They need to stop being exasperated, because that implies that they keep hoping people will come around and that disaster can be averted. It can't. We might as well just prepare for complete ecological disaster, or resign ourselves to our fate which is going to be complete civilization collapse due to a climate that we simply can't live in at our current population levels.

Basically, instead of trying to convince people who still refuse to believe the evidence, they should be switching to something more productive, like building dome cities or building colonies on the Moon or something.
It’s surprising that they’ve never leased space on a free-to-Air satellite service. Or just mandated free carriage when issuing distribution licenses.

Host agrees to DMCA takedown of GPL'd work after Author rescinds license from "John Doe". Yes you CAN rescind the GPL.

https://gitlab.com/MikeeUSA/GPC-Slots-2/blob/master/DMCA%20T...

In the USA, a license is revocable (absent an attached interest.)
(An attached interest generally arises when a licensee paid for a
copyright license contract.
Thus they "buy" the "terms" and the courts will hold the grantor to the
contract.
Where there is not an interest, the license is revocable)

To put it simply: you pay nothing, you get nothing.
Only the continued magnanimity of the copyright owner allows you to
continue to use, modify, redistribute the copyright owner's work.
If you anger him he may decide to revoke your bare gratuitous license.

The linux kernel contributors who own the Copyright to their code can do
the same, should they dislike the "CoC" and having their speech
controlled by do-nothings for the sake of women's empowerment over the
men who actually built the whole thing (for free!).

> No, we just need to stop buying from companies whose business model is anything other than you give them money and they give you stuff.

So, stop using the internet, then?

Uncoordinated collective economic action like you call for doesn't really work, especially when it's against the shareholder-value maximizing interest of a corporation.
That's nice but a huge chunk of android has been moved into google's closed source "play services." It's pretty much impossible for the average person to have a functioning phone without that, they don't even maintain the open source mail client any more.
I remember attending a bioinformatics conference years ago when Nanopore presented one of their first devices. For those who are not in the field, Nanopore offers a palm sized device that can sequence DNA in real-time as the strand moves through a small pore. They are still far from offering a device that is accurate enough to identify people.

During the presentation, images of public places vacuuming up biological material and sequencing whatever DNA material found came to my mind. The privacy implications of this is potentially very scary.
Could you elaborate on this? Why would Microsoft want to lose money for the NSA to benefit?
For example, my dvd/bluray rips have gone through a number of servers: pytivo, stream-to-me, subsonic, and plex. Each time it's just setting up the daemon and pointing it to the media directory. It's nicer when you don't have to switch, but the non-DRM nature of the rips makes it so pretty much anything can serve them up to me.

Should law enforcement be prohibited from fingerprinting objects found at crime scenes?
So.... they aren’t going to stop steeling tips, just limit how much they steal? And they are claiming that it was an algorithmic glitch that cause them to steal a drivers tip that one time... yet they aren’t going to stop it all together just limit it.

They need to come out and say “all tips goes to the driver” or they are going to dies in distrust. No-one wants to buy from or work for a company that downright steals tips from its employees.

It is a tempting premise: if something is wrong, taking it to its full extent will demonstrate just how wrong it is, causing everyone to unite in striking it down. Justice wins in the end!

It is too optimistic to think that being right is enough to effect change. I think that framing the discussion this way will allow people who want to keep the status quo to use survivorship as a basis for legitimacy. When idyllic justice fails and the change doesn't happen, that becomes proof that the status quo was correct all along.
Show HN: Studiokit-Net-JS – Declarative, Configurable API Access for Redux
Yes. Is there a voice dialer for Android any more that does the voice recognition locally? There's nothing in the F-Droid store.
Reporting is always biased. There's a limited number of stories you can investigate, and someone has to make that choice. "What deserves resources/attention" is one of the fundamental political questions.
My phone lasts a good 20 hours!

Also, I do have a solar cell, but yeah, modern phones aren't really designed for post apocalyptic conditions surprisingly.

Fortunately, all that is also useful in tunnels, underground bars, the countryside and when travelling abroad.
This is a library we built to simplify access to RESTful APIs in applications using Redux. After a few apps built using thunks for RESTful access, we wanted something that was a bit more opinionated and required less ceremony. There is also an accompanying library, (studiokit-auth-js) [https://github.com/purdue-tlt/studiokit-auth-js], that sits on top of this library and handles authentication and bearer token management. We've used it in production at Purdue for about 18 months now. As the original architect of this library, I thought I'd post it in the event it's useful to others.
The price is what people will pay for. What you charge should depend entirely on the clients budget and competing bids. You should charge as much as they can bear.
How many items are listed on Is it Keto?

I'm not seeing results for my first two searches Pickles, and Mayonnaise.

Also its not imminently clear after doing a search that the search bar will let you do another "Is it Keto" search because of the change in style.

Did you do a "Is X Keto" keyword search in Adwords to come up with your initial list of foods?

But I mean, you're not wrong. In the environment you're thinking of, the "tech ladder" is a farce. Which is why the parent, as he said, left that company.

CircleCI has made the claim that they have a true tech ladder, and there's no reason to disbelieve them.

Problem I have with Econ 101 BS is this. Different industry, in the city I grew up in the four large electrical contractors get busted every 10-15 years for bid rigging city and county contracts. They pay fines, no one goes to jail. I feel like this sort of stuff also goes on with private bids, but it never gets called out.
You can, but you're probably not going to find whatever books the OP was referring to printed on that paper. You'll have to scan them and print them on that paper yourself (assuming that laser toner will also last as long; probably so, given it's basically melted plastic, but I'm not sure).

IIRC the android revenue is rolled into the x-box revenue under some nebulous category when they break out revenue in their earning (forget the exact title). This hides the massive losses they are taking on x-box and all things x-box related. The android revenue is almost pure profit and nearly $2B annually. (they make this money by licencing patents to phone makers that use android such as HTC and Samsung)

I'm an undergraduate majoring in Data Science at Berkeley. I was previously CS before this major: so I have a solid understanding of software development. I'm looking for a job this summer that could potentially transition into a full time role at the start of 2020. Fall 2019 is my last semester before I graduate. My preferred roles include Data Scientist, Data Engineer, or any sort of Backend/Infrastructure/DevOps role that could take advantage of data.
China Company That Paid Debt in Ham Instead of Cash Is Running Low on Pigs
As a certain Chinese person recently learned, you can start a trip in Country A, get arrested on a stopover in Country B on your way to Country C, accused of breaking the laws of Country D because you (allegedly) did business in Country E through a subsidiary in Country F.

I’m worried about getting deported to Saudi Arabia (never been) because I drank alcohol in my home country, but happen to stopover in a country that yields to large cash payments to enforce its extra-territorial laws.
Eventually, any sufficiently pithy observation on HN will be isomorphic to starting a flamewar.
Reporters are people. All people have inescapable biases. It is naive to assume there is some easy way to be "objective".
In the US, it is already illegal for genetic information to be used as a qualification for employment.

(a) Discrimination Based on Genetic Information.--It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer--

(1) to fail or refuse to hire, or to discharge, any employee, or otherwise to discriminate against any employee with respect to the compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment of the employee, because of genetic information with respect to the employee; or

(2) to limit, segregate, or classify the employees of the employer in any way that would deprive or tend to deprive any employee of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect the status of the employee as an employee, because of genetic information with respect to the employee.

This is the kind of thing that makes people not believe in the OP's story, because this is absolutely ridiculous.

It's called cookie and fragment tracking across the Internet. That's what happened to you. You sold yourself out by browsing the web without sufficient content blockers.
Wait. Your issue with snopes is that they said "there is no meaningful evidence that [x] is true" and you're mad that when you said "but I have anecdata" they weren't interested?

that's not how this works...
I bet if there was an option to voluntarily enable this, many people would say yes! eg. "Do you want us to use your data to help catch criminals / rescue those wrongly accused?"

Same way as asking "Do you want to be an organ donor?".
May projects use some document generators or tools to collect metrics. However some build-systems that were really interesting were OpenCV and OpenSSL.

OpenSSL buildsystem is over 6k lines of perl scripts which communicate over pipes.

OpenCV uses cmake, python and prolog for it's build. Until this day, I have no clue why there is prolog involved.

You can read some bits about it in our initial announcement of buildinfer: https://hackernoon.com/announcing-buildinfer-for-c-3dfa3eb15...
The US has more miles of track than the next two countries (Russia and China, 2/3 of the countries larger than the US in area!) combined. This is actually a decline from the peak in the 1910s, as a result of the consolidation in the industry to the present day 7 Class I railroads (UP, BNSF, CSX, NS, CP, CN, KCS). We don't need any more rails.

The US's freight rail industry is generally praised throughout the world in terms of its capabilities to move lots of freight--countries like Germany want to bring their freight rail up to US standards. Trying to reconfigure the system to be up to European standards in passenger movement is going to come largely at the expense of freight movement, and the geography of the US is such that said transition is going to be a net negative.
What problem do you find there? I also hope that your response to a request for support in favor of a very strong claim isn’t to vaguely reference a single example. The fact that the example seems nonexistent makes it a bit worse, but not by much.
> This is dangerous nonsense and I think it is a travesty that such an opinion has been effectively normalized. News is supposed to be objective.

Bovine excrement and worse words. It is not an opinion that has been normalized. It is an acknowledgement of reality, of the lack of objective observers in any field not directly measurable with a pair of calipers--and it is a reality that people of certain epistemic closures wish to attack because that reality threatens those epistemic closures and the goals they wish to achieve with them.

Usually venal goals. But I digress.

So yeah, it's worse than not nonsense, at least for your argument: it's history. It's reality. News is not and has not ever been objective at any point you will name. Setting aside any reporting at all? At the absolute minimum, the most trusted names in news at any point in mass media have been selective in what they reported through that mass media apparatus and that is itself bias. Meanwhile? You have people the "unbiased news!" folks want to point at, like Walter Cronkite, who directly formed Americans' opinion on the Vietnam War by declaring it a "stalemate". No "unbiased news" would say that; they'd just say "well, this is happening". But to not characterize the state of the conflict would itself mislead those consuming that news. "Unbiased news" is the box score and nothing more and it's a superficial and broken way of viewing the world.

Meat robots get by on the box score. Thinking creatures require context and no context will ever, ever be unbiased. Analysis--filtering, concluding, fact-checking--is part of news. And it cannot be separated from an attention economy either personal or societal.

I'm sorry that that upsets you so, but only a little.
>Why did he do it? It must have been like a video game for him. He rarely interacted with people directly.

Seems obvious to me. He got sick of the open-plan office environment he had to suffer with at regular jobs as a coder, but as a crime boss he got his own private office. Plus, he probably didn't have to attend any more boring meetings.
Whole genome sequencing is now available for well under $1000 and prices continue to drop.

https://us.dantelabs.com/blogs/news/whole-genome-sequencing-...

I understand that forensic DNA comparisons are currently simpler and more error-prone, but it seems like whole-genome comparison is already cheap enough that it could be used for comparing suspect DNA with crime scene DNA in important cases. At some point I expect it to become the new standard.

The "what about flawed DNA matches?" arguments against using this technology in law enforcement raise valid concerns, but I think that these specific objections may be obsolete in a few more years.
If I spend 8h looking into some software, basically paying 1000 USD consulting fees, does this create an attached interest?

At least for the s3 bucket is justified because those are meant to be accessible, but the databases?
When hyperbole, exaggeration, rounding and jokes are repackaged, decontextualized and repeated as sober truth, they become false / lies.

Do you have examples of Snopes going out of their way to label hyperbole, etc. as lies in a rhetorical / dishonest manner? Or do you have examples of them clarifying what's hyperbole vs reality?

I ask because people usually produce examples of the latter.
Do you read either, right now?

The NYT is suuuuuuuper biased. I want liberal freedoms to be allowed to people, but they are pushing an agenda. Really strong.

I don't want to subsidize the stories I don't care about. That's the difference. Why should we?

The New Yorker is a little better, but it's still "people" focused. I want more macro views.

I tried WSJ and Financial Times. Both suffered a bit from "fluff" and I wasn't going to give them $300/yr to feel like I was paying for filler.

I'm sad that you think I'm incapable of appreciating newspapers or magazines. I just think that both of those concepts are failing. What's the future look like?
