My oldest kid once mopped the floor with me, 7 games in a row at Love Letter. I didn't throw the games to make him happy, he just plain had a combination of good draws and good play. He was 7 at the time. Kids are amazing.
The difference is that copyright is a right that involves making money, while the right to free speech doesn't always involve selling things. The sender of a notice is benefiting off of copyright in some way, while the alleged infringer might not be benefiting financially, and therefore it's more important to allow them to defend their rights freely.

That sounds like speculation. But anyway, there's no reason to open the floodgates in an unprincipled way just because being principled and iterative is challenging.
I was talking selection sort, not insertion sort.

But, while we're here... Insertion sort is O(n^2) on the number of comparison operations, because this step is O(n) on the number of sorted items (you start with 0 of them, and end with n of them, for an average of n/2, which is O(n)):

> find the place within the sorted books where this book belongs

You do this once for each unsorted item (you start with n of them, and end with 0 of them, for an average of n/2, which is O(n)).

Granted, in real life, your brain does a better job of remembering roughly the correct place for each book, so I would say average case with a small number of books you are correct. If you're sorting a large number of books, you need to find the correct spot in less than O(n) comparisons to do better than O(n^2) on the algorithm. I think finding the correct spot would still be O(n), just with a small constant.

Interestingly, if you were sorting a massive volume of books like this and you started to forget the right spot for things, you might modify your strategy and start binary searching for it. This would help you find the spot in O(log(n)), and you'd be doing the sort in O(n*log(n))! It's a small improvement that yields binary insertion sort.

Having police on the roads is having a huge positive impact on drinking and driving. Let’s be careful not to over-correct when demilitarizing our police force.
The self checkouts at my local Walmarts already do this. When an error occurs it flags for help but lets me proceed up until it is time to pay. By then usually an associate has already made their way over to check the errors in batch vs 1 at a time as they come up.

It's so much nicer of an experience compared to machines that just stop functioning until an employee can "help" you.
I mean, it was a big deal in that it was historically impactful, but he was far from the first.
Gear and training dovetail. Like at many companies, LEO training has been "game-ified", and much of it consists of playing with toys procured at taxpayer expense.

My understanding was that fbdev is deprecated (but I was unable to find good info on this) and that one should use dumb buffers (https://manpages.debian.org/testing/libdrm-dev/drm-memory.7....) for this simple stuff / somewhat portable software rendering. At least Qt allows to do this for embedded devices without hardware rendering.
I would like them to provide and require body cams for all officers

But we had police shooting at reporters on live TV already. It's not that documented misconduct didn't exist. What's missing is savage consequences for misconduct.

A Bot That Auto-Tweets Edits to New York Times Stories and Headlines
Slightly tangential question, but I have seen at least one proposal [1] for "malpractice insurance" for cops. The claim is that this would shift expenses for bad policing settlements from taxpayers to bad actors -- a bad cop attracts suits, creates settlements, pays higher premiums, and perhaps eventually stops being a cop. It has some kind of economic logic, but to the best of my knowledge this has never been implemented anywhere. Has it?

Funny how Let’s Encrypt is so popular because it doesn’t inconvenience people, and as a result more websites than ever have been secured, to the betterment of society.
Please tell me you remember all the conspiracies coming out of that place
Wow, anecdotal but very telling. I tend to think that most cops are "good people", but that doesn't mean that the majority also doesn't go around envisioning their job primarily as a combat deployment to a war zone, and only secondarily as an exercise in protecting and strengthening their communities.

The bellicose see war everywhere...
Not that simple to just pay. You need an EV certificate (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Validation_Certific...), which in turn needs a verified business address.

If you have kids it's really easy. You don't notice that they put an item in their stroller or inside another item that you're buying (like you're buying a cooler and they put a toy in the cooler).

Technically it's your kids stealing, but since you are responsible for their actions, it's on you.

When this happens to me I usually let them know the next time I'm at that store (or if I discover it in the parking lot I go back in). Sometimes they charge me for it, usually they just say thanks for being honest.
To the point about scientific consensus:

https://doi.org/10.1007%2F978-0-387-77574-6_5

The authors suggest that 30 ng/mL seems like the sweet spot for most health outcomes. Higher levels (~ 50 ng/mL) might be beneficial for fighting cancer, but the risks associated with the prolonged supplementation is unclear, which is why they do not recommend it.

Something to keep in mind is that high levels of vit D are linked with high levels of circulating calcium, which is a problem. Protocols that advocate high Vit D doses, like the Coimbra Protocol for autoimmune diseases (100,000 IU per day), try to keep calcium levels low. The Coimbra Protocol tries to find the Vit D dose that minimises parathyroid hormone levels, and needs a diet practically calcium free to be safe. PTH causes calcium levels in the blood to go up, leading to kidney damage and inappropriate calcification.

Outside of an extreme setting like the Coimbra Protocol, while PTH is inversely linked to Vit D levels, beyond a certain point rising Vit D levels cause PTH levels to go up. This suggests that there exists a sweet spot of circulating vit D that minimises PTH levels.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6180659/

This study among healthy subjects in Nairobi found that the lowest PTH levels were associated with a vit D level around 30 ng/mL.
Agree, this can potentially take a long time and a lot of money to go to court. That's why I am considering the possibility that the Internet Archive is effectively trolling them by doing everything legally but talking about it in a way that upsets publishers.

BTW, thank you for the link to the attachment. Some books, like RE0000172597 The Magician's Nephew will likely be too old for statutory damages. Others, like TX0005757057 The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: a Leadership Fable were not registered timely and will likely be blocked from statutory damages due to that. But TX0008865827 The Man Who Solved the Market for example is registered timely, so that one would qualify for statutory damages, if they can prove that this book was willfully infringed.

But the last one - i.e. the only one in my 3 examples that could get statutory damages - looks like it was uploaded by a contributor and the preview page was only viewed a mere 621 times... So that could be a DMCA safe harbor defense, that IA simply didn't notice before that this unpopular contributor-uploaded book wasn't legal.

https://archive.org/details/manwhosolvedmark0000zuck/

BTW, it looks like the IA has now disabled the group pages for suing publishers, which might gently nudge viewers towards other books, potentially driving sales away to their competition.
I'm either in the minority of people who aren't going to miss MagSafe, or there's a minority of people supporting it who happen to be particularly vocal. Here's why I think USB-C is an upgrade to MagSafe:

1. Apple doesn't do cables well; they've always been bad at it. I'm on my third Macbook Pro power cable in 6 years (and this one is now fraying too). Their attempt at strain relief is a good case study of form over function and the plastic along the entire length of the cable seems to deteriorate/yellow/become gummy/separate over time as well. The cynic in me makes me think that Apple is purposely making these a disposable wear part so that you have to keep buying replacements, and man are those replacements expensive because the part that frays the most (right near the MagSafe connector) is attached to the entire power brick! So now you're looking at a $79 replacement part!! Contrast with a good USB-C cable, which is superior in almost every way: It lasts longer, has better strain relief, is sturdier and won't come apart with age, and most importantly, it's not attached to the power brick itself so a replacement is much cheaper.

2. USB-C is way more useful and can do a lot more than just charge your computer. My phone is USB-C so when I travel with a laptop and a phone I can either bring just a single charger, or bring two and have a backup in case I lose one. MagSafe simply doesn't do anything else, but USB-C does a lot else.

So yeah, I'm not sad to see MagSafe go. All these other complaints I agree with in spades, but not this particular one.
Not buying lottery tickets seems like a good place to start though.
I wonder if that is really such a big thing ...? Is Google (the Ad and online service company) really a competitor of Amazon (the online retailer)? In what way does Google make use of trends in online shopping? And furthermore: how many companies out there are harvesting emails, and what technology are they using? Most emails are sent using e2e encryption/Tls nowadays. Gruber mentions Edison Mail in the article ... are there more? And do webmail/freemail services sell these data to big data companies?

In that light, I think I like that move by Amazon. It protects their data and my data as well. Win-win.
It was kind of odd or interesting, in that he was looking at the camera the whole time for those 21 seconds.

Personally, if talking to another person, I would look down or away if formulating (or trying to give the impression that I'm formulating) an answer. Rather than look at the person uncomfortably (on the part of the other person) for 21 seconds -- maybe that's because in person, if you look at someone and say nothing for a long period it invites them to fill the gap and say something instead.

Perhaps it's different or he thinks about it differently because he's looking at a camera? Or it's a one-way press conference?

It does just look odd though. Not to say he shouldn't take time to answer important questions -- and in fact more public figures should do this. But I would just naturally think he would look down or away from the camera while doing it, to indicate that some response is coming during the silence.
Why are you on HN if you’re going to just be dismissive of exciting technology?
Who exactly are these "many people"? I haven't been able to find a source on this. When I checked yesterday, three protesters had been killed by people unrelated to the protest, and two people had been shot by some people driving around in a car (cannot work out how/whether that is related to the riots).

There's a lot of energy being put into making this sound like it's more violent than it is, again, so that you agree with it and stay compliant. When the Government does something violent that goes against the reasons it was created, you should not be compliant. I'd hope that you would agree that the Government cannot unilaterally execute people, and that just sitting there while it does so is... completely immoral.
I think a major difference here is that LetsEncrypt relies on an already existing third-party authority, that generally has some scrutiny to it: DNS registrars.
Thanks for writing this. We evaluated it for building funnels on behavioural events data but found that it didn't seem to fit naturally.

No, it's the IP of the first relay.

Tor works pretty much like this:

You -> Relay 1 -> Relay 2 -> Relay 3 -> The website

Each arrow is an encrypted connection. The content of the exchange on a single arrow is the address of the next hop and the query of the next hop. Thanks to this:

- Relay 1 only knows you're going through Relay 2

- Relay 2 doesn't know who's asking (you) but knows it passed through Relay 1 and is going through Relay 3

- Relay 3 doesn't know who's asking (you) and where you entered, but knows it's going to the website

The nodes in the middle know everything that goes through them, but don't have the big picture.

The entry IP address is the IP address of Relay 1. Your computer must know an address to connect to, and that address is distributed in listings by the Tor Project. Since this listing is public, it also makes it easier for censors to censor, or at least detect who's interested in connecting through Tor
They didn't delete it, they hid it. It still exists and will probably be made public again when it becomes historically significant

He lives in Taiwan. He doesn’t see the first hand accounts by the local news stations like someone in the US. He probably isn’t talking to people who are close to what’s going on. Whether that leaves him more objective or out of touch is an exercise for the reader.
The theory is just as "reasonable" as the Soviet misinformation about HIV was. That is, not at all. It's a wildly implausible assertion that there's no evidence for.

People outside of labs are exposed to bat coronaviruses all the time. The chances that one of a very small number of highly trained researchers working according to strict protocols was patient zero - as opposed to the millions of regular people who come into contact with bat coronaviruses with absolutely no protection or training - is minuscule.

Just like the Soviet misinformation in the 1980s, the theory can't be disproven right now, in exactly the same way that any other malicious accusation made with zero evidence can't be disproven. The Trump administration is acting extremely recklessly by spreading this unsupported conspiracy theory.

Exact same story here.

Spent an afternoon comparing different (very sketchy yet somehow the best in Windows code sign cert land) sites, finally picked one, signed the app and downloaded it on another machine.

That particular dialog has been the same since Windows 10's launch, though it is "adaptive" in that as the reputation slowly builds it will show the Run Anyways button at something like "medium reputation".
I don't think it's such a bad system either, but the certificates themselves should be much cheaper, if not free. I mean, they don't even do anything until a critical mass of users lets the app through smart-screen.

IIRC, further research has strongly suggested that economic background was not only "just as influential" in later wealth, but that it predicted which children would take the marshmallow.

Which makes sense: If you have grown up knowing that you're not likely to get a promised reward later (because it's never within reach, financially, or because the kinds of things that make it cost so much money to be poor keep coming up), yeah, you're going to take a treat when it's available.
