Under German law copyright is non-transferrable.

However, the copyright holder can grant another party unlimited usage rights as well as waive the right to be mentioned as the actual copyright holder.

Both of these might apply here: SAP's and Deutsche Telekom's employees most likely have waived their right to be mentioned as individual copyright holders (which is a common stipulation in German employment contracts) while SAP and Deutsche Telekom have not, which is why they are mentioned as copyright holders instead of the Federal Republic of Germany.
You're correct, and the market is always right after all.

However I am confident based on previous events that BCH prices will trend strongly downward when news of the next successful 51% attack is released.
In the end it's just an index linking papers usually hosted in arxiv with code usually in GitHub. It's more of a nice starting point for literature research rather than some content owning platform.
Likely true. But a peaceful demonstration results in no media coverage and no changes at all.

This all will not end well.

P.s. Were there significant riots with the Occupy thing? I seem to recall it being mostly quiet (and completely ineffectual).
Possible explanation: (Note: I am not saying this is what happened in any specific case, merely that it is plausible.)

Police are on a common radio channel and coordinate their actions. Protesters aren't. If one protester takes violent action, most protesters may be unaware but all police will be. What you see as an unprovoked, violent response may actually have been provoked by something you simply weren't close enough to witness.

This explanation is pure speculation. However, if true, it does prompt us to ask if police can find ways to localize their responses better. i.e. If violent response is necessary in a specific location, is there a way to make police relatively far from that location aware of it without signalling imminent personal danger to them, thereby priming them to over-respond to whatever is happening at their location?

e.g. Instead of just hearing "They've pulled out knives!" over the radio, they might have a corresponding heads-up display showing where that message came from and where they themselves are in relation to that.
I think everyone agrees they don't like violent policing. I think as per usual both sides will disagree about what the solution should be.
If there was an app that can be used to identify the DA, mayor, chief of police, congressman and senator(state and federal) of a police abuse of power incident and pester them with complaints, that would be useful.

Or help people vote by sending them alerts for their area to vote out politicians that took no or little action when such an event occured.

A harder challenge would be to counter-monitor police including stingrays and aerial attacks. Both offensive and defensive tools would be useful.
What do you search for mostly? Would a vertical search engine work for you?
I hope you reconsider this design decision.

What is the value in federation if people can come away with different opinions as to what was said in a conversation? Eg. for example a $$ contract negotiation and an attacker using something like a msg replay attack that gives different sides different views of what the contract value is.

Edit: Or does federation mean proxying & replication in this case?
Are those new issues due to P2P? I've been using riot for some time last year and everything seemed to "just work". Was I lucky, or did it get worse?
I think the average American probably has close to a 1 in 500 chance of dying of corona virus in the next two years (although that’s not evenly distributed by age to say the least). That’s assuming 20% of people catch it and I think that’s fairly conservative.
You have to deploy 3-4 services to run your own with Docker, right? Synapse, Riot, Jitsi, etc?
I've seen about 5 deaths attributed to this. Rioting and looting leads to deaths on a big enough scale, no doubt.
If you sell something in return for coins, and the network could agree on a fork of history in which you never received those coins, not all your balance is safe. Either you trust the network operator(s) not to accept a fork, or you trust the implementation to make a winning fork infeasibly expensive (51% of all miners).
You can login to a tty terminal and run your program that way. Ctrl + Alt + F1-F5 on linux.
To add to on-screen text - Calibri, Bahnschrift and Roboto have come out as my personal favorites. Of course some people prefer serif to non-serif and that's completely a subjective choice as well.
You're correct, that's my mistake — it is the effective tax rate.

Doesn't change the argument, the point of the exercise is to show the absolute worst case. This math assumes:

1) 0 overlap with existing programs, which is extraordinarily unlikely. A transfer of $29,000 to a recipient of EITC/CTC and Medicaid is a pretty stupid waste of money. We would either reduce the UBI required (thereby reducing the taxes to the level I laid out in my top-most comment), or we would do away with many of the welfare programs that we already pay taxes for.

2) preservation of existing level of transfer payments to a demographic that is, on average, the richest

3) 0 other taxes. My math assumes an imaginary world in which we do not levy payroll taxes, which account for 35% of the current Federal revenue. That is a world which does not exist, and hence the income tax wouldn't have to be this high.

4) 0 distinction between adults and children — I.e should a family of 4 receive $29,000*4 == $116,000? Absolutely not, this is a comically generous UBI.

The point is that you can take the framework and play with different levels of generosity and different levels of progressivity in the tax brackets. The fundamental basis for the system doesn't change.
Farmers are rich, though, and they're doing fine for labor. The trade war hit them worse by tanking pork prices.

For working class people, neoliberal economics have done nothing for them. Plants in town have closed and they don't see any investment in their community from their tax dollars.

If neither party is going to look out for you, it's perfectly rational to sigh and pick the one that at least doesn't villainize you as some sort of oppressor.

If the democrats want to win back the white union vote, they need to actually offer something besides "vote for us or you're racist". I guess there's always 2024.
I don't remember hearing anything about police dispersing those crowds with tear gas. I wonder why.
Well yes, it seems obvious to me that an in person interaction is more authentic. But I'm open to being proven wrong. Why would you argue that a social media feed would be more genuine?
Edit: scratch this, forgot about the ‘HN Enhancement’ extension.

I see Helvetica Neue with fallback to Arial, and I checked that it's not my CSS.

Verdana is pretty crappy for texts of even a comment length, as it's wide as heck. I have to hack it out with CSS on sites that I use regularly, or the eye gets tired in minutes.
So logically you would welcome Trump sending troops to end the looting?

It's not horrible advice, and none of the links is helpful if you want to achieve the stated goal in the article: Simply distributing a binary.

It's completely fine to package them in a deb. You especially should know that debs are really simple and work quite well for that. You place the binary along with the needed resource files (configuration for example) in the relative directory structure, add a minimal amount of meta information, and call one command to create the .deb. Easy and fast, and the result is very reliable, it will work everywhere.

And then you have the official way of abstraction over abstraction, "explained" with completely unreadable documentation, needing a dozen helper tools and environment variables, guided by documentation that fails to explain even just the basics of what it is you'd actually do if you followed that documentation.

No, the simple way shown by the submitted article is exactly correct.

Start with that. If it works, then you maybe take the next step later and set up a PPA, assuming the deb is not only for yourself.

You imply that as being somehow virtuous. It would be impossible to not be open about that.
Those (almost) all do reasonably well where most “minimalist” sites fail, accessibility. Many developers seem to get a kick out of “not caring about design”, as some sort of point of pride, but at the same time put in just enough CSS to screw over the visually-disabled.

HN, for instance, can’t be zoomed in iOS.

Also, the above macwright cuts off the titles to make room for the Dates, so to me the site looks like:

This analysis misses altcoin mining. When mining adjusts on BTC, miners don't just turn off their rigs. They can go mine altcoins. This behavior introduces another dimension to mining economics. Miners are practical. They have to make money with their hardware and electricity. They can't afford to be ideological.

In the Bitcoin mining world (SHA256), miners like to have BCH, BSV and other alternatives. Altcoins allows them to diversify. That's why these chains will never die. They always have mining support.
And those same people wouldn't answer a text message or pick up the phone if you called them?
Right - so I think we are in agreement: Prices will rise, but purchasing-power of the average citizen will almost certainly increase (that is what I attempted to show by the poorly-written second paragraph).

> In 1997, it took 1,768 hours of work at the median wage to purchase a Dodge Caravan. In 2018, it took just 1,396 hours of work, and the quality of the Dodge Caravan has also increased in that time!

Interesting!
In the granting of usage rights it is usually included that the employer will have exclusive usage rights as well (dependent on wording).

I don't know about the exact implications for creating very similar future work (what you would call "infringing copyright") though.

The HCQ thing is a complete shit show, it has been politicized to the point where everyone pretty much just says whatever they want about it. It might be helpful as a prophylactic or with milder cases (when used in smaller doses). Other studies gave higher doses to severely ill patients and it did not help. Anyway, not trying to start another argument over this, but there is a vigorous argument still going on. A couple hundred professionals signed this open letter: https://zenodo.org/record/3871094

I'm curious, what could be made out of a processor in the order of 4000 transistors as here, but with entirely modern chip design and fabrication tech? What could you put out on TSMC's 7nm, presumably an extremely small wafer.
The shorter version is that opt-out exists so the people that care don't get angry. If the percent of people who opt-out becomes non-negligible it will cease to be opt-out.
There is absolutely no need for emergency services to track pop-up protests, the very notion is absurd.

We don't have the right to block traffic to promote our political opinions.

When protestors block traffic, if the city decides they have to go, and they won't - in those situations, it's the protesters who are 'instigating', not the police.

NRA 2cnd amendment protestors, pro/anti-abortion protestors, anti-capitalist - whatever we want it doesn't matter. If the protest violates the local or regional ordinance, and the city asks protesters to move (and they do in many cases allow the protesters to stay) - they have to move, if they don't move, it's not the police's fault that they are literally required by us, the community, to move people.

Edit: I would like to invite anyone to define exactly under what conditions people think they have the right to stop traffic at major intersections for hours on end, other than of course signalling to the city beforehand.
I don't disagree with this from a design point of view (I'm not a designer), but I can't stand the modern web thing of "I'm using a fancy custom font, so you'll see website load and then flash over to the correct font after a second or two". In an attempt to use a slick font we've made things look really janky. But I guess it's not the designer's FOUT...
We have a publicly accessible dictionary online for CS terms (as well as generalized IT terms) in Icelandic but more often then not, people have no idea what I am talking about if I even attempt to use any of them in any type of communication.

Most if not all Icelandic terms in the CS vocabulary are created from our own langue (through combination of other words or by generating new ones) rather then adopting them from foreign language.

This makes the usage of them rather limited in such a small society, so most people in the CS community aren't even exposed to them.

Wait... isn't it worse than that? If I buy enough hashpower to have a measurable effect on the price, shouldn't the price be driven down, by the increased supply? Thus an ASIC farm is worse than a raspberry pi, at least as far as the effect on price goes.

(But, isn't there some majority attack? So maybe I want an ASIC farm as a way to protect my investment...)

Start loving yourself.

The point I'm trying to argue, poorly, is that implementing a feature where you can right-click and explicitly choose to download something a bit faster is... probably not worth the sheer amount of arguing for "integrate IPFS into Matrix" that I've seen at every turn, for the past few years. People largely seem to want IPFS because IPFS is their pet project, not for any particular edge that it'll give Matrix, and alternative solutions are dismissed out of hand.

Even before p2p Matrix was announced, people turned up in #matrix-dev every week and argued that Matrix should replace its existing, functional file sharing system with IPFS, but could never come up with a reason to put in the work.

Sharing multi-gigabyte files with groups of people in a public way is, yes, maybe something some people do, but if IPFS was uniquely suited for this and the integrated system was deficient, wouldn't people be posting IPFS links in rooms all the time right now, and be able to talk about why they're doing this? Then it'd be a lot clearer that this is a thing people actually want to do and maybe setting up a button to do it in fewer clicks would be worth it.
You can find an report on the contact tracing app published by the Austrian Red Cross on this site:
https://noyb.eu/en/report-red-cross-corona-app-reviewed-noyb

Note that their app was released quite early, specifically before Apple and Google announced their contact tracing plans, and media reports indicate they want to start using those APIs in the first half of June, which will be a major change.

My department at Johannes Kepler University Linz also published an analysis of the NOVID20 SDK(https://novid20.org) when the code for that was first released:

The media didn't document the crime. It was ordinary people with smartphones.
> There has got to be an easier way to verify someone is in fact a human.

Yeah, there is, digital signatures. Estonia started with it's digital signatures back in early 2000s, a physical signature is practically considered caveman-tier tech. Just recently the EU created the eIDAS regulation.

I really can't predict how long it'll take for the US to catch up though :/
If there was a mobile contact tracing app that used AGPS with accuracy down to ~1m maybe it would be useful?

Existing contact tracing apps use Bluetooth which can't be used to determine proximity with any reliability - solid objects (particularly human bodies) absorb significant signal.

Unless all protestors were holding their phones up high for unimpeded line-of-site connections then even protestors next to each other could 'appear' 20-30m away.

In most cases (especially in a protest situation) all Bluetooth-based contact tracing apps can tell you is that two devices are in Bluetooth range (so accuracy of ~30m?).
Do you consider Obama an "internet Rando?"

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/apr/14/barackobama.us...

Obama was caught in an uncharacteristic moment of loose language. Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said: "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

For a few months I've been kicking around the idea of making a mario clone using this. You boot the machine and you just get the game.

EDIT: for 2D graphics, you can blit sprites in with the CPU. GPUs are mainly useful for 3D graphics, physics and raytracing. Also, I made a mario clone in Unity and Unity felt like overkill.
P.S. Why should I be obsessed that people know every detail of my life? I kind of would prefer that they don't know every detail of my life. That strikes me as pretty narcissistic to be blunt. I would strongly prefer to not base my self worth on what people perceive of my online persona.
Unfortunately, development of the DejaVu fonts stalled years ago. There are still some typographic infelicities that could be ironed out, and its Unicode coverage basically stopped at where Unicode was in the early millennium.
This has been true for years. Decades? That people are still surprised about it astounds me.

All excellent ideas. Unfortunately I think a Federal LVT would require a Constitutional amendment, but nothing stopping us from doing this at the State level.
The problem with hub and spoke is that the hubs hold the social graph and then become the target for censorship. I don't think there are any techniques employed by Matrix to mitigate that threat at this time (please correct me if I'm wrong).

In short, if you have a small network (under 10k nodes), I think P2P can work, but for networks of large scale (>10k nodes) I think you need hub and spoke, at which point the routing nodes in the center are the lynchpin. You can use some kind of mixnet tech to try to get around this, but that increases latency and computational overhead, thus lowering throughput. You can go the Signal route and throw the graph in an enclave, but there's still side-channel analysis (which is the thing that mixnets are trying to deal with, albeit I can't comment on their efficacy). Harry over at Nym has some cool ideas here.

I am not sure that spanning trees or gossip protocols solve the problem I'm describing, but, if they do, I'd appreciate if you could elucidate further.

Edit: Yes, I agree that N to N routing networks don't scale well. I think a K of N broadcast network can scale, but it's a tricky UX tradeoff.
Pentkovsky joined Intel when they were developing Pentium III.
If you don't think it's easy to construct rules that differentiate between clearly official pronouncements regarding major diplomatic shifts, and bloviating support for obviously racist state-sanctioned violence against individual citizens, then I would humbly submit this to be a failure of imagination.
"have labeled protesters "thugs" and "looters" "

Referring to looters as 'looters' is not problematic.

Calling for shootings, using code-words like 'thugs' and referring to peaceful protesters as 'looters' is a problem - but let's not lose context here: there are riots and rioters are bad news.

I think in these ugly times it's even more important to be cool and clear about things.
Self inflicted? They've been having massive lag spikes at the same time range every weekday. After a couple hours it seems to settle down.
Is there a guide on doing things that way? I've read some of the guides for making .deb packages (as I had to do so recently) and I have to be honest, what I encountered was "messy", articles and documentation that would work if followed but they didn't look even slightly similar.

I'm too embarrassed to even link to the sources that I created.
I found a really good new font recently which I'm going to be using in place of Baskerville and Times New Roman, my two go-to serif fonts. It's called Literata[1], and it (to me at least) conveys this really nice professional, formal look, which approximates what I feel when I open a printed book, but on the screen. There's something to it that's hard to describe that I really like (also the italics is very good imo).
