>> Moreover, all the music is licensed through a single IP rights licensing system.

> No, it's not, it's just that public performance licensing has a small number of agencies that most artists are affiliated with, and offer blanket licenses

At least in Germany we have a single agency (GEMA) that acts on behalf of virtually all artists worldwide. They are responsible for a range of licenses, be it for bands that want to cover a song on their new album, a bar that wants to play music or a music streaming service that wants to get started.

In my experience it is a tremendous help to have a single entity for licensing that even has ready-made rates for most things.

I don't see a reason why this could not exist for movies as well. Cost-intensive productions can easily be reflected by tiered pricing so that it costs more to stream/show Jurassic Park than some independent movie.
It's possible to run IP networks over HAM radio, and there's an allocated IP block for such a purpose.

Though I'm not sure how practical it is; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMPRNet suggests the speeds are much slower than a dial-up connection would be.
> The effect of leaving was easier to measure, the company folded about a year later.

Was it because you have a skill so rare that you are irreplaceable, or was the system not documented well enough that someone with the same skill-level as you (or higher) wouldn't be able to maintain it from a clean slate?
The short answer is yes it added value, but I wouldn't use it if I started on org-web today. Largely this is because of the new hooks API in React (particularly useReducer).

Redux also helped me grow a lot as an engineer. I'm sure the concepts that it builds on aren't new, but they were new to me when I first started using Redux and I now spend a lot of time thinking the way Redux taught (or forced) me to think.
TLA is also a (linear) temporal logic that's simpler than LTL, and it's at the core of TLA+. If you don't want to spend months studying and then months writing proofs as a learning experience but rather would like to actually specify and verify real systems, use a language with a temporal logic model checker, like TLA+ (that has the TLC model checker) or Promella (Spin). If you want the other kind of experience, there have been implementations of TLA in both Coq and Isabelle.
Apparently this was never a rule except in textbooks, like splitting infinitives, ending sentences with prepositions, typesetting ordinal suffixes ("th" etc) in superscript, and always putting punctuation inside of quotation marks.
Currently its just the visited file, which is mostly a product of how I use org-mode - I've got one monolithic org file instead of multiple files. But adding support for multiple files is something I'd eventually like to tackle.

Has anyone ever been accused of faking a vacation? Of course not, because that would be ridiculous. But since sick days are called sick days all of a sudden you need to prove you're bedridden or else face consequences? That's absurd. Treat your employees like adults.

So, I'd just show my green card instead of pulling out an app.
For those who don't know what a mess it was in the Balkans in the 90s, this should give you some idea:

- at times non-American Generals were in charge of the UN forces. So what did they do? They moved their country forces to the rear, and sent "coalition" forces into battle. The reason was that any casualties (even 2 or 3 dead) would be a political crisis at home (true across most European nations.)

- the Albanian underground had to import a 50 cal AA gun from the US. What for? To shoot at UN helicopters attacking their citizens. And guess what ... it worked - the UN stopped flying helicopters after their ground search for it failed. (Think about it for a second - who else had helicopters to shoot down besides the UN?)

- the US did an airstrike on the Chinese Embassy ... because they were relaying radio signal traffic to local forces fighting the UN. This caused a major international incident, but nobody seriously denies ... that the Chinese were involved in radio signal intercepts for locals.

- The UN agreed to cease-fires with enemy forces and allowed them to enter refugee camps and hospitals. Guess what happened next. Good on the Swedes ... there wasn't much courage going around at the time.
Actually for the longest time if you simply toggled:

Settings -> Background Apps -> "Let apps run in the background"

It would disable search even though nothing related to search was in the apps list (along with other presumably hidden items). The workaround was to leave background apps globally enabled and manually disable every app that showed in the list (including any that got added over time). I think this was finally fixed in 1809.
ouch. Would expect Alaska is boned — all the shale-related production is cheaper to produce and closer to consumers than Alaskan stuff.
Somehow, right?

But why isn't there an ML with the good parts of YAML, but without the bad parts?
That's unfair.

Everyone is polite, and "bloodthirsty" at different times.

The Swiss, the French, the Kenyans, the Mauritians, the Indonesians, the Chileans, literally everyone on earth. Every nation and every human is faced with that dichotomous state of being.

British are no more polite, or bloodthirsty than Americans. Japanese are no more polite, or bloodthirsty than Canadians or Koreans. What you allude to is a very human failure, and is present in every society on earth.

> What do you mean falsifiable?

Testable. Ability to approve or dismiss idea. This ability seems to exist only within some defined constrains (time, space...). That's my question at its roots.

Of course we assume that statement which fails to be 'tested' within those constrains is 'false' or at least probabilistically closer to 'false' than 'true'. However, without those modeled constrains, statement 'hangs' in some quantum realm of uncertainty until some final resolution happens.

Hence the question, isn't ultimately everything falsifiable? I could always give my 'test' a little more time or define bigger space for it to work until one day it would work. In other words, I can wait infinite amount of time for something to become true, where false happens in finite amount of time.

Ie. What if I waited 1bln years until green skinned trunk people will start living at the edge of Antarctica?

It seems to border on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demarcation_problem

> Could you elaborate on what you mean by "there is also, of course, Gödel"?

I referred to Incompleteness Theorem, namely - problem of consistency. In case of falsifiability:

a) Impossibility to establish the internal logical consistency, unless one adopts principles of reasoning so complex that their internal consistency is as open to doubt.
b) Models cannot be made in finite number of observation.
c) Even if theorems already deduced do not contradict each other, there remains possibility that the very next theorem deduced may be contradictory.

Honestly guys, uff... But I do try to get deeper understanding of 'falsifiability' and its limits :)

I think beorg is fantastic and I poked around with it for a while before building org-web.

Ultimately I decided to build org-web anyway because I wanted something a bit closer to the metal, in a way. My impression of Beorg was that its bit higher level, whereas org-web provides some first class support for org features while still letting you edit the raw text if you'd like to.

To be clear, I think both styles have their advantages. org-web's style isn't better, its better for me.

The INRIA paper was indeed my reference.

It seems like a huge mistake if they missed key optimizations, but I'm happy to take your word for it.

>The way I see it, it's technically a new ship with every part that gets replaced. Nothing unusual about it.

That's still unusual because we don't consider a house a "new house" if we replace the door or rebuild a wall or whatever. We don't consider a person a new person when we e.g. give them an artificial leg. We also never consider a ship a "new ship" when we replace a part of the ship. Not instinctively, not casually, and nor "technically" (e.g. as far as the law is concerned).

So not sure why you think there's "nothing unusual about it", and what's your solution. You merely picked a side to a two-sided paradox, you didn't solve it...

Cavalry actually was used very effectively in WWI, for example the Battle of Mons. It was still quite devastating outside of trench warfare, which was why there where still some cavalry units at the start of WWII.

Consider a man lugging around a 35lb anti tank rifle, ammunition, and gear would have loved to have a horse. That can apply to just about any heavy but still man portable weapon.

PS: Horses where still useful outside of battle in WWII. Hell, America was occasionally using donkey’s in Afghanistan.
One of the less speculative ones is that a lot of the NYT's glossy front-page publicism would be rendered much more difficult and expensive if government goodwill were withdrawn from it (and so it could no longer embed its staff with US military campaigns, would lose access to quotes from "anonymous defense officials" and what-not and might not be among the first to be informed if e.g. the government wants to tell the press that they shot down an Iranian drone). This probably extends to access to insiders who are not directly employed by the US government, but part of the wider "beltway culture" (work for think tanks, government contractors and sub^n-contractors etc.) and therefore under significant social (and maybe professional, to the extent they require security clearance) pressure to at least outwardly defend US government interests and shun those who are considered to be a risk to them.

Yes, but bitrate isn't necessarily the achievement. Nobody expects to run apt didt-upgrade with that uplink. Just that digital communications is possible at all, makes it a highly useful technology. Imagine all the remote areas that can be reached by HAM. All that is needed is an RX and a TX every now and then.
Sounds like the collateralization option.

Startups take a lot of risks, its in their nature, so bankruptcy is always a possibility. Maybe you have the best intentions, but you're not a big bank yet, and even those have gone bankrupt.
I think the "sorry" thing comes from the the fact that many Canadians pronounce the first vowel of "sorry" differently from the rest of North America. So it becomes a default "quaint Canadianism" joke.

In supporting the enterprise, pretty much every application I deal with is unfortunately "Windows Only". Accounts tends to be managed by MYOB, Quickbooks or in the large firms, Accountants Office (also a MYOB product). All these ship with Windows services, Attache being particularly offensive as it has "known issues" with clients on Windows 8.1 or higher. Pay is often Payglobal or NAV, which again is Windows.

The closest I had was a LexisNexis product that used to run on a Linux server - until our account manager told us they were dropping Linux because, and I quote, "Linux has too many security problems". I've supported two different EMR (medical) products, and at least five different POS products, all Windows only. Even when we get a SaaS product running in a web browser, half the time it's "IE only".

I'd give a lot to live in the type of organisation without this legacy.

It seems plausible to me that Brexit would cause lower house prices in London without affecting the rest of the country.

1. London has (had?) a lot of immigration from the EU.

2. London's economy is very connected to the EU. Lots of European companies use London's financial and business services.

Don't want to argue against your overall point, however.

I know somebody who basically stole a class A IP network many years ago. (He wouldn't tell me which one. ;)

The company that owned it went out of business, so he registered their domain name, and sent in an email to authorize the transfer.

Once you've got a hot class A network on your hands, but don't have 16,777,216 computers to use it, what can you possibly with it?

It's not as if you can hide it in your garage, file the serial number off, repaint it, and put it up for sale on the black market!

He ended up trading it under the table to a company that could use it, in exchange for the promise of free service for life.

I can echo this. On a security assessment I found an organisation was a long way behind in Windows Updates. I eventually tracked this to the AppReadiness service being disabled, which someone thought was a cool debloat option. The end result is that machines just claim to be up to date despite not being.
Legacy of Ashes, p. 77:

> Dulles kept in close touch with the men who ran The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the nation's leading weekly magazines. He could pick up the phone and edit a breaking story, make sure an irritating foreign correspondent was yanked from the field, or hire the services of men such as Time's Berlin bureau chief and Newsweek's man in Tokyo. It was second nature for Dulles to plant stories in the press. American newsrooms were dominated by veterans of the government's wartime propaganda branch, the Office of War Information, once part of Wild Bill Donovan's domain. The men who responded to the CIA's call included Henry Luce and his editors at Time, Look, and Fortune; popular magazines such as Parade, the Saturday Review, and Reader's Digest; and the most powerful executives at CBS News. Dulles built a public-relations and propaganda machine that came to include more than fifty news organizations, a dozen publishing houses, and personal pledges of support from men such as Axel Springer, West Germany's most powerful press baron. Dulles wanted to be seen as the subtle master of a professional spy service. The press dutifully reflected that image. But the archives of the CIA tell a different story.
I used to do ion-trap based quantum computing research but I've been out of the field since 2009. It's great there's multiple large entities investing in quantum computing. Honestly I had been getting pretty skeptical on any of the approaches (ion tap, superconducting, neutral atom traps etc...) because it seemed like little progress was being made.

I wish I wish there was more here to go on. There's nothing 'new' here in the actual article I can see, except an extrapolation from a trend observed for VERY low #'s of qubits forward; seems like the shakiest kind of speculation.

Quantum simulations see like the lowest hanging fruit for useful computation out of these low-qubit systems; I look forward to seeing if they can use their system to solve some currently intractable problems!
I use Linux heavily (work and home) but it's never played as well with hardware as I'd have liked. HDR is basically non-existent, G-Sync is basically impossible in windowed mode, 150% high DPI is only really functional in KDE, it's extremely painful to use a custom keyboard layout (and the method seems to change yearly), both Firefox and Chrome run significantly slower/use significantly more power, not all of the non-Linux apps I need work well in WINE, and when new hardware is timely supported I still have to upgrade the kernel (many of the times manually).

Most annoying on my laptop there is some input issue with the keyboard where it would drop a couple of key inputs per minute, usually grouped. I spent a month trying to figure out why and trying different solutions, never did find out.

But more than all of that... even on the hardware where everything worked out of the box and none of the above limitations were a problem... I still have to customize the install. Sure, I may not have to remove sleezy/privacy invading stuff like on Windows but it's not like I just click one button and get the exact packages I want.

I love Linux but only as a VM or single purpose bare metal box, for a daily driver (work or home) it's simply easier to use Windows and run WSL or Hyper-V if I need something Linux specific.

If the software in question is supposed to provide business differentiation, err toward rolling your own. You can’t differentiate yourself by simply gluing together some open source software in a straightforward way.

If you think you can differentiate your business this way, then the software your building isn’t the differentiator, which is OK for many businesses. (Since you are asking about JavaScript, maybe time to market and network effects are more important than it working properly out of the gate, for example.)

On a related note, I’ve found I learn a lot more working at successful businesses that err towards rolling their own software, and that those companies tend to have smaller teams and stronger products. Clearly, there is some survivor bias at play (maybe most places that roll their own fail, and only the spectacularly good ones succeed).

Sick days and vacation days typically have different notification requirements- in most places that had them I've worked at, it was 2 weeks for vacation and asap for sick leave. Vacation time could be denied if, say, the job involved time sensitive equipment or safety related tasks (I.e. nursing) and others had already requested the time off.

Abusing sick leave- depending on the job- has very real consequences for your coworkers and company, if someone absolutely has to pick up your slack.
