The other day my dad, who turned 60 last year, swore he couldn't hear a cicada that was right outside the open window. It bugged him so much he made me go outside with him and point out the cicada. I told him about the mosquito tone, which is obviously much higher, and how mostly only younger people are meant to be able to hear it and played it for him off Wikipedia. He could hear it fine and so could I (30 this year). To hell with the mosquito tone as an anti-loitering device, it's horrible.

I jokingly provided "yiff" (a furry term) and the lyrics are surprisingly on point

Verse 1
Solid as the sky, as the ground
True as the light, in the dark
If you wanna yiff tough, gotta do right
No part of the plot

Pre-Chorus
He was my brother, he was my friends
He had my beating heart even though

Chorus
We can howl a great big yiff back
More beautiful than ever before
And oh how we went reeling
Knowing all along the way you were bringing

Verse 2
He had me up against the wall
He had me up against the wall
I did not always yiff the way he would
Oooh, he had me good even though he

Pre-Chorus
I feel the wood underneath my feet
The whisper of the springs

Chorus
We can howl a great big yiff back
More beautiful than ever before
And oh how we went reeling
Knowing all along the way you were bringing

Bridge
In a place you never been
And hear the dogs yiff

Chorus
We can howl a great big yiff back
More beautiful than ever before
And oh how we went reeling
Knowing all along the way you were bringing

Yeah, that's my reading too. Getty treated this as if it were exclusive and that they were working as sole agent for the owner. They do this for lots of the things they distribute.

But PD is incidental here. Getty could have legitimately had a exclusive license and still incorrectly gone after its creator.

> Bonus points for whoever calculates the ratio of the surface areas for the two spherical caps

Hmpf, I went to all the trouble of deriving the surface area of a spherical cap (it's really easy, as surface integrals go), and it's listed right there in the wikipedia page. A = 2πrr(1 - cos φ), where φ is the angle between the center of the cap and the edge (measured from the center of the sphere).

Assumptions:

1. The "radius" of the cap is 4000 km.

2. The "radius" of the cap is actually an arclength along a great circle of a sphere (the earth).

3. The radius (a real radius) of the earth is somewhere between 6300 and 6400 km.

The formula for arclength along a circle tells us that φ is somewhere between 40/63 and 40/64.

We can calculate the cap's percentage of the surface area of the entire sphere as (1 - cos φ) / 2. For an earth-radius of 6300km, this is 9.744%. For 6400km, this is 9.452%. For the smaller earth, the ratio of the cap's outside to its inside is 9.26:1; for the larger earth, it is 9.58:1.

Rounding to two significant figures, like we used for the size of the earth, the ratio should be between 9.3:1 and 9.6:1.

The ratio isn't really very informative, because the cap was drawn around where a bunch of people live, and "everything else" wasn't. This has artifactually put most of the ocean, where people cannot live, into "everything else". "Everything else" should probably be significantly deflated to adjust for this. The article messes up a similar point:

> The population density of Greenland, for example, is just 0.1/sq. mi—that is, one person living on every ten square miles of rock and ice. But it's a lot easier to find company in Manila, which is literally one million times as crowded: 107,000 Filipinos per square mile.

The population density of Greenland is mostly zero with some spikes. There's not a literal tenth of a person every square mile -- those people would all be dead. The population density in areas where local population density is more than zero is much higher. Manila is not actually one million times as dense.
Quoted from The New York Times, Tuesday, August 4, 1998 http://www.rexswain.com/benford.html (linked in Wikipedia):

To illustrate Benford's Law, Dr. Mark J. Nigrini offered this example:
"If we think of the Dow Jones stock average as 1,000, our first digit would be 1.

"To get to a Dow Jones average with a first digit of 2, the average must increase to 2,000, and getting from 1,000 to 2,000 is a 100 percent increase.

"Let's say that the Dow goes up at a rate of about 20 percent a year. That means that it would take five years to get from 1 to 2 as a first digit.

"But suppose we start with a first digit 5. It only requires a 20 percent increase to get from 5,000 to 6,000, and that is achieved in one year.

"When the Dow reaches 9,000, it takes only an 11 percent increase and just seven months to reach the 10,000 mark, which starts with the number 1. At that point you start over with the first digit a 1, once again. Once again, you must double the number -- 10,000 -- to 20,000 before reaching 2 as the first digit.

"As you can see, the number 1 predominates at every step of the progression, as it does in logarithmic sequences."
Interesting idea, but factoring a number does not compress it - the number of digits (binary or otherwise) will stay roughly the same. You can see this using logarithms: a x b = c implies ln a + ln b = ln c. But ln x is proportional to the number of digits of x, so a and b have roughly the same length together as c.
It would more likely be fines, especially once you're big enough to pull strings.

It wouldn't be too much trouble to add "copyright checker" code to the bots that's good enough to provide a fig leaf for your defense. Automated large-scale systems make mistakes all the time, after all. Pay the fines, do the minimum work necessary to comply with the court order, rinse and repeat, and keep your PR team on standby.

Ugh. Semantic arguments. From your link:

> Palliative care can be given at the same time as treatments meant to cure or treat the disease. Palliative care may be given when the illness is diagnosed, throughout treatment, during follow-up, and at the end of life.

> Doctors can provide treatment to seriously ill patients in the hopes of a cure for as long as possible. These patients may also receive medical care for their symptoms, or palliative care, along with curative treatment.

But, this is an aside. When we're talking about any given treatment medication / treatment-- it can be a likely cure; it can halt or slow the progression of the disease itself; it can merely provide symptom relief. The latter is often called a palliative.

Rust is getting better. It recently got async/await which imo is a much cleaner and undeniably faster way to do concurrency than Go's channels/CSP. It's not really fair to compare Rust's ecosystem to Go's because Rust doesn't have a trillion dollar company's halo effect. For the foreseeable future you will always be more likely to use Go than Rust at work.
Notably, even listing the ordinal index of the prime (e.g. that a number is the product of the first, fifth, and tenth primes) takes about the same amount of space as well due to the prime number theorem.

>Google gets so many applicants it's irrelevant how counterproductive the interview process is.

It still may be relevant when you are looking for a specific domain knowledge instead of a generic "programmer". A great example is Amazon Game Studios. They employ the general Amazon hiring process from what I understand yet, as a game studio, it's a complete and utter failure. There are just few thousand experienced game programmers in the whole world and only a fraction of them wants to apply at Amazon at all for different reasons. You cull 99% of them and you are left with inexperienced people who will not be able to learn anything since there is nobody to learn from. Even if few experienced people got through or went around hiring process (e.g. celebrity programmers hired without whiteboarding) they will be in a minority and unable to mentor the rest of the studio. Google and Facebook are spinning up their own game studios and I expect the same result from them.

Why not simply monitor your web-server log? (Example: tail -f /var/logs/nginx.log) you can even code a custom bash script to filter specific pages from your server log and show that instead. Then you can see what pages users view in real-time, what they search etc...

I feel like image performance on the web is good enough at this point that folks aren’t holding back. Sites with images (Reddit, imgur, Facebook, etc) are crammed with images already.

But they behave pretty darn close to SVN branches and commits and... they're also called branches and commits. It's clear why that happened - no one would have used a weird tool which turned the old concepts on their heads, so git was being taught based on comparisons with existing tools.

Now that git's very popular, the teachers have become arrogant and are claiming that our mental models for how VCS work are wrong and we should instead adapt our thinking to the git internals. In almost all other professions a confusing tool is scorned, but only developers are expected to learn how all sorts of weird contraptions work and then anyone who can't keep up is scorned instead.

git is almost 15 years old and here we have yet another attempt at clarifying how it works to the masses. Why are there so many git GUIs and tutorials and attempts to clarify how this tool works? It's a freaking VCS, not rocket science. git took something that used to be straightforward and doable by any developer and turned it into an over-complicated mess.

Now here's a question for you: why do you defend this anti-developer tool instead of siding with fellow developers?

Putting copyright matters aside, there is an issue of misrepresentation.

A case that would be interesting would be one where Getty had represented that they were acting on behalf of an exclusive copyright holder, and where a third party had acquiesced to those demands, only to subsequently learn that Getty was not the rights holder.

This is about basic contract issues. Getty falsely represented themselves to be X, with the use of aggressive language, leading to a contract being formed based on invalid premises. If it is a pattern of practice, it starts to look like a RICO matter.

It's literally among the first words of the spec: MTA-STS was designed because providers don't want to use DNSSEC. Those aren't tea leaves I'm reading; they actually wrote it in the spec.

1. Funny, my version of the spec says something different:

The primary motivation of MTA-STS is to provide a mechanism
for domains to ensure transport security even when
deploying DNSSEC is undesirable or impractical. However,
MTA-STS is designed not to interfere with DANE deployments
when the two overlap; in particular, senders who implement
MTA-STS validation MUST NOT allow MTA-STS Policy validation
to override a failing DANE validation.

DNSSEC is a tool for centralization; it's difficult and expensive to manage, so people will pay to have Cloud Flare do it for them, and Cloud Flare knows that

The point you conveniently missed is that MTA-STS was developed to address a problem that only large, centralized email providers have. They would use DNSSEC/DANE if they could, but they can't, so they created something else that's not as good.

You also didn't address the security problems MTA-STS has, but I guess I’m not surprised.

Cloudflare and Google Cloud [1] offer DNSSEC as yet another feature for their hosting services--that's no different than any of the other technologies and services they offer. I’m sure they see providing DNSSEC as a convenience and a competitive advantage.

Saying DNSSEC is a tool for centralization because of Cloudflare is like saying email is a tool for centralization because of Gmail.

Lots of organizations that deal with domain registration, running TLD servers and other parts of the internet infrastructure are publically advocating for DNSSEC but that's mostly behind the scenes stuff: ISC, ICANN, Verisign, NANOG, etc.

As the tools mature, deploying DNSSEC-signed zones gets easier. Automatic zone signing and key rollover are built into DNS software like BIND, PowerDNS and Knot DNS [2] these days, so it doesn't have to be that big of a deal for most organizations.

It literally takes 10 minutes to enable Unbound’s (which many Linux and BSD distros ship as their default DNS resolver) DNSSEC validation feature.

You can put Unbound on a Raspberry Pi and have it be the DNSSEC validating resolver for your home network. [3]
