> Note that 'soixante dix' is 6A, not 70.

"Soixante-dix" would be 70 no matter how you look at it, and 0x6A is obviously "cent six".

That's why you need a new suffix as well as new names for exponentials instead of trying to retrofit existing number-naming convention. (Same thing is true for English as well)

So let this new hexadecimal suffix would be -anze, 16 ^ 3 is hexmille, 16 ^ 2 is hexcents,

0xB78D = 46989 would be "onze hexmille sept hexcents huitanze treize." or "quarante six mille neuf cents quatre-vingt neuf"

This is not incompatible with the transcription+native (if any) approach: these researchers will most likely have papers or website with their name in their native language, while descendants of immigrants don’t.

Following your example, Kawarabayashi’s original name can be found in few seconds of googling. It is 河原林 健一. (https://www.jst.go.jp/pr/info/info915/shiryo2.html)
I think the first is what happened before this new feature (lazy loading) was implemented.
The Google Contributor that launched was very neutered from what was originally proposed internally. It wasn't a real effort to solve the problem; it was effectively a deliberate failure they could present to justify the status quo.
That is a good idea but would people really want to leave the site to open their email client and make a comment?

I had once thought about a different approach - Creating a Google form (for each blog post) and then embedding it on the blog post. Then whenever anyone submits a comment via the form, it would get saved to a Google spreadsheet(this needs to be made publicly readable). The unwanted comments can just be deleted from the spreadsheet. The contents of this spreadsheet can then be obtained in a JSON format and displayed on the blog post using Javascript.
>not trying to make money

Generally agree with what you wrote. Money isn't the central question though. Something like fanfic distributed for free can still be infringing.
> I think from a practical perspective the biggest advantage of the European system is that every household gets three phases. This is I guess likely the reason you have many more gas stoves in the US than in Europe where you can easily install a high power electric/induction stove instead.

Why would you prefer an electric stove over a gas stove though? I was under the impression that many places in Europe did not use gas in the home because there was no abundance of natural gas and no easy means of distributing it.

At least in rural Greece in the mountains, my theory makes sense and most people will haul propane for home use. Even in America in more rural places many homes have external propane tanks for heating and cooking.

EDIT: really unclear why this was downvoted. Because I asked about the use case for electrical stoves?
I'd really like that despite Intel being in the driver's seat again - because I honestly don't see where single core performance is going to come from in the future. IPC increased because the CPUs used the inherent possible parallelism in normal code where often calculations don't depend on the value of the previous calculation. But now it seems to me like we're pretty much at the limit of that, adding more integer units/prefetchers/etc. isn't going to give us the growth we're used to. Cache is something with a decent amount of potential, but once that is gone, what are they going to do?

>Gas guzzling SUVs are bad for the environment, but do not support your point.

For one, they're a sign that people are probably living beyond their means, buying things they don't need.

>Gas is cheap in the US so 20,000 annual miles of driving at 20mpg is only ~$2500 for the year.

That's a conservative mileage estimate. There's lots of commuters who drive quite a bit more than that. And gas is only cheap right now; earlier this decade it shot up to about $4/gallon for a while. I've seen this many times with Americans: gas hits a local minimum, so they all run out and buy enormous SUVs. Then gas prices go up, and they all whine about how much they're paying for gas, so they trade in their SUVs for smaller vehicles. Then gas prices go down again and they all run out and buy big SUVs again. It's idiotic.

>You aren't permitted to manually copy a book to notepaper, either.

Do you have any case law dealing with personal use copies only? In my mind it is like copying an mp3 file. I can make as many copies all over my harddrives as I care. It is only when I share those copies with others it becomes an issue.

>The whole point of copyrights are, after all, to manage the rights to copy.

While it is named copyright, generally they are applied to distributing copies, not the actual creation of copies. For example, anytime I make a backup of my computer I make copies of all data on it, including many I have no copyrights to. It only would be an issue when I started sharing/selling those copies.
The idea that Rust has the potential to produce faster binaries than C/C++ comes, I guess, mainly from the fact that (once the bugs in LLVM have been fixed) Rust will be able to apply restrict/noalias very liberally to the generated IR, facilitating optimizations by the compiler backend which are not possible in your usual C/C++ codebase.

But yes, in this case it probably came down to some more obvious cause like a wildly different compiler.
DMCA as intended would be better here. The person who thinks they found something infringing should have to proactively send a takedown, which should trigger a process that can be appealed. What Google has created is a proactive automated takedown system with minimal recourse.
Yeah not sure what the problem is. Google "download java" and this is the first link.
A Camry at 5 years needs none of that. Plugs last until 120k, fuel filter might actually be lifetime, chain drive timing, which is recommended change at 100k but most people don't, because most people who own Toyotas don't do maintenance, air filter should be every 20kish, but won't hurt the average car too much to go 120k.
I'm not sure I agree with inflammatory. It seems that the common attribute between the two materials is that it is based on the same 200 year old composition and not much else. Like if IT takes your keyboard and gives it to someone else because they are the same keyboard. Completely missing subtle differences like the serial number or the fact that on one the space is worn out and on the other the tab key.

Funny, but I bounced off of Pipedrive.com pretty quick. Why should I trust a product if they are too afraid to show me meaningful screenshots? They have more detail in the dinky little videos, but I don't want to just sit there for a few minutes just for a chance to see something slightly real.

The Wobaka "screenshots" are also obviously fake, but there is enough detail that they still give me a clear idea of what the intention is.
This is a case of particularly bad reporting. These cases are all related not to nicotine but to THC and other drugs being tainted.

My (perhaps naive) understanding is that, for Spectre to be truly exploitable, an attacker must be able to execute code locally (I know of the JS POC but there are browser mitigations). But if an attacker has an account in my system I'm already screwed anyway, as there are probably other privilege escalation vectors that are easier to exploit.

My laptop is not high-value so I'd rather just disable that stuff. I once timed a C++ build, with and without Spectre mitigations, and the difference was something like 20%.
Is there an oven included in that power consumption for a stove? I can set my plates by wattages, and I rarely need more than 1kW for one plate, and never exceed 3.7 for all 4.

That's an unreasonable, excessive use of defensive programming.

We're not talking about an unstable API here, we're talking about an operator.

It would be just as unreasonable to "defend" your code against `1 + 1` suddenly returning a boolean rather than a number.
Legally, I suspect both cases would be handled the same. Real time speech to text for private use should be legal.

However, Audible has to license content from copyright holders, which gives copyright holders a certain amount of power over Audible to force them to not offer such a feature, independent of the legality.
The big problem with classical music is that the compositions are all in public domain, however most performances are not. Given the subtle differences between performances, algorithms are not smart enough to figure out the difference. In fact, even humans would have a hard time to distinguish between two performances of certain classical pieces.

When I was looking at diamond rings the synthetics available to me were at a high cost, not much less than a "traditional" diamond. Same goes for alternate stones such as Moissanite which HackerNews has discussed below. So, not being pro-diamond here, but simply stating it looks like marketing has brought up the prices of these alternate methods too.

I couldn't disagree more. Literally no one has a problem pronouncing yet another great Czech: Dvořák. And I defy you to turn that into a phonetical spelling that isn't a abomination upon church and Christ.

We shouldn't be afraid of asking too much of people in regards to other cultures and languages. We humans are more intelligent than you're giving us credit for.
Gas has an advantage against traditional stoves with a resistive element that heats up from electricity, that you place the pan/pot on. It has a disadvantage against modern inductive stoves, where there is a coil in the stove that directly inductively heats the pan/pot.

The only disadvantage is that you need to use a pan/pot with a large ferrous bottom for best effect, but it's well worth it. Lag from changing heating setting is similar to gas, but the big advantage (aside from safety) is that the stovetop is typically just a large panel of glass. Super easy and nice to keep clean.
The usual canard is:

Google is a private Corp and can do whatever the hell they want.

The real problem is that tech companies are monopolies and oligopolies and they hide behind "The people can just leave if they want".

The end result is that monopolies beget and work with other monopolies to strengthen each other. So we see YouTube working with RIAA and MPAA on non-DMCA underhandedness and what is clearly fair use (car driving by with 2s of a tune).

Those 50% soon change into the .1% and with a democratic process you find folks like cambridge analytica who learn how to use propaganda to manipulate the masses.

I think it is the difference between offering the service of scanning and rebinding and offering the service of selling a scanning and rebinding machine. If I buy the machine, then I'm free to use it to make my own copies.

I mentioned in another post, my understanding is the AI is running on the users machine (given neural networks are cheap to run and expensive to train, it seems plausible the phone is capable of running it). If I'm wrong then my comments don't apply and the issue is more convoluted (I would almost agree it isn't legal in such a case, but I would first have to see about some case law to what I think of as equivalent services, such as online backups/storage/vcr to dvd services).
This is annoying. https://java.com/en/download/ will give you the download without signing in. But if you happen to be directed to https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/ instead, say through a google search (which is the top search result on Google for me), you have to login.

I think the real problem is no one (or not enough people) want to pay for a service that hosts user uploaded video, filters each and every one accurately for illegal/copyrighted content, and then is able to serve it worldwide 24/7 instantaneously.

That’s the reason I think no alternative service has sprouted up.
> I do, weirdly, feel a little like you're not applying the principle of charity to me though.

Fair enough, we can all be guilty of that. What part of your argument have I misunderstood or misrepresented?

I clicked because you said that you made something I'll "enjoy using." It made me interested to see what a CRM is.

Maybe you don't need to spell it out for your target market, but I think it would still be nice to establish the acronym for unfamiliar guests.

One thing to keep in mind is that the rights that the publishers are exercising here are the same rights initially possessed by the writer, before they transfer them to the publisher. So it's about the publishers, yes, but before that it's about protecting the creators.

> I get why the audiobook is more. I'm paying for the author's story + actor. But I never understood why once I have the audiobook I could not be allowed the text version for free.

The audiobook isn't just "more", it's technically a separate work altogether. The audiobook producer will acquire a license to use the book in its own work. Presumably the consideration for the license is either straight up cash or some cut of the profits from the sales of the audiobook, or some combination of the two.

But copyright is not just one right, it's a bundle of rights. And most likely, when the publisher licenses use of the book for creation of the audiobook, they are (probably explicitly) not also licensing rights of distribution of the text of the book. So disseminating the text of the original work would be a violation of the publisher's rights.
Sadly, it takes a week after an internet outrage storm until serious journalists get the fact check article finished.
YouTube seems to be taking the brunt of the criticism when it's the repercussions of copyright infringement lawsuits that are the problem.

I'm sure YouTube would love to be more lenient. If they could say "anything goes" they'd be thrilled, but we know they cannot because of the LAWS that are protecting IP owners.

IP should be protected, but to what extent?

And the bigger problem is the amount, and rate, of which content being produced threatens everyone's ability to do anything!

Try naming a business. NOTHING is available. If you want to run a competing business in a saturated market, the naming options are almost non-existent, especially if you want to name your company something that embodies what your business does.

Music is having this problem too. When you can take a few stanzas and say you OWN that music, could someone not just use a computer to generate every possible sequence of notes, slap a copyright on it, and own all future music?

Photography, video, games, puzzles, speeches, books..... it's all about to hit a brick wall if we can't be more lenient with IP.

In my opinion, complete works should be awarded a copyright, but sub-sections of works should not.

And software patents..... dear god.
That depends on the interest rate, I usually qualify for near zero rates, my last loan was something like 0.9%. When an index fund can return more than 5% in recent years it makes more sense to finance the car and leave the cash in the market. I can't think of a situation where the cost of ownership isn't considered, you should always consider what it costs to own any object. Even the ultra-rich will shy away from vehicles due to running costs, re: Bugatti tire change cost.

Eventually, I intend to add things automated 'related posts' list generation, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

It should be noted that the author is Matt Dillon of Dragonflybsd fame.

I'll repost a previous post I made

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15484735
------

To also give context as to what Dragonfly BSD is, DragonFly BSD was forked from FreeBSD 4.8 in June of 2003, by Matthew Dillon over a differing of opinion on how to handle SMP support in FreeBSD. Dragonfly is generally consider as having a much simpler (and cleaning) implementation of SMP which has allowed the core team to more easily maintain SMP support; yet without sacrificing performance (numerous benchmarks demonstrate that Dragonfly is even more performant than FreeBSD [5]).

The core team of Dragonfly developers is small but extremely talented (e.g. they have frequently found hardware bugs in Intel/AMD that no one else has found in the Linux/BSD community [6]). They strive for correctness of code, ease of maintainability (e.g. only support x86 architecture, design decisions, etc.) and performance as project goals.

If you haven't already looked at Dragonfly, I highly recommend you to do so.

It's ironic that a system of rules (DMCA) that was designed to help performers not lose revenue is actually causing a performer to lose revenue. Rousseau is one of the most recognised pianists on YouTube. He works tirelessly to perform a new piece about every week. This must be incredibly tiring, and the skill required to be able to do that week in, week out, is absolutely breathtaking.

If anyone deserves to be made the poster child for the damage the DMCA and YouTube content ID is causing, it is Rousseau.

And how is it that an hour after this is reported, the problem still persists!? A million people are missing scheduled content. If this happened to a television station as often as it happens to YouTube there would be widespread, vocal, public complaints. Their competitors would also be having a field day.
