I doubt most of those people who've bought into the notion that small businesses like Reddit and nonprofit services like Wikipedia would be affected have read the relevant text, considering the text specifically says nonprofits and small businesses are exempt [1] from the rules of Article 13 (the takedown one).

I'm also puzzled by the people saying it's difficult to comprehend. The hardest part is mentally joining the diffs in amendments to the static copy before a document is updated. EU legislation is not nearly as weasely as US, and likes to use precise terms it defines earlier in the document. Such is the case with the terms 'information society service' and 'online content sharing service provider' [2], whose exact definitions are relevant.

Well we do learn language that way, by hearing the same sounds over and over until we understand words and associations. There are lots of other examples of needing to have repetition for learning to sink in as well, from music to math to writing.
They succeed in replicating “half the time.” If they did a second replication trial, I wonder what the overlap of replicated studies with the first replication trial.
Is there a list of the successfully replicated experiments? I haven't been able to find it.

I think it's the Stanford marshmallow experiment in delayed gratification: children could take a single marshmallow immediately or wait a certain amount of time and get an additional reward. The results were tracked longitudinally for the participants, with positive life outcomes linked to those who were able to delay gratification as children.
Even in hard sciences, there are papers that everyone in the niche knows is false, but fear to speak out about or publish a paper refuting it for fear of their career being damaged.

My wife is a biochemist, and during her PhD they were working on an area of research with a handful of labs publishing about it. One lab in particular was known for a decent amount of questionable publications, but the PI was a big deal and no one would officially question anything. So they would whisper amongst each other and just ignore that paper (and all the additional papers built on top of it) because they all knew it was bullshit.
It's impossible for Joe ads buyer to price in fraud, because he doesn't actually know how much fraud is happening. Only Google/the other big exchanges have information to get even close to knowing how much fraud is happening and they have a vested interest in letting fraud slip through and not detecting.

And yes, Google cooperated in this specific case, but only after the problem got really bad. It's really hard to take a charitable view when Google, a large player in the ads space, and a company known for technical excellence, allows stuff like this to happen:

> An agency or advertiser looking to place an ad would only see the name of TBS.com in the ad exchange and not know they were buying ad space on a counterfeit site. Then the bots would visit the fake site and view the ad to generate revenue. (This technique of masquerading as a legitimate publisher is called domain spoofing. It’s a long-running issue, though a new standard called ads.txt [1] is helping curb it.)

This article (https://digiday.com/media/ft-warns-advertisers-discovering-h...) is a year and a half old. Google obviously had the resources to discover this years ago and failed to do so.

I fully understand this and would have been Pro DragonFly a few years before. Now that I have learned more, I am against it. And this post is possibly a ploy from China.

Why should Google join China, give away its IP one way or another, let CCP exerts its force on more Western Companies, and further strengthen its power in China and the world?

Does anyone has the slightly idea what the hell is going on inside CCP's mind? I wish the WTO had a new terms for anyone joining, the nation must allow democratic election after joining WTO. There is no such thing as free market in a one party system.

> somehow gotten away with doing what the rest of us cannot [...] the EU is telling them they aren't above the law, so of course they're unhappy

It is so unfortunate to see a lack of enforcement of existing statutes justify increasing the number of statutes. "Somehow" your company/municipality is subject to a law Reddit is not? And you wonder why that subjectivity exists? And instead of questioning the efficacy of the law or its enforcement you defend doubling down with the same approach?

And surely you recognize that an employee violating an existing law is different than a user of that company's materials doing so? Shall we go after copy machine companies next for not checking whether something can be copied before transferring it to paper?
It's a fair sentiment and I don't think you deserve to get downvoted for expressing it. Years ago when I still had an Xbox 360, I remember Microsoft had implemented a system where all of your friends would be able to see your in-game achievements on Xbox live, even in single player games. I'd actually say it goes even farther back to the days of arcades: sure, it's fun to play arcade games on your own, but really you just wanted to beat your friends' high scores.

I've finished the game this week and found it thoroughly amazing. It's definitely one of the best games I've played, and lives up to the first one. The first hours were pretty hard since the controls are weird, and the pace of the game is different than the current games, but after that... My god, what an experience! Even the chores, which are designed on purpose to be annoying, are fun to do because it makes you soak in the character, in their lives.

But to me the outdoor experience was the best of all: most of the times I would set the cinematic camera, put my horse on auto mode and just enjoy the trip, and get consistently mesmerized by graphics and the overall ambient. I've played more than the estimated 65 hours and still have stuff to do to complete everything, and there are times where I would just stop to look at the place.

That being said, I think that the story is... good, I like Arthur, but to be fair the last arc was better paced, I think. There are some inconsistencies in overall but nothing major. The first RDR also has a ok-ish story to me too so I think this is fine. There are some flaws on some game mechanics too, like the camp you can build which is a bit useless IMO, and of course the controls which are sometimes hard to grasp.

Nonetheless, a fantastic game

This is what I use. Although it is not perfect, it does require an exploit targeting it specifically. Until it becomes a de facto standard, I would expect this type of exploit to be found largely in targeted attack on an individual or specific organization rather than in a broadly sweeping virus.

Interestingly, the Internet has quashed my enjoyment of multiplayer games: so many people are playing them, there's no chance I am going to be able to compete, given that I only play occasionally. When "multiplayer" meant "lan party" or "friends come together and play a skirmish" you actually had a chance, but now? Not so much.

I really prefer single player games with a nice story and an action that's not too hectic that I can enjoy at my own pace.

I don't see how people can doubt this. Positive results get published. Even without p hacking that means a significant number of experiments at the p <0.05 level are published when they're one of the 1 in 20 due to chance. Combine that with p hacking and small samples with small magnitude effects... well replication is going to be a problem. Part of the solution here might be more impetus and incentive to publish negative results.
> If I'm a photographer and you see my images and like them, then you can't download them and then upload them as your own on reddit,

It would strengthen your point to remove “download them and then”. When reading through this, I stopped to mentally argue with this at that point (since having viewed the image implies downloading already), but that part is incidental to your argument.

Given that the target was going to the embassy to get a marriage license, I believe that MBS deliberately wanted to spread fear by disappearing a journalist.

I think MBS very much expected to be found out, but likely assumed that it would not be such a public spectacle in US media with actual implementation details.

Trump played along with it as much as he could.
They did?

> And they repeated those experiments many times over, with volunteers from 36 different countries, to see if the studies would replicate in some cultures and contexts but not others.

So different sets of people, and different researchers (the article doesn't say it, but I doubt the same researchers traveled across the globe repeatedly).

Not only that but I use the CLI app directly then using a package that wraps it and hides what is happening from you.
Plus you will not have a surprise that an update (on an LTS server distro) removes your dependency, replaces it with malware or drops a feature.

I noticed that my colleagues that never used Linux are not familiar with the CLI tools and the power this tools have so they are not trained to think "hey we can use this CLI tools and we can solve our problem" but they think let's search SO, GitHub, or NPM for a solution on how to do X with node/PHP etc.
If you look it up all these things you keep hearing about are generally in the order of 1% of their workforce. If you had an articles when other companies had 1% of their employees think something you would see tons of articles about them, too.

Statement of APA President Regarding Administration's Proposal to Detain Child Migrants Longer Than Legally Allowed

> “We are dismayed that the administration continues to place the mental and physical health of migrant children and their families in jeopardy. Holding children — even with their parents — in these federal facilities for longer than the 20 days allowed by current law is unacceptable. Research has shown that immigrant detainees are particularly vulnerable to psychological stress. Furthermore, the longer the detention period, the greater the risk of depression and other mental health symptoms for immigrants who were previously exposed to interpersonal trauma.

I can't remember any time when the APA criticized Obama the way it is criticizing Trump.

Well this is immigration we are talking about. Generally people without college degrees don't even get a H1 visa to come and work in the US. So its not really a problem with the merit based system. Infact a merit based system which does not require college degree and simply provides some points is better suited to such individuals as they could get high score in other factors.

I'm not sure that there's necessarily a problem with psychology itself, but just that the number of participants in studies is consistently too small. Just like how physicists increasingly have to spend more money to get more accurate results (LIGO, LHC, redefinition of the kg, etc.), psychology needs to realize that 1000+ study participants is necessary to get valid results. Unlike physics, though, where it's easy to show that results are bad when the equipment is bad, the nature of psychology makes it easy to publish spurious results without enough support. When the psych community starts to demand higher N values, you expect fewer, lengthier, more costly, but more accurate results.

No, why would they, especially if they aren't based in the EU? You don't have to worry about them throwing you in jail or fining your little forum. In the worst case, someone might report you and you'll get a warning. At that point you can choose to ignore it, block EU countries or try to comply.

The gathering methods are encompassing and technically adept, but that does not mean that the announcement reflects data that actually exists.

Nor does it answer the question of why the agency chose to selectively promote the claim, which is the main issue.

We know from many other examples that hard data is used to sell and add credibility to analytical opinions that are at best informed hunches. Yet we are led to believe that the data speaks for itself.

A buddy of mine sunk about ~$2,000 into VR just as a casual gamer and not is not including the cost of a PC. He bought Oculas at launch, bought the controllers at their launch and bought many other accessories for driving and flight VR games. I initially thought VR was a fad but was still skeptical of its success. At this point I believe my skepticism is over. He and my other friends that bought headsets never use them anymore, it's been a year since they have played. They still defend their purchases, to them they say they got their moneys worth out of playing.

EDIT: One other thing I forgot to mention. Having the space to play and dealing with the wires is a huge frustration I saw my friends deal with. Every time they wanted to play they had to spend over an hour setting it up to just play for an hour or 2. That is unless you had a dedicated space for it. I hope no one wants their living room cluttered with wires going across the floor and VR accessories laying around.
The newest Zelda is like that as well. I finished in a couple of weeks; my wife has been playing for almost a year and just finished the main quest. My daughter just enjoys exploring and cooking dishes with all the ingredients.
The attention to detail at every level is what makes it work as a free-world. I'd argue this aspect is better than the traditional main-quest story line and execution, but the entire game is an amazing experience.
It's possible that they're working in the frame of mind that there aren't any low-hanging fruit left after so many years of compiler optimizations and forget to even try.

Ask HN: Why did I get printed the wrong boarding pass?
I took a flight from Montreal to Frankfurt.
Today i checked my printed boarding pass (apparently the first time) and noticed it is completely wrong.

things which seems to be in common:
Flight number: AC 8742 (printed flight)
AC 874 (my flight)

levenshtein distance of printed name: 12, m = 15, n = 12

boarding pass: https://imgur.com/56ZRhOI

Seems like the only thing in common is that the boarding passes where probably printed at the same time.

Any suggestions what can possibly go wrong when a computer system prints a boarding pass, based on
the scanned passport?

In case you feel like that could be your lines of code, let us know :)
I'd be interested to learn about results in the "hard sciences" that I work in (mathematics, logic, program verification, typing systems), what papers "everyone in the niche knows is false", but "fears to speak out about".

Sure, mistakes happen, my own PhD contained a major blunder (discovered several years after submission -- at least somebody read it ...), but I'm extremely open about it.
Richard Feynman was laughed at when presenting new ideas in physics when he was an up-and-comer. The human ego tends to intervene when careers are on the line.
