Or you learn how to make the toy problem that has the same behavior as what you are trying to model. If you don't understand how to simplify problems, you end up just chucking the computation at it and calling it a day. If you have a solution to the basic problem you can give yourself a warm start.
> It would be great if a superior alternative existed but other search engines don't come close.

I disagree. I use DDG and vast majority of cases fall into one of two scenarios:

1. I can find what I'm searching for on

2. I can't find it neither with DDG nor with Google.

Typically the difference between them is that Google shows what I seek as the first result, while DDG shows it on the first page of results - that's pretty darn close if you ask me.

And then there are cases where DDG is actually superior to Google. A few times I couldn't find something on Google, but the "a few results were removed" message hinted that they don't show me some pages, most likely due to something like DMCA. Somehow DDG (probably because it is smaller and goes under the radar) would then often provide the results I was seeking.
But wait, is there such a thing as a quantum computer?
"a right to have problems dealt with at zero monetary cost for a reasonable period of time in line with the sticker price"

isn't this a "guarantee for faulty goods"?

"Under EU rules you always have the right to a minimum 2-year guarantee at no cost, regardless of whether you bought your goods online, in a shop or by mail order."

The shining beacon of enlightenment values that is europe is basically looking the other way and actively offshoring the responsibility of keeping the poor away even when it means they die. And that is under current-day conditions. If things get worse then this may shift to active support for such policies.

Trump's border wall is a reality around europe.

So if mass migrations happen things will get really really ugly.
On the contrary, how can you rationalize locking up an innocent person unless you believe they will be redeemed at The End?
But I can't turn my smartglasses around and show someone the memes I'm looking at. I don't see how it could replace my phone. Compliment perhaps, but having used Google Glass Enterprise I don't think it's as big of a game changer as you might think.
To treat what you wrote as counterpoint to previous commenter you'd have to claim that inventors are far less knowledgeable, experienced and younger than musicians.
There's no mention of religion in the laws I cited.

Some digging got me https://www.verkaufsoffener-sonntag.com/ladenoeffnungszeiten..., which tells a history of shopping time in Germany (although I don't know how accurate). There are minor differences on the wiki page about the same topic (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laden%C3%B6ffnungszeit#Geschic...)

According to that page the first laws of that kind in Germany were established in 1900 and were amended by exemptions for grocery stores - and jewish shops (to open on sunday instead of saturday).

Merchants (presumably including the jewish ones? that article doesn't tell) worked out a new scheme in 1911-1919 that introduced common closing times and the "calm sunday" to coordinate opening hours.
While there were other changes in the meantime (mostly around closing hours), the Sunday provision stuck since then.

(Also note that there are separate laws for working hours and shop opening hours. The citations up-thread were about working hours, while this post refers to shop opening hours)

There was a constitutional court decision ~10 years ago as the state of Berlin (shop opening hours are a state matter) decided to relax the rules. "10 Sundays across the year, and all Sundays in December" (in the lead-time to Christmas) were supposed to be shopping days. The churches sued, and while religious aspects came up as well, the main thrust was about the social state principle (ie. "One full month with no mandated rest leads to exploitation"), and so the rules where tightened somewhat.

I guess a state could enact per-shop rules (ie that a shop could decide to open up to 6 days a week as to their choosing, and to avoid exploiting the regulation, the schedule must be held up for at least a year).

As Berlin seems to be the hub of Jewish life in Germany, that looks like a good place to lobby for that, but that would also require some changes to §9 / §10 ArbzG as linked upthread as an open shop on sunday without people working there is rather useless.
> Either way, just like with movie and TV, I'll happily pay for streaming if the selection is there.

Which is why I don't. No King Crimson, no cool small alternative bands, and no good way to find out of the bands you like are on spotify before getting a subscription. Furthermore: the service pays fuck all to artists. I may as well use the money to go to their concerts and buy merch directly from the artists.
> Even the sheet music is still copyrighted, because you want modern notation, not photographs of the originals.

And you can very easily find them.
Most moderately well-known compositions have been transcribed into pdf using modern typography (say, with lilypond) and uploaded to imslp and similar sites.
I don't quite follow the math. Why would only 1 person exit the pool in the one case and 2 in the other?
Is this even technically illegal? Is framing someone a crime?
We're just moving the entire company to OpenJDK come November.

Looking like it'll be a pretty seemless transition actually.
Yes. However, if the music is out of copyright that creates a free market in recordings of the music so it leads to there being budget recordings available.

Personally I am interested in the notes, so I'll point out that most of the sheet music for Bach and Vivaldi is in fact under copyright. If you want something out of copyright then you have to get a facsimile of an old edition. Or something that was typeset by an amateur, which will almost certainly be crap because typesetting music takes a lot of skill to do well.
I'd say in modern fast entertainment economy it should be more like 2 than 20.
I don't think the author of this article is really familiar with its subject. It's certainly not the case that "any security expert you ask will recognize the value of DNSSEC", or that we can all agree that it's a good thing. I'm far from the only security person saying DNSSEC is a very bad thing.

https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/01/15/against-dnssec/

The roundup of implementation hurdles is gratifying to see (I missed the LWN article about it), since I think it's an under-appreciated cost of getting DNSSEC deployed.

As always, the biggest obstacle to DNSSEC is that it solves a problem nobody really cares about.
Not even going as far as IT, just labour laws are already 10x more complex and difficult to follow compared to GDPR.
>Stream-ripping users are more likely to say that they rip music so they have music to listen to offline. This means they can avoid paying for a premium streaming subscription,

This doesn't make sense. A premium subscription service doesn't give you access offline, and usually won't help with cellular data caps.
You can pay for files. Just noone offers it.
I believe only once has someone who invited a problem user been banned. That inviter contributed a feature to disable invitations and was unbanned. But I think the possibility also has a deterring effect that prompts people to exercise care.

Do you think the military, any military, would require employees to remove their social media profiles? I think so otherwise it seems to be poor planning considering the UK military used to get their squaddies to DoD wipe their hard drives before bringing any computer equipment back from Germany to the UK in the 80's/90's.

I wonder if the Russia rhetoric is just a Cold War 2.0 rhetoric designed to stimulate economic activity and innovation, whilst testing relevant bodies in the UK. Its nearly ten years since the SEC was caught watching porn before the financial crisis kicked off. Familiarity breeds contempt etc etc.
Any comparison with the Indian system is futile. Basically people hop on to <insert the flavor of the times technology> every few years, mindlessly. I'm told there are now tens of thousands of people taking ML/AI, blockchain etc courses in IT services firms. A while back it was cloud computing, before that Grid(Hadoop/Pig/Oozie), before that Python...

At the end any new technology trend only has only 2 - 3 years, before people flood it and dilute both quality and wages.

The education system is another mess, which no one can clean up because the education system is designed to address literacy skills at scale(quantity), not quality.

Other big problem in the Indian system is endless optimization towards exams/interviews. Go to any OJ site on the internet and you see people even from Ivy Leagues(IITs etc) and NIT's flooding the site all day doing interview related algo work instead of focussing on their day jobs.

Its not just Python, tomorrow some thing else could be famous and you can see thousands, may be even tens of thousands of people learning it in India in a few months/years. This is regardless of the merit of the technology.
> nor your plane

Agreed with car - not sure I agree with plane.

Currently we have fission powered submarines and boats. Putting a fission reactor in a plane would be somewhat suicidal, but a fusion reactor would be mostly safe. A large plane is similar in scale to a submarine.
>> The best solution would be not to have kids

Many countries use immigration to stop population falling. The increased co2 from 1 person moving from a developing -> developed country would pretty much cancel this out.
That's usually the approach taken when you let people vote on non-standard devices that:
1. Will be reused after
2. Do not have any additional protection other than simple android updates, not connected through internet though.
But in that case I'd say the problem would be in the phase of delivering those devices, and after, when the results will be printed on a file on an USB that will be moved to other places. This process happened in Italy around one years ago for a referendum vote.
It’s not about tinkering. If right to repair was a thing, you wouldn’t tinker, you would take your broken apple product to somewhere that can repair it for you.

What you’re proposing is much more reliant on apple than right to repair would be.
It's ass-backwards (any law that makes 40% or more of the population a potential target of financially-disruptive lawsuits is not a reasonable law), but let's not get hung up on technical aspects of copying. It's obvious that ISP routing copies, and similar types of copying, involve transient copies that are quickly discarded and not consumed by anyone. The case law actually recognizes this difference. Legally, "copying" a work means meaningful copying, not merely copying data from one place in memory to another place in memory where it stays for a while until it's freed or garbage collected and then overwritten.
Fragmentation is what causing the rise in movie and tv piracy, if I was to guess. For years piracy have been declining in Denmark, this past year is the first time is started to rise again. The same year where Netflix as been losing a ton of content.

Fragmentation is a huge problem, and I don’t understand it. Why do you care about managing your own streaming platform. Just licens everything at a price you believe to be fair and let the platforms fight to provide the best experience. As a music, TV or movie studio you’re the only one that sure to make money.
There are a WIP portals that would instead of giving access to the whole filesystem or the whole devices list a prompt for the user to allow access to a specific device or a specific system feature.
Let's take for example a Music player, you can give it access to `xdg-music` folder only. But the users will start complaining about the fact their music is stored somewhere else and they would want a full access to their home folder or to the devices list to play music from an external hard drive or whatever.
Things are not perfect yeah, but many of those apps were not made with a sandboxed env in mind. There are a bunch of new apps that were created with that in mind and use those portals features. Things are getting better, slowly maybe but surely! The Flatpak packages will improve with time and we will be getting a better way of distributing apps safely and easily on Linux.
Reminds me of the fake Apple stores all over China that were closed a few years ago. Interior design was copied, Geniuses with the shirts, and so on. This article [1] mentions 22 stores in one city:

Because our technology doesn't magically appear out of nowhere. Even the simple DIY "lifehack" you can assemble from $5 worth of RadioShack parts has huge supply chains hidden behind it, staffed by hundreds of thousands of people. On top of that, all those supply chains are full of circular dependencies. A chip needs a fab. A fab needs computers. Computers need chips... and screws. Screws need metal and precision manufacturing machines. Precision manufacturing machines need computers and screws. Metal mining needs computer and screws. Etc.

If the climate situation gets to the point of crashing global supply chains, say goodbye to all modern technology. Whatever's left will degrade quickly, and we'll be back to preindustrial levels, but with no easily accessible dense energy sources to bootstrap another industrial revolution.

This is why I keep saying that the most important goal right now is not to protect the planet, not to protect the human species, but to protect our technological civilization. If it collapses, we'll still be there (albeit in reduced numbers). But our civilization won't recover for millennia.
SMS is an absolutely unacceptable system to require for authentication. I just went overseas and got locked out of half the apps on my phone. Some of them permanently. Tinder now bans your account for life if you ever change phone numbers.

I suppose if it's just one option then it's okay.

Why? In what other area does the public automaticallt get a right to something someone else created?
One thing I like to do to motivate myself and get stuff done is mini-hackathons. Its essentially a mixture of setting time aside and gamyfication. Essentially you have a task and you challenge yourself to get a workable solution complete within a short period of time, say 15 min or an hour, or maybe even a day... really depends on the task. Basically a hackathon but for a shorter period of time and maybe smaller predefined task.
Haters gonna hate.

Oracle made OpenJDK functionally equal to OracleJDK (including previously commercial only java flight recorder and mission control), but people still complain. At first I thought this was an issue in Oracle's communication strategy, but I started to think this is ignorance on the receivers end.

Hey everyone,

I’m a Front-end/JavaScript developer and web development instructor at General Assembly in London. Over the years I’ve seen lots of students who struggle to find projects to practice on once they’ve learned the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

So I built Frontend Mentor as a place where people can come to improve their front-end skills whilst using a real-life workflow. Each challenge provides mobile & desktop designs, assets, starter code, project brief, and a front-end style guide. The rest is up to the individual.

All challenges are free and there’s a Slack community if you need any help on one of the projects.

I’ve literally just launched this last week, so I’d love some feedback if you can spare the time.

Thanks for taking a look!
The multiple small companies tracking limited pieces of info about you would anyway be happy to sell and share that for money, this is partly how those huge DMP databases are built.

Doesn't that require you to trust that they release the funds? Do smart contracts have a way to dispute an outcome?

Frequently I do the same - fork, fix, or change, and I'll rarely push it back. Mostly, I don't want to deal with the community, egos, or icons.

A couple of decades ago, it was really bad. I'd keep email addresses and pseudonyms separate for the various projects I was involved in, if only to contribute and not impact my life.
To this day, when I push something, I release it as MIT for this reason. Anything I put out there is free for you to scratch your itch, the same way I scratched mine. There's no need to share it back, or file an issue - maintain your own. That way, there's no need to worry about goals or personalities clashing.
I am guessing you are not suggesting that the goal with meditation is to achieve cold hands, so maybe you are assuming that my heart rate goes up or something similar. However, I can assure you that is not the case.

There are theories that Raynaud's syndrome (unreasonably cold hands and feet) can be triggered by stress and so one could hypothesize that the opposite holds true as well. That may be related, or it may not be. I am just pointing out that such a simplistic view of something so extremely complex like our bodies can be misleading.
The saddest part being that the film industry is even further behind. Some contents are still totally unreachable by any legal offer outside their home country.

What is your opinion on handshake.org? I am excited about it’s potential even though it has a massive uphill battle to gain adoption. The main reason why I’m excited about it is because it could also be used as a cryptographic identity that’s compatible with the old system.
but then does that mean you’ll need to manually log incoming ip from the header ? or is there a way to see them in the default logs of either the cluster or the load balancer ?
I have read rumors to the effect that our own rogue elements in the spy agencies are exploiting these known vulnerabilities. It seems not everyone is on the same team in our own government, which totally sucks, but it has been that way for a long time.

It is also about price though. I'd "rent" a lot more movies online if the price were the same as when I rented them on DVD, like fifty cents per day. However it costs like four Euros to stream a movie from Prime Video.
That's not an excuse. Or at least not any better than someone stealing organs because legal ones are so hard to come by.

As long as the law allows Apple to restrict the supply then what they're doing is just immoral, not illegal. What those fraudsters are doing though is both. They're not stealing just to fix their own phones, they're not doing it as a "public service", they're stealing to line their pockets.

Pretty sure that if someone stole from you the excuse above wouldn't be acceptable regardless of the circumstances.

That's a common trope in Science Fiction. But modern technology is different from the Iron Age. It uses vastly less energy for the same result; its honestly simpler in many regards than what came before.

Sure there are dependencies, and some technologies will collapse and become unachievable for generations. But others are essentially free of dependencies - the germ theory of disease, the staff system, democracy, air travel, bicycles. Easy to bring back or keep, and with tremendous benefits.

I've always been sad that post-apocalyptic scenarios have no bicycles, and no biplanes. They just postulate people being the same as people were in the stone age, maybe with some recycled trash thrown in.
Same here. Whrn I can't (e.g. a foot of fresh snow), I feel really lethargic.
Safe maybe, but still restraining fusion is not something as easy as restraining fission. I'm still betting it won't happen in the next 150 years, even though I'd love to be proven wrong.

This would be amazing. Imagine picking your streaming service based on who has the best app / recommendations / social baked in (or whatever you were looking for). But from a friend that works in TV sales - the platforms fight and pay for the exclusives. If it's going to everyone - pass. That money helps film the new stuff. I guess music has an advantage in the respect that it doesn't really work like that - and it's much cheaper to record an album. That's why it's so frustrating when music services fragment.

There may be standardized contracts for certain things, I don't know. If I'm wrong and there are no good use cases for smart contracts, they won't be used. It seems reasonable that they will find a use case, though.
