Optimization fuel[1] is a neat solution: have the compiler perform only the first n optimization operations, then use binary search to find which operation was bad. You can then break execution at that point to see what is going wrong.

Google can strike a deal with a few news agencies to link to the first source of the news, and ditch all other newspapers, though.

Now that I think of it more, what stops Google from charging the news services for the privilege of being included in the search results?
>> 2. Fair use almost definitely does not apply to most youtube content : if you use content other people made (video games or music immediately come to mind) you are infringing copyright holder rights.

Have you read the YouTube terms for original content uploaded by individuals? I'm not so sure doing remixes isn't allowed. If you don't want people doing that to your stuff, keep it off YouTube. I could be wrong, it's been many years since I read their ToS.
Most of those citizens don't speak any of the languages that the EU operates in. And the EU only translates the result of the legislative process, not the process, so participating in Polish or Greek ... or even French ... is almost impossible. Eventually the outcome of the whole process is translated, but that's it.

And starting next year there will be exactly 0.9% [2] of the citizens that speak the language that the EU government conducts itself. Now it is 13.9% [1], which is not exactly a good number. As if it wasn't already a huge problem that the French and German governments essentially control the EU.

Combine that with the fact that large blocks hate eachother. Like famously the French and German governments, for example, but those are hardly the only examples. Some blocks have actually recently had shooting conflicts with deaths (the Catalan and Spanish governments, if you're wondering, and yes, both have representation, even though the Catalan government gets no representation in the commission or council, the only institutions with real power in the EU).

There is also the issue, that college serves substantially a professional networking function when you get into the more expensive schools. This is quite apart from the quality of education but it can have a real impact on one's career outcomes.
That's the one! Thank you so much.
Good laws recognise that where preferences/tendencies are likely to become addictions for some people, they cease to be merely conscious "wants" or "choices", and thus some level of control is required to limit the damage both to the individual and to society.

Secret management can be a really infuriating problem. No matter what you do there never seems to be a good solution between dealing with employees who know passwords leaving, automated processes needing credentials and other business processes. It's one of the toughest problems I have ever seen without a good solution. At least not one that the business people will accept without complaining that it's too expensive or burdensome.
Depending on the journal and its licensing agreement, they may not even accept manuscripts which have been circulated as preprints. Some of them will allow you to publish the corrections made through the review process. Some of them will even allow you to distribute the final article as published. But this is essentially unrelated to the law being discussed.
Yeah but I didn't think they'd show news there unless you actually agreed to the news terms.

Security Vulnerability in Smart Electric Outlets
It's a really a complex answer with many facets but the main one in my opinion is that the displays of that era were CRTs with extremely low resolution (e.g. 1024x768) and generally dull color depth. This in turn required things within the page to be large, blocky, and saturated to make it appear pleasant to the eyes. What you see in these screenshots of FrontPage is _not_ what the user nor the developer would experience on such hardware. As a analogue example of a game character on an LCD vs CRT might help illustrate this: https://kayin.moe/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/1391807722376-1....

Some other smaller things also contributed but I don't think they were such big deals:

- Lack of good compression on both transfer of data and file formats, necessitating simpler designs and palette-based image formats.

- Graphics acceleration was generally slow so smooth animations were out.

- Image creation/editing tools were practically non-existent and digital cameras were rare so it makes sense that the resulting pages that have had designed assets were scary-looking.
I think it may be true that they may suffer the law better than their competitors. But I think if it was likely that they would benefit absolutely, they'd be in favor of the law, or at least ambivalent, rather than strongly opposed. Don't you?
Ctrl-F Testosterone - was disappoint.

> Outsourcing a doc to a SaaS seems like something I would never do if I cared about the product/software.

I'm inclined to agree, however I could see the argument for it if you are printing money (so even something expensive like readme.io [no affiliation] is inconsequential) and you've got something in place to keep everything up to date, and the docs are well integrated to your new engineering hire onboarding.
I don't think the link tax will have any real implications. Any individual party that starts charging for links will simply not be liked to. It would only work if an entire industry/sector would start charging for links to them, but then we are talking about collusion and price-fixing which is already illegal. It's hard to start demanding money for something that was free and costs you nothing.

And the link tax has excemptions for plain hyperlinks and the like, which prevents most distopian uses of such a provision.

If google acts on this it will be because they know this was written with them in mind and if nothing happens stricter laws will follow. But for everyone else it will be a non-issue.

Upload filters on the other hand are a much bigger problem, mostly because copyright law is way to strict to make them reasonable.

Copyright owners have successfully lobbied with the argument: "It is soooo much effort to go after each case, and these platforms make it so easy to infringe they are essentially complicit".

And now we are stuck with upload filters.
An upload filter is censorship by another name. Have you written a text critical of the government and haven't copyrighted it? Congratulations, the state now has and issued a "copyright filter" on your manifesto.
That would be interesting if it were true, but it isn't. I'm old enough to remember newspapers and news stories from 20 years ago, and they were shit.
There are some projects going on to do just that. Another (now dead) comment mentioned Zeronet, which is a good start. There's also IPFS, and some other lesser known ones. I think there were some based on Ethereum and other crypto as well.

The problem with all of these projects is content. Because there is low usage and a technical barrier to entry, nobody is bothering to put up interesting content that would attract users. (Except for some, ahem, "fringe" interests.) It's a chicken-and-egg problem. I keep hoping that one of these regulations will rekindle interest in distributed hosting, but it hasn't happened yet.

If some advocates would be willing to convince (and possibly help) some major OSS-related resources to establish a beachhead, it might help draw in some of that crowd at least. Adoption there would probably improve the systems, gradually bringing in people from the outside like with the original Internet.
This already is in progress on Youtube (an Alphabet company). There is significant push to onboard the well known cable news brands on Youtube, on preferential conditions as compared to the regular, individual youtubers.
Eating less is not good advice if you want to build muscle. Frail elderly people often don't eat enough, or lack fiber, for example because their teeth hurt. Appetite also declines with age.
Hi,

thanks for the feedback. I have adjusted the FAQ to have it left aligned.

Glad you like the logo, it is now quite all over the place so I am looking into making a standard position based on space. Will look into thicken the lines, but personally I like to have it as "unnoticeable" as possible but on the other hand it is the identifier of the product so have to check.

Thanks

American automatic transmissions were historically much better than European ones. GM automatic transmission were used everywhere for a long time. I had a 2000 BMW 328Ci with a GM transmission.

Nowadays the ZF automatic transmission from Germany is one of the best around. Thankfully my Grand Cherokee has an 8 speed ZF instead of an unreliable Chrysler 5-speed.
Please forgive me if I'm being dense, but I was asking for a source to the claim that ShapeShift (in particular, since you singled them out above) could "easily" be used to launder "millions of dollars." After reading through these links, I'm still not convinced. Only one link you listed mentions ShapeShift, which to some credit, suggests a theoretical, many-step, multi-blockchain process for using ShapeShift in such a way.

My understanding still hasn't changed that "moving large amounts [with ShapeShift before AML/KYC] was difficult, impractical, slow, and exposed to a lot of market value risk," but I'm interested in evidence to the contrary.

Right, will arXiv implement such filters? Same question for other green or gold OA platforms. We all know about Elsevier, but if I put my paranoid hat then for gold OA this is even more perverse, will they try to kill green OA (not that I believe in this failed classification which separates between green "repositories" for archiving and gold publication platforms). Anyway arXiv is a monument which has to be protected from this madness.

What about distributed systems without central control? Will the new laws force them to introduce filtering into the software (which could e.g. be open source and forkable by anyone)? Or does this only apply to systems with a centralized repository?

I'm curious how this is supposed to work.

Am I missing something or is the article just giving a name to very generic muscle loss and saying that one can workout and get enough protein to combat it?

Introduction to systems thinking
It doesn't, but all the science behind the pills does. They weren't created for no reason.
That's obviously correct, but it seems weird to use a different metric for market share and lock-in. If you define Google's customers as ad buyers, then they're very much not a monopoly, have way less than 91% market share, and their competitiors don't have a lack of users.

If they have a monopoly on search because of their share of searches, then surely the relevant lock-in would be how easily users of search can move to competitors?
I was wondering the same thing then read in the article that links with 'single word' descriptions are ok. So my guess is that it's aimed a "linkers" who quote a significant fraction of an article (I.e. eliminating the reason to click on the link)
I recently attempted to buy dinner at my brother's wedding (in the middle of the USA) from a food truck. I was unable to because they only accepted transactions from corporate people on behalf of actual people (credit cards). They would not accept any form of payment (or even let you order) if you were just an actual human.

Not accepting cash is a form of economic racism. And it's slowly creating sunset towns where normal people trying to transact with other people aren't allowed. You have to have a corporation vouch for you.
Google News for Spain certainly closed in response to that law. I guess that Google News for other countries then also doesn’t link to spanish newspapers, since those could still somehow sue google as a company that operates in Spain.
Yes, there is one key presupposition there, that we actually are going to live forever in some way.

I manifestly do not care what the absolute values are for minimum wage, fees, various tax rates, government spending, etc.

I want a SimCity for IRL policy.

Policy makers first simulate their proposals. Then repeat their experiments in the real world.

First a little, then a lot.

Hypothesis, experiment, evaluate. Rinse, lather, repeat.

As circumstances change and new ideas crop up, better strategies displace old strategies.

It was pretty amazing to me that you could do WYSIWYG (wow, that's an anachronism itself!) valid HTML development, and then hand-manipulate the HTML and it let you put any invalid shit in there without complaining.
What do you mean by credible? They are asking for:

To... halt the 5G RF-EMF expansion until independent scientists can assure that 5G... not be harmful

To appoint...independent, truly impartial EMF & health scientists... to re-evaluate the health risks and...study the total and cumulative exposure

Among other things, they are asking for scientific voice in the public policy space rather than the only voice being corporate lobbyists. What's wrong with this again?
> I believe the law is made with good intentions in mind

I disagree, no other utility is blamed for the actions of its users, if I use an electric drill to hurt some one I am at fault not my electricity provider, but if I do something illegal on the internet like piracy its some how my internet providers fault?

I also don't like making excuses for policy makers who "don't understand the internet", its not the 90s, ignorance is no longer an excuse, these people know what the internet is, and they know exactly what they are doing.
Well in mathematics and physics the usual thing to do is to first post on arXiv and then submit to the journal. ArXiv references are totally allowed. I heard that the situation is different in other fields but as you say this is not relevant for this discussion.
The point is that, overall, the requirements of the directive must be met

Your example is actually a good one: The Netherlands might have added that the document must be legalised but their law still matches the directive's requirement and the added restriction is neither unreasonable nor onerous and might keep in line with the country's practices.

The bottom line is that those who hope that transposition will change the directive in any meaningful way are going to be sorely disappointed.
Let's talk about how with iOS you can't change the default web browser, email, or calendar apps? If you remove Mail.app, install something like Airmail, and then click on a mail link, you're prompted to reinstall Mail.app.

> Actually this proposal was a commission proposal, so the democratic deficit here is that this proposal could have gone through, EVEN IF it was voted out.

No! If the parliament had rejected the proposal, then the "ball" would have come back to the Commission, which would have had to amend their proposal, pass it through the Council again, and if successful, returned it to the Parliament, which would be again given the choice of rejecting or passing the amended proposal. (This is similar to what happens in other entities/countries with bicameral legislatives — e.g. the US senate vs. the House of Representatives.) Importantly, without the EU Parliament's approval, the proposal could never become law.
Is "openness" really a sufficiently specific attribute to either ascribe it or not ascribe it to one of those huge tech conglomerates?

They are all "open" where it suits them and closed where it doesn't. I think what we can observe is that these days it suits Microsoft to be open in more areas than it used to.
> ... Stanford Hospital ...

The times I’ve used them, the original bill was so outrageous I fumed for days.

Insurance paid ~$15K and they billed me for my entire OOP max for the year ($7,500) for a service that cost about $400 tops to provide.

Contested the bill and they do a medical review of the coding. They had billed as “intensive care” the administration of a single shot and a standard blood count.

They actually came back and claimed the coding was correct! Kept fighting it for about 6 months and they ended up dropping the entire thing at no cost. But they still got to keep the insurance payout.

Just another form of price gouging / variable pricing which should be illegal.
Just extending your thought farther, why have police then as well? Shouldn't an individual protect themselves? If I am stronger then you and you can't protect your rights does that mean I am now right by taking them away for myself? If everyone was required to protect their own rights things would get messy fast.
I do look forward to the day, and I believe it will come, where companies and individuals will be handsomely fined for any false copyright claims.
