Possibly riding the OneWheel in the bike lane violated the contest's rule about not violating any traffic laws? (I don't know where they are or aren't considered street-legal in Seattle.)

Edit: I did a brief web search, and it seems like these devices are probably allowed to be ridden in bike lanes there after all, but I didn't find anything very authoritative.
> diagonalization is not self-contained/provided-up-front/fully-written-down or any of the other phrases I've tried to use to get my point across

> But it is.

No it's not. It's a function. That is exactly the opposite of what I mean by "self-contained" (and all of the various rephrasings of how I defined it).

> The fact that one of its inputs happens to be a function doesn't make it any less self-contined.

True, it doesn't become less self-contained, because it's already not self-contained because it has an input. A function whose input is a function is just as self-contained as one whose input is a natural; or whose input is a teapot: they're all, precisely, not "self-contained" as per my definition.

I can't think of any clearer way of stating it. Maybe you're getting derailed by this phrase because you're interpreting it in some way other than the various equivalent, precise definitions I have given over and over?
Netflix's Windows Store app doesn't have the 720p limitation. I think it may just be a thin shell around Edge, but I'm not 100% sure. It definitely has to do with DRM.
I was literally just desiring something like this!
PHP does have a history of making this more explicit, given its origins as a templating language. If you go down far enough, isn't all HTML rendering string concatenation? There are plenty of libraries that handle this in many languages, including PHP.
Netflix allows you to download videos. I've watched several episodes of Star Trek on a train this way.
good post. its funny, im a musician too. i decided the conservatory could fuck off after 1 year. ive found gypsy jazz a breath of fresh air personally... wonderful people and spirit, tons of gigs, technical virtuosity to the extreme, AND even some truly creative players. i do agree the paralells are strong esp between jazz people and swe. i dont know, you probably are further on your musical journey, but, i feel like complaining that creativity isnt present in music just means your hanging with the wrong people. in any case, a fun read, thanks

They certainly wouldn't walk away from the web for discovery and advertising, but they can and would easily walk away from it for the last part of distribution: sending you the content bits and having them display on your screen. They don't need the web for that, and they can build a perfectly good experience without it.
Theodore Kaczynski (AKA the Unabomber) wrote about this quite a bit. To him, the most insidious aspect of technology is one's inability to opt out.

Even if an individual draws a line in the sand and decides they don't want a [dishwasher|car|computer|smartphone|robotic servant], they've only held back the tide for a single generation. It's only a matter of time before their descendants give in. The pull only increases with time.

I have my doubts as to whether more concerted efforts, such as those of the Amish, are really effective either.
In addition to what everyone else is recommending: fermented vegetables like pickles or sauerkraut, especially organic and homemade such that you can see the culture in the jar as well.
How do the consequences affect everybody, all the time?

Why is the price too high?

I'm not being obtuse, this is legitimately not obvious to me. Unpack your reasoning a bit, because I still don't see why it's axiomatic that DRM can't be a valuable tradeoff.
> Users balk at installing apps from little known sources

Do they? With the rise of the Mac App Store and whatever similar MS is doing, I doubt they much care.
> The pain we feel is capitalism dying. It hurts us because we are still in it.

I mean, not really? I genuinely can't see where this author thinks capitalism is dying.

Mark Fisher diagnosed a link between capitalism and mental illness too, but his link is that we can't imagine a world without capitalism - that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine an end to capitalism. The cultural and structural mechanisms of capitalism dominate any individualistic approach to escaping its clutches.

Fisher's a much better read: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/jul/16/mental...
They already have the most advanced form of DRM possible. Unlike a DVD or BD they can always cancel your account, pull movies from their catalog and dictate from which country you can watch movies. What do they gain from adding clientside DRM? The only thing I can imagine is plugging the analog hole but that is fundamentally impossible. At some point the photons of the screen have to reach your eyes. Even in the worst case scenario you can just use a capture card or even make your own by modding a display with an FPGA. It's futile to try to stop "pirates" with DRM. The only thing you can achieve is imposing even more restraints on your users.

I've used Twig, which seems pretty comparable to similar products in other ecosystems, but there are several alternatives. So, to answer your question, yes.
That said, there's a big argument to be made that the distinction between analytic and continental is false, useless and on a shaky foundation of approximations even with massive overlap.

Nothing says "attempting to survive as a legitimate corporate entity" like "let's flagrantly violate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIPO_Copyright_and_Performance... ..."
Probably it will take a few centuries to realise this, and every single right restriction. People are always bad at protecting their rights.
Maybe this is the unintended benefit of companies like domino's claiming they're a "tech business that sells pizza". I'd love to see that language used in an agument that the company has made tech it's core competency and that lowers the bar for negligence.

> In their public statements about the standard, the W3C executive repeatedly said that they didn't think the DRM advocates would be willing to compromise, and in the absence of such willingness, the exec have given them everything they demanded.

This sentence in particular fills me with rage. These are people and groups who have refused to innovate in the face of the web and have used their clout and momentum to ensure that they never have to again.

So much for the democratization of media the web was supposed to bring. Money still speaks louder than anything else.
I find it interesting to think about virtualization on a spectrum with passthrough at one end and pure emulation at the other. Particularly when applied to I/O peripherals, if the bulk of the I/O can effectively be classed as payload, stepping slightly away from passthrough while maintaining roughly the same layer of abstraction grants the implementer considerable liberties in implementation with very little overhead.

If one were to look at storage, specifically, the move to 4k block sizes would seem like a particular boon in terms of increasing the volume of data covered by any given IOP.
Absolutely. My local bike shop[0] does this amazingly - holding rides, in-store events, very friendly and knowledgable mechanics, lots of in-house produced merch and encourages a culture of customizing and sharing bikes between customers. They do a lot of online work too, with an amazing series of instagram accounts.

The case that non-deterministic wallets actually protect anyone is slim (attacker only has access to ancient backups of the victim), and outweighed by the risk to the user that their backups will silently become out of date as their wallet's original keypool is depleted. I think everyone should forget about non-deterministic wallets. They're a historical quirk with few parallels to other systems.

I find your presumption that a Bitcoin wallet's balance should be immune to an attacker who gets a copy of it to be surprising and unfair. It's the same situation with any cryptographic keys: if an attacker steals your PGP keys, then they can use them to decrypt data or sign data for all time. If you want to protect against the situation of an attacker getting your old data, then it's up to you to rotate your keys (/wallet) and update your backups.

Bootstrapping Clojure at Groupon
I suppose the difference is that in accounting, any irregularities or shennanigans are quantifiable in dollars. Security breaches maybe sometimes are, but often are not. I'm guessing there nobody able to prove that his or her identity was stolen as a result of this breach, to say nothing of being able to specify a dollar amount of loss that can be backed up.

With often vague or only theoretical damages, it's harder to muster support for draconian consequences.

Also people can sort of understand accounting. Dollars and cents and balances are something most people can comprehend. Computer software and security breaches, on the other hand, are much more of a black box for most people. They can't intuitively understand what's sensisible and reasonable and what would constitute negligence when it comes to protecting software sytems and data, other than by relying on what other people tell them.
It is very easy to find correlations between phenotypic traits (getting MS, developing cancer, autism etc) and "your favourite biological variable". See John Ioannidis talking about microRNA studies for example. Part of the reason for this is that high throughput data like gene expression measures, gene methylation or microbiome sequencing gives you p << n data which invariably is also low dimensional ie a few factors explain most of thr variation. It is therefore easy to find a variable or a 'signature' which correlates with one of these explanatory factors and the phenotype, but doesn't tell you anything much about what is going on, or how to treat the disease. But it does allow thousands of papers to be published with pvalues <0.05.

Not to downplay this data, but caution is required not to over interpret the results, and avoid making the sane mistakes over and over again.
Aircraft carriers, while we think of them as huge ships, aren't really all that large if you want to spend a lifetime on board one. Habitats have to be huge in order to not make the inhabitants bored out of their minds.

To put it into perspective, a 100,000 ton carrier houses around 5,000 people in tight quarters (the flight deck is just under 5 acres). and needs constant tending and provisioning for supplies. As an analogy to a space habitat they also make a kind of sense since they also have to house flying craft. There are only about a dozen carriers in the world at this size...or about a million tons.

Hollowed out asteroids with internal habitation spaces on the order of hundreds of internal cubic km would probably provide enough diversity to keep generations reasonably happy. The hollowing out process could supply raw material to space-based factories that would then build more habitat things and inter-habitat ships. Capture a couple comets and you have water, oxygen and other things. A small asteroid, something like 243 Ida has a total volume of over 25,000 km^3. Even if a couple km of shell were left, we're talking millions of tons of raw material.
I think all this, distraction aware apps, open a new killer feature that can bring healthness to teams. It is obvious that Slack omnipresence can get you mad but they can easily infer that you cannot attend every @channel or @your-name tag. In this case Slack can be a mediator and recommend abusers to slow down or bring specific analytics tools to executives to improve communication structures.
Risk v. reward I'm afraid. The Sarbanes-Oxley legislation attempted to put skin in the game for the C execs in public companies; so, I cannot help but notice how many public companies delisted, went private after that. The whole of the corporate charter was meant to insulate investors' personal wealth against risks. I guess this is where licensing can provide a backstop to poor development practices, but it seems to have not really caught on.
What is it? Nothing happens on mobile Safari.
Thank you for that, I have a bunch of Audible titles that I want to listen to but I prefer another audiobook player.

The fact that it's a choice between "use the player I like" and "listen to the books I bought" is why DRM is evil.

> To be clear: if DRM is not implemented in browsers, Netflix and the like will just make native apps, which are far larger vectors of malware attack than the locked down EME standard is.

False dichotomy.
Instead of exposing a small percentage of users to large attack vector (native app), you are exposing a very large percentage of users (close to 100%) with a lower attach vector. THe potential for damage is much, much higher, since it would affect about everyone using the Internet with major browsers.
Demos for the most part have fallen by the wayside and when they do exist they often come out months after the official launch. The one platform I see consistent demos on however is Nintendo DS.
The linked research paper describes a log-structured filesystem called SFS, which they built from NILFS2 in order to implement and test the random-write mitigations they propose.

Samsung then submitted a clean sheet implementation of a flash-friendly log-structured filesystem called F2FS ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/5/205 ).

Ordinary consumers get it via sneaker-net on a USB key that they can now plug directly into their TV. Before that there was pirated DVD's and video cassettes, but the ease and cost of piracy is still improving faster than legitimate methods.
GCP billing is all calculated on a cpus/ram/hours basis. You're basically buying capacity units (and can even commit long-term for more discount) and can use that capacity in whatever way you want.

Running 2x 4cpu instances for 1 month is the same as 4x 2cpu instances for 1 month, and will come out the same even if you switch in the middle.

I wouldn't say that. If it between having no DRM and having no web presence, I think broadcasters would pick no DRM. DRM really doesn't do very much to protect against piracy. It's just a way for C-level execs to show they are doing something to protect their IP. It's a kind of security theater.
In my day, the Sears X-mas catalog was awesome for that. It was like Amazon in paper form, and I'll always remember the Star Wars or GI Joe figurine scenes nostalgicly.
I've always been charged for material expenses. YMMV.
Yeah, too bad some losers at Google killed off vertical side tabs which were working perfectly fine and were even a 'hidden feature' that had to be enabled manually... because they 'didn't like how it looked.' Of course they provided no alternative other than having a ton of nearly useless tiny little tabs which apparently looks 'better' to someone somewhere. Yes, I am bitter, why do you ask?
As was said before, DRM implies that no user controls their machine because it implies that someone else's content is always "safe" on that user's machine. DRM is inherently pernicious to everything from basic computer security to a democratic society.

If your work email is not worth reading, you have a communications problem at your company.

The problem is not 'Slack' or 'Email' - it's the wasted communications energy at all these companies.

Most companies have not figured this out, and think that tech will solve if for them. Not so much.
I’m going to tell you anyways :-D. function() { ... }.bind(this) is the correct comparison to () => { ... }, which is not only a productivity gain but a readability gain.
Chrome had side tabs for years. Never overtly, but you could enable them manually. But they took them out because someone 'didn't like how they looked' and despite thousands of people starring the bug and hundreds of comments, they refused to even tolerate their existence as a hidden feature. They're very serious about making sure you use their software only the way they want.
Thanks, I stand corrected. I've read through a few other use cases in the comments here and I can see now that there's scope for savings, depending on workload.
Some people have widescreen monitors, which makes side tabs the only sensible choice, really.
I would replace Kalanick with Bill Gates in this idea.

Kalanick is a dickhead who lasted a few years before getting busted for it.

Both Jobs and Gates really built shit for a very long time.

You might not care, but the Microsoft empire was real once upon a time. Gates was fucking good at his job for his entire career. Jobs had some ups and downs in terms of results. Putting Kalanick in the same category as either of them is really really weird.

Really? Guava has a well defined deprecation policy, they give advanced warning of what's going to be deprecated, and they have consistently stuck to it with no surprises. It's one of the most well designed and carefully curated Java libraries in the entire ecosystem.
Some HNers have a tendency to want to downvote without leaving an explanation as to why or a rebuttal to the point; one would think to expect better behaviour from those who the HN moderators thought it fit to trust with the power to downvote.

This is entirely possible. Scheduled actions can make this happen on a schedule (simply schedule desired-capacity=1 when you want it on and desired-capacity=0 when you want it off). Or you can simply run a command to do it on demand.

You have to learn to use it as you had to learn to use an ordinary mouse or trackpad. Once you are comfortable with it a trackpoint is 10 times better than using a trackpad (probably even more ;) ).

On this view there is no such thing as a "self-contained function". All functions have inputs.
I don't understand. If autoscaling groups are too complicated, just create the instance and stop and start it when you want. You can control permissions via IAM groups and instance tags if you need to be careful. Or you can indirect through a lambda if you need to be super careful.

iTunes ditching DRM for purchased audio was never really a glimmer of hope for video, and lets face it this discussion is really about video more than anything else.

iTunes movies still have DRM. Arguably DRM free audio had extremely little bearing on the future of video, given the very different demands of each marketplace.

Remember also, that with a few exceptions (Sony rootkit anyone?), music had a long history of being DRM free before digital distribution came along (vinyl, tape, CD etc). Video distribution by contrast has a long tradition of many copy prevention "solutions" over the years on many different physical formats.
