There are a number if different (if somewhat overlapping) copyright exceptions for libraries. Some do allow copies to be made generally available to the public, though none are intended to mass distribution of any one work.

Section 108(a) allows the library to make a single copy of a work and distribute it to the public.

Section 108(b) allows up to three copies, for preservation or security or for deposit in another library (but not distributed directly to the public).

Section 108(c) allows up to three copies to replace deteriorating or obsolete media, but does not allow distribution outside the premises.

Section 108(d) applies only to excerpts.

Section 108(e) allows apparently unlimited copies to be made for "private study, scholarship, or research"—this is the default assumption, so the library would need to know that this was not the case to be in violation—provided that the work "cannot be obtained at a fair price". However, the copy must become the property of the user (i.e. not a loan).

Section 108(h) allows more widespread copying and distribution of abandonware within the last 20 years of their copyright period.

Ironically, section 108(e) would probably offer the best protection, but only if they were actually handing out permanent copies and not limited-time loans.
news.ycombinator.com is another amazing echo chamber. Racism going one way, one-sided political views, forum sliding, dissenting posts flagged, down moderated, censored from view. One more Leftwing echo chamber to radicalize, brainwash and mislead. Training techno Marxists to destroy their own critical thinking, side always politically left, ridicule and embrace censorship of their enemies, and to bury awareness that their hungry, deathful ideology has historically killed 100 ~ 200+ million of their own people.
> The linked text is very clear and cannot be construed at all as "extreme". At the same time, he holds that while we can reach temporary compromises, proprietary software is always unethical

Right, and that's exactly what I'm referring to. It's pretty extreme how categorically the FSF applies the term 'unethical'. I'm not saying Stallman is incapable of ever making compromises.

If Vim were proprietary, I probably wouldn't use it, but freeware isn't unethical.

On the point of Zoom meetings, the FSF have just begun offering a Jitsi service to all Associate Members of the FSF.

> If a research scientist doesn't know how their work is going to turn out, they're probably on the right track. If an engineer doesn't know how their work is going to turn out, they're probably on the wrong track.

Your view of engineering doesn't fit with my experience. Certain areas of engineering are quite conservative and take that approach, using primarily proven designs (e.g., structural mechanics, fire protection). Licensed professional engineers generally follow that pattern. But this is not characteristic of engineering as a whole.

E.g., a small side project of mine is a device I intend to get a patent on. I understand the physical mechanism (the science) behind the device but have only a vague idea of what the actual device itself will look like. It's going to take a fair amount of experimentation to figure that out. Experimentation and design are fairly closely linked in engineering, and this was emphasized in my education.

Add on top of that the engineers who basically just experiment with various poorly understood systems. I'm thinking in particular about the industries with chemical processes and chip fabrication here. They might not have any clear understanding at all at first about why certain changes have certain effects. Now, some of these engineers might not care and accept that something works without understanding why. But many of them will look into that.

> Non-STEM folks might have a hard time understanding either field, but they might also be less likely to assume that they already do.

You identify a real phenomena, but I don't think there's a reason to single out engineers here. My own experience with physicists is that they are typically overconfident about their own fluid dynamics knowledge, for instance.

I suppose maybe you can try running it through Otter[1]. We’ve used it with varying degrees of success when interviewing customers, and it’s also what powers Zoom’s transcript feature which is what we use these days.

It’s hit and miss, in my opinion. It’ll give you a good enough base to refine the transcript from, but I’ve yet to come across a transcript that doesn’t need editing. (Which is annoying, since Zoom doesn’t give you that option.) I’d say it’s more valuable having the tool than not, but don’t expect miracles.

(I’m not affiliated with Otter or Zoom in any way.)

Building learning systems that can operate on multiple modalities, and are totally interpretable. I think of these requirements as the basis for the next big jump in software usability, (I.e much better intelligent user interfaces)

AGI is not what I want to build, someone else can do that. For now I want to increase the capacity for people to build neural networks that researchers don’t dream of doing, as easy as stitching together web APIs. I internalize this under the title “the Infrastructure of Intelligence”

Also, eventually I would like to work on a programming language for biology, and contribute to building wetware computers.

Another thing that I think the first project would help is longitudinal health tracking and quantifying human biology.

Protests and riots aren't mutually exclusive
It may. Riot can be a bit of a pain to get the initial handshake going. If all else fails just keep blowing up the room and retrying until it sticks. I've had to do that before with members of my team.
I have never in my life seen an ambulance be stopped by a protest, nor have ever heard of such an incident ever occuring.
We also use an HSM.

Smart cards are held by two separate people, each card set is different. Both have to be present to restart the HSM.

Our HSM can require up to five different cards be required for certain operations.

For us, we only require two for normal operations.

For HSM management (key generation, card authentication, etc..) we require a third card set member to be present. This protects against accidental key erasure, or fraud.

>As I responded elsewhere in this thread, by this criterion, we should stop pretty much everything we are doing. Which is not a viable option, never has been, and never will be.

No, I'm not saying this. I'm saying we need to stop pretending its sustainable to keep burning carbon at the rates we are. It's not sustainable and we need to take painful steps immediately to stop this.

It does not mean we need to "stop doing pretty much everything we're doing". Not sure where you get that idea. It means we need to stop allowing every Cletus in Kentucky to buy an F-350 and pay $1.89 for a gallon of gas to cruise 56 miles to the local Walmart to buy factory farmed beef and a bunch of plastic sh!t shipped across the globe from 12 different parts of China.

The idea is we should live in reality, not that we shouldn't live.
A big question that I don't see addressed in the text or asked here yet: why does this require the user to not be in private browsing mode? Some necessary API that's not available in incognito mode? Is the restriction temporary?
Why are people get so worked up over words rather than actions? Yes, Trump makes many stupid statements.

Protests have been regularly shown to let emergency vehicles through, I saw videos of this yesterday.
sigh this is the type of sensationalism that I think leads us towards many problems we have today. Did these things occur? Yes of course. Are they nearly as bad as they are made out to be here? No. Are most people who read this going to think its the end of the world? Yes.

Lets take a look at a few examples -

> More than 20% of Australia's forest is lost to forest fires

They were not "lost". Forests grow back. Fires are a natural and necessary part of a forest's lifecycle. Moreover large scale fires in Australia happen _every_ year. This years was the largest, yes. The scale is increasing due to global warming, yes. But its silly to imply that 20% of Australia's forests are now a desolate wasteland permanently.

> The UK withdraws from the European Union.

... And life marches on? I get you don't brexit, but is disingenuous to put this on the same level as the rest of the stuff, especially since its been like 4 years coming.

The only really important item here. This one is bad. This is what 2020 should be remembered for.

My child screams at me that he wants candy for dinner.

He throws a tantrum, screams, yell, slams his hand against the counter. Throws his toys, tells me he hates me.

It's noise and chaos. It doesn't go ignored, but it also isn't allowed. It isn't a compelling way to get me to give them what they want, unless I'm a bad parent with no direction and structure. Civility, good behavior, that gets noticed positively.

You don't understand the problem, you are emotionally invested in this, which is why you think harming innocent people is an avenue to positive change. You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

In our system, you protest to raise awareness, to gain positive traction in the public awareness, you then vote and work within the system to enact the real mechanisms of change. When done with compassion, it brings everyone on board to your cause, even if a few bitch and moan about it.

Martin Luther King Jr. knew this. If you think physically harming others and their property, street mob justice, if you think this is an avenue to positive change, you don't understand our system.

Honestly Covid tracing seems fairly moot at this point. With tens of thousands of people marching in the streets every night, aren’t we all basically exposed if we’re part of any network?
If it is truly believed that Twitter's response to the tweet is going to forestall its influence, you're kidding yourself. It's a signal that Twitter is giving regarding itself more than it is an effective strategy for any purpose.

If it is desired that every social media company holds the exact same standards for its content, we may as well consolidate them all; who needs more than one social media site? Much easier to police or push around, too.
Interesting - I've seen it touted as LiDAR data but since it's all a bit unofficial, I guess it could be anything. I'll see if I can dig up any old articles about it - it's been there for quite some time.
I love how certain types of people offer the false choice of unjust and unaccountable police or no police at all.

I guess it's too much to ask that police obey the law they are supposed to be enforcing.

This is why the country is in flames right now.
>A lot of violent protests are organized movements. They "advertise" on websites similar to Craigslist and offer $25/h on average.

That needs a citation, seriously, even if English is your second language you must know that is a bold claim. Who's paying this $25 per person, how do the logistics of organising a group like that happen? I mean trump pays actors to turn up to his rallies, but they aren't going to get arrested or killed.

Occam's razor though says that they really are just fed up of people of colour being harassed and killed by the police that's why they are protesting, that's why there are so many of them. sure it's co-opted by a some people, or small groups, for financial gain, but these aren't huge global cabals, they are criminals who see an opportunity to exploit.

There was a video circulating of a streamer who tried to instigate trouble at a peaceful protest and he was called out on it by lots of those around him.

If you have ever been in one of these protests you would know that the spark is almost always a police charge or other offensive action like tear gas.

Also remember a riot is not looting, a riot is just defcon 5 on the protest scale, and some people will use that as an opportunity to loot, same people who would loot after a flood or a hurricane or an earthquake. That's doesn't mean the riot is wrong.
Two different police vans drove up to a barricade and there were virtually no people behind them. Where do you think they were going? Why do you think they drove into the barrier to begin with? Why could they not back up?
The problem is these protest are not effective, period.

All this is ultimately doing is making racist people more racist.

I am a white guy and my girl is black. You know how much we talk about race? None, zero, never. It only ever comes up when racist people point out we are not of the same race. Our values, taste and upbringings are literally the same. If you think black people can't be racist try dating a black woman as a white guy, lol.

The way to get past racism is not to be a racist and divide people on the basis of race. That is it.

What is happening right now is going in the wrong direction.

You would have a hard time helping the cause of racist assholes more than these protest.
It's an enormous stretch to call delicate speech about my personal convictions "misinformation". Anyway, my only intent is to help people, not add to the conflict. It's just that I believe the police have dropped all pretense of sharing that goal of helping people.
If someone is willing to forget you exist and stop communicating with you just because you dropped off their favorite social network system... well, my guess is they aren't really your friend after all.

rioting is indeed not free speech, but surely attacking the press, one of the fundamental institutions in any democracy, is a violation of free speech.

And not only have the people in question not spoken up in defense of the press, they've actually routinely declare them the enemy of the people.

> thus lowering the CFR (Case Fatality Rate) for that segment of the population to something near a low multiple of the normal Flu -- the "lockdown" hypothesis should have been discarded, violently, for that segment of the population!

You are deeply into "Not even wrong" territory.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

Did you forget HCQ already? Lots of "positive reports" and yet controlled studies shows that it kills more Covid patients than leaving them untreated.

We have data and hypotheses showing that it's mostly continuous exposure that matters (which means that nongroup workers are better off than we expected and casual interactions to buy groceries and such are safer than expected), and yet everybody wants to get back into groups--which is known wrong. Two Mother's Day gatherings account for more than 50% of the Covid cases in Santa Cruz county.

Data by itself is meaningless. Data leads to a "falsifiable hypothesis" which can then be tested. AFTER the test passes or fails, you modify your Bayesian priors and your working tasks. Lather, rinse, repeat.
If you want to save lives, then armed cops are killing far more people than cops are being killed every year. So, removing guns from a cops normal uniform would very much save lives.

Anyone trying their hands at when/how a second phase of covid-19 could start?

Would you be ok with WeChat censoring "anti-China slogans" coming from HK? Think about it. Deeply. People in China think of HK citizens as against their country and what they stand for. And, just because we fall into one side of the barricade, we think that WeChat censoring stuff is NOT OK.

Are we asking Facebook to do the same as WeChat?

Here is another hypothetical situation. Imagine if all tech companies were pro-republican and there was no voice for democrats on social media. Just saying to make a point.
