Hi abdias, thanks for your question! At this stage we only inform our users where the uploaded video is online. Do you think we should deal with fair-use?
The problem exists in the suburbs, too. Everywhere from San Bruno down to santa clara.
Einstein opposed QM, but Einstein has never been the arbiter for all of physics. QM was created and promoted by his own contemporaries, after all, not people who came many decades later. Even if all those scientists of that time had managed to magically stop aging at 30 and live indefinitely, QM would have succeeded as a theory because of all the scientists who promoted it and tested it.
We have laws and governments to protect public safety (from hazards such as violence, unsafe driving, unsafe building design, fire, communicable disease, environmental toxicity, etc.), to enforce property rights over what people actually own, to provide essential services such as water, sewer, police, firefighting, and education, and to look after the interests of those who can't get their needs met in the market.

There's not much precedent around protecting the scarcity of assets as a job for government. Maybe taxi medallions?

>Why should I not be able to just come live in your house or just build a house in your backyard?

Because I own my backyard. On the adjacent lots, if you can buy them, knock yourself out. No one owns their view, unless they actually own a view easement. The government has no business enforcing property rights that don't exist.

>Oh you have a great view?

Are you seriously suggesting that someone else should be prevented from living the life they want, the job they want, affordable rent, enough space to raise children, etc. to protect someone else's view? That's an unbelievably fucked up level of dystopian.
I think the name "Cockroach" was a really poor decision from a marketing standpoint. The team intended to convey durability, since cockroaches can live through anything. But when I think of a cockroach, I think, gross, disgusting, etc.
Generally speaking, the money that gets earmarked goes where it belongs. It's all the other money that wasn't earmarked before-hand that gets pulled out.

The political promise is usually "Hey, we'll implement a lottery and earmark 100% of the taxes towards education -- that'll be $20 million a year!" to which everybody thinks that $20 million will be added to the $30 million already being spent. But what happens is the $20 million lottery gets added, then the $20 million non-earmarked funds get pulled to pay for <insert other thing here>, such that the schools don't end up with any more or less than they had.

Past that, "earmarked for schools" is also a way to reframe over political opponents against the lottery as "voting against education".
But the contractor will at least give you an estimate and say, "this job will cost $2200 unless your subfloor is rotted out." And they can at least give you a verbal estimate of how much more it would cost if the subfloor is rotten. In the last year, I've dealt with this exact situation --- linoleum replacement with rotted subfloor. I'll take contractors over the medical industry any day for pricing transparency.

The App store has a lot of users.
React came with a nice and small interface that work well with the DOM. It was pretty innovative and solved one of the biggest pain points.

I agree that because it just works on the View, it has been easy for people to adopt it.

The support of Facebook helped to make it shine in the "a new frontend framework a month" reality. Now the great documentation, great articles and great component already built for you make React a very compelling piece of software to use.

At the same time I agree with who says that today if we look only at the simplicity of the interface and performance, there are a few better libraries.

MarkoJs and Vue for example.

You're missing out on the effect that children will have in that system. Children will still be there, to keep the population stable, and because some people do like to have children, though maybe not as many as in today's system. And you're also forgetting the old people will die off, just not as fast as today, and not from old age: instead, they'll be dying from accidents and murder. We already lose a LOT of people these days just from car accidents (30k/year in the US alone last I checked).
My favorite on this subject is "Reckoners: The Prehistory of the Digital Computer, from Relays to the Stored Program Concept, 1935-1945" by Paul Ceruzzi - sadly long out of print.
[cockroachdb here] Yes! In addition to being highly scalable, CockroachDB also comes with built-in replication. That means that even with a smaller project that hasn't scaled yet, you still get the benefit of a more resilient database.

Also, CockroachDB is super easy to install and get started with!

Well, I'm not in a position to see the errors, since I've not attempted anything serious in Rust. This post pretty much aligns with my expectations for what I would hope Rust does, given my experience with C. I'll be disappointed if I find that it's misleading me! Thanks for the warning!
It doesn't say he said that. The quotes are only around "beautiful thing."

Here's the actual quote: "Is that nepotism? Absolutely. Is that also a beautiful thing? Absolutely. Family business is a beautiful thing."

I think the description is reasonable, and they make it abundantly clear that the first two words are a paraphrase.
If you tell yourself that random acts of the universe are your fault, thats depression.

If you tell yourself that random acts of the universe are someone elses fault, thats paranoia (assuming sane observation that its truly a random act of the universe)

If you tell someone else that a random act of the universe is their fault, thats just primate dominance rituals, it doesn't mean anything and can be ignored. See it as a management technique all the time. Its easier to detect when the judgment is being made well inside the error bars of a metric, but its just as valid outside of course.
Oh, but they are. Otherwise they wouldn't endanger lives with their health care shutdown while talking so much about pro-life, or threaten to shut down the legal marijuana business in the states that legalised it (which also serves as a convenient example to show how little they actually care about 'states' rights')
You're right. It was 2011 when SOPA/PIPA were being considered. The internet is almost exactly the same as it was then. The biggest internet businesses and ISPs from then are the biggest that exist now. Other stuff related to the internet has happened in the interim (Snowden leaks, for example), but that's not super relevant in this context. The same companies that stand to profit from changes to net neutrality now are the same as in 2011.

As dire as the situation in Washington may seem now, democracy hasn't fallen. We as the citizenry haven't lost any power we had back then. If anything, we have more now given the surge in online activism (that also leads to real life activism more readily, at least from my perspective).
Yes, thank you. This is particularly frustrating when you play with an alternate tuning such as DADGAD. Tabs are pretty much useless then.
To some extent, yes. How much money a company can raise in an IPO is partially a function of how optimistic investors are feeling about its entire sector. If Uber-- the much-hyped mega-unicorn-- turns out to be a dud, that's going to weigh on everyone's opinion of other tech unicorns, whether it makes sense or not.

I live in North County San Diego and there are various communities of new construction available. From what I've seen, places are more willing to accept planned communities where you can account for traffic, water/sewer, schools, etc.

I'm not sure if you're talking about building a new home that replaces an existing one, or building a new home where no home has ever been built. I assume the latter, but if so, there is certainly a lot involved.
I don't see why it would change anything in that respect. Like I said, you can already achieve this without Amazon's fancy new box by saying, "Answer your phone when I call or you're fired."
> But don't fall into the trap of thinking the other side is disingenuous and evil.

It just tends to act that way when unregulated.
Yep Tika is pretty much the choice in this situation. It's not perfect but it's good enough for most purposes.
It's pretty remarkable that "French law requires films to be kept off of streaming services for 36 months after their theatrical release". Does anyone know if more filmmakers are skipping theatrical release in France in favor of a streaming release, or if France has theatrical releases similar to the rest of the world, just delayed VoD?
I would fully support making it relatively easy to unlock those buttens, but, remember, we're educating not just "people who will eventually hang out on Hacker News". It is not reasonable to take the personal experiences of people here as a baseline for all education.
To the contrary, I think they're encouraging Electron apps. Electron apps can be packaged directly to Windows Store. Another case in point: Visual Studio Code.
Thanks. But what are we defining as cities? Are suburbs included? Where are suburbs allowed to remain, as we force zoning shifts to high density?

The YIMBY movement is strong throughout the Penninsula, between SF to San Jose -- areas previously considered suburbs.

Clearly a 5000 sq ft lot is unacceptable in SF, but where _is_ it acceptable? San Bruno? Menlo Park? Mountain View? Sunnyvale? Pleasanton? Oakland? And for how long?

The article is talking about State laws. Presumably they would apply to all cities, not just SF.
They haven't really been betting on Linux at all for about two years. All major development efforts, at least consumer facing ones, have pretty much stopped. SteamOS now is as bad as it was when the Steam Machines released, which are still awful. Feral and Aspyr are pretty much the only two games in town nowadays producing consistent and good Linux ports of AAA titles. And they are just that, though - ports. Neither company has the developer manpower or budget for their ports to make good native OpenGL games. Likewise, the other major source of Linux titles is Unity, whom also haven't invested much in making a well optimized OpenGL rendering engine compared to their DX one.

The end result is that games run poorly on Linux and give a terrible experience to anyone trying it, because nobody wants to invest in native titles that are as optimized as the Windows ones... besides Valve. Pretty much every Valve game runs as good or better on Linux than on Windows, but they were the exception able to throw what is in all likelihood more money than they have made from Linux users in their first year on the platform to port these titles correctly.

Top it off with how bad the uptake on Vulkan has been relative to DX12, and the future is not bright for Linux gaming. It is way better than it ever was, and for anyone except a hardcore gamer the library is definitely vast enough to not feel any desire to use Windows over Linux for the sole reason of gaming, but its in such a shoddy state it won't win over hearts or minds any time soon.
One thing I noticed a few years ago, was that Spotify was using a massive amount more upload bandwidth than download. Upon digging it actually appeared they were streaming FROM my computer, similar to how a torrenting system works. I'm assuming their current platform is doing something similar.

If this is indeed the case, they can stream music to everyone's phones / computers, then use their network to stream to their other customers. It's truly brilliant, and saves them tons on network costs. At the same time, it is somewhat disingenuous to me - hence I'll never go back.

It's not at all surprising that their initial "success" is tied to torrenting as well.

EDIT: Yes I know they supposidly stopped this program [1]. I still thought I should share it, as many people don't/didn't know (and it is relevant to the article).

Good link. Really appreciated.

I would be interested in seeing how that 3GB looked like though.

For instance Emacs has no issues with huge files (logs with many lines), but can completely choke when the lines are really long (like a minified JS-file without lineshifts).

I guess similar constraints may exist in other editors too.

Without knowing how those 3GBs looks, it's hard to make a decent judgement of what the "load" test actually tests.
I wouldn't characterize hemorrhaging money and facing lawsuits from all of major media players as being successful.

[cockroachdb here] Thanks for the great response, bpicolo!
I strongly disagree that the bar is low. It’s not at all unusual for people who quickly sign up for OSM to remove a defunct POI, to accidentally remove other nodes along with it because they don’t really understand yet how editing is done. It’s also common for newbies to trace from wildly unaligned aerial imagery, or to use the wrong tags because they don’t know to consult the wiki any time they use a new tag. OSM is years past the point where any additions are welcome, and like with Wikipedia, no edits at all are often preferable to low-quality ones.

Difference is Chromebooks are fairly open hardware wise. Almost every model uses a Coreboot you can use alternative payloads on, so you can naively boot Linux, or run it under Crouton is a nearly no overhead environment. Some Chromebooks are bad eggs that never provide unlocks to their firmware, but most do.

Apple and Microsoft would never be that respectful of its users. The whole point of how draconian iOS and Windows RT 2.0 (aka 10 S) are is to strip user freedom to make more money.
This peer-to-peer streaming architecture was definitely a part of Spotify in the early days. It has been removed as of 2014.[0]

I know of more than a few companies that are growing tech teams here in Toronto (while primarily having US-based clients) because average salaries are lower than in the US tech centers.

My impression is that the tech workforce here is healthy for a few reasons:

1) the presence of tech giants such as IBM in Markham (plus Toronto's fame for multiculturalism and for having high quality of life) means it attracts a lot of Indian, Chinese and eastern Europe talent. There's also a fair amount of ex-IBMers etc spilling over into growing mid-sized companies that need senior level tech workers with large corp experience.

2) there's a relatively healthy startup scene, but investment here is fairly conservative. Startups without profit strategies tend to die quickly, so as a result, startups here tend to be less pie-in-the-sky than SF unicorn wannabes. Because companies grow steadily and conservatively, they often provide high job security environments that encourage long single-company careers. This creates an incentive for experienced tech workers to stay in Toronto, rather than chase higher salaries elsewhere. I know many tech people that have been in a single company for 7+ years (some even 16+ years!)

3) there are some strong tech education options like Waterloo, which often collaborates with big name organizations like Mozilla. Internships to help get new grads get their foot in the door of the industry are also fairly common
No, I'm saying that having even massive dirty like this on a candidate apparently doesn't prevent them from winning anyways. A common response to pussy gate was that you hear stuff like that in any mens room. So digging up dirty from twenty years ago from someone Facebook page will likely be met with the same response.
They removed P2P streaming around 2014[0].

Yeah, I was just echoing your comment that you provide a small library for HTML5 canvas-based teaching. If I was going to teach someone Rust, I would definitely do that, but of course I (the teacher) would need to know enough to build it in the first place.

I absolutely advocate using graphics and games as the hook to keep people interested in learning. [1] "The immediacy of many 8-bit computers was awesome. Instant boot to a graphics-ready command line and program editor. I was instantly hooked". And that's why, despite the really bad fit, I support the addition of a 2d std library to C++, and would do likewise for Go, Rust, etc.

Federated consensus decouples trust from resource ownership and requires no assumptions about the rational behavior of attackers. Boscoin's consensus protocol is "modified" from Stellar's in that nodes form clusters and validate with their close peers first; it's faster but there's still the problem that there's only one central blockchain - all validations have to propagate eventually to all nodes.
It's memorable. So if the product is really excellent and is needed by customers - then I think it could be a boon.

I mean Mongo has very bad associations for me in terms of childhood taunts and Blazing Saddles...but now the name really relates more to the product than to the original meaning.

They used to use peer-to-peer to speed up music download (and reduce the load on their servers, presumably) but I believe that it is no longer the case: https://torrentfreak.com/spotify-starts-shutting-down-its-ma...

Actually it's mentioned in the article itself: "The technology deployed by Spotify was also familiar. Like the majority of ‘pirate’ platforms at the time, Spotify operated a peer-to-peer (P2P) system which grew to become one of the largest on the Internet. It was shut down in 2011."

The date appears to be wrong though, since the other sources (including the linked article) are from 2014.
It's not just about a massive conflict kinetically disrupting those supply lines. Influcencing those supply lines is a key tactic in the day-by-day posturing and low-level conflicts of geopolitics.
Third and final time posting here.

Our decision to use IPv6 cost us more than 70% of our potential users. For example, the Amazon App Store will fail to validate an app that requires IPv6 connectivity.

Melondream now uses UDP over IPv4. The previous IPv6 client is no longer compatible with the server.

If you were among the hundreds of Hacker News users who tried to connect but failed, we invite you to download the new client and try again.

If you succeeded to connect before, and plan to connect again, you must download the new client. All users must download the new client.

If you're interested in the structure of unsupervised neural network feature spaces-- which points are near which points-- you will enjoy Melondream. If you're also interested in the nude female form, well, don't delay... :)

Not mysql, but we've tested and recommend the Ruby pg driver and the ActiveRecord ORM[1] (CockroachDB supports the PostgreSQL wire protocol). It should be 'plug and play' insofar as you simply point to any node in the running cluster when setting up ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection.
