The vendor can, of course, charge whatever they like for copying fees. The customer would be wise to get source from the beginning, and keep track of it for themselves, but that's a matter of "physical" access, not legal right. From GPL 2:

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

Uhm, you realize they created a completely open bucket for public to upload videos into and then put all the onus on the uploaders regardless? And they are one of the richest companies on the planet, and they just shit on the users, but allow freaking child porn and other disgusting content and then also delete anything politically relevant if it invades a safe space....

Yeah - screw youtube and google. The onus is on their resources vs the individual.
It could just be a matter of opinion, but I prefer both Google's unit selection synthesis, and their WaveNet synthesis. The prosody in Apple's latest method is still annoying, nowhere near as good as the Google models of 2015 and 2016, and not remotely comparable to the WaveNet models.

Apple's change in voice talent is an improvement though, and they may have more units than before, which is helpful. I believe their model also works offline, which is a huge plus (though I think Google's prior model works offline as well).
Just curious: What was the discussion about?
I feel like this idea of 'tail risk' is pretty well understood in the gambling community, especially in the poker world of no-limit holdem tournaments.

For example, everyone knows that pocket Aces are the best possible starting hand in poker, and the default strategy is to call any all-in call if you have them; your expected value will always be positive, no matter how many other people call or what they have.

However, there is a well known exception to this rule, and many poker books talk about it - if you are the small stack at the final table, it might make sense to fold your pocket aces pre-flop if more than one larger stack has already called.

The reasoning is that even if you win the hand, you aren't certain to move up in finishing position, which is what determines your winnings. On the other hand, if you lose the all in, you are CERTAIN to not move up. If multiple other people have already called the all-in, then there is a good chance that SOMEONE will be knocked out, moving you up in the finishing position without having to take a risk. Therefore, even if you have a positive expected return, it makes more sense to avoid the 'ruin' situation and fold the pocket aces.

Yes, but that's the definition of "false and deceptive advertisement", isn't it?

I'd wish for someone to sue a giant corp. so that a law can stop other mega corporations from doing deceptive advertisements. Just like factualized "health-benefits" on supplements were prohibited unless proven right via 'a study (?)' as a gateway.

$999 for a much underpowered Sony Vaio like Subnotebook is too much! You also BUY the strongest VENDOR-LOCKIN made into a product ever, the "Google-Ecosystem". Allow installation of any OS, then we're good, but until then, don't say it's a notebook or laptop. It is not!

As a sidenote, using "false" as a strawman as in "fake-news", thus allowing government to "silence false voices" should be stopped. Censorship, illegalization, demonization are the enforcment of rules made for a minority onto the majority and we know why this is bad for a healthy 'governence of a country'.
Then your argument is actually that they won't be able to do real time audio translation to a similar level of accuracy to Google Translate. The comment I replied to did not make that argument.

Any idea why they didn't drop in the BOOM core then? The EE Times article puts it at 30mm^2 with the L2 cache, so even a larger BOOM core wouldn't increase the die size much.

If, at a casino, there is a 1% chance of going bust, then given N people attending the casino approx 1% will go bust, no matter the size of N.

However, if a single person goes to the casino N times, their odds of going bust approach 100% as N gets larger, because as soon as you go bust you can no longer keep playing.

In any kind of iterated game, concern about tail risks is justified when the tail risk means you can no longer play the game.

Social science and economic research that attempts to analyze the "rationality" of human behavior has thus far failed to take this logic into consideration, falsely portraying people as irrationally "loss-averse". This oversight in the research community is obvious to successful investors, insurers, etc. because the latter have personal investment in the outcome of these iterated situations that the former simply do not.

Thanks, that's really a valuable insight into the field. The closest thing I know about is the physics field and I'm not into it enough to be confident about my observations.

But I do suspect it has different problems, yet just as serious and of a similar nature.
(The order of the buttons is shown to be "1M 1H 1D", but they are actually "1H 1D 1M". You can even see this in the screenshot on the website: 1M is selected, but clearly that is one hour worth of information.) (edit: It just occurred to me that maybe it is trying to say "break down the information into minutes, hours, and days" instead of "show me information for an hour, a day, or a month"... that's confusing.)

Any language that wishes first class support on Android needs to support a painless way to interoperate with Java APIs on their compiler toolchain.

Otherwise developers are going to have lots of pain manually writting JNI wrappers to 90% of Android APIs.

Likewise on Windows with COM support.
You can do this with a Git helper like this one:

I use [Pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/), a password manager, which uses GPG and Git, and I keep an encrypted copy of my Pass Git repo in Dropbox and have that repo copy setup as a remote in all of the local copies of my password repo. So, the contents of the local repos are encrypted, but in the encrypted copy all of the Git data is encrypted too.
No. The only thing that helped a bit was the saline spray the ENTs use, which I suspect had some mild steroids. That would help sinuses open for a few hours.

The symptoms, in retrospect, were the constant feeling of a stuffy noise and headaches during air pressure changes like sudden altitude changes while flying (gradual ascent/descent didn’t bother me most of the time).

My doctor initially declared I had sleep apnea, only after that test did he refer me to an ENT who diagnosed it in a few minutes with some sort of scope they stick up your nasal passages.
HIPAA certification isn't legally meaningful (once the government actually publishes it's certification requirement and standards, certification to those standards will be legally meaningful, and one hopes also substantive; right now it's just throw some money at some firm whose entire business model is issuing legally-meaningless certifications that the buyer can use in promotion.)

The legally-meaningful thing is that they are willing to sign a HIPAA BAA and accept responsibility, not certification.

It's the way the world works and it's been around long enough that even the Romans and Egyptians complained about it.

I went for no-name Android phones for years now and can't complain.

First I had a Huawei Ascend Mate 7 (6") for 2 years, then a Huawei MediaPad X2 (7") for 3 years. Somehow they stopped to build big phones, so I switched to a Xiaomi Mi Max 2 (6.4") and I couldn't be happier.

I paid a fraction of the price of one of those Nexus/iPhone/Samsung flagship Smartphones and they all had what I needed, big display and big battery.
Yeah, I admit. A better analogy on my part would have been that you buy a car and it's not street legal anymore, or one that does not work in today's environment anymore. "I don't want to add seat belts, just drive" or "I don't want it to run on unleaded fuel". (Note that I have no idea if there actually were cars that required leaded fuel.)

Anyway, I think even more likely than running into new compiler warnings/errors is running into external dependency issues, which require you to touch the software anyway, and, I'd argue, are often much harder to fix than fixing code that triggers warnings.
It tracks your sound or movement (either via the microphone or the accelerometer) as you sleep to determine your sleep cycles. You set a baseline of typical sleep for 5 days, and after that the app can predict when to wake you up.
I used to have it on by default, but I found it getting in my way while developing. I'd do things like add some temporary debug code, or comment out part of an algorithm and then end up with a bunch of compile errors to fix. The compiler rightly points out that the code is of poor quality, but that's because I'm not done yet.

Warnings in that case are still useful. If the project is otherwise warning-free then it's easy enough to spot the new warnings and judge if they represent a real mistake.

My preference today is to set -Werror on CI builds. Any code that's final should be warning-free, but it's unnecessarily painful for work-in-progress.
Some hypothetical questions:

- How could CI/CD be set up? (Is read-only access possible to the repo? Would Keybase work on a Jenkins box? Could a deploy server verify signatures before deploying?)

- Could one set up mirroring to GitHub? How would this work? (I could see the signing without encryption as a value-add)

- What happens in the event of a force push? Could certain users destroy history?

- Could protected branches eventually be added, eg only certain users can push to master?
It happens frequently from Google.

You bought a Pixel phone, and Google thinks you might be a reseller? Then your account will be terminated, too.

And yes, there should be massive regulatory action, Google is doing so much stuff that should be fixed, it’s impossible to even list it all.

Well, they are better in some ways and worse in others. Public cloud providers let you offload a lot of lower level operational work off to them and provide you with higher level, and perhaps most importantly integrated, abstractions around things like security. They also provide a straightforward maintenance cost baked into their price that goes down or stays flat with volume.

But you're also heavily dependent on the roadmap of that provider, and they do get their margin. If it turns out you can staff, develop, operate, and maintain everything you need in-house sustainably then go do that.

I would also argue against open source being objectively superior unless your metric is "how accessible is the source code of the software". There are plenty of cases where closed or open source is the superior solution for a given need.

As for my opinion, I think the government needs to work with commodity providers like aws, azure, gcp, etc to get commodity infrastructure services that are certified and usable by any government agency and invest in strong ownership of the development of government-specific software.
GO!

The big problem with content marketing that no one is talking about
Hi,

The way it works today:

1M will show you 60 data points with 1 minute precision.

1H will show you 60 data points with 1 hour precision.

1D will show you 50 data points with 1 day precision.

But happy to hear feedback on the time chooser.
So then why would I have kids?
That's not my point. A general built-in checking scheme that handles all the variations of linked lists and trees will likely have to have quite a few nobs to tweak for the various trade-offs one might want to make, and will likely have to be very general to handle all the variations, making that general infrastructure significantly more complicated (both to implement in the unsafe block that is the compiler, and, likely, for users to understand) than focused `unsafe` blocks, which can, and often are, packaged up into safe interfaces (like reference counting with weak pointers).

> Use of back references is going to have to be restricted so you can't get two mutable handles to the same object. The trick is making that work through restrictions which can be checked locally.

Talk is cheap, and I'm not sure this talk actually says anything of note. Those "ideas" seem to be the most obvious first considerations for working out how this feature might even work:

- disallowing two mutable handles is the fundamental rule of Rust,

- the ability to check locally is a strong convention for programming language implementations, and a very strong one for Rust.

Having some concrete idea that addresses just those two points (no need to worry about syntax or anything like that) would be an improvement on the current situation: I haven't see any for this other than "runtime checking" (already exists in Rust) and "no back references".

---

In other words, vague assertions like "Rust should support back pointers" with syntax ideas are jumping way ahead. The language typically tries to provide building blocks to allow things to be built in libraries, rather than lumping opinionated features into the language. These features will often then require unsafe to create safe abstractions, but this isn't bad: the compiler itself is essentially one large unsafe block.

The place to start would be trying to create a safe back-pointer interface in a library, and seeing if there's anything that is too hard to make truly safe. This has in fact already been done, with Rc/Weak and Arc/Weak, but for zero-overhead/non-reference-counted scenarios, I think a good place to start would be a smart pointer pair like Rc but with a constructor `fn make<T>(val: T) -> (Forward<T>, Back<T>)`.
Fortunately, Trello's free plan limits are so low that very little of substance will be lost.
One is designed to be listening at all times, the other one may not even have the explicit capability (I turn off voice-activated Google/Siri on all my devices).

I think it's logical fallacy of extremes to say that carrying an e.g. iPhone is an equivalent security exposure to having GoogleHome/HomePod/Echos littered around your house, just because they both "could" be hacked/backdoored.
