WRT artists and creativity...

It's ridiculously reductive and misses swathes of nuance. Apparently anyone who uses an A minor chord is derivative by that logic. Anyone using an ABCDCAECCF song structure is derivative. Anyone using drums is derivative!

Using its logic, one could argue that your own comment is derivative - it uses the English language, you used the HN comments system rather than making your own, you included a vimeo link like so many other people on HN, you used the block quote symbol instead of coming up with your own.

When I record noise in a coffee shop, I'm using a technique that many other people have used, yes. However, I'm the only one sitting in that exact position, using that exact microphone, with those exact people around me talking about those specific things at that specific moment in time. So the sound I record is not derivative. It's special. It's unique. No-one else has recorded that sound. No-one else accidentally spilled his coffee halfway through the recording and mumbled "ah sh" in my voice.

If you want to be black and white, yes all art is derivative. No-one has ever created anything purely original ever. In the whole world and the entirety of time. But that misses the point. My personality, wide ranging influences, strange thoughts, ideas and mistakes are in that recording.

Also, good artists copy, great artists steal. Every time I show new tracks to my friends I try to ask who they think the influences were. It's a really fun game because 90% of the time it shows me more about their taste in music than mine.

WRT Copyright law.

I can only speak for the UK here, but we are one of the biggest exporters of music in the world. We export more of our music than most other nations. That's not evidence of a system that is stifling creativity. Far from it!

PRS For Music pays out around £700 million to UK rights holders annually. And that's just one part of the music industry!

This stuff about exclusive licenses also isn't really a problem. All those Beastie Boys, Eminem and Will Smith tracks will have cleared the Led Zeppelin sample (mentioned in Part 1), negotiating a share of the royalty with the original rightsholders. I know this because I used to look at these royalty shares every day in PRS systems (used to work there).

Sure, if you want to use a sample from a popular song in your work, you have to do a bit of extra work and maybe sacrifice a bit of cash. Hell, maybe you can't actually clear it and need to replace that sample.

But you're trying to use someone else's work directly, and without modification, so they should be fairly paid for that. You could have created your own element to fit in that space, but you didn't.

Sampling actually has an interesting loophole BTW. If the sample is modified beyond recognition, it is considered a new work and doesn't need to be cleared/attributed.

Finally, just for the sake of clarity, the stuff he was talking about wrt Led Zeppelin stealing from other artists actually sits in the area known as Arrangements. These are a whole weird grey area, which is why people go through through lengthy court battles.

> The stolen data contained names, email addresses, scrambled password (believed to be hashed with the MD5 algorithm and salted), and other profile information — such as shoe size and trading currency. The data also included the user’s device type, such as Android or iPhone, and the software version.

The serious tone of this article made me double check if this was April 1st when I read this paragraph. The stolen data is shoe sizes? MD5 hashing for passwords isn't ideal, especially combined with email addresses - that could lead to some email accounts being accessed if people use the same password for everything. The article seems to not really give much attention to this though, not clear if the author even realises this is the main problem.

Students in India Can't Earn College Admission on Merit, They Buy Their Way In
I’m just surprised that anyone reported this. Oftentimes, users will find workarounds of their own when the software changes. In this case I expect that at least some users rather than reporting how alphabetical sorting affected them, would prefix the cheats with ascending numbers or letters.

So if the user had a list that consisted of

- Infinite Health

- Infinite Car Health

- Timers Frozen

- Infinite Ammo

- ...

The user might rename them to

- 000 Infinite health

- 001 Infinite Car Health

- 002 Timers Frozen

- 003 Infinite Ammo

- ...

or

- AAA Infinite Health

- AAB Infinite Car Health

- AAC Timers Frozen

- AAD Infinite Ammo

- ...

And if the user was anticipating adding more cheats or reordering the cheats, they might number the sequence with gaps in the numbering between each of the entries and at each end.

For example if they had an initial set of 23 cheats they might put a gap of floor(1000/((23 - 1) + 2)) = 41 entries between each entry, numbering them as

- 041 Infinite Health

- 083 Infinite Car Health

- 125 Timers Frozen

- 167 Infinite Ammo

- ...

Allowing them to insert or rearrange quite a few entries before having to renumber any of the others.

- 041 Infinite Health

- 062 Timers Frozen

- 083 Infinite Car Health

- 167 Infinite Ammo

- ...

Though perhaps more likely you would see them name their cheats something like the following

- A_Infinite Health

- B_Infinite Car Health

- C_Timers Frozen

- D_Infinite Ammo

- ...

And to rearrange it as above they would change it to

- A_Infinite Health

- A_Timers Frozen

- B_Infinite Car Health

- D_Infinite Ammo

- ...

And a few edits later the list would look like

- AAAAA_BEST FAVORITE NEW EDIT 2

- AAAA_BEST FAVORITE NEW

- AAA_Best favorite

- AA_Cool cheat

- ...

Or they might be the kind of person that loves to cobble together some crazy solution wherein they store the names and cheat codes in an Excel file, and use Excel to manage the cheats, and renumber them by entering 000, 001, 002 into the first column of the sheet and select those three cells and then drag the handle in the bottom right of the select downward to continue the series of numbers. Then they export it to CSV and open the CSV in Notepad, do some find-replace operations and then copy-paste the result into their INI file.

Or they could be the kind of person that is familiar with some scripting language, for example Python, so while this user won’t touch the code of Dolphin, the user could still write a little script that would renumber the cheats in their INI file for them after they’ve reordered or added entries.

Thankfully, someone reported the issue though, and so these kinds of workarounds will not happen in this case.

And the kind of person that is most helped by the reverting of the behavior is perhaps the type of person that would otherwise stay indefinitely on the last version of Dolphin that had the entries appearing in the order they appeared in the INI file, and who would then miss out on all of the other improvements coming after that.

Nah what will happen is Elservier will find all the other corporate entities that are also being linked to. Their lawyers will say these companies are “similarly situated” and seek to form a class. The class will end up being literally anyone who has their content being linked to. Then their lawyers will file motions of discovery. Those motions will seek every single piece of information conceivable in regards to how the information was linked. Computer make and model. Software installed. Who did it when where why and how. It’ll be a flood of paperwork. That’s how all major companies operate.

Half Korean.

I thought I figured out some amazing snack when I started eating ramen straight out of the pack. My brother and I would mix it with microwave popcorn (two unhealthy snacks cancel each other out, right?)

So it came as a shock when my cousin from Korea came to visit and wasn't impressed with our ramen snacks.

"Doesn't everyone do this?"

Turned out my Half-Korean friends were doing the same thing (we were all Army brats). They were equally surprised to find others doing it.

Guess what? The world is filled with imperfection.

The line of reasoning "Since I can't come up with a perfect solution, so instead I'll do nothing at all", is a terrible approach.

The courts get things wrong, credit card fraud detection gets things wrong, anti-virus gets things wrong. Tons of things aren't perfect - that's the real world.

The answer of "well I can't come up with a perfect version of those so let's do nothing" is preposterous.
Oh yeah, by “swipe indiscriminately” i really meant “swipe on literally everybody and then downselect from matches”. It’s a very obnoxious thing to do. Pretty easy, but it discourages people from messaging any guy first when you know there’s a good chance they’ll just unmatch right away.

I don’t think those guys are even close to the majority of straight male users, but since they always swipe right, you have a 100% chance of matching one of them if you swipe right too. So they pollute your match list disproportionately and end up making it worse for everyone. Pretty annoying.

So what? My RSS subscriptions don't include random subreddits, but they do include Ars Technica, so their reporting absolutely provided value to me. It is literally the job description of journalists to sift through noise and filter out the signal so I don't have to do it myself.

(Having said that, it probably would have been sufficient to write a way shorter article that just points readers to the Reddit post instead of copy-pasting it. But I suppose that some corporate overlord won't let them do that.)

(And it would also have been more appropriate for this HN submission to link to the Reddit post directly.)

One party trick some people miss about me is that for a number of years I carried around an iPad mini (with cellular) in my front jeans pocket. It was my primary and only mobile device. It was somewhat more inconvenient than a smaller phone, but not by as much as one would expect it to be. Having its bigger screen was an advantage in many situations though.

I downsized to a large phone a year ago (partly because Apple neglected the iPad mini and I gave up waiting for a better version to come out).

To add to that, regex mojo has just kind of built up in my head over years. It's not something a topic I was able to study, learn, and retain (well). Every time I stumble onto a regex use case I need to understand & don't, I level up at that time, and that's always been totally fine.

A few months ago I needed to add a regex for validating IPv4 addresses that were in a non-standard format. I had to do a little research, then I wrote & tested it, and promptly forgot 90% of what I had just learned.
Cool, yeah I know the sorts of books you mean. And agreed that the authors do not write those chapters in the expectation of royalties and agreed one shouldn't feel guilt in pirating them. But your post is at risk of being read out of context, as saying that libgen should be used without guilt, and there are people in this thread who seem almost to think that there are no ethical questions surrounding libgen, and who seem to think that libgen is ethically equivalent to scihub.
It's a great way to reinforce your own learning, share what you just learned, and get great feedback (many of the comments in this thread)
Thanks for learning about citationsy.com! I don't publish with Elsevier since the Cost of Knowledge movement. I try my best to not publish with any publisher who locks the article or who asks money from the author (gold OA). But hear me well: it is useless to blame only Elsevier. Go for the academic managers who make possible this. Or the gold OA circus. Otherwise publish with arXiv or better try to make all your work available: data, programs, etc.
Yeah, people who are completely direct about what they want in both their profile and communications tend to have a much better time on apps. I try to put things in my profile that will be charming to people I might like and alienating to people I wouldn’t, and it works very well. You have to have some standards and filter out obvious bad matches quickly. Since you’re not dating in your social circles, you don’t have the advantage of a pre-vetted dating pool, so you have to just recognize that most of the people you see won’t be a good match at all.

Like what? Like the footnote about pressure likely needing to be regulatory, because there's literally no way the market will do the right thing on its own?

It's more that it never happens when it should. Proper balance is achieved - if at all - when a piece of technology becomes boring so commercial entities don't care, because they're busy balkanizing a newer technology. So yes, it takes too long, human lives are too short, and I'd like the world to move to the point where new technologies aren't kept in perpetual state of sucking until they're bled dry of profits.

> The ends do not justify the means, no matter how great your intentions.

Come on, we're not talking about killing people here, just about discouraging greedy behaviour. Also, what you consider "fascist" I'd consider leveling the playing field and allowing smaller actors to participate. At the very least, I'd like to see legal protections around IP and terms of service weakened, to promote what EFF calls "adversarial interoperability".

Aren’t logos fair use?

That’s a very broad question. For one thing, fair use is a concept only in US law. Other countries may have their own versions of it, but all of them have their own unique limits. Even under the US version, it is not at all clear that it would fall under fair use. If I start making t-shirts with the Facebook logo on them, is that fair use? No, it isn’t. Is there much difference between that and putting it on a website that I make money from? The right jury would say no.

I love hacker news. The only place you see this on the internet.
This describes my dad.

Back around 2008, he would come to my house and love watching movies on my TV connected to my Mac Mini running Front Row. The original Apple remote was a thing of simplicity and beauty.

I moved on to a Roku box running Plex and he still liked it, but it was more complicated, easier to misclick something and he would struggle to get back. He eventually got the hang of it. But by then, his hearing was declining and he kept having to juggle multiple remotes to turn the sound up and down.

Fast forward to 2017, we had a Roku TV with one remote to control everything and it made life a little easier. He could navigate the different apps and find enough to keep him entertained.

So I bought him a 49 inch TCL Roku TV ($350) and then the problems started.

- I have gigabit Ethernet up and down, reliable WiFi that never drops below 200Mbps and wired Ethernet throughout the house - my internet connection is reliable. They live in a small town with 50Mbps cable internet that’s not reliable. There is nothing so frustrating as having your video cut out in the middle and having buffering when you’ve been use to cable for the last 40 years.

- Data caps - we don’t have them, he does. He never had to worry about data caps when watching video.

- signing in. For some reason, the video on demand channels that he can get via his cable login keeps making him re authorize. That means he has to go to a computer or his phone to activate the channel - he’s not going to do that. I ended up just deleting all of those channels. He never had to do that with his cable.

- searching. The search interface is alien to a cable user.

- I signed him in to my Amazon Prime account but he’s afraid to use it because he doesn’t want to accidentally buy a movie since Amazon mixes in free with Prime, for rent and movies you have to purchase.

- if he logs into Netflix with someone else’s profile he sees a different set of movies. Once he watches all of the suggested movies on his profile, he thinks that’s all there is. He doesn’t search for other movies.

If he does want to switch to cable, he has to switch to another connection (even though it’s clearly labeled as cable) and use another remote. We use DirecTVNow for cable, it’s just another app.

Edit:

Did I mention that my Plex server that I signed him into doesn’t have 5 9s uptime. If it isn’t running when he wants to watch a movie, he will avoid it for weeks. No matter how often I describe the difference between Plex - that runs on my computer - and Netflix.
I took very much the opposite impression from the article - rather than allowing a lot of little grievances to fester into a big familial rift, the author did something that's kind of dramatic from a teenager's perspective but also essentially benign. The daughter faced some consequences for being a slob, but she learned something useful in the process and actually had some fun with her punishment. It seems like their bond was ultimately strengthened by this little charade. If that's the behaviour of a "terrible parent" then I can't imagine what you consider to be good parenting.
I've noticed that my tests are a lot less tortured when the language supports async/await.

But I do wonder if await should be the default behavior, since most async code is still sequential within the operation, at least until we start composing async operations. In which case having the keywords point out the composition probably improves reading comprehension.

To be cynical, sorting through conflicts of interests would take more effort and Elsevier wouldn’t find that profitable. More realistically running an unbiased journal will always be difficult unless human nature changes significantly. Nevertheless it’s still worthwhile to do.

Same as you, I’ve had reviewers reject research based on a reviewer’s stake in the outcome, and also had good reviews with constructive feedback. As a reviewer I’ve also helped "tear apart" an article that had good results but was poorly structured to help them clean up their article.
