I have no idea how you did the gymnastics necessary to say that capitalist power structures that existed for decades before the USSR came into existence are modeled after it instead of the other way around.
There are two distinct questions at play. One is whether the tattoos are copyrightable. The second is what counts as fair use if the tattoos are copyrightable. Even if they decide tattoos are copyrightable, there might still be a ton of fair use categories to be decided on a case by case basis. I'd imagine that even if copyright applies to any of your examples, fair use is probably super broad in them.
It is, indeed.
That is not the same thing and not something I'm interested in.

Hey all! Excited to be sharing this project I've been working on for a few months now.

Byteconf is a developer conference series streamed online, for free, on Twitch - so anyone and everyone can attend.

Check out the stream today, and join our Discord to hear about future events and conferences. We just announced our next conference, Byteconf JavaScript, for March of next year!

Thanks, and happy to answer any questions here!

I find myself using !g, !a, !w, and !mw the most. I like that I can go directly to these services instead of a search page.
Privacy is cool and all but this is the main reason I use DDG. I use the ! constantly. It makes search so much faster and enjoyable. I can go straight to what I want.
Oh my god.. So you really think that a totalitarian control over what the country's population is allowed to view on the Internet is somehow a good thing and a way to stop brain drain? How come other countries manage to have their cultures flourish on the age of the Internet? I just can't see this kind of blocking bringing anything good for Russia..

How do you arrive at an acceptable secular morality, especially since science claims that it cannot speak to morality?
you can also do:

!site <domain> <search string>

ex:

!site news.ycombinator.com duckduckgo

equates to:

"... would require a domestic general corporation or foreign corporation that is a publicly held corporation, as defined, whose principal executive offices, according to the corporation’s SEC 10-K form, are located in California"

The IF/ELSE stuff is similar to the preprocessor macros people write in C. They basically generate HLASM code on the fly based on certain flags being passed to the program and what not.

If you're curious what a simple program ends up looking like, I've got one I wrote that copies the contents of one file into another file up on GitLab. Lots of loading registers and what not.

If it's a FAANG-type company, the stock has done well in the past 10 years so it's been a pretty good bet to make. Public tech companies have done well overall.

Realistically, what are the chances of Apple, Google, Microsoft or Facebook who are all circling $1 trillion to see the same types of returns over the next ten years?
> - code already tested by someone else - external dependencies

You test for whether the integration works correctly, for example if you use a library for computation you will test whether your function which uses the library is producing the expected result

> - code bureaucracy, which forms vast majority of the program - that is, including/injecting/managing dependencies, moving data around, jumping through and around abstraction layer; this I believe is untestable in principle, unless I'm willing to test code structure itself (technically doable for my Lisp projects...)

Here again you do some integration testing, for example when handling database operations, you can setup a test to load fake data in the database, run operations on this fake data and compare the results, and then purge the fake data.

> - the user interface, the other big part, which is also hilariously untestable, and rarely worth testing automatically, as any regression there will be immediately noticed and reported by real people

This sort of testing has become much more common for web apps and mobile apps, there are two things being tested one is whether the interface loads correctly under different conditions(device types, screen resolutions etc) this is tested by comparing the image for the 'correct' configuration with the test results, the other thing is whether the interface behaves correctly for certain test interactions - this is tested by automating a set of interactions using an automation suit and then checking whether the interface displays/ouputs the correct result.
I don't think mel brooks would want to make blazing saddles, as it was, today. It would carry a very different meaning than it did at the time.
It's not a good argument. Propaganda can always defeat morals, make people accept and do unspeakable things. Well, not all people, but still a lot of people.

Ever felt patriotic, proud of your country? That's how it starts.
I’ve been using DDG for about a year and find it works great. I never end up using google.

Are there particular types of searches you have trouble with?
One of the news reports I read said the Mapbox press release said their AI flags over 70,000 suspicious edits a day as needing human review. Doesn't sound like much of an AI, and also sounds like the reason they were weeks behind in getting that update in.
We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17884638 and marked it off-topic.

The root comment wasn't so bad because it reported personal experience, but the generic ideological bit is a virus. It leads—inevitably—to a generic ideological tangent. Those make boring, repetitive subthreads and so are off topic on HN.

Perhaps there are new and interesting things to be said in the classic ideological debates, but the internet message board is not a medium capable of that discussion. It bursts into flames instead.

Lots more explanation at https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... if anybody cares.
Do you think formation is all that's required in battle? That sounds like a very sunny-day scenario.
You can do this with Firefox for most searches. Just right click -> add keyword for this search.
I like bangs because they can be used from the address bar of any browser. That couldn't be done with checkboxes.
This is nonsense. LeBron has greatly improved his 3 point shooting over his career and in Miami he was able to develop a low post game.
It would be more efficient. If it was vim or emacs, you could rebind. I think it should be easy enough for ddg to make the special character customizable as set by a cookie.
Ask HN: What multi platform software companies are Linux first?
I was just curious if there were any companies out there that fit the description. I know most of the time consumer focused tools are aimed toward Windows then Mac then Linux (if at all) but I was curious if there were any examples that operate in reverse order?
It's terrible for scheduling conference calls. Instead of just converting timezones, you have to remember what a reasonable time of day is in each locality.

Or do you just expect Australia to adopt a nocturnal working pattern so they can use UTC?
> Just as important would be to require that boards have employees on them.

Why stop there? Boards should include people from all the company's suppliers as well. And also people who live in the neighborhoods that the company does business in. And some government officials, too, since they have a vested interest in the company's tax payments.

These types of resources are awesome though I've always wished that they at least briefly touched upon the x86 memory model/consistency. Understanding the concept of memory barriers should be considered fundamental.
I don't entirely understand how these sort of cases pass the scrutiny of the 5th amendment. The founding fathers made it very clear that you cannot imprison people until they agree to admit their guilt, but that is precisely what we're doing now a days. You, as in the alleged offender, are not obligated to prove your innocence - it is the burden of the state to prove your guilt.

If we're so quick to ignore the spirit of laws previously passed then it undermines the value of the law itself. What relevance is there of decision made today, if they might simply be ignored tomorrow?
why not -- Austin Powers has a sumo scene, and that's even less popular than baseball is.

> but then it means that the truck picking up the milk for the factory will arrive one hour later which creates issues with conserving the milk properly, so you basically have the problem at one point or an other.

Don't know where this comes from..!

The milk is (was at least when I grew up) supposed to ve cooled down to 4 degrees (Celcius, that is) ASAP. As long as that is done and you follow the recommendations for washing and disinfecting everything you should be fine even with half a day delay or more

Firefox lets you set up search shortcuts for any keyword, but the feature isn't very discoverable. (I just found out about it last week.) You right-click on the search field and select "Add a keyword for this search". Then when you do a search you just put your keyword before the search term, like "yt cat vs cucumber" to search YouTube.

Funnily enough, I think this technology would be better demoed by people doing more natural motions like walking around and doing basic gestures, or dancing in a style that is more fluid. This type of dancing is made to look intentionally "unnatural" (ie: you rarely see people moving like this in your daily life), which makes it a bit difficult to tell how much of the strangeness/unanny-ness comes from the dancing style vs imprecision in the algorithm.
You have to make the people love you. Then they will follow your good advice joyfully. In fact they'll follow your bad advice just as much, so be careful you don't get promoted to VP.
What is the typical window size for an Intel OOO decoder ?

I’ve been saying this for years: Linked In is a spies dream. A data gold mine.
As written (assuming the article is an accurate portrayal), the law is a blatent violation of the equal protection clause, as it provides a protection for women that it does not provide for men. A neutral requirement is not such a blatent violation. Although it still runs the risk of a disparite impact argurment and, perhaps more damming, seems to be in direct contradiction with federal (and likely state, but more specific wins there) anti discrimination laws. Or rather, compliance would involve violating other laws, at least in some cases.
I obviously don't know how they're actually doing it, but you can perform all kinds of analysis on traffic even when it's encrypted. You can look at the distribution of packet size, the time distribution of packets, you can analyze who is sending packets to whom. Traffic analysis like this has been a field of study since at least World War I. [0]

If you want to find Telegram traffic, you're probably looking at fairly small packets, often sent in bursts. If you're observing the sender and the receiver, you might be able to correlate the the outgoing messages from one user with the corresponding incoming messages of another user.

Of course, there are corresponding countermeasures Telegram could take: pad messages, combine messages, split messages, introduce random delays, distribute messages among a number of different endpoints. It's an endless game of cat and mouse.

I found it interesting that the espionage is largely aimed at the private sector and not the government:

> About 70 percent of China’s overall espionage is aimed at the U.S. private sector, rather than the government, said Joshua Skule, the head of the FBI’s intelligence division, which is charged with countering foreign espionage in the United States.

> “They are conducting economic espionage at a rate that is unparalleled in our history,” he said.
I must be too dumb to use this feature, because everything I enter, including the examples from the page, gives me "No Results Found". (Seems like it works from the main page, though.)
Wow, this IS truly incredible.

This reminds me of how many chess grandmasters can easily recall and recite and visualize every move in a game from years past. I think James deserves a little more credit than just being on par with chess GMs: to memorize something so complex as a basketball game without even attempting to commit it to memory speaks to his extraordinary intelligence.

Because for the current socio-economic market ideology, sustained happiness is a negative. It makes people consume less.

Short term happiness resulting from consumption that ensures a relapse and thus the need for more short term relief through further consumption is what the action side of our economy optimizes for. A furniture maker that produces quality tables that last for centuries will soon be bankrupt as he eats his own market. An IKEA that sells you a fashionable crap table that you want/need to replace real soon, either by induced need or low structural resilience quality, creates its own perpetual demand. That gives you an indication why despite major advances in manufacturing technology our physical goods now are so feeble when we could still make a decent washer that lasted for a lifetime just 50 years ago.

GDP is a fairly good indicator for the 'rent seeking economy' that rules our system, as it is more or less aligned with transaction sizes and volumes.
Ask HN: What are your expectations for engineering 1 on 1 meetings?
I'm new-ish to a management role and trying to figure out how 1:1, 360 reviews, annual reviews, and team dynamics should be working.

I'm currently doing something like: http://imperialwicket.com/a-truth-framework-for-engineering-1-on-1-meetings/

I wonder if this resonates for people and what I'm missing? I'd really appreciate insight from both sides (mgmt/lead and individual contributors) - what do you expect to get out of 1 on 1s and other mgr-ic interactions? Also, how jaded are your expectations compared to what you think could be achieved through these same interactions?
It's also important to note that fashion design is not eligible for copyright protection, despite the fact that a logo placed on a shirt is eligible. Would a hairstyle or makeup be considered as a product design, or a logo design?

Farmer here. Daylight savings time isn't for farmers. We aim to wake before daylight and that time changes daily. I always thought it was to give 9-5ers more daylight.
It's a good point. But I don't suggest removing them as I mentioned they are great for power users. I just think the functionality could be extended to users who are not used to text based interfaces like we are.
First-off, I think this is interesting because athletes have hit the point of diminishing returns on physical abilities, and now the games are turning mental in every sport. The NBA has done a great job at turning strategy into a spectator sport. In the NFL, the possibly single worst athlete in the quarterback position is the best ever. They are changing too. I’m not sure MLB can adapt. I wonder whether this doesn’t just pave the way for eSports to take over.
You must like "The Prince" then.
The law permits all female boards but does not permit all male boards. This is discrimination.
well, is it legal to do a "clean-room" implementation from the descriptions in the papers themselves, without looking at any provided code?

(this should almost always be feasible, and is commonly done for non-IP-related reasons e.g. someone might make a PyTorch version of something when the original version was done in Tensorflow.)

i'm not a lawyer but I would have assumed "probably", unless there's a patent. i mean, if it's not this would suggest it's illegal to attempt to replicate scientific experiments.

also, in many cases even for the code provided by the researchers there is an actual LICENSE file included, and it's often BSD or MIT. (Which sort of makes sense -- these two permissive free software licenses are named after the universities they came from. they reflect the academic CS culture around stuff like this.)
They do target the government workers as well. (Well I guess I should say other people do) People target those on linked in who have listed security clearances.
I’ve noticed a strong tendency toward eidetic memory in people that started in their professions without going to college. Very common in enlisted military, for instance. I think it might actually be quite natural. Education, I think, overloads a person with all of this useless stuff to make them ‘well-rounded’ and they lose their ability to focus on the details.
Do you mean like a list of checkboxes? Pressing "!" in the DDG search bar already brings up a list of bang codes for suggested sites with icons that you can click on, I think that's enough even for light users.
The world’s smartest solar solution – smartflower
I inherited a hilarious bad(ly written) legacy system.

One of the first things I did was turn on every possible "throw on error, die on error, assert" in development (could't do it production as it'd just fall over constantly).

The constant crashes in dev meant I rapidly fixed the low hanging fruit (undefined indexes etc) and then slowly as I cleaned an area up I'd leave the asserts in once in production since at that point what I'm asserting is "I think I fixed all the insanity but tell me straight away if my assumption was bad".

Painful very painful but those areas now cause me very few if any issues.
This might not be so bad, since the board of directors doesn't have a huge impact on the day to day, usually.

Does it require the members have voting rights?

Having driven a Smart car flat out at 96mph (as clocked by a police officer, thankfully got a warning and not a ticket) and having done over 200mph (not in a Bugatti, but in a comparably priced car) on a track, I agree, definitely will take the later for safety.
Normally I wouldn't be bothered, but in this case I saw people being misled into thinking Nvidia did this work. Given Nvidia publishes a lot at computer vision conferences, there's a higher than usual potential for confusion.
What problems arose?

I usually just run --citation once on a new system, and never see the notice again, and I have never had the notice cause any problems as it only shows if the output is to the screen.
, is a marketing fail over ! though. (apologies to Yahoo)
try !aca or !auk.

> Monopoly is defined by choice and not by the definition of the market.

No, monopoly absolutely depends on the definition of the market. If you define the market as "online human communication" Facebook doesn't have a monopoly. If you define the market as "online human communication with a feed that uses shades of blue and is owned by a Harvard dropout" then facebook has a monopoly.

> In terms of e.g. network lock-in facebook doesnt have an alternative.

Sure it does. You can talk to people, call people, send a letter, post a notice on a bulletin board, use an online forum, send an email, use an email group, post it on Google+ (it still exists), send a snap, dm on twitter, post on twitter, post on Hacker News, etc.

It entirely depends on how you define the market.
The climate is different but it highlights the district in daylight variance.
Regulation isn't the answer. Competition is the answer. So the question comes down to, is competition with YouTube possible? Or is Google a monopoly?
I switched back to google after more than a year using duckduckgo, the results were just not as good as Google.

However I'm still using the !bangs which are just an awesome feature, I higly recommend using http://www.duckduckgoog.com/ which provides bangs on top of google search.

To entertain the strongest interpretation of the idea, for purposes of understanding the reasoning:
consider a very large, very slow ship trailing a towed PV array not made of steel [1], additionally harnessing
sea-surface energy, and the extension/retraction of the tow cable [2, 2.5], made from non-corrosive plastic
or plastic-coated materials, that costs hypothetically nothing to maintain, but must be completely replaced every 10 years.

What are the specifications of such a system that it would generate sufficient power
to cost-effectively augment or replace internal combustion, and what would the viable
price-point for installation be considering costs of bunker fuel?
Other comments [3, 4, 5] added the kind of information that might help to answer that.
I am interested in sources, and discussion which isn't immediately dismissive of something unproven.

Put another way, how much would low-grade petro-fuels have to cost before this became a viable alternative,
and what sources support your conclusions?

No need to lie just to make a point. Firefox does not "compromise the privacy of their users" by using google.com as default search engine. You're going to have write quite the detailed explanation if you want to make that case and make a credible claim at the same time.

I think your average is likely very low. Many of the parts are expensive and offset the ones under $0.30 by a large margin.
