Yes but it would need to be highly coordinated by a bunch of competing parties with opposing interests who are probably only going to agree on anything when the status quo hits a serious breaking point and not a second before that. Look at the ES4 disaster and original Dart situation, any hypothetical breaking evolution of JS would have to overcome similar challenges.
Probably from engineering in the 30s/40s, I'd bet. Say you had two gun turrets with servos, and used a synchro slaved to another synchro to have one track whatever the other was pointing at.

It's pretty obvious terminology for systems that don't support dynamic hierarchy changes.

EDIT: Consulting some docs from the time ( http://www.eugeneleeslover.com/USNAVY/CHAPTER-10-D.html ), this may not be the case. I'm genuinely curious now.
> If only Linux users would pay for desktop software

Selling Free Software doesn't tend to work very well, since every customer is free to resell it and undercut the developer. Still, I do spend a lot of money on Free Software since I have a bunch of automatic donations to affiliated organisations (FSF, WikiMedia and Open Rights Group in particular).

(I don't use proprietary software due to ethical concerns; see, for example, this HN submission)
It's a root cause of bank irresponsibility. If not for free FDIC insurance, a bank making risky loans would cause the cost of insuring an account at that bank to rise. Securitization does change this, but all the CDSs on AIG's mispriced insurance on CDOs were ultimately taking place against a background of too-big-to-fail and flat-priced government insurance.
That law sounds good, but does Finland have the same issue as the US with regard to fraud protection?

In case you're not familiar, US debit cards are tied to a bank account, but weirdly can be used without a PIN if they are run as a credit card anywhere that takes MC/Visa/whatever-the-issuer-is.

However, the charge is deducted immediately from your account as would a debit charge.

This means if there's fraud, even if you are refunded eventually you will be without access to money for some period of time.

The easy fix is to withdraw some cash for day to day stuff from a trusted bank ATM rather than constantly swipe your card.

Even if the government provides you a no frills bank account, the fraud risk would make many prefer to use their card as little as possible in the USA.
This is similar to the landscape for self-driving cars, but I don’t see how it’s an impediment. Maybe someone can tell me where I’m wrong:

Even if only one country in the world encourages these kinds of autonomy, isn’t that adequate for the development phase of the tech?

If, say, India permits autonomous drones broadly...

1) That market alone can sustain all the research and initial marketing to sustain the industry to where there are mature product offerings.

2) Once there are mature product offerings, then any country that allows them will put their citizens at a competitive advantage.

3) Since permission is more easily granted than revoked, that advantage will spread faster than it contracts.

4) At some point there is a tipping point where money is clearly left on the table in banning countries, and the bans become a clear disadvantage.

5) Autonomy is permitted in all but a few markets.

I honestly don’t even see how that process would even slow growth, let alone halt it.

People act like these technologies are ready-to-roll and regulation is an impediment, but it seems like regulators can move pretty slow and still be fairly close to the growth curve the development and marketing timeline is capable of.
The UK is currently (it's law!) going to impose mandatory online age verification for “adult content”, including IIRC the ability to block non-compliant foreign sites (will they block twitter, tumblr?)
Make providing e.g. 10% of the apartment capacity of a block as affordable / municipal-controlled housing a part of the building contract. Or make redevelopment of a "luxury" block tied to redevelopment of a less luxury block providing affordable housing (still net-positive for the development company, just much less lucrative).

That is, make affordable development a part of the price of luxury development if you must. Just don't stall the development completely.

This works best with large development companies and projects, though.

Assuming USA and that you had a standard work for hire agreement, then no, you cannot sell it as your own without getting a release and probably having to pay back whatever salary you received when working on it.

The internet has the attention economy, which follows a power law of popularity, with a long tail of unpopular content that has <50 readers. I would not consider that 'prosperous'.

I'm curious about the submission's title change which was originally more informative about context (who is interviewing, blurb about interviewee, etc): Is it useful to know that the interviewer is Kevin Scott CTO of Microsoft?

To be fair, that hypothetical problem is caused by a broken classifier and not the law. After all, youtube already blocks and removes content like you've described but no one is accusing the classifier of stiffling free speech.

Having a tangential thematic connection with a fact doesn't stop an accusation from being baseless.

> If you oppose the right to use private property as a means of production, and consequently oppose a law that enforces your right to profit from your private property, then you're clearly advocating a basic communist dogma.

No, you aren't. Communists do not oppose the right to derive profits from property, they oppose the right to have propietary ownership of the physical instrumentalities of production.

Intellectual property is not a thing which can be a “means of production” in the sense used in “basic communist dogma”, and thus ownership of it is not “private property” in the sense of “basic communist dogma” (in communist theory, “private property ” is exclusionary ownership of the “means of production”, and the “means of production” are physical instruments to which human labor is applied in the production process.)
A lawyer reading the terms and conditions will likely agree with you. But why then does the button ask me to “Buy this movie” rather than “License this movie” or “Buy this license”? The receipt also says I bought a movie.

If we are not actually buying the movie the seller should not be able to use that word.

Hey @cnj,
Thanks a lot for your kind words. There are two steps for having your documentation online:
1- Creating the documentation service.
2- Maintaining the content.

We provide you #1 on a golden plate, saving you many hours per year of designing, coding, maintaining servers and working on integrations.

For #2, we are still getting started. We have been working with tens of technical writers in small, medium and large enterprises and we understand the problems that exist throughout this step. Look out for some amazing features that are coming soon.
Elegant and Exquisite, Hoo Hoo, Hee Hee, Gufaw!! I was running an ISP at that time. This caused me no end of headaches in getting the FrontPage extensions working on various and sundry web servers. It allowed people to easily create websites, but caused a nightmare of support and infrastructure issues just to keep it working. So glad this piece of tech faded into infamy.
2019: big visible CPUs trend maybe?
What I have done is just get rid of apps that I can "fall into". All social media. News, Shopping. Any thing that I can just mindlessly thumb through. If I want those things, I can wait until I'm at a laptop. If I forget what they were, oh well. Again, that's what is working for me.
Vault has always appeared to me to be a great technology for a larger tech org looking to implement more granular access control and increased auditability.

At a smaller scale, we've been satisfied with encrypting secrets using KMS and then placing the resultant ciphertext into environment variables that we commit with our terraform scripts. Our system does not allow granular access control, but it is relatively simple to implement using a couple of Bash scripts and allows committing all of the config, including secrets, all at once so that deploys are fully reproducible.

To allow a bit more granularity in isolating different environments, we use different encryption keys depending on whether we have a dev/uat/prod deployment. We grant the target application role access to particular secrets based on which KMS keys it can use.

The other trick is that we decrypt all of the secrets in our environment at the entry point of our application code, so that the environment is fully decrypted by the time the service runs. This means there is no trace of secret management in our application code.

There are intermediate steps of this scheme where we could revoke access to KMS keys for some developers, so that we could allow users to deploy services but not necessarily be able to use and access the encrypted secrets.

Regardless, I always appreciate knowing these kinds of technologies exist because they seem to me to solve very challenging problems at scale.
I love Easter eggs like this one! I usually put in a secret route in web apps/APIs that I build that spits out a silly meme. Not that anyone will find out, but still gives me joy.

P.S would’ve been even more awesome if Antirez could’ve slipped this one in without the whole world noticing but I guess that’s impossible for a hugely popular open source project.
I would go a step further. Pricing should be transparent and non-discriminatory.

You seem to think that technology equals "venture capital that shows up in the tech news", and you don't seem to know much about Switzerland as well.

Why do you think IBM, Disney, Google all have massive research centers in Switzerland? Or why Switzerland is one of the world leaders in research?

Your argument is "I don't know about it, therefore it doesn't exist". It only proves that you don't know about it, nothing else.

Sure small players shouldn’t be exempt from the law, but surely it’s ridiculous to expect every website with user uploaded content to have an on-call team of content managers to comply with takedowns. This hurts small players much more than big players, because now it’s not possible to be a small player in this area. It’s not exemptions which are important, it’s understanding why this makes the entire approach flawed to begin with

I added my phone number when I first bought a domain without realizing anything about whois. Now almost 4 years later I still get at least 3 calls a day from telemarketers selling "web development" services. It makes for many unneeded distractions.
I've gotten way "better" at social events and parties over the years. It hasn't changed my dislike for them; I still find them exhausting and unpleasant.

I think it's important to remember that one's level of skill and appreciation of something aren't always directly related. I have found some things to be more enjoyable as I've improved (art, music, fighting games), but other things, like big social gatherings, remain unenjoyable for me.
With iOS it's even worse, because you end up tied to a specific version of the platform.

For example: I bought the Monkey Island remake for iOS when it came out. It's no longer playable, because a 64-bit binary was never produced, and 32-bit apps don't work on iOS 11.

Similar things happened with computer operating systems, but holding on to an older version is so much easier to do on computers. I guess a 7 year usable life is decent for how much I paid for the game, but still, annoying.

Not quite the same, as the implication is that you can stream indefinitely. You _can't_ download 4K videos, for instance.
the first generic EpiPens were just approved a month ago, I don't know if they're widely available yet. if for now some plan formularies only have name-brand injectors on them, some people with insurance could potentially pay less for the brand than the generic until that changes. otherwise, the same substitution allowances and requirements should apply.

EpiPens aren't really medical devices, it's just a drug with a specialized route of administration. it's not any different from an inhaler, a nasal spray bottle, an eyedrop bottle, etc., from a dispensing point of view.

EDIT: it's true that pharmacists aren't always allowed to tell patients when they could save money by buying a generic and paying out of pocket rather than buying a more expensive name brand and paying their share of the full price with insurance. that may be what you heard.

I had a similar reaction, since it's not like these matching algorithms do any "learning" (as far as I know). And you are right that the credit here goes largely to economists.

But the article does point out that we do a lot of goalpost-shifting when it comes to defining "AI", so "algorithm solving what we thought was a very human task" plausibly falls under that umbrella. I think that's the rhetorical point of using that word.

Or maybe they just figured "AI" drives clicks.
TiDB Creator, PingCAP, Raises $50M Series C Round
It's not clearly stated in the original tweets, but I'm glad this article covered it. The Movie was not "physically" deleted from their library.

They didn't have a downloaded copy of it, and the ability to re-download (or stream) a new copy from iTunes no longer exists.

This is an understandable frustration since the workflows for iCloud, Apple Music, etc are pushing the cloud downloadability to be a first class feature and you would expect your purchases to stay there. That's sadly not always the case.

But I think this is an important distinction

NDA/Noncompetes are usually enforceable in states that allow them. This is most states.
Here is an analogy - imagine we crack down on theft at the source by massive fines for receiving stolen property. Sounds good? Try to sell anything secondhand then.

Nobody wants to engage in the secondhand market because of the massive liability. Sure you own it but can you prove it to their satisfaction? You could be lying and that is mo excuse on their part. You try to sell crafts you made yourself instead but nobody can be sure you didn't just steal them because you aren't a big name crafter. Big corporations can sell directly but small manufacturers and businesses are SOL. And worse yet this includes petitions and pamphlets too!

That is exactly what secondary liability does.

I think you have to give up on the idea that you can fix ALL bugs all the time. But I don't think we need to be defeatist. Each layer of tests is an improvement. The benefits of unit testing, integration testing, comparison testing, and fuzz testing are pretty unambiguous. We can always add more layers that give us high assurances against certain classes of bugs.

Do we have systems to write programs that are free of dangling pointers? Yes. Double frees? Yes. Buffer overflows? Yes. Seg faults? Yes.

With regard to infinite loops, we cannot prove programs in general terminate or not, but we CAN prove that some programs terminate. If our program cannot be proven, we can adjust it until it can.

I guess this is similar to theorem proving. We have to be able to define what kind of bug we're talking about, and develop in a system that allows us to prove to ourselves that we no longer have that class of bug.

When I talk about a "system", I don't care what it is. Maybe it's a library or set of functions or API that doesn't allow for certain types of errors. Maybe it's a static analysis tool. Maybe it's a language. It doesn't matter, as long as you can have high assurances later that your large code base no longer contains a particular class of errors.

Does this get rid of all bugs? No, but it greatly reduces the possible ways that bugs can exist, and that's huge progress.
I don't know why anyone is surprised by this. Apple has a long history of getting touchy-feely with our computers.

I can't count the number of times Apple has burned me. Going back over a decade, with the iTunes 4.01 "upgrade" that only removed the ability to stream my music collection over the internet.

And the countless shenanigans with the app store, like silently deleting old versions of apps. Several times I had regressions introduced and no way to go back. And that is really just the tip of the iceberg.

In particular, Apple completely ruined my iPad 4[1]
I can no longer read it in bed because I can't change the light filter. My favorite apps no longer work. And I did NOT want it, but they did it to me anyway.

I really think that we should have a threat model for manufacturer updates. I now have to research exactly what an update does before I install it, because it could very well rob me of functionality that I enjoyed. And the theme of dishonesty by manufacturers is more than enough reason not to trust them.

I think the solution to this problem is to not run your apps with the root account in the database. Then the app db passwords can be automatically rotated by vault, and db admins can request temporary root access from vault if necessary (and those credentials should be short-lived).
I would love for this to be a new trend. I just sold an 3rd Generation iPod Touch at a garage sale that I hadn't used in many years.
