> The article claims that they're doing it to protect themselves from future lawsuits, not as "revenge":

Then the article is disingenuous, because the same copyright period and liabilities exist in most EU countries.

Singling out Germany because a German company was first to sue is pure revenge.

If they wanted to protect themselves, they would block the whole EU and a whole lot of countries outside the EU, not just Germany.
Nicely done Mitch, I enjoyed that! :)
> What social media has done is ensure you hear more from groups that previously didn’t get a voice

There's a lot of truth here. Same goes for the perception that social media has made us "dumb" -- it's just that now we're hearing from a lot of people who simply did not have a public voice before.

That said, I think instant access to social media is eroding our impulse control abilities. We're able to act our emotions before they have a had a chance to simmer down. Maybe a lot of the outrage we're hearing is heat-of-the-moment comments that the commenters don't hold as long term views?
It's clearly marked with «J».
I do, but it's a lot easier to pick from a non-empty set. Just because they're initially attracted by superficial things (and probably subconsciously) doesn't make them bad people, any more than I'm a bad person for noticing a woman's chest size before learning about her values.

Yes, storing everything in cents and format a decimal separator (which is a localization mess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator ) before any output is one option.

That works fine for addition and subtraction. When you divide (or do percent calculations) integer cents is no longer, you need to deal with rounding manually/some custom class with every calculation.
You can't disagree with a dictionary. Or can you? Maybe thats what I'm missing.
> If anyone here is in Germany, I'd like to ask you: what will it take for you to stop driving?

You asked this question on HN, which probably has a youger than median audience, which tends to value computers over cars and tends to work in tech related industries, living in cities. These answer are not representative of Germany in any way.
Compare the two times the author came to the US, the first time, pennyless, to a distant unknown country in a "yolo" endeavour, the second with financial security to a known entity. I suspect you experience, like mine, is closer to the second, but the two are so different they barely deserve to be known by the same word.
As a simple demo of this, running 'gimp' as a 'guest' user allows you to take screenshots of windows owned by the user who started the session. Thus, a compromised copy of firefox on the 'guest' account could, for example, easily capture the contents of any window on the system.

Still, the main reason I run the browser as a different user is to isolate it for privacy; there are some security benefits too, but I agree it's not something that would defeat a targetted attack.
I was in Civil Azov for a week. I saw no Nazi in Azov regiment. It's pure military unit.

This has got to be very slow, both in hardware and software implementations, compared to IEEE packed decimal float.

Addition and subtraction on anything other than matched exponents is going to need rounds of multiplication-by-10, however you implement it. Using IEEE-754 packed decimal, you only need a handful of gates per digit to unpack into BCD.
Isn't IPFS peer to peer? Then it would be no different than using Torrent clients. Users would be just noticed or sued individually.

Cordola Fine's Delusions of Gender is an excellent counter to Pinker's naturalist essentialism.

Pinker tends to lean to the side of nature rather than nuture in debate around gender influence. The article assumes the readers believe the same. Perhaps Pinker's prior research justifies this language. But after reading Cordola Fine's works, which I think definitely throws salt on nature assumptions, id call assuming this language are held by most to be very bold of Pinker.

I know the difference - but when a pattern of similar weather is noticed in the past 5-10 years, it's more than just weather, I believe it's climate.

To be fair, isn't that required though to operate a website? If you want to use a CDN, you will need to 'pass user data' to a 3rd party. You'll need to state that down in your terms and conditions.

The worst they can be accused of is not being explicit enough about what 3rd parties and why they need to do that.
9 Fellowships every data scientist should know
They are appealing the decision.
They said they have jurisdiction because the contents is directed (also) to users in Germany. They said nothing about exclusive jurisdiction or exclusively directed to Germany. They also ruled that access to the average user in Germany must not be easy (acknowledging that the user decided to download can circumvent it.) There was not a word about making the contents available to users in any other country.

In the context of existing copyright laws the ruling is understandable. It's just plain nonsense to have contradicting copyright laws in the age of a global internet. And if you say that copyright should only be enforced according to the country of the distributor then you just move all contents to a country that does not enforce at all. But isn't it just the US that complains a lot about (their) IP not enforced in China or Vietnam?

I worked for one of the supplier you mentionned. The SW really has a huge place in the company and enjoy a good recognition. It has its own method of development and is SW focused.
The only drawback are the methodologies which are not agile and flexible, but on the other side this is due to recall costs being so prohibitively expensive if a million cars need to be reflashed due to a SW bug.

Ask HN: Laptop equivalent of the new Nokia 8110 4G
Hi guys,

I'm really getting excited over the new Nokia 8110 4G and plan to buy it as soon as it is released.
I was wondering if there were some laptops out there that offer the same feeling of minimalism: cheap screen, huge battery life, lightweight Unix OS (Linux / BSD), good connectivity (bluetooth, wifi at least g, USB 3.0, maybe ethernet support if the laptop is not thin), unbreakable like a thinkpad, cheap, maybe no trackpad.
I don't care about YouTube videos, Netflix or gaming, I just would like a lightweight device for basic internet browsing (HN, github, reading pdfs), mails, and coding with a text editor, a compiler and a ssh terminal. 8GB RAM would be awesome to use chrome and an IDE / Atom but 4GB would be OK for Firefox and vim / emacs / sublime.

I saw the GPD pocket, it is a bit overpriced (maybe because of the touchscreen and the size) and uncomfortable to use because it is too tiny. Plus I don't like touchscreens for laptops.

Do you have any ideas?
May be somebody could recommend same list about Rust?
You’ve got that right! I built this as a knee-jerk reaction to vim-anywhere. XD
Sure, but that's just regular old cryptographic signatures + a web of trust. A blockchain doesn't help at all to prove who someone is.

... or strong. not advocating for that of course, but that’s a little simplistic
I didn't claim that computer scientists are not allowed to call themselves engineers. I even said that the title software engineer is on the rise.

What I said and what I stand by is that in my experience the typical German automotive middle manager still has the words Dipl.-Ing. on his degree certificate and looks down on anyone who hasn't, including computer scientists.

And just to make clear where I am coming from, making all this claims: I do have a degree certificate with words Dipl.-Ing. on it and another one with the words Master and Informatics on it, so I know a bit of both worlds.

When it comes to the IngG, even there it is not as clearly cut as it seems. The whole history of it is interesting but too involved for a short comment, so I will focus on the wording of the law:

The law is very specific about the fact that it permits the title "Ingenieur" only to graduates of technical or natural scientific fields. Computer science, like mathematics, is considered a formal science which is neither technical nor a natural science.

No. But we could compare against our individual cultural alignments and use that. And we can call it whatever we want.
There is another long story on this subject, focused on the MIT 'gang' which suggests they'd worked out some very advanced math to identify specific sets of numbers that would most efficiently span the payoff space. So the MIT people probably had better results than the Indiana gang's purely random ticket selections.

Especially how this relates to the tendency towards Turing completeness.

I've heard it said that every language is 'doomed' to creep towards being turing complete. This is 'doom' because turing completeness entails suffering from the halting problem.
I know that there's an extremely small chance that the author will see this but ... thanks for coming. The current political climate seems to forget, if you go back far enough in everyone's ancestry, everyone here is from an immigrant family. We're richer for that diversity and, in my opinion, if we stop the flow of immigrants, then we'll stagnate.

Absolutely. Social media may be new, but coopting or even creating "outrage" as a weapon to further a specific political agenda is nothing new. The Chinese cultural revolution with its hysterical Red Guards comes to mind (as a particularly harsh episode).

As far as real world autonomous vehicles go Germany is in the front of the pack.

For industrial uses (e.g. mining) the likes of Bosch Automation are world leaders.

Audi has just release the worlds first L4 consumer car.

If anything who is currently falling behind in the autonomous vehicle industry is the likes of Tesla that promised the world on hardware that could never achieve that and still thinks it can achieve L4/5 all conditions driver with a single sensor on hardware that is designed to for limited L3 functionality.
> Linear, word based thinking is not the best for everyone, and for those averse to it, there's APL.

Proceed directly to the front lines.
If German courts maintains that making content available in Germany (ie, putting it on the Internet) gives them jurisdiction over your organisation, your choices are to be compliant with German law, or not to be available in Germany. PGLAF does not have the budget, nor the philosophical inclination to be compliant with German law, so that leaves one option. As you quoted in your GP, they have no reason to believe this will end with these 18 works, so the alternative really is compliance, not just blocking 18 works.

I'm sure PGLAF will welcome a German spin-off that makes works available in a manner compliant with German law, they just don't have the resources to be that place.

(Oh, and so what if they retaliated? Seems like a perfectly reasonable excuse for a bit of theatrics.)
Money quote: “a construction company run by his family withheld pay from thousands of immigrant workers, and then abandoned them without food, water or electricity in labour camps.”
Of course, but it’s not like the Germans are behind the others – highway driving was something these companies did a decade ago, Tesla is only doing it now, and only Waymo is further than that (and Waymo still only does cities without weather, or pedestrians)

The Linux users/developers ecosystem is dominated by techies who mostly find the typical Android/iOS user interface inadequate; very far from the normal phone/tablet user: we love to use the shell to get things done or spend time customizing the system here and there, therefore the lesser incentive to have a finger oriented interface. Most people looking for native Linux handhelds probably either don't need/like that interface, or adapt better to its absence.
I agree that the typical Joe User wouldn't find Linux appealing for that reason, anyway Gnome 3 attempts to fill the gap and it's usable even on my old Atom netbook. I then switched back to Xfce, but if I had a Linux tablet that would be the choice.

Here are two comments on r/askhistorians saying water was one of the reasons [1], along with natural resources in general [2].

Of course that's not the only reason; other answers make clear there were a lot of factors. Now though, Tibetan water is a huge issue, including for other countries downstream of Tibet including India and Pakistan [3]. There are no water treaties between these countries; China has been building a lot of dams and is planning a massive 600-mile pipeline to divert Tibetan water that would otherwise go to India [4].

Tibet is the third largest repository of fresh water after the two poles [5].
