I'm not assuming that at all. My model is extremely simplified so it would fit into a comment, but it doesn't need to be that simple for the general idea to hold.

Suppose you pirated a thousand games and would've legitimately purchased one. Your piracy then represents a theft of one game. Since there's no way to tell which one game you would've bought, we could simplify it to say that stole one one thousandth of a game from each publisher (assuming they were all unique publishers).

In reality, I think it's really hard to know what you would've done without access to piracy. It's almost certainly not "buy all the games" but it's also probably not "buy zero games".

I also pirated a lot of things when I was in college - partly because it was cheaper, and I was very cheap, and partly because it was easier than actually getting some things. One thing I try to do is separate my own personal bias (it can't be bad because I did it) from what seems like the clear harm and moral reasoning I laid out above. You're taking from the publishers, even if only small values, and if everyone did what you did, publishing couldn't exist as a business.

I think it makes sense that poor people would steal more frequently. They need to. It also makes sense that younger people would steal more frequently - they are less mature, think less about others, and less about the consequences. Given that, it doesn't surprise me that you and I both pirated more while younger. That said, even though it makes sense, that doesn't mean it's right.
Why are conservatives so hell bent on equating violence against inanimate objects (property, monuments) with violence against other humans?

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING.
Setting aside money as "pandemic" is a problem. Setting aside money for "emergency" helps reduce impact.

A lot of good software business will move to the EU in my opinion the next four years.
You can somewhat train it as well through getting better at drawing.
From the wiki: "The phrase ANSI character set has no well-defined meaning and has been used to refer to the following, among other things"

So if you are thinking of CP-437 or Windows-1252 I suppose that's fair, but generally in the context of terminal apps "ANSI" without qualification refers to the escape sequences.

Now I am curious though, did ANSI the standards body have any official character encoding standards?
Isn't Pico the usual default?
It was there, and it was (and still is) good enough.
What if they physically resist such an action? Or continue to drive without a license? Eventually you'll end up enforcing the penalty for speeding with either force and likely to include a jail sentence if they resist to the point that force is needed.

That the crime on record changes names does not detract from the originating crime being a minor traffic violation.
You've mentioned this before but as far as I am aware there are no chips shipping with MTE, and the links you provided don't support this point either. Even if MTE somehow starts shipping tomorrow I cannot see Google dropping support for every device that is older or cheaper than the one flagship that'll use it.
Closer to the extortion end of the gradient. I don't like to think of adjectives as binary on/off. IMO, they're fuzzy bell curves, overlapping with each-other, with plenty of space in between.

Calling this a "service" would also be a hyperbole I think. It's somewhere in between.
That one seems like a good one. Where can I go to zipline in my area...
There are many other digital archives, and that is how the "single point of failure" problem you envisage is solved.

The Internet Archive is AFAIK the biggest, and the first - the important thing is for others to continue its good work (many have done this for years) - and not for us to rely too much on it or any other single archiving initiative.
Yes, and I believe both GCM and APNS perform cross-app notification coalescing, whereby a low priority notification (e.g. a news article, or some other content update) will picky-back on a high priority notification (incoming call, text message).

This is extremely valuable in reducing power usage.

(Notifications both exhibit radio usage, but also will typically turn on the display, which is a huge battery sink)
If a majority of police are in fact suppressing evidence of wrongdoing, then it would be difficult to prove, because statistics that rely on police reporting are going to be rather suspect.
USA Today says that policing is the 18th most dangerous job in the US.

What makes police injuries and deaths notable from other occupations is that “The most common cause of workplace fatalities among police officers is direct violence from other people”.

It is not just a risky job in general, it is a risky job due to people that would intentionally do them harm, done in service of their community. Everyone is a regular person, but that is why people generally regard police as heroic.

In fact, police are expected to act heroically when the situation calls for it. The Parkland officer who didn’t enter the school during the shooting, caught on tape remaining outside while shots were fired, was rightly condemned as not fit for duty.

Probably something like spacemacs.
I never said they were sales. I explicitly differentiated them from sales. They are potential sales, valued at YX and potential sales are what you lose. A sale has a value of X dollars.
Fine, but there is nothing at all invalid about my argument, because all I argued is that infringing copyrights is defined as stealing property under US law. That's not even an argument; it's simply a statement of fact. Unless you're talking about my statement that musings about how it shouldn't be considered stealing are irrelevant to the fact that it is, which is also not an argument, just a statement of fact. (Those musings are misguided as well as irrelevant, but I didn't advance any argument about them being misguided.)
But this still relies on someone to curate, no?

If you have an in-progress discussion that's still finding its way, that's not going to happen. And the curators may or may not have their own agenda.

Perhaps technical discussions are just messy because the problems are messy and don't have obvious solutions.

In the context of Rust, the bigger problem, IMO, is that things that aren't Mozilla/Firefox driven don't get driven to conclusion/completion. The discussion simply peters out with no resolution and then remains open indefinitely (look at how many issues from Rust 1.0 are still open with no conclusion, discussion or resolution.)
> Sasson’s camera [in 1974] was a kluge of components. He salvaged the lens and exposure mechanism from a Kodak XL55 movie camera to serve as his camera’s optical piece. The CCD would capture the image, which would then be run through a Motorola analog-to-digital converter, stored temporarily in a DRAM array of a dozen 4,096-bit chips, and then transferred to audio tape running on a portable Memodyne data cassette recorder. The camera weighed 3.6 kilograms, ran on 16 AA batteries, and was about the size of a toaster.
I agree with you in terms of implementation. But having used Windows 1 for a while and reading about Arthur/RISCOS at the time my impression was that the user experience was similar. If I had been able to actually try RISCOS I might have had a different opinion.

While Windows 1 tiles might have been due to wanting to avoid upsetting Apple (though in terms of APIs and resource management it was mostly a copy) there were those who preferred tiles like With's Oberon (which I also used at the time, along with GEM and Geos).
Yes, we agree. What I meant is I'd have a verb that creates and returns some kind of "ReportContext" object, which sends back an "id" which I can then query status of later, for example. But no REST.

My point is that the entire endpoint would be mostly verbs (like runReports) and use only the HTTP POST to communicate. So I'm "ignoring" the fact that it's running over HTTP, I would ignore every "rule" of REST, because REST offers nothing but hurdles to jump over.
Unless time machines are involved, I would rather say that Lua is heavily influenced by awk :)
I don't know enough about economic modeling, but if the models can somehow be expressed as driven by a "potential" and a "flow" variable (like electric voltage and electric currents), then it would definitely make sense to try that out in Modelica.
The differences are not pedantic at all. The differences are extremely significant.

The VW engineers designed the car to do different thing while being tested vs used by consumers. While being tested, the emissions system was on. While being used by consumers, the emission system was entirely disabled.

The water heater engineers designed the water heater to do the same thing while being tested vs used by consumers.

If the water heater engineers designed the water heater to never turn on and keep the water at room temperature while being tested, ("works good boss, water heater efficiency is infinity percent") then yes, it would be reasonable to claim they did essentially the same thing.
jq is to cloud and "Infrastructure as Code" software what grep and awk are to unix software. It's the glue that lets you combine the pieces into a system. It's an odd language though, and not that easy to master. Tutorials like this one are helpful and needed... Thanks, Tyler!

However, there are quite a few typos in the examples... even the very first one is missing a quote and won't parse if cut-and-pasted as is.
I like the service in general ok, but YouTube TV has the worst DVR interface I've ever used. It's worse even than any of the shitty one-off cable company boxes.

For $65/month, it would be nice to at least have a decent interface. Google pls buy Tivo and incorporate that.
> So the probability of me paying for any significant portion of the games I pirated was effectively 0

It was literally 1 in 10.

Which is a very long way from 0%.
AFAIK it still tries to stay mostly compatible with regards to how it is controlled, doesn't it? So while the internals are perhaps new, the frontend is not.

But I think Kakoune https://kakoune.org would fit the bill
I've been loving vis¹, a hybrid between traditional vi and sam², a text editor Rob Pike designed from close to scratch.

(Edit) I learned vim a little bit over a year ago, switched to neovim soon after, tried kakuone for a few days and didn't like losing so much muscle memory because of the verb-noun order reversal, switched to vis a few months ago and don't plan to switch back.

People have been trying to get the City, State, and federal government to acknowledge system racism for CENTURIES.

It doesn't work.

Protests and destruction may work.

You are showing that you are more committed to order than to justice, because it benefits you.

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
While this price change is certainly impactful, I wanted to see if my experience is universal.

Does the swipe behavior in the iOS Youtube TV app (and only the Youtube TV app) drive you crazy? It's the only app where it will consistently move two tiles with the same force any other app requires for one. After about a day of the free trial I gave up because it was that frustrating.
Because nobody knows how to quit
Agreed. While logical fallacies are useful to teach people to avoid critical thinking pitfalls they are not useful to sift through the merits of arguments.
in TRS-80 BASIC, you could go `EDIT 100` and bring up a line 100 in a line editor, vi sort of reminded me of that when I was learning it something like 25 years ago. It is still my main code editor.
I’ve always been a bit disgusted by the blind faith put into Bitcoin, the tribalism that comes with the newest Blockchain project, and now the obsession over consensus when it’s really not the end all be all. The sustainability and energy concerns are too much for me. Regardless of if the energy needs of Bitcoin possibly promote the growth of renewable energy, it is still wasted resources and energy when there are more efficient solutions.

On top of the promise the cult of bitcoin see, most in the crypto sphere are just looking to get rich quick and get defensive because they are so invested in bitcoin or abc crapcoin instead of what made all of this interesting in the first place, decentralization, no central point of control or failure, trust-less, P2P, privacy and security.

I am extremely excited to see a principled company such as Maidsafe take the lead and blazing the trail to freedom by adopting such an innovation. Best of luck and I hope others see the potential past their bitcoin/blockchain goggles.
It's a great visualization --

I would suggest, though, that some contour lines (or translucent shells?) might help make the point more apparent to someone trying to learn about the shapes (which I suppose is the point).

After all, the point is to grasp something visual about it, and just vaguely discernible clouds of points don't probably convey that sufficiently, although they are accurate of course.
> The vast majority of police are heroes.

Citation very much needed.
Emacs + vim really are the peanut butter and chocolate of getting stuff done.
Anecdote from my grandmother. She said the local doctor back in the 20's had a story about med school. Helped out on an autopsy of an old Chinese sailor who spent most of his life on sailing ships. His professor pointed out that the mans lungs were pinkish and asked the students what condition might have caused that unusual condition. Ans: Man hadn't spent his life breathing smoke.

That cost is nearly double it's original price 3y ago, and looking at the recent channel additions -- I'm not sure the users will be convinced it's worth the extra cost. I wish someone would have a selection like:

$5 - one channel

$7 - two channels

$10 - five channels

$20 - fifteen channels (you pick)

$50 - 40 channels (we pick)

$50 + $15 - 40 channels (the $50 package), plus <package B>
I don’t think you have an argument against the banning of the YouTube channel, more of a call to hypocrisy. I think these are two separate issues and you should not be conflating them.
>imposing more costs on people who never chose to use drugs but suffer from many harms of the black market, we have achieved a morally dubious redistribution.

That point could be expanded into a million more. All of the money flowing into the black market creates intense violence and crime, more violence than drug use creates. Instead of preventing self harm, it creates piles of innocent victims, caught in the collateral damage of war between parties empowered by their respective benefits gained by prohibition.
Responsibility Is a Key Motivator. Not Money, Perks, or Other Incentives
Looks neat! Will this ever be something that we can run locally (similar to the GraphQL Playground)?
Yes, but you're talking about what VW did vs what Sun did, but the person you're replying to is talking about what VW vs what a company that makes a water heater does.

I agree that what Sun did is very similar to what VW did, with the exception that VW's increased emissions (statistically speaking) killed people, and what Sun did likely had no health impact on anybody except a few hurt paychecks.
Many people depend on their businesses to provide for their livelihoods. They may be put on the streets if their business is burnt down during a riot. Will you be there to help them pay to rebuild or to help them rehome themselves?
This is key. For the sake of argument, let’s assume that unarmed protestors are being very aggressive towards police, even ignoring orders to disperse or follow curfew. Perhaps they are even verbally threatening police!

Should this give police authority to use violent force to retaliate? (E.g. pepper spray, rubber bullets, fists, etc)

In my opinion, no. I realize that legally, police are protected in these scenarios. Hell, most folks understand that. That’s what people are protesting for: they want the legal system to change.

As a society, I think we morally accept using force in self defense (for example, using pepper spray on an assaulter). We accept it even if someone’s life isn’t actually in danger. Should we accept the same from police? I doubt it. We should hold the protectors of the law to higher standards than common citizens, right? I myself might not fully understand the law and will be acting on my emotional response if I use force in self defense. But police officers should have the training to understand much better when lives are actually in danger. They should have techniques to handle situations like this without violence.

These videos show that whether or not the police were acting out of self defense or within the boundaries of the law, they are still using serious force on unarmed citizens. This is not ok whether or not the citizens are in the right.

The root of the problem is the police force. Even if people are acting in a aggressive, rebellious way against police, they are doing so because of decades of improper use of police force. If we want to change the situation, people must feel safe around police. It’s not just “were police legally right,” it’s “do people feel safe in their own communities.” Clearly not, and we must make changes to help people feel safe. To aid with that, police should be much less powerful, since abuse stems from power.

We should all get behind these changes because police brutality is dangerous to everyone, and especially dangerous to minority communities.
on more consumer grade distros I've had to `export EDITOR=vi` before to get vi to come up for things like `crontab -e` and for `git` messages. But it is the default on most systems I've come across personally.
"Divorce doesn't indicate a lack of commitment. It results from incompatibility."

"Poor scholarship isn't a lack of effort. It is bad grades."

"Incest is not a sexual perversion. It is an alternative sexuality."

This (except for the last) is the way the Left thinks.

The fact of the matter is that some poverty IS due to a lack of character. Bad grades are often the result of a lack of effort. Incest is an alternative sexuality -- that IS perverted.

You can't just define away short comings. I am all for compassion and mitigating circumstances, but not for dishonesty.
We also need to understand that a subset of vi features is part of the POSIX standard, so any POSIX system will need to have "vi". vim is the logical choice there.

So as a result vim has become the reference implementation for the POSIX vi featureset.
When the entire force quit (their duties, not quitting taking a salary) over their coworkers being charged for pushing a elderly man onto the pavement and walking away as he bleeds out of his ears unconscious, then it's 59/59 cops who aren't heroes.

When reporting police misconduct internally is met with being charged with filing a false report and being kicked off the force, or being committed to an institution until you can talk to someone you trust who can leak a recording to the press, yes it is the vast majority police upholding this system that are not heroes.

When in my city, the only cop to be reprimanded was the one stupid enough to instagram post "let's start a riot", but not the others attacking press and attacking peaceful bystanders, sending the institutional message that brutality is OK but you have to keep your mask on wrt to social media, yes the represent a system of institutional oppression.

I love YouTube TV and have been a customer since it was $35 a month. Their UI and digital DVR feature are unparalleled. But I agree with the other post where it’s quickly becoming cable. They’re adding one channel I remotely care about and jacking up the price. I wouldn’t mind if I had a choice between all the price tiers they have offered in the past, but I don’t see myself sticking with the service.
Ask HN: Would You Go to the Doctor Right Now?
I have a minor doctor visit I need to make that's probably nothing serious but there's a small chance it could be. It's something that has to be looked at in-person, so I can't just do a remote appointment.

But I'm also in Texas and we're having a COVID spike right now. I'm thinking about just waiting a couple weeks to see if there will be another dip, but if there isn't then the virus situation will be a couple weeks' worse with potentially no end in sight.

What would you do? Do you think we'll keep having a seesaw effect as restrictions are lifted and then re-instituted over and over, or do you think a lot of people are just done quarantining for good?
Comcast is $10 per TV (unless you’re cool with Roku) and the cord-cutter apps have good support on a bunch of different devices you can plug into your TV. I think Hulu still wins unless you want all of the channels.

Elon musk is a counter example to your theory.
My point is that it's a technicality. On the surface, legally, these countries are not officially occupied by the US. But if any of these countries tried kicking the US out... what do you think would happen?
>If the police were blameless here, they have lots of tools to clear their name.

Is it true though? I saw police actions that looked bad on video, but having been on the scene earlier that day I knew the context that cast it in a very different light. And yet no counter-evidence was published. They did not clear their name, despite being in the right (or much more right than the video shown).
I really want to give spacemacs a try, but unfortunately I've just been using traditional emacs for far too long. vi does seem to have a much better editing model than emacs. The tools Emacs has for buffer navigation and editing have always struct me as incredibly primitive.
To me at least, the answer is and always has been: speed.
I have seen nano to be the default for most debian and fedora derived distributions from early 2000s. Not sure if things changed in late teens. Or maybe I am misremembering things.
One difference being that the public does not, to my knowledge, pay six figure pensions to protestors (If they do, I might consider a change of career).

And, if caught, protestors are being held legally accountable (as well they should), while police officers, even after egregious misconduct, often get reinstated:
