If two photographers shoot the same millisecond in time, who owns the copyright?

In this example, there were discernible differences, but what if the differences were below our level (or care) to discern them?
"While you've presented a compelling counter-argument, I'm still not convinced."

It was far more compelling that your argument.

"You didn't need to because they never stored "your data"."

Yes, they did. My social security number, my address history, my employment history, all my data.
I don't actually have a problem with that as a solution to using a stronger ID. I still think it would need to be coupled with an additional security token or key on the passport side to complete the security, but that's a relatively simple change versus implementing a new ID system from scratch.

Although I don't think they're trying to pass the cost to the government. By calling it "identity theft" instead of what it is, fraud, they're trying to pass the cost of fraud to the consumer.
But the coincidence that makes it to the top of HN is when the poker guy wins his third WS using the exact same hand. (At this point he played the hand entirely out of superstition at a negative EV but got insanely lucky. He will eventually lose all his winnings playing that hand again and again for the rest of his life. But they’ll name the hand after him, so maybe it will all have been worth it.)
Context: a knightship is a glider (a structure that translates itself across the Life grid periodically) which moves 2 horizontal units for each 1 vertical unit (or vice-versa if rotated). This is in contrast to e.g. the most popular 3x3 glider which moves diagonally (1 for 1). A knightship is a type of oblique glider - one that doesn't move orthogonally (only horizontal/vertical) or 45º diagonally.

What makes this an elementary knightship is that it isn't built out of smaller discrete components, unlike (for example) the oblique glider Waterbear (http://conwaylife.com/wiki/Waterbear). It's the first elementary oblique glider discovered.

It also happens to move exactly 2 vertical units for each 1 horizontal unit of motion, and carries this out in 6 time-steps (the theoretical minimum). Thus, in some sense it has the simplest movement of any possible knightship.

Same millisecond? Prove it... I would buy same 10ms. If two cameras with frame rates of about 8frames/sec were shooting at random, the probability that they are in the same millisecond is very low, like 1.5% or so. If they were in the same 10ms interval... more like 14.5%! Actually not that low, and the apparent difference in the waves might not actually be significant in 10ms (supposing the water was at it's maximum height 10ms^2*9.8m/s2=>less than a mm of movement!). Suppose that within a cm the photographs look the same, then this implies a time interval (at max water height) of 31ms. Over 31ms given the snapshot intervals there is about 38% chance of the photos being of the same 'moment'.
It's kind of amusing that in the 3D model the lightning bolt's shadow is visible, as if it were an obstruction rather than a light source.

I made no such claim. I was just providing a legitimate business reason for going the Electron route.
Ndb is pretty stable if your workload is stable. Most HLRs at network operators around the world run NDB 24x7, so it is the go-to HA OLTP real-time DB. If, however, you start overloading it, it can be temperamental. So, don't treat it like innodb and do full table scans while expecting millisecond PK lookups.
I can't really comment on running Aerospike in production, because i haven't done it - just run experiments with it.

With docker you can run a different operating system and version of the app dependencies for each application (and each container can have different configuration and environment), and you can run it locally on your computer. Aws Lambda is extremely limited compared to that, no?
Handing over AMP would prevent the standards committee from making backward-incompatible changes to please other participants. It seems better to start fresh and have a compatibility break? Not to mention that there's little point in preserving a name that's pretty controversial.

And in the meantime, AMP would still need to be maintained.

We've seen this before in less controversial areas. For example, SPDY was proprietary and HTTP/2 is a standard that entirely replaced it.

I'm wary of AMP4Email as well, but the process of doing something quick and dirty and then standardizing the 2.0 version (under a different name) is pretty common.

Not OP, but I believe he means the following:

As a small company/startup, right now, you design, make, and sell a product. It may just be you or a small team. The design of your product may be complicated, but the usability from the user perspective may be simple AND FOOLPROOF. There are no other considerations generally other than the product works, and people like it and my margins are good.

With more regulation, like requiring the right to repair, the task above just became a lot more difficult. You now have to design a product that can be repairable, which can be more expensive from your design/production side. You have to make sure there is documentation to go with that for consumers to repair every aspect of your product, an incredible amount of time. And then you have to have a way to "rescue" a user if they really screw up the product and "brick" in in a sense. This will add to the total cost and the time it takes to go to market and/or iterate on the product. Small companies in many ways, can't afford this. not to mention being in compliance of the regulations and the additional cost/time that will take.

On the other hand, a larger company will have no issue complying with these regulations as far as documentation, user support, return and fix issues, etc. Making sure consumers have the tools available to "repair" the products as well. Because larger companies have economies of scale, both with supplies, manufacturing, and labor costs, it is much less of a burden for them than a small company barely trying to survive.
I hear about this often, and it happened to my sister's Macbook as well (to the point it was obviously deformed and they tried to tell her she dropped it).

Is this a case of people being more likely to complain about it because Macbooks are generally much more expensive than other laptops, or does Apple really have a battery problem with these devices?

The plan is for Rocket to run on stable by the end of 2018. v0.4 is getting closer and the two biggest features remaining to be implemented for it are connection pooling (which I have an open PR that's being worked on) and CSRF support.

Netflix style. Maybe give donors the option to vote on features. I am interested in testing if there is a market for this. I've started writing clone android apps without the ads and freemium.
> Are you really suggesting that just because you live and work in your local (scenic) rural community you couldn't possibly enjoy the surroundings just as much, if not more, than as a few fleeting transient warm bodies with suitcases could?

There's got to be diminishing returns on beautiful surroundings, surely - seeing a mountain for the hundredth or thousandth time can't compete with seeing it for the first time. So better to give dozens of people a chance to see it once than have a few people see it over and over again. (Or if someone really does want to see it over and over again, they can pay what it costs).

> Also, and ultimately, it's the local permanent residents that sustain, year round, the two pub/restaurants, the village shop and the assortment of plumber, electrician, carpenters (all of which also provide substantial local employment), not infrequent visitors occupying holiday homes that lie empty for 50% or more of the year.

Well if tourists are able to pay more for housing than permanent residents then they're probably also going to be spending more on meals out, more likely to want upgraded plumbing or electrics (or damage those in an unfamiliar house).... But assuming you're right, employment is a means to an end, not a goal in itself. If someone has their heart set on a career as a chef or shopkeeper or plumber or electrician or carpenter, good for them, but that doesn't mean they're entitled to do that job in a particularly picturesque place.
A complete opposite of the linked article is this article I have saved because I found it well-written and sort of amusing: https://medium.com/s/story/how-to-be-polite-9bf1e69e888c

As someone who is a oxytocin junkie, getting old and living a life where no one is touching me, partly because they want to be polite, sounds like a total nightmare. I hope a cat will be enough and that I'm allowed to have a cat. Without touching I slowly become bitter and dead inside. I go to the gym and try to live healthy so I can be independent till I drop.

Years ago I read an article about "skin hunger" and found it described me. The barber I went to to fix my hair spent some extra minutes massaging my scalp. Goosebumps all over my body. Then I started to go to massages. And from there things have escalated. :)

I've now been getting lessons how to massage and also have discovered I enjoy soft touching more than massage unless I'm in pain. I specifically searched for touching massages and met a wonderful older lady that talked about meditation and touching.

It's a fantastic feeling to use all the senses. First just barely touch the hair on the body, then barely touch the skin. Slowly increase the pressure and the amount of touch. And when it's time for oil, the oil is warm and almost hot. The feeling of getting warm oil dropped onto the body is amazing. Every time a sense is starting to get "blunt", you change pressure, amount of surface and temperature.

After those sessions I'm often high as if drugged.

There are many reasons why rental and house price can diverge.

Well, there's a reason the Maytag man is the loneliest repairman. ;)
I don't think so. I believe it would fail quite a few of Jespen's tests, as it is a real-time DB. Typically, you set the transaction deadlock detection timeout to be a couple of seconds. Jepsen thinks transactions can take minutes to complete, and it's ok - the messages are just late.
In fact, in NDB, most people think 2PC is a blocking protocol, but it isn't in NDB. If the Transaction Coordinator (TC) fails, there is a quick leader election protocol and a new one takes over failed TCs. Participant failures cause blocking - but only a few seconds (the configured deadlock detection timeout). So, it's behaviour is similar to abortable consensus (aka Paxos), if automatically retry failed transactions.
Probably for the same reason they don't give me unfettered access to my credit report without cost to me. They don't care, and it doesn't help them make money.

If it's anything like the Massachusetts law, this isn't a requirement to produce goods that are easily repairable. Per Wikipedia (and the wording in the OP seems similar) "The Right to Repair proposal was to require vehicle owners and independent repair facilities in Massachusetts to have access to the same vehicle diagnostic and repair information made available to the manufacturers’ Massachusetts dealers and authorized repair facilities."

In other words, the manufacturer can't hold back information but there's no requirement to change designs so that your laptop is easy to take apart and repair.
This really depends on how you define automation. CI on GitHub depends on webhooks which is an officially supported part of the API. So there isn't anything unsolicited happening.

I just don't think there's any meaningful claim that CI explicitly configured by maintainers using officially supported channels should be lumped in the same category as automated scraping of repositories for creating PRs.

Sure, there are many definitions of automation that would include both of these things, but I think it's obvious what GitHub intends in practice.

I started work on react-charts last year, but became distracted with other OSS projects. I plan on revisiting this ecosystem very soon. In my experience with all of the libraries mentioned in this thread, some of them came close to feeling like they belong in the react ecosystem, but a lot of them missed the point on the "why" of react, usually by becoming too non-declarative, relying on other libs for DOM manipulation, or not striking the right balance between configuration and modularization. Maybe someday we'll have a great library that feels just as good to use as react itself. I hope that day comes soon.
MTCH gives exposure to Tinder???
No it’s actually really Simple to test if an SSN (a) has been issued and (b) is not deceased (had to do it in s project about 20 years ago, there is a file of highest issued numbers and a file of deceased SSNs)

So they can verify it. Apparently they don’t which somehow doesn’t surprise me at all
Have you seen the comments on HN whenever H1B changes news are on?

Its pretty anti-immigrant. Everyone is progressive with other people's pockets.
Edge cases can be addressed. Still issue the passport, but put a travel hold on it. This allows for the identifier to still be generated and managed.

EDIT: After coffee, I'm even more convinced this is a good idea. Better to issue the passport and have the identifier of who you don't want to travel vs not issuing it and then losing that person in the noise....because of not having a national ID card system.
Anything implemented for &str is automatically implemented for String, because String implements Deref<Target=str>.

Most useful "String" methods are actually &str methods that you get access to through that deref trait.

Dereferencing a String doesn't return a raw pointer, I'm not sure where you got that idea.

Google is not replacing AMP, or promoting the standards group to replace AMP. Google is using things like web packaging with AMP, and intends to continue to do so. Their statements today, if anything, state a clear intent to continue to invest in and build on AMP.

So, while all of these other components are going to be going to standards orgs, why not let them also have AMP? (A standards org is never beholden to keep an existing standard, they can always make a new one.)
12 Ruby Conferences You Should Attend in Spring 2018
I specifically paid more for Whirlpool laundry appliances recently (over Samsung or LG) for this exact reason. I know that spare parts are available online and even locally, and many of the repairs are things I can even do myself (as I did with my previous Whirlpool top loader).
The thing about language popularity is mostly about its ecosystem -- libraries, teachers, friends, and corporations behind them. However, all ecosystem are transient in nature, and all code that interwines and depends on a ecosystem will go with it in time. I guess that is why as I get older, I find myself more attracted to classical languages that do not have much ecosystem anymore. It makes my code to feel less mortal in a sense.
Yes. As a psych major in college, I was astonished to find that the same major included, say, quantifying the changes in neurons in rat brains after rats were exposed to specific stimuli, and empirically unmoored speculation about supposed universal desires to have sex with one's mother.
Any early feedback? :)
IIRC BBC has long had some pretty great in-house developers as a rule. It sounds like it was more of a joint project. IE, BBC wanted to do the project and recruited a partner to help see it through quickly enough. That's how it appears to me, anyway.

But if you get a chance to try it, do! I will warn you though—the first time through is a bit intense. I was new to the platform and had to take the headset off for a few minutes mid-game. After trying it again I found my legs.

Also, it might seem counter-intuitive, but I've found alcohol helps desensitize oneself to the experience.

But when it comes to kids/education, etc. Just be careful. I've invited others to try out some of the more intense experiences and I've even had people get mad at me for it.
I know that always looking for the most recent/hyped technology is not a good thing and there is a lot of legacy code out there, but I also know that a lot of people started using Kotlin after Google announced official Android support, so if a language rating fails to capture this, then it's not a good ranking in my opinion.

It has gotten much easier to wage record-breaking DDoSes
Yep, this is one situation where it's actually reasonable. The fact that they both used automatic triggering, and that took a lot of pictures over the period of the thunderstorm make it realistic. I personally don't believe the man in the article. It's easy to make a second account to pretend to be a different photographer (or have a friend pretend), and equally easy to set up 2 cameras to a trigger. There's a lot of competition in photography now days, so I would not be surprised to discover yet another publicity stunt.

If a genetic algorithm were used to search it seems like the fitness function is obvious (it moves across for ever two moves up using a minimum number of iterations), but the mating function is not obvious. So I'm wondering if it's a brute force sort of search.

One of my closest friends at MIT scored a 36 ACT and a 2320 SAT, but performed extremely poorly from his freshman year, and dropped out as a junior. These tests do nothing to judge habit, persistence, course mapping, self-study, the ability to reach out to professors and TAs for help, or several other factors that turn out to be heavily related to college success.

They're just exams.
