> He stole data but did not place it in the public domain. Instead, he handed it over to a group of journalists who were given the function of filtering the data before publication

I understand that, but strictly speaking it's not relevant. He stole the data, and is therefore responsible for whatever eventually gets disseminated - good and ill alike. As far as ownership goes, it doesn't really matter if it was eventually published via the Guardian, Wikileaks or his nextdoor neighbor.
> It's morally reprehensible for a company to have access to such a life-changing treatment and then proceed to charge such disproportionately vast sums of money (certainly, far beyond the cost of R&D).

I don’t really understand. If there is a moral obligation to help cure other peoples’ diseases, shouldn’t it be even more morally reprehensible to spend billions on things like TV serieses, cell phones, and social media websites, which could’ve been used to cure diseases instead? By your logic, isn’t Apple like the most evil company in the world, because they spend billions of dollars that could be used for drug research on making iPhones instead? Why is it somehow worse to make a profit curing people, than to make a profit not curing people?
The reason 747 was so successful wasn’t the amount of people it could transport. It was its range. Larger frame led to larger tanks and large range. 747 started long haul non stop flights that weren’t possible with 707 not with two engine planes (before ETOPS).
This has changed with longer ranges of A330/340 and 777 and has only exasperated the issue since. Airlines have simply right-sized their fleets.

That makes me wonder if there are actually any cycles in paper citations. I can imagine this scenario:

A paper X has been updated to reference a response or later work Y, which itself referenced X from the start in such a way as to make the 'version' of X in the reference unknown. Citation-trawling software might bite hard on a loop like that :P

Anyway, I also wonder why having cycles makes PageRank useful and lacking them makes it less so -- you can still count inbound links and such with a DAG, and huge huge amounts of the content of the web would exist in DAG-equivalent subtrees, wouldn't they? I could have this pretty wrong, haven't looked at the paper in years and should go do so!

A common misunderstanding: There is no formal/legal claim of infringement being made anywhere in the ContentID process, it's just the automated process YouTube uses to decide whether or not to take down a video.

Any formal/legal claims of infringement should be made by the right-holders industry towards YouTube (which YouTube really wants to avoid) not the uploader. The DCMA was made to facilitate this, but for a huge platform such as YouTube it just falls short. Here's the important part, let it sink in very clearly:

ContentID is a deal that YouTube made, demanded by the larger players in the right-holders industry that goes (something) like: IF the big right-holders can easily make large amounts of claims, and YouTube provides some sort of ML detecting filter to scan for possible infringements, and when flagged the ContentID process will handle these cases such and such, THEN the big right-holder industry people won't file gigantic claims of infringements and take down requests to YouTube.

From the perspective of the little uploader, no courts, claims or legal things are involved. You have no legal relation with the right-holders when YouTube takes down your vid for infringement. You can't sue YouTube for taking down your vid since as a US corporation they have every right to take down any video for whatever reason (and TOS, but mostly because big corporations just get to do whatever). And that reason is mainly: Whatever keeps the big right-holders happy.

YouTube is first and foremost interested in keeping the big right-holders happy, and of course keeping their advertisers happy. That's it. They're not interested in being fair or even ethical (as the recent Logan Paul drama has shown us--considering that YouTube's trending videos are hand-picked by humans ...).

ContentID is not at ALL about YouTube dealing with copyright infringement in general. If you write, perform and record an original song with your band and upload it, ContentID is not going to protect you. It's just there to help the big players scan for their own stuff and then flag whatever. If they accidentally flag the wrong thing, original content or even the actual original sample (if it's not licensed to the big right-holders) that was used in a newer big right-holder licensed work, then it's going to get removed. A false positive is only a very tiny little "oops" for YouTube, they don't really care. The dispute thingy is just a pacifier.

They have literally zero reason to reduce their false positive rate. The software works; the big right holders are happy.

Interesting, with just about 900km between both cities they seem the perfect candidates for a highspeed rail link instead.
Short answer: Sure, but it works much better with gitpkg.

Long answer: Sometimes you can do that, yes. But you'll run into issues with "modern" frontned toolchains and complicated packages where you want to write ES2017 code, transpile it with babel, bundle it with webpack, make a universal lib, etc., and push the result to your package repo, but not commit it to your git repo.

Gitpkg handles all the wierd corner cases, and lets you keep build artifacts out of your git repo, and raw source out of your package repos. And if you use github you can even use the github IDs in your package.json, but the result is going to be a lot better. If you're just writing a plain one file package for use in node that doesn't need any processing, eh, no need for gitpkg.

Meltdown, Spectre, and the State of Technology
You are thinking of a specific attack that uses the 2nd spectre vulnerability (poisoning of the indirect branch prediction) to attack the kernel. I'm sure in the following weeks other attacks to the kernel will appear that do not use the eBPF. The same vulnerability can be in principle be used to attack other processes. Still there are both software and firmware mitigations for this attack.

The real elephant in the room is the first spectre vulnerability (exploiting the normal jump predictor), which allows untrusted code (think JS) to read anything in the same process. Apparently most [1] CPUs are affected by this. There is currently no mitigation for this, other than rewriting applications to use separate address spaces, and even then, I think with carefully crafted inputs even that can be exploited.

[1] apparently simple, in-order cpus are not, but in principle there is no reason for the attack to work there as well.

edit: another possible mitigation for spectre v1 is converting all bound checks controlled by untrusted input to force non-speculation (via if-conversion). It is going to take a very long time to covert all applications (it might be easier for VMs and JITs).
I wasted a lot of time on this one:

If you declare a local variable and set it in the same step e.g: local MYVAR = $(/bin/false)
The return code you get is from the local declaration, not assigning a value to the variable. It can be quite confusing when you afterwards check the return code with $? and it returns 0. Avoid it by assigning the value in a seperate command.

I liked this article: https://ren.zone/articles/safe-money where they get e.g. an ExchangeRate "USD" "JPY" type from input that has a different type from ExchangeRate "EUR" "JPY" (and thus can't be used to convert euros, only US dollars).
Funny thing, I recently attempted exactly same thing, just as interactive toy.

I had notes arranged in lattice (Tonnetz, harmonic table layout, however you want to call it) with full chromatic range of 3 and half octaves. The lattice responds to touches by playing correct note. The patterns really become obvious on lattice layout. Major and minor chords are visually recognizable and harmonic shifts are just graphical translations due to lattice isomorphic properties.

I extracted notes of Moonlight Sonata, and did simple analysis to determine how likely note M appears after note N (Markov chains). After few notes are played on lattice, the Moonlight Sonata analysis is used to suggest (highlight) some choices that could follow played notes.

If you follow these suggestions, the Moonlight Sonata 'feel' is easily recognizable to listener. Player still has full control of tempo, composition structure and embellishments. It was meant to be an experiment into interactive music, sort of auto-complete embedded in musical instrument.

Unfortunately the highlighting worked only in original key of composition (C#). When I tried to analyze intervals instead of absolute pitches, the suggestions became erratic and no longer musical. Also I found it hard to analyze and visualize polyphony. I might revisit this project and make it work in the future.

I don't think we necessarily need to know the function of the genes in order to create a participant matching paradigm that is better than what is being employed currently. For example we can get a more precise snapshot of ancestry using sequencing than simply relying on self-reported 'race'. Also I don't think it needs to be a perfect match; simply stating that controls matched case participants within X percent ancestry would be a useful statistic to report in the methods.

The small planes have roughly the same fuel consumption per passenger per mile as the large ones these days (AIUI the disadvantage of more engines balances the advantage of a larger plane. Maybe a hypothetical "twin-engine A380" could be more fuel-efficient - I'm not sure why that hasn't been attempted). So assuming equal loadings on all flights, point-to-point would be more fuel-efficient than a hub model (since passengers travel further in the hub model). Obviously if point-to-point leads to planes flying half-empty then at some point that becomes a bigger effect.

It represents the value right now. It can of course vary due to supply and demand.

>, what has taken over in the big jumbo market?

The "big jumbo market" itself has shrunk in demand and was made less relevant by the newer generation of long-range fuel-efficient (but smaller) planes like Boeing 737Max/777/787 and Airbus A330. Airbus originally projected sales of 1200 A380s in 2005 but only sold ~300 so far. The "missing" 900 sales happened because many airlines rejected A380s designed for hub-&-spoke in favor of smaller planes designed for point-to-point.

The youtube channel Wendover has lots of educational videos about transportation and he has a 10 minute video about the different economics of Airbus A380 vs Boeing 787:

That's the fugue ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugue ).

> In music, a fugue (/fjuːɡ/ fewg) is a contrapuntal compositional technique in two or more voices, built on a subject (a musical theme) that is introduced at the beginning in imitation (repetition at different pitches) and which recurs frequently in the course of the composition.

The box (fugue) reoccurs throughout the piece and reoccurs several times in various variations.

Looking at the bottom (zoomed out map area), you can see the fugue as the "bolder" sections of the piece and their shape is clear that it repeats throughout the piece. There are also times (single pistons) where the sequence occurs outside of the fugue proper.

Could a subtractive mechanism work? For example, if you want to create a 5nm bump, but you only have a 20nm thick tool to draw bumps, you could draw "everything except the 5nm bump".
