I'm not quite following wrt the phone book/ house / phone number / address.

Per wikipedia[1] copywrite is on "the original expression of an idea in the form of a creative work".

The bust is that expression, the scan is a copy of that and therefore subject to the same copyright as the bust itself (in this case, no copyright).

For a house, I suppose the original expression would be the architect's plans, the house itself is a performance of that expression (when you commission plans from architects part of the terms are under what conditions you can build according to those plans; where I'm from standard terms are for a single performance, at the site the plans were originally commissioned for).

A photo of the house (partially) copies the house which (partially) copies the plans, therefore the photo is subject to the same copyright as the plans (depending on what the jurisdiction says about photos of things in public space). However, a photo may also contain creative expression in the framing, lighting, etc, and is therefore also subject to its own copyright. So to distribute the photo you need permission to distribute this original expression, plus permission to distribute the underlying expression. The more concrete example of this is with models -- advertisers need permission from both the photographer and the model being depicted in the photograph.

There's no creative expression in a phone number or an address, so copyright doesn't apply. Even if there were, there are usually exceptions to enable interoperation (AFAIK Oracle including a poem as part of the database wire protocol[2] hasn't been tested in court, but it's basically the same thing as in Sega vs Accolade[3], which didn't go well for Sega).

I hope something in there answered your question.

Again I'm not a lawyer, this is my understanding from my past work both as a photographer in my own name (i.e. I own the copyrights) and doing work-for-hire. And more recently contracting with architects and arguing over the terms.

I agree with your sentiment, but I am curious what the real-life tradeoffs would be?

For example, what would happen to a distributed wikipedia in relation to say maps and borders or other controversial subjects like trump, scientology or vaccinations?

Maybe these are the same questions people had when wikipedia first started in relation to traditional encyclopedias, and we already have the answers?

I think spicy food (as in, more Scovilles) is an obvious analogue there too.

That's called business competition. Should startups shut down because a bigger company might be selling the same thing?

There's no expectation of contribution with open-source software and the vast majority of users don't add anything. That's how it goes. If you don't want to give it away, then simply don't give it away.

DB vendors earn revenue by charging for features, support and services, just like AWS. There's nothing stopping them from selling proprietary closed-source products and I can name dozens that are doing well.

Presumably the "not a security issue" is implying that it's not being sent off device - I could imagine things pre-caching location info (does photo location have a switch? opening maps to correct location?).

The problem with arbitrary apps having access to location info is the hell bent desire to steal/monetize that location by sending it to their servers. My assumption is that the location indicator has no way to distinguish between "safe system use vs anything else", because people inevitably find a why to exploit any OS "cleverness" to hide malicious behavior.

You will need very powerful hardware to deploy the deep learning models on-prem for incremental learning.

This isn't true.

I've build (neural-network) vector based search extensions for search. You don't train the model - you use a pretrained model (that understands English in your domain) and then use it as an encoder.

Sometimes there is once-off pretraining process for domain adaptation, but honestly this isn't a big deal. Even on a CPU based machine you could do this overnight or over a weekend, and since it is once off that time doesn't really matter.

I was also working under the assumption that diversity was important, or, at least, that a bias is bad.

I don’t see any conflict between this and the list of options that I listed.

If the latter, why are you refusing to pick one?

Do you think that the list isn’t logically valid?

Of course traditional colo and rental VM hosting have outages. That's literally why I said, multiple times, if you want actual HA, you need to be using multiple vendors, regardless of what that vendor provides you - whether it's bare racks or a web GUI to "push a button to make it go now". I didn't explicitly state it, but I kind of assumed you'd realise that means different vendors in different physical DCs/locations.

Complaining to me that using basic VMs in a "cloud" service is more expensive, is like complaining to a duck that water is wet. No shit, EC2 is more expensive than even a regular rented VPS/VM service from a more 'traditional' hosting service, and much more expensive than either renting or owning physical gear in a rack.

I didn't suggest you use EC2 or AWS at all - but just because you use self-managed services doesn't mean you can't take advantage of the one thing a "cloud" service offers which traditional VM hosting doesn't: essentially instant spin up and time usage billing.

If you want to split your workload across two or three cloud providers, and run resources split such that you have just slightly more than 100% of the resources you need for regular operations, and then when (not if) one of those providers has an outage, you increase the capacity at the other provider(s) to handle the increased load it'll handle.

I'm not even going to dignify the "we don't need infra people" comment because it's not even a bad joke any more, it's more like a warning of management who have no fucking idea what is involved.

I don't know what motivations each company has when deciding what technologies they should use. But if you're suggesting that companies don't ever make bad choices because of (a) uninformed/misinformed management decisions, or (b) short sightedness, I'll kindly suggest you're either being very sarcastic, or you're very naive.

You play the usual card of nuke proponent, which is to describe things just as if not emitting carbon during energy production implies nukes. This is not true. Many renewables, mainly wind and solar, are pertinent. This is absolutely not a "coal or nuke, there is no other option" challenge.

Nuke proponents also tend to imply that a 100% nuke-generated gridpower will solve the carbon problem. This is not realistic, as gridpower-related CO2 emission are at max 25%, and more realistically about 17%, of the total emissions.

France gridpower production is way more decarbonized than Germany's, Germany is a more heavy player on many fuel-consuming industries (chemical, mechanics, material...), Germany climate implies more heating and France is the leader when it comes to electric heating systems... therefore one may think that Germany's carbon dioxide emissions per capita are way, way superior to France's.

They aren't!

I've been using this for a few days now on my own blog [1], but so far it isn't "catching on". That is to say, the revenue I seem to be making from a donation system like this is still many times smaller than a traditional advertising system or promotion of reflink services.

This isn't an issue with Buy Me a Coffee, I think it's a fundamental issue with how we perceive value of things we read & ingest online. It's hardly ever apparent how much time the author spent on a piece and the consumption of it might only take 2 minutes. Most people don't value online content to be valuable - after all, anyone can do it - right?

In my case, with ~10.000 pageviews/day (mostly helpdesk-style articles) I get about 1 coffee donation per day. Detract any costs by CC processor and the service itself, and what's left is about 0.70€ (that's 70 cents).

Nope, the RDS instances cost quite a bit more. For example, in us-east-1, an unreserved t3.micro costs $91.104000 a year but a Postgres t3.micro costs $157.680000 a year. That particular RDS instance does not include any storage, you pay as you go with EBS.

For the m4 series, RDS is almost double the instance cost.
>>>And I think I can't get that primarily because men basically are nice to women when they are looking for sex and that's pretty much it. And they actively avoid being too nice to any woman they aren't trying to sleep with for fear of it having some kind of negative outcome, such as an unintended affair or career-damaging gossip.

You're not wrong....but I'm in no way, shape, or form surprised by this gender dynamic. Although I think the "career-damaging gossip" is a fairly recent phenomenon. Enough men have had their lives destroyed by either awkward romantic attempts on their part or flat-out lies on a woman's part that guys have reacted in an entirely rational manner by simply avoiding females. The assumption is that there is NO professional benefit to the guy that is worth the risk.

My (totally unsolicited) ¥2 is you probably need to overcome that assumption very early in any conversation if you expect assistance.

When I was in the military I met a lot of people who did what I thought was financially stupid things such as take out large loans to go on vacation, go into overdraft in order to buy cigarettes and soda, and not answer when the bank calls because it makes them anxious. I feel like this charity can, rather than simply give them money or a product, give them the ability to not need the charity anymore.

Aurora is a binary compatible (Mysql, PG) API over an internal AWS infra/storage layer that provides cross-AZ redundancy and transparent scaling. Storage is replicated 6 ways across 3 AZs. You still need to define the "compute" component as an EC2 instance, but storage is not via EBS. Read replicas are compute only, storage is shared. Backups are continuous to S3.

RDS is a managed database "cluster" (in the PG sense of the word) running on EC2 infra. You need to define both compute and storage. Backups are snapshots, not PIT. Replicas are via the standard DB engine replication,

> Girls’ comparative advantage in reading can largely explain the STEM gender gap

It can't explain why math-intensive fields like biochemistry are not male dominated (with roughly equal distribution between genders for degrees), but the less-math-intensive, more-human-interaction centered people management positions in those fields are disproportionately (given the total population of the fields) male.

ppm (phenol parts per million) is usually a reference to a "pre-distillation measurement" though, not the resultant distillate or the final aged product. Different run cut points (head/tails) heavily impact the amount of peat flavors that make it into the final distillate, as well as age (barrel time), cask activity, and.. probably barrel char too?

So while there is of course a rough correlation with ppm to final "peatiness", some scotches with slightly higher initial ppm may not end up tasting quite as "peaty" as some with slightly lower initial ppm may.

It does seem like PPM is being used "as marketing" in a few places these days though, which is probably to your point, and possibly a sign of things to come. :/

A more common thing I see/hear is people bragging about scotch age and price. Older is not always better! Too old, and you can certainly lose some delightful peat characteristics present in younger ages, or get too much cask influence.

Nope, it became one when it was clear that too many incidents were impeding industrial production.

The WP article states it clearly: it "was a nuclear power station prototype", it means that there was hope to decline it, not that it was a lab. It was a "1,242 MWe" reactor, which sort of lab uses such a monster?

It was meant to be "an economical generator of power on its own."

As for its success: "Construction began in 1974 but suffered from a series of cost overruns, delays and enormous public protests.", and it "demonstrated very poor reliability and had a historical capacity factor of less than 7%." (after being connected to the grid for 20+ years).

The nuke industry claims that it was dumped for political reasons, completely ignoring its industrial and technical failures.

> If the percentage of female computer science graduates (as a strong proxy for the available candidate population)

I don't see why one would assume that gender distribution of CS degree holders is a strong proxy for the gender distribution of available candidates suitable for software development positions. Its true that many big firms (and even a large number of small firms) have a well-known strong bias for CS degree holders (and for CS degree holders from particular elite institutions), but the statistics of the field as a whole, and of CS degree holders, show that that is a bias inconsistent with the real qualifications for the field which cannot avoid exaggerating the gender gap in the field.

> A while back, I did rough envelope calculations that if one of the major FAANG companies hit their diversity goal, there would be none left for any of the rest of them.

That only makes sense if you assume that none of the meeting the target was done by bringing people into the field that otherwise would not be in it, despite the fact that that is typically a focus of such efforts by large firms.

To add to that, as cities benefit from close proximity to food and often came to be a city because they acted as ports for food distribution, cities tend to spring up on what was arable land, further destroying insect habitats and bringing that light pollution to the areas (possibly) best suited for insects.

Although I'm not sure I entirely agree with your premise. As a Canadian, the lands on the Canadian Shield (a rock formation that spans across most of Canada's north) are famous for their dense insect population. The rock does not make agriculture viable there at all, but it is a great place to be an insect.
