That's fair, but it still strikes me as a democratically weaker system for it.

Has the Parliament ever exercised their veto against a president?
It doesn't, though. They are obligated to immediately remove this as soon as they attain knowledge of the infringement.

You, however, are cheerleading an obligation to somehow prevent anything infringing on anyone's rights from appearing online in the first place – which is just practically impossible, and any forced attempt is bound to massively cut into free speech.

After all, there's no registry of copyrighted content. Everything creative is copyrighted automatically. If I take a photo of a tree and send it to you, according to Article 13 a service like Instagram now has to (a) make best efforts to acquire a license for that photo from me and (b) prevent you from uploading it there – how on earth should they do either?

Making platforms directly liable for all posts/uploads in practice just means they can no longer accept posts/uploads – not that artists will magically get rich.
Sure, but we can cope with that. If we can look at a photo and think to ourselves, “perhaps it was photoshopped?”, why will we be unable to do the same for a video? Would we not be even more likely to do that if faking videos becomes trivial and presumably universally accessible? In particular the specific scenario I responded to seems like fear mongering.
I think this is a dangerous approach, as the more aggressive drivers are more willing to play chicken and risk a collision. of course I follow the same rule myself.

1. It is associative, which make it predictable, and yes, better.

2. It is commutative, which makes it non-trivial to emulate with Git, a system where nothing commutes (on purpose).

Of course, you can obviously do your merges manually, rebase the world at each new commit, cherry-pick and rerere to emulate what Pijul gives you for free. But then is your job writing code or showing your proficiency at Git?

Right, first off the quality of pics on IG is abysmal, not even talking about the aspect ratio limitation.
And on top of that you have to search very hard to find actual og content on instagram, everyone is copying the trend of the week/month thinking they're hip [0]. It's like watching straight to DVD movies for their artistic value.

There are two kind of people on ig:

- narcissistic people who live through their projections, seeking approval from strangers / acquaintances.

- advertisers / "influencers" trying to brainwash <15 years old into thinking that life is all about how you look and what you consume.

>They are quite neutral and generally "human friendly".

They are certainly reasonable and human-friendly! But "you shouldn't be xenophobic or transphobic" is still, unfortunately, a relatively left-wing idea. It excludes people who openly hold beliefs that are very popular within the mainstream American right.
I don’t like the government banning anything really, rather I would prefer that they just keep raising the price. Once cigarettes become $100 a pack people will stop. Those that really want a cigarette, they can buy them if they want, but at some point when you’re paying five dollars per cigarette even the most addicted (or stupid) person will quit.
Our productivity has indeed grown immensely, but, for good or for bad, instead of making things cheaper we're directing all our free resources to making them better.

Instead of cheaper cars we're making safer cars, instead of cheaper houses we're building bigger houses, and so on.
Which is fine, as long as they are understood and mitigated against. If your security policy consists entirely of "keep software up to date", you don't have a security policy.

Because all female authors universally get fantastic acclaim and success purely because they are women, because their gender is enough to shoot them to the top of the literary elite regardless of merit. Or something. Sheesh.

Earthsea opened my eyes to a different way of seeing the world. Maybe part of that was because she was a woman, sure, but plenty of male authors have equally given me useful insights into masculinity too though, so it's all good. Her gender was simply one of the attributes she brought to the table, as with any author. The important thing is she did so with such consummate skill and creativity.

The 1st paragraph is sounding close to something I can agree with.
This has happened countless times: A very ill received proposal meets sufficient public resistance to be publicly labeled as "defeated", only to resurface in an almost identical version months/years later. It seems obvious that strong powers playing the long game are lobbying to see this passed.

In addition to the other replies: one big draw of specific servers/instances is the local timeline, a feed of every post on a server. While you can connect to anyone, discovering new people is much easier on the same instance. For this reason people prefer small, specific instances.

The Mastodon culture is also fairly opposed to large instances. Mastodon.social (the "flagship") is widely criticised for allowing itself to grow much larger than other instances. The community prefers small, homely intantances, median size is probably about 500 users, like this one. This may seem weird to outsiders, but instances like this one are one of the main draws of Mastodon.

The drivers should know to leave just enough space in front of them for the car on the other lane to merge. Having to stop for a merge makes everything slower. It takes longer to accelerate so longer to clear the jam. Ideally one lane slows down and leaves some spaces between the cars, and the other one merges 1 to 1 without anyone ever having to brake to a full stop.

And I see this working every day since where I live the rule applies. Of course there will always be the occasional smart guy who rides in the ass of the car in front in order to not let anyone pass and save 1-2 seconds at the price of causing everyone behind him 10 times the delay. This forces the cars trying to merge to come to a full stop, then forces some of the cars on the other lane to fully stop in order for the merging cars to be able to accelerate and merge.

> Almost all professional criminals know the antidote for this kind of interrogation. Military must know it too.

Military interrogation is very different from criminal interrogation. The goals are different on both sides of the table. As a general rule, captives in a military setting are more concerned with the lives of others than their own. The opposite is true in a criminal situation. This changes the tactics dramatically.

Example: your squad is captured behind enemy lines. Two of your guys are severely wounded. Your captor asks you for some information that you know is unclassified in exchange for medical care for your buddies. Do you stay silent?

Before anyone says "they have to give medical care because of Geneva", remember we live in the real world.
I use it. About 6 months ago I deleted my facebook and instagram accounts. I found that I didn't miss my facebook in the slightest. I didn't miss much about my instagram, but I did find that I missed how easy it was to share photos of myself and my family with extended family and close friends, and to see theirs.

Since then I've created a new account, but I've only followed about 15 of my closest friends/family. None of them are aspiring "influencers", and so the content I'm seeing doesn't have any product placement, political messaging, or really anything other than photos/video updates on my friends. As a result, I don't have much of a reason to check it more than once a week or so. It feels like a much better balance than previously and so I find myself appreciating the app, what little I use of it. I think a lot of the problems people have with it arise when they are using the platform to find "content" ala YouTube or HackerNews rather than simply a social network for sharing your personal media with people you actually know.

Coming from someone who never did any coding (beyond assignments in class) during college and learned it within a month after starting my first real job, you'll have to take on the role of mentor for them. One of the things holding me back from learning programming earlier was having no real "entry point", it's easy to get the basics (syntax etc) down but when it comes to actually applying them, I've found it incredibly helpful to have someone I could ask my "stupid" questions. Teaching yourself new things is a skill that comes with time (imo) but when you don't even know what you're looking for, it can be very hard to find that info yourself - so having someone looking over your shoulder who knows things like "oh there's already a built-in function for that" etc is invaluable.

The got a good product, it makes money, lots of people use it. Aren't they afraid of "winning" the market so completely that they can only look forward only to a downhill ride?

Is it simply because they took investor money and now need to grow like bejeezus to pay them back?
> I don't understand what justifies Pijul's existence.

The argument basically is: Darcs is better at the fundamentals than git is, and the reason for its lack of popularity is that it implemented those fundamentals inefficiently leading to exponential time use in some cases.

So the justification is that some people want Darcs fundamentals but with the speed of git. Now: if you don't buy that Darcs does anything fundamentally better than git then obviously you also won't allow it as an argument for why Pijul is needed. But it is the argument.

The pijul manual starts with a "Why pijul" that describes why the more complex patch theory is an advantage.

https://pijul.org/manual/why_pijul.html

it outlines an example "bad merge" scenario where patches theoretic system gets it right and git does not.

It wasn’t that all that long ago (mid-2000s) that these were banned in the UK and Netherlands.

I remember little mushroom stalls in Camden market which sold all kinds of interesting fungi, packaged and shrink-wrapped just like you’d see in a supermarket.
This one seems constructive, concerning, outlines events prior to today, and was posted before your post:

"Mandrill also recently got rid of their status page. A few months ago, their API has started returning nginx errors, and their status page looked like a Christmas tree; every reload would indicate different green/orange statuses. The certificate their MX servers uses is invalid (wrong domain), which prevents email delivery from compliant Danish email servers."
I actually heard a lot of silly arguments between people who all have the same native language about orange vs red vs pink, or where is the border between blue and green. So not so sure it's about language, or culture.
A US driver and it may not be the law but the zipper move is certainly the norm in my area.

Again an article making a generalization about the US without recognizing how large it is and the vast differing cultural norms and laws between states and regions.
>> Is it really just "I worked hard for it why should I give it away"

No it's more "I worked hard for it why should it be taken from me by force or fiat". I've found most folks who are well off (not living hand to mouth) are willing, and do give to charity. It's when some other group of people start demanding this behavior through governmental force when attitudes change.

Is there really such a thing as a post-scarcity society? Certain things will always be scarce. Beachfront real estate. Penthouses. Apartments next to a park or downtown. Sure we can get arguably get to a point where energy, food, and maybe small to medium sized items are free but if Jill Smith wants 400 cars where is she going to put them? Even if we all beam into cyberspace there will not be unlimited storage nor unlimited computation. There will still need to be a way to either get more from the powers that be for special needs or it will be traded leading back to have and have-nots.
Boroditsky should not be trusted. Her research is highly flawed and has many issues. And one of her most 'impactful' studies relies on data that has been 'publication forthcoming' since 2002! I'll edit/add another comment with more detail and links to some linguistic rebuttal when I'm on a computer
I remember in 9th grade there was one kid who complained the entire year about how he would never use algebra. He asked his dad and his dad said he had never used algebra. He must have brought this up 30 times and each time the teacher tried to give practical answers like calculating how much fertilizer or deer feed (we lived in a farming community). He was unswayed. Comically, he gave answers where algebra would be helpful if he knew, but because his dad didn’t know it was difficult (simultaneous solution for cow auction of different types of cows).

Just because you think you haven’t used or didn’t use, doesn’t mean it’s not useful. First, maybe I didn’t use because I didn’t know how to use. Second, maybe there is more to the world than me and the probability of folks needing info is 95% and I’m in the 5% of the lucky/unlucky.

I try to learn things based on curiosity and intrinsic value that I try to estimate. The act of learning is valuable as a system and I’m frequently surprised by putting unlikely topics together.
I find it interesting that an app for photo sharing is considered better for sharing updates with friends, than a service such as Facebook designed for sharing updates with friends.

Similarly I was shocked to discover that people chat on Instagram, despite many good messaging apps.

It’s the networks right? I have friends who organise parties on gist.github.com and that works pretty well... for a certain group.

Oddly was listening to big short soundtrack late last night.
In one vote in the EP, something similar was proposed as an alternative:

* Make (big) platforms provide APIs with which rightholders can check new posts for their copyrighted content and request either removal or monetisation

* Give uploaders 48 hours to contest removal requests before they are honoured, during which their uploads stay online, but may be removed from search results

* Once an infringement is identified and not contested, all earned revenue goes to the rightholders

That's rather sensible. However, it was voted down in favor of just making platforms legally liable for all uploads. https://juliareda.eu/2018/09/copyright-showdown/ (The "EPP group" proposals won – that's the Parliament position, not to be confused with the Council's, which are yet to be fully reconciled).

It's amazing how we are watching use cases for notebooks and spreadsheets converging.

>I don't disagree, but the time that passes limits your ability to respond in the present.

What examples are there of any meaningful "responding in the present" that happened because of news (as opposed because of directly suffering some oppression on yourself)?
How does this make any sense? Why should you distrust news because they report on inconsequential stuff? Whatever is on twitter is still a real fact because they repeat, verbatim what people post on it.

Distrust implies they're lying to you, when most of the time they aren't.

The process of choosing the name of a commercial product will (should) always contain some degree of marketing. Another, quite funny example:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming#History

More generally, it is quite difficult (out of chemistry at least) to maintain names that describe things to the point that you can “reason” about the chosen symbol. The space is too crowded, etimologies lose their stronghold on meaning when context is added to words, etc. One person chooses with more or less foresight the name of something, and from then on it is just inertia, fashion, and meme evolution that drive names. It is better to not think a lot about why the name of X is Y, out of curiosity, lest you end up frustrated with how random it is.
Recently moved our company from Mandrill to SendGrid - mainly because we were having deliverability issues with Mandrill.

We're definitely a lot happier from that perspective (and obviously given this issue I'm glad we moved), and overall it's really good. A couple of things to be aware of:

- Unlike Mandrill you can't send with a test API key and then view the emails. We end up sending real emails to a test inbox, which has some pros and cons - but cons include it costing email sends, and Gmail being awkward and silently de-duping sometimes.

- You also can't view sent email content, at all (beyond the subject). Mandrill you can, Sendgrid don't seem to save it.

- Mandrill/others probably has the same issue, but SendGrid without your own IP sends emails to new recipients extremely slowly. And they lock your whole account while they're doing it, password resets won't send to existing recipients and nor will test emails to your test inbox.

- You also only get 3 days of email send history, you can pay for up to 30 I think. I'm not sure what the rule was with Mandrill but they seemed to keep a lot more available, though their search would time out most of the time so I'm not sure how much was really there and accessible.
The tax information is way off, at least for Canada. I'm guessing they are quoting federal taxes only, ignoring provincial taxes. In Ontario/Toronto, the highest combined marginal taxes are around 54% [0]

You gave instagram a license to share your content.

I'm pretty sure, neither Adam Curtis nor the BBC gave Google a license to share Hypernormalization or sell ads on it. If I buy the DVD of it and show it with a protector outside for free on a summer evening for anyone to watch I could be arrested.

That world makes no sense to me. It's unfair and wrong.
We already have wealth distribution: the rich get their lawyers to allow them to dodge taxes and jail time, just furthering their ability to gain more wealth, while the rest of us play by their trickle down rigged tax system.
I agree. I am currently reading the classic "Manufacturing Consent" and I find it a great critique of the mainstream media in such a way that can be emulated on a personal level.

I like that it shows how to be critical of mainstream media while consuming it and without needing to adopt a pseudo-conspiracy "alternative fact" mindset.
Does a step like this help lead to research opportunities (in a few more years an legal pushes)?

Regarding general trends in the legalization movement and related spaces:

> The interest in CBD currently seems like a soft, first step for many people into the realm of what was once perceived as very bad or dangerous (e.g. Reefer Madness). Plus the wave of recreationalization in the US.

> Canada is an interesting position due to the legalization movement; I'm curious if they are poised to become the global leader in "mj" research and the pharmaceuticals/medicines derived from that research. Or is the market just waiting for the US to become federally unfettered ("sleeping giant")?
I'm jealous of present day students.
