1. Once upon a time there was no internet and not even any computers. Turning academics' scribblings into neatly printed compilations of articles sent out to academic libraries across the world on a regular basis necessarily involved a publisher that could handle that sort of thing.

2. Over time, their journals' proposition evolved to be less "distributor of print" and more "curator of the most respected content". As universities started scrutinising how good their academics were at getting articles published and journals they published in started being ranked by "impact factor", the value proposition of curated content got stronger

3. Computers made it relatively easy for academics to produce print-ready articles themselves. The internet made it straightforward for academics to distribute articles as neatly formatted PDFs and share their early drafts with peers for review without involving any publisher. But also, academics and students started expecting to be able to search through decades of articles online rather than hunt for a single paper copy of each on in library, which opened up a nice little opportunity to sell renewable subscriptions for digital access to the archives.

3b. The barriers to entry used to be not having the facility to print and distribute and sell to libraries as well as the fact your new journal isn't Nature. Now it's just the latter. And also the fact you're simply not allowed to republish the decades worth of content they own, which includes a lot of must-cite texts

3c. The business model was getting academics to submit and review content for free which was then resold to universities staffed by people who expected [their students] to be able to read it as part of their research and expected the library to pick up the tab. Still is, just publishing new content is easier for everybody, and since the journal sub offers digital access to the archives and not just 12 bits of paper for the library they can ask for more eye-watering sums of money.

4. Regardless of whether open access journals ultimately inherit the prestige of the existing ones, academic publishers will continue own the copyright of decades worth of texts which academics and students are expected to have read to properly understand their field, and so university libraries will continue to be expected to subscribe to them. The lockin effect is that you can't do serious academic research without reading papers which they own. Which is also why they're not very keen on people pirating their content.

You might want to reconsider that.

> One fool writes ...

Was that not Google? I mean I have never seen it in reality; like you, I would not entertain that kind of nonsense and no-one has ever asked me, but did this happen at scale before Google became famous for it?
So I included that "necessarily" on purpose. In general smarter people will solve problems more correctly. But there is also a whole class of problems where being smart is actually a detriment. Here is a good read on this topic: https://www.newyorker.com/tech/frontal-cortex/why-smart-peop...
> Dropbox uses AWS

They very loudly left AWS several years ago, not aware of them going back.
Docker is a bad design. It is monstrously overcomplicated for what it does. In historico-aesthetic analogies, it's baroque, not renaissance.
They seem to use load balancers, so it indeed should be that easy, unless they haven't migrated to EC2 VPC.

I doubt they have any IP-dependent code, since their main selling point is not tracking anything.
Modules are in C++20 and you can already play around with them.
Once you know the price point you are targetting (assuming you are the CEO) then you would want to find someone with experience distributing software into that price point. Ideally from a position of having done by the IC and decision making roles. So if you are selling software that costs $10k/year, you would want to find someone who had both sold/marketed software directly to customers at $10k/year, and who had ideally also decided it should be $10k as opposed to $1k or $100k, and then tried things until they figured it out. The rest of the "business" stuff is much more learnable (ie. legal, HR, accounting) when the time comes, and won't impact 0-1 success at all.
> On the other hand, society really should be looking at non-exclusive ways to incentivize creation. Maybe a real copyright could be part of the mix too, but the current model rewards trying to own shared history that is largely valuable because it is shared and previously experienced, and not for the artistic contribution itself.

Woah, hang on there buddy. Without the artistic contribution you wouldn’t have the shared experience or history.

So which is more valuable? The chicken or the egg? (Hint: it’s the egg).

> I think a system with a much shorter exlusivity periode - more like 1 year - and then a longer period of e.g. mandatory fixed-price licensing (pick a price per human end user, but you cannot say no to remixes or alter the price for anyone); or citation-based subsidy, or mandatory auctioning (e.g. the copyright owner sets a price, pays X% of that price as a tax, but must sell to the highest bidder over that price, potentially annually at increasing scale?)

Music is not the same as online adverts, so I’m not entirely sure why you think a similar model should be applied.

Also, who defines what constitutes as a “remix”? Does me changing one second of audio count as a remix? I’ve altered the work, I’ve changed it. But it’s 99% the same. Is that a remix or copyright infringement?

Also, this type of model assumes EVERYTHING can be measured online. What about vinyl record sales? Cassette sales? How do you get every shop across the entire world to adhere to your model for physical products.

Also, what about live gigs? How do you license for x number of end listeners if you can’t count how many end listeners there are? And before you mention ticket sales, what about cover bands that play in pubs and bars where there are no ticket sales?

> Don't forget that the aim is to help society, not to reward artists.

Errrrrrr. What? No. Copyright law is designed to protect the rightsholders first of all.

If I don’t want someone remixing my track, why should society get a say above what I think? It’s my work. Why do they get to choose?

> I get that 20 years would be nice for artists, but I doubt that "just" 5 would be too little to incentivize creation - let's be honest, humans have been creative since well before the dawn of copyright. Again, we should be looking at incentives with less harmful downsides. It's not just too long; it's incentivizing the wrong stuff;

I’ve been making music for 10 years. In that time I’ve worked jobs to pay the bills and buy music gear. I’ve spent much of my free time on making music.

I’ve invested my money and my time over the last 10 years. If I were to “make it big” tomorrow, do you think I’d be happy about half of my investment being thrown to the wolves?

Music (and art generally) is not a linear earning process. The majority of people don’t suddenly become big overnight. There’s years (sometimes decades in the case of Gigi Masin) of toil and hardship until you finally get to the point where you actually make some money.
It's great, for me it's basically Python but better.

Downsides:

- On CPython, the generated Python code tends to be noticeably slower in hot loops than the equivalent "native" Python code. I haven't done any testing with PyPy.

- Can't really use it at work since nobody will know how to read it.

My conclusion is: it's fun, it's Lisp, and it's Python. For personal projects and small standalone tools it's perfect.
Bulgaria if you want Eurozone incorporation. The benefits are too huge to ignore. (more a comment for anyone browsing and thinking about it)
This is just a bit circular.

The 737 MAX was designed so as to keep the type rating. The design would be different, and very likely fundamentally safer if keeping the 737 type rating were not a goal. A perverse incentive from the start. So I would not dismiss the claim that the 737 is "fundamentally flawed."
I don't think that is true at all. Without advertising you would just have the information elsewhere.
Let's take an example similar to your girlfriend's case: entertainment. In Paris you have plenty of events, of all kinds. And that did not start with the internet. And promoters can be very small and have a marketing budget of around 0. Now how did they get people without advertising? You had a collaborative newspaper every week showing all the events with a small comment. Everyone interested in going out had access to it, either because they bought it or read it at school/work/library/press stand. You also have informative stands for small theaters in the metro.
No advertising does not mean no information.
At last, the majority of ads budget is taken by huge corporations with famous products, like Unilever, and really don't bring anything to society, not even information.
Hehe.

Improving one minor feature can’t fix something where the basic functionality has been broken.

Aren't "countries that are vital to stopping climate change" and "countries who are causing it" the exact same people? They're vital to stopping it by discontinuing their harmful activities.

And a tariff works as well as a subsidy, but is easier to get the party imposing it to enact because it generates revenue rather than consuming it.

I think it's the same level. There's no evident reason why "pilot's side" is any less arbitrary than "flip a coin".

Was there actually an a-priori specification that AOA sensors must always be on the pilot's side? If there is such a specification, I can't find it - Google searches for stuff like 'AOA sensors pilots side' return mostly articles about the MAX. Nor can I see a good reason for it that is concordant with the existence of paid extra feature of a disagreement light - no particular significance or weight is given to the pilot's side sensor.

It sure feels like this is a post-hoc rationalization for only writing software to handle one AOA vane at a time despite being equipped with two.
Wow - first year coursework looks pretty interesting and advanced compared to current first year coursework!
The scare quotes are what take it from potentially jocular to derisive.
I've been torn on this contract from a professional experience POV. In the IC we got AWS after they beat out IBM and the IBM protest. I'm an AWS fan so I was excited and it worked well for me when I was a contractor (I'm no longer in the space).

But having the DOD on AWS along with the IC concerns me from a lack of diversity standpoint. I've always said that Microsoft and Google should have teamed up a bit to make a competitive run. But I don't think anyone was ever interested in sharing the contract to begin with.
The worst thing about this in my opinion is that as much as I personally dislike Trump, the WaPo has lowered the quality of its journalism tremendously over the past decade and so unfortunately Trump’s critiques of the WaPo are not lacking in substance.

Bezos should have stepped in to make certain that the WaPo improve the quality of its journalism even if the easiest path to profits is just to provide entertaining stories to the #resist partisans.

There is plenty to write serious investigative journalism about that will have the consequence of weakening Trump politically (if that is the goal) so there was no need to become a tabloid.

Arguably the WaPo’s reporting on Saudi Arabia led to the grudge match that culminated in outing Bezos’ philandering, and the subsequent major decrease in Bezos’ wealth.

KSA is led by an abhorrent group of royals, but the WaPo’s coverage of the disappearance of khashoggi was tabloidesque and immature.
What does that mean? A lot of people are in therapy and almost everyone could benefit from therapy. Was it some really serious mental illness? Or merely mental health issues when compared to shooting and killing people.
Well. ErrantX has a good comment on the wider operations. The largest part of Operation Bodyguard was Operation Fortitude which was the Southern England deception.

Impact? Thanks to Ultra we have a pretty good idea. Excellent, except probably none at all from inflatables, some from the artificial radio traffic, and the vast majority from the double agents. From Wikipedia:

During the course of Fortitude, the almost complete lack of German aerial reconnaissance, together with the absence of uncontrolled German agents in Britain, came to make physical deception almost irrelevant. The unreliability of the "diplomatic leaks" resulted in their discontinuance. The majority of deception was carried out by means of false wireless traffic and through German double agents. The latter proved to be by far the most significant.

Please don't troll here thanks.
This is kind of an interesting cultural difference between Europe/America and China. While we talk about universal rights, they talk about universal duties, and this only sometimes converges on the same values.

For example:

Both the West and China believe that old people deserve care in their old age. The West would justify this by saying that the elderly have fundamental human rights, which would be neglected without care. Chinese would justify this by saying that the young have a duty of care to the old.

Both the West and China (at least superficially) believe that rulers should treat their subjects with respect. In the West, this is because each subject has human rights. In China, this is because the ruler has a duty to treat their subjects respectfully.

So I would not make the mistake of thinking that the Chinese are somehow amoral because they do not subscribe to the doctrine of human rights. It must honestly seem to them like a Western concept that clashes with their view of morality (or at least it would if I were in their shoes). But the Chinese government must have a set of duties to their people. I would love to read a document where they outline those, I'm sure it must exist somewhere.
Exactly :) This is a good response to OP ; you cannot be bothered because law blah blah blah but you can bother us with inane little tests and bullshit? If you don't see anything wrong with that...
I'm amused that such a resume would be binned by many HR departments.

That is some HR depatments, are so bad at their job, that they will literally lose your company the chance to get a Bill-gates-caliber dev.

I mean obviously if he gets to the technical interview, an engineer can see that he is competent. But they question is would such a resume get past HR?
A couple of years ago, I was working on the verification team for a (non-critical) avionics system for a large commercial aircraft. I noticed one of the components seemed to have more failures than expected.

I reported the issue and the systems architect waved it off arguing that his analysis of the supplier data had proven that the MTBF for this component was over 500 thousand hours.

Few months later, a task force was established by the project management to look for an alternate supplier for this component after it became obvious that its failure rate was significantly higher than advertised.
As an opponent of US defense spending, this is why I strongly favor Oracle or IBM getting the contract.
I think Kotlin's future is tied to Android's.

Outside Android there are better options.

On the JVM, just like any other platform, is safer to bet on the systems language of the platform than guest languages with extra debugging layers, tooling and their own wrappers for idiomatic code.

Then Kotlin is trying to stretch too much, meaning that any portable Kotlin code cannot depend on any platform or needs multiple implementations.

Finally Kotlin/Native has special semantics for handling data structures, as it tries to be Swift like, so special care is needed when the code is supposed to be used from Kotlin/Native as well.
At some point there used to be electric typewriters with a 1 or 2 line buffer that they'd show on a black and white LCD. I don't know whether they had a spellchecker, but it wouldn't be hard to add one.
"meaningful impact" in the second paragraph is an understatement ...
All four examples involve citations of the authoritative source that in addition have a link to the actual distribution channel they used. That seems to me to be more responsible bibliographic practice than simply omitting that information. Similarly, if the original article is written in a language you don't speak, you should also cite the translation you used.
Yes, especially the next sentence you didn’t include:

> Pre-Heller, the vast majority of lower federal courts had embraced the collective right theory.

Similarly, it would be useful if you discussed the reasons why the founders chose not to include any of the proposed individual rights language in the second amendment draft. It was a deliberate choice not to and there’s plenty of historical context available.

The problem with AirPods is that people are not inclined to talk to people wearing them (thinking that they are listening to music, so don't want to be interrupted, etc.) I know this because in the gym half of the people wear AirPods, and I feel reluctant talking to them, even though they seem ok with it when I do.

You probably don't want to give hearing-impaired people another barrier in communication.

Do you offer any engineer as a pair for the testing? Or can you except personal project codebase offers instead of the automated tests?

Also don't you have an onsite technical interview process that you use to assess the candidates abilities which invalidates any need for online coding tests?

If you can't answer yes to these questions. Unfortunately you are part of the problem.
BEVs also benefited from the whole smarthphone, e-tech explosion in general. If the car industry runs into a crisis, it tends to shut down production on a large scale, selling off stored vehicles.

This market alone is not enough to sustainable support fuel cell production at scale. Thus, you would need fuel cells for laptops and cellphones.

Interesting; functional programming was introduced to me through dr. racket scheme, and the core concept in there was that there is no mutable state. To me, having mutable state makes it imperative, you're not evaluating functions/expressions, you're executing statements that modify a state.
One of Go’s strength is the opinionated nature that makes it easy for me as a developer to read and understand other’s code. It’s trivial to jump into the implementation of the standard API to see how things work.

I've found that if you go past page 2x on most of these results, Google just stops presenting pages and will tell you that it's omitted the results.

The number of results may represent number of hits in a database, but it's not actually accessible to the end user. After you get into the last few pages, it'll also just cap the result count to the number of pages they've decided to show you.

> for hiring managers that if you actually want what you say you want

They don't; what they say they want is pure PR aimed at creating an image of both fit to the perceived culture of the developer community and compliance with the law.

> then you should not be hiring in this stupid broken way that we all know doesn't work and doesn't give you those things

Of course. The fact that they continue to do despite the fact that it is well-known not to produce what their PR says they want is pretty compelling evidence that their PR is nothing more than that. But as long as enough people are willing to both play the game and believe the PR, there's no incentive to change.

I've been learning a bit of Go and I like what I've understood so far but one thing that seems somewhat lacking in the Go Eco system is mathy projects. I know there are some but I couldn't find many that were both active and to my taste. I was looking to learn and hopefully contribute. I was mostly looking for something mature for either mathematical optimization (stuff like linear, quadratic or integer programming) and (non-DL) machine learning. For C++, Java, Scala, Python and Julia (less sure about this), there seems to be much more.

You can compare Go's gonum to Python's numpy. For Java's Weka, Scala's MLlib, Python's scikit-learn, C++'s Dlib to what Go is offering.

Maybe Go leans more on its C-interop for these sorts of things which is a bit like numpy.

Am I missing something? Will this change?

I think we are all well aware of what motivates these killers by now. Giving them more of a platform and audience won’t reduce their murders - it will bring them more followers.
Statistically, a substantial portion of the candidate pool will be on the low end of th curve there, even if they adopt that strategy, and even assuming it's an adequate way of dealing with the issue individually in the log term. So, unless the intent is to test for interviewing experience, the test isn't doing what it is designed to do, and is a bad test.
I said "I'm not arguing that they have any good points or that we should give them a platform."

Also, admitting ignorance doesn't mean I have "no idea". I've read a bit of psychology on this topic, and feelings of being rejected by society are very powerful motivators.
