It's a very good system for having just enough web analytics for majority of the use cases.

Don't need to give up users privacy and force them to download an intrusive proprietary JavaScript code on their browser to monitor their behaviors and in some cases pass on private information without their knowledge to third party services.

Hopefully we can go back to old days relying more on these kind of tools to just get anonymized statistics.
My home is heated with natural gas. The kitchen stove is also natural gas. In the post fracking era, it has been quite inexpensive. Natural gas is knocking on 20 year lows right now. There is a few dollar charge per month, regardless of use, for the connection.
Yeah, builds on my i7 Linux laptop are noticeably faster with Spectre mitigations disabled.

Pretty sad that mitigations against a largely theoretical attack hurt performance for everyone. Meanwhile people continue to open e-mail attachments with .scr extensions.
There should me a method of taking this further. Like having the real radio, sensor, etc information but also having a mocked version of these interfaces. The user can toggle mocked or real interface and the app has no idea which it is receiving. Each one can be faked in its own specific way (spoofed GPS looks different than spoofed accelerometer, etc).

>On the other hand, I think it's reasonable to say that the AI provides capabilities that current laws didn't anticipate.

I don't see that being the case. It changes the cost, but I was always able to have someone transcribe text for me. If I paid someone to listen to audio of objects I own and produce a copy of the words within it just for my consumption, then it is legal.

Even more so, I was always able to transcribe it into words myself. Be it pen and paper or be it a keyboard and hard drive, I was always able to take audio I own and transcribe it into written text for my own use. The AI provides a great reduction in difficult in doing this, but does not provide any new functionality.
> The 240v plugs themselves are designed differently (wider spacing between prongs) which I imagine is partly because they're supposed to safely handle higher voltages…

It's mostly because they're supposed to be safe at all, which US plugs really are not.

230V (that's the actual EU voltage[0]) will break down poor insulation faster, but AFAIK that's about it, 15mA across the heart will kill you and neither has any issue with this.

[0] ±6% officially, with byes to +6-10 and +10-6 so countries formerly 220±6 and 240±6 are "in-bounds" without having to overhaul their grid in the short-term — therefore effectively 230±10%
Just to clarify, the "fair" in "fair use" is not really in the sense of whether the use is fair and just. e.g. it's not legally valid to argue "I paid for this audiobook, and I did all the work to transcribe it, and I'm not profiting from it. It's fair use, i.e. not unfair to anyone else"

Fair use is primarily about transformative work, e.g. how much copyrighted material is it "fair" for someone to copy and reuse in order to create a transformative work (e.g. parody or critique), without having to compensate the copyright owner.

Your example involves reproducing the entirety of an intellectual work onto a different medium. That's not a transformative work in the context of fair use. And IANAL, but as long as the copyright owner is making money from selling separate text and audio copies, I don't see how creating your own print copy via transcription, ostensibly because you didn't want to buy it from the publisher, is technically legal if for some reason it became a legal case.

Of course, when it comes to the real world, your personal transcription is protected by the fact that no one knows or cares about it :)
Netburst was the Pentium 4 architecture that introduce large execution pipelines that permitted high clock speeds thinking they could out run inefficiency. Latency, power and temperature however became mitigating factors.

Alongside Netburst development, Intel had the Israeli team develop a mobile first platform. The team took parts of the bus for Netburst and shit canned the rest if the design in favor of the Pentium III which they optimized the shit out of. They introduced concepts like microop fusion and developed the processor with the goal of sleeping whenever possible to conserve power.

The net result was the Banias platform which was incredibly efficient because it was incredibly fast. The original Core line was basically Banias with power saving turned off.

UBI is transparently an attempt to redistribute tax income to private companies such that no opportunity for profit stays with or is limited by government. UBI would mean no more Medicare stipulations, no more existing conditions protections.

> But being able to turn an audio book into text seems well within my rights.

Maybe it is. The law isn't the best place to glean any useful moral principles from. I think if you're willing to put in the effort, nobody's going to stop you from making your own text version from the audiobook. But once you're in a position where you're distributing that unauthorized version, or you're already a distributor of the audiobook version and add a feature that automatically creates a text version (without appropriate licensing from the copyright holder), it's something else entirely.

1) It's not standardized but it's very simple to implement nevertheless.

It is my understanding that 2) doesn't have anything to do with C (so given hardware support, you can have it for free whether working in C or not. I think this kind of invalidates your point).

And also, 2) is not perfect, only probabilistic (a source I found says 94% likelyhood to detect OOB).

And it works only for the most basic situations where you use the system allocator and never subpartition these allocations. So, beyond these simple cases that we can get for free without any involvement from C semantics, I still maintain that it is unclear how to devise a reasonable a useful system to do bounds checking that can be added to the C memory model. We can make up an annotation syntax to cover many of the simpler cases, but these are hardly better than plain assertions (which I regularly use).

I doubt Hoare had a good idea to add general bounds checking on a low-level language like C, otherwise that would be standardized by now.

> i ought to be allowed to produce a clay-tablet version (at my own expense, and only for my own use).

What in the world does this have to do with Amazon providing a feature on their audiobook distribution platform, for which certain licenses were acquired to be able to distribute these audiobooks, that automatically creates unlicensed copies? If you want to create a clay-tablet version from your own copy for your own use, go for it. But the moment Amazon decides they're bored with audiobooks and start selling clay-tablet versions on amazon.com without appropriate licensing, that's entirely different.
Nice, this looks pretty similar to Coders at Work + they both came out around the same time. Anyone knows if they share a common origin?

Is this true? Either way, gas stoves are so much nicer to cook on than electric hobs - electric ones take forever to heat up and cool down compared to gas.

> so the compiler can do a lot of pointer and inlining magic that C and other languages can't.

Isn't this a negative for Rust for when you actually do care about such micro-optimizations? It feels as if you not only need to know the language itself but also how the particular version of the compiler you are using has decided to interpret the language and apply optimizations - essentially having to know how the magic trick is performed.

AFAIK this is why Free Pascal added constref in addition to const (which existed since the 90s in Delphi) - the latter doesn't guarantee pass-by-reference (even if in most cases it will do that) so if you care about that you need to know how the compiler you are using will treat it (thus needing to know more than just the language) but constref does exactly that. Now granted this was mainly done for interfacing with external code written in other langauges than micro-optimizations, but it still applies that if you cared about what the compiler will produce you had to rely on "magic knowledge" before constref was introduced.

the author doesn't make the data representation explicit, but if doubles are used for positions, 4000 triangles alone would be 288,000 bytes (8 bytes * 3 indices * 3 vecs * 4000). 4,000 of each would spill the largest L1 cache I know of on a mainstream processor (512 KB) and they would still be too big to fit in L1 cache of most modern CPUs even if the vectors used floats. it wouldn't be a huge margin though.

I agree with your point 2) in general. first try for the closest mapping between language semantics and program semantics. come back and do weird stuff later after profiling.
Six-minute lithium battery recharge for phones and cars on way
Yes the radiation from the infalling body gives the remote observer some information about what is going on with the body. From their viewpoint, the process of fall into the hole takes infinite time, or in other words, it never completes. The longer the time of observation, the longer the wavelengths of the radiation from the body, so the less and less information is obtained, until the radiation is so red shifted that it is not measurable. That is when the acquisition of information stops. The body still falls down after that, it is a never-ending process but for practical purposes the body is gone.

How did Google “treating employees like adults” work out? The only reason an employer goes to work is to make money. The only reason an employer hires someone is to make them money or to save them money.

Bringing anything else into the workplace is an unnecessary distraction from both the employee’s and employer’s standpoint. I go to work to have money deposited into my account twice a month and go home to spend time with my family and friends. The more time I spend at work spending energy not doing work either I will be less effective or spend more time away from family/friends/hobbies to be effective at work.
A while ago I used Hubspot CRM for a bit. I think it's slow and quirky, and to me it's a big red flag how hard they make it to get the data out (or, well, 2 years ago at least).

But Hubspot gets one thing right that I never understood other CRMs can't do. If Hubspot sees an email from name@company.com, they automatically make a new contact for that name, and a new organization for that company (derived from the @company.com), enrich it all with available data (employee size etc), which I guess they get from some Clearbit-like data. This is super useful, because it means all relevant organization about a new lead who just reached out is just there. The only manual logging I ever have to do is eg log calls or write internal notes. No bookkeeping whatsoever.

Similarly, if I want to log someone I met at, say, a conference, I just enter their email address from their business card (or whatever) and -poof- the contact and organization are there. Maybe I'll add the phone number if they're oldschool like that, but that's it. All the otherfields are immediately in "good enough" mode.

A while later I tried Close.io, who advertise loudly in the blogosphere about how much other CRMs make you click and type, and I had to make every contact and organization by hand! How is that automation? I simply don't understand how any CRM in 2019 can ship with so much manual data entry. What am I missing? Is my use case such an edge case?

If you'd add stuff like this, then maybe I'd be interested in switching over. But having to manually maintain every single piece of data, when much information is publicly available from various sources, is just not worth my time.

And if you have this feature, I'd highlight it proudly on the website :D

To other HN'ers, if you have suggestions for CRMs that get this right, I'm interested.
Pure resistive heated stoves yes, most inductive ones are actually quite fast and nice to use.
Indeed.

One particular argument in Authors Guild, Inc. v. Google, Inc. is about search functionality, which may be little similar. If I understand correctly google books lets search the book. But not sure, if they improved or modeled their search engine on copyrighted books.

On the same line, if I remember correctly google used classic and out of copyright material to teach its translation models. Which will resonate more to the current case.

I disagree a bit with your definition of fair use. Fair use is a bit a hodgepodge, I think IANAL, but the “four factors [0] #4 is the use’s limitation on creating value from the original work. It seems to me that creating captions from an audiobook in no way limits the copyright holder from selling more audiobooks.

There’s also a factor on profit/non-profit uses that doesn’t hold up with amazon providing it, but could if it’s not a sold feature or is provided through an OSS plugin.

The other factors are amount and nature. Since it’s the whole work that seems to go against fair use and the nature doesn’t seem to apply.

I don't see that making a difference in the by-copy/by-reference use on the leaf functions? Since the copies are stack allocated all the data used there is going to be shuffling in and out of the same few cache lines and shouldn't make a perceptible difference in overall cache usage.
Since Android v1, it offers APIs (intents) for picking items belonging to other apps or doing an action on behalf of other apps.

Applications do not need access to gallery; they can ask the gallery to let the user pick the pictures he wants to work with; the app does not need the access to camera, it can ask the default camera app to let the user make the photo and get the result. The app does not need access to telephony; it can ask dialer to dial a number on it's behalf. Etc, etc.

The developers didn't use these APIs because users were asking for iOS style integrations, where any apps does everything for itself, instead of using system components. So they got it.

>Government is a servant of big business because we allow free speech?

Well, you have to include the middle step that voters are strongly influenced by what they hear, advertising, and the like and that many voters do not do a deep amount of digging. Also you have to include the other step that there is a lot of research in marketing and psychology to sway people's reactions and opinions.

But once you combine the above, it turns out that those with control of the primary information distribution can influence public opinion. Now, they can't convince people that grass is purple and the sky is green, but they can sway public opinion. Politicians realize this and are thus swayed by those who control the information lest they make enemies who will seek to promote their opponents either in primaries or general elections (at least in the US with its government system).

>How exactly would you go about regulating speech "so that everyone gets an equal size megaphone"?

I don't have a clue, and as you suggest, such actions won't be without unforeseen consequences which could end up worse than the original problem. A few countries in the EU seem to have laws made to dampen the problem without fixing it, but the actual effectiveness of the laws is something I haven't seen any peer reviewed research on.

I'm not speaking about licenses lock-in, but about lock-in from an engineering point of view. Are you aware of any significant Qt projects that don't have "Q" all over their codebase?

(And yes, by contrast to GPL, I believe you can use LGPL libraries without suffering a terrible amount of (license) lock-in)
Ethernet PoE is nice, but USB-C I can see as the future for most power requirements both because it can carry a lot of power and it has a small form factor (Ethernet is too bulky for more and more products these days).

The biggest issue with USB-C is unfortunately the zoo of different options. Not all USB-C cables and ports support high power output and it’s not trivial to figure out what cable or port to use. So much for universal...

QEMU developer here. Some context on the impact and the security architecture of QEMU:

1. Production VMs almost exclusively use tap networking, not slirp. This CVE mostly affects users running QEMU manually for development and test VMs.

2. Slirp (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/slirp/libslirp) is part of the QEMU userspace process, which runs unprivileged and confined by SELinux when launched via libvirt. To be clear: this is not a host ring-0 exploit!

3. Getting root on the host or accessing other VMs requires further exploits to elevate privileges of the QEMU process and escape SELinux confinement.

More info on QEMU's security architecture:

I can’t reply to your last reply for some reason, so I’m replying here. I’ll read the article you linked to, but I don’t expect anything other than more econobabble and fear-mongering.

If a country’s entire economic system is based on a stupid assumption—in this case, that a sovereign nation will never default on its debt—then it ought to collapse. Still, I don’t believe that collapse would actually occur. I think that a lot of people would lose a significant amount of money and be quite upset. And then, the next day, the sun would rise, and people wouldn’t be starving in the streets, and life would generally go on.
