Neither natural selection nor even something arguably even more fundamental like physics or chemistry can be appealed to for evidence regarding anything in the external world, for they and the observations that presumably led to them may not be from or about the external world at all. Once again, all of them could be merely hallucinations, or you could be insane, or manipulated in to thinking them, or your thinking may be impaired, etc. You or I might think they make sense, but that doesn't matter, since our beliefs about them does not in any way endow them with the power to be an accurate description of the way the external world is, nor do we have any way to check to see if that's the way the external world is.

Kant's noumenon is not merely something we are uncertain about, but something that is completely and utterly inaccessible to use, that we are hermetically sealed off from by our experience (at least from Kant's and the representationalist's point of view). Of course, you can come up with probabilities regarding some conjectures you have regarding the noumenon, but as you can never get to the noumenon there's no way to test or verify them, so they're completely pointless and essentially arbitrary. In any event, those probabilities (and any other thoughts you may have) are all subject to the same objections as those listed in the first paragraph, as they're all just more experience.

Legislative power is co-held by the parliament and the council: the parliament is directly elected by the people and the council is elected by the governments that were elected by the people.
On the other hand, the copyright owners will have a harder time finding the allegedly infringing material. A bot that can find and scrape media on any website needs to be pretty advanced, especially if the site is using encrypted media extensions. And after that, getting into contact with the owner of the site is not trivial. It won't be worth the effort in the majority of cases. The centralisation of media on youtube, soundcloud etc has been very practical for litigious copyright owners.

I think the standards in academia are quite different than those in the workplace, primarily because the expected outcomes are quite different.

In academia, the instructors are attempting to tease out your understanding of the underlying concepts. Cutting and pasting even two lines of code from an online source doesn't show the instructor that you understand the concept.

In development, snipping well-written pieces of code is an efficient use of time, assuming the programmer is competent enough to understand the code they just snipped. We reuse common libraries for the same reason; once you solve a problem with a testable, proven solution, it's not a good use of time to have every developer redo that solution.

The main caveat, as illustrated in another comment in this thread, is the issue of licensing. Although I certainly have snipped from good stackoverflow answers, the times I build my own libraries from scratch I often crib from well-proven open source solutions with permissive licenses instead of rolling my own. It should be standard practice (and I recognize that I'm preaching to myself as much as anyone else) to reference those snips, not only for IP integrity but to provide a trail of breadcrumbs for your future self (or anyone else investigating your code) as to where that code came from and the rationale for it.
Thanks for sharing! I have spent a lot of time as a solo founder and I’ve spent time as a co-founder. I thought it might be helpful to contrast my experiences.

As a solo founder I found that the highs were muted and the lows were amplified. This likely won’t be true for everyone but this was very true for me.

As a solo founder I often felt like I had no idea if I was working on the right thing because there are so many things that need to be done. Being able to divide and conquer is a great feeling.

I’ve read that statistically your chances of succeeding are higher as a co-founder. This idea can really get in your head if your having a rough week.

As a co-founder you might sometimes feel like you are carrying all of the weight and others are benefiting more from your hard work. Don’t worry, the next time you get sick they will carry on for you. It goes both ways. Not everyone will put out the same effort every day but hopefully it averages out.

Personally I’m a very social person even though I sometimes feel like an introvert. Just because you can live life alone doesn’t mean it is the best choice for everyone. Now that I’m married and have a daughter I can’t imagine how lonely I would be if I had to go back to experiencing life alone. Similarly, working with people who you care about to some degree can be a great reward and motivator.

Everyone is different and solo founders can be successful. For me, having experienced both, I will find a friend to join me on my journies from now on.
Anyone know a good book on the continuation war in english?
I wish this was true: in the negotiations, it was clear that many of the supporters of Article 13 felt that this was too much of an exception, and will, in the upcoming transposition into national law, seek to cover as much as they can. As someone else mentioned, one way is to say that anything not run as an official non-profit for its official purposes is covered. Another is to target the inevitably commercial elements of even not-for-profit platforms (services that offer pre-packaged Mastodon instances for instance).

One of my priorities in the next two years is to protect as much of the decentralised Web from the effects of the Copyright Directive, but it's not going to be easy. The large platforms, in their negotiations with the rightsholders who pushed for this directive, will have the explicit intent to turn it into a moat that can limit the growth of competitors, including non-commercial alternatives.

The rightsholders see even the smallest platform as a lawless environment that has no redeeming features, and worse than the now-regulated giants. Without active and co-ordinated lobbying by decentralised Net advocates, they will paint these alternatives as a "new generation of Pirate Bays", just as they did with YouTube and its predecessors.

Fair enough.

Although I remember plenty of comments on HN about how Facebook et al. would be blocking EU users because it would be too expensive for them to comply with GDPR.

One or two US based newspaper websites were all I noticed blocking access because of compliance reasons. I expect a similar impact due to Article 13.
> All for-profit plateforms over 3 years old are affected, even small ones

https://www.politico.eu/pro/germany-weighs-in-on-copyright-w...

So, what happened to that? ^

Parliament wanted:

> Apply the law to platforms that “optimise and promote” significant amounts of user-uploaded works and are not small businesses (turnover below €10M and less than 50 employees)

According to: https://juliareda.eu/2018/10/copyright-trilogue-positions/
Since she lived 12 years longer than her twin sister I think the calculable effect would be the NGF supplement gave her around 13.18% more benefits with the assumption that her twin sister didn't take ANY supplement. The calculation is unscientific and might not be reliable though.
A lot of solid advice. I’m surprised you learned so much in just your first year. It took me way longer for certain things to realize. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds exclusionary.
Yeah, i am really curious what approach will content hosting companies take.

Will they analyze each video if it is a illegal or legal one, checking everything... or just implement a simple, fast and cheap filter that will block most of the content, with no way to appeal the ruling, just like youtube is doing now...
Ah, that summary is helpful, thanks
While it might not seem so, I totally favor the enforcement of copyright laws (I still think they are over the top in their current form, but anyway, I am not against them). I just think that the individual user is responsible, not a platform. And this is what the big problem with all this is. We are living in a platform world as this eases things, yet they are given a task they can not possibly complete without essentially giving up on what they do). There will never be something like a European Youtube again, it is a financially impossible task now.
Another post from the same blog trashes another hypothesis: https://ciphermysteries.com/2014/02/08/voynichese-abjad

In it, way down at the bottom, the author drops a fairly concise argument for what I think is the most compelling hypothesis of all: That it's a covertext for a cipher. The idea that it's a message written in the clear is hard to reconcile with how the text doesn't behave at all like a natural language. The idea that it was a prank or an art project is hard to reconcile with just how much time and money was clearly spent in producing it. The idea that it's a legitimate book, but one where only a relatively small fraction of the text contains any semantic content, is relatively easy to reconcile with both.
The problem is that if you're working at a place that switches to the open office layout, which happened to me, there are only two options: deal with it, or quit.

I made my feelings known most emphatically, but I stuck it out for 2 years, and now we are moving back to cubicles. The thing is, so many people now work from home that the open office layout isn't so bad.
>The fact that I can see what's going on, feel the vibe of the office, distract myself for a bit should I so choose to do so. Or even if I want to put my headphones in and turn the music all the way up, I have the option and I really enjoy it.

Wtf is there to "see" going on? Who gives a shit about the "vibe"?

Also, how are using headphones or choosing to distract yourself not things you could do in any office environment?
When a company says it starts collecting data for the purpose of a and b then it is correct. Fine. However, the company very soon finds out that it can make more money out of the collected data when using it for purpose c and d.

I am sure the same will be done by the EU states in regards to upload filter. First, they use it in order to block data because there's a copyright in place, but very soon it's going to be blocked for other reasons (e.g. the user sends a message with a keyword the EU doesn't like etc.).
On a side note, saw a nice write-up celebrating the recent 25th anniversary of Selected Ambient Works Volume II:

https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/23648

I feel like that album has a lot of potential for generative experiments. Admittedly, the album has an over-arching tone of eeriness throughout, which isn't something I want to listen to while I work most days. Maybe it would be inspiring to game developers working in the horror genre :)
I think password management is a good fit for Mozilla. I perceive Mozilla to be trustworthy and competent, and the code for this is open source: https://github.com/mozilla-lockbox

They also generally do a good job with UI, which is not true of all open source solutions. This may not be crucial for devs, but it's crucial if we want to share passwords with the non-devs in our lives.
Does that rule contain a definition of 'platform'? I probably cannot just change the name every 3 years, can I?
No, technology is not a solution to regulatory issues.
Highly, highly, highly recommend Autechre's Incunabula, for people who are into Selected Ambient Works.
Ooh, nice one. That's an even better example than Beethoven.

Even better still: there's a song which consists of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. That's it - silence.

"Your latest video upload contains 5 seconds of stunned silence, which has been identified as an extract of 4'33". This extract is copyrighted. Your video has been deleted."
This is a very bad look, actively looking to punish others because they didn’t “accept your olive branch” after pointing out a mistake. I’d recommend you rethink your approach here.
Reminds of me a "spa confirmation" I got to my email a few weeks back from a spa 3,000+ miles from me. We called to clarify and they embarrassingly admitted that they used our email address, assuming it wasn't a legit address. The funny part is my email address is not generic like testguy@gmail.com. It was an amusing call.
Interesting, I’ll bite; what do you think are the main problems plaguing western democracy currently?
There's an element of curation - any rando can't just upload something to Debian, there's a web of trust.

But mainly I think it's that repositories are invariably built from source. Everything in a distro repository is open source software, guranteed to have been built from source from scratch. F-Droid does this, and its repositories are as clean as any Linux distro's as far as I can tell.

(This is why Moxie's claim that F-Droid is somehow less secure than Google Play because it signs its own .apks is weapons-grade baloneyum. On Google Play, that .apk could have anything in it. On F-Droid, that signature is a guarantee that that app has been downloaded and built from public sources, just like any Linux distribution. If F-Droid allowed developers to sign their own apps, then F-Droid couldn't build the apps, unless every app supported reproducible builds.)

I'm speaking more about the publics perception, rather than a technical definition that most on HN know.
Because politicians are stupid. If you look at the pros and cons of this law, Europe has nothing to gain. Not for the people, not for the companies.

This is a law that works to mainly serve the big copyright holders, and in a second degree, impacts the big tech multinationals (=read US companies) less than the smaller ones.

It makes no sense at all. Especially since all member states will have their own law. "Does our filter comply with Belgium law? Also with Luxemburg? And what about Slovenia?".

It's a big farce, that can only be approved by total morons that don't even bother to listen to people who actually know what they're talking about.

I have the same experience. My threshold seems to be about 8 days - meaning that I can resume exercise more or less ok after slacking (or being ill) for 8 days, but after 10 days it costs a lot more and I feel worse afterwards. Of course it is more like a ramp than a binary thing, but there's a "step" around the 9th day in the graph.
The distinction seems subtle

"how you recognize when you are being patronizing"

That's a good point. I'm fairly adept at recognizing when someone is trying to negotiate with me based on some kind of taught methodology. Because most of what's taught is counter to how you would do it naturally...thus it stands out.

Once you recognize it, the natural reaction is to feel like you're being manipulated with some technique.
The key question is the bottom-line, as you wrote. Management is really hard to scale, but right now innovation is a better prediction of growth than bug fixes, so I think it's not even clear how to improve the promotion process without hurting growth of the company.

I think Google is too big at this point already, but that's an orthogonal question.
It's nice to see clear information on the metrics collected: https://github.com/mozilla-lockbox/lockbox-android/blob/mast...

As long as it's clearly and openly communicated what telemetry is collected, I'm fine with an app collecting whatever information they want: I get to make the decision on whether I give up that information by (not) installing the app.
> It's worth noting that the study participants did not include people with diagnosed psychological ailments such as post-traumatic stress disorder. It's possible these warnings could be helpful to that subset of the population.

This caveat is large enough to drive a truck through. Trigger warnings aren't for people who prefer to avoid unpleasant experiences, they're meant for people who have involuntary and debilitating reactions to some kinds of stimulus.
Non profit platforms are easily bullied by legal threats. I really don't think they're the island of hope you're thinking of.
If you host a video that you don’t own you facilitate copyright theft.

Expect a takedown notice and it goes away.

These big companies let people upload their own videos.

Now they are liable for what their users share.

Expect them to disable letting users share videos.
While I do agree with your point on this, I do not think the Youtube's Content ID is cheap at all.
Someone disagreed with him, apparently.
You’re spot on that this is excellent pop sci writing.

However, I’d argue that this is the right level of technical detail for a layman. Just consider how much denser a typical academic paper is. This strikes a great balance in citing lots of research and offering accessibile summaries of that research. This keeps the reader from getting lost in jargon and references, but gives them the opportunity to dig in if they wish.

I think that science writing in this vein is much more likely to catch the public’s attention that the shallow science articles we typically see. It doesn’t insult the reader’s intelligence, rather it invites it.
Exactly. An anecdote (not my own) https://mtlynch.io/why-i-quit-google/
I would suspect that some of those apps are being removed. But they are cockroaches. Google can crush one of them but there are 100 more right behind it. The scammers response to automated moderation is automated submission.

Sorry to break it to you, but this happened to my daughter. Defaulted to 2018, she saved quickly (assuming her birth year was the default) without noticing.
I actually agree with this. From what I've read this new legislation pretty much just puts into writing what was already effectively the case for most people.
Also depends on how you use it.

If slow, long jogs aren't cutting it—hit the sprints. 20 seconds on (full out), 30 seconds off (medium-light pace), or some similar interval.
I’m trying to remember which service it was on. On second thought looking over IMDB top movies. The list probably is sort of similar. It really is hard to get a conesensus for top movies. Sure my own personal list as a media geek will be different. But no one else is really going to agree with my esoteric specific films.

IMDB does have some films that stick out in the top of their list though. Star Wars being so high, LOTR being so high, Inception, Seven, Green Mile, Gladiator.

No matter though you’re right that consensus is hard to get. And most of the films that I listed as out of place are part of fanboy beloved franchises or headed by fanboy beloved directors.
It happened for few sites - mostly smaller American news sites, and strangely enough - cooking sites.

Yeah, FighterZ is just incredible!

The Cyber Connect 2-developed games, mostly in the Naruto universe, have been making great progress along those lines for years. But DB FighterZ takes the cake.

One thing that's "special" about Capcom's recent SF games is that I find the art style unique!

FighterZ is an absolutely incredible technical artistic achievement, probably moreso than SF IV/V. I would call FighterZ the more impressive achievement.

On the other hand, FighterZ replicates an existing look, whereas SF IV/V veers into some new territory IMO so I give it credit there.
This is very nice, especially since I use Firefox as my second password manager (I enabled "save passwords" because it's so handy). All it needs is better management and the ability to store more data in the DB, and I'm sold! OATH would be nice too.

That defines good journalism.

Bald claims with insufficient evidence would be bad journalism.
> Germany on the other side does not like "being controlled" and has some attraction to Russia.

Being German myself, I don't think it has so much to do with being controlled or not, but the difference between several powers having some degree of influence vs. one having it all. Russia and the USA are certainly two very big players in world politics, and Germany already seems to have plenty of co-dependence with the United States.

I don't mean to say Nord Stream 2 is necessarily a good thing, but I do believe that some of the powers involved don't seek this balance as much as just to isolate Russia.

Thank you. For too long have these large advertising companies been allowed to disregard copyrights. Google and Facebook will have to pay for using others’ content.

I would have liked to see a higher threshold so that small and medium sized companies weren’t affected. But it’s refreshing that we finally put an end to the blatant abuse by the ad industry.
Realistically:

1. Establishing and consolidating a strong lobbying organisation. There are some NGOs and other interested parties (e.g. companies like Google or supporting organisations like Wikipedia), but they are not united. A united body brings coordination and single, quite more substantial, budget. Then you can efficiently deploy: 1) lawyers 2) accredited lobbyists in the corridors of Brussels 3) public relations professionals running far reaching campaigns.

2. Voting in the EU elections. There are various parties which are consistent in their opposition to such laws (e.g. "Pirate" parties, some Greens and Liberals). It might be a difficult choice, as there may be other positions of such parties you disagree with, depending on your political views. However, such voting could be considered as "tactical" i.e. with a goal to increase their presence or force coalitions, rather than driven by the desire to see them fully in power. It is a question of your priorities.
Excepting academic environments or IP issues, what you call "plagiarism" I would call code sharing, and see nothing wrong with it.
