With the client responsible for chunking, redundancy, and error correction, I don't think the lack of ECC really matters for their use case. The rest of the issues are more important.

Edit: The motherboard they picked does support ECC memory, anyway. In general ASRock models do.

The solution for me in the past has been a religious approach to work-life balance: LEAVE THE OFFICE AT 5 PM. Every day.

Sure have some leeway for the real genuine emergencies, but fixing a random bug or "finishing this off" is not worth hanging around after 5 for.

I did this and went from feeling burnt out, drained, and ultimately crushed at the end of each day, to leaving the office "hungry" and looking forward to coming back in tomorrow to continue fixing that bug or finishing off that thing or whatever with just enough energy remaining to get me through to 5pm again. Life is too short to "dedicate" yourself to a job.

TL:Dr - just do your job, don't be your job.
This whole thread, and your comment in particular, resonates. At the very least, knowing this might be the unspoken norm, rather than a personal challenge, that alone helps a ton.

Yes there is, Popcorn Time just got hit with one. And it's going to be a long and arduous battle in courts before the repository is back up.

You're right that the law as written does not recognize those notices, but they get filed, and they get respected by the hosters, ergo they exist.

More people in a single apartment will definitely increase spread. I'm not sure small apartments per se make any difference unless the ventilation is interconnected. I'm not sure how common that is.

I agree that everything is more crowded in NYC, but the only thing I can think of more crowded than a subway car is a nightclub. Estimating from ridership numbers, the average New Yorker rides the subway 15-30 minutes per day. The ceilings aren't even that high, just the number of people per unit volume is incredible.

One of the case studies I saw showed it spreading on a long distance bus between people sitting four rows away from each other.
You're disillusioned not with tech but with greedy political idiots who ru(i)n it. Fundamentally it's all simple with tech. You calculate things and apply your logic and experience and then you get a working system if you've done it correctly. No exceptions.

It's when you deal with self-interest and greed of business-people that are just there to bleed you dry you encounter problems.

My advice would be to limit your exposure to all things business in tech and just sit in the corner doing what you can do best: writing programs. Then it becomes fun again.
The best way to think about this is the classic Buckminster Fuller quote "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

You misunderstand the word "monopoly". Youtube is where the exposure is, they technology for hosting videos is a commodity.

In other words, no one has the "right" to Youtube's distribution and promotion. Put you video on another site and promote it yourself.

The law defines whether a document qualifies as a DMCA takedown notice, not the manner in which the document is being used. Somebody other than a court declaring a document to be a DMCA takedown notice doesn't make that true.
It's the experience I've been facing in London, UK for the last 5 years.

I'm 'fortunate' to have those options when I'm in London. Friends and family in other parts of Europe don't have a store near them, and their only support option is to send their faulty unit away for 2-4 weeks, which often results in me doing their support for them, as I'm (or I suppose, was) often flying through and could do it as a favour.

> That's a good point. It's a reason why comments like the one at the top comparing a Dell to an Apple computer don't make a lot of sense. They aren't apples-to-apples comparisons.

Yes, and no. This is a technical forum. The software support Apple offers isn't (and probably shouldn't be) useful to the vast majority on here, as any software support you can get from an Apple store, you can get on Google significantly faster.

Within that context, I think the comparison is reasonable. We can all fix any software issues we run into (within limits, those limits vary by platform, arguably more limited in Apple land) ourselves, and those that we can't we're at the mercy of our upstream supplier anyway.

From my experiences dealing with Apple Support regarding software bugs that have come about through software updates, I have no positive things to say. They did offer me $200 worth of accessories to make up for all of my time they wasted after ~18 months of one incident, but that's a poor amount of compensation for the amount of my real time they wasted.
French hospital discover a coronavirus case from December
What??? I cannot make any sense out of your comment. No disrespect, but you're jumping around a lot and I do not follow.

ETA: Allow me to explain for the downvoters:
The size of the company is irrelevant. There are plenty of large companies that have honest leadership. I can trust a fraction of the size of the company, because I trust those people to not work for horrible companies.

Trusting a human being and trusting an organized group of them are obviously different.

Your personal alignment with a company's goals has nothing to do with whether said company is trustworthy. You can trust a company to meet its goals without becoming best friends with it. The goals here are quite clear. The spec has been published. Apple and Google are well poised to meet the goal at hand. Truly, who else is going to do this right now with the same level of resources, and how long are you willing to wait for it?

Finally, I found the analogy of wild, dangerous animals to companies extremely weird in light of the fact that you started your comment with "I wish people would stop anthropomorphizing".
c.1.C describes the effect of a notice in essentially the same terms as c.1.A.iii, which describe how to maintain immunity generally when informed of the circumstances in the other two clauses of c.1.A .

My (possibly incorrect) interpretation of this is that notices of the form described in c.3 represent a sufficient de jure form of providing the information in c.1.A.iii that would void immunity if not acted upon. Other means of providing this information to the service provider also require them to act, but will need to be examined on a case-by-case basis in court.

Also note that the infringed and infringing material are to be specified separately (c.3.a.ii,iii). In this case, the infringed material is a list of movies owned by the claimant that are distributed via PopcornTime. The infringing material is the PopcornTime software itself.

Though they needn’t cite anything to justify their “good-faith belief” that the software itself is in violation of copyright law wrt. their IP, nothing prevents such a statement being present, either.

FWIW, I see the difference. I agree that rounding up by 180 million is not rounding up but changing the numbers. I also agree that "undernourished or starving" is not the same as "starving".

But I do agree that perhaps it isn't an as strong victory as aripickar claimed.
I continue to believe the main problem here is of a psychological nature, not of climate science.

Unless something changes, 10 years from now we're all going to be having this same discussion.
> There is no way to know whether the specification actually matches the implementation.

That would be true even if Apple suddenly decided "oh these folks on HN want to see the code for that tracing component, better open source our complete OS". I've seen assurances that parts of this will be open sourced as far as they can but I honestly don't see how that matters. You have, as is a general tradition, a description of what this system does cryptographically. The rest is a matter of reverse engineering that hardly benefits from having the code. It's not like Play store updates or whatever Apple uses to push this are reproducible builds the end user can verify. And you always have the closed source blob of whatever BTLE chipset your device uses which you can mistrust.

edit: Let me qualify "but I honestly don't see how that matters" for the question of trust in what runs on your phone here. If you read a dig at OSS into this you're generalizing far over what I'm addressing here.
Perhaps the institutional shareholders have Apple holdings precisely because their privacy-centric practices increase their stability, independence, and profit—without having to sell out their customers.

Well it is. Most production web sites today are exploitable because of this.

That was a consequence of relentless campaign, but it was not necessarily an raise for the workers. They essentially traded a form of compensations for another.

Also 15 dollars per hour can be high or not depending where you live.
Nobody's glamorizing rural poverty, the point was that our over-compartmentalized work culture is a relatively very recent phenomenon with negative consequences for many people such as decreased work satisfaction, decreased sense of social safety net/community, and loneliness.

It's kind of annoying how every time someone discusses aspects of society that may have regressed from the past, somebody chimes in to remind us that technology has advanced so life is better today. Well obviously, what's your point? Nobody's claiming we should get rid of 21st century technology and start living like medieval peasants.

This is so depressing. Covid is obviously terrible (and I’m one of the fortunate ones for whom it has barely touched) and but at least it has temporarily distracted me from dwelling on the unfolding climate disaster.

When is humanity going to get a grip on this? We know what the outcomes are and we know what the fixes are yet we’re doing ~nothing. I have a huge feeling of constant background dread for the future.

Microsoft confirms Windows 10x is coming to laptops
As somebody living in Europe I find this data very interesting. We had a super strong flu season, which was incredibly contagious. This is the first year (in a decade) that everybody in my family got it. One kid first, then the other, then wife, then grandparents that were babysitting while wife was down. I'm the only one that didn't get it, but I was on travels during that time. Effects were mild on the kids, while the grandparents needed 14 days to recover. Wife lost sense of taste and smell.

I really want to do a serological test for Covid just to see if we might have gone through it in January, when 0 cases were reported in our vicinity (Slovenia, which is next to Italy).
Not as much as you probably think it does. Most of the important legal cases about filesharing/P2P systems and contributory infringement have hinged on whether the service operators had actual knowledge of infringement by their users, not merely a reasonable suspicion that their users expected to be able to use the software for infringement.

It's wrong to ridicule aether. It was a theory, the theory was tested, and it turned out to be wrong. Lots of theories are wrong. It's not like scientists at the time were stupid. James Clerk Maxwell believed that an aether was required, and he was literally the first person to write down the full set of equations for electromagnetism. Occam's razor doesn't tell us that aether is less parsimonious than "Literally, time slows down when you go faster. Also, light is a particle and a wave at the same time. Kind of."

Aether suffered from clear problems as an idea as the long list of weird properties it had to satisfy, and the list only got longer and longer. Dark matter isn't like that at all -- it's easy to add to our theories that there's a particle that is invisible but has mass. There's no Michaelson-Morley experiment that's extremely hard to explain.

Those are projects funded by 800-pound gorilla companies/foundations. It's either their way or the highway and people complain all the time, some have even forked the code and ripped out telemetry (Vscodium). Homebrew got a response comparable to Caddy but they screwed up even worse because they use Google Analytics.
> Don't be naïve. This is not an NGO or an institution. They are doing this so that they and noone else owns the data.

Even if this "do your research" level talking point would be true, they don't own the data in this proposal, the end user device does. The device you trust and use anyway, the device that has your geolocation and access to far more data Gapple could abuse at all times. Which is better than what the COVIDsafe/NHSX/ROBERT put forward for the specific topic of digital contact tracing.

But no employer would force you to have long commutes.

It may be impossible in some cases to have short commutes, but if, even by chance, you managed to move in the same building as your office no one would force you to go through the metro.

Commutes are clearly a grey area, waiting times to be let "free" are less so.
While the protocol may be good, the app implementing it may be not. Google and Apple have gone to great length that you cannot control what's running on your device. The next update can be nefarious and you can do only little about it. Just have a look at the Australian assistance laws. The distrust is well earned.

The description about the contrast between an easy, soul-less corporate environment and the insanely difficult startup environment where you get torn apart by vultures resonates very strongly with me.

I think anyone who has worked for a good mix of startups and corporations will understand the extreme difference. And yes, being around a bunch of highly optimistic people inside corporations is depressing.

And it's depressing that people get paid more to do useless bureaucratic things while in a corporation than adding real value whilst in a startup.

I blame Federal reserve banks and fiat money for this. That's why I work in cryptocurrency space now. Cryptocurrency allows you to get profit from systemic inefficiencies just like corporations but you get that nice efficiency, value-creation feeling of a startup.

People have also successfully gotten videos taken down from youtube by claiming copyright to bird noises that doesn't mean anyone owns bird sounds.

It's understandable for Microsoft to follow the DMCA notice and take down procedure but none of this adds legal weight to a "creative" reading of the law. If something isn't clearly in line with the clear text of the law it means exactly jack shit without a actual court decision backing up the lawyers interesting interpretation of the text.

Its insidious because it probably wont be settled at all and the settled truth is that you can mostly abuse the DMCA to have anything taken down for 2 weeks unless they have the funds to sue you for it.

Future imitators will presumably be toolkits where you plug in your own "channels" and will be promoted as tools for people create their own youtube competitors.

With a bit of work you could probably have actual non infringing users for example a provider of tech or how to videos with a more generous sharing arrangement compared to youtube.
