The same is true for a document, someone could just download it and share it out somewhere else, but Google Docs does not work like this.

In fact, this UI is basically identical to the Drive UI, including separating the functionality of creating a public, shared link and sharing with a specific person. It's downright surprising that Google Photos acts in a different way than Drive here.

This looks like a bug. Is it documented anywhere?

He says the easy thing is to use the Google drive sharing model, which only works with other people that have Google based accounts that can be authenticated. The sharing model in Photos is meant to lower the barrier for sharing with people with non-Google accounts. It's also worth noting in the demo he showed, many of the recommended sharing links were sharing with a user account and not via link (which would be gated behind authentication still).

From the game's website:

As previously announced, local chat in all nullsec space is currently in delayed mode.

This means that it will behave as local chat in wormhole space, with pilots only appearing in the local population listing should they choose to post messages.

The duration of this blackout is undetermined, and we’ll be monitoring what effect this has on the cluster.
What does "2017" mean here? It's not the year of the article, it's from today.
For a stupid guy like me who needs the compiler, flutter is the most sane experience I have ever had in the UI ecosystem (except Qt and JavaFX). The view as code is really really better (for me).
None of that is relevant to software licensing, source code secrecy, and the entirely preventable risks they impose on users. Yes, it's possible that without Graham and the commendable efforts he is making to make the source understandable, it would be dauntingly difficult or impossible to understand well enough to make changes. But the users who would hypothetically be up a creek in that situation are even worse off now: they don't have the source code at all, and if they did, they'd be at legal risk if they tried to use it, due to the toxic and corrupt copyright system.

Basically from my point of view he's asking other people to put themselves at risk of having their creative work destroyed, in order to avoid risks to his ego.
Hi all.

Roo has added a couple of recent comments on our forum that I wanted to make sure were highlighted here as well:

> While it’s too late for most, I have gone back and updated our release notes to indicate that we removed this feature.

(from https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/comment/515669/...)

and

> The Pro Features purchase has been removed from sale, but all the features that would have been unlocked have been maintained. There is no longer anything to restore. The more I've been thinking about it, the more I am coming down on the side of restoring the single standalone vault capability for those that previously purchased the Pro Features (or the full price app when it was a paid download long ago).

(from https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/comment/515789/...)

We're definitely listening to all of the feedback folks have taken the time to share with us on this and are evaluating how we can best move forward.

Thank you for all the comments, both here and on our forum.

I would recommend storing your data using Tree Notation in a Tree Language. That way your data is as simple as possible. You could then compile it to whatever format is needed by your downstream tools. Here's a quick start:

Didn't many berries evolve so that animals would eat the berries and their seeds would end up in their feces? I'm not sure how to say that without it sounding like a cause and effect. Plants didn't _intend_ to evolve so that animals would eat the berries and carry their seeds away, it was more a symbiotic relationship.
The point of the video is that he is sharing with a user account and not via link, and that is not being gated behind authentication.

By "actually" are you again inferring the requirement for cross over between realities? If the simulated brain was experiencing something, then that "something" is an experience in the frame of the simulation. Or perhaps your argument is that, because WE dont identify the simulated brain as a person its experience is irrelevant?
I've experienced the same in all these old forts, palaces, mosques and temples in India. Somehow, they would remain cool even in India's brutal heat.

You typically have to know the venue (or journal) you want to publish at. Then make sure to check their websites (regularly) for CFPs (call for paper). Then you submit your paper by the given deadline following the given paper submission guidelines and wait until it is peer-reviewed. Then either it gets rejected or accepted (or some middle ground: asking for revisions).
Lovely. Thanks for posting this.
They should be available cheaper than if they weren’t subsidized, proportional to the degree of subsidy. Which is usually the point of subsidizing something’s production.

Semi-related: I had a very creepy bug come up recently. Amongst all the collages, animations and videos Assistant makes, this auto-generated video came up: https://streamable.com/bd2y1

There's no image/video source for this (accidentally syncing downloaded folders etc) that I could find and typically the jangley music the videos come with don't include any narration, so the source must be a video?

OK, if you go in the album options, the share option is labelled: "Anyone with the link can see these photos and the people who've been invited or joined".

This is very confusing to me, and I like to think I get authentication models. If having the link is the same as being a member, what's the point of being a member?
Which is chomp change for any major company.
An attempt at an honest answer:

In my case it's related to the continual drumbeat of news stories that seems to show them being transformed from bastions of free inquiry into centers of political indoctrination. It's been reinforced in the last couple of years by a friend who sent his sweet, friendly, apolitical hard working daughter to a liberal arts college, and she returned as a politicized tattooed pierced foul mouthed social warrior who despises her family and home community. While that anecdote has applied for generations it seems to have become more rule than exception. There are an increasing number of parents who feel that sending their kids to college amounts to parental malpractice.

This "chip" may sound like a form of bigotry in that it paints many remaining fine scholars with the same broad brush, but you can't enroll in just that part of a school.

While the STEM fields that most publish in Elsevier are less affected by this trend they seem to be moving in that direction. Simply researching human intelligence, sexual dimorphism, heritability or a constantly shifting range of other topics has become career threatening. The idea that merit should play a predominant role in hiring is becoming scarce in faculty hiring committees.

I'm a product of a university but looking back I see that my degree did little for me in terms of either increased human capital or of signalling, in that I learned to code outside of class and my degree is of ever less value in getting hired. If I could go back and whisper in my high school ears while I was applying to college I might say "skip it". And that's separate from the ideological angle.

Meanwhile it has become much more expensive in the era of federal financing. Both sides of the cost benefit ratio are moving in the wrong direction.

The net result is that I've come to discount the value of universities. If they were all closed tomorrow it would be both a great loss and gain, and I'm not sure which would dominate.

To stay current with television entertainment one would need to subscribe to at least Netflix, HBO, Amazon and, soon, Disney. If you live in the non-anglophone part of the planet you might want to add a few on-demand providers in your local language as well.

If each charge $20 / mon that's close to $2,000 / year just for content to your television - a full payslip for many low-income people. Such prices might be justifiable to enthusiasts but not really for the general public.
Yeah it was maybe a 50-100 person company. The new company is substantially larger.
If you only need to schedule for a handful of different delays, you can do so with RabbitMQ by having a queue with no consumers and a certain timeout with a “dead letter queue” configured. Messages will stay in there until they reach the timeout and will then be delivered in the dead letter queue. I’ve seen this approach being used successfully before.
With more modern databases, there are server-side resource constraints per bucket (query, connection, etc..). One of the resources is execution time that can be constrained. Sometimes it can even accept a hint, from the client, regarding the maximum runtime to enforce server-side.
Imagine thinking this is a clever thing to post
According to one poster - 10 million dollars. That’s a drop in the bucket compared to all of the money that Netflix has been giving the MPAA indirectly by first buying DVDs to rent and then paying millions for the right to stream movies made by MPAA members.

Picking which of the 10 bands is the brightest has got to be trivial, so much more so than directly recognising eg. '4', so it does seem to do what it says.

With a bit of rephrasing you could say exactly the same about a neural network surely. The learning was embodied in the glass, so depending on definitions, the glass was 'taught' something. It 'learnt' something.

I kind of see what you're saying, but it does seem to be discounting something actually interesting and new (in my experience).

Does local chat tell you ship types now? When I played (2006-2009) you would only see the players in the system, you would have to be in scanner range to see ship types, and only if you opened the scanner. I think the new system sounds great; wormholes existed in my time but I never used them I played strictly in nullsec. The changes would actually make it harder to gank ratters and miners though. Because most nullsec systems are unpopulated at any given time when you are looking for targets you would fly from system to system and only stop and investigate when there were people in local. So yes, the miners can't see when a ganker enters local but the gankers can't see when targets are present either. If you want to hide out and rat in a relatively low-quality system probably no one would ever find you.
It's interesting to me that photos shares a link to a website, and doesn't send the photo itself to an app when shared. While Google's way allows for better privacy by allowing us to revoke access, this isn't clear to users
Based on the email I got last week, they have a contractual obligation for old content.

As for the new issues: I believe there's a standing recommendation to look for preprints or ask the authors for a copy.

> Founder and operator of defunct bitcoin exchange Bitfunder gets 14 months jail time for lying to regulators about the loss of more than 6,000 bitcoins.

In the early days, it was common to see "bitcoin" used as a mass noun - without the plural. For example: "He lost 6,000 bitcoin." More recent usage seems to have switched to the countable noun version (e.g.: "He lost 6,000 bitcoins.").

I speculate that countable noun usage causes problems when users try to reason about how Bitcoin transactions work. Many think of Bitcoin as an account system, where a transaction debits from one account and credits to another account.

Not true.

A bitcoin transaction is much more like giving another user a specific mass of metal in the form of one or more ingots, each one measured to the nearest microgram. Only, this is done by melting/recasting enough metal on hand into one more more new ingots with some combination of masses exactly equal to the the asking price.

The merchant then can combine or split the ingots she receives in the same to make a purchase later. There is no concept of an "account," only splittable and combinable pieces of metal with masses measured to the nearest microgram.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_noun

> In English (and in many other languages), there is a tendency for nouns referring to liquids (water, juice), powders (sugar, sand), or substances (metal, wood) to be used in mass syntax, and for nouns referring to objects or people to be count nouns. ...

Worse still, the use of the countable noun "bitcoins" encourages two misconceptions:

- a full bitcoin must be transacted because the countable noun version conjures and integral entity

- 21 million bitcoin(s) is too few to work as a world currency (no division)

Another currency with confusion around mass/countable noun status is the euro:

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/13551/€10-ten-eu...

(long story short, both forms are used)

I would argue that the case for mass noun usage in Bitcoin is even stronger than for the euro, given the way it neatly maps as a real-world analogy to the underlying protocol.
Ah, I see. But, this is a new article about an old issue, not a link to an old article, so it shouldn't get a date in the title.

> Apparently, they used to have failures with the clocks

That would explain if a few of them were weird, but the report said "SATELLITE AFFECTED: ALL" which would be quite a coincidence if each clock on each satellite failed at the same time.
Well, I meant he used words instead of bytes, even if in some architectures, a word was a byte. That's because the term "word" was more widely used back then from what I can tell. Nowadays it's much more meaningful to give the actual size in bytes rather than words simply because 8-bit bytes are common throughout most modern computer systems.
Curious - is your conclusion based on the id? (Are those sequential?)

I assumed this one was more recent based on the timestamp that shows on the items. Currently, I see "4 hours ago" for this item, and "5 hours ago" for the link I submitted. But maybe there's more to it than that?
It would help with their BS about "this content is not available due to GDPR"

I would imagine that Elsevier would argue that they (and their fellow for-profit journal publishers) are providing a valuable service of being the gatekeepers of scientific knowledge and without them science would collapse in a chaos of confusion and misinformation. (Not that I really believe that's the case; things like ArXiv show that science can work without the involvement of journals open or closed at all, but that's not how the publishers see it).
Facebook is probably even worse than the Chinese government
I noticed that Facebook does this too. If you share a photo or video in a secret or closed group, then you do have to be a member of that group to view the post. But the raw photo and video have URLs that anybody in the world can access with no authentication checks at all.
Is this an actual risk? you would need to guess a link.

They’re trying to reach a wider demographic than just your taste, and I must say I put them on par with any other studio (eg HBO, Showtime) for entertainment value because netflix has more variety and content I’m interested in despite HBO arguably having higher cinematic quality.

And honestly the idea of studio quality is kind of stupid—my favorite show of all time in terms of cinematic quality, The Knick, was done by Cinemax (skinemax?) and virtually nobody has heard of it. The best shows can come from anywhere, and everyone puts out shit content.
The problem with that argument is that it proves too much. It applies to everything, because solar and wind are the same as nuclear, their incremental generation cost is effectively zero once the capital is paid, so you take whatever the market price is.

Which means you have a problem.

It's physically possible to build enough solar and wind and storage to even handle extended periods of low sun and low wind. But if you do that then on a normal day with a normal amount of sun and wind, you have a large oversupply and the price falls to zero and everybody goes bankrupt.

That happens less if you add real baseload like nuclear to the mix, because something with a fixed generation capacity doesn't have a periodic shortage requiring you to compensate with an overcapacity which bankrupts everybody on a normal day.
Absolutely true. This guy is not a hermit, sounds like an anti-social to me.
This is exactly what I, and everyone else I know, wants to happen when you share a link to a photo. Do we not remember what the alternative is? Sharing with someone's Google account, I suppose? Oh, but now when you send that link to your iMessage group, you have to know every one's Google account name. And then half of them will be logged into their work accounts (or not logged in) at the time and it will fail, and the whole message thread turns into a discussion of how 3/4 of the people can't see the photo.

What are the easier alternatives? Emailing maybe? But then you've moved the bits into someone else's account and they are there forever and can be forwarded anywhere. Maybe print a physical copy? Then that copy is around forever and can be handed to anyone else.

They only extra security I would tolerate is an optional expiration, defaulted to a year or so. I love taking photos, I enjoy sharing them, and it's important to me to keep that simple and accessible. I think of these share links as bearer auth, which is used all over the web and is a perfectly valid way to secure a resource.
Boom. Fully agree with this analogy. Religion stimulates, smartphones sedate.

Part of the push for everyone to do college is also a lowering of standards, both for entry and for completion. So it's hard to know what today's degree predicts, regardless of the experience of degrees from years ago.
