mathematical routines.
I'll try Len out, but it looks like graphics from the 80s compared to the drag-and-drop, code, curated internet resources of Mathematica. Watching Christopher Wolfram code in Mathematica for some fills for the movie 'Arrival' was cool too [1].
In any case, I am glad to see mathematics anywhere I can!

You are excluding the middle. It wasn't perfect back then by any stretch, but it was possible to make a good living and all economic growth and innovation was not hyper concentrated in less than five unaffordable coastal cities.

If you live in one of these places and have not spent time in the interior you don't get it.

For an example look into the first, say, ten companies to offer viable home computers. They were in places like Albaquerqie (MITS), Dallas (Tandy), Philadelphia (Commodore), Atlanta (Compucolor), Boca Raton (IBM's PC group), etc. as well as Apple and a few others in the Bay Area. Today they would just about all be in SF/SV with maybe one token in Seattle.

Everything is like that. Regular jobs leave the interior for other countries or are replaced by automation, while high end jobs all go to to LA, NYC, SF, Seattle, and Boston.

I am in LA and grew up in Cincinnati and am as guilty as the next person. It's hard to swim against a torrent. When I go back there I see people stockpiling guns and talking about the new record for heroin deaths. Young people talk about escaping.

This is also bad to a degree for people in rich coastal cities since all this is driving real estate hyperinflation there. No jobs or unaffordable housing: pick one.

For average people things have become tangibly worse. It started in the 70s, accelerated after 2001, and became a visceral downward spiral after 2008. Trump and Sanders talked about this. Nobody else cares or even sees the problem.
Well, what happened between Amos and Danny in the months before Amos's death?
People have been fired or denied employment from "groups" they "liked" way back in the heydays of Facebook.

Very benign things can activate very discretionary things in other people.
Could you point to these opportunities? One concrete opportunity. Please and thank you.
I mean you won't find GNU projects doing stuff like this, but only in proprietary land do you find companies who think it's ok to copyright output. (which is a symptom of the bigger issue of culture around non-free software in general)

Neoliberal Capitalism has failed to create the circumstances necessary for large swathes of the population to survive,

Wait, what??? Capitalism has been ludicrously effective at creating wealth and raising standards of living. What it hasn't necessarily done is guarantee equality or ensure that the very lowest (economic) class of citizens have a SoL that's above the baseline that a lot of people want. And given that Capitalism isn't a prescriptive system anyway, that's hardly surprising. It's also less than surprising given that we don't live (at least in the US and most of the Western world) in a truly capitalistic society to begin with. Most of this world is a mixed economy which features massive government regulation and other elements which work against pure laissez-faire.

Personally, I don't consider a certain measure of inequality to be a problem, with the caveat that nobody is artificially restrained from achieving economic success.

To me, we aren't waiting for "the left" (whatever that is) to present some new anti-capitalist plan... we're waiting to find a way to evolve society so that we can avoid the extremes of inequality that we have now, and create that baseline SoL for everyone. And I see no reason to think that Capitalism isn't the foundation those things should be built on.

The biggest thing that worries me right now is the whole "technological unemployment" issue. I remember worrying about that as far back as 7th grade... and while, so far, robots haven't replaced jobs to such an extreme that it's rendered human labor useless, one does wonder what will happen if/when that comes to pass. And there, to be honest, I will say that I'm not sure if the Capitalist approach will be workable. But on the flip-side, I'm not sure what other approach we can construct that doesn't require use of violence to redistribute wealth.

I've been trying to think about what something better might look like, and I hope people more versed in these subjects than I are doing so as well.

Likewise. Mainly I wish I had more time to think about this stuff.
