I agree with you that this law is harder then copyright law, but your comment is not clear what is your opinion if you think it is justified to have such a law.
Trades are the opposite of recession proof. If anything, they are the canaries in the coal mines. When people/businesses/governments are flush with cash, they go on building sprees. Nevermind the cost because income growth has been crazy the past few years and will obviously continue.

Of course, reality sets in and people/business/government's incomes stop their crazy growth (or even go down), and they start cancelling projects. Slowly that six month waiting list goes to three, then one, then you're cold calling everyone you've quoted in the past year, offering discounts just to get your guys some work. Your guys got use to all that OT pay and they have $50k truck notes due next week. They are desperate.

A solid indicator of an imminent recession is cold-calls from tradesman you got quotes from six+ months ago.

There's the question of whether pro short-term profit policies are really business friendly? Is increased likelihood of a banking debacle business friendly? Higher chance of a major ecological disaster? Is nigh surrendering Puerto Rico to the elements good for Puerto Rican businesses? I'll say charitably that the jury is still out but we've been down this road before in the not so distant past.
Leo here:

(To expand on our process from David's answer): We believe that the modern PR agency system is broken. In the new digital media landscape, journalists rely less on traditional "relationships," as the news cycle moves increasingly quickly and journalists are expected to write upwards of five articles a day. This means they need more stories and sources, and they need them in a simple and straightforward process.

We're leveraging software to make the process more efficient and transparent for both companies and journalists. We've built a proprietary database that allows us to figure out what journalists are actually interested in, and to improve our targeting through matching algorithms compared to the traditional "spray and pray" model of many PR firms. We've also built an internal CRM that allows us to send out personalized pitches and easily monitor journalist engagement across campaigns.

For customers, we've built a dashboard that means that PR is no longer a "black box." Customers can follow the progress of outreach campaigns, from the timeline to advanced journalist engagement analytics like open rate and the the time they've spent on the media brief. They can also receive inbound media opportunities from sources like Help a Reporter Out and follow journalists who have engaged in their campaigns.

By leveraging software, we're able to charge a fraction of the price of PR firms. We're also constantly working on new tools for both journalists and companies like Question Board (https://questionboard.onupbeat.com/) and Journalists You Should Follow (https://app.upbeatpr.com/find-journalists/).

We have an FAQ that breaks some of this down in greater detail (https://www.upbeatpr.com/faq/).

I'm torn. I fully agree with you. I also think quickly calling the cops to check on them as you go do something else shouldn't be that big of a deal. Because, to my mind, police should be part of the community. Ideally, not strangers in uniform.

No, I don't think that is the case most (any?) place. :(

I'm also afraid to look at the statistics, as I fear I'll see that this is another slant in class/race standings. :(

>Federation without scarcity or central control means that networks can splinter into tiny, insular subgroups.

Sometimes rifts can happen but the network never entirely fractures - at least this hasn't happened on the GNUSocial/Mastodon/etc network yet. By default everyone federates with everyone else, and there are enough instances that scisms are rare and isolated, and don't break the network.

>And anyone can always stand up a new instance - if they can be bothered to. Running and moderating a forum or a subreddit is hard, and not everyone is willing to do it (either by refusing to start a new instance, or by administrating one poorly.)

Not everyone needs to, though. You just need to find someone who is running an instance whose values are aligned with yours. There are several hundred Mastodon instances to choose from, it's easy to find such a place.
Sign them up for sports! Start with signing them up for everything as the season hits. Try everything once. Let them pick which things they continue with.

It's possible, because people don't work 24 hours a day and might choose to give up things like television or tablet use in order to spend time with their kids.

Nobody “called CPS on” the Meitivs. Somebody called the polic because they saw the children wandering around a parking garage (not a park like in many of the news stories. See [1].) The police officer then called CPS several times wondering what to do with children before finally driving over to CPS when they were dragging their heels[2].

[1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/free-range-family-again...

[2] Not that I think CPS is great. As a teacher, it’s basically impossible to get CPS to do anything unless the parents are abusing the children right in front of you on school property. Part of that is CPS being overworked and underfunded/understaffed. Part of that is that is it still usually better to keep the kids with their parents instead of foster care. And part of it is CPS not having the resources to have more options besides arrest parents or do nothing (like offering social services to the parents). Also I would argue there is a difference between letting your children play in the neighborhood outside your house and just leaving your children at the park for hours. I have had students who haven been abandoned at the park with their younger siblings.

I am working on artificial muscle as a side project[0], especially the kind you can (cheaply) 3d-print.
Earlier work used these sorts of soft actuators similar to regular muscle-- you make a bunch of actuators that move in a particular direction, strap them to a skeleton, and then activate them in various combinations to move the skeleton.

3D printing, on the other hand, allows you to build more complex actuators (that don't necessarily apply force in a line).
Origami-inspired designs (particularly rigid origami[1]) are related, in that you can design a particular folding pattern and have it fold and unfold to exert force in a particular way.

I was originally inspired by the work on artificial muscles actuated by a phase change (liquid to gas, with attendant increase in pressure) from Columbia[2].
Some combination of the two techniques might be better than either alone, allowing for fast-twitch soft actuators to fill the roles that servos stepper motors have previously occupied.
Plus, they're likely to be cheaper in general, customizable to specific tasks, and probably safer in situations where humans might get in the way of the robot's motion.

----------

0. Most of the time I am working on reinforcement learning theory, and so building an actuator with difficult-to-model dynamics seems strange. However there's a lot RL could offer here, either learning how to control those dynamics from scratch or refining an existing model.

How do you count when stay at home mom (norm in middle class 50ties) does housework or reads/solves crossword while the kid is playing around and she is answering those "look what I done" requests? It is both speding time with kid and not spending time with kid.
Sure, the majority still are together, but the gap is widening. Quoting your link:

"During the 1960-2016 period, the percentage of children living with only their mother nearly tripled from 8 to 23 percent and the percentage of children living with only their father increased from 1 to 4 percent."

That means the percentage of families living together is declining.

Thanks for the link BTW. That data is way more relevant than the marriage statistics in this conversation.

I think this (the defensiveness elicited by "here's why you're sexist" articles) is an unfortunate side-effect of overloading the term sexist to mean two nearly-opposite things ("subtle background prejudices that affect everyone and everything" and "overt toxic beliefs that you should be fired and shunned for having").
I love the Nissan version of this. My Leaf has the button, which will toggle lock and unlocked state, as well as a double press (from locked) will unlock all doors.

My Prius has the "pull the door handle to unlock" method, and a push button to lock. But while opening the passenger door or trunk will unlock all doors, opening the driver door only unlocks that door. There is no way of automatically unlocking all doors from the driver side (other than the interior lock button).

Waterfox – Firefox fork retaining XUL support
Whatever the successor to h.265 it will come a few years too late. This has also been VP8 and VP9's problem - they came years after h.264 and h.265, respectively, were on the market.

The difference is AV1 will be here before MPEG-LA's next codec, and now virtually all chipmakers will support it within 8-12 months of the final spec being released, instead of having Google beg chip companies for the next 2-3 years to implement its codec with small/moderate success.

Additionally, I don't think anyone will want to pay MPEG-LA for its next codec, just because it shares a name with h.265.

Typical behavior when the OS is writing to the swap space to free some ram.

Dude, newborn stage is when you can get the MOST done. Especially if you hit the sleep training hard and early (warning: depending on your kid's temperament this may mean listening to them cry a ton at night for as much as a week—with ours it was more like 3 nights. Early means 8-12 weeks, later and it'll be harder) and keep them on a sleep/feed schedule (strongly, strongly recommended—if you don't they will switch their days/nights around and make your life a living hell. This means waking them from naps to feed when it's feeding time, which I know may seem crazy but trust me). Even if you totally screw up the whole sleep thing, they're still only awake like 20-25% of the day. I hate be the bearer of bad news but ages 2-4 are oh so much worse.

If the kid's starting to eagerly take bottles then pulling away screaming it could be reflux. If they're also screaming as if in great pain when placed in certain positions (say, in their crib instead of upright in your arms) it's really bad reflux, and/or it's been going on a while. All three of ours and like 1/2 the other kids in my circle of friends had issues with it. If it's bad and untreated it'll fuck up their esophagus (fixable, but it'll hurt 'em for a while) and make sleep training and feeding both horrible. Happened to our first, didn't know the signs and doctors at first were like "LOL it's fine first time parent, you're just an idiot", cleared up fast (better in like 48 hours, way better inside a week, even better with later ones where they didn't have esophageal damage) once we got meds. Get that shit fixed and feeding/sleep issues will be way easier to manage (they're impossible if you don't).

Newborn stage is way worse for women unless you use formula, of course. They're never more than like an hour from another feeding or pumping, seems like. Even at night.

On the bright side, be aware that to someone with three kids, temporarily only having to care for only one kid for some reason (others with wife, others with parents, whatever) basically feels like having no kids. So freakin' easy. So if you aren't having a good time now... god, don't have more, they're a multiplier on the difficulty. Going from one to two is rough. Two to three's not better. I hear it levels off after that but don't know first hand.

So know that I envy how laughably easy you have it. That should make you feel better, right? :-)

Seriously, the first one's a bit of a shock to the system, which I well remember, and I don't envy you. Good luck! 6m-18m is pretty damn cool provided you get the sleep stuff sorted out before then. So you have that to look forward to. Before they turn into horrible little entropy demons :-(
Yea, Apple seems to be the only major holdout for royalty-free formats in general at this point.
OK, I gave a try to the clone.

Download the file from Github - check
Start several commands out of the blue - no idea what to do.
I call a friend, he tells me to start a terminal and type it over there - check.

(98,3% of the population which expected to swap Windows with Linux Desktop is now gone)

I am IT, the terminal is my friend.

I start ` sharenix` and get

(sharenix:2817): GModule-CRITICAL : g_module_close: assertion 'module != NULL' failed
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

So much for the clone and the experience.

Honestly - this is zillions of light years behind Windows.

And again: I run hundreds of servers on Linux (and my home server/router/fw). I hacked in 1994 some of the networking kernel (in pre-modules time) on a 386. So I am hardly a Linux hater.
I wrote a bot to do this a few years ago. It would grab the order books from a set of exchanges and execute on the overlap. It had support for maker/taker fees as well as deposit/withdrawal fees for rebalancing accounts. I avoided USD trades as it required so much time to transfer. It worked well and it was a fun project to learn how markets functioned. The risk of missing the trade and the risk of hacks ultimately caused me to stop the experiment

I had BTC in bter when it was hacked. That more than wiped out all of the profits I had made arbitraging.
>Most Kindergartens in the US now are half-day

The trend is towards full day Kindergarten not the other direction. More than half of Kindergarten programs are full day now, which is much higher than 50 years ago.
Or it was planned to happen ahead of re:Invent anyway. I think it's fair to assume that there's a big chance that AWS is launching a managed k8s product.
I'm pretty sure it's still going on (so no), both https://twitter.com/kateconger and https://twitter.com/CSaid are live tweeting.
Bit OT, but I was unfamiliar with the term "redshirting" (apart from Star Trek connotations, which I assumed isn't what was meant :) For the non-US people:

the practice of postponing entrance into kindergarten of age-eligible children in order to allow extra time for socioemotional, intellectual, or physical growth [1]

I remember hearing something about this sort of thing over here in the UK. I was surprised to see this wasn't accepted policy [2] until as late as 2015.

How old are your kids if you don't mind me asking? I'm from Easter-Europe so obviously a much different culture - my child's 3.5 and spends ~4 hours outside every day (except when he's sick or it's really raining outside) and I don't think that's enough to be honest - that's still 20h/day from his childhood spent trapped between 4 walls :(
WSL is Linux. It is not Windows. Microsoft "managed" to make it possible to run Linux binaries on Windows, in a pseudo-virtual Linux environment. The distro you choose to run in WSL is not built by Microsoft.

If you want to develop to a Windows target, then configure your WSL environment to do cross-compiling. That's up to you. If you can cross-compile in Ubuntu, then you can cross-compile in WSL. Just don't expect WSL to be anything but Linux.

Guys, come on, this is The Independent...
Maybe, EFF can lobby one of the (truly) sovereign nations like Russia or China to declare a sanctuary for DRM researchers, similar to what Israel has. That would garner them good publicity, allow them to give the finger to US / EU shenanigans and expose this sham of DRM. I wonder how long could DRM hold if there is a steady stream of legit research breaking it all the time.
It's interesting that, in my country, the ones that are retained are the PMs, because they are the "decision makers" and thhus the ones that really add value.

Developers are perceived as mere technicians, who can be cheaply replaced, if not directly hired as contractor.

I worked in other countries were the power balance was like the one you described, and it definitely felt more rational.

My point is: it is incredible how much variety you can find among the various countries/cultures. What is true in the US can be false somewhere else.
The concerning thing, though, is the way we start demonizing and going after parents who are unable to do this because of, say, their jobs not making it feasible.
That sounds pretty judge-y. ;-)

I imagine that faced with your first newborn, one might logically assume that there would be periods where the child slept leaving some time for other activities. In reality, the only "hobby" the new parent will want to engage under those conditions is getting some sleep.
