Good. The press should have more power than corporations. Especially corporations with the moral standing of Facebook.
I always questioned whether we should be paying artists for music at all. The fact is, song writers don’t make most of their money from recordings. It’s merchandise and concerts. This would solve most of the copy right issues because someone recorded it with a cell phone.

More than that, we’ve seen cases such as the Louis CK video release where he asked politely for people to pay and they did.
Wow. This seems rather unprecedented and unnecessary, based upon the lack of action in this regard by other companies I don't know why Slack would do this. If for instance this kind of arbitrary action took place on GitHub I could see it having a detrimental impact to free software projects. This is another good reason to choose Zulipchat and other self-hostable platforms instead of proprietary SaaS solutions.
No. Copy-paste is not locked behind the VirtualBox Extension Pack. It requires the Guest Additions, which are completely different from the Extension Pack.

Extension Pack gives things such as USB passthrough.
"The problem" being that lots of tech talent would rather stay unemployed or underemployed than compete for the positions that H1Bs would otherwise fill? I don't think the average business would willingly choose to hire H1Bs if they could employ a US national as a realistic alternative...
Good question. They don't want to sell them. Just based on the website the licenses are only sold in 5000 unit blocks.

The fact that they didn't want to take my money forced me to learn KVM and libvirt. That turned out to work better and be way easier to manage remotely.
These big commercial drones have been easily available for, what, 5+ years? And people have been talking about an attack like this for at least as long. It's absolutely mind boggling that we don't have any way of dealing with this other than sending police officers out on the street to see if they can spot a dodgy-looking individual holding a drone controller. Flights have been cancelled for 15 hours and counting now.

I hear some prisons have electronic defences against drones, why not one of the busiest airports in the world?
Given more time I can remember something, or I can notice that the last question gives some hints or even unrelated associations that help to answer the first question.

I don't think "if you don't know the answer in 20 seconds you won't ever know it" is true.
This may be completely wrong, but as I understand it when you enable hyper-v it sits above your Windows install, and runs your windows as a hyper-v VM. So, rather than running a userland vbox process that has OS overhead (especially around disk IO) it can run much closer to the metal.
Saowen.com is clearly a mainland Chinese website. Assuming the copying is automatic, all you have to do is post an entry on the evils of communism with pictures of Winnie the Poo interspaced within it. Add in a few photos of the Dalai Lama and a statement like "Xi Jinping is the biggest moron in history".

Then you report it to the Chinese authorities and the penalties for Saowen will be much much higher than a Google search takedown!
If you're using virtualbox together with vagrant, you're highly unlikely to need the extension pack anyway.
> Major rework of user interface with simpler and more powerful application and virtual machine set-up

Anyone found out yet what that’s supposed to mean? Looks all the same to me except colors and icons and animations nobody needs.
As long as they stay on that hard drive, no problem. You would have to copy it to get it off, however, and that would be a violation.
I have read the article, which mentions that the drones were "seen" and "spotted flying over the perimeter fence", that the runways were closed due to "further sightings".

So...
Too bad none of these two bugs has been fixed:

https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/9069

(cannot use `sendfile` in nginx inside a virtualbox, due to an eight year old bug)
Maybe, but I clearly remember that it is not possible to have a reversible process wich only transfers heat from a colder body to a warmer one. The third law also gives quantitative bounds to the reversibility of such processes.

Heat pumps with efficiency above 1 rely on heat transfer between external bodies (e.g. from a subterranean water source to the atmosphere forhome heating systems), but this does not seem to be the system described by Malta.
Separation is easier than marriage though.
I get the idea of back links. But I doubt our small discussion on HN would have much impact given it already copied thousands of posts at this point.
I'd be more inclined to go for something twin-engined, but I guess I must be less of a thrill seeker than you ;)
Different types of damages and consequences, I'd argue.
Google controls but knowing Microsoft, they'll probably pull what Google did to Apple with WebKit.

My bet is that Microsoft will offer everything that google offers, AND some more extras that google probably won't want to offer to protect their business plan.

Also, my bet is that Microsoft will make kick-ass documentation for Chromium and kick-ass developer integration with the popular VSCode so web developers will reach for that first.
The user says he's connected to Slack from an Iranian IP address 6 months ago. That's likely the reason Slack was able to pinpoint him.
There is this very interesting stand-up comedian from India (Amit Tandon) on YouTube. According to him ever since Fb become mainstream, people are under a lot of pressure to enjoy their lives. He logs in every night even if it was just to find out which of his friends were happier than him that day :D
Facebook was instrumental in electing the worst president ever that is causing damage that will last for decades, it seems that every month now a story break that they handle their users' data even worse than thought possible before, but hey, they made this cool open source library so i guess it all balances out!
I'm unable to find anything about the vboximg-mount utility in the documentation, except in the release notes.
There are a load of criticisms you could call out about google, but suggesting that their “one primary platform and single focus (social media)” is about to collapse is not valid; they’re far too broadly invested (from mobile phones to search to email) to claim they’re about to become irrelevant.
You buy Oracle VM Enterprise: https://www.oracle.com/virtualization/virtualBox/
Ask HN: How do I apply for remote jobs?
What is the best place to find remote jobs for developers and is email the best way to reach for the same?
So if you once log in during a holiday trip to iran your account gets blocked
Serious question but what are examples of this? I can usually think of all the AI things Google (and Microsoft, Apple and Amazon) is (/are) working on, I'm not all that familiar with Facebook and AI.
I'm guessing Kremlin, D.C. sent them a list of names to embargo, and his name matched one of those names.

The "No-Fly List" has matched senators and congressmen. On the other hand, I find it interesting that they just do name matching, considering how easy it seemingly is to get a fake ID e.g. to buy booze (admittedly my point of reference is American movies).
Find some non-commercial small projects that you think are interesting and donate funds to them. It is likely that you will get a lot more social capital by being a patron of cool things than you will by making other people richer by letting them play with your excess money. Obviously you can probably afford to do both.
Ask HN: Interesting companies in Switzerland
What are interesting (as in: not trivial CRUD apps) and/or well-paying companies or startups to work for in Switzerland as a software engineer?
This really is not true. Using a little calculus to derive a closed form solution to a problem can reduce computational burden. A team where I work just had to do exactly this for a geographic distance optimization problem. At first glance it seemed like you needed dynamic programming and it was expensive, but drawing it out and modeking it with equations, we actually set up a Lagrange multiplier formula for the problem and found it had an exact solution. This was not a team of mathematicians or anything, just database engineers working on a specialized in-house search optimization problem.

If you do work in statistics, then calculus matters quite a bit, especially for transformations of variables and deriving the formulas for the probability distributions you’re working with. In Bayesian methods, even if you use autodifferentiation tools to automatically sample from your model, you still often need to do a bit of calculus here or there.

Likewise, if you ever find that you need to implement your own model training algorithms, you’ll probably need to calculate gradients (for example, the gradient of custom log-likelihood functions) analytically before writing them as software functions.

Calculus is pretty pervasive in professional software engineering. You don’t need to be an expert, but should have working knowledge and ability to dig into references and work through it.
that's because Think Python is simply too awesome ;)

I did about 60-70% before stopping mine though, hopefully will finish next year or ask for ruby community to pitch in.
Not just now, it never was a good idea to collect those information. You can look as far back as national census data with IBM and the holocaust.

Haha what reference is this? I have such an odd feeling I’ve heard this in dystopian sci fi
Not sure why you would expect a "company of largely newcomers, lead by newcomers" to pay higher than newcomer-salary. At the end of the day, everyone gets what they pay for.
Face recognition will solve that for you.

Iran's been on my list of "wanna go" destinations for a while (Food and architecture mainly). Looks like I'd have to choose between that and having any connection with a US based company. Great.
Backdatinh is most likely for SEO, in the hopes that google recognizes them as the original, and your blog the copy
A couple of our employees from Syria also got blocked today. They were using Slack from Syria though.

EDIT: I don't understand why they ban/block the account rather than "simply" block access from IPs from the country. This seems really strange and overreaching.

We use virt-manager to virtualize servers on servers with joy, however I use VBox to virtualize Windows hosts with hardware acceleration if possible.

How is the state of KVM's support about 3D acceleration, sound, drag'n drop and like?
> is bound to the lowest common denominator for any chance of success.

ISTM the "lowest common denominator" is a superset of everything current language-specific package-managers support and a subset of anything a current language-agnostic package-manager supports (pretty much definitionally). So ISTM that this is a net win - easier to build than APT/DNF/Pacman… and yet more useful than npm/stack/pip/…

In particular, I don't know any currently existing language-specific package-manager that supports what I'd call the GCD of package-management (e.g. none that I can think of supports actual OS-specific installation of packages) so that clearly isn't even a requirement.

> Thus forcing everyone that needs something beyond that lowest common denominator to implement their own workarounds, thus we are again back to language package managers.

FWIW, a) part of the political and social problem is to talk more honestly about what "needing" really means and b) no, that's not at all "back to language package managers". You can have a layered design, e.g. splitting the "building" and the "installation" part, thus letting languages implement their workarounds in their dedicated building layer and letting OSes implement their workarounds in their installation layers. You just need to actually sit down and talk about the interface needed between the two (and the sets of layers actually needed, which will be >2). Which no one seems really willing to do.

> Yes, many people have this fatalistic perspective about FB but they shouldn't because Zuckerberg can't buy all the competition.

But the competition will have to get money somewhere. Either from VCs (who will sell) or somewhere else, like from the users - but then Facebook can just copy the product and make it free, and take over that way.

Software is eating the world. In real world, there's a place for second best woodcutter, and for third best and for millions more. There's not place for second best Twitter or second best Facebook, or "the second best new thing", and people will always rather pay with their data than with money.

Facebook Google and Microsoft and Amazon and other megacorps are here to stay. They are humanity's future. We are in a pit and will never climb out.

Linux only by the looks of things though.
It’s moving to a phase I trial, that means it’s just being tested for tolerability and adverse effects. A firm conclusion about outcome won’t be available until a phase III trial is completed, that’s years down the line. So we don’t know, but looks promising.
Uhm, this scares me a bit, how do you of you have the Extensions or not?

Would be nice if the Windows Subsystem for Linux started officially supporting graphical apps or a full VM.
Not to mention they removed 4K because... Google force-feeding webm upon us.
Saudi Arabia is a large investor in Slack. Probably doesn't mean much here, but you never know.
Yeah that's likely the reason. It's just funny to me that such a simple hack can confuse Google into not being able to reliably pinpoint the original source.
Don't be surprised when a company in early stages of growth (tens of millions of users with great potential for more) prefers to continue than take an early exit.

The Microsoft deal looks incredibly one sided: https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-ballmer-microsoft-trie...

Anyway, prices are up. There is more cash available now than there was 10 years ago, not to mention than being acquired by Google/Facebook/Microsoft is a better brand name than Viacom. With funding rounds in over a hundred millions, the founders might not even get a good cut out of a (single) billion dollar sale.
Bilibili certainly has copyright issues, but it's the same issue with YouTube and other millions of websites with user-uploaded pirated contents. I wouldn't say Bilibili is much worse than any other websites.
This is Oracle. The Extension Pack has additional features particularly valuable in an enterprise environment, BUT there is no way to actually buy a commercial license and as per some other threads Oracle salespeople are advising enterprise customers to just use it anyway.

Oracle setting a licensing trap they can spring at their whim? Perish the thought!
Tested them quite a bit about 18 month ago and hyper-v was slightly faster in the benchmarks I ran (especially when it came to IO), but was a laggy stuttering mess when trying to use a Linux desktop.
Good luck guessing ethnicity for Iran. There will be many who look less middle-eastern than your average "Californian with a tan". You'd have the same problem with most near-east or Mediterranean countries. Being at the crossroads for a few millennia will do that to a place.
besides that, it ultimately isn't done with autocad ;)
If they are mirroring your content, figure out a signature of their crawler, and start serving "special" content to them.. Perhaps a bit of JS which does a window.location check and redirects if it's not your own (chances are they might do some poor hostname search and replace, so you'd have to obfuscate).
You can move it. Transferring digital goods is possible.
Pytorch
For flight, the components necessary were obvious very early on: you need some kind of structure to hold you aloft and some kind of powered apparatus to propel you forwards. Once those were found, mechanical flight was achieved (and unpowered flight was already possible long before that).

What are the components of intelligence? For example, AlphaZero can solve problems that are hard for humans to solve in the domain of chess, shogi and go- is it intelligent? Is its problem-solving ability, limited as it is to the domain of three board games, a necessary component of general intelligence? Have we even made any tiny baby steps on the road to AGI, with the advances of the last few years, or are we merely chasing our tails in a dead end of statistical approximation that will never sufficiently, well, approximate, true intelligence?

These are very hard questions to answer and the most conservative answers suggest that AGI will not happen in a short time, as a sudden growth spurt that takes us from no-AGI to AGI. With flight, it sufficed to blow up a big balloon with hot air and- tadaaaa! Flight. There really seems to be no such one neat trick for AGI. It will most likely be tiny baby steps all the way up.
I know it's inconvenient, but you could still work around this by using a burner phone during your trip, no?
Sorry but it could be (even remotely closely) to a Linux only solution.
I would call supporting genocide for years and helping to drown democracy in a number of countries (Hungary, Philippines, Cambodia, Sri Lanka among others) pretty fucking evil.

Blowing vile, antisemitic dog whistles from the very top level also doesn't do much in order to improve their image
If you work for an American company, get a bug report from a user you know to be in Iran against an open source project you work on during company time and fix it as a result, can the company be considered to be engaging in commerce with Iran?
It's kinda weird that VirtualPC way back when is the only VM software I recall using that had copy-paste without guest extensions. Granted, it just typed text into the keyboard, but it was really handy none the less.
Now is not a bad time to rage quit Facebook either.
But people get that kind of thing wrong all the time - what it particularly reminded me of was this incident with a bear being reported as an "intruder" at a US airfield during the Cuban Missile crisis:

Everyone I have ever met that has been to Iran absolutely raves about it. I've never met a single person that didn't extend their stay, and doesn't rate it as hands down the best country they have ever been to.

It's very, very high on my list. But if you have an American or British passport you currently can't go without an escort.

(I'm an Overlander, I drove AK-Argentina and am now driving right around Africa. I've met 200+ people that have been to Iran)
I agree that various kinds of immune modulation will be a huge part of medicine in the future. Promising results vs cancer, seems plausible you could teach or program the immune system to attack anything in the body once you’ve identified it. Controlling autoimmunity will also be a challenge.
Having seen what a Phantom 4 did to my thumb at idle, on the ground, I can tell you that it would absolutely fricasée a bird of prey while flying. The tips of the props are going >200kmh. The bird would have to take the drone all the way to the ground to prevent the drone recovering. You might get lucky once or twice, but pretty soon you would have your Harris hawk wrapped around one of the motors.
In theory, all of this also applies to a public "firefighting department", no? They too could do a really, really poor job. If this is the culture in a society, where people want to screw each other over, you are likely to get this poor outcome regardless.

But suppose that you have an honorable firefighting department run by an honorable man. Why could he not have set up a private firefighting company instead, doing pro bono work when required? Given the honorable behavior of his company, why would consumers not want to prefer him for insurance than shady competition, which may be cheaper but is also more likely to screw you over when you most need them?

Government-run agencies can be good or bad; private companies can be good or bad. There is no silver bullet and much depends on the prevailing culture. But government can use the threat of force to compel you to pay for their services. If a private company attempts the same, we would call it an organized crime group.

> They were using Slack from Syria though.

This doesn't excuse anything. People in Syria are people too.

This is similar to how people were calling for websites to block access to Europe over the copyright thing. The internet is a place where you don't even need to have a nationality. It is a place where we can all exist as pure thoughts. Why are we letting politics fuck it up?
In a straight up VirtualBox vs Hyper-V scenario the I/O performance on Hyper-V is a lot better, and that's not based on contrived benchmarks either.

I've used both for full time development. It only took about a day of using VirtualBox with sync'd folders to look for alternative solutions due to how bad it was about 4 years ago (not sure about today). Also, VMWare Player is / was so much faster than VirtualBox, and is on par with Hyper-V's performance.

Currently I use Hyper-V today because it's the back-end for Docker for Windows. I couldn't be happier with the performance.
the seperation of whatsapp and facebook has recently been up to debate. Mainly for apperently breaching terms of the acquisition.

That's pretty much the Singularity conjecture in a nutshell: that exponential advances in computing power will drive an exponential increase in machine intelligence.

It gets more nuanced than that but there are actually very specialised people who argue very forcefully that AGI is a hair's breadth away and we must act now to protect ourselves from it.

Edit: so not "most" people but definitely some very high-profile people. Although granted, they're high-profile exactly because they keep saying those things.
Or radar. Wouldn't a military-grade radar be able to essentially fry a drone if focused at close range?
Thanks! Shame it's minimum order 100 user licenses.
Well naturally showing (rather than necessarily legally sound) it would be fraud and/or libel.

But I understand the USA legal system doesn't automatically award costs to an injured party, so in practice noone cab afford to challenge any large media corp.
