Do you not intuitively see the problem with your argument?

"You claiming women should be treated equally to men hurts me, you should stop."

Do you care or respect this view? What if you consider the fact that there are hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people that would completely genuinely state and agree with the above? Does that somehow make it a more legitimate claim? Obviously not. This is precisely why logic is what matters. Appeals to emotion can be used to argue for great or awful things using the exact same language which ultimately makes the entire notion completely pointless. This is likely the reason the word pathetic has the etymology that it does. At the point one is appealing to emotion, they've long since lost the thread.

I'd also add here that behind nearly all great travesties in history there was some charismatic leader who likely thought he was in the right, swaying people largely through appeals to emotion to his cause. And this is because emotion sidesteps the necessity of actually having to show that e.g. the people you are demonizing are actually bad.

With 5G it will be faster and cheaper for IoT companies to unobtrusively collect surveillance data about you, they'll be giving them away.
Thanks for the tip, will consider it next time. I guess I was non-mainstream enough to look into breaking DRM, but not non-mainstream enough to consider less popular sources.
His was to me the most beautiful English prose of the last four centuries, by a generous margin. There was never any trace of foreignness in it. I literally cannot imagine learning another language that fully.

Thanks for your answer, I would really like to hear your considerations as to why it shouldn't be done.
The tech industry brought this on themselves. They acted like the Wild West, and now the pendulum swings the other way. Because the legislators are uneducated about technology and only read bad things in the press.

Software engineers are professionals and they should have ethics exams, a board, and licenses like other professions. Since companies don’t have any incentive to do it by themselves, a board for software engineers will help. The board will be able to represent all software engineers at the legislature level and not act as lobbyist for one particular company.

But for now, we reap what we sow.

I don't think this article does quite enough to address all the concerns but it is pretty deeply researched and outlines a path to 100% renewables by 2050. It's also from 2015 and LiIon battery costs have fallen by 50% since this article was published.

Inconvenience?

It's really not that complicated. You download them from a web interface and you drag and drop them into Calibre (with a de-DRM plugin installed). Done, they're now available together with all the ebooks that you got from other sources.

Having all the purchased ebooks in one place is more convenient for me, not less. The alternative isn't a different book store, it's pirating. While I do have an appreciation for all the books I got from DRM-free places, I don't pick what I'm going to read next based on where it's available. The majority of the books I want to read are available on Amazon, and breaking their DRM is very easy. They wouldn't get my money if any of those two were untrue. I'd probably revert back to pirating.
Yeah, I bought a few LIT format eBooks off of Amazon back in the day (predating Kindle, I believe). I think I might still have them somewhere with the DRM broken, but obviously, newer formats are nicer.

impressive.
Hypothetical? Every major ebook platform offers annotations (and I just checked — this platform did too). MS apparently recognizes the additional inconvenience to people who have annotated, as they are offering an extra $25 to anyone who has made annotations. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4497396

I agree that this closure is not world-ending, and I think the point of the article is that if MS can do this to your ebooks, then other big tech companies could do it to your other content too.
Microsoft's eBooks are EPUB-based. (The current version of Edge works as both an EPUB and PDF reader natively.) If you dig into Edge's data cache, you discover the books are stored in an "MSEPUB" format, and there's another file that contains the license for it.

I imagine it is unlikely to be significantly harder DRM to strip than for other DRM'd EPUBs, but I'm not sure if anyone's bothered to dig in and see if Microsoft changed the file extension because they added some special sauce.
There are subtleties here. I don't know how intentional it was, but naasking didn't say that the viewpoints were equally valid. What was said was "people whose opinions are diametrically opposed".

An ethics board isn't a technical committee working to patch AI when they become unethical. They are a mechanism to flag ethical concerns _before_ there is concrete evidence of a problem. That means they will have to function more like a debating panel for management and interested observers than a technocratic mechanism.

1) A part of what is being done when discussing ethics is modeling what the arguments are to deal with bad positions. That is much easier to do if someone on the panel takes up a bad position. Watching a bad argument get dismantled is more useful then hearing 3 respectable people agree on an obvious point.

2) Even if an idea is wrong, being radically different is often enough to trigger some exploration of very different perspectives on a problem, some of which will be valid. People aren't usually wrong because they are wrong about everything they've ever thought or done ever. People are usually wrong because they've got a few key parts of a larger picture wrong, but many other details are still correct.

3) There is always a risk that, no matter how obvious the situation is, a group has been contaminated by groupthink. As I like to say, intelligence is no defense against groupthink; it just means that the individuals involved are better at rationalising it.
Are you talking based only on what is launched right now? Because most of the Leo satellite companies are working on point to point laser backbones which is definitely capable of 10gbps right now. And I don't know of any limitations of open space vs glass that would keep them from improving that to at least as much as we are currently able to get with glass.

It seems that most of the limitations of point to point laser right now are due to atmospheric conditions which is not a problem in leo.
This is the one guide that finally managed to get everything working for me, and I occasionally use it as a reference still. Highly recommended!
If this is true, someone here will hopefully make an inward-facing firewall for home networks.
I've heard of these evidence requests as being a form of intellectual denial of service attack in public debates
This makes the LEO networks sound more like the HFT microwave networks that are expensive and optimized for latency not throughput.
What’s wrong with Apple’s own Magic Keyboard?
>(as happened with music, thankfully)

The main reason it didn't happen with (sold) music was that audio cds were already unencumbered. So it made even less sense than usual to tack on additional DRM. And finally, the most popular form of consuming music now is streaming, which does have DRM generally.
Honestly, I don't understand the implications this has on their investing activities or the mechanism of this structure. I also don't fully understand the regulations around VC Funds and RIA's in USA (I'm from India).

From what I understand though, a16z is trying to breakaway from investing in the limited scope of securities (e.g. equities) of private companies. They want to offer a suite of wealth management services to their Investors in addition to VC investing.

But then, will the Investors pool capital in the Fund and the Fund be advised by the RIA? Or will the RIA directly advise the Investors? The structure isn't too clear to me. Apologies for the ignorance.

I don't think this is a cartel. Big users of data decided "we don't want to pay the price that the owner of the cable is offering, so we'll just build our own." Then they built their own.
To be fair, there is slightly more than that. There will be a series of displays that have information about the Manhattan Project. Normally, there's also some displays with a small amount of trinitite. That said, yes, there's not much there, which was partly why it was a good spot for the test. The Nuclear Museum on Eubank in Albuquerque has far more information about the project in case anyone is interested.

By the way, if you head east on 380 through the Valley of Fires, there was a soda fountain in Carrizozo where the proprietor was a little boy when the test went off. He remembers the blast, which could be heard from the city. I just did a quick check and it may be closed now. He was getting up in age and it'd be sad if he passed.
Honestly, Microsoft's shitbird security track record for the past umpteen years is such a clusterfuck that it's impossible to consider them as doing anything other than deliberately shipping the leakiest possible operating system to as many Americans as possible, with express intent to open a general surveillance portal exposing every user to analytical scrutiny for decades on end.

And with that, also a shrug, because yoooooooouuuuu asked for it!

From 95 to 98 to NT to 2000 to XP to Vista, and on and on, and it only gets worse.

But hey, woah! Now someone else is sticking their nose in front of America's magic mirror??? My goodness! Heavans to Betsy!

If Microsoft hadn't been such utter garbage since nineteen ninety fucking five, interrupting my fucking life with unstoppable automatic updates "for security patches" every other week... patches that forbade me from unplugging a machine in my own home, lest summarily it brick itself, I might be inclined to raise an eyebrow at yet another vulnerability, but alas... That's not the years of Microsoft history I remember.
I don't know where the line goes between DOS and DDOS, but in my youth I had a virtual server attacked by an acquaintance for a few days. They still won't admit to doing it, but all available evidence at the time pointed to them.

It started as a TCP SYN flood, which I had never seen before -- but since it originated from only two addresses, I could block them. Once I did, more addresses joined in on the attack. I figured out what was happening and how to prevent the connection table from filling up completely under the SYN flood, and then the attack changed shape into a UDP flood, from yet more addresses.

(Many of the addresses corresponded to free shell hosts and managed webhosts with easily exploitable PHP scripts. I tried to inform the people running those hosts that they were being used for an attack, but the vast majority of them seemed to ignore that. A couple of people responded and we could figure out kinda what had happened and what scripts were involved. Remember, kids, that connecting a machine to the internet is a great responsibility.)

I was surprised to not see that in the things I will do / fix list. Caching those JSON API endpoints would have dramatically changed the ability to absorb that DDoS. If merely adding pagination brought it back to functioning (from 100% CPU to ~60%), it wasn't a very large attack and caching would have trivially handled it. Either way, even with Cloudflare and pagination, they should prioritize adding caching on the API at some point in the near-term. The relief on the database will be considerable and it'll buy a lot of API usage growth runway at almost no cost.

Since they're already using Nginx, if they don't want to bother with learning anything else, it's a couple of hours of research to learn how to set up rock solid basic caching using Nginx. It'll quickly get you 85% of the way on caching, until you need something better. Set Nginx loose to do one of the things it's very good at.

No, you're just thinking aloud (and you earned some downvotes!) A word of advice: don't even respond to someone claiming a black woman is racist/"transphobe" just because she has conservative beliefs. There's no coming back for this person or anyone who thinks that is a sane comment.
The only path this leads is tech company's will be controlled and forced to become more than they already now virtual "depuities" for the state to enforce censorship and content controls. This is not the right direction. It will require even greater instruments of surveillance and reduction is privacy as systems need be built to study each user and all content they post. Freedom on the internet needs to be defended at all costs. These politicians exacerbate divisions between classes, religions, political idealogies and ethnicities for political purpose and when things inevitably go wrong and someone walks into a church with an AR and starts killing people the solution they propose is more control of speech, increased natsec laws etc etc?? Really?? Dark DARK days are ahead if people do not wake the f*#$ up!

...so? New things are being created. You enjoy(ed) C&H, now future generations might enjoy new things. It's just a fact of growing older and having cultural changes.

Also a counterpoint: I (22) know people my age or younger who enjoy C&H. Things are absolutely more accessible now, full stop. Being accessible does not mean one is forced to choose that particular thing! Please let people enjoy what they enjoy. Just because I like tom and jerry cartoons and think they're a classic doesn't mean I gripe about newer generations who have different cartoons/etc that they like.

There's actually quite a few eBook stores out there with DRM-free options, you just have to know where to look, and they're usually publisher-specific.

Humble Bundle does a weekly Book Bundle. Wiley, O'Reilly, No Starch, and several other publishers all regularly participate with tech books, geek books, comic books, and manga.

No Starch itself deserves a separate mention just because they're awesome. On their own site, if you buy the print book, the eBook comes free, a nice courtesy you won't pick up buying on Amazon. And of course, all of their stuff is DRM-free.

Informit, which is Pearson's programming and IT book site, sells watermarked, but otherwise DRM-free content (if you really care, watermark stripping likely isn't that hard, but as long as they're not trying to tamper with my ability to open the file where I want to, I don't mind watermarks, I ain't a pirate). Informit includes Adobe Press, Cisco Press, Microsoft Press, VMware Press, Sams, etc. I've gotten a lot of textbooks from here.

Manning Publications sells DRM-free too.

If you're a Trekkie, Simon & Schuster sells Star Trek novels DRM-free on their site as well. They have monthly sales that bring a set of them down to 99 cents a piece, which is good, since their standard prices are obscene.

Even Comixology (from Amazon, of course), has joined the DRM-free game, though only for specific publishers. Neither Marvel nor DC participate, mind you, but many of the smaller publishers do.
Depending on the particular state in US, failing to pay employees on time has legal consequences. You may be able to use this to advantage.
You surely appreciate that I absolutely could formulate various toy experiments to prove this hypothesis. And I'd of course also concede that you could similarly form toy experiments to disprove it.

This is ultimately the problem with social science. You can prove, or disprove, whatever you want with anything short of non-toy experiments. But non-toy experiments tend to be either impossible or unethical to execute. And even if we set ethics aside, there are so many confounding variables that even these unethical experiments don't necessarily resolve the question. E.g. - would isolated individuals completely separated from humanity since birth behave differently in a favorable climate, unfavorable climate, in areas with rich natural resources, or with minimal resources, etc. And then you even get into genetic questions on top of it. Ultimately, you're not really going to be able to prove anything in these fields. Consider that > 60% of psychology studies in well regarded journals cannot be successfully replicated. And psychology is more of a 'personal' science. Introduce a social scale to these studies and it's all just a grand demonstration of pseudo-scientific bias confirmation.
To play devil’s advocate here: if social media companies were to desert a particular country, (unlikely as it is)...would it harm society in any significant way?

Facebook, in particular seems to be a cesspit...in fact I spoke to a colleague who is mentally fragile, and gets worked up by looking at extremist Facebook pages...

Add the other issues caused by social media, and it might be a blessing in disguise if they shut down.
Or you could just use standard fonts and save the bandwidth. sans-serif never hurt anybody.
> threat of massive penalties, when it comes to content that is obviously objectionable.

Totally agree. Hacker news should be punished for providing a platform for your obviously objectionable statements.
>>There is some justification for keeping the profit from getting extreme, to keep customers from being hit with abusive monopoly pricing.

Another option is for the state to directly fund open-source software in sectors prone to monopolization. Then there will be competition, and if the open source software wins out and becomes the market standard, no profit gouging.
SpaceX just fired up the engine on its test “Starship” – short hop flights soon
The government would not alter course one bit at that threat. Tech workers are not the sort of group the average person feels sympathy for. It would need to be something like Facebook or Apple literally not providing a service or selling iPhones in the country for a reasonable portion of people to start paying attention.
Now, now there is an idea!
This starts out well outlining the problem then ends abruptly with "use this magical third party service to make your problems disappear" with no insight into how it's solving the problem.

The issue with an over-build first approach to competition is visible with airlines. If you see that a particular handful of routes are highly priced, you can set up your own airline. But the incumbent can just drive you out of business with their other markets and bankrupt you.

Then nobody risks trying to take you on again.

It's nice that big users of data may be bigger than the telecoms, but when that isn't the case, the market fails when building your own links on a larger network of oligopolists.
Why would they care though? They barely make noticeable noise about major issues in major markets. This is a blip.
Another curious situation drm-demanding publishers have created for themselves is the lack of control and leverage against the stores. With the closed Kindle ecosystem in such a major position, Amazon (with its poor drm) has tremendous leverage over the publishers.

one could argue that you not paid for that kind of usage and basically pirating in the sense that you use it without permission. It has probably even been denied explicitly to you to break the DRM too. In some countries its even illegal by default to circumvent digital protection measurements.

Just saying, you probably could directly pirate the books too. Putting your money where your rights are respected and you are given the freedom to read your books on any device you want is probably a better idea. Even if it is just to make them grow more.
