Citation needed. Where do they allow to get the money back after you watched the film in the cinema?

About returning physical copies of digital goods: that is not what I was referring to. But yes, I believe that is a bad policy too. When I was young I had friends that did exactly that: buy the game, copy it and return it. Sorry, but that is simply not good, and I won't support that behavior, regardless of my "rights".
They're still going to get paid a hell of a lot of money if this drug works. It's not just going to be taken from them without any kind of compensation at all from the US Government and others.
Exactly. They have nothing to lose from this... (or almost nothing). Just the no-DRM stance saves them from soooo much random trouble due to connectivity, etc. etc.

There was one occasion when I was a little bit confused and couldn't download my purchase... but it was really just a UI problem -- and I figured it out. (Never reached out to support, but I'm sure they would have instantly pointed me to the download link.)

> I don't know if I agree with you there. A lot of AI work is around taking data and finding relationships between them. A current-gen AI might not understand what red is, for example, but it has no problem grouping red, blue, and green in to the the same cloud then mapping the relationships to objects that can be those colours.

It's also worth pointing out that it doesn't matter what red is. All it matters is that the entity you talk to understand to recognize in the situations you'd expect them to.

In other words, red isn't some absolute concept, for all we know every human may subjectively perceive colors differently but most of us can still recognize the color red when someone asks us to.

What do you mean by "write GUI"?

If to declare DOM structure then HTML is for that.

If to initialize DOM structure from code at runtime then this (C++ here):

use namespace sciter;

element root = window.get_root();
element div = element::create("div", L"Hello world");

root.append(div);

div.attach_event_handler(my_controller);

This is about the reason for, and consequences of, people not sharing it.

When people aren't sure what to do, they wait to see what others will do. If other people do nothing, they will also do nothing.

But are the other people doing nothing because it's the right thing to do, or because they were also waiting, or because they're just stupid?

If people don't share this as a result of learning about it, I believe the only way it will be used in the next 30 years is if I managed to convince the US government that it was important. I don't know if this is the case, but if it is, it's only because of several high-profile events that I believe were done by people who knew of this idea.

Simply put, if the US government does know of the idea and its role is important, then it means that people only used this idea because of crimes in which many people were killed. Would you be fine with that outcome?

But if vaping isn't unhealthy, is it really necessary to reduce vaping by teens? The primary reason for reducing smoking is that it's a huge risk factor that leads to negative health outcomes and expensive treatments. If it's not unhealthy (in the sense of causing respiratory disease or cancer), while I would prefer teens not smoke, I'm not nearly as concerned about vaping (however, I don't think we have nearly enough data about the long-term safety of vaping to really say for sure).

> He made himself available for questioning _after_ sequestering himself in the Ecuadorian embassy

That's propaganda. A lie. Please read the article before you comment further.

> Assange learned about the rape allegations from the press. He established contact with the police so he could make a statement. Despite the scandal having reached the public, he was only allowed to do so nine days later, after the accusation that he had raped S. W. was no longer being pursued. But proceedings related to the sexual harassment of A. A. were ongoing. On Aug. 30, 2010, Assange appeared at the police station to make a statement. He was questioned by the same policeman who had since ordered that revision of the statement had been given by S. W. At the beginning of the conversation, Assange said he was ready to make a statement, but added that he didn’t want to read about his statement again in the press. That is his right, and he was given assurances it would be granted. But that same evening, everything was in the newspapers again. It could only have come from the authorities because nobody else was present during his questioning. The intention was very clearly that of besmirching his name.

> Where did the story come from that Assange was seeking to avoid Swedish justice officials?
This version was manufactured, but it is not consistent with the facts. Had he been trying to hide, he would not have appeared at the police station of his own free will.

> He did not conceal his tracks.

True but I'm not sure it's feasible to conceal a theft of $10M from a large public corporation for very long if you don't work directly in finance or have IT access to financial records. Ultimately, double-entry accounting is going to show an imbalance somewhere as that $10M in gift cards is redeemed into actual cash at retail. Once the finance dept starts investigating why the books don't balance, it's only a matter of time until they narrow it down to approximately the right neighborhood.

He was stupid not to realize they would eventually start looking for where the missing money went. The only way he might have gotten away with it was to cash it quickly and very carefully disappear under another identity somewhere outside the U.S. forever.

Agreed.

I remain amazed until today about his progression. He founded a startup to solve a white upper middle class "problem", raised millions for that, was lucky to get a little bit more when he sold out his startup's users' data to the greater fool and now runs around and tries to get rich off other peoples creativity and sweat through the VC vehicle. When I learned that he actually founded OpenAI that org lost almost all appeal to me.

So yes, it might not be too much of a stretch to picture him as the embodiment of the current silicon valley mindset and all its tech-hybris and duplicity.

> whether the government should be able to prohibit technology

There is no principle that says governments (as representatives of the people) can't regulate what technologies people can have. Sometimes we decide that yes, the government should do this. Consider how the FCC regulates electronic devices to prevent radio interference. Enforcement is lax and as a hobbyist you aren't likely to get caught, but devices aren't commonly found in retail stores that don't have FCC approval.

There are many practical issues, of course, including making sure there is a balance of power and that law enforcement powers aren't abused. I agree with that part.

Even the Stanford/Cisco people were thinking "multiprotocol gateway" back then. Much of the push for TCP/IP came from the buy side. I did my networking work when I was at a big aerospace company, and we wanted everything to talk to everything else. Not have DECNET<->SNA<->XNS<->X.25<->TP4 gateways trying to interconvert. The vendors all pushed their proprietary systems.

Even Berkeley didn't get it at first. Early Berkeley TCP/IP only talked to other Berkeley TCP/IP systems. They had to be beaten on to get interoperability to work. 4.3BSD shipped with broken sequence number arithmetic that only talked to itself until we fixed that.

This was back when big buyers had more clout than software vendors. It's hard to do that today.
If you ever visit any of Asian country, you're in for a bit of a culture shock if you're expecting to see the kind of political correctness that you edited out from this comment earlier.

The top 5 Asian countries by size are Russia, China, India, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia. None of them have correctness, in fact all of them are anti-PC and see it as a weakness, especially in China and Russia where westerners are viewed as thin-skinned and weak minded due to PC culture. And in 3 of them people will either express real hate speech or outright violence towards homosexuals.

Your flowery ideals about the world around you are proving the point I was making.
China's numbers are absolutely not reliable, because:

- they've changed their reporting standards multiple times

- they don't seem to be testing enough people because of test kit shortages, because many people seem to have given up going to hospitals when they're sick because they know they won't get in or because they're barricaded in to their homes or forbidden from leaving

- their media censorship makes it difficult to independently verify the numbers they are reporting

>But, the logic behind "many long-shot bets in parallel" is inherently more difficult to explain in the political arena, which is why I think VC may actually be better at some of these kinds of things.

VC backed rockets have already taken longer to take a human to orbit than government money took to take a human to the moon. This is on top of the fact that they have had 60 years of technological improvement.

The one issue I have with AlternativeTo is it sometimes conflates a website and an app.

Your link, YouTube, is a good example. NewPipe is a great open-source alternative to the YouTube as an app (it's a YT client), while PeerTube is an alternative to YouTube as a website (it's a video-hosting platform). Yet they're listed together.
I'm confused about your understanding of events.

Two years after the events (entirely reasonable in the investigation of such a thing), there was indictments being issued. These are a necessary precursor for extradition.

Wheels of justice (and let's abstract this for a moment, whether you feel this particular case warrants it or not) turn slowly, especially when they involve classified information and potential defendants in asylum in third party countries.

"At the same time, an independent investigation by the FBI was going on regarding Assange's release of the Manning documents, and according to court documents dated May 2014, he was still under active and ongoing investigation."

I think you're trying to state that he should have been indicted years ago. What would have been the response then? That the US raced to indictment without a complete investigation? I think the general preference is towards more thorough investigations.

> If leaking secret information is a crime, encouraging a source to leak information is perfectly ethical.

There is a difference between: "investigating criminal activities, and encouraging sources to come forth with evidence thereof" and "actively encouraging sources to commit _additional_, _unrelated_ crimes", if not "actively helping them do so" (attempting to crack passwords of third party accounts on their behalf).

It's legal and ethical for a journalist to report on crimes. It is not legal, for example, for a journalist to break into a building to steal information on crimes, however valid that information may be.

> Regardless, the US doesn't have evidence to even prima-facie establish Assange having commited such crimes.

I'd argue that that is entirely false. Chat and email logs between Manning and Assange _repeatedly_ show them talking about covering tracks, and about Assange actively trying, by his own words, to crack passwords for unrelated accounts in classified systems. That is the very definition of _prima facie_.
Basically what was (and still is) happening is people are buying wholesale packaging (carts and boxes) off of Ebay and one of those Aliexpress-like Chinese sites (I can't remember the name right now) and filling the carts with some low end THC (usually pesticide filled) and then a bunch of fillers (vitamin e, etc) and selling them for $30-60 as $X brand. They'll usually tell you they got them from CO or whatever is near by when in reality they either have no idea where they originated or they're making them at home with god knows what.

They get them in bulk for stupid cheap, often with various names like Dank Vapes (which actually is a real company but IIRC they passed someones pesticide lab test but were still labeled low quality) or whatever else you can imagine, there's a /r/fakecartridges subreddit. Edit: I should mention, Dank Vapes is one of the most common counterfeit brands to buy from these wholesalers I mentioned. That's an immediate red flag on a cart.

So.. at this point I just wouldn't trust any carts unless you're buying them from a REGULATED shop and they're a well known brand or making them yourself. I had no idea CA/CO and I assume WA allowed unregulated/unlicensed stores or items to be sold but that's also a thing.

They'll can contain stuff like pg (propylene glycol), k2, pesticides, vitamin-e which damages your lungs, etc and who knows what else, their goal is usually to cut it down to a smooth moving and clear gold THC oil. I've seen some of these go through basically an arms race where dealers want you to keep coming back so they spike them with stuff that gets you more "high" - k2, etc. You can basically drive through any major downtown and see the effects of people on k2 "spice" which is a generic term now because the original ingredient, JWH-018 was banned in the USA a few years ago so now even "k2" is some umbrella term for just random chemicals you're inhaling to get tossed. Lots of addicts are using this stuff and when you see one passed out and covered in puke while going to lunch downtown often they've smoked some random "k2" variant. It used to be a somewhat decent chemical for people who didn't want to pop drug tests (Military, etc), it was literally a synthetic cannabinoid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JWH-018

People have been flocking to use carts instead of flower because they're just super easy to deal with. You can smoke them just about anywhere, bars, bathrooms, etc and most people wouldn't even notice.

Hopefully this isn't a scary level of detail. Anyone who is doing this stuff already knows the process, hopefully this educates people who are STILL buying these random cartridges and they stop buying them. Do NOT buy what you don't know.

edit: There are people who make legit carts at home, I don't want to sound like nobody does that.

> As somebody that has written a search engine, I would suggest you implement one and make it accessible to overcome the junior title

Their search infrastructure is built upon Elasticsearch, which I have direct experience scaling / putting out fires in my previous job.

So, I did have experience that was extremely relevant to their position (granted, not at the scale that they operate at, but that's always to be expected).

That being said, your point about "I've read they don't hire junior people" is precisely why I think I didn't make it past stage zero. So I totally agree with you there. I had a total of ~1.5 years of experience at my previous company, as an intern and then full-time, but since I was finishing up school during the tail end of my internship, I was only working full-time for ~7-8 months. So I'd bet it was certainly that.

Back on your idea about writing a search engine, perhaps I could see if there's some contributions I could make to Apache Lucene, which is the "kernel" that powers Elasticsearch.
One bit I find somewhat interesting is that most of "national oldest businesses" predate their current nations by quite a bit.
This map seems to use a very variable and at times generous definition of both “company” and “still in business”.

Sure, Australia Post is one of Australia’s oldest institutions if you count from the date of the establishment of its oldest predecessor (which this map does, as a Postmaster-General was first appointed for New South Wales in 1809), but a single national postal service wasn’t established until Australia itself was established in 1901 and the colonial postal services were merged, and even then it was a government department until 1975, and wasn’t corporatised until 1989 and remains government-owned to this day.

I'm surprised to see so much love for CouchDB in this thread. I don't think it's been widely adopted in corporate america and has lost the war to MongoDB closed source or not.

I joined a company where it's being used backing a mobile app with couch/pouch in production. We can't wait to get off of it. Writes are slow. Reads are worse. Having a DB per user is a scaling and backup nightmare. If you run into any issues, it's a ghost town.

I'm glad the CouchDB Team is forging ahead, but who is really using this database?
