NYC owns the Statue of Liberty - maybe they should sue the sculptor for copyright claims... a virtuous circle.

this is a source repo. the only relevant topic is the code. its free software so it honestly doesn't matter who the author is.
The fact that you cannot discharge student loan debt is what encourages risky loan behavior. I can say that I got myself into a terrible loan because I was told that the prospects of a career were far better than they were,unfortunately this information was significantly harder to find back in that time. I didn't even know community colleges existed and thought I'd have it paid off in no time. As it is, I don't know how long it will take me to pay off, but it's going to be years.

The Obama administration also sought out citizens for potential denaturalization when it was revealed that some of the fingerprint records they were naturalized under may have been faulty, or incorrectly held.

You should state your goals and timeline. There is a lot of deep stuff that can be ignored by many... Often there is a good 1st book, another for 2nd, for 3rd, and hopefully not many more after that.

It also depends what community you ask, engineers vs mathematicians vs actual statisticians. So the community you want to be a part of is the one you should ask. It is probably too much of a melting pot here to get one of these flavors.

In my past I’ve looked at courses I wanted to take, and then looked at the chain of prerequisites and books used there, hws assigned, and did those. Nothing beats talking to the teachers who you think are good. Alternatively you could have colleagues who you like, and whose history you want to emulate.

Having a specific goal is important. Egregious amounts of time can be spent in many corners of probability theory and statistics. Especially in the case that steps are taken in the wrong order. Trying to do Billingsley without first taking real analysis would be crazy. And maybe studying from Billingsley is crazy for most people’s goals to begin with.

That said, I’ve enjoyed reading the suggestions here.
Not to repeat myself, but this is similar to an action taken by the Obama administration.

I don't have some kind of incisive analysis. I just think the tech is interesting while the loudest cheerleaders come off as some mixture of scammy and cult-like. There are other things that I feel roughly the same way about; it seems to be a standard hazard of being on the cutting edge of R&D.
This assumes that they even knew this existed. I can tell you that my parents, nor I knew at the time, however the internet was a bit farther along by the time he went to school.

Some of you may have made liquid nitrogen ice cream... which is delicious. Even better is liquid argon ice cream, as the argon is heavier than air and gives the ice cream a frothy texture.
That seems like a reasonably likely outcome, but this is the first time I've seen a claim that it is the entire goal.

Do you have any pointers I could follow to evidence that this is a deliberate strategy like you are describing?
This is overkill. If you are asuming adblockers will remove anything with the id "adTeaser" (as per the code), just use that to display the message! No need for the "setTimeout" or even Javascript:

By checking out the "Projects" page, only the "Moonman Doom" mod for doom - a shitty mod that you see from 10 miles away that only 10yo at best would take seriously, assuming 10yo today know and care about Doom and modding - fits your description. Checking out 11 pages of projects (there is more but i got bored), everything else is the same stuff you'd find on GitHub: game engines, lisp implementations, web projects, games, etc and none fit your description (at least in their own description).

Guilt by association much? The only thing that speaks about someone's character and state of mind is their own actions, not the actions of others (and no, association is not an action).
Maybe we could get it "mostly" turnkey just for email, and charge $10/mo to fund 2-3 full-time devops to maintain and extend it.
This claim is equivalent to me selling asbestos soda bottles and claiming that "the only relevant material is the sugar water inside."

The last time I checked, I wasn't a court. I'm a private citizen who chooses to use projects and products based on a broad ethical code. One of the elements of that code is not supporting people who seem to be, at best, ambivalent towards associating with bigots.
Thanks for checking it out and for the feedback! Agreed on intro docs--that's a big reason it's "0.9.0" instead of "1.0". ;) "1.0", to me, is "the API is stable" (though the current API should be) and "it's documented to the best of my ability for novice users." The current userbase is a little more willing to dig, as it's mostly friends and colleagues, and that'll change as it moves towards 1.0.

I'll look into a JS-based example job; I have never found the translation particularly onerous, but horses for courses, I guess. I'm not switching between JS and TS in the documentation, though, save for the definition of a configuration file--it's pretty silly, IMO, to transpile a config file, especially when you get 99% of the way there through something like VSCode's IntelliSense. I didn't make clear enough the distinction, apparently, but I didn't expect it to be a stumbling block. Lessons learned.
Is there any clear line on what is considered a derivative and what is a copy without substantial deviation?
I feel i'm on Greendale
Doesn't imply that - in fact the opposite. It implies that the sculptor retained rights to imagery of the work.
I don't understand why so many tech-literate people have an issue with that. As I am sure you know, those devices only record your voice and send it to the server when they hear their hotword. The hotword detection has to be done on the device itself for technical reasons (battery and data usage).

Theoretically it's possible that the companies that build those devices lie and actually record you other times. But the same applies to any internet connected device that has a camera and/or microphone, such as pretty much every laptop and mobile phone.

As far as I know, no. It's usually up to a Judge to determine. Per this specific case, the USPS tried to argue something along those lines, but the plaintiff successfully claimed that because the statues face was feminized, it was not a copy, but a derivative.
The reason people see it as unfair is because the wealth in the United States goes disproportionately to the top. Of course they are going to be the ones paying they are the only ones left with anything of value and any real disposable income. The money they pay mostly goes to services that benefit themselves anyways. There's a reason that wealthier areas have nicer schools, better roads, always get plowed first. I mean come on if the top 10 percent are only paying 70% then they are underpaying based on the fact that they hold 77% of American wealth. Let's not get into the world.

You just might be wrong here, friend.
Based on your reply, I am fairly convinced you have already made up your mind so it is somewhat pointless to spend my time trying to convince you otherwise, but I will say a couple things.

For one, while our civilized world is built on trust and you may trust Banks, Governments, Tech companies etc, the majority of millennials do not trust Banks or Governments. Numbers outside the US are even lower. For more information about this I would recommend watching this presentation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGberGnxiJk

I believe money is something that you should be able to have full control and ownership of. Governments and banks can lock or seize accounts/funds for any reason. Banks can limit deposit/withdrawal/transfer amounts. I don’t think that right now this is a big problem, but in the future, imagine banks getting hacked and funds stolen or even a bank run. There are a lot of scenarios where I can see our financial system failing. If inflation rates increase then it will drive more people towards things like Gold and Bitcoin. Look at what has been going on in Venezuela.

As far as the electricity use, please consider taking a look at this article:

https://medium.com/@dergigi/bitcoins-energy-consumption-6dd7...

It also links to a couple of other sources that show how gold mining, paper currency/minting, and electricity used from the banking system all use orders of magnitude more electricity than Bitcoin mining does. If ultimately Bitcoin can replace banks or even gold, then it will have done the world a favor. Most miners also use renewable energy such as hydro and solar which would otherwise just go to waste.

Andreas Antonopoulos makes the argument that it will actually help the world come up with cheaper and more efficient power by allowing people to subsidize the costs by mining Bitcoin:

Good point.

I should have said--did the defense actually determine that the sculptor retained their copyright, given the work was commissioned by a casino.
Walt Disney Animation Studios Datasets
The designer of the Statue of Liberty, Frédéric Bartholdi, died in 1904. The copyright has long since expired. It's public domain.
It is surprising how much discomfort a badly-chosen font can create.

Also, their ads currently look rather intrusive. I wish them well in this "off the beaten path" endeavor. Maybe they'll try out other fonts and better ad placement strategies.
Amazon's 2018 Prime Day to Be Longest in Company History
Getty indemnifies to the tune of $1m per image but that probably has loopholes you could drive the Statue of Liberty through.
I also pay at restaurants because I want to. I don't watch ads because I don't want to. When I was a kid my family would flip through magazines and violently tear out the ads before bothering to sit down and read the articles. When watching television we would change the channel or mute the audio during commercial breaks on television (I don't even bother to download television shows with the advertisements edited out, because I've found product placement to be rampant.) Without calling for state violence to enforce your will on me, you will never stop me.

You seem to have a very dim view of me because I refuse to willingly subject myself to advertisements. Let me assure you, this feeling is mutual. I look down on people who choose to submit themselves to corporate propaganda. Sometimes when I'm visiting people I see them watch television and they stare at the commercials with rapt attention; it disgusts me.
In the article, the sculptor claims that he made the statue more feminine.
Have you seen the two faces side by side? https://tribzap2it.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/lady-liberty-...

I quite prefer the original myself. The post office made an aesthetic as well as legal mistake. The older Lady Liberty is not as pretty, but she's more handsome. She's less symmetrical, more craggy. Her face has seen more pain and made more hard choices. I get an impression of character that I don't get from Vegas Liberty.

My grandfather immigrated through Ellis Island around 1905. I imagine he passed that grand sculpture on the way, and saw a stronger, more concerned and committed face than Vegas Liberty's.
Great post.

The world is a chaotic place. Most advice articles reach out to some (biased) average from the sum of the author's experiences. Most people want the world to conform to what they're comfortable/familiar with.

The moment a person thinks they understand how a person works, is the moment they start projecting themselves (i.e. their experiences) into/onto their interactions.

Thus, communication is the only path to sharing mutual enlightenment with another person.
To the first degree, it is. The way people use containers is typically one binary starting up, which equates to one process in Linux. Sure, docker et al have overhead, but that's constant overhead, and much of the hard work is done in cgroups.

Twords the end they advocate taking responsibility for getting the kind of support you need which is key:

> Don’t make them guess. Don’t wait to see what they do. Tell them what you want.

> "Honey, I’d like to vent about something. I’m not looking for advice. Could you just hear me out and try to understand?”

> Or, “Honey, I’d like to talk to you about a problem. Could you give me some advice about what you think I could do?”

Often times couples will blame the other for "not being a good listener" or "not helping" but it usually starts with not being clear about what you're wanting the other person to do. When you set your partner up for success by telling them what you're going for, they can usually be more successful.
The problem wasn't that the facts you describe were accurate or not.

They did not censor the text for its truth or accuracy.

They raised the abstraction a bit and categorized it as "hate speech". And then they censored it for this reason that has nothing to do with historical truth or the level yourself analyzed the text.
That is ingenious. Considering that Mithras is a man, so a feminine version is easy to argue as substantially different.

The right to use that image. Not the right to create derivative from it. Also licensing depends on end-use and can vary depending on the degree of use — a small print run of 500 copies of an ad using an image often has a different license cost than using that same image for a national ad campaign.

Terms of licensing are super clear when you buy stock work. What makes no sense is why the post office would even bother — there are plenty of public domain photos of the statue. Or they could have just had a mailman go shoot one and pay him $1000.

This is just incompetence, there wasn’t any ambiguity to what they were doing. They admit they used an image for commercial gain without knowing they were infringing — that’s negligence. They used that image because they knew it would sell more stamps. Even a basic legal review would have caught this — this sort of clearance/rights due dilligence is standard stuff. This wasn’t editorial and thus “fair use” would’t apply — this was used specifically to sell stamps. They can’t argue parody, satire or any of the numerous cases that might constitute fair use.

The post office made $70 million in pure profit from their misappropriation, the original art that led to that profit ought to be compensated accordingly. Had even a baby lawyer been consulted, they could have avoided this mess. Being a government agency doesn’t exempt you from the law.
I see that this personal information, too, doesn't pay like what pioneers used to get paid ... in land, gold, animals.

Hi Craig, I'm sure you know that it only takes 1 or 2 Chinese Bitcoin mining pool CEOs to get more than 51% of the network's hash rate [0]. Mining hasn't been decentralized since 2013 unless your definition of "decentralized" is just "not 1 entity" and so "2 entities" qualifies as decentralized... how is that useful?

Well if the casino did own the copyright, the Post Office still had to pay up under the same exact law. A casino passing up $3.5 million? You bet they would have sued hard and probably would have won more.
That's a fair read, IMO. My contention is that by the time you've built something on top of Kue or Bull that feels good to a developer...you're probably going to have built most of TaskBotJS.
This is a good weapon against the "overfluxing" Internet advertisement. Appreciate it.
It doesn't have to be literally false to misinform, and informing the public is (in my opinion) the main point of journalism.
How erroneous/slanted does it have to be before we can assert fakeness?
I think it's fair to say that if I have a worse understanding of the world as a result of consuming news media then that constitutes "fake news".
If the building is a work of art, then depends who owns it's copyright, and what restrictions they have placed on commercial use.

But most likely it's not, so your image would almost meet the Fair Use standard. It's derivative.
Regarding the constraints, the article also makes a very important point: it's not all or nothing, you can have _some_ invariants and pre/post conditions easily.

I.e. size of arrays or "nonblankness" of strings, or balanced invoices.

The simple fact of thinking about the constraints, will help design code.
They did, but it was inconsistent [1]. Microsoft had the same problem [2]. In both cases, poorly-documented APIs meant many applications still used subpixel antialiasing.

My point is that nobody would nor should take that project any more seriously than the drawing of a teenager who is trying to be "edgy".

> The last time I checked, I wasn't a court. I'm a private citizen who chooses to use projects and products based on a broad ethical code.

Sure, you can act as you like as long as you understand that your freedom ends at the point where someone else's start. However this code of yours is not shared by everyone so you cannot expect people to not find it dodgy that you are making accusations about someone based on something they didn't do.

> One of the elements of that code is not supporting people who seem to be, at best, ambivalent towards associating with bigots.

It is your code, but to me that sounds like "you are either with us or you are against us" :-P.
