I honestly think that article 11 and 13 will grow more decentralized options. Peertube is only federated, so it won't benefit as much as it could, but it will still help. If the platform is responsible for copyright, then it will definitely be easier to just burn that server and then spin up a new one. Just my 2 cents

Oh I remember this. Dumbass had no idea what kind of issue he had on his hands and just blew it off not realizing the level of blowback and publicity that would occur if the whitehat decided to publicly announce it. Boggles the mind how these people get such high paying jobs.

This is happening in a lot of countries, right under people’s noses and they don’t even know it.

Even places you would never think, like Italy and yes, even the United States.

(Sorry there’s no link. I tried to Google some of the recent newspaper articles I’ve read about it, but it’s simply not possible to search Google with the word “Chinese” on mobile and get anything but restaurant listings and reviews.)
CNN actually achieved the destruction of the press, getting an opposing (right wing) media source banned from multiple platforms.
Its been a long time since Ive seen such a spread in technological capability and economic practicality.

Decentralization has all these fascinating bits and pieces but not a single consumer will care unless the consumer is another dev. Id argue blockchain falls into the same category. What we need are folks who can build products whose economics need these tools without having to promote the implementation as the differentiating factor.

IOW all this stuff will succeed when we no longer have to mention the word “distributed”.
I agree, but that's where we're headed.

Wait, Dart is still a thing? Can I write Flutter apps in any other language? I've had a look at a few pages to understand which language Flutter uses, but it hasn't mentioned Dart yet (apart from the .dart extension in the Getting Started example).

Sorry, yes it does - 'Dart language and core libs'.
If you walked into Starbucks every day and took most of the sugar packets so that they're aren't enough for all the other customers, proclaiming "they should've charged $0.10 each!" when caught would probably not earn you much sympathy from the regular customers.
> it can never be ethically acceptable that people are killed or seriously injured when moving within the road transport system

This is the part I don't agree with. What makes it unethical that people die while choosing to participate in a somewhat dangerous activity? Sure, we could halve all of the speed limits and put speed cameras everywhere. We could also force people to wear face helmets and kneepads when riding their bike, and wear a life jacket while swimming. But I don't think we should do any of those things since people should have the freedom to take reasonable risks.

Do not use it for any serious project. It is Google, they will probably abandon it. Google has ADHD.
> The CI is pretty but it's definitely not a polished product, e.g. the job progress indicators are unreliable on most pages,

I agree with this, they need to do a better job of updated those circular indicators.

> the "retry" functionality for failed jobs periodically does nothing which forces developers to touch their branch with a push to trigger a rebuild,

Not sure when you last used their CI, but I've never experienced this issue.

> the horribly named "tags" feature is a source of constant confusion for developers new to gitlab who are trying to trigger jobs based on git tags only to discover that "tags" in gitlab-ci have literally no relationship to "tags" in the sense of tagging a git commit.

A tag created through the GitLab web GUI is directly connected to `git tag`

> It's also impossible to do something as simple as trigger a job only for tagged commits on a specific branch or skip certain steps in the pipeline based on what happens at job run time. I like many other aspects of gitlab but the CI is definitely less than ideal.

This is particularly relevant from my particular perspective. Maybe you could call me a trans worker- I have pretty successfully transitioned from a full-time marketing and sales person to a mostly developer, partially product person over the past several years. I really love and hate both sides of the work, but I'm glad to have walked in so many shoes. There is rigor that marketers and sales folks face that most engineers would not succeed at. Despite the fact that you only see them in meetings, they do a remarkable amount of work to make things not go off the rails, and most of it is invisible. Sales heavy firms do tend to close first, engineer later, and that generally results in terrible deliverables. Conversely, engineering heavy firms are notorious for delivering products that feature everything and deliver little to no (perceived, ie actual) value.

My assertion is that it truly takes all kinds. I find it remarkable that Evernote can serve 225M people with 500. I think that the people who give effort to find the genius in every department themselves become enlightened.
At Vegas sports books I have personally seen tickets invalidated due to error. It is not just FanDuel, this practice happens industry wide.
That's a dumb analogy and bordering on being disingenuous. He's not barring women from something...you know that. And the people that he plays with are not his employees. You know that too.
I continue to worry that housing supply might need to be addressed in most major urban areas for basic income type proposals to work at all.
It is so confusing as the pattern of:

1. Dude contacts you.

2. You fail to work with him / or just don't.

3. It becomes public and you look like idiots.

That pattern is so established that every security executive should know you want to avoid that... but nope, some run headlong into it.

I'm no security dude at all, and I can recognize that pattern just from reading the news. What on earth is an executive reading if they have no idea?
Ironically this "use or lose it" system ends up creating a lot of crap just to keep a hold of the rights. For example, the movie rights to Fantastic Four.
It was a simple mistake, actually. If I had to do it again, I should have used "she" at the beginning of the sentence and "he" at the end to emphisise the transition.

I wouldn't say I fixed my pronoun use. I used the term that properly identified the person I was speaking about.

Thoughtcrime is something to me that has a very high standard for use. I personally wouldn't apply it to those who wish to be referred to by there chosen gender. IIRC it was government that applied the label, not individuals or groups in society.

Why do you mentiong a potential future gender transition? Is there a rash of gender flip-flopers (I couldn't think up a better term!) that make this concerning?

This is something that makes google look better, because not only is it a tool that seems like it has enough momentum that it won't get abandoned, it also brings a forgotten Google product, the Dart programming language, back into the limelight.
You could give your money to charity rather than spend it on making yourself happy. That doesn’t mean you’re evil or promoting inefficiency in any meaningful sense.
I am moving away from Google as fast as I can in most areas. Every time I bird-dog one of their products I am ultimately let down. There is no way I can trust anything they build at this point. I wish it were different as they have some really good ideas, they are just the worst when it comes to follow through for the long haul.
I'm not a libertarian, I just think the current speed limits should be increased to the speed people actually drive at, and then enforced. Speed differential is a big component of what makes driving dangerous, rather than just speed itself. 120km/h-130km/h is not excessively fast on a highway when everyone else is going that speed. If you don't want to take the risk of going on fast roads, that's fine, just take country roads or slower city roads, pretty much the only risk you have is crashing on your own.
I've never understood why the people who complain about this don't just fork and start a new community, which will a priori be much better (er, right?).
It is definitely true that accounting is not at all straightforward, it's actually really challenging to figure out what's really going on in an enterprise, it's not just some arithmetic.

Which is why an accountant who is good at figuring out what's really going on is so valuable.

An accountant who specializes in making the numbers tell the story the CEO wants them to tell is not an accountant who can tell you anything useful about the company's financials. If you just want propaganda/marketting instead of accounting I guess that's fine, so long as you don't end up going to jail for it.

That things are open to interpretation doesn't mean there's no difference between trying to figure out what's going on, and trying to spin it to what you'd like to be going on.

Like a boss whose reports only tell him what he wants to hear. I'd tell the "what story do you want them to tell" guy -- what would I pay you for if you're just going to tell me the story I already know I'd like to be true?

Of course, plenty of people do pay that guy, because they're just trying to put one over on everyone else.
Media reported that he "may have been poisoned with strychnine", but there's no official diagnose yet.

EDIT: I'm badly mistaken. It was reported about Russian-British couple in Salisbury. I've got confused, since there are three different poisonings being discussed in the media daily. Normal day in Russia(
Interestingly enough we have a great example of limited copyright protections for musicians in China that are still fabulously wealthy and successful. Their wealth is generated through performing/concerts, advertising, etc while their music is freely available for streaming/download.
"Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking" is probably a better example, if not nearly as musically satisfying.

As an audio professional, I think you’ll find some interest, but it will be limited. Massive channel count can be useful in beam forming cases (e.g. Shure MXA910 array ceiling panel) or spatialization/impulse-representation cases (e.g. Meyer constellation).

I do think that consumer mic array representation could be valuable eventually, but you’re going to need to beat the costs of ADC’s and simple multiplexed front ends. An FPGA is an expensive way to do that at volume (think ASIC).

Consider per-channel gain stages for dynamic range enhancement...
In countries like China musicians make their money through performances, not through recordings. The two aren't comparable.
Atiyah to present a proof of Riemann Hypothesis
As bad as it is, I'd consider it something of a victory considering the only reason I clicked the HN link to this discussion was my cognitive expectation in yet another defeat for copyright law pessimistically substituted "end" with "extend," and evoked a defeatist reaction that I might come here to bathe in sorrow.

Once I started reading the article and comments I was really confused until I reread the title very slowly to catch my mistake in perception. I guess we really do see the world through our own predecided lenses of reality and choose how an internal narrative will match any evidence in support or censor in defense.

Or rather, that's only me. And I hope to overcome that with (un)learning. :D
You are exaggerating, but, yeah, most civilians don't know the difference between a Bradley fighting vehicle and a tank.

When I was a kid, my cousin and I would lay in the grass in the front yard and watch the house across the street and basically spin the slightest shadow or bit of wind or what not into some tall tale for entertainment, being very serious and like we were actually onto some X Files style mystery and had the detective skills of Sherlock Holmes.

I don't have a goal to "improve things" sometimes and in this particular case I just don't care. it really isnt a conundrum and it's not a silent protest, I just ignore the copyright without a thought and continue on with my day.

Why do you think those that still show a gap are undercorrecting rather than those that are not showing a gap are overcorrecting?

I am not sure what corrections should be made to data comparing people with the same job at the same company. If your job has nothing to do with negotiating then your ability and/or willingness to negotiate shouldn't be the deciding factor in what compensation you receive.
I moved here 2.5 months ago and I'm so glad I did. It's a huge metropolis where one can comfortably live without owning a car. On top of that, it has one of the lowest crime rates among the world's big cities:

If I have got the facts correct, most authors derive any income from their works in the first 3.5 years. Organisations like Disney et al are not authors but are gatekeepers and hence any benefit that they derive from copyright should be eliminated.

Hence, copyright should be a maximum of 7 years, consisting of 3.5 years initial and a explicitly asked for 3.5 years extension. Go back to the officially request copyright and if not done it is automatically public domain.

This would be the most beneficial to authors and the public as we really need to discount any benefit to the gatekeepers.

There are jurisdictions where an author cannot legally commit his/her work into the public domain as the law forces protections they do not want on to them.
When I see stories like this, I think of this editorial written by Lasantha Wickrematunge, a leading Sri Lankan journalist, to be printed in the event of his being killed:

And Then They Came For Me

No other profession calls on its practitioners to lay down their lives for their art save the armed forces and, in Sri Lanka, journalism. In the course of the past few years, the independent media have increasingly come under attack. Electronic and print-media institutions have been burnt, bombed, sealed and coerced. Countless journalists have been harassed, threatened and killed. It has been my honour to belong to all those categories and now especially the last. ...

It's a powerful essay that challenges not only authorities but also simplistic hero/villain narratives about them, about journalists, and about their readers. Highly recommended:

If you remember nothing else, remember this: The [Sunday] Leader is there for you, be you Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim, low-caste, homosexual, dissident or disabled. Its staff will fight on, unbowed and unafraid, with the courage to which you have become accustomed. Do not take that commitment for granted. Let there be no doubt that whatever sacrifices we journalists make, they are not made for our own glory or enrichment: they are made for you. Whether you deserve their sacrifice is another matter. As for me, God knows I tried.
I think it's a great write-up. Didn't mean to disparage your work.
In what sense? I keep improving as a programmer (a lot, like my skills have gotten so much better since quitting). You contribute to open source. You read shit from your reading list. You can make time to meet people if you feel like talking to someone. The possibilities are infinite.

That is, Flutter is shooting up and overtaking Xamarin but still only half the popularity of React Native. This also roughly correlates with mentions on Google Trends:

On job websites React Native is way ahead - which you would expect given React Native's headstart. For example, www.jobstreet.co.id currently has 43 jobs for "React Native" but only 5 for "Flutter".

I was very depressed for a very long time. Here is my philosophy.

First, I have learned to define depression as “A captulation to loss of control.” By that I mean, to be depressed you must (a) feel like your life sucks and (b) believe you can’t do anything about it.

This is effectively the story of the elephant who spent it’s life chained to a wall who, when the chain was removed, still acted like it was chained to the wall.

The cure to feeling out of control is to systematically start controlling small things and then working up to large things.

My method to get out of depression goes like this:

Wake up.
Get out of bed.
Make my bed (easy to control).
Brush my teeth.
Take a shower.
Get coffee.
Clean my room.
Clean & vacuum my house.
...(other stuff).
Address the thing that is actually bothering me.

After that point I add more and more challenging things. It is a ramp, from small and local to prove to myself I control my environment up to things that are really bothering me.

I call this my “stop being anxious and depressed plan” and I
do the plan. By the time I am up to item 5 I start to feel better.

Life is very, very complicated. Depression is very hard because it is frequently the result of multiple things at once that create a self fulfilling feedback loop.

The most important thing I ever learned was “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.” This is effectively the practice of arguing yourself out of limiting or negative beliefs.

If you are as depressed as I used to be, you are infested with lots of negative beliefs that are preprogrammed. To stop being depressed you need to trap and eliminate all these little beliefs.

CBT was the turning point for me, after that I stopped being depressed forever.

Upgrading error handling is great, but Go has the worst approach on doing it.
Yes, and when you automate too many things with other people's labor it ends up getting expensive. Even if you have money, its not really much time savings - 30 minutes a week?

The point here is for even an above average worker the daily expectations of the modern lifestyle can overwhelm even a budget minded person, or a couple with kids.
Well, if there are zero consequences to failure, why spend money preventing it? Maybe it does benefit companies in that position.

Hi there, the source for these numbers is the StackOverflow API. Just to clarify, the chart we have in the blog is showing question _views_, not questions tagged. There are more questions for other frameworks still (since they're more mature technologies), but we're seeing lots of views of questions tagged with Flutter.
Are you frustrated with the way Android apps are developed? Tired of amount of time to get simple list working? Writing lot of boiler plate code only to update list from a dialog box? Ever got scared of implementing a navigation drawer or a fragment? Did you left Android development because the time and code to implement it was way greater than expected? Tired of handling life cycles?

Sorry for being dramatic but if you answered yes to any of those give a try to Flutter! You will be surprised of how fast you can develop an app for mobile with descent UI. Thank me later!

I've found that if you are using an older phone then you will certainly notice that Flutter is not as smooth as a native app. However, I know the Flutter team have made a lot of progress with performance so it may not be so bad.

Three largish apps you can try are:

1. The Alibaba app:

Everyone keeps saying that automation will mean we have/get to work less. People were saying it in 1900. People were saying it in 1950. People were saying it in 2000. People are saying it in 2018. Still waiting for those unemployment numbers to not be the lowest they've been in recent history.

Turns out people rather like working, at least more than the alternative. Most jobs suck. I'm not hoping for or expecting a future without jobs; I'm hopeful for a future with better jobs.

Russia wasn't called. The local commander of American forces called the local Russian commanding officer, and asked them whether the advancing columns were theirs. They said no. He then ordered a strike on the column, deeming it hostile (and rightly so). After that, Russian command started frantically calling back and demanding that the attack stop.
