There absolutely are PEDs that increase your maximum ability when it comes to endurance sports, like EPO. A reporter tried microdosing EPO (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-32983932) and experienced a 7% increase in maximum performance in 7 weeks.
there's only 8 million people in Sweden, most of whom live near Europe in the south and in Stockholm, so this is relatively small endeavour. Still good though!
>I think you underestimate how many people prefer to watch the latest episode as it airs.

I don't, but even without any DRM you still have the delay between the moment the ripper manages to get the file and the moment it's available for download. DRM doesn't really change anything here. It's not like for games where DRM can delay the release of cracked version by days or even sometimes weeks.

>Even if the DRM is already broken, you can't just ignore the initial time spent to break it.

For movies and TV shows I think I can. It's just so full of holes and broken implementations that it's usually trivial to crack. I have yet to see the release of a good quality movie or TV show because they couldn't crack the DRM.

>Let's say you stopped 100 random people on a busy street and asked them what a "public torrent tracker" is. How many do you think would know what that even means?

I honestly don't know, but I do know that streaming solutions and direct download websites are pretty mainstream in my experience. Megaupload was huge for instance.

But even if you're right and it's obscure, doesn't that make DRM even more pointless? If people don't pirate because they don't know how why would they start ripping Netflix streams? Technically speaking it's even more involved.
Notification – c9.io to shutdown on December 31, 2019
Email sent to customers:

Dear c9.io user,

On July 14, 2016, we shared the news of Cloud9’s acquisition by Amazon Web Services. Since then, we launched AWS Cloud9 at re:Invent 2017. AWS Cloud9 combines c9.io’s most popular features with new capabilities enabled by AWS. As we focus more of our efforts on AWS Cloud9, we plan to discontinue the ability to create new or to use existing workspaces on c9.io on June 30, 2019 and to discontinue all access on December 31, 2019. We would love it if you would join us on AWS Cloud9.

We've built migration tooling to enable you to download all your data and to make transitioning your Cloud9 environments to AWS Cloud9 easy. Read the docs to get started.

AWS Cloud9 is free tier eligible when using an Amazon EC2 instance for an AWS Cloud9 development environment. You can also connect your AWS Cloud9 development environment to an existing Linux server (for example, an on-premises server) for no additional charge. For more information, see our AWS Cloud9 Pricing page.

Please note, any accounts not migrated by December 31, 2019 will be deleted and your data will be unrecoverable. If you have a subscription, we will issue a refund for at least the unused amount upon deactivation of your c9.io account or the termination of c9.io.

We've enjoyed having you as a Cloud9 customer and appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us. We hope you'll join us at AWS Cloud9 by following the migration checklist to migrate your c9.io environments to AWS Cloud9. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
The Cloud9 Team
Too bad I can't read WSJ, so I can't verify what they're saying. However, I haven't had much luck finding overnight trains here. It used to be that many existed and were popular, but they started disappearing and now few routes still have overnight options.
An EME implementation is not complete without a decryption module. And getting one is the problem here.
I don't want to risk $500k on this. Would rather go back and invest it in my home country. It's also a scam and I don't want to get my GC this way.
I see freeCodeCamp, it's currently #1 for me, while 996.ICU is #2.

I was disappointed when I checked if it was possible to do Paris-Warsaw by night train. I imagined entering the train at 5pm, eating something, watching a movie and waking up in Paris in the morning.

It sounded much better to me than spending an actual day commuting to/from far away airports and waiting in queues.

Unfortunately such train does not exist, but neither does the platform that would allow searching and booking such trips across Europe.
And cite, right?
Definitely. Making the marketing of pharmaceuticals directly to consumers illegal would go a long way, as well as stronger oversight and governance by regulatory bodies.
My mistake, the repo linked apparently doesn't contain the source, it's closed. But apparently not because the current solution requires it, but because the repo contains older versions which contained proprietary code or data. The latter should be rather easy to fix.
Book sounds interesting. Democratization of programming knowledge can only benefit us in the long run
I asked in the recent thread how Meituan could possibly be affording to subsidize restaurant meals to be significantly below cost at restaurant as that didn’t make any sense. Turns out according to this article that it’s simply that. It doesn’t make sense. They lost $17 Billion in 2018 for a shallow moat around an ugly castle.

The next recession is going to hit hard, and I’m guessing a lot of the gig economy jobs will get a lot worse if not disappear.
Opposition to compulsory vaccination is just one manifestation of mistrusting the US government. Some say that the Soviets/Russians have engaged in propaganda and social engineering. There's some evidence for that, but it's hard to say how much it contributed.

But there's also the record of government deception. Lying about the health impacts of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. And the nuclear power industry. The suspicious death of Karen Silkwood. Colluding with industry to cover up health impacts of air and groundwater pollution. Suppression of the EPA dioxin report during the Reagan era. Lying about health effects of Agent Orange on US troops and innocent Vietnamese civilians. And so on.

So is it really surprising that many people don't trust the government?

Edit: It's unlikely that thiomersal (organic mercury compound) caused autism. And it's worth noting that thiomersal levels in vaccines have generally been reduced in the last decade or two.
I am aware, that's why I wrote "some implementation of", which needs to be checked. I am skeptical about the blanket statement made, it's usually more nuanced.
Excited about this idea. I wanted to do an overnight train in a Europe trip I did last year, but the timing and quality never quite worked out. A lot of the time, trains between cities in western Europe are annoyingly long for a day trip, but slightly _too short_ for overnight trips - almost like an NYC->London red-eye, where you arrive just after you fall asleep. The couple of overnight trains I saw that seemed like they'd work out timing-wise, like Paris to Venice, had really poor reviews, but I assume that's down to the various companies running these services, who probably haven't invested much in them lately as budget airlines continue to compete so heavily.

Sweden seems perfectly set up to invest in overnighters, though, as the article notes some theoretical routes. Norway and Denmark would benefit too, I think; at one point I was investigating doing a trip that would involve going from Oslo to Copenhagen, and the only reasonable non-flight options were an overnight _ferry_ (which, all things considered, was surprisingly cheap, though I'm sure they gouge you on food and the on-ship shopping mall), or a 7 and a half hour train trip that'd take all day. If Sweden were running overnight service along that route through Gothenburg, connecting those countries, it'd be a pretty awesome way to get between places.
What I see is going on is a billion people getting value out of products that a small minority of people aren't happy with yet propose no alternative to.

It's easy to forget the level of mouth-foaming fear the media ginned up in response to 'H1N1'. And in subsequent years, they kept pushing the 'HxNx' fear based propaganda.

There are real risks associated with vaccines. The US federal government has displayed a pattern of lies and corruption. Why would the medical portion of said government be immune to that corruption? It's not.

Mass migration is another factor possibly contributing to increasing cases of communicable diseases.
I also map caps lock to control OS-wide on both macOS (Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys) and on Linux (using gnome-tweak-tool).

Instead of using jj or escape in Vim/Spacemacs, I just use control+[.

With caps lock mapped as control, it's a single fast motion--left pinky to caps lock, and right pinky to [. I've been using this setup for years. It's one of the first things I setup on a new computer/OS.

Mapping caps lock to control also has other benefits. You can quickly zip around the terminal using control+a/e/k/y/d/r etc. As an added bonus, the same keyboard shortcuts work equally well on both macOS and Linux [1].

When I visited Europe many years a go I often took overnight trains with the intent of maximizing time to do things other than travel.

It was a great experience, maybe not the most comfortable, but I thought it was worth it.

I hope this ends up in Matt Levine’s Money Stuff segment as part of his Unicorn Enchanted Forest series.

Perhaps the CompuServe PII wasn't covered by modern 'privacy' policies that have users 'consent' to the company doing whatever it wants.

A big company might be vulnerable to class action from a bunch of people who are tech-savvy and affluent enough to have been using Compu$erve.
It's a dangerous precedent. Think about adblock. You're just choosing to render the data websites give to you differently.

What if you design a web browser that just ignores most blobs of CSS/Javascript and renders content in a very different way. Are you now breaking copyright? Because you're rendering the data differently than the W3C standard or blocking certain elements?

I realize this is specifically about DRM content, but I feel like it won't be a stretch to try to apply these laws to common content.

Lets all start running Gopher servers again... Fuck the modern web.
I canceled Prime when my renewal came up this year. Never looked back.
They spend it on artificially low prices, often charging the riders even less than they pay the drivers in markets where they are new and growing. The idea is that they will get a sticky network of riders and drivers and then raise prices later. It certainly worked on me.

> I've yet to actually meet someone who is against vaccines.

I have. They also believe in all sorts of other weird things. But you don’t have to go very far to see similar things: Homeopathy for example. What’s called “Traditional Chinese Medicine” in germany (it’s nothing like that). There’s a lot of people that are well educated and should know better, but I’ve even been recommended homeopathic treatments by the nurse that gave the prep courses when my wife was pregnant.
The content IA are archiving was public and publicly accessible.
It seems to be a core reluctance to address the mathematical aspects of reality. Sex differences are not binary, like different OO classes in a programming environment, but there are noticeable statistical poles, like correlating sex and height.

The problem it seems is that they can't understand that, yes, saying females are shorter than males is a valid heuristic, but it is not an absolute relation and should be integrated with actual observations and individual differences.
I agree -- we are doomed. I have no cause. I stopped believing in democracy a long time ago. I have zero interest in helping others to understand my perspective, best we can hope for is to slow down the tech parasites from harvesting their digital souls.
The people who are rude won't care.
If it's software you can submit to The Journal of Open Source Software https://joss.theoj.org which will cost you as much as making a pull request as far as I know :-)
The article hints at it.

“all these companies are deliberately spending profligately now to build their brands and win over dense populations of customers, so that in the future they can be more efficiently served. This is the exact playbook that once worked for Amazon.com”

I can’t count how many free Uber/Grubhub promo codes I’ve seen. How much they subsidize their orders, etc.
There are still occasionally passport checks at EU borders.
In my limited experience trains are both ridiculously expensive and impossible to find in Europe.

Let’s say I want to travel from Stockholm to Hamburg. It will cost an arm and a leg. And it will require a ridiculous amount of layovers (5 IIRC, with bus travel between some trains) if you can a website to actually plan such a route properly.

It gets even more ridiculous the farther you travel.
Great effort, thanks!

Pro-Plague is strong in Germany, too. We’ve seen measles outbreaks in Berlin in the last few years. Vaccinations are free here. So that can’t be the reason.
Thanks for what must have been a ridiculous amount of effort! It is already good enough that we re-enabled edit mode on Android.
I second the recommendation of Bahn.de. For like two decades now it has provided a way to search train schedules across Europe when the national rail companies didn’t bother to provide their own accessible interface.

Wow, i just finally got the point of the links. I actually read a few of them and tried to understand what the cohesive philosophical message was.
I did exactly what you describe, about ~12 years ago, traveling Paris --> Florence, and Florence --> Amsterdam. We took a day train back to Paris from Amsterdam.
Jessa Jones (The tech featured) is well known in the iPhone repair business. She has been banned from the Apple forums countless times for suggesting people have their apple devices repaired outside of the AASP eco-system over the years. People will post "can I fix X?" or "is there any way to do a data recovery from Y?" and while others (including Apple) she will say their is no hope she will say "Maybe, depends on what is fried" (On an iPhone the data on the NAND is encrypted with a key held in the secure enclave which is stored within the SoC, so on a heavily damaged board and its just a data recovery and not a fix then the CPU and NAND often get swapped out onto a donor iPhone's PCB).

The counter augment to her getting banned from the forums is "Its apples forum, they can allow or disallow what ever they want on there".

Anytime a article is posted about how something can be repaired outside the manufactures eco-system it could be considered as an AD as they will talk to people who are doing this on a regular basis.

Same could be argued about people hacking their John Deere tractors to remove the "authorized repair" lockouts, then articles about that pop-up it could be argued the article is an AD for what ever 3rd party they talk to who is providing the "hack".

EDIT: Granted this article (I saw the vid a ~couple of days~ 17ish hours ago when it first came out though Louis Rossmann.) does paint Jessa in a very good light.
The drivers are overpaid for the price Uber charges. That’s not to say they shouldn’t be paid more as human beings, but they currently pay unsustainably high wages to drivers in many areas that will need to be fixed with higher prices to compensate whenever Uber feels they are safe from competition (likely never).
OneNote can do hierarchy just fine. It's partly why I use the thing instead of Evernote: The OneNote hierarchy is in folders, not tags:

https://i.imgur.com/X0qbxg3.png

OneNote's Android app is still a bit iffy of an experience for surfacing notes and reading content (the scrolling can be a bit jittery sideways, and there's no separate edit/read modes), something where Evernote's steady scrolling has it beat. ON Android is amazing for capture, though, but I don't imagine Evernote falling behind much on that count.
Uh, no? Stockholm to Copenhagen on the X2000 then an overnight train to Hamburg. Not the cheapest, but it’s totally feasible.
No one should have to travel in fear
and what i see is a billion serf's getting exploited by a small minority of tech feudal lords. There is no alternative, except opting out of the game entirely. That is the point I wish to make here. There is no making a safe social media. Facebook is irredeemable. Social media is destructive to society by design.
It would be great to see more night trains but having taken several before, I've never really been able to fall asleep. I would love to see technical improvements to reduce rumbling and promote sleep.
Do you remember in "The Dark Knight", how the Joker just happens to run into Batman on a building overlooking a river, while two boats just happen to be escaping calamity. One boat happens to have prisoners, the other boat happens to have regular people. Both are wired with explosives, and each boat has the other's detonator.

That moment really broke the movie for me. The Joker is effectively in charge of the butterfly effect. He flaps his wings, and gets what he wants in a "deus ex machina" style way. The odds of timing that so perfectly are astronomical.

You're telling me that a foreign adversary happened to pull this off? "Russia" is becoming a catch all bogey man for everything that we don't understand. There are far simpler answers to how this started to spread.
Not to mention each solution has other benefits. Expanding swampland is a carbon sink and helps absorb storms & floodwaters. DAC is a carbon sink and paves the way to ultrapure synthetic designer fuel. Wind & solar save emissions, and improve air quality near human habitation. On and on. As far as I see it, they are all virtuous technologies, and their relationship with carbon is just one more reason.
I'll believe it when I see it. Sleeper trains have been on the out for a while now, because they're much cheaper and often much more convenient than high speed rail. Don't want cheap and good to compete with overpriced and profitable, do we now?
Employees get their wages. They must be paid the market rate no matter if the business is profitable or not. If they aren't paid that, they leave. The business can't force employees to stay and work for less, even if the business is losing money. If the business had to share profit, then it would only be fair that it gets to share losses, forcing employees to stay and work like slaves... but we don't find that to be acceptable.

Profit is the dream that drives entrepreneurs to take crazy risks to start businesses. Without that, they would not try, and jobs would not get created.

There is some justification for keeping the profit from getting extreme, to keep customers from being hit with abusive monopoly pricing. The least harmful way to do this is by enforcing the existence of competition, breaking up any business that gains excessive market share. One could draw the line at 15% for example, splitting any business with a greater market share. Another possibility is to persuade businesses to split themselves, perhaps via taxes based on market share. A danger is that innovation slows due to businesses avoiding hitting the market share limit.

That's what I did when I went around northern Europe.
Took the Stockholm to Malmo, and then switch to Copenhagen.
Unfortunately, I don't think there was sleeper cars.

That train departed late evening, got us there in the daytime. I figured if I'm paying to sleep, I might as well be moving. I only wish that there was bunks on that train.
Also unfortunately in between Copenhagen and Malmö, although a European ID card is fine as well.

With the migration crisis, spot checks have been introduced at a few select crossings, but that still leaves plenty of possible train routes within Schengen where the authorities are not concerned about checking for migrants.
With the addition of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel potentially coming in 2028, it would be much more attractive for people in all the Nordic countries to take an overnight train into central Europe and vice versa. It looks like construction will begin this fall in Denmark.

I read during earlier attempts to pass the Copyright directive that it is not implementable in Poland because it would be unconstitutional. I understood that was why Poland was voting against it, but that was in the summer, and I’m not sure if the version that passed is different.
thats the thing: a NOTES service is useless. EN is not just a notes service. In fact thats probably its least useful feature. EN is a knowledge database. Its a place to stick stuff you might want to use later. As I've said before, its too bad that no one that works at EN understands this.
If we start seeing actually large outbreaks (much bigger than just breaking through the very low numbers we've grown accustomed to in recent years) I think we would suddenly find everyone on board with vaccinations. Being anti-vax is a luxury position that wouldn't last in a time of need.
So the point is that if you take stuff out of context, Google search won't be able to properly understand the nonexistent context?
