One thing I find bewildering is how the ownership of a song is far longer than the ownership of a recording.

I remember reading about (very liberal) Randy Bachmann supporting a very conservative copyright plan, and being confused... but it was explained that his earlier recordings were going to be public domain while he still lived. That was his worry - that he would cease to own his first albums. Not the songs, which are covered constantly, but the actual albums.

To me, it's exactly backwards that recordings have a short shelf-life (X0 years), while writings compositions have a long one (X0 years after death of author). It seems far more important to me to allow new artists to iterate on old art, than it does to set the actual original recorded performance of that art free.
This is awesome - I was actually in the middle of building something similar (but not using Keybase for verification... that would have been so much better than rolling my own).

I think this is a better solution.

> Salt water destroys everything

This is the statement I hear relating to all kinds of ocean-based renewable energy ideas. Sources are never provided.

The problem must have to do with economic viability and the replacement/maintenance costs exceeding savings.

Could you supply sources to elaborate on where the break even point of solar tail (or any two other ocean renewable energy) systems would be as relates to costs and benefits?

Edit: I don't really want to argue whether or not steel rusts in saltwater. My argument was that the break-even point of a "solar tail" is dismissed out of hand without sources because of land-based technologies being considered as the only ones.
Governments are in a competitive market for how business friendly they are. This creates pressure to create beneficial tax and subsidy regimes or risk losing businesses. If a government plays it too strict, multinationals will minimize their operations and local businesses won't be able to compete internationally.

The way I see it, it's really the market at work, doing exactly what markets do. Negotiating a price (tax cuts and subdidies) in exchange for a good or service (business presence hiring staff and causing economic activity).
On top of that DST is one of the nastiest things when dealing with time / date in CS.

I’m scared as well that there will be another edge case when the DST is being demolished from EU as the time calculation in the past and the future will have another “if” clause.

Sometimes performance or flexibility are important concerns. But feel free to manage millions of small strings with std::string or even as GC'ed objects :). And incur the overhead of indirection when attaching bounded-size strings to other data.
No the headline was not wrong. One of the answers explained Horner's method and its relation to using abacus (which has a small register file, in modern lingo). However that is not the extent of the book mentioned. You can find the book here: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%9B%9B%E5%85%83%E7%8E%89%E9...
The equations dealt with have been transcribed into modern algebraic expressions. They were definitely solved, not merely computed.

The more complete answer should have been "The higher order polynomial (as high as 14) came from solving multivariate simultaneous equations (with degrees as high as 4) by elimination of variables."

It seems like Magnus sails work best when the wind is coming from the side (port or starboard), since the direction of force is perpendicular to the wind [0]. Doesn't matter which side, since you can just reverse the rotation of the cylinder.

With a headwind or tailwind, tacking could be used but the increased distance traveled may offset the gains from the Magnus sail.

There are so many unlikely circumstances surrounding the Elizabeth case—the marriage between subject and scientist, the lack of further testing, the inability to find anyone else with her abilities—that some psychologists have concluded that there's something fishy about Stromeyer's findings. He denies it. "We don't have any doubt about our data," he told me recently. Still, his one-woman study, he says, "is not strong evidence for other people having photographic memory."

That's not to say there aren't people with extraordinarily good memories—there are. They just can't take mental snapshots and recall them with perfect fidelity. Kim Peek *, the 53-year-old savant who was the basis for Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man, is said to have memorized every page of the 9,000-plus books he has read at 8 to 12 seconds per page (each eye reads its own page independently), though that claim has never been rigorously tested. Another savant, Stephen Wiltshire, has been called the "human camera" for his ability to create sketches of a scene after looking at it for just a few seconds. But even he doesn't have a truly photographic memory. His mind doesn't work like a Xerox. He takes liberties.

Photographic memory is often confused with another bizarre—but real—perceptual phenomenon called eidetic memory, which occurs in between 2 and 15 percent of children and very rarely in adults. An eidetic image is essentially a vivid afterimage that lingers in the mind's eye for up to a few minutes before fading away. Children with eidetic memory never have anything close to perfect recall, and they typically aren't able to visualize anything as detailed as a body of text. "

I think part of what is argued is that people need to look at their software and determine what failure modes are not acceptable. It is impossible to design a system that won't fail so the focus should be on designing parts that detect and handle failures. For those parts you may want to pull in techniques from aerospace such as command monitor setups, assertions, fail-safe modes, and force restarts.

Clearly not all software is flight critical but a lot of software could be improved by treating some parts of it as such.

Very nice overview of how to use these two products together!
Firstly, the assumption by google should be innocence rather than the guilt of the youtube creator. The burden should be on the accuser and not the accused.

Secondly, if 3 copyright violations gets the accused banned, then 3 false copyright accusations should get the accuser banned. Under youtube's current model, it actually incentivizes companies to claim everything since there are no consequences.

Thirdly, with what youtube is doing, it seems like they just want to be a platform for corporate media. It seems like they are heavily pushing established media like CNN, Late Night Shows, SNL and celebrities like ( Kevin Hart, Will Smith, etc ). I'm seeing so many more corporate media recommendations on youtube than ever before. If that's the case, what's the point of youtube? If all they want is for me to see CNN or Kimmel clips, what do I need youtube for? I can just go watch CNN and Kimmel on TV.

Youtube's selling point was that it wasn't TV. It was different. That's the case less and less now. I still have hope for youtube and I still like a lot of the non-corporate content there, but I hope youtube really reassesses their handling of claims.

Edit: And as for copyright, there should be less, not more of it and it should be for limited time. It stifles creativity and it pretty much enriches the few ( most of whom had nothing to do with the creation of art ).
Yes they do. Plus nothing is open on Sundays. You get to work a bit later, or duck out for a bit to go to the bank, or go while you're doing outside work anyway.

You are, unfortunately, incorrect. The Magnus effect doesn't gain you anything other than the helpful drag of a tall cylinder when going in the same direction as the wind. Rotating it only pulls you sideways, which doesn't help.

However, it can pull you forward when the wind is coming from the side. You change the direction of rotation based on which side the wind is coming from.

Without tacking, no (edit: solely) wind power systems will help when going straight upwind.

Nothing about this is convenient except if your workflow involves you constantly changing keyboard layout for some reason.

My speculation for a while is that the touch bar on the Mac is a foot in the door toward eventually replacing the entire bottom surface of the Mac with a haptic virtual keyboard.

If it's done very very well it could be awesome: durable, reconfigurable, what's not to love? It would take getting used to but I can't see it being that bad. But it must be done incredibly well or it will suck.

Edit: For prolonged work I would always much prefer a real keyboard, but for that I have a USB Das Keyboard. When using the laptop on the go I'm less picky and more interested in other things too like durability.

I wasn't referring to the reddit page, but the Wikipedia page it's based on:

> Si-yüan yü-jian (《四元玉鑒》), or Jade Mirror of the Four Unknowns, was written by Zhu Shijie in 1303 AD and marks the peak in the development of Chinese algebra. The four elements, called heaven, earth, man and matter, represented the four unknown quantities in his algebraic equations. It deals with simultaneous equations and with equations of degrees as high as fourteen. The author uses the method of fan fa, today called Horner's method, to solve these equations.[48]

If there's more to the story you might want to correct Wikipedia.

>That works when you can pump oil to pay for everything and don't need to be competitive on cost.

When you can offload the consequences of poor planning or lack of foresight onto your employees (in the form of making them stay late, come in early, be on call or have arbitrary schedules, etc.) at zero cost, that's going to discourage good management and honest project planning.

If I don't have to pay a price for underestimating how long it will take to do something, then am I not subtly incentivized to lowball estimates for everything knowing that it's really no skin off my back if it takes longer than expected? It's all coming out of my employees' hides. There may be fuzzy, unquantifiable effects on morale, psychological health, creativity, etc. on my staff that hurt the organization in the long run, but compared to the hard data on quarterly returns they don't weigh as heavily.
Thomas Wolfe was right--You Can't Go Home Again.
The "fat cat investors" are to a large extent these days things like pension funds, or VC firms that will just immediately turn around and re-invest the money into new startups.

And yes, I think that'd be the right thing to do. The sums of money we're talking about here are vast. They're not going to go into the pockets of some stereotyped "fat cat" capitalist. Outside of pension payouts they'll be reallocated to other companies that may be doing important things of the sort that big internet firms just won't tackle, like biotech/drugs research.

Look at it like this. Does Google really need to create yet another instant messaging product for the seventh time? Or would the capital used to do that be better re-allocated to some other part of the economy?

Does this only apply to companies incorporated in the state? Most companies operating in CA (at least I assume the ones they’re trying to target) are incorporated in Delaware. Seems like this won’t make a difference if that’s the loophole.

On another note, what the flying fuck is this supposed to achieve? All this will create is scenarios where people are only there because they legally have to be, not because they’re the best person for the job.

I’m 100% for equal rights. I don’t judge a person by anything but their ability to perform the job as best as possible. This isn’t equal rights. This is a legally binding pitty-hire. Hopefully people leverage it positively, though, and start considering more women for board positions. On that note, women need to also push for these positions, too. It’s not exactly a cookie cutter issue.

Whereever you might fall on the left-right spectrum, this law is sexist, discriminatory, idiotic, and an escalation of the brewing gender war.

If the law required a 50/50 gender split on boards, or at least one member of each gender or similar, I wouldn't find it offensive. As is, it allows all-female boards and bans all-male ones.

Laws like this are what energize the Trump political base.

DNT is a flawed idea in the first place. DNT is based on the idea that users can opt out of being tracked by sending that header. But (e.g.) European privacy law requires having users explicitly opt in to being tracked -- the message DNT is meant to assert is the legal default under GDPR.

DNT only works if the assumption is that users who make no choice can be treated as consenting (which is no longer the case under GDPR). But if you set DNT by default you're not asserting "this user doesn't want to be tracked", you're just making it impossible to tell whether the user explicitly opts out or hasn't made a choice (and therefore actually do consent).

If tracking is opt-out rather than opt-in (i.e. if we disregard GDPR and similar privacy laws and go with how US startups have operated so far) that means DNT is no longer a reliable signal for opting out and thus meaningless.

Implications about consent and privacy aside, DNT only works if it is used with intent. In the absence of intent, by making it the default without the user's knowledge, it becomes ambiguous and therefore pointless.

To put it differently: if there had never been any browsers that set DNT by default (except maybe browsers explicitly marketing themselves as "privacy first" like Brave does), you could use DNT as an explicit assertion that you do not consent to being tracked. This means it could actually serve as a technical implementation to opt-out of any "implied consent" allowed by the GDPR and making use of your right to control your data.

But thanks to Microsoft randomly slapping on the header to piss off Google, DNT is now too ambiguous to infer any of that.

Copying the first comment from WSJ 'cause it's interesting:

> These are known as Flettner rotors after the German engineer Anton Flettner who invented them and made the first rotor sailing ship in 1924, with one sailing one across the Atlantic in 1926 - and they are not turbo sails. They have generally been in disuse as it has been deemed that the energy expended in propulsion by Flettner rotors was higher than that for propellers - perhaps it seems with modern materials, wind monitoring and computer assisted controls this has been tilted to the favor of Flettner rotors. Flettner also invented trim tabs which any large power boat operator knows very well.

> An interesting note, Flettner was considered so valuable to the Germans in WW2 that Heinrich Himmler, the head of the Gestapo saw to it that Flettner's Jewish wife was escorted to Sweden for her safety for the duration of the war.
