Thanks for posting your response. This makes a little more sense.

Of course, my point was about distribution of original works, not inspiration or even creative appropriation. Maybe I needed to specify that? Or maybe this was well implied by the wider conversation around Spotify’s distribution of original works. Either way, it’s a separate discussion.

To be clear, Disney did not publish and distribute copies of Grimm’s Fairy Tales.

And let’s consider what Disney would have done if prevented from using the Snow White tale for his animation project? Would he have just given up?? Let’s not kid ourselves. He would have done what great artists tend to do: be creative and find another solution. There were mountains of hurdles in making this film and that would have been a mole hill. It would have been a different film, sure. It may have been better. We do not know.

The modern Disney corporation is a separate entity, to be sure.

You open up a new basket of issues here. For example, films are commonly produced from narrative works in other domains, personal accounts, etc. The royalty system allows for more than simply profit. In films, it also protects from the original authors, or storytellers and their families from what can be something like libel. It allows them to deny permission when accounts are exaggerated for audience appeal, when it may unjustly disgrace their reputation. This is only a basic example of why these things exist. It does sort of sometimes suck for artists but artists but they tend to better understand the issues at hand.
Google and Apple have that too -- YouTube and iTunes have been around longer than Spotify, and likely have similar data sets.
I used to work on an Iiyama Pro 510 22".

It weighed more than 70lbs and literally bent my (very 90s) trestle desk.

The image was fine, but not memorably outstanding. I remember colour calibration was a real problem.

I wasn't unhappy when LCD monitors took over.
Sure but who is using AMD chips in place of Intel server chips? If company A competes in the widget market against company B and they both built their server infrastructure on Intel then neither company gained an advantage due to a performance degradation in Intel hardware.
Interrupts from ps/2 are pretty insignificant in comparison to all other interrupt traffic on any PC.

Edit: also "interrupt-based" in this case has nothing to do with interrupts seen by the CPU. Difference is that in ps/2 the device can send data to the controller (which then generates interrupt) at any time, while for usb the controller periodically polls devices for data (and possibly generates interrupt if there are some). In the early days of USB and UHCI host controllers this polling was done in software, but since USB 2.0 this is done in hardware and generates real cpu interrupts when usb device requests interrupt (although with somewhat unpredictable but bounded latency)
PR and lots of logistical support. Much of that logistical support is also drawbridge over a moat that makes exposure on a large scale basically impossible without access and backing.

The idea that a person can create and maintain a fan base of millions without all that is attractive but infeasible.

Please read the study. They tested at what the earlier study listed as a "correct" level of Vitamin D, and the tests showed that the lower amount was correct.

"The participants were randomized to one of seven vitamin D3 doses: 400, 800, 1600, 2400, 3200, 4000, 4800 IU/day or placebo, for 1 year, and all the women were given calcium supplements to maintain a total calcium intake."

The membership fee is $99/yr. That's the equivalent of $330/yr in App Store sales per developer.

The opportunity cost of having developers NOT sign up because of the fee seems negligible. People still come flocking to Apple because they think they need to build an iOS app (and because of Apple's lackluster adoption of progressive web app support, that's still the only good way to get iOS users on board).

EDIT: Also, as others have mentioned, having a lower or zero fee would lower the bar, potentially flooding the App Store with even more low quality apps.
January looks to be a good month for discovering large prime numbers! As a former contributor to the project it would be great to have a primer on the best way to contribute today, covering the options for CPUs vs GPUs and the various projects for factorizations vs primality tests.
As someone who knows nothing about advanced mathematics, could someone explain why this matters? (i.e. beyond that this is rare and theoretically interesting)
The benefits start showing up from 40 and above. Strongest benefits seem to be around 55 ng/ml, and toxicity starts around 66 ng/ml.

I'm curious, do you have a source for this or a link where I could read more about recommended levels? I got a blood test in April and it was 27.7 ng/mL, I've upped my intake to around 2700 IU per day but don't really have a 25(OH)D target in mind.

Because phones have in my opinion become a privacy nightmare. I think we all got used to it as the new normal because it happend in lots of tiny steps. However, 30 years ago people would have screamed at being constantly and at every step under surveillance, all their contacts recorded at every moment.
I simply don't think that modern life with smartphones and internet must be like this. I'd like to have my private life back.

Edit: I recently signed up for LinkedIn and it was outright scary which contacts I got suggested. There were people that don't have my email address nor have I ever been in electronic contact with - I just met them plenty of times in real life. Best explanation is that smartphones correlate location and/or bluetooth MAC addresses. In other words, my phone is spying on me. I don't see any reason to give this information to unknown 3rd parties without my consent.
I feel like I am going full dumb dumb here, but: how is this actually bad?

To be fair, Roadster production was never really "up". I'm not sure demand was at any point satisfied before the model was discontinued. Less than 2,500 were produced.
Pinball. I love pinball. I'd modernize the machines. Even brand new titles the technology is very old school. I have some ideas to reduce / eliminate most of the wiring in the system and thus the cost / complexity.

Also, I'd finish my fking novel.
"But you should not compare compensation for the top tech experts. It is not in general the function of the government to develop technology."

I disagree. The US Government is the single largest investor in R&D in the country, and does much of that R&D work in house. The National Institutes of Health, by itself, does the vast majority of basic and applied biomedical research in the US. That research feeds commercial R&D. The commercial guys can't afford to do the decades worth of basic research needed before a new medical treatment can be tested in human subjects.

NASA, DOE, and DoD research labs basically invented the modern world. NASA and DoD developed spaceflight, satellites, satcomm, GPS, and digital computer networking. NASA was the single biggest purchaser of, and investor in, integrated circuits right up to about 1970. NASA did much, if not most, of the grunt work to make commercial aviation safe enough to be commercially viable. The US Navy did much of the early research work in radio, due to the need to communicate with a worldwide fleet, and is co-listed with MIT as the primary US innovators in radar.
As others have pointed out, it's much more likely that the folks filing the lawsuit chose the timing of their filing to coincide with the predicted IPO to maximize PR exposure and increase the pressure for a quick settlement.
While I tend to agree if you are going unrecognized and your manager is inept there is a good chance that you are not being seen as valuable to the company and therefore missing #1. That is why I think it is a difficult one. I have also seen the opposite problem though where an employee felt they were providing tons of value and their managers felt the same way, but their peers and other teams found them to be a burden. When that employee left the company there was a bump in productivity and general happiness on many teams. In the end they were providing the wrong things and the value they thought they were providing was actually a deficit. That could be an edge case, but does illustrate that it's not easy to merely make yourself valuable. You must also prove that the value you think you are providing is actual value.

Why is it an issue to need a different kernel image for each device? I don't see a problem as long as there is a simple mechanism to specify your device to generate the right image. It's already like that with coreboot/libreboot/librecore, and it worked just fine for me.

And before this, what? Ambos queuing up, patients treated in ambos, patients waiting a long time for ambos, etc, etc.

You have to go a long way back to find a time when everything was working as it should be.
The RDI baseline is always set to bone health. It's an indicator for the general population, not people with illnesses that may increase their RDI amount.
I wouldn’t isolate your concern to firewalls and bad actors that break in over SSH. If they manage to find a vulnerability in your app that allows remote code execution this could help them make that problem much worse. Also VM/container escapes are a big problem if you use a cloud provider.
Music is quite a bit different, in that people spend lots of time curating their own playlists and they listen to the same songs repeatedly. It is incredibly annoying to have songs that you want in your playlists but can't get, EVEN if you pay for multiple services.

Making their own content for video has the advantage that most people are OK with opening a new browser tab or an app to watch a specific movie or show.

With music, however, you don't want to run multiple conflicting music players, especially when they don't sync up playlists and seamlessly work together.

I wonder how that will pan out. It's a significant difference.

I interpret this to mean men have no legal recourse when their employer lowers their salary to match women's.

This will obviously disincentivize men from working as hard and lower productivity.

True but Black and Asian populations living in northern colder climates with less sunlight are well known to have vitamin D deficiency.

For someone who's not at all in touch or in synch with all this, why should I install it? What is the value proposition? Just to send money to other people in an ideologically pure way?

In short, if you call 911, the operator will call for an ambulance. You can't choose. If you have a minor stroke, you can certainly choose to have a friend to drive you there, or you can call a specific ambulance (I have never done that before and I am not even sure if that's even possible). But risk is on you.

I can't go to Mount Sinai West Hospital (midtown in NYC) if I am in Brooklyn at this moment. You understand emergency means racing with time. I can be transferred to Mount Sinai West later after I am discharged though. Also, I believe there is protocol for how far an ambulance is allowed to serve on active duty, unless another area is requesting additional availability, but don't quote me on this.

There are many ways to tune such workloads and I suspect our software will get better as a result.

We'll start to get conscious about the number of syscalls we use on each operation, start using large buffers, start buffering stuff user-side...
No, but lots of workloads are built with latency in mind. For APIs that talk to each other in long serial chains, don't be surprised if request responses take significantly longer in many, many workflows.
The big long range use cases in California is San Jose-Tahoe (with its mountain climb reducing range), LA-SF, LA-NV & SF-SD. So you would want a supercharger for those trips.

Also for car commuting in big metros, 40-60 mile one ways are common enough, which is 120mi round trip. The previous generation of affordable EVs had 80 mi ranges, which didn't work for those metros.
I'm a father of an autistic 4 year old girl. Removing screens entirely from her has caused her to develop language and sleep better. I can't say why or how but I highly recommend just avoiding screens (including TV's). The hardest thing too I think causing all this is us as parents tend to hover much more than our parents did to us.

That might go over OK in small shops where the manager is the owner or very close to the top.

In reality, in a company of hundreds of people, that just isn't going to go smooth. Firstly because raises are performed in lock-step with annual performance reviews. Asking for a raise outside of the annual performance review time window really puts stress on the boss and casts the employee into a prima-donna.

Much better to have a frank discussion about salary if it is a problem and maintain an authentic dialog with the boss about career progression. If that isn't possible then jump ship, because it's only a matter of time before you're obsolete. The best way to keep oneself in "top-condition" as far as salary is to regularly interview and talk with potential employers and keep the professional network maintained. This way you know what you're worth and you can consider other opportunities on a regular basis in a way that is under your control.

Pulling a stunt where you force an employer to give you an "emergency" raise on your timetable might work once and for a short time at the expense of permanently damaging trust.
> Having been in construction I question if that obvious thing is really waste.

Read the linked article. You'll see that it truly is waste.

> The budget showed that 900 workers were being paid to dig caverns for the platforms as part of a 3.5-mile tunnel connecting the historic station to the Long Island Rail Road. But the accountant could only identify about 700 jobs that needed to be done, according to three project supervisors. Officials could not find any reason for the other 200 people to be there.

For just one project, that's 200 paid $1,000/day to do nothing. $73 million/year wasted, just for one project.

I wouldn't even bother asking for a raise. If the company's management is too screwed up to comp employees correctly the company is a sinking ship [sorry misspelled that the first time] anyway.

Better to just get out.

As a kind of metareply to all my repliers, I'd suggest that it would probably be easier to find a new word for the safe stuff than try to un-destroy "eugenics". Just starting off with "Let's try to come to a more nuanced understanding of 'eugenics'" is roughly equivalent to "Let's try to come to a more nuanced understanding of 'Nazi'" (and for once the metaphor isn't even that strained because there is a real, pre-existing relationship there); from a very academic perspective, it is a worthy goal, but nowadays, not even actual-factual academia is willing to be that academic.
It was probably embargoed for a while, given how much fixing everyone need to do. Embargo has still not been lifted, but someone noticed and spilled the beans :)
Sorry should have clarified, I am taking about freemium apps , both subscriptions and IAPs. Don't have data on paid apps.

Also I am talking about app that are well monetized and advertised so you have an level comparison instead of chart positions giving and sustaining a significant lead on one platform just by some fluke.
The likelihood that Portland will be washed away by a tsunami is basically nil.

Portland is ~80 miles inland from the pacific ocean - and the odds of a tsunami coming up the columbia river from the pacific, and still having much destructive power to do more than just flood, is again, basically nil - it would literally need to be a perfect storm for it to work.

Agree. I recently learned that this is called "Bargaining Power of Suppliers" from 25iq.com blog by Tren Griffin. His post on MoviePass is superb.
In a theoretical world that doesn't include ticket revenue and "think of the children" speed limit is a function of road design and some reasonable average vehicle/driver/conditions. They are an output rather than an input. You don't just assign a speed limit. It's based on the road and condition. In the real world US speed limits outside of urban areas are laughably low for reasonably attentive drivers in clear weather and light traffic.

In an well maintained sedan there is no reason why one cannot drive at triple digit speeds on the vast majority of the US interstate highway system if traffic conditions are light enough to permit it. The biggest risk from traveling much faster than other traffic on limited access highways is rear ending someone who changes lanes without a signal.

Speed limits exit not because "dumb things are inevitable" but because dumb things are far less common when traffic is moving a close to uniform speed and providing a suggested speed that most drivers find reasonable most of the time helps traffic flow more uniformly and safely.

Furthermore, the rules of the road provide massive redundancy. That's why a margin for error exists. By going much faster or slower than other traffic you are getting rid of the margin. If you're going fast you're depending on other people to not move unexpectedly. If you're going too slow you're depending on other people to be driving slow enough and paying attention enough

The person who changes lanes without signaling while going 50 in a 60 where everyone goes 70 can only claim the moral high ground over the person who rear ends them because they were going 80 and couldn't compensate adequately so long as the latter party doesn't have a dash cam.
I found the article's stance on vendoring to be quite restrained. I can't wait until Dep becomes _the_ solution. That and getting rid of GOPATH (I work across multiple machines, and need to bootstrap new environments regularly).

Thank you, that all sounds right. I've been looking for, perhaps not a single engine, but rather specialized libraries I could glue together that handle different aspects of the problem. Sounds like I'll have to roll my own from scratch.

Can you recommend any general-purpose libraries (preferably with python bindings) for tensor calculus?
You mean it hurts when taken together? I am sure you've tried this, but what happened when you separated them by a few hours? After or before food, etc?

You might want to ask a pharmacist about this, I am not aware of any interaction like this that cannot be remedied by changing the supplementation time. Examine is also great at picking out the research.

With autonomous vehicles, will subways matter in 5–10? I can imagine a world where we have small and very low cost electric transportation pods (no need for most safety feature) that drive bumper to bumper, door handle to door handle at least on some routes. Cost per mile will be much cheaper than the subway.
