Does that mean that once you make a copy from a source you have the right to copy from, then you cannot make another copy from that copied source? It doesn't seem like the wording of the law is saying that though...

...all archival copies are destroyed in the event that continued possession of the computer program should cease to be rightful.

This part seems to imply that your rights to the copy are actually independent from the original copy or physical media. It implies that i can have as many archival copies as long as I have the rights, so I can't see why I can't download a copy as long as I don't cease to be rightful in doing so.
The difference between zinc plated fasteners and hot dip galvanised fasteners is actually quite significant. Zinc is usually around the 20micron thickness possibly less, whilst galvanised is usually >60micron usually quite a bit more.

The process for applying the coatings as well as the end use of fasteners with the two coatings is also quite different.

I'm getting a lot of flack for this comment, but this was kinda my point. I wasn't talking about ethics in any kind of "pure" sense. If you look up definitions for fiduciary you might get something like this:

> A fiduciary is a person who holds a legal or ethical relationship of trust with one or more other parties.

I'm talking about ethics in a very narrow sense. Like if you're wearing blinders or have tunnel vision. That's my criticism. Shareholders come first. People play a "role" in society, they put on their masks and costumes, and quit being human. They become the role.

> In fact, a common question about ethics is whether a business can be ethical.

This is the exact question I'm asking. I tend to think not, at least if they're publicly traded. It's our responsibility as a society to keep them honest, through regulations and shame.

> I just know a BS argument about ethics when I see one.

This isn't a BS argument, or argument at all. I was musing about the ethics and philosophy of the world we live in, and being critical of it. Not saying things should be that way, just that they often are.
Publix has been outperforming the competition on a lot of metrics treating and paying employees well. The employees also own a good chunk of the company getting bonuses based on its profit. The founding family is still rich. Customer satisfaction rate highest in industry. Everyone wins with their model.

Costco also invests in its workers who perform really well. An executive actually said once that they decided not to advertise specifically to pay workers more which would create incredible service which would spread company word of mouth. They got around $100 billion a year in revenues that way.

https://www.investopedia.com/stock-analysis/040915/3-reasons...

So, companies like Walmart lost $100 billion / yr to Costco and $35 billion / yr to Publix when I looked at the numbers. Plus whatever they lost other years. Walmart finally learns having workers that care a tiny bit about the company might be good for the bottom line. Costly lesson. Also shows the benefit of dominance: they can literally throw away billions in potential sales from obvious strategies with no negative effects on their executives. ;)
The KMT were the losers, like the Confederacy, but the CCP were the rebels, like the Confederacy. At the end of the day, both sought to control all of China, so I don't think it matters which side is which in this analogy.

I almost feel like control of Taiwan is more a matter of national pride for the PRC than geopolitics at this point. Yes, the PRC would love to get the USA out of the South China Sea, but there are already American forces in Japan that aren't leaving anytime soon. Yes, the PRC would love to add Taiwan to its territory, but it should be mostly happy enough just to continue building economic ties. However, both the government and the people see possession of Taiwan as unfinished business and this is what I think drives their dramatic reactions in cases like this Apple incident, which is what I was trying to illustrate with the analogy.
Ask HN: How much would Google offer to someone the previously rejected
What kind of range would I be looking at? Now I only have essentially 4 years of Ruby experience and some DBA and ETL development. Seems like the best case scenario I'd be going back to square 1 career wise in exchange for the "privilege" of working at Google.

I'm fairly certain at best they just want another body to throw through the meat grinder interview/hiring process. Also SF vs NY.
In theory if you've got distance information and can keep the phone at a known angle in relation to the item differentiating between 27 and 29 mm shouldn't be an issue.

What the photo bits will not be able to do without significant user interaction is determine other key properties of the fastener including material strength and likely finish. It's a cute gimmick though.

Exactly the reason why unbridled capitalism is terrible. I'd imagine that if we had a genocide going on today, a company like Bayer would be rewarded by its shareholders for manufacturing Zyklon B since the only reason for a corporation to exist is to generate profits right?
Race, abortion, and an irrational fear of taxation are enough to keep people voting against their self interests. These are important factors to consider when trying to understand voting patterns in the U.S.
This is what I have done. However, you still have the risk of collisions. Depending on the context, like i did a small test and permuted all letters a-z and numbers and there are no collisions. However, changing a-z to A-Z resulted in many(may need to check code). However, this allows for a 5 character command switch.
It also won't be the only dependency.

> distorting the market

the realities of the labor "market" are far from a perfect market, mostly because of the massive leverage imbalances between employer and employee (e.g. it's a lot easier for amazon to replace a singular employee than for that employee to find another job). You're not distorting the market by leveling the playing field, in fact it may be you are un-distorting it.

The leaked Citigroup memos indicate their advisors are telling them about the voter threat if they didn't already know. The response is to pay media to brainwash them into thinking it's a good system where they can become well-off, too.

Plus, they give people plenty of distractions to shout at instead of improve their situation. Human nature takes over from there.
There's certainly a strong argument for rolling back all the extensions and expansions for patents, copyrights and trademarks, which have been rammed through over the past few decades, by exploitative rights holders.

The alternative is just to ignore it all, and use adequate OPSEC to avoid prosecution. If the system is so totally dominated by monied interests that there's no hope for relief, what else can we do? Just declare independence, and let them pound sand. China and Russia have at times done that, more or less. And we can create our own overlay Internet that can't be coerced or taken down. Or at least, can't be taken down without unacceptable consequences for the commercial Internet. If it comes down to it, overlay routers can spread as malware, and use covert channels, hidden in HD video etc.
In a counter example it is great that IMDB continues working after Amazon acquisition. I think this acquisition was neutral, they removed the discussion forums and the site pretends to be "Web 2.0" but the data can be downloaded from: https://www.imdb.com/interfaces/ . The license is not permissive but the data remains there.
Yeah. You're definitely not the audience for this vertical.
Just because this doesn't seem profitable in your niche/individual usage doesn't mean that there are individuals and orgs buying these things in bulk.

The string compare has a lot of branching and looks at both strings. The hash method one checks the hash of the test string(size_t) with the size_t of the other string. The hash itself, say fnv1a, can be very quick(a xor and a multiply I think per character) I think I remember testing this and it was quicker. ill try to find the test, but it is easily done. Either way, it's the only way to use a switch statement this way
That's not what happened at his competitors that invested in workers like Publix and Costco. They were happy enough with their wages and work environment being better than the rest that they stick with the company working hard. The industry has a tracker for customer satisfaction. They're high in it regularly.

Your hypothesis didn't play out when management were committed to taking care of employees with a good baseline.
If by "interaction term" it is meant f(a,b), then I congratulate the author of that tautology.

Each doubling of frequencies is divided into twelve somewhat evenly-spaced semitones. If you go up seven out of twelve (using index 0 for your initial frequency), that's essentially half way to the doubling of the frequency with a ratio of 3:2. E.g., if your starting frequency is 440, going up seven steps will give you a note with a frequency of 660.

Another way of dividing up the space between a frequency and it's doubling uses eight of the twelve semi-tone divisions . The eight notes form an 'OCTive'. The octive has a 1-based index for the starting frequency. You can see seven out of twelve highlighted notes in the dashboard circles . The eighth note has the same name as the first one as you complete the circle but it would either be double or half the frequency. Going up seven semi-tones using the twelve division 'chromatic' scale is the same as going up five steps in the more selective eight note octive scale.

Yes, the circle continues from 2n<->4n and 4n<->8n and n/2<->n and n/4<->n/8 etc. The boundaries are those of human hearing from about 20hz to 20khz.

The white keys on a piano are the key of C Major. The black keys are the 'accidental' notes--the five notes of the twelve division chromatic scale that are discarded when selecting the notes for the eight (7 + the 1st/8th note that is counted twice to complete the circle) note octive.
Natural minor scale as opposed to harmonic or melodic.

Fastener classification does tend to be a bit vague at best. Generally I find generic terms are used for low grade products, and often for products which you may struggle to find proper material certs for. Fine for general use home use, but no good in industrial engineering applications.

Id imagine that the problem is that software engineers don't understand hardware engineering, and it's actually not a space where a lot of good resources exist. I.e. without a little bit of familiarity with material science and industry, it's not just something you can easily google. You need an engineer familiar with the fastener industry if you want a chance for getting a decent system of classifications.

Also from a metric country, things like number and wire gauges are odd to me as well as I only occasionally have to deal with them.

If you are looking for fasteners for specific industrial use then I'd assume you would have the expertise to select the appropriate fastener or some internal engineering specification to follow. You don't just buy something from the scientific bolt category on Amazon. You may also require material certificates etc, which I don't believe is something these online options typically offer, though I may be wrong.
Delayed fungal evolution did not cause the Paleozoic peak in coal production
I agree, the way my comment was worded was unfortunate, but I'm looking at it from a very narrow perspective. Ethics don't tend to be absolute. What's fair for one person, may seem unfair to another. The devil is in the details. It all comes down to the way you do the calculation. I think that process is perverse for many businesses.
That author states in opening paragraph: "Apple offers better products and solutions than its competitors." And how as a "tech writer" they always recommend Apple products. Nothing to do with privacy.

The article is not about privacy.
Most of those sound like a recipe for going out of business.
Structuralism as a response to skepticism (2017) [pdf]
If Americans are so keen to pay people better they should vote to elect leaders who will increase minimum wage. But they don't. So it does seem that the majority of voters don't care enough to increase minimum wage.

Why put the onus on private business to implement above market wages and pay people more than the free market allows? This causes all sorts of unintended consequences.

There is a simple answer that doesn’t distort the private market - expand the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Instead of giving it out once per year, give it out every month to people who qualify. The EITC has traditionally been supported by Republican and Democratic administrations. I don’t know how it would fare in today’s political climate.
It's super obvious. But for those unfamiliar... there is a famous story about two people and a snake. You have probably heard it.

"Gnostics consider that the biblical myth of creation can be explained as follows: the creator satan of the world trapped Adam and Eve in his miserable world, and Lucifer, in the form of a serpent, offered them the forbidden fruit of saving Gnosis, and showed them that the creator was deceiving them. In other words, the creator said to man "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." On the other hand, the Serpent said "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." The bible continued: "And the eyes of both of them were opened". It doesn't say "they both died", it says "the eyes of both of them were opened", like the Serpent had said. Later, the creator says "And now man has become as one of us, to know good and evil". The creator lied. He said that man would die if he ate the fruit, but man did not die. The Serpent was telling the truth. The creator himself ended up agreeing that the Serpent was right. More precisely, Gnostics called the demiurge a liar as well as a plagiarizer. For them, the entire creation is a failed attempt by the demiurge to imitate the unknowable world. In this way, they think that the bible itself is a complete plagiarism, based principally on pre-biblical Babylonian and Egyptian texts."

"Gnostics believe that this Serpent Lucifer is the liberator of man and the world. It is wisdom, the liberating Gnosis that wakes man up and saves him. Of course, this Messenger of the Unknowable God, Lucifer, is an opponent and an enemy of the creator of the world."

So it does seem that the majority of voters don't care enough to increase minimum wage.

You can't just randomly pick an issue, see it hasn't been done, and conclude no one cares about it. Voting isn't that simple. And getting things done within the government isn't that simple.

But in any case, let's say you're right... there's nothing wrong with pressuring individual companies. Pressure, whether applied socially, economically (through boycotts), or legally are all valid ways of achieving a goal. Some of those may be more effective than others, but people should use whatever tools they have available.
My Windows 10 desktop has similar issues. It'll fail to lock when idle most of the time.

My theory is the mouse is kept active by minute vibrations from a nearby fan among other sources, but I haven't tested it yet. Either way, how Microsoft's idle detection code can be so poor give the implications is breathtaking.
> Also pointing out that donating to charity ends up being tax deductible so it is truly the most selfish public display

i mean, he still ends up with less money. he just doesn't get taxed on the money he gives away.

one could argue that donating is more tax efficient than paying workers more, because then their income would be taxed.
Absolutely, don't use a company as large as Google for your data services. An individual customer is not a significant income source, so they care less about their customers. But there are several services out there offering paid data services that do care, because their main income source is the customers, rather than advertisement and data collection companies.
I think we should be able to make fun of anything. I like that world better.
What's the point of having the 'fastest processor on the market' if you are completely locked down?

- no background tasks, OneDrive experience sucks

- file system experience sucks, cannot save file in one app and open in another

- no alternative browsers

- no apps like Termux, or other emulators

It's a joke!

What are you going to do with this 'fastest
processor'? Make photos of food for Instagram?
There is a lot of interesting stuff going on in the cryptocurrency space, but it's all fairly high-risk/speculative stuff. Off the top of my head, there's:

Fixing the transaction delays & scalability problems of Bitcoin (Nano, Iota).

Fixing web advertising (Brave/BAT).

Decentralized prediction markets (Augur).

Tokenizing real estate (lots of startups).

Decentralized stablecoins (DAI).

DApp platforms (Ethereum, EOS, bunch of others now) and infrastructure built to solve problems with those platforms (Loom Network, Cardstack).

It remains to be seen how much of this will be profitable or even get any significant user adoption.

I'm thinking back to the dot-com boom, though. The WWW started, fundamentally, as a communication technology, and it had its biggest impact as a communication technology. But in between, there was a 5-year period (1995-2000) when everybody was trying to get rich off dot-coms, usually by applying them to existing profitable markets that it was completely unsuited to. And then there was a further 2 year period (2001-2003) where nobody was getting rich off anything, companies were going bankrupt left and right, but people were figuring out what the web was actually good for. Once they did, the resulting companies changed the world far more than Tim Berners-Lee could've imagined.

Cryptocurrencies are fundamentally financial products, and I bet that their ultimate use will end up replacing much of the financial industry. We just had 4 years of hobbyist development (2009-2013) followed by 5 years of everybody trying to get rich off them (2013-2018) by either building platforms or applying them to existing industries, much of which they're ill-suited for. A lot of people have recently lost their shirt. I don't know whether this means we're in the "let's figure out what they're actually good for" phase, or whether they'll be a further, even bigger bubble. It's likely that cryptocurrencies will take longer to penetrate the mass market than the WWW did, because communications (by its nature) spreads virally, while finance is the underpinning for the entire rest of the economy. But I don't think cryptocurrencies are a fad that'll die out, at this point...there are too many people experimenting with them and too many people desperate for an alternative to the mainstream financial system.

Isn't the current editor state usually missing semicolons and stuff? Does it wait till you have no syntax errors to start?
To me it boils down to this. At some level, there is a point where you have to trust people/companies. I don’t have time to spend researching and installing custom software to protect privacy. I fully understand that there are people here who have the time to devote to that or want to spend time doing that, but it’s not practical for most people to really spend much time on it.

So, given that I have to trust someone (and for 99% of people on the planet this is also true) I choose to trust Apple.
The Quarks (rip) had a reduced and improved x86-compatible instruction set and they were quite low powered... they really failed to catch on because Intel didn't think to put them in a friendly package to be integrated into anything - they thought teeny tiny pitch BGA was fine for the Maker community that still loves their throughhole components. (And they were kinda buggy chips, but they had roughly shaken them down well by the next silicon spins). I had kinda hoped the Quark would stick around, just so Intel could start sundowning some of those terrible old instructions and execution modes and start properly decrufting x86 - it's 2018, we don't need 32-bit Real Mode anymore, we can emulate it a thousand times on a PC and still have processor power left to play video games.

But, that being said, these things probably have a "Mobile Core" processor (i.e. an Atom), which are quite low powered still, and they probably don't run them at all that high of a clock rate either, saving more power.

If the world comes apart at the seams, it won't matter whether or not the people are sheeple who have all been bamboozled. It will still negatively impact the people at the top creating these problems.

It may be "stupidity" rather than malice driving this. What I'm saying is they need to up their game out of enlightened self interest, even if they don't care one bit about the people.

If the de facto pie shrinks due to global mismanagement of resources, the richest of the rich have the most to lose.

Yes, you have more privacy with xprivacy, but at the same time, for running it, you need root access and install xposed, so you get +10 points for privacy and -5000 for security
I might be for that, as long as any welfare given to a company's employees is billed to the company.

As it is now, some companies pay below what people need to survive, and force their employees to collect welfare to make up for the difference... effectively forcing tax payers to subsidize their business.

Without that adjustment, (your idea with) the EITC distorts markets.. by reducing the pressure employees and job seekers place on a company to pay adequate wages. In a market without EITC/welfare, working a job that paid too little to survive would result in your employees leaving, or at least unionizing/striking. No one would work for you knowing they wouldn't obtain enough money to pay their bills.
