Is it not possible to create the other "fundamental" components using combinations of other components? I know with logic gates one might think of AND/OR/NOT as fundamental but yet one can make anything out of NANDs or NORs, so they could be considered fundamental instead. It's a thing in mathematics as well that you can often define essentially the same system using different sets of prepositions.

I saw a comment later on in here that explained that memristors, resistors, capacitors, and inductors round out all four combinations of relating charge or the derivative of charge over time with flux or the derivative of flux over time.
Also don't base it on a fixed number as a minimum. It has to automatically track inflation.

Conway or the rnc had zero impact on people's perception of trump.

We’re talking about data collection and usage, not possibilities in the universe.
In traditional torrents, the files are concatenated and only then divided into chunks. So if I take a existing torrent and add a single 16-byte file to the beginning, there is a good chance it will have no common hashes between new and old one.

Update: There is apparently "bittorrent V2" protocol [1][2], which allows file sharing. It is still not implemented in major clients, like libtorrent[3]

That's true. However, we also don't collect history for the fun of it.

Over the course of the last 20 years, we've seen that once a data collection and digital surveillance framework is put in place, the surveillance tends to expand.

Slippery slope arguments, sans good reasoning, tend to be fallacies. However, don't fall into the trap of thinking that an argument backed by historical record is a slippery slope just because it's predicting an outcome. We might call that the "history is all slippery slopes" fallacy. Stating "this has happened before multiple times before, and each time has lead to x" is a very different argument to stating "this has happened, so the logical extrapolation is x".

This is a defeatist attitude, not to mention a bit incoherent. One moment we're meant to despise them because they can't independently invent or manufacture anything.

Vim is with respect, just an editor.

Emacs is often confused as being an editor, but it's not.

It certainly houses a few different editors, including Vim (as people will often point out eVil is Vim inside Emacs)

Emacs is basically a text centric computing platform, built with a flavor of Lisp.

At this point there's several thousand apps / packages.

It used to be a joke that Emacs is an Operating System that lacks a decent text editor. These days it has several.

The joke now should be that it lacks a decent logo and marketing department.

Or perhaps the joke should be that Vim users are terrified they're missing out on something they don't get so they use snark as a defense mechanism.
Oh, I noticed.
Not realizing that many things actually ARE a slippery slope is what has gotten the world into a lot of messes. Nearly every legitimate privacy concern that we have today started out with a legitimate and we'll meaning purpose.

Our entire legal system is predicated on common law precedent. So it is very valid in many cases to argue that allowing something good now, might set us up for something very bad later.

If you put it on IPFS, it's not "your data" any longer. If that doesn't work for you, then don't use IFPS.

Cosleeping solves both problems. A sober adult will not roll over onto the baby and a mother can sleep through even feeds. Around month three of our first child my wife commented that it was amazing our daughter was sleeping through the night without feeding. But she’s just fuss a little and my wife would roll over and feed her on demand without waking up. It was so easy for both of us.

However:

If it's a planet 6 times more massive than Earth, it's a gaseous planet, and nothing like Earth:

So don't expect that humans will ever land on that, even if they reach it once (for it rotating around the nearest star).

Apparently "super-sized versions of our own habitable, rocky world" can be just slightly bigger than Earth.

Yes, it's a minimum. Like with minimum wage, the exact number could be different (or raised over time) and many people could negotiate something higher. But even if too low, it would establish that noncompete agreements aren't free.

A better way to do that would be to add some trivial access protection (like a password they didn't accidentially publish). No matter how weak, any attempt to circumvent it would violate anti-hacking laws in most jurisdictions.

> "No haha sorry you released as MIT at some point so it's now free forever mate"

For you existing code that's exactly how it works. Otherwise the concept of licensing something becomes close to meaningless. Imagine Google releases Kubernetes as open source, you build your business on it, and suddenly Google turns around and says "just kidding, everyone who wants to use Kubernetes after next monday has to pay us absurd licensing fees". Using anything open source would be an insane risk if that was possible.

Instead what people usually do is to say "everything I do from now on is closed source. You can maintain a fork of the old version, but good luck keeping up with my version". Or alternatively "everything I do from now on is under [GPL/AGPL/similar restrictive license], if you want to use it beyond that contact me for a more permissive license deal". You can give people more permissions on things you own, or attach fewer permission to new things than you did in the past, but you can't take permissions you already gave away.
In my opinion, there is no comparison in productivity. Emacs and Vim both beat IntelliJ and VS Code hands down. Anytime you have to reach for the mouse for something you’re wasting time.

Uh, it's even simpler. China is now the only place that a variety of things get manufactured (injection molded plastic in bulk only happens in China, for a significant example.

China sales is just an extra consideration.

Not the right way to think about it; the connection latency is irrelevant. What is relevant is that you need to play audio in sync with the video, and that audio is coming to you approximately simultaneously with the video it's meant to be synced with.

Sure. But how do your regulations solve that? Presumably businesses would still be free to not mention the pay requirement in the contract. And even though they'd be obligated to actually pay if it came down to it, many people wouldn't be aware of that — bringing us back to square one.

You could require them to mention it, but that's just a more complicated version of banning it outright.
I really like Emacs, but its chording gives me RSI pain. I wish I could have stuck with it though. That’s great that you could.
I'm not sure the logic gate metaphor works here, because the domain is so different, the questions relate to the charge-voltage relationship and its first and second derivatives.

Maybe a different metaphor would be better: a bank statement involves stored money (like a capacitor), and a profit/loss sheet involves effects of money moving over time (like a resistor), and you can see how they're related through integration/differentiation, but they're fundamental because you can't create a bank account by nailing a bunch of P&Ls together.

Ok, so maybe that's not a great metaphor either? ;)

The paper does discuss equivalence categories (along the lines of nth derivatives of charge and voltage) so it's probably best to refer directly to that!

Pretty sure that totalization covers this
1) You'd need 100k+ visitors to make any money off Google (1+ thousand a month).

2) Just having visitors is not enough, they have to be "niche" to an ad category and ideally looking for something to buy (not just information). The only thing that pays out is high-quality PPC traffiic or even better lead-gen for high-value products (health, debt, education, etc) with conversion-based pricing.

3) Google ads on content sites with CPM (impressions) pays pennies out.

4) Targeted blogspam sounds like it involves lots of humans beyond just mechanical turk, with some text parsing and rewriting which is a big overhead

5) This is basically the business model of Buzzfeed and other cancerous sites plus countless "niche" sites you've never heard of with high quality domains + foreign content mills + partner networks+cross domain advertising systems to convert in bulk.

If you want my personal opinion there's almost no low hanging fruit left in the content + high volume + conversion game unless you get lucky with a few niches (but the advertisers find those niches for you).

There are communities like http://www.leadscon.com and similar who do this stuff. It's really unstable business with constantly changing market + technology trends, unless you have a unique product and are developing marketing channels. Otherwise you're constantly fishing for got lead buyers and new traffic sources. Which is a constant grind and probably not a great business to get into, unless you have the heart for that stuff - then you could easily become middle class off of it. At least temporarily.

Suggestion: You use "set -e". The problem with this is that it's silent about which line the script died at, so if your script doesn't print a lot, you may have to do detective work. This is an automatic way of giving you a bit of a hint:

$ cat meh.bash
#!/bin/bash
set -e
die() {
echo "Failed at line $1: $2"
}
trap 'die $LINENO "$BASH_COMMAND"' ERR

Do you consider that a bad thing?
I suspect the amount is a mix of things:

* Investment in IP that then gets stolen.
* Loss of potential earnings as American companies are locked out of Chinese markets
* Loss of actual earnings as American/global consumers switch to Chinese companies (eg huawei) that are accused of unfair business practices or receiving unfair government subsidies.

Some companies “don’t care” because they aren’t actually losing money, they’re just not making as much as they could be.

But other companies are ‘coerced’ into not caring because what happens if they complain? They lose Chinese government contracts. They effectively admit to shareholders that their IP has been stolen and lost. They waste time and resources fighting unwinnable legal battles against Chinese national champions (ie. the Chinese state).

I’ve met plenty of small/medium sized business owners who are so sickened by their experiences with China and the Chinese market that they’re happy to just ignore it all and save themselves the heartache.
You also can't change it, though, if someone gets a hold of it. Someone with a bit of your blood could impersonate you forever, and you wouldn't be able to stop them.

GPS-related telemetry, say in modern cars or smartphones, is akin to being followed. The latter isn't even anonymized, e.g. recently police identified suspects by issuing a warrant to Google for devices in the vicinity, or Tesla having all the car data in case of an accident. Web tracking such as analytics or canvas, things like "advertising tags" being assigned to your profile, is you being digitally followed across various sites you visit. "Usage-data" decided by developers, malicious or otherwise, may not be just usage data from the user's perspective.

You can hardly dismiss all telemetry concerns as invalid when "telemetry" is a catchall term for most any data collection. And the other side of it is the user and being in control of the software they run, which entails opt-in or at the minimum leaving the option to opt-out.
