> Platforms run by startups (small and micro-sized businesses) are exempted from the law.

Are they? From what I understand, in the latest proposal they're not except. Or maybe only when they're less than 3 years old, which isn't very helpful.

The real problem is that the technology for this doesn't even exist, and if it exists, it exists only in the hands of Facebook and Google, forcing everybody else into their arms, giving Facebook and Google even more power.

> Licenses that platforms take out cover uploads by their users, as long as they act non-commercially or “don’t generate significant revenues”

So that means every single blog has to get licenses with an unlimited number of potential rights holders on the off chance that a commenter might quote something from them. That's completely unreasonable.

> Believe it or not, the platforms are already liable in case of legal infringement, it's not really different from before.

It is different, because after this passes, platforms are required to filter using technology that doesn't exist, and will probably err on simply blocking nearly everything from the EU, just to be safe.

Has any of the supporters of this law considered that in order to check all uploads against copyrighted material, every single platform needs access to a database containing every single copyright work? Nowhere have I seen any reasonable explanation of how this is supposed to work.
> But then they made it increasingly precise, then targeted 10 ms pause times, then sub-millisecond, and so on. All with far fewer knobs than the Oracle JVM.

The number of "knobs" in Go's GC is the same as that of G1: max pause time and max memory usage. (HotSpot has more intuitive names for its configuration settings compared to Go's confusing names.) More importantly, Go's GC sacrifices a very large amount of throughput in pursuit of low latency at all costs. This is not a very good tradeoff for most applications.

I would be interested in a write-up of that.
I'm pretty sure that no.

I mean, in France, we have way better average tomatoes, and a greater culture of the farmer market. Food in general actually.

Yet, I still find many people that have no idea what it's supposed to taste like.

Because you can only buy that taste great during a small part of the year, and only at some vendors.

Still this is plenty, but compared to the avalanche of products that are good enough, and marketted as incredible despite being far from the real thing, it's a small %.

Now here is the kicker, a lot of people growing the tomatoes in their garden will not have great ones either. They will have pretty good ones. But they often don't have the soil, the insects, the sun or the seed to get the result. It's not incompetence, mind you, or ignorance, or stupidity.

It's just that those things are getting rarer and rarer.

> There's obviously a market for them, no matter how much purists might whine.

It's not whining, and it's not being a purist. It's a public health issue. Having vegetable that taste better than junk food is an asset to make people eat healthier. Being "good enough" doesn't work.
Only if they wouldn't have bought it if they hadn't moved to the US.
I see this as the real crux. New business starts necessarily take labor out of the market while also increasing its demand (maybe not instantaneously).

I will be controversial and argue that the male sex compounds their income at a greater rate than the female sex principally because their genetical nature causes investment activity contra females which generally consume. Therefore With more women in the labor markets, there has been a drag on wages.

> I really think that saving our species starts with eradicating poverty, ensuring that 100% of the global population doesn't need to worry about water, food, shelter, healthcare and education.

Yes, but in the reverse order.

To be able to spend resources on any of that you need educated people who understand this. Who allow themselves to empathize with others, don't give in to their more-or-less innate xenophobia (and other kinds of ingroup vs outgroup hysteria), and so on.
> You're implying the creator of the website is okay letting you receive the service or content on your terms.

Fine, but this cuts both ways. They're wrongly assuming I'm okay accepting arbitrary content on their terms.

The no-blocker system holds that by navigating to a URL, I accept whatever the domain owner cares to serve me. We had one attempt to embed user conditions in the request, that was Do Not Track, and the most common outcome was that sites neither honored it nor put up walls against users; they simply disregarded it and kept tracking. In fact, they started to fingerprint users based on their request to not be tracked.

If, prior to using a site, I want to see what it asks me to give up in terms of privacy and security, I don't know an alternative to visiting the site with blocking in place. The creator can put up a wall and tell me to turn it off, in which case I'll make a site-specific decision to leave or disable blockers just like I do for cookies. This isn't hypothetical, I do it regularly.

If I bypass a wall or ignore clear notice that I don't have permission to browse with blockers, then sure, we're both lying to each other about our usage conditions and it's just an arms race. But I reject the idea that an initial visit to a site constitutes consent to accept some unknown pile of privacy intrusions and security risks; the moral burden there really is on the site owner who's circumventing a clear refusal to accept those things.
He discusses this point in his conclusion. He was also expecting to find a single, clear factor but didn't. Even if multiple factors causing a single large change is relatively rare, we'd still expect to see it sometimes, and he's arguing that this is one of those times. I found the argument relatively convincing.

Fasting is possibly the most effective and powerful health tool I have come across.

Confirmation of the old Spanish proverb: "es mejor estar solo que mal acompañado." https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/es%20mejor%20estar%20s...
No you can't. A non-negligible minority of the population will conflate "inconvenient to me" statements or actions with "rude" statements or actions. Standing up for what you believe or what's right or what's correct by definition necessitates conflict with whoever you're standing up to and sometimes people take it personally.
I think it's possible Bloomberg's "tiny chip" was a BMC, and that BMC was found with a backdoor in it, but the backdoor may not have necessarily come "from factory," but was later added by someone else.

Either way, this looks terrible for SuperMicro: "Yeah, our servers don't come with built-in backdoors - it's just SuperEasy™ for attackers to add one once shipped -- please buy more now."

I only skimmed, but...there weren't a bunch of supporting arguments in this piece, right? The argument is basically "people in cages is bad", which seems like a reasonable take if you never question why people are in there.

Anger doesn't "mark...our reaction to encountering a wrong" if our reaction is not grounded in truth.

There is plenty of room for criminal justice reform, but not by banning prisons, and not by this kind of argumentation.
Maybe you would have more luck if you cited better sources. I clicked on your link and just got a page of dozens of Excel files. Which one are you referring to?

On P7, it says median income in 2017 was $31,786. In 1974 (as far back as the data goes), median income in 2017 dollars was $23,984.

Compare HN to a 1TB SD card data dump.

I don't see the parallels.

HN is basically current events social media where people even admit they read the comments instead of TFA. And I think that getting lost on Wikipedia every few weeks is a far cry from browsing old shit on a 1TB SD card for fun in your ramshackle hovel with the family Android tablet.

To me it kinda comes off as the hilarious "wow, those poor people must be so bored watching their paint dry. Maybe I can interest them in something nobody does" wrapped up in some feel good idea about sharing knowledge.
But article 13 is a single issue thing for me. If article 13 passes then nothing else the EU can do will ever make up for it other than repealing it. Repealing anything in the EU is virtually impossible though.

I think the long-term implications of article 13 are bad enough that if it were financially possible for me, I would move out of the EU. A free and open internet is one of the few nice things in life for me.
Dubbing is a major industry in many non-English-speaking countries (Germany, France, Spain, Italy etc), employing more than half of voice actors -- so it's generally not some DIY cottage industry, but professional audio engineers and voice actors. They don't just use subtitles, they use the original video/audio to lip-sync as well as possible.

I don't think WikiReader was every "widely distributed". As far as I remember from watching Techmoan's video on the topic, it was a consumer product with no market.

An alternative data point would be https://www.edutopia.org/blog/self-organized-learning-sugata... - the hole in the wall computer that showed giving access to the internet to poor children did have a dramatic effect.
Especially relevant here, since if all the income went to a single person, and everyone else was reduced to living under bridges, the average wage would stay the same.
The implication that being the father of daughters has some kind of special relevance for one's views on prisons strikes me as poorly thought out. At best it comes across as paternalistic.

The USA is by all accounts a 'rogue' state by its own definition of the term (China is too).

It doesn't abide by international conventions or laws, it engages in wars of aggression, it bullies smaller nations into accepting laws and trade agreements favourable to itself. It pushes crap like the DMCA globally.

Of course it doesn't care about international law.

Superpowers get away with this for a time, until everybody else wises up to the fact that nobody is following the rules.
A number of reasons I work for major conglomerate which has over 200 brands and operates in getting on for 200 countries.

In the USA for one brand they sell different products to the UK than the USA for another brand they use a different brand entirely in the USA to the rest of the world.

I believe the discussion on the morality of making imprisonment the default choice is pretty interesting:

"But we are not merely allowing the abomination of the prison. We are promoting it (and in popular culture and politics, romanticizing it). And in the case of the very limited number of those with deeply disordered desires, we are taking the tremendously difficult task of healing, a task best addressed locally, in families, neighborhoods, and communities, and elevating it the level of the state, where rationalized violence compounds and conceals the real harm that must be addressed."
> A bit more precisely, in physics a tensor is an object that transforms a particular way during coordinate transformations

No offence, but that's a hideous definition :)

For me a (real) tensor is a function that takes an ordered set of N row vectors and M column vectors as arguments, and spits back a real number as a result. It has to be linear in its arguments. That's all folks!

By this token a matrix A is a tensor: it takes one row vector x, and one column vector y, and returns a real number xAy.

Similarly, a row vector x is a tensor: feed it a column vector y and you get the real number xy.

You can dress all this up in the language of linear functionals or n-forms, but at core that's what's going on.
There are multiple parties opposing Article 13. You can still let other issues determine that choice. But surely internet freedom is a really big issue on the EU level. I can't think of any other current issue that's so clear cut. Well, Brexit, I suppose, but that's mostly up to the UK.

Geographic location is incredibly ineffective anyway depending on your ISP and other factors.

Rather than defaulting to English, why not default to whatever the browser's OS is set to? At least for JS apps, there's navigator.languages, and there's an Accept-Language header for both language and locale for standard server-rendered plain ol' websites.

Geographic location really does seem like the worst possible option to use.

You think the public is going to be opposed to _this_ sort of thing, because of what they've heard about the _actual_ statistical algorithmic things?

I seriously doubt it. I think the author was trying to do exactly the reverse, get people to _support_ the statistical algorithmic things because of this thing, which seems obviously a good idea.

It seems like (exagerrated of course) saying "Yeah, I know you don't like autonomous military robots killing people, but you like YOUR TOASTER, right? It also works on electric power, and turns itself off unattended when your toast is done. Maybe there's a role for Autonomous Killing Robots after all, they might even be able to toast your bread with their lasers!"

Most of the public has never even heard the term "algorithmic justice", of course. You're saying "the public doesn't care about those distinctions," but it's the OP author _suggesting_ we include software providing _decision-making_ based on statistical algorithms, along with simple rule-based automation, both under "algorithmic justice", _rather_ than making a distinction. The OP author encouraging us not to make distinctions. I think the public is smart enough to distinguish between software that is _making decisions_ and software that isn't, and it's the OP that is asking this distinction not be made. As the public is indeed just starting to learn how to think about and categorize these things, I think it's irresponsible to try to educate them _not_ to make distinctions, and I think it's being done for an agenda.
