Fortnite 2.57 Full Patch Notes with Chapter 2 Season 2 Released
This has been my understanding for many years. And so it's ironic how increased moderation to increase marketability brings immunity of service providers under 230 into question.

It's almost like 230 has been a bait and switch ploy. With 230, mega social media corps developed, with nothing else to protect them against liability.

But instead, we could have had decentralized systems that made liability impossible. And if stuff like this goes forward, maybe we can. Someday, anyway.
If the full images are large, and you have a number of them on the page (a gallery age for instance) some will remain empty boxes until others are completely loaded, as the browser limits the number of concurrent connections to each host.

IIRC the limit is most commonly 6. So if you have 7 or more images the 7th will not even partially download until the 1st has downloaded in full.

With this method, the small blurred images will load before any of the larger ones so you should see them all relatively immediately, absolutely immediately if encoded in the HTTP stream as data rather than being retrieved with an extra HTTP request, before any of the larger images start to transfer.
Thanks! I never heard of this course, looks good~~

I have a box with 128 gigs of ECC RAM and I see a handful of corrected bit flips every year. Ain't no myth, just gonna be a crapshoot where those bits fall and what effect they have.
Coronavirus isn't like the flu in this regard, and is actually less severe the younger you are, including children.

No one under 10 has died from it, and only one person under 20. The mortality rate for people under 50 is about .2% (compared to 2.3% for all cases).

So far it's basically a logarithmic function of age.

The lung damage piece is obviously frightening, and we obviously still have a lot to learn about it as we're not sure why children are able to fend it off so easily yet.
That all sounds nice but what does it mean? What knowledge do they have that common carriers don’t? Responsible for what to what degree? What is a reasonable process and what does that look like?

These kinds of generalities and hand waving doesn’t really get us very far.
Seems like it would. Which, maybe isn’t a horrible thing, considering it would prevent a company like Amazon from just nuking a vendor like Mongo by cloning their tech and offering it in their PaaS. I would hope that we end up with something more like FRAND rules than conventional copyrights, though.

It's because it's all lies. One day 1 he lied about the size of his inauguration crowd and that set the stage. A person willing to lie about the most meaningless things will definitely lie about the meaningful ones.

I don't even know why I'm responding to this. I'm tired of the lying, but moreover I'm tired of people pretending that he doesn't lie constantly and egregiously about everything. I'm tired of people arguing in good faith against verifiable falsehoods, when there's no return of faith in the discussion. You can't "gotcha" him or his followers. It doesn't matter to them.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

The U.S. Supreme Court has accepted the notion of corporate personhood in constitutional cases dating back more than a century. In its 1897 decision in Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad Company v. Ellis, for example, the Court said that it was “well-settled that corporations are persons within the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Corporate “personhood” goes back even further, to at least 1819 with the Dartmouth v Woodward decision.

Citizens United has been surrounded by ignorance, promoted by newspapers who, incidentally, had their effectiveness and power reduced since they were no longer the only “protected” gatekeepers for picking political candidates.

Why should the New York Times editorial board get to express their opinions through millions of printed papers distributed through an expensive and vast logistics network, or via a website maintained by hired employees with a budget of millions per year?

Why shouldn’t Bob’s Hardware Inc., be able to also spend money, in exactly the same way as the New York Times to spread the message of their preferred political candidates that would be helpful for their business? How is Bob’s Hardware any less entitled to being able to express their opinions or present their facts than the N.Y. Times? Should the EFF be able to spend money at the same levels as what the New York Times spends to cut down trees and print some words on it and then send those words to readers all over the world? Media organizations can spend limitless amounts on getting their message out — Bob’s Hardware ought to have the same rights.

The First Amendment doesn’t protect newspapers as a special class — it protects everyone. The “press” is referring to the actual machine used to print things, not specifically to a news gathering organization.

I have no idea what Barr's exact problem is he's trying to solve? And if I run a web forum/mailing list/etc. I am now liable for anything users say on these services?

It seems like he's unhappy that facebook/google/et al. are shaping (or trying to shape) a narrative... I mean, he's not wrong. But everyone is: businesses, politicians, cia, hacker news.

Opening up people to easier liability for running a web forum, just means fewer will be able to provide this type of service; not to mention, this favors those with lots of money and time to spend on a lawsuit of such nature e.g. the gov't and large businesses... hmmm, maybe that's the point, only the gov't and monied interests should shape the narrative.

Of course they do. Some might point to Larry Ellison being a major supporter [1] but I think the real motivation is this plays into the narrative that Google is somehow biased against conservatives.

What's interesting about this is Google made two huge mistakes here:

1. According to Google, Sun was fine with their use of Java. If so, why not just put it in writing and get a license? This might've only cost $10 million at the time. Maybe not even that. Even if it was $100 million, it sure looks cheap now;

Remember, Microsoft originally paid for a Java license for IE [2]. And one issue with the Sun-Microsoft lawsuit was that Sun argued forking Java was a breach of contract. Surely this establishes that even if Sun were fine with Android they could try and enforce their IP rights through litigation. So why not enshrine this in a license?

2. Google declined to bid on Sun. I remember when this went down and it seemed risky to let Oracle control Java given how invested Google was in Java at that point. And it should've been clear that Oracle's interest was to leverage Sun's IP to get a slice of Android. Hubris is the only thing I can think of that justified letting this happen.

Ask HN: Is there codegen framework for business logic?
I have been working on a big project for quite some time now and I am finding myself rewriting and optimizing/duplicating the code quite often and not finishing the damn thing as a whole(this is not just the programmer's strive for perfection but the mostly sheer size of the project). And I am getting really tired of writing the same stuff over and over again. I work with Go which does not have generics but I would not say that is the issue here(I actually do not miss generics, maybe once or twice a year tbh).

In essence, over the years, I grew tired of writing so much code. It's not that I do no like writing code, it's just that I clearly see how much code I need to write in order to implement the business logic. And I'm just tired of it.

So I want to create a code generator that would take my business logic and generate the full implementation out of it so I can truly focus only on that and not the code itself. I have wrote code generators before, usually for event-sourcing stuff and repositories(db), so this is nothing new. But I am after more abstraction, less time spent writing code, more time spend developing the application as a whole. Imagine something like terraform but not for infrastructure but for the code.

So before I attempt to write something on this scale I was wondering if maybe there already is something out there?

Bitcoin is also valuable because the rules of the system are transparent. The rules of the system cannot easily be changed without a majority concensus.

In regard to censorship resistance that becomes somewhat of a struggle because Bitcoin transactions aren't truly anonymous and now there are various companies working to deanonymize users. This means you can still be persecuted for your bitcoin activity. I've been shifting towards privacy coins like monero for this very reason.
Just pointing out that MTA-STS doesn’t mitigate downgrade attacks and that DNSSEC/DANE does: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7672.html#section-1.3.1

And right from the MTA-STS RFC: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8461.html#section-2

the mechanism described here instead relies on certification authorities (CAs) and does not require DNSSEC, at a cost of risking malicious downgrades.

So there’s that.

I expect they do. It might just be that people aren't often encoding JPEGs such that they can take advantage of the support (or that your link is generally fast enough that you don't see an intermediate render of the data).
> you cannot use these hash strings as filenames because they can have disallowed characters.

You can't really use them as filenames because they won't be collision free, too. They're not meant to be an identifier, but instead a compact representation of the image that can be stored in a database.

How is Fuchsia relevant to Java API Oracle is chasing them for? Google's back up plan is Kotlin anyway; they can push new version of API that completely severs backward compatibility while providing some library for "legacy app API translation".
It is what enables you to sign a contract with a company, for example.

We'd be better off if we couldn't do this. Predatory credit would disappear.
Cli is still UI. "You shouldn't have to explain it" is relevant for the audience you target. For example a cli program should have a help flag like -h or --help, if you do --options that would be bad UI. If you have dedicated buttons in your UI for complex functions targeting advanced users, the labelig, icons and coloring should make their impact and current state very obvious to the user. You shouldn't come up with complex terms and custom icons no one else undetstands,etc... It does not mean water down the UI so everyone can understand it. Just like jokes you have to be relevant to the context of your audience.
SEEKING FREELANCER. Looking for Figma/Sketch Tutor – Short Term
SEEKING FREELANCER. Louisville, Ky. Prefer local, or within 50-100 miles. I'm working on a web app project, and looking for a tutor for creating the Mockup/Wireframe. I'm looking to sit/work with someone to quickly put together the structure for the Mockup using Figma/Sketch. Some other online tool might be useful as well.

I'm thinking the whole process should take 3-4 hours, but we can discuss to work out the scope.

Once the Mockup/Wireframe is defined, I'll work on building out the entire app to be pushed into production.

The webapp is intended to be a combination viral/membership/social network kind of function, allowing me to test out a cheap textbook concept for the US college market. The idea is to replicate the "Prelaunchr/Harry's" kind of app to see how fast/quickly the concept will expand within 30-60 days.

Skills I'm looking for:

• Figma/Sketch

Other nice to haves:
• Python
• React, Angular
• PHP/MySQL

If you're interested, get back to me with the rate/hours free: usc_dog@yahoo.com

Britain already adopted GDPR-based data protection law. If anything, Brexit will tighten the situation by requiring the data of British to stay in Britain.
Yup, people tend to confuse concepts and refer to synthetic data as anonymised data. They are very different things.

Anonymised data or redacted data are transformations of a data set that _hopes_ not to leak too much PII / sensitive data. People don’t use ML to anonymise but they do use ML to classify as a first step before splatting or generalising.

In that case, its absolutely right that the ML classifier not being 100% results in PII leaking.

This is a key reason why anonymisation and redaction are widely seen as problematic and are being replaced by synthetic data and, maybe in future, homomorphic encryption.
Exactly: it's all about money, and also individual consequences to HR staff themselves. If the company stood to lose lots of money to bad behavior, then they would police it much better. But they don't, so they don't. Instead, it would be hazardous to their own careers if they disciplined or canned people that the upper management favored (due to cronyism), so they protect those people as long as it doesn't cost the company too much.

People really need to get past this idea that HR is there to protect employees. They are NOT your friends.
Look... if platforms become responsible for content published on them, it is the end of free speech? Period. You want THIS?!

The point would be to limit/regulate targeting: either (a) they're a no-login and no-user-personalization place, and they do no targeting everyone gets a random sample from the same content (I'd really prefer this!), or (b) it needs to be very clear what kind of targeting is allowed... and the line gets very blurry here, amplifying hate speech for clicks and eyeballs can probably pay well and there need to be ways to solve this problem...
Totally get it, and agree (and I have started building it - I am always down for a new fun, exciting side project).

But this one feels different... and no it's not 'tinder for job search', I was just trying to use something to compare my idea market/space, etc without giving away anything (I'm paranoid that way).

I have bootstrapped a few apps... most notably a signup system to manage pick-up hockey games... I knew writing it it was a niche 'product' and didn't expect to make any money off of it and mostly just wanted it to cure a bunch of personal pain points of running pick-up/drop-in hockey games. Truthfully I thought I could get rinks to adopt it but after meeting with 3 rinks all owned by local muni's that idea fizzled out quickly. I did get one privately owned rink to use it (and they still do and love it), so it's fine, I make a little off it every few months (like 50-100 bucks) and it made/makes running my skates a breeze so all good.

Which is why I am trying to avoid that same fate... aka if I bootstrap this idea, there is no way I'm going to be able to get the level of users to compete with a Linked-In or a Tinder. To me that requires something like Ycombinator getting onboard and throwing their weight and resources behind it.

So I guess I'm saying I am pretty realistic about this idea... it's not a rink management or drop-in/pick-up management type thing that is very limited in the scope/scale. That idea never had the potential of truly blowing up.

This idea is more like a linked-in, tinder, facebook, instagram, giant, massive, holy fuck type of idea... and yeah ideas are a dime a dozen, but to me that's only true when that idea is coming from a friend, an uncle, a buddies wife... aka someone that doesn't really know how to qualify an idea like this.

I think I have my decision though, I feel that apply for Ycombinator is the right way to go; I'm convinced it's that level idea, that warrants that level support to get it to world domination levels.

Thanks for the reply.
In what way is it early? UK left the European Union late last year. Since then there only is a temporary agreement in place, with a deadline later this year. Given the seemingly strength of the Prime Minister (see recent cabinet reshuffling) and his unwillingness to extend companies doing business in Britain have to prepare.
Tizen is a horrible mess, nobody wants to develop in that ecosystem. Samsung might dream about it being their backup, but their API is brain-damaging.

No, there is nothing quantum about the sometimes counterintuitive behavior of polarized light. It is actually pretty difficult to directly observe the particle nature of light.
This is an incredibly important point: in order for your synthetic data to be useful your simulator must have already solved the problem at hand. In theory there is no need to even fool around with generating the synthetic data and going through the charade of training a model on it; simply exact the outcome model from your simulator directly as that's implicitly what you are doing. For example, if you have a generative model that provides densities, you can simply compute P(Y | X) = P(X, Y) / P(X).

That sounds like an extra ordinary claim that telling people to encrypt their email will cause more unencrypted emails.

Claims like that need extra ordinary support. Spend money on a study where one company employees are told to encrypt their work emails, with an other company being told to not encrypt their work emails. At the end of the study, see which one encrypts more.

Common intuition say that the one being told to not encrypt will not have more encrypted email conversation than the other. At worst both have the same amount, and at best the one being told to encrypt has more encrypted conversations because they are more security aware.
very interesting. I don't believe the rotation to be the cause though, the angle towards the ground doesn't change much.
