Parent-child bonding is the outcome of the hereditary lottery as well.
A quibble: The source code belongs to Al Lowe’s ex-employer only if he had a work for hire agreement in place with them. Copyright is implicit and, unless otherwise agreed to, belongs to the creator by default. Anything I write (including code) I have the right to copy unless I transfer that right.

(This, by the way, is why your employer requires that you sign those “we own everything you create while you work for us” documents.)

Edit: But this case seems to hinge on Al selling the physical media, rather than the IP rights. More like selling a used book.
It is a business loss. And if the business paid this though borrowed money it could end up going bankrupt, yet he’d still have the 42k$ that his company paid him.
The Chicago system is about 2 orders of magnitude larger (someone might want to check my pre-coffee morning math), but a very big distinction is that Chicago stores the overflow water in outdoor, open-air reservoirs, not underground storage tanks.

I agree that it is rather impressive for a long-running American construction project to be on-time and on-budget, but keep in mind that most of the project has been tunneling through very consistent bedrock with nothing in the way. Also, the McCook Reservoir mentioned in the wikipedia article as 13x10^9 liters is a former limestone quarry that they purchased and then connected to the system. The wikipedia article says it will be expanded to 38x10^9 liters by 2029. That's true... but what is really going on is that all they've done is sign a contract to buy the quarry on the other side of the highway once the stone company is done with it, perhaps around 2026 or so. Only then will they do any construction to connect it to the system. Don't get me wrong, it's a very smart move. But it's not an 11-year long project for which they have to maintain a schedule and budget.
Lots of respect for Rockstar but... Add FL I alone on that I thought GTAV was at best soulless and at worst terrible. I almost stopped playing when Trevor became available.

Whereas GTA4 was genuine satire (Republican space rangers anyone?) the sequel had poor characters and I honestly have never gone back to it since finishing the main storyline, the first time this was true in the series.

Anyway RDR2 Looks amazing. I bought an Xbox just to play it. Who knows how long it'll take to get to PC but I'll buy it again when it does.
They can have the link anyway - that's not restricted. You can link all you want to whatever you want.

My guess is it would mean things like news publishers would send copies of the main text to reddit and reddit would be required to filter out comments that contain some significant chunk of them unless there's some agreement made. Currently most paywalled articles have the entire text pasted into a comment within.
that justifies the spam
Someone who signed a sworn affidavit would just be forced to testify. They could only choose not to testify against themselves.
You can't map everything cleanly to HTTP status codes. When you implement the task queue resource, you'll need to come up with ways of representing what information is important to you (status, success, failure, eta, progress, etc.), and then when you implement the client you'll have to parse that.
You're having to make a lot of presumptions to have to believe these employees are being paid fairly.
Eight Ways to Get $900 Extra This Month – National Assistance Network
The idea of referring to things that look like milk as milk is much older than those examples. Consider, Milkweed which produces something that looks like cows but is a very different substance. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asclepias

Not to mention the Milky Way.
I don't know a thing about fluid dynamics. This is just a layman's understanding. But the idea is that as water rushes in from the hull breach, it then sloshes from side to side. It's rhythmic based on the size of the boat and how long the water takes to slosh back and forth.
Which of course is where the truth comes out.

This helps big tech players at the little guys' expense. Big companies can build their own content filters. Small companies can't, and are forced to buy content filtering software or services from the big companies.
Morally bankrupt? Copyright is not a moral issue, it is just a several centuries old regulation created by people who could never have envisioned something like the Internet. The effort to turn copyright into a moral issue is nothing more than a tactic employed by copyright-based industries in their desperate bid to stay relevant without changing their business models.
Support for tree-shaking in Javascript build tools is improving. This means that unused functions are not included from a dependency when they are not used. This could be a foundation for a more trusted utility library.

Such a library could be made by crawling NPM stats to find out what kind of small packages/functions are most used, and select a subset of these. The code could be lifted from the original packages (with proper licenses and attribution). The package maintainers could be approached if they are interested in helping to maintain this new collection package.
The thesis being that such a package can be more efficiently maintained by a group, than each individual maintainer and package alone.

Once it exists, one can post PRs to common dependants to use the new package.

Could it work?
too bad the game is not good, mundane and boring :(
Gwern's book review on Cat Sense
Each confrontation of the uncanny valley is an uncomfortable experience that gives us pause and causes us to consider the dangers of interacting with AI. It's a healthy learning experience that will linger with any part of the population that already distrusts AI. Since you probably want to sell to those people too, why not make allowances?

Disfluencies and breath sounds are peculiar when they're missing from human speech, so not injecting them into AI speech would be an easy design choice to distinguish a speaker as artificial, perfect for Virtual Assistants. For theatrical functions, in video games and movies, it makes sense to add as many human vocal quirks as possible, even the occasional resonance obstructions to simulate colds or a whistle for gap teeth.
Open Source is not Free Software. It never was. Open Source is the development model where you open up your source so more people can see and debug it. In practice, it could mean you write commercially important software by employing a thousand monkeys with text editors and then dump the impossible maintenance task onto the "community".
Dust3D use right-handed coordinate space, X - front view, Z - side view, Y - up.
I am not quite sure what exactly coordinate space other software use, but I make sure the exported fbx looks as the same in Unity, and the exported glb looks as the same in Godot.
This is less about open source, and more about how people consume it. If you take open source as simply one of many available resources, read the code, and make deliberate decisions whether to use it, fork it, modify it, etc, then actively engage with its presence in your codebase, you are fine. On the other hand, if you "npm install <whatever>" as the easy answer to every question, you will get burned: At best by code bloat, at worst by malicious actors.
With all the optimisations being implemented in compilers today, it is impressive to see how this opportunity to optimise is missed. Put differently, compiler writers bother about optimisations that gain 0.1% performance in some special cases, but others that could gain 20% performance are not implemented.

Why? Is this optimisation particularly difficult to implement? Or is it just missed low-hanging fruit? It sure looks easy (like: rearrange expressions to keep the expression tree shallow and left-branching to avoid stack operations).
An "inversely" bad heuristic lol

I'm not talking specifically about having dependencies instead of copying and pasting utility functions.

In both cases you are expected to at least sort of understand the code you are copying/importing.
We don't really know what the outcome will be yet. I think it's worth trying to see what happens and if it's bad, lets update the legislation and try again.

I don't know a whole lot about it, but from what I have read so far it doesn't seem that bad. It doesn't help that it's Reddit complaining. It's hard to feel any sympathy for them.
You srsly don’t know how much money people make in Chengdu. It’s about 3000-5000RMB pretax($700) per month.what you offers $9/h equals to 13k RMB a month, which is an absurdly high income. People will fight death for that job

EDIT: $700/month is a really really decent number anywhere outside Tier-1 cities in China. $2000/month you get pretty decent fresh PhDs

> No, the point is that in practice FOSS code is not any more open than closed source.

You seriously believe this? I mean, it's so obviously nonsensical I can hardly believe you are seriously making that point. With FOSS, you have the option to look at the code, with closed source you don't. And you are seriously saying that that is the same level of openness?

Also, even if it were true: How is that relevant? FOSS is just as bad as closed source, therefore you should exclude FOSS? How does that follow?!

> So you have to take the internals on trust.

So, I can not look at FOSS code? Like, you are telling me it is impossible for me to look at the code that I am in fact looking at when selecting code to use for something? I mean, really? That is your point?

And the solution then is to not use FOSS, because then you don't have to take the internals on trust?
Yeah, I ought to point out that I agree with everything you've written. I'm far from a proponent of how wide reaching copyright laws are these days. Thanks, Disney!

Nonetheless, despite not being a lawyer, and having never taken a single legal class during my education; I still find myself regularly correcting other professionals misunderstanding of copyright laws. It would be so easy for someone to seriously ruin their life by not understanding this stuff. Although, that's largely a flaw of our overly complicated legal system, and far from being exclusively the individuals fault.
OT: First time ever seeing a post of mine `randomly` linked here on HN. :)
Fearless is a better trait to me than trying to summon courage which is a response and seems reactive to me whereas being fearless is a state of mind.

Where I live (EU), if I pay myself "for accounting purposes" $60 / hour, then I own the state $24 / hour in taxes. Did he actually pay =~ $20,000 in taxes? If so, respect, he did pay himself $60 / hour. But I bet a castle that he "payed himself" $60 / hour just like I pay myself a castle per hour when I do side work. (Which is also why I so nonchalantly can afford to bet one :P)
The potential moral issue is that the creator of the work (author, photographer, artist, musician) receives no compensation for widespread use of their work. On the other hand, the publishing company or record label or other middleman almost always makes most of the money anyway. An illegal but morally somewhat right thing I’ve seen people do is to pirate the work and pay the artist directly, cutting out most of the expense while still benefiting the creator.
Why are you so surprised?
If the broken toe was inside a concrete cast that no one could see into, and there was no such thing as an X-ray machine, CT scan, MRI, or any other machine that could be used to verify the toe being the part that's broken.

If the doctor didn't listen to, or at all believe at least half the the stuff the patient actually said, and didn't need to.

If others had leg amputation performed and the leg grew back and on top of it we had evidence that leg amputation caused long-term damage when performed for other reasons. (Ketamine has long been used as an anesthetic precisely because the data we have suggests no long term damage from that dosage.)

If the patient had suicidal ideation and intent, because something hurt so much and we had no way of doing anything other than leg amputation, then why shouldn't we?

Until humanity manages to develop and deploy brain scanners that can actually see how much physical and emotional pain a person is actually in, then the leg amputation analogy is lazy and unhelpful because we simply don't have the same tools to address mental health because it's largely invisible.

Most doctors are still humans who negatively judge patients who drink heavily, who frequently miss appointments, who can't manage to get lab work done, who self-medicate with street drugs; those patients are judged as degenerates, not deserving of their help because they can't manage to take a pill, that doesn't seem to work for 6-8 weeks.

I mean, it's great that a hospital's ethic's board has reviewed the situation and determined that the best course of action is for people to suffer because they don't want the liability of, in this analogy, leg amputation, but in the meanwhile, people are being discarded by the mental health profession.
You can pay all kinds of things with BTC. For example one of the better known Cloud providers accepts Bitcoin. Probably others as well ( didn't check ). That looks like real use case for me.
These times we’re living in are pretty amazing
> and very rarely does the original content creators actually benefit from having their works shared or altered on reddit

Very often, when a gif taken from a video is shared, for example, the top comment will be a link to the source video. In even more cases, such a comment is near the top of the thread. That absolutely benefits the content creator.

Also that the drone strikes are against "terrorists" and not "journalists" (although how to confirm this I'm not sure).

While any extra judicial killings are a very bad direction IMO, most people would agree that democracy should protect journalists but not terrorists.

Tl;Dr - supposedly if we took the people who get drone strikes to court they would be found guilty in the states anyway, a journalist wouldn't be so there killing is considered unjustified
TANSTAAFL. You're literally getting the source code for free. I agree that it absolutely makes sense to pay a third party to audit your dependencies if you can't do so yourself. The alternative is to restrict yourself to code from a source you trust implicitly.

To my understanding, the logic is that there's a hormone called leptin which strongly guides your eating patterns, cravings, energy, etc. Stresses and traumas can affect your leptin levels, so particular stresses and traumas can cause you to eat more. This makes evolutionary sense, since if you're in a famine, or an ice age, you better stock up on as much food as you can. Move slowly, digest slowly, don't lose any of it, because you never know when you'll run out.

Sexual abuse traumas get interpreted by some bodies as the same kinds of stress signals as famine, raising leptin, causing overeating.

So I guess the broader point is that some of the "unconscious logic" going on inside us isn't just habits or odd personality traits, but actual chemical processes.

Note that I got all of this knowledge from reading a Pop Sci weight loss book. HN, let me know if you know better :-)

Without assigning blame to anyone, a simple-to-follow best practice would be probably to just never hand over a (personal) project. Make it as deprecated and let the community fork it. If you feel like it, point to the new, maintained fork.
The problem is the liability will now fall on the host rather than the uploader.
Awesome! Would this run on OpenGL ES2.0 or OpenGL 2.x? Asking for computers with mobile chipsets like Raspberry Pi, i.MX6 etc. I’m looking for an alternative to Blender.
> The idea that say a startup has time to audit every line of every dependency is absurd.

I kind of agree, but remember you are getting free software. Not a little, but a ton of free software and you feel like somebody should guarantee all works fine.

Choices:

- See what is going on in all your deps and waste a lot of time
- Risk it and use the software without knowing what is doing
- Pay somebody to guarantee that the software is not malicious
Are you kidding me? My sister just about lost her boyfriend to that game.
While I can't agree on the whole inversely proportional thing, I do find myself asking questions when a candidate looks to be "too academic" or when they have no qualifications.

The roles I hire for aren't typically cutting edge research etc, there much more mundane development, integration, operations and so on - highly academic people might not truly understand the role, and I want to make sure there's a good fit in terms of expectations.

What I'm getting at is, don't let a list of, or absence of, qualifications bother you - instead match people as best you can to the roles you have. Sometimes, you're going to mess up. It happens. I know I've lost good candidates because I didn't think they would be a fit and it turned out - they were.
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, and reddit certainly can't make money from the clicks generated by my photos that you uploaded to their site. Unless you have my permission.

Thats the clear case, it gets difficult with stuff like Star Wars memes. Disney probably doesn't mind someone using Darth Vader to tell a joke, they probably don't care if you stole the image and uploaded it as your own either, and they probably don't care if your joke is distributed on reddit either or whether they make money from it. Because at the end of the day, thet's sort of a free commercial.

Under the law though, you have to ask permission.

It's annoying to be honest. I give a lot of presentations, and not having every image on the internet available to me, is just annoying. But I work for a municipality, and it can potentially be held accountable if I use proprietary images without having permission to do so.

It's been like that for a long while by the way, but internet companies like Reddit have somehow gotten away with doing what the rest of us cannot. In fact they've build a big part of their business model around it, and now the EU is telling them they aren't above the law, so of course they're unhappy.

It's an interesting thought! If you had a Twitter account in your bio, I would have followed it.
To be fair, we do spend a pretty major chunk of our lives looking at repetition to learn, particularly when younger.

The term you may be looking for though is "one shot learning".
Lack of standard library only makes the trust issue manifest with more hilariously basic libraries, instead of more slowly with the libraries. We've still seen this in Python, the poster child for batteries-included.

I think you have pretty much proved his point.

>I realise it's hard for FOSS advocates to understand this, because it's a fundamental flaw with the FOSS philosophy. The benefits are "obvious" to crusaders, but the objective reality is that large swathes of FOSS are full of casual or hobby code that barely works, has gaping security vulns, and/or is nowhere close to being robust enough for production.

>And the solution then is to not use FOSS, because then you don't have to take the internals on trust?

I think the point is to realize FOSS is not a utopia and has tradeoffs like everything else.
Their point is, clearly, that to the end user, code they cannot understand is for all practical purposes no different than code they cannot view.
You pay for the software, you get the source. I gather this used to be the default distribution method, and I think it still gets used for game engines.
>It's very easy to demonise Google and think they stand to benefit from this all, but in reality they are hurt by it as much as anyone else

False if bot traffic > estimated bot traffic

For others like FB and Twitter, it's a fact their active user counts are inflated by bots and that they are disincentivized to accurately account for it.
And even with less extreme rules we already had YT ContentID which errs on the side of the possible rights holder even if they aren't actually holding the rights.
However, the united states government has got at least a 70 year history of being just as bad as the effects of fake news.

Or see the 70s and 80s and South America, or our reasoning for invading Iraq in the 2000s, or the 1960s and Vietnam. Or the 1953 coup d'etat against Iran because BP was going to lose their investments. And, and, and....

The answer isn't trying to create another hegemon of "real" news, like it was in the good old days of monoculture. The answer really is in what the person above said, people have to be more discerning. Also, the problem really isn't "new" because it really wasn't 'better' in the past -- just invisible to most of the people who are wringing their hands about this in 2018.
Nah. Package manager that does not allow multiple versions of same library is the bad one.

Npm allowing it is a good thing about npm.
Audiobooks and movies where you already know the source material verbatim (Harry Potter, Star Wars). Just watch a few times with the language track you wish to learn. And you will pick up phrases right away.

Apart from full immersion, engaging with native speakers on Twitter can help conversationally. Also a great way to pick up modern slang and culture.

Make a habit of reading the major daily newspaper online as well. They report the same wire news stories. So you can usually infer meaning just from the content. If there is a live broadcast news stream online, keep it on in the background.

And start early in life. I wish there was mandatory Mandarin for every six year old out there ;)
