In the end he did provide access. So what matters is what he had really thought of it all when he asked them to tweet.

If that was "okay, there is a demand, I can't monetize it but can still convert it into something useful while I think how this can be a successful business" is one thing. Telling users to fund/tweet/support/whatever while the problem is being tackled feels perfectly fair to me.

If that was "muahaha see my army of puppets tweeting" it's another thing, of course.
Um, how are they supposed to make money if they don't track you to a certain extent? Do they have flaws? Yes -- it's not funny what kind of things you can target for based AdWords, their internal staff probably aren't creative enough to think up ways in which their tools can be used to inflict misery. Software engineers aren't soldiers, doctors, or civil servants what kind of ethical code do you expect? How will people be held accountable to it? What will happen to these who make transgressions?
They do a poor job of controlling behavior.

Debatable. Here is one study[0] that claims that while it has minimal effect on people who already are heavy smokers, it does have an effect on reducing the consumption among the young.

I agree.

I can only think the negative components are ironically from the readers who lack the empathy to understand what OP was going through - both his limited understanding of what was happening and the implications.

Most importantly, I appreciated the honest writeup - something quite rare these days.

Million Short is a search engine that can remove popular websites from the search results. You can set how many sites you want to filter out when searching, for example, you can remove the top 100, 1000, 10k, 100k, or million sites. I find that using it leads to reaching a different set of, less commercial, low ranked sites that are usually hidden in Google search. This is good for explorative searches and to find opinionated POV writing but not always, sometimes you just get trash. YMMV.

Microsoft has access to information on what you do on your PC to feed into Bing. It's not a data quantity gap. And Bing has overlapping results for a lot of queries.

If you mean "relatively tiny" in terms of traffic, how do you know that's not just brand recognition at this point---Google still thought of as a "search engine company," MS as "an OS and business software company dabbling in search?"

Definitely misinterpreted your comment. My interpretation of "no effect" is 0%, not <100%. Looks like we're mostly in agreement.
I think they pointed out the spelling error because it was made twice. I don't see anywhere in their comment where they tied it to your intelligence.
Saffron from Afghanistan: speaking of the Silk Road, saffron was worth its weight in gold. Alexander the Great would bathe in saffron after battle to heal his wounds, and Cleopatra bathed also in saffron before her trysts with Julius Caesar. In the Middle Ages you could be put to death for adulterating saffron. Anyway, my company is a group of military veterans who source saffron directly from Afghan farmers and hired almost 2,000 Afghan women this year. We source our saffron to The French Laundry, Dominique Crenn, Daniel Boulud, Blue Apron, and once to Mark Cuban on Shark Tank. :)

I feel the opposite. I'd like nothing better than this to be the end of branch prediciton. I can think of no other technology that's been so deterimental to high level languages than branch prediction. How many elegant, beutiful algorithms are replaced by bizarre data structures, etc., because avoiding pipeline stalls will trump any other optimization you can make.

For most things the CPU is doing, we can ignore in high level languages because the compiler/optimizer can turn our high level code into the appropriate byte code to take advantage of deep hardwar magic. Not branch prediction, though, no matter how high level my language, I still must consider pipeline size, cache alignment and so on when designing a novel new container or algorithm or risk it being inexplicitly slow.

Branch prediction is, and always was a hack. Let it die.

Fascinating History of Today's Google Doodle: Biochemist Har Gobind Khorana
It's actually quite worse than that. Terry is kind of going through a "teenager" phase it appears.

Apparently he left his parents house and started living in his car and his family went to visit him unannounced. There was some kind of altercation (probably his family trying to physically get him back) and the authorities were called because of a disturbance and he was charged with "Battery" in Las Vegas. He plead guilty to some minor charges. During the same time he's been seen with what some are describing a hooker.

Unfortunately he also has an ongoing fascination with some famous YouTuber and predators/trolls are taking advantage of him by posing as her to get him to send naked photos =(

The Terry Davis story gets crazier every day and I have a lot of sympathy for him. It upsets me to see the some areas of the Internet exploit him for the whole "CIA" thing.

EDIT - A new development he was arrested in Arizona on the 27th of December for property damage? Get well soon, Terry.

It might not be that easy to tell. The C++ I write (for myself) is essentially plain C. No templates, dynamic dispatch, constructors, or exceptions. Most of the standard libs I use begin with the letter 'c'.

It uses some C++ features, but it's philosophically much closer to C code.

Same thing could happen to apps. There was a Baidu app in China that secretly downloaded random videos just to eat up the users' data plan, so they will buy more data.
Trademarks are about protecting the use of "marks" (i.e., logos, names, etc.) for use in "trade". So having a trademark on Mickey Mouse means that you can't use Mickey Mouse to advertise or promote your product, and this can probably construed broadly (e.g., sample screenshots of a game, packaging material). Even if it can't Disney is not known for being shy on litigation, and it's totally possible for them to sue you even if they have only a slim chance of victory. Using Mickey Mouse as a cameo would be totally legal if he's not used to advertise it, although the tricky part could be holding that the cameo comes from public domain work and not later, still-copyrighted derivatives.
They are already making the city a valuable place to live. I've heard it called the 'schoolteacher paradox'. A brilliant schoolteacher moves to a new area and begins working at a school. Her effect on grades drives the school up through the rankings. This attracts interest in moving into the area, which drives demand for housing and voila, she just drove up her own rent. Her landlord gets to extract more wealth from her.

The high value of property in San Francisco is a lot to do with its proximity to amenities and services provided for by the very people suffering because of continually rising property prices. This is a highly parasitic dynamic.

If moral judgements are really your primary concern why are you advocating for eliminating a policy that allows a tiny bit of clawback from the pre-existing titanic wealth transfer that goes from renter to landlord?

Moreover, it's a policy that by and large keeps people who do necessary work.

There's a fair, economically efficient solution to all of this, of course: the 100% land value tax.

Rent control is merely a hack that offsets some of the gargantuan harm done by leeches extracting value from the communities surrounding them via untaxed land. I'd be fine with seeing it go... after implementing a 100% land value tax.
It sounds unreasonable.

That said, the idea that your "life" has any role in this whatsoever is also unreasonable.

Copyright should last X years. If the author dies, X is still X, and if the author lives then X is still X.

This maintains the incentives, despite terminal illnesses, while also preserving the rights of the greater society to reflect on its own culture and encourage new artistic works. It's also how copyright originally worked (IIRC).
When you're 60+, you either still need to make money (life is expensive) or you're creating because you want to. Creating so that your grandchildren can keep making money 50 years from now doesn't seem like a strong motivation.

The brouhaha over a Prius (or heck, my Focus Electric) not paying fair share of gas taxes is overblown since hybrids and electrics still constitute a minuscule % of total road wear.

The issue will come to a head when we have 4x4s and 18 wheelers en masse hybridized or fully electric in large quantities. I don't see that happening for a decade or more out.
I think a fair system would be X years after publication.

* If you die X+1 years after, your kids get nothing.

* If you die the day it's published, your kids get X-1 day.

* If your kids discover it after your death and publish it, they get the whole X years.

Around 40 years seems like a reasonable value for X, in my opinion.

Right but if you kill someone and stay living your heirs are not criminals either.

The reason you're remembering HTML 3.2 being nice is that you're remembering a period when people didn't try to do anything complicated. Using tables for layout had nothing to do with HTML 4 and everything to do with the web becoming more mainstream.

The shift that made HTML the mess it is today isn't technology but target audience and sponsorship. The early web was mostly hobbyists and academia, people who didn't care much about layout and were fine with just having a way to make something bold. The equivalent of people writing their blog posts in markdown these days.

I'm saying you're being nostalgic because you claim that there was a point when XHTML was about semantics and not presentation. That time never was. It's true that today it's easier to use HTML for presentation than back in the day, mostly thanks to CSS and the DOM, but what held HTML back initially wasn't technical.

That said, there were numerous progressions and many of them overlapped. Flash and Java applets were infinitely worse than the interactive blobs of web technologies we have today. Table layouts were followed by a second semantic renaissance led by the CSS Zen Garden (which for the first time really popularised the idea of separating markup and presentation).

The fact that they are Indians is totally irrelevant here but the fact that they are humans and deserve to be treated like one, is not.

Don't get me wrong, I am against people calling Peter names and I didn't participate in bashing him. I have followed his blog for a long time, I eagerly await his book recommendations and read them, I felt bad for him when he didn't get that Google job and felt happy for the success of Browserling, I own a copy of Perl One-Liners because I enjoy his technical posts.

I don't even expect Peter to relate to his customers to this extent, but I at-least expect him to treat them like humans. I felt that this article's tone lacked empathy for humans which was wrong and although Peter doesn't deserve to be called an asshole for that but he does deserve to be criticized for it.

There's no reason that inheriting wealth means you must also inherit crimes. Just because they are related concepts doesn't make them have to both be reasonable or unreasonable together.

Inheriting wealth is reasonable because gives people a(nother) reason to contribute to the world - to secure a place for their children in a potentially uncertain future. Parents who have spent a large portion of their life caring and provisioning for there children want to see that they have a level of security when gone.

Inheriting crime is unreasonable for, hopefully, obvious reasons.

Luckily, we don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
The giant iPad in Teslas is stupid as well, but at least it isn't directly in front of the driver's face - begging to become a distraction.

Legacy and providing for your offspring is a huge motivation for many people. It's interwoven through all aspects of our society. Why should it be ignored here? To say it's not a "strong" motivation for older people misses the mark, IMHO. It may not be a motivation for you (at this point in your life, or forever), but that doesn't mean it's not a significant factor.

Again, you're essentially saying that older people don't need as much incentive as younger people to create, which I don't necessarily agree with.

The fun thing is, everyone here is calling this a scam, and while its clearly not what the investors intended, being able to park crypto funds in a way that is indexed to a specific USD amount is a legitimate service that has value: see the idea (but not the execution) behind Tether.

If he had just come out and said 'give me Ethereum and I'll give it back in 6 months at the same USD exchange rate' there are a non-zero number of people who would have taken him up on that, maybe even paid for the service.
Max() is not a CPU instruction. It's an abstraction, a function that could be implemented either using a branch (which defeats the whole purpose) or, on some architectures, with something like cmovXX.

Perhaps they wanted a solution that works on Arm, which I think doesn't have cmovXX. Or maybe Intel does speculation with cmovXX used on array index.
I disagree with you. Labeling fallacies is shorthand for calling them out. When reading PR or news, I prefer to read a quick breakdown of the syllogisms BEFORE I go into technical details.

They're still being incentivized less, since they'll live fewer years and copyright is tied to their life. You'd need a fixed term - like the US had originally - to incentivize both equally.
Aren't we all freeloading HN btw :-)
Nope. They get 70 years from your death. Since 1976, copyright ticks from the date the work was created, not the date it was published. That's also why it changed from a fixed period (X years after publication) to life + so many years (X years after death of the author).

You're talking about a monumental lobbying effort against a vigilant public. That's not the sort of thing that can happen overnight, and the article dealt with the possibility of last-minute trickery.

The article makes some really good points. The political landscape really has changed since 1998. The content industry may still have more resources overall, but it's definitely going to get ugly if they try again. Hollywood does not want the public turning against them, that'll just make it worse.

Honestly I wish there were a way to compromise. Let companies pay for perpetual copyright. They want to hold onto Steamboat Willie forever, let them. Just don't drag everybody else with you. We just need to make it an economic decision for them, so that the public's interests are served eventually.

We want a thriving ecosystem in which apex predators like Disney and the caribou can thrive.
