I don't think that the distinction between art and technology stands up to scrutiny. Both are iterative creative processes, and we want to empower future generations of both artists and technologists to build their ideas in a way that advances the current stack. Allowing art to be balkanized with excessive copyright hurts cultural development. And we depend on culture to shape everything, including our current environment that fosters technical innovation.
18 Android Interview Questions to Ask an App Developer – Codementor Blog
Are we? I was responding to a claim that property owners should have absolute rights to build whatever they please on their property. Nobody builds big smoke stacks in the middle of major cities anymore but you could refer to some 19th-Century writing about London to see how that could be bad as well. Or you could read about the time the Thames stank so bad Parliament all had to leave and was finally compelled to do something about waterway pollution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Stink

In short there are a lot of reasons to want to regulate what people build.
You can't rest fingers on this touch keyboard the same way you can on phisical keyboard (laying hand on a keys without enogh force to push the keys).

I think most (but not all) fields would find a traditional union too limiting and frustrating these days, not to mention the issues with corruption they are plagued with in the US. A flexible and modern hybrid with a guild type system, more like a framework than a prescriptive structure, could get a lot of people on board.

Your comment is a verbose version of "I exploit economically, socially and politically depressed and/or oppressive environments to find workers who won't demand much for fear of losing a job" with some extra (mostly subjective or false) decoration around it.
Top-town authoritarianism has a major flaw: when the Supreme Leader errs and formulates a dangerous order the whole organisation may be in jeopardy.

Coordination doesn't imply regulation, conventions (which doesn't imply any chief/judge) are sufficient.

Top-town authoritarianism is IMHO worse than decentralization.

People don't usually make a living by building houses for themselves and their family.

Lazy child C's dad worked at a factory making drills as a salaried employee. After he retired/died, the lazy child had to get over their laziness to make a living.

Why doesn't the factory have to keep paying the dad's wage to his family for decades after he died?
Let's say "a dad who wielded a hammer" is a dad who builds and sells furniture.

Are his children entitled to every piece of furniture this "dad who wielded a hammer" ever built? As it was already mentioned "The dad who wields a pencil" can just as easily buy a house and leave it to his children.

The problem with immaterial things is that they can be trivially copied. In this sense copyright law is more akin to patents: you get protection and possiblity to profit off of your immaterial work.
This is called free surface effect with liquids and as has been mentioned by other posts is a common and known problem with liquids. Free surface effect is a core component of vessel stability and is part of maritime stability education.
It's not free though. If you can actually remove most of the power/area hungry ooo scheduling logic for only 10% less performance on real world workload, you can pack a lot more cores or a bigger GPU on the same chip without blowing up TDP or die size.

Sure, some use case will always require the highest single thread perf at all cost but that's less and less true these days.

I assumed the word new in that usage referred to it being newly taken from the ground, thus having more unpredictable moisture content. Bauxite is basically just dirt.
They are also saying that each country then can choose if they want to keep winter or summer time... That's going to be chaotic!

I have a Yoga P40. It's a great machine. The CPU, RAM, and SSD are very fast: I can compile heavy stuff in a blink. The HDPI display is gorgeous: I can open it 180° or 360° and sketch or paint on it with an active pen. The keyboard is not bad. It's not mechanical, but it doesn't tire my hands as others do.

But the one thing that drives me nuts is the buttonless trackpad. This thing is utterly unusable. I've been trying everything: pushing it down with the finger that's doing the tracking; using another hand to use the trackpoint buttons; using the trackpoint itself... it's no use. Clicking on the odd link is ok, but doing any precision selecting, dragging or drawing is useless.

I used to be able to draw freehand with a good trackpad and a separate button under it. Now I struggle to drag a file over the right folder.

In hindsight, I should have bought an older model with actual buttons. This huge disadvantage trumps all the other benefits.
Humans already don't plan their day strictly around sunlight. Otherwise we wouldn't go to bed at 10pm and get up at 6am (or even later) but rather go to bed at 8pm and get up at 4am.

> I can't see any reason to deny an author copyright during his or her lifetime. They wrote it. The public has no intrinsic right to take their stuff.

So long as an author does not share their work with anyone, they can have complete control over it for as long as they want. As soon as they they share it with somebody, enforcing copyright means that somebody is being restricted from the natural human instinct of retelling a story. Copyright is not property to be had by the author. Copyright is a restriction on everybody else, granted in exchange for releasing the work in the first place.

Copyright is a balance between rewarding the author, minimal restrictions on society, and progress of the arts. Unlimited copyright fails the latter two goals entirely.

>Of course now most people are very comfortable typing on a touchscreen phone keyboard.

Comfortable enough, yeah. But I really don't think the comparison is apt.
Phone usage != laptop usage. I don't think you will find more than a handful of people comfortable with the idea of writing, say, a term paper on their iPhone/iPad/Surface/etc. touch keyboard. And those have been around for a long time.
Oh, I thought there might still be some high end EE stuff.

Thanks for the clarification.
That is not additional information. That bug was created by the authors of this post, and the link is a reference to the exact paper linked to in this post.
It's costly and unnecessary if you can ensure that the cargo behaves as a solid. There's also the issue that once behaving as a liquid, it can then seize to do that, and remain in a slumped state.
Welcome to the DMCA. It's as broken as copyright and causing quite serious stifling of young creators. It sometimes feels like it's used more for evil than for its legitimate purpose.
is there any filesystem that does not enable spaces in filenames? I find the idea ridiculous. Would you design a programming language that allowed spaces in its variable names? Because that is the same level of atrocity.
> Also decorators are only for classes? Why does that make any sense?

The generally thought is that you technically only need them for classes (and really, only for class members and properties). For anything else you can just use a higher order function. Not as pretty, but JS decorator arent about syntax sugar, they're about filling one of the bazillion gaps in the language that opens when you introduce a class keyword.

Of course, the spec for decorator has been thrown away and started over once already (so basically no one using typescript/angular/mobx/whatever with decorators are actually spec compliant these days), and the new spec has been in limbo for years. Decorators aren't part of JS at all right now.
> Skimming, that paper says there's no support for it, rather than there being evidence to falsify the idea that different people learn better in different ways.

Yes. That's the phrasing you get when researchers mean "As far as we can tell it's bullshit". Generally coupled with data that shows them looking for effects and finding zilch - which is the negative evidence you're looking for.

Do you think there's something lacking here?
> Isn't this universally true and not based on location at all? I'm a bit confused by this point TBH.

I think what is universally true is that the ladies will go for the highest ranking guys they can get. What seems to be happening there is that gender imbalance accentuates the effect by raising the bar higher than it otherwise would be.

I thought that, but those thoughts are invalidated by the few memories I do have of being extremely productive, completing that project or task and feeling wonderful as a result.

No, for me, I spent about a year reading books about adult ADHD. After getting a couple of opinions, it appears that I am. However, I didn't fully believe it until I got to talking to other ADHD adults, and I recognized some of the quirky, fidgety, talking over others things that I always tend to do and I was like "yup."

However I don't like how the stimulants make me feel and I already am a heavy coffee drinker, so I am experimenting other ways I can cope: earplugs and headphones with white noise, blocking visual distractions, letting my manager know of my condition (big positive, at least for me), and I am now experimenting cutting sugar completely out of my diet.
What about an inflatable airbag that rests on top of the cargo? That could keep the cargo from shifting and would be very quick to setup at the end of loading the ship, as there would be no messing with plates or tie downs.
Indeed, but there's nothing in the institutions that should prevent anything from going fast when planets align, and that one looks like a no brainer.

They consulted at the request of the Parliament. Junker took note of the unusual popularity of the consultation and the strength of the consensus. Northern countries (Finland, Baltic countries) have been calling for it for years.

More cynically, it's unusual enough for the Commission to have a popular topic on their plate. So better get media attention for that, than for sulfurous topics like the migration crisis or boring ones like the EU's multi-annual budget.
> The big hedge funds pay big dollars for direct lines of data from the credit card companies.

Not just hedge funds. All finance institutions buy ( "share" ) data from and with each other. Even if you "opt out" ( we should be defaulted to opt-in rather than having to opt out but that's another discussion ), banks have a sneaky trick of slightly changing your ToS and giving you 30 days to "opt out" again. It's one of the reasons why every year, people get "new terms" in the mail. If you look closely, you'll see a slip of paper in the pile of papers about "privacy" rights and saying you have 30 days or so to let your bank know you don't want them to "share" your data.

Also, keep in mind that anonymized data is anonymous in a local sense, not a global sense. Even if PII is removed from one data vender, you can link anonymized data from a variety of data venders to "unanonymize" you. If you have one set of PII ( say like your employer ), then it's really effortless to link you with the anonymized data.

If you have search history from google, data dump from facebook and CC data, then one could pretty much peer into most people's homes and lives without much problem. You could know people better than their spouses do and in many instances, better than they do themselves.

The difference between a slave or serf and a free man isn't paid labor ( as even slaves were paid for their labor ), but the right to prevent intrusion into their lives. A free man had privacy. Slaves had no right to privacy. We are moving into a world with little to no privacy. Well not all of us. The wealthy are moving into a world of greater privacy.

The article mentions moisture several times, as well as draining moisture during the trip. It also explains liquefaction in terms of water acting on the solid, whereas I always thought it was just about granularity.

From the article, it doesn't sound like it's about trace amounts of water at all. It sounds like water is somehow involved in the loading process...?
"Just sign this opaque blob"?

Digital signatures aren't in the scope of the cryptographic doom principle. Generally, if you're signing a document, you want it to be really clear that you signed what it says.
Indeed, but this is unrelated to whether or not their employer participates in "research" via WBSO or any other schema, it's more like the U.S. H1B program, i.e. they've got to try to search for talent domestically (or at least make a show of it), not find it, and then pay above a certain amount for the job.
The problem is that by the time the victim has fought to have their video re-monetised or reinstated, it's "old". You have a very short time to make money on videos these days. Yes there's rare videos that gain longer term success or get dug up and go viral, but for the most part those first couple days are vital.
I actually really liked the way Apple handled it on their 17 inch macbook pro. It had one physical button at the bottom of the trackpad that stretched the entire width of the trackpad. If you wanted to right click, you put two fingers on the trackpad and clicked with the thumb. It worked great.

Unfortunately, their first attempt at the magic trackpad worked poorly in that regard. I could never get the right click to engage reliably like I could on the macbook pro.
Then your problem becomes 'How to you monetize an app that costs us $20 in GPU cloud time every time someone taps a button'

I am sure that is the main part of it, but there is probably a certain amount of complacency and ignorance in play.

I would guess that, for the vast majority of bulk-cargo voyages, there is no noticeable shifting, making it it easy to assume that it is not a risk. A captain who has never experienced the problem is probably less likely to stand up to the shipper (and the ship owner's management, which is an issue in itself) over whether a cargo is fit to ship.

The article linked by pasta shows that the problem has been recognized and regulated, for some cargoes, a while back (e.g. grain in 1982), but the lesson has not been generalized.
The math isn't rendering for me...

They're generally unsustainable. Having a reputation means a deviation from the norm. Once their reputation is big enough, the number of newcomers to the culture will outstrips the ability for the culture to assimilate them.

Sustainability in the face of that requires whatever the culture is centered around to be the kind of thing that can both put up a facade that serve casuals and angry neighbors, while simultaneously maintaining an environment for the core that built it to retain momentum. And circumstance might just make that impossible.
>The cynicism of Capitalism.

The efficient market hypothesis, the idealization that capitalists will not monopolize, and the concept of the invisible hand are not cynical. The subjective theory of value is a massive dose of idealism (hedging on the idea that consumers have any knowledge whatsoever compared to the producers), and we had to entirely retool Humanity in order to even get to the levels of productivity we currently have.

This website sucks beyond amazing belief. I couldn't take it and left.
The part that's always deliberately ignored in these studies is, that people may have a preference for different presentations and processes. So while, if you force people (in an experimental environment) to use one techinique, and they end up learning about as well, it ignores the idea that they would have resisted learning that thing at all if it was only presented that way?

All from my memory of seeing relatives and friends that worked for Soviet research institutes --> sweeping streets in the desert sun at +40 Celsius ---> working on interesting hardware/software projects. It's amazing how people can thrive and pull out of the lows if you give them a hand. Completely the opposite happened to people in Russia, these research institutes were shut down and people just succumbed to alcoholism. Decades of knowledge were lost or just transferred to the US defense industry.

For some years I lived in a rowhouse in the Maryland suburbs of DC, built about 1983. The units there had double glazing. Maryland does not have an especially cold climate.

Where I live now we have single panes, but behind storm windows.

On the other hand, we know a family near Boston who live in a big old house. The husband, a mathematician, calculated that they would never recover the cost of replacing the windows. I don't know how far out he calculated, but I expect it was about 20 years.

I imagine a problem with that solution is that most of the time, the solid isn't behaving as a liquid. The partitions / baffles may complicate unloading, as you can't just pipe the solid out; a conveyor belt is typically used.
