Copyright covers implementations, not ideas. I have no moral objection to truly novel inventions in computer science being protected by patents. An innovative search algorithm, a compression scheme, etc. Its shit when MP3s and GIFs were encumbered, but they were genuine inventions whose sharing publicly genuinely advanced the public good.

The kind the patent trolls use are not innovative in the same way. We need a stricter definition of obvious to one versed in the art, not a ban throughout the field.

There's a pretty wide range of corporate behavior that lie in between "maximize shareholder value" taking priority over all other considerations, and shareholders getting ripped off by the company they invested in.

There are more than two mutually exclusive options for how a company should prioritize its resources.
Brian from Backblaze here. I don't have any more info than you have, but some of us assume it is a form of the "IT Tax". Basically anything for "businesses" or "datacenters" the sellers charge (unreasonably) more than if it is a product for "consumers". Only a tiny number of consumers ever buy a 20 pack of internal hard drives. Thus they are given the "business tax" pricing increase.

The cost of a USB enclosure is about $2. So if the IT markup is larger than $2 the USB enclosure version, you'll see the same internal drive wrapped in a USB enclosure for less. Stupid? Yes.
This article is not scholarly or deep. I'm not sure we could (or should) expect more, given its medium. It's a pop-politics article, so I found the scope to be appropriate. I also felt the implied intent was to inspire people to read deeper dives written elsewhere.

As for "radical left-wing," I don't disagree with the terminology. But I do disagree with the implication that the radical left-wing is a niche in the US. I'd say that it's quite mainstream, which you yourself support by suggesting that it's popular among Millenials (almost half the US population).

The author of the article also suggests that radical left-wing ideas are now mainstream, and I'd propose that that's the whole point. These ideas have become mainstream, so let's start calling them what they are: socialist ideas.
This is probably a better link than the original.

I routinely have VMs and images of VMs taking about many hundreds of GBs. I could get by with 256GB, but it wouldn't be comfortable. I would clean up old images and software on my schedule, then be dictated when because someone cheaped out on a drive.

If something like that delays me just a day, it could easily cost more than a single high speed 1TB SSD. That isn't so unlikely because disk full errors always manifest as something else, particularly when the VM is filling a disk and its internal disk still has has more space.

You got me curious enough to check it out. Ad or not, that is one of most incredible sites I've seen with deep resources that are very valuable. I learned a lot in the 20 minutes there. The 'interstitial' is just that -- a plea for donations to support the writer and hosting for an ad-free (it's ad-free for everyone, not just donors), high-quality resource. I had to read the page 3 times before I picked up on the instruction to input the root URL into the address bar, instead of being linked there. Haven't looked at the code, but is he just looking at referrers and dynamically routing based on being on his "graylist"?

If I find myself there more, I'd be inclined to send him something.

As to its effects, I think he'd prefer to drive off any and every reader who is offended by the ask. They are just costing him bandwidth with zero chance of any return. Maybe they share it with someone who ends up donating, but people who actually donate are much more inclined to be good sources of referrals to other people who may donate.

As to whether it equates to posting a link to an ad or promotion, I really don't think it crosses the line. This isn't one of those informercial sites that lead you on for an eternity without ever providing anything of substance. Instead this is just an interstitial on steroids meant to drive off undesirable traffic. It's 1000 times better than annoying ads and/or anti-blocking measures, imo.
I don't mind the fonts nearly as much as the size seems about 150% of the size it should be for the title and about 130% on the syntax... should reduce them down a little.

A lot of people are complaining about the original rule itself, but as someone who deals with US immigration laws everyday, I can tell you why it is. Immigration law is defined by Congress and there are very clear legislation on how immigrants can be granted visas and citizens. Given that, the executive branch has very little room to maneuver to visa rules. Thus the startup visa rules were written in a way to stay within the context of the original Congressional intent of creating EB visa. Otherwise, it will get challenged in court (which every new visa ruled does, including the H4 visa EAD). I was hoping that with Congressional majorities, Trump can actually create a legal start-up visa akin to what we have in other countries. But I guess that won't happen anymore

I don't think the consumer space is something Dropbox is really interested in. I don't blame them and they probably have the numbers to back up their decision to drop photo galleries.

I thought Carousel was going to be a big success[1] but it didn't hit the mark like I suspected. Even if it did I doubt it would generate any meaningful revenue for them.

Google has figured out the consumer photo space with Google Photos. Their general approach was simply better than Carousel which was too focused on socializing. Even there they would have been outdone by Google Photos; not to mention the crazy AI which comes along with Google Photos.

Shameless plug for an open source EXIF-based photo workflow automation tool[2][3] I wrote and used with Dropbox but now use with Google Drive / Google Photos / Synology.

This is a summary of an article titled "Logged In and Zoned Out: How Laptop Internet Use Relates to Classroom Learning" published in Psychological Science in 2017; The DOI is 10.1177/0956797616677314 if you want to check out the details.

Abstract:
Laptop computers are widely prevalent in university classrooms. Although laptops are a valuable tool, they offer access to a distracting temptation: the Internet. In the study reported here, we assessed the relationship between classroom performance and actual Internet usage for academic and nonacademic purposes. Students who were enrolled in an introductory psychology course logged into a proxy server that monitored their online activity during class. Past research relied on self-report, but the current methodology objectively measured time, frequency, and browsing history of participants’ Internet usage. In addition, we assessed whether intelligence, motivation, and interest in course material could account for the relationship between Internet use and performance. Our results showed that nonacademic Internet use was common among students who brought laptops to class and was inversely related to class performance. This relationship was upheld after we accounted for motivation, interest, and intelligence. Class- related Internet use was not associated with a benefit to classroom performance.
There have been studies done with children that come to the same conclusion. For some reason, writing with pen and paper is better for recall. I don't know why, though.
What I've not understood about GraphQL is how to map it to My/Postgre/etc SQL. The info about resolving specific fields seems .. complex, and difficult to optimize tom say, reduce SQL calls.

Is there a library that, say for Golang, helps translate a GraphQL Query into SQL statements to actually get the data?
Very good point. It is super easy to get your message out now. And also super easy for it to disappear in the noise of the social firehouse by next week.
Safes and convertible note are both types of Convertible Securities. Ie they each convert into shares at a future date, usually at a priced round.

A convertible note is structured as debt - there is interest earned until it converts and a maturity date. There are also terms about repaying the debt.

A safe is not debt - it does not have a maturity date and interest does not accrue.

So referring to a "Safe Note" is non-sensical because there is no such thing.
possibly or maybe there are actually a emotions called sympathy and empathy.
Yeah - it's an awkward situation. The study would be silly, except that it borrowed the silliness from what people were already asserting.
The government hasn't said this. A bunch of different courts (some outside the UK) have said this.
No. You have moved beyond emotive mis-statement into lying. You are repeating propaganda. The Italian proposal is a bad joke. It is a Vatican hospital with no experience in this field, with no hope of offering any treatment, and is simply grandstanding on behalf of the Pope. As things stand, the UK has not "decided he should die". The UK High Court and Supreme Courts - not government - accepted that he is dying, and that any attempt to prolong life would be cruel. The US hospital proposal may be serious and is under consideration by UK courts, but it too has nevertheless been hijacked by uncomprehending US politicians.

In all this I feel mostly for the parents. Their pain and desperation has been used by cynical opportunists for column inches, and that is just revolting.

I just read more and played with GraphQL just the other day, and it's really an amazing and powerful tool.

> Say what you will about the evils of nuclear warfare, but we haven't seen any world wars lately, and nuclear weapons are to thank for that state of affairs.

It seems disingenuous to assume that the way it happened is the only way it could have happened. MAD exchanged the near-certainty of world war for a coin-flip between mostly-peace and total annihilation. We can certainly be happy that we lucked out on the coin-flip, but I don't think it follows that MAD was a policy of pure wisdom and sanity.
> BackBlaze was typically only using consumer drives

Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze. If anybody is curious, in our blog posts we list the exact serial numbers of all of the drives. See here for an example: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/bl...

We have been at this for a while, and the distinction between "consumer drive" and "enterprise drive" is not what most people think it is. But in the end it simply doesn't matter -> the differences between failure rates of individual MODELS of drives in one line is larger than any difference in failure rates of "consumer" vs "enterprise".
And if I need to hit them in serial?
> CVE-2017-1000082

This was discussed here:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/07/02/1

> a rare example of a real problem that was assigned a CVE number by request of someone other than the developer

It's fairly common that the security researcher requests CVE.
CVE request by an affected distro (which is what happened here) isn't anything unusual either.
@deepmike, Interesting project. I have seen something similar on the web, namely here, https://github.com/paucarre/tiefvision.

Would like to collaborate. Send me a message on hackernews, if you feel likewise.
The people behind devuan.org had massive problems renewing their SSL certificates, taking months(!) to do so while people wrote on the mailing lists. You know, cron is hard for a self-proclaimed "veteran admin".

What makes you think they could "just" do anything in less than several years? :^)
There are many OSes that don't do that.
It's fantastic to see a tutorial that separates the frontend from the backend. As someone that _doesn't_ work in web technologies, it can be tough to follow basic tutorials or take them to the next level when you're trying to understand node, npm and webpack, as well as the concept you want to learn: GraphQL, which although hyped, does look like it brings substantial value to the table.
This is neat. There's a minor race condition at startup because scanhostdir calls scanportdir before watchdir. Reversing the order of calls would close the gap and shouldn't have any adverse effects.
No. What does it do?
What I meant was taking notes "by hand" on a computer using a stylus.
Also a generalized statistical result doesn't really apply to an individual. Maybe verbatim note taking is inferior for 98% of people. Doesn't mean you shouldn't do it if it works for you.
IMO it's important to distinguish between two kinds of note-taking.

The first kind are notes that you take because the process helps memorize in that moment. The writing is a tool to help you manipulate and focus the idea in your head. The output is much less important than the experience. These are the records that -- in practice -- you will seldom go back to read.

The second kind are notes you take because you can't memorize them right now and plan to review or reuse them later in some way. When taking notes this way, you mentally avoid thinking too hard about what the note means, in order to copy it faithfully.

Personally, I think handwriting works better for the write-only notes, while typing (and copy-pasting, and links, etc.) are great for notes that are going to be reused later.
> ...Students who were enrolled in an introductory psychology course...

Ugh.

Also, from the paper:

> Five hundred seven students enrolled in an introductory psychology class in fall 2014... Each lecture lasted 1 hr and 50 min with a 10-min break in the middle.

Alternative headline: "500 person intro courses with meat-space lecture periods lasting TWO HOURS are stupid, and everything else is water under the bridge"

edit2: Also from the paper:

> Participants who logged in for less than half of the sessions were excluded from analysis

Why?! You don't think that frequency of use could correlate at all with type of use?! It's like they're willfully introducing unnecessary threats to validity...

And it keeps going like that for the entire paper. I smell experiment design hacking.
Depends on the government of course. A friend was tasked with studying some supposedly more eco-friendly fuels (biodiesel) the government had invested a lot in, and he disclosed his initial findings that they weren't eco-friendly at all, and had his funding pulled and his research buried.

Rory Stewart, _The Prince of the Marshes_. It's about general dysfunction in the early Iraq War, but it's also about the meaning of life. Perhaps it's just how Stewart writes? (His _The Places In Between_ is also well worth reading, but is much better known.)

Tony Horwitz, all works -- especially _Baghdad Without a Map_ (which will leave you with a much healthier view of the modern Middle East) and _Confederates in the Attic_ (a dress-rehearsal for the Age of Trump?).

Pearl Buck, _Sons_. (Best to read _The Good Earth_ first, but you've probably already read it.) I doubt it's a very accurate depiction of China, and the characters' morality is hair-raising (while the narrator is so far off the deep end that he/she is impossible to take seriously); but it's a memorable adventure story firmly grounded in the plausible, and it dramatizes some important lessons about the dangers that can afflict families and middle age.
It's still effective for me. The heavy euphoric effects of it only lasted about 3 months in the beginning, and it'd take the maximum dosage prescribed to get even a semblance of that now.

I've never taken above the maximum prescribed. Though everyone is different, and you'd have to work things out with your doctor.

For me, the maximum prescribed is a high water mark, which shouldn't be needed daily but is available if absolutely necessary (e.g. I'm having a very bad day, and have something time critical to do).

The advise I have is to take the lowest effective dose, daily, and titrate downwards if it is less effective until you aren't taking it anymore for a while.

That's what's needed if you plan to take the medication for decades.
I haven't played with the Golang server yet, but with Node you just set the resolve to something like:

Ugh, per-core licensing is pita. Tell the decision-maker at your work to pay for the cores or switch to some code with more sensible pricing model. Do the alternatives (like Ansys) charge per core as well?
Part of running an "efficient" healthcare system is that cost constraints are always a factor. Sure, NHS trusts are legally allowed to offer treatments that aren't approved by NICE, but they have piles of money lying around to do expensive things beyond the basics that are required of them at the best of time, and this isn't the best of times - like many countries the UK has a healthcare funding crisis right now.

At best, requiring a treatment rejected by NICE leaves your fate up to a postcode lottery where your location determines whether you have access to it. At worst, nowhere will cover it. Also, cost per QALY is one of the main factors NICE uses, and the ACA means it and similar measures cannot be used as any kind of factor at all in the US.
