The Twain quote says "[IP right expiry] generously gives it to the eighty-eight millions. That is the idea. If it did that, that would be one thing. But it does not do anything of the kind."

I propose copyright and patent expiry _does_ do that, as illustrated by the example of a logic analyser being 94% cheaper.

Trademarks are another matter, I agree.

> Buses are allowed exemptions to booster seat rules, minivans aren't

Buses are allowed exemptions for pragmatic reasons, not safety reasons. Whatever the rule is, it should be the same for both, in which case there is no relative advantage. If you're not willing to allow it for a minivan, why are you willing to allow it for a bus? (This also doesn't apply to high school students who don't need them anyway.)

> How do you get kids to school if the primary driver is sick or has car trouble?

How do you do it when the school bus driver is? You maintain some level of reserve and you send someone else.

> Who is liable for accidents?

The insurance company. The better question is who pays for the insurance, but considering that the school would already be paying for it for a school bus, it still doesn't appear to be any disadvantage for the school either way.

> Do you randomly drug/alcohol test your parents?

They're voluntarily choosing to drive someone else's kids for money. If you want to do that and they don't, they don't get put on the roster and don't get paid. It seems like the only real question is whether (or how often) it's worth the cost given the expected probability of drug abuse in your parent population.
Because the free will either exists or does not, and that existence requires it be compatible with the rules that govern how our universe exists. If it's not compatible with how the universe works, it doesn't exist.

There is no such proof, and as such, the null hypothesis or null assumption is that free will doesn't exist, in the same way we assume the angular momentum of the universe is zero.

I'm not arguing about whether or not that's what Compatibilism believes, I'm arguing that Compatibilism is wrong because you cannot separate the way humans act and think from the physical laws of the universe. Regardless of whether or not most humans act in a way that is compatible with Compatibilism doesn't prove Compatibilism, especially if Compatibilism basically agrees with all of the physics that say free will likely doesn't exist, and then does a philosophical shoulder shrug and says that free will exists anyway, because we have freedom to act, despite that not being nearly enough to encompass actual free will.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithography

I am not an expert on this, but, if my understanding is correct, They would get the original drawings from the patentee's manuscript and redraw them using a Lithographic method.

This method is basically drawing it on metal/stone plate with a wax and then douse an acid over the plate which would essentially make a reverse-etching of the drawing. They then wash off the wax and have the drawing raised in relation to the rest of the plate.

Also these particular ones are neat because these really early ones are actually a linen paper. Some of the slightly later ones I have are regular paper.

Well, who decides what is deemed "not inclusive" now? you?

> So why not use it? What's the harm?

The harm is you likes with your intimidation and harassment tactics on social media trying to force your morals and political beliefs on everyone else in every possible circle and the insane finger pointing at those who refuse to fall in line because they don't agree with your ideology.

Antirez, author of redis has something to say about it, given the pressure he was victim of under the threat of being "casted out" of the open source community since the verbiage of his project was deemed "non inclusive". And he is not the only victim. You've gone too far.

> You're misunderstanding their point. They are not saying "whitelist" is too confusing, just that "allowlist" is equally as good and in some cases maybe even slightly better.

A word already exists for this, "whitelist" and it has nothing to do with race. You chose to make it about race, because you subscribe to a specific political framework, not out of "good intentions". You chose to deem it "problematic", because it's just another political battle for you and any victory is good to take. This is madness. Do you want me to list the groups across history that used the exact same dirty tactics? Although I'd rather not.

edit: there is an obvious sophistry in the act of complaining about racism yet furthering racist "idioms" by claiming a word that has "black" in it is automatically associated with race, or the idea of "slave" is automatically referring to European slave trade thus it hurts the feelings of people of African descent. This rejection of semantics and context itself is not "language evolution", it's straight out language hijacking. Now of course, you're free to believe in whatever you want, but we are passed that fact, we are now in an era where people who don't subscribe to that same ideology are harassed, intimidated and coerced into submission.
If one has kids are you kidding? Daycare is about the same as the rent, transportation is cheap but adds up for sure, food (to cook at home, yes we're frugal that way and shop at TJs for about 600 a month) and bills.

> I thought it was total sleep duration.

They're related. If you go to sleep at the same time (relative to actual-midnight) and get up an hour before school, you get more sleep when school starts later.

Or else what difference would any of it make? If all you did was start school at 9:30 instead of 7:30 and then kids used that to go to bed two hours later, nothing has changed. But when people go to sleep (and are inclined to wake up) has a lot to do with daylight.
It’s the idea of being descriptive instead of prescriptive. Could care less and couldn’t care less are equally correct according to the descriptivist.

It’s like when someone says that the enemy was “decimated”. The prescriptivists would say that means they lost 10%. The descriptivists would say they lost a lot.

Translation: if you turn down our "invitation", we'll misuse our legal power to seize your internal documents and then publish them to embarrass you.

Accurate?

To be clear, I'm not saying that they can't seize and investigate or even punish if the law was broken. That's the job of government. But this just seems like a petty attempt to embarrass. However, I'm American and haven't been following the story closely, so I may be missing context.

Good Luck, at least you have a degree in software.

My degree was in chem engineering, and despite being a programmer for the last 11 years, I am not being taken seriously.

I have built a dishwasher to prove my embedded systems skills, that's what has gotten me closest to making a jump into specifically embedded systems.

My recommendation- Make a JS/React app. (and tbh, I imagine full stack would probably be best for anyone's future)
It is absolutely possible. As I wrote elsewhere in the comments, you need to use radios with timestamping that can measure the distance (10cm accuracy is achievable). See for example Decawave DW1000 radios.

Use those and you can base your distance estimation on time measurement, rather than signal strength. Amplifiers won't help.
If the result of your sandboxed shell is that it can run any program in PATH, which is sort of the basic function of a shell, then what is the value of the sandbox? I'd say one core feature is the ability to use su or sudo to escalate privileges and install a new application, and then run that application. If you have some whitelist of PATH applications at _start, that's impossible. Meanwhile, you can run dd or cc or rm or chmod and do whatever you like. So I'm just not seeing the value of sandboxing a shell.

I think there's a lot of value in sandboxing more constrained applications, especially with untrusted inputs, like web browsers, individual commands, etc. But I don't buy that you can meaningfully reduce the privileges of a shell without losing the quintessential features of a shell.
Can you give some examples of those type of websites? I've been really interested in the idea of stripped down personal static sites.
If the entity is uncovering a fact then what does it matter whether it's a foreign or domestic entity who uncovered it? The fact itself is what's interesting.

I get that an entity could be more interested in uncovering facts about one party than another but in this particular case, the fact was that the Democratic Party was acting "unethically" in some people's eyes. If they hadn't been then it wouldn't have "influenced" people's opinions.

Another way to look at it: that entity didn't annotate the emails, the content of the emails was enough to anger people.

I'm not try to fork this into a flame war, I'm genuinely interested in what other users of this site think, particularly those who think differently than I do.
ZeroTier (https://www.zerotier.com/ ) does this. I use it successfully on Windows, Linux, Mac. I've heard positive things about Tinc as well (https://tinc-vpn.org/).
Yes, seems like this can be viewed as adding a sub-brand, not a brand change. Like Amazon Prime and Amazon AWS are both sub-brands of Amazon.

One could speculate they're planning ahead, making space for another brand, either a different variation of SDC as a service or some other type of product.

Maybe they'll have SDCs with multiple riders (like Uber Pool) and call it Waymo Share. Or maybe they'll have self-driving commuter buses (like Chariot) and call it Waymo Shuttle.

Once you've mastered SDCs, there are just so many applications that you almost expect to do multiple things with it. They could license to car manufacturers and call that WaymOEM, sell their own cars and call it Waymotors, do trucks and call it Waymo Freight, etc., etc.

We are all rogue third party developers, and clearly, the priority, much like most businesses is to make a profit, and the customers/ethics come second.

I love the fact that you get bent out of shape that Facebook didn't sell it though, it's a theme I've seen with Facebook employees: "But we didn't sell it!"

I'm not sure if they are lamenting the fact they didn't sell it but I sure as hell can tell what they give a damn about. If you want to hide under "anybody would have done it", lets take a trip down histories gravestones and figure out whether or not we should bother trying to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.
> One of Napoleon's great gifts was in compartmentalizing pieces of his life. His tumultuous and frankly soul-crushing personal life (which affected him deeply) with Josephine never got in the way of his military victories. I wonder if that's a good model, up-to-a-point for people and groups. With people, by compartmentalizing some unsavory perspective someone has, you have the ability to change it later on through discussion.

Also, the Napoleonic Wars killed 3 to 6 million people.

Long time the adiabatic foe he sought
So rested he by the delta T

And took quantum leaps when hot!

The entropy discharged his wrath.
It reached a degenerate state, and being late,
He returned by the mean free path

Has this problem infected mathematics to a significant degree?

I'm sure there's still unhealthy pressure to publish for grad students, but I had the impression that it was comparatively insulated from the usual patterns and receptive to rare-but-superb work.

(It's a good question, though. How would Temple Grandin or B.F. Skinner fare in psychology today?)
The counter argument that I have heard is that patient handoffs are where a disproportionate number of errors occur. Increasing the number of shifts means that more patients in the ED or on the floor will have care fragmented between providers, making it more likely that results will not be followed up or that changes in a patient's status will not be recognized.

I don't know at what point the errors from sleep deprivation exceed the errors from patient handoffs. People seem to take different views depending on what side of the work hours debate they fall on.
That's a terrible argument. I know plenty of fat people who eat three times a day and are obsessed with food. And I'm sure there are lots of skinny people who eat twice a day and don't think about food that much. I have gone weeks like that.

Women who do prostitution and pornography do so because they have few choices. Prostitution and pornography are also markers for human trafficking. Because both prostitution and pornography are avenues for exploitation of women, they contribute to the degradation of society. I don't particularly care for the argument of women being free to choose because most women in the two industries have few other choices and so are abused and exploited.

Also, banning something does reduce its usage. Its usage moves to the more criminal element of society but it does reduce its usage among the wider population and media; see guns, drugs, etc. And let's not pretend like media has no influence on people. Whatever is shown in media becomes normalized quickly. Most people look at media (i.e. other people) for what constitutes as normal and they follow it.
>> If a PI has 3 collaborator PIs and each PI has 4 students writing a paper every three months then the PIs can get 48 publications a year. Over 20 years, there's your O(1000) publications in a model with no substantial PI time contribution.

I don't know how to square this expectation with my experience, as a PhD student (currently). My own problem with my thesis advisor is that I'm concerned that I don't contribute enough to our joint papers, because he's doing much of the job- most of the ideas are his and he writes at least half of each paper, and codes the odd implementation. And he's been doing that for the last 30 years or so (though not with me, obviously!).

I have heard the rumours- that career academics let their students do the hard work and just put their name on the finished paper. However, that presuposes that PhD students are already capable scientists who can be trusted to write a publisheable paper entirely on their own, even in their first year. I think that anyone who's been through a PhD, or helped guide someone through theirs will know how rare that is. Even just figuring out what an original contribution means in your chosen field can take a long time- unless, that is, you have someone at hand who understands the field, knows the bibliography and can recommend a promising research subject and also methods. At that point, that person has already done 1/3 of the work for you- figured out what you should try to publish. The other two thirds are to do the research and actually write up the paper.

Btw, in the UK were I study, the done thing is that the student's name goes first in any joint papers, while that of the advisor, or in any case, the most experienced member of the research team generally goes last. The advisor will still get citations to their name of course, but so will the people preceding them - and the first author, who is usually the student, will appear as the principal author whenever the names of the researchers are referenced (e.g. in author-year citation formats, or in slides, etc).

I tend to see this as a substantial boost to my own career as a researcher. Maybe even too much of a boost, in a way. I don't like to think I'm riding on someone else's coattails. But, the fact of the matter is that at the start of your research career, inevitably, that's what you are doing.

Rust isn't good as boasted. But firefox and HN willing to blow the bubble. That's their company's strategy.
Yeah. The problem for them is that doesn't exactly seem like what you'd call a "business" at the moment, more like "a thing that could maybe happen soon, or maybe not so soon".
Over humanizing people is also a bad way to look at these things as it diminishes their contribution towards a more problematic group and class structure. While yes, most billionares are probably fine people by many individual metrics, the billionaire class can only exist by extracting value off the backs of others.

Facebook as an entity might be run by great people who love their families and support their communities, but the entity has done tons of very sketchy things and anyone who willingly or knowingly takes a part within that, especially for personal benefit is responsible for the actions of the group as a whole.

Humanity might transcend class and social status, but it doesn't excuse anything.
> There's nothing that Facebook did here than any other company, in tech or otherwise, wouldn't have done.

Dubious, but still good point. Meaning legislation to force companies to behave slightly less unethically is all the more direly needed.

Smart Contract Auditing: Human vs. Machine
So obviously everyone's situation is different. I agree that NJT is a cluster$#% of epic proportions. In my case I'm in Montclair, around 12 minutes from an NJT station but around 1 minute from Decamp Buses which is what I take every day. I take the downtown Wall Street bus a block from my house at 6:50 AM and it drops me off near the bull at 7:50. The bus takes around 25-30 minutes to get to Port Authority and around around 20-30 minutes to traverse to downtown (people request stops). This year it's only been late (i.e. 8:10-8:20) to Downtown twice. One of those times was when major roads in TriBeCa were closed because of mailbomnbs. That's how rare of an occasion that is. Of course that's an early bus, later ones are subject to traffic variations.
A town nearby where my parents live recently experimented with zoning some of their parking lots for development and expanding street parking in the (small) downtown core, an area full of small shops and restaurants, mostly. The street parking had meters, which were very cheap (I think the maximum you could spend was something like $3 a day). The local residents revolted, business owners claimed their income was taking a hit, etc. At the time, I wondered how in the world this seemingly thriving, walkable little downtown was so dependent on giant free parking lots behind the main strip... it seemed crazy to me that someone would stop going to a restaurant they enjoyed because their $50 bill for dinner turned into a $51.50 night out with parking fees.

I'm not saying you're wrong to dislike street parking, its just such a foreign concept to me that someone would avoid an entire otherwise-nice area because there is plentiful parking that doesn't suit their tastes. Kind of weird to see it written out like that.
