I have for the last few months. It is amazing. I have thought of selling it and getting a MacBook, but its flexibility is incredibly compelling. Also, Ubuntu on Windows is a godsend for the platform. It works amazingly. Its display is unmatched.

My biggest issue with it is its battery life. I really wish it could crack four hours. It doesn't.
They didn't lose protection. They simply failed to establish such protection at the summary judgment stage.

In light of the summary judgment record, we conclude
that there are genuine issues of material fact as to whether
the moderators are LiveJournal’s agents. The factual dispute
is evident when we apply common law agency principles to the
evidentiary record.

DMCA safe harbor is an affirmative defense. An affirmative defense means that the defendant bares the responsibility to prove the defense. That can be very hard to do at the summary judgment stage when there are legitimate factual issues in dispute, as there are here.

The central issue here is that one of the moderators was an employee of the defendant. Notably, the moderators prescreen and curate material for publication. Furthermore, there was conflicting testimony about the role of the employee-moderator and his relationship with the other moderators, such as the extent to which he directs and guides them.

The only way the judge managed to discard the case at the summary judgment stage was by holding that the common law of agency didn't apply, not even with regard to the employee-moderator alone. (Which is to say, by holding that the factual dispute about the employee-moderator's knowledge, role, and relationship was irrelevant.) I haven't read his opinion so I have no idea how he arrived at that holding, but on its face it seems unsupportable.
> Corruption exists of course, but that's like taxation.

A few years ago, at an economics talk out of Harvard, the speaker suggested there were advantages for innovation in China-style vs US-style corruption. One was that when legislative bribes are mostly paid by large incumbent companies, instead of being more broadly sourced, there's more systematic use of regulatory capture to reduce competition and replace innovation with rent seeking. Caveats: it was a side comment, and it wasn't clear to me the topic was fully within their research focus.

Similar issues exist around patents. I recently heard a billion-ish hardware tech CEO describe a large defensive patent portfolio as "table stakes" for playing. Though I wonder if they meant "buy in".

I use a website called Mochimarks. It lets you set reminder dates on bookmarks. I mostly use that to check up on threads products, or blogs.

I usually close the tab. Especially in incognito/private browsing, it does almost the same thing as pressing log out.

Now for sites like LinkedIn/Pinterest, they keep your session open on the server side, which might be a good reason to log out.

Yes, I do. As a university student, it's really useful to be able to view different course webpages, schedules, important dates, etc - all links that I would access frequently (almost every day)

Apart from that, I also use browser bookmarks for links I want to (or have to) view in the near future. It acts as a constant reminder since it's always visually present.

I use Pocket for articles/links I can afford to view during my free time.
Hey ! "Creator" here, I am not used with HN posting, and I am realizing the title could be misguiding. The chat is currently only available on desktop (as you need to use the console for it) I am not sure now that it was obvious from the title,so just in case !

I had it for 3 months. It's a great concept, but the execution is poor. Battery life sucked. It frequently wouldn't rotate the screen correctly. Or it wouldn't recognize the keyboard. The pen would stop working. It was a constant source of frustration. I finally had to return it.

I think it's pretty clear at this point that citing Chomsky in cases like this is like citing Velikovsky when discussing celestial mechanics. Wrong and inapposite.
Funny, I had the exact same question, and spent the last hour or so looking into it before I saw your question.

In something I've been writing lately, I've wanted to be able to use certain typefaces, but they lack mathematical symbols or characters. It's something I run into repeatedly. Earlier today, before I saw this post, I was thinking maybe I should just add them, because they're open source, but then when I saw this I wondered "could you just do this with an autoencoder or AN or whatever?" It seems very doable. There are typefaces with them; the issue is creating the missing characters for the typefaces that don't have them, but have other characters.
Chuwi announces new budget LapBook 12.3 with high-res display
Theoretical limits are probably very high. For one, collecting area can be pretty large. Obviously you don't want a square meter lens, but a foot-wide one would probably be acceptable for a specialized camera.

Second, nocturnal animals like howls see very well in the dark. Granted, they don't see colors but they still show that in theory seeing in the night is physically impossible.

PS. regarding the collecting area, something I've been wondering for a bit : isn't the number of photons a lens can capture proportional to the square of the surface and not the surface itself? I know that sounds counter-intuitive but with interference, quantum mechanics and stuff, I checked the math once and I could not see where I was wrong.
Well, I did some further research. It's best not to generalize, as I did, based on Google result headlines. What I found was that there were many examples of calls for violence on Twitter #blacklivesmatter. I also found several articles which laid out calls for violence on Twitter by Black Lives Matter "supporters". However, I did not find any calls for violence against police officers by the official Black Lives Matter Twitter account itself.
This sounds significantly better in my head read with Kennedy's voice.

First this doesn't include any statements of the specifics of the algorithm problems, which can be extremely relevant. Second there are errors, for example the code the return all duplicates in array is just broken, and even if you fix the obvious errors like indexing and modifying the array you are examining, it will still not handle values of 0 or less.
The story of Romulus and Remus is quite far fetched. Personally, I love the myth but it does enact a lot of doubt.

From my recollection, the brothers became strong from drinking the wolf's milk; strong enough to build a city destined for greatness. (They were also saved by gods?)

Considering that most early civilization formed around fresh bodies of water and the positive connotation that barbarians (feral children) were integrated into society to become Kings is rather pleasant.

Fake rice does not exist. It's a persistent rumour aided and abetted by social media in Asia ("Rice from XYZ in China is made from plastic, forward this message to everyone you love!" is the text of one message I received).

You will not find anyone who actually ate any of this mythical rice. Just friends of friends of cousins.

I wonder, when it says "at the point when NASA ends communication with the men", why did it say that ? Wouldn't it be possible to maintain communication until long after they would have died ? Would they cut it off beforehand ? Was there something like a movie to alleviate the boredom while the oxygen ran out ? Which one ?

Additionally isn't there more analysis ? What are some scenarios ? I mean crashing after a failed launch attempt on the moon would perhaps be less disastrous than on earth, but can you realistically hope to survive a fall of several kilometers ?
It's worth noting that the React team promotes composition over inheritance, and discourages any levels of inheritance past `class MyComponent extends React.Component`.

Long term, the React team plans to investigate concepts like "stateful functional components", but until then, classes are the most straightforward way of having lifecycles. The existence of ES6 classes is based on the wide range of third-party "class" implementations across the JS ecosystem, so clearly there was a desire to have them available. Since they're available, React is using them.
Ah, right, of course. That makes sense.
Absolutely yes. It serves two primary purposes for me:

1. Archival. If I like something and will need to refer to it/revisit it later (more than a month, say) I will bookmark it.

2. Frequently used pages sit neatly on my bookmarks bar so that I can get to the websites I want quickly just by glancing at their favicons.

Organisation:

I primarily organize in 3 levels.

Top level: This is where frequently used stuff goes. I have configured FF to only show favicons for these so they take little space. eg. HN, GitHub, Outlook, Reddit and Bugzilla.

Second level: This is where things go for archival. I have bookmark folders at the top level that represent a category. eg. Books, Movies, Tech, Coding. Each of those can be further categorised. An example is my Tech folder is broken up into Articles, Blogs, Podcasts, Material (projects, GH repos etc.).

The void: This is the final level or organisation and is just a catch-all folder called Sort-These-Out where all stuff I'm too lazy to organise (or which isn't well defined right now, or things I'll get back on another machine maybe (Linux vs Windows)) goes. It currently has 13 bookmarks. Not bad.

PS: Did you know you can send tabs across Firefox instances on different machines by right clicking and hitting "Send Tab to Device"? The best thing ever.

EDIT: Forgot these two features.

1. Keyword search. Kind of like the bang query syntax from DuckDuckGo you can set up a keyword to search a single website by creating a bookmark. So I can go 'gh mycoolrepo' for searching on GitHub.

2. Tags. Firefox allows you to tag bookmarks. It helps me a lot when, for example, I want to find all bookmarks related to vim (but don't necessarily have vim in the page title). I'm working on an autotagger that integrates into Firefox to save me from having to tag them myself.

I do occasionally, though usually Firefox' "awesomebar" will get me there anyway so there is not often a need.

My girlfriend does make extensive use of it for all sorts of things.

I think my mom uses it as well. My brother and dad I'm not sure about. Not sure what that says for a confidence interval, but many people still do. Then again, I'm sure there must be clusters of people (when clustering by who knows who) that never learned it's there, or who choose not to use it.
I use a browser called Colibri (https://colibri.opqr.co/).

It has something called Links, where all URLs that you added are sorted by date. You can save a URL quickly with keyboard shortcut (CMD+D).

I also organize the links that I frequently visit by topics in the Lists section.

i bookmark for:

1. work; internal websites can't be found on google and i can never remember them.
2. to clean up open tabs related to a task that i have to postpone; i bookmark them en masse and come back to them later; discard when done.
3. i have a dozen or so websites i visit daily; right click the folder of bookmarks and open them all at once.
I use Chrome and miss opera 12 bookmarks.

Another good one is Safe is Not an Option by Rand E Simberg, with a forward by Ed Lu. It gets into the nitty gritty of why exploring space is dangerous and why we as humans should care little about that, and more about exploring it. No different than the explorers who sailed across the seas. Some humans died, knowing that they signed up for that before embarking. Exploring space should be seen no differently, however NASA and the government are only concerned with safety. Getting the opinion of ex astronauts on these issues is great perspective.
You are incorrect. According to the article, according to DoL, the DoL has found etc. There is a big difference, and my original statement is the correct one assuming that the Guardian is being truthful (which they probably are). If the DoL had provided evidence then the Guardian themselves would state that the DoL has found this evidence. You can't go to court and tell the judge and/or jury, "I found such-and-such evidence which proves that Google discriminates!", you have to actually provide that evidence.
I do more complex things but then I just go back 30 seconds or more if I have lost the plot.
From Wikipedia:

"as Komarov sped towards his death, U.S. listening posts in Turkey picked up transmissions of him crying in rage, 'cursing the people who had put him inside a botched spaceship.'[26]"
I felt the same way and avoided `class` for mostly the same reasons.

For better or worse, there are many ways to make pseudo-classes using Javascript. Is prototype configurable? Writable? Enumerable? What about the properties of prototype? Are they configurable? Enumerable? Writable? And there are still people who clobber the default prototype, killing its `constructor` and changing the above.

And that's just one level. When it comes to calling super constructors and super methods, things get much wilder.

I've come to terms with the view that ES6 classes are just a way for us to move on with our lives. We do a common thing in a common way, and never think for a second about what subclassing approach to use, what method is compatible with what other method, and whether it's implemented correctly.

Yes, you need a build step to target older browsers. But you needed a dependency anyway, to support whatever ad-hoc method you were using.

I never used mixins, but I agree that HoC's present a special problem for testing.
"It has the wrong signature!" - This x1000.
How is that a keyboard walk?
There are some places in Canada even speak Scottish. We have lots of Scottish people and Irish too but quite far removed, distant relatives typically of at least 100 years.

It would be interesting and I can certainly see how we Canadians and Scottish people are similar especially here on the east coast. But there are also big differences I'd say Scotland is more left of center politically than Canada usually is.

But after trying so long to be independent I can't see anyone in Scotland wanted to join Canada or any other nations. Maybe the EU eventually but not a union with another country.

Flat fee processing is always going to be more expensive, unless the Independent Sales Organization chooses to lose money (like Amazon Register lost money[1]).

Going over interchange should save you some money, there are a bevy of ISOs out there to choose from, and virtually all of them will be able to replace Stripe.

Restricting what your customers can pay with, say only allowing Debit, or not accepting American Express, can also allow you to cut costs, albeit it reflects poorly on your business.

This is pretty much on national news right now and it's out of the hands of the local police.

From what we can tell, the news is pretty accurate.
"When the girl arrived at the hospital, she had wounds all over her body."

"“These aren’t Jungle Book stories, they’re often harrowing cases of neglect and abuse...”

If you read the entire article, it's clear that this isn't a fairytale story. However, the fact that Ssebunya was abandoned by his human family and 'adopted' by a primate family gives me even more affection for the animal kingdom over the human kingdom. It's just as true, but at least there's heart at the core.
How can you track India post packages?
Most of us tend to make purchases online nowadays. There’s a reason why we do that, not only is it very convenient, but many times you can also access plenty of discounts. However, once you initiate your purchase you most likely want to see where your package is located at any time. Not all websites provide you with such information. This is where a good package tracking website like TrackingMore comes into play.
What is TrackingMore?
With TrackingMore, you get to learn how to monitor India Post packages fast and easy. Here you receive online tracking India quick and easy without a problem. Not only can you track Amazon orders in India, but TrackingMore also supports other great platforms like Ebay as well.
This shines if you are a person that needs India post tracking for a multitude of packages each week. With help from TrackingMore, you get to access a stellar India post tracking API designed to offer you immediate and accurate package tracking.
Thankfully, this works with just about any type of package. This is the best e-commerce development tool that you can integrate into your website, and it also allows regular users to perform India post tracking fast and easy.
Is this India post tracking feature accurate?
TrackingMore uses the very best India post tracking API on the market. All information appears in real time, so you will always know when the package steps away from the company, where it is located at any given time and all the other relevant information that you may need. It shows the type of value and quality you can obtain from such a service in the end.
Plus, the India post tracking API can also integrate with Magento orders. If you have a multitude of customers and you want to offer them package tracking features, this is the best way to achieve such a result.
I currently work for a large eCommerce site that uses Django/Python. Before that I worked with a large PHP CMS, though not Drupal. Some non-obvious, and practical things that Django does well:

* Dependency management is way easier with Python, so upgrading and deploying is less error prone

* Django scales really well thanks to excellent caching with e.g. Redis. Adding caching to views (pages) is child's play, and super easy to debug/purge.

* Speaking about scaling, writing a REST API or consuming a REST API is much easier in Django (django-rest-framework and requests, respectively)

* The Django ecosystem is great. If you have a problem you want to solve, someone has probably done it already and published a package

* The Drupal middleware is awful compared to Django middleware

* Testing

* The Django admin interface is amazing [0], and at least as good as any off-the-shelf CMS. It does permissions and custom actions. Your sales team needs to upload a CSV file of suppliers? No problem, just add it right in there.

* Debugging. The Django shell and pdb/ipdb are great tools.

Finally, thanks to some non-obvious pitfalls in PHP, you have to take more care when writing PHP to make it secure. Apart from the flame-wars, the only practical issue is when hiring. You need to make sure you hire PHP candidates who know the language inside out. With Django/Python, you can be a bit more lax - there's far fewer non-obvious pitfalls, especially with the templating system and ORM of Django. It also takes devs less time to do a thorough code review. IMO, it's easier to grow a Django team.

I can access my phone and email without the password manager. That's enough to recover the rest.
I treat URLs like any other document: I click+drag the favicon off the address bar and drop it in the target folder in explorer (file browser in Windows), which creates a dot-url shortcut.

Why keep resources in a unique silo? You wouldn't keep all your PDFs/Word/rtf/&c in a "<ext> manager app", so why do URLs have to be kept in one?

Also, this way they all get backed up since I keep all work docs on my network drive.

I'm surprised no one else follows this pattern, but I've never seen anyone else use it, nor have I won over any converts via its sheer awesome factor <shrug>.

FYI, works in FF and Chrome, but not Opera. (Bummer, because I like Opera generally, and it's my default Android browser.)

Anyway, although highly skeptical about the product, I'll at least give you props for turning down the final offer on grounds of who offered it. Most wouldn't. I'd never do a deal with him if it was about public benefit. Plus, seeing all of them loose their shit (esp Cuban's faces) was hilarious. Thanks for the entertainment. :)
