Here's what's bugging me: Integers are a disjoint union of values, which is (in my non-abstract-algebra mind) something different than a disjoint union of types. That is, something like Maybe Integer is a "sum type" in a completely different way from the way that Integer is a "sum type". To me, this is different enough that a different term should be used.

I'm sure you're going to tell me that I'm not thinking abstractly enough...

YouTube got in trouble because they were knowingly making money from infringing content. Viacom sued them for a billion dollars and YouTube barely won on a technicality. ContentID was a way to get copyright holders off their backs. If you're not sending internal memos about how all of your money comes from pirated blockbuster movies, the DMCA safe harbor makes things a lot easier for you as a service provider. You'll need an automated way to take down videos and forward complaints to uploaders, and an automated way for the uploader to say they're challenging the complaint. After that it's between them, and won't involve you until you get a court order when the uploader loses the lawsuit and is forced to remove the video.
> All the students I met with were surprisingly well informed about both events in the US and American history.

This is surprising to me. I imagine they read some news/propaganda about the events, rather than reading the NYTimes, WAPO, or BBC news directly. Can you comment on that?

You’re right about the concentration camps, but regarding Hong Kong US has done and is doing worse things. Sadly this is how empires work.
Because it would be copyright claimed in mass, even more so than the tracks from youtubes own media library.
I don't know about suicide or ruining their lives per-se, but people often go bankrupt from medical bullshit. Also it is quite common for people suffering from all sorts of things to wait until their minor discomforts become intolerable suffering before seeing a doctor, which is how I operate. Too many physician visits where a doctor filled out some Epic form bullshit while ignoring me and then pushing me out of their office as quickly as possible because I wasn't currently dying.
This is ludicrous. Historically, all cultures have tales and myths involving heroes and villains, including in religious texts. Is the illiad for 12 year olds? Is Arthur and the Round table (Le Mort de Arthur) or Jason and the Argonauts or the works of Ovid not stories of superheros? All cultures have had stories which have been transmitted orally, via song, via poems, via books and even gasp via comics.
Ask HN: Will California Consumer Privacy Act Kill the Newsletter?
CCPA makes a company liable for $750 per user in the event of a breach if the company has revenue of over $25M or 50,000+ users. We have a weekly newsletter with 75,000 subscribers and so I assume that if our mail provider is breached then we could be liable for $56,250,000 -- more than the Equifax.... What's everyone's plan for this?

Expect to see more of this. Other nations will innovate and keep talent around while Bay Area engineers are stuck in traffic or moving away because of bad schools and insane housing costs.
As a programmer, I am seriously curious about how these silly videos can help PRC "put Muslims into concentration camps", "take their organs" or "march troops into Hong Kong"
Ok poster.

(Easy there downvoters, I'm demonstrating why 'ok <label>' is dismissive and hostile to others by showing a similar dismissal statement.. read and see below for the argument)

Or I could respond with why I believe what the other party's response is incorrect and understand that the other party may hold conflicting beliefs. What you're stating about the beliefs held by millennials about others view them. (It may or may not be correct.. media representation of the belief is there)

Ear plugs. If you can drop the surrounding noise by 35+db, you'll notice what's tinnitus and what's ambient noise.

Funny story related to this question, one day in a conference room I thought my tinnitus was just particularly bad, until someone went and turned off some unused AV equipment. The pitch of the electronic noise was identical to my personal tinnitus (and different than someone else's - they commented that it wasn't the right pitch for them).
having a real appeals process that involves actual humans and takes into account fair use would be a good start.
oh, I understand your complaint, but also consider than a few years ago people were complaining that newer sets were "dumbed down" or "too few parts per dollar" or "using large prebuilt parts" instead of using smaller parts. In the end you can't please everybody :).
In the context of political opinions, I was thinking people like Adam Smith, Karl Marx, etc. But you're right, even those people stood on the shoulders of giants, they didn't just independently get struck by lightning one day and suddenly have ideas in a vacuum. In any case, it's not realistic to expect Joe Smith the Generic Voting Citizen to have to have completely original new opinions on all the hot-button issues.
Just to clarify, you're saying that the US is not currently in the business of assassinating high-visibility targets.

Just clarifying, because there's a history of state-sanctioned assassination attempts and plots during the Cold War.

Finding a cure or treatment for tinnitus would be awesome. I have a very mild case from a few too many loud concerts.

What I find amazing is how we don't attack the source of the problem much that I can see. Concerts, clubs, fireworks, even movies blast away above any reasonable level, causing damage to large parts of the population. We all just get progressively damaged hearing bit by bit. And yet there's very little policing of this that I have seen. It's just another form of pollution that's being imposed on people, often in public places where they haven't even had a choice (e.g., the fireworks case) or have a very poor choice (e.g., not going out with friends over this because they want to go to a rock concert).

I've had tinnitus for as long as I remember. Haven't tried this, but I've read some people have luck treating it with biofeedback.
A few days ago, I wrote about a very similar problem that I'm going through at this very moment.

Basically, I recorded myself playing a song that was written 133 years ago, whose composer died 118 years ago.

The copyright claim is that I used a melody owned by ASCAP, ICE_CS. But the melody is long in public domain. It is impossible for this melody to be copyrighted. (Also, just to cover the bases of "what if...", I want to clarify that the melody has been correctly identified as the melody written (and published) 133 years ago.)

And yet, they have claimed copyright on my music and monitized it. I, on the other hand, can't monitize it at all because my channel is very small.

This is theft.
>While thousands of American prisoners of war were awarded medals, the crew members of Pueblo did not receive them. Instead, they were classified as "detainees". It was not until Congress passed a law overturning this decision that the medals were awarded; the crew finally received the medals at San Diego in May 1990.

Any thoughts on why this was so? Why would the crew not be classified PoWs? Did the US not want to admit they were in a war with PRK or what?

What SpaceX should do is equip every satellite with a camera and lens specialized for astrophotography pointed away from Earth to the sky. Then give every one of them a unique ip address and interface that astronomers and anyone else can connect to and take pictures and videos. Some of them could even get equipped with bigger telescopes.
My close friend quit teaching because they were spending more time dealing with wild children than lecturing. Special needs children are now woven into the general school population and the burden to accommodate them is put onto the teacher, who may have little to no training on how to deal with them. Children adverse to learning will act out intentionally just to be sent to these isolation rooms; I have seen it myself. To top it off many of these children are on ADHD medication which doesn't benefit anyone either when it's fueling these outbursts.

Personally I blame the parents, and I can assure you they are more than happy to drop Billy off at school even if he gets locked in an undocumented isolation room all day because they want nothing to do with him either, leaving the teacher to become a parent as well. This is the result of poor child rearing and it has had a devastating effect on the quality of learning in public schools. If anyone should feel guilty it should be the parents, but they don't and that's the problem.

Your last comment is irrelevant to the topic and dishonest - I actually think you really don't understand the situation at all.
Based on their spelling of “armoury” they don’t seem to be American. As far as I’m aware, the only country that forbids travel to NK is America.
I went when Americans were still allowed to go, with Koryo Tours, who I'd recommend strongly. As the only way to get in is with a tour agency, it's actually a very easy trip to arrange. All you have to do is get to Beijing, the agency takes care of the rest.

That said, I wouldn't call it an easy destination while you're there, depending on your personality type. You have no freedom of movement, are pretty transparently being used for domestic propaganda purposes, and you're with your NK tour guides 100% of the time (and they're very vocal about their distaste for America/Americans, even if they're friendly to you directly). If you're the kind of person who can't follow rules, or if you get vocal/aggressive/unpredictable (particularly when drinking), it is not the destination for you. Most (but not all) of the foreigners who've been detained in NK did something dumb while there that resulted in detainment; if you can imagine yourself acting similarly dumb, don't go.

That said, I had a great time, loved the group I ended up with, and saw a part of the world that few else have. I'd go back in a heartbeat as soon as the political climate between the US/NK changes for the better.
Do you even know TikTok is not available in China? The brand was specifically created for western countries. In China the same company (ByteDance) owns a hugely popular short-video app called Douyin. These two apps do not share content for obvious reasons (yes, communist censorship and all that).

I think what boggles HN readers' mind (mine included and I'm Chinese btw), is that in a place that's purportedly Orwellian or at least bearing resemblance to it, creativity is supposed to be severely oppressed and virtually non-existent. Yet the reality is quite the opposite.
Sounds like youtube. It took years for youtube to get from cat video quality to scientific / conference videos that often are better than books / text by the name people.

I still don’t believe I would switch :)

There is nothing like this in hl1, most of the behavior is hardcoded in the game's SDK and pretty generic. I.e every breakable object has 'health', and the barrels explode when they hit 0, explosion is just an instant calculation of dmg property to distance falloff, and there is very basic "if then" scripting language that you have to configure manually. The engine is not very far from quake1 because technically it is one. Source: a former hl modder.
The Liberty is a common antisemitic talking point. It is an incident in which the Israeli military attacked and killed American troops. Both the deliberateness and the potential motive of the attack are unknown and unexplained. It doesn't take much for the conspiracy theorists to turn that into "Jews want to kill Americans".
There should be a basic law of health care: no person is liable for a debt they incurred before they were presented with the price and had an opportunity to refuse. I'd give some amount of leeway for unconscious patients, but aside from that every single penny of expense should be agreed to up front. The absence of this policy explains a lot about how things have become so perversely broken.
I imagine it's an esprit de corps goal related to the 'no man left behind' sentiment in the armed forces.
It was attacked by the Israelis, so it's used as a cause celebre by people who want to get people to question our support of Israel. This includes, but is not limited to, antisemites.
I worry about the precedents being created. There is little in the way of other companies or governments adding more to Earth’s orbit. Eventually there could be enough objects there that one single incident could cause a chain reaction and blanket Earth on debris making launches dangerous or impossible.
How is he missing the point when you're basically restating exactly what he said? They're an escapist ride, not a story of the human experience.
The amusing but strange sub-story here is the build engineer claiming that the product may never be built. That is a type of endemic first class whining the type of which I am sick, sick, sick of.
I am not familiar with France, but the first line in Wikipedia is:

"The French health care system is one of universal health care largely financed by government national health insurance."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_France

Then when I look into Switzerland, I see:

"Healthcare in Switzerland is universal and is regulated by the Swiss Federal Law on Health Insurance. There are no free state-provided health services, but private health insurance is compulsory for all persons residing in Switzerland"

I also read:

"Swiss are required to purchase basic health insurance, which covers a range of treatments detailed in the Swiss Federal Law on Health Insurance. It is therefore the same throughout the country and avoids double standards in healthcare. Insurers are required to offer this basic insurance to everyone, regardless of age or medical condition. They are not allowed to make a profit off this basic insurance, but can on supplemental plans."

"The insured person pays the insurance premium for the basic plan up to 8% of their personal income. If a premium is higher than this, the government gives the insured person a cash subsidy to pay for any additional premium."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Switzerland

---

Now let's not quibble. The core question her is, "Should basic healthcare be a marketplace?"

If basic healthcare is a marketplace, providers can charge what they like, and it's "caveat emptor" when it comes to purchasing healthcare, whether it's directly purchasing treatment, or purchasing insurance.

Here in Canada there are lots of non-basic kinds of healthcare that are a marketplace. How much does it cost to get a cortisone shot so that I can cycle? I don't know until I shop around. Same for physiotherapy, chiropractic care (is that heath care or phrenology?), dental care, orthodontics, and lots of things involving mental health.

But basic health care--for some definition of "basic"--is not a marketplace, and it is not optional whether you are covered.
We actually agree with this, we saw that inside Shopify. Bigger retailers are getting smarter about this and enforcing vendor SLAs. Meaning requirements like:

1. Accurate product listings

2. <24 hour ship times, enforced

3. No manual steps, only automated / integrated

4. Easy returns, funded by sellers

5. Sellers based in the same country

Drop ship can range from very small and generally not very durable online retailers to massive and very sophisticated retailers. In the case of the sophisticated ones, you may not even know the difference. Amazon for example has been drop shipping a lot more, but because of their vendor SLA people can't tell it's not from FBA. It's mostly just about good vendor SLAs, local suppliers and short ship times.

The other thing we're seeing is a continuum where people start out drop shipping, and then move to wholesale when the volume grows. That way 1. Consumers get access to smaller / newer brands early and then 2. Eventually the experience gets more controlled. We do both, just generally because our customers are growing but also because you really need both to make the experience good.
I thought that was called pharma marketing, not advertising. That too has had corruption and perverse incentives in the past. However, I did mean banning advertising to the general public.

Doctors have the knowledge and expertise to critically evaluate statements presented to them by marketing materials (whether they do so or not is a different story). The general public, modulo the odd autodidactic genius, largely does not. If someone from the general public wants this information, they are free to find it on the Internet. In fact maybe we could make it mandatory that any materials presented to doctors are also posted on the company's website for anyone to see.

From the UK. Health care cost stories in the US seem incredibly dreadful. Hard to grasp how a huge power like the US can't get itself around decently-priced healthcare.
It is a complete lack of empathy to ignore the fact that people learn at different paces, and in different ways. Where I struggle, others succeed and vice versa. The last thing I want to do is have an attitude of "ONLY THE HARDCORE SURVIVE" (read in a voice of an early-2000's wrestler). When we act like this we turn people off to the world of computing... But, we disagree on this - you actively want that.

We have real problems of inclusion in our industry and as someone who's been "part of the problem", I don't want to be part of the problem. "Keep the barriers high" only accomplishes isolation.

You also clearly see yourself as "hardcore". It's OK to feel confident in your respective knowledge, but I would remind you that no one knows everything. This will turn people off to you as an engineer, a colleague, etc. We should all keep our minds open by assuming the role of an everlasting learner in a field that is constantly changing and evolving - I urge everyone to stay humble.

I am sorry you feel this way, and hope you reconsider your stance.
The very concept of "traffic calming" is a lie. It's cause for road rage, distraction from watching for pedestrians, slamming brakes, and loud hard-revving engines.

One day when I had reduced ride height due to a tire issue, a "traffic calming" device cracked my oil pan. That was just great for the environment. I leaked carcinogenic used oil all along the way, and then had to get the oil pan replaced. The creation of that new oil pan involved industrial activity that surely was not good for the environment.

The population who ditches them might also be skewed towards developers, which might mean that less people are hacking on the Fitbit SDK which could hurt their ecosystem. Apple has tried to court developers for this reason. Losing a piece of that market might be more hurtful to a company than losing a similar absolute number of the general population.

If only JS had better multithreading shared memory capabilities it would be perfect for me. But just with fixed length array buffers limited to numbers I can't do much. I tried regular IPC instead but there's too much latency. It is a huge shame.
I was thinking similarly, but a bit more destructive - it would be an interesting exercise to plan a fire mission that would scuttle the ship to retire it from active service while not damaging the museum around it.

Always interesting to be reminded of all of these incidents from past operations.
