> If I'm an educator and I want to select parts of a work to present in class, usually I'd want to view the whole work and select the pieces from that. That's how it'd work when using a traditional library.

> Is this basically what they are suggesting here? They are supplying the copies, and it's up to the users whether or not they break the law from there?

Copyright doesn't work like that - the party who makes the copy is the one who does the infringing.

If you want to use a traditional library analogy, what IA did was basically photocopy a bunch of books and put them on the shelf for patrons to check out.
> They had no input on how it is displayed

To rephrase that, they had no control over whether the result of their action is legal or illegal.

They did it anyway.

In this scenario, one should verify the result of one's action.

In any case, this is bonkers! But it probably feels that way because social media has conditioned us to take other people's work and do whatever we want to it and with it.

Still down for 1k-2.5k customers, no ETA for a fix. ):
The whole question is frankly deeply stupid on so many levels. First off it is push pollingly worded to get directly contradictory groups (those conplaining about too much and too moderation) while pushing a clear agenda. Second the very concept is meaningless. What is a proper level of influence for social media? It can't even be defined. It only leads to intellectual abominations like obscenity and know it when I see it which leads to "Whatever the fuck the person in power wants narcicistically imposed upon all."
These mods are so much fun, and easy enough for determined kids, or adults. Takes me back to my MechAssault softmod OG Xbox, in which I replaced the dashboard with XBMC (now commonly known as Kodi, yes that Kodi[1]), and had to setup ftp to do most of that and the rest, including dumping my OG HDD encryption keys to replace the drive, hot plugging the OG optical drive to dump the firmware for that and patch it, re-assemble, and then add my network shares for network attached saves, game backups, etc.

I almost forgot the part where I had to splice a USB extension cord to an Xbox controller extension cord, twice. Once to format the USB stick as an Xbox memory stick, and the other direction to transfer the MechAssault game save exploit to the Xbox-formatted flash drive with some Game Genie type software that is “free with purchase of the hardware” which you just made at home from spare parts.

Xbox controllers and memory cards have been USB devices since forever. That’s a neat quirk, and potential exploitation vector. Lots of legacy code and edge cases, the specs (which one you want lol) are pretty dense reading. People make mistakes. Be safe while modding, on that note!

Completely wrong analogy.

Critical theorists just want to shut down any kind of debate whose conversation does not fit their worldview. I don't think we need examples here.

On the other hand, there are many opponents of critical theory that are genuinely interested in debate, and in comparing their worldview with different ideas.

It's safer and easier to blame structural racism than to look at multi factor reasons.

Partly because to deny structural racism is itself racist therefore strengthening ones case innately, but mainly because as it does really exist so there would always be some influence and something that's in the news right now so it's a fashionable concept to attach any blame on.

Also it gives good social credit to mention it in case people with power over ones career or future question one. It really is a no brainer, we should use it more often.

I'm not being sarcastic here, the benefits of blaming structural racism for complex causes far exceeds any costs of not doing so.
You're right "little black men" isn't quite analogous, I couldn't think of a first name that as obviously belongs to a specific race as "Karen" is obviously female. A sibling comment gave a great example of "Mohammed", but instead of their example imagine that Mohammed was being used exactly like Karen, just for someone unnecessarily obstructive. And then someone uses it claiming, oh no, just because I used that name doesn't mean that it's meant to refer to Muslim or Arab people necessarily. Oh really? It was just a total coincidence? Come on, clearly not. Yes, it wouldn't claim that all people in that group have that personality type, or vice versa, but it would heavily imply that there's a strong link.

You could argue that Karen was chosen over Steve or Jeff purely by coincidence because obviously 50% of people are female so why shouldn't it be a female name? Actually a technical author I really like, who doesn't like the singular "they", solves the problem by just using the pronoun "she" for every unspecified person ("if the reader doesn't believe this theorem she can check it herself..."), which I think is fantastic... why not use she over he? But the fact this is so surprising is exactly because it is so unusual. It is, sadly, the default, to use male pronouns and names for things, so when a female name comes up it usually has a connotation (although I just gave an exception). Whether you mean it or not, using "Karen" for someone with that type of personality type heavily suggests that women are more likely to be like that.

That is all already true without an additional fact: historically, it is sadly a stereotype that women's opinions are more petty and unimportant than men's. The use of the word "Karen" for someone with unimportant, ill-informed opinions is directly playing into an existing stereotype. And it is totally avoidable.
People that have overcome difficulty can end up lacking empathy for those who haven’t.

Speculation, but: I'd bet they don't say this to get diversity hires, they say this to get left hires. Tech skews left, but not minority. (Asians, as we all know, don't count.) If you try but can't hire minorities, nothing particularly bad happens as long as you have tokens somewhere in a visible role. If you try but can't hire leftists, because your signalling is insufficiently woke, you have a problem.
I posted this before I'd looked at the pricing.. Dev is ~$14/month, which is pretty good, but production is "call me" pricing - I am not a fan of that pricing model :/

This isn't "Native American", it is Inuit. I am actually not sure which Inuit, but it is unhelpful to use such a blanket designation as "native american". Using that term would be like reading a book about Irish dancing and then telling someone you read a book about "European dancing", or reading a French cook book and declaring your love for "European cuisine". One day the same awareness, knowledge, and respect afforded to the nations and people groups of Europe will be afforded to those on Turtle Island. Not using the label "native american" when the focus or topic is a specific nation is a good start.

I have no sympathies for people like that; they live risk-free and can live comfortably off their parents' money. A lot of the role models / founders / Trump got kickstarted into their career because of money from parents + the social safety net they offered.

If you have nothing, and if your parents have nothing, you can't risk it on a new venture.

You need to stop referring to women as "females".
I don't mean to put words in OP's mouth, they may think exactly as you've described, but I think the issue is less of a character flaw and more about being sort of trapped at work.

If part of your identity is your workplace, perhaps that's fine? That can be hard for people to understand when they don't integrate their work into their identity though, and that could be the distaste.

And I agree with the spirit of your post, I believe. I think it's important for people to find their own methods for establishing an identity, but more importantly to teach everyone to recognize and respect alternative methods without trying to rail against them as you say.
It may be racist and sexist, but it is also true. Pretty much all rapists are men, but we don't let fear of sexism stop us from pointing this out. Likewise, Karen behaviour is found pretty much exclusively in (a small subset of) white (and Asian?) women. Nearly everybody who has worked retail can recognise the type and pretending it doesn't exist is not virtuous.
Your analogy assumes the problem is overconsumption of social media. But what about concentration? 3-4 companies control ~90% of global social media. I don't think people would be as worried if that control was spread more evenly across hundreds of smaller companies.

Which is precisely what for example Mapbox does - they allow consumers to specify a worldview, which adjusts borders and other geographic features based on the specified culture: https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/worldview/
But the example is poorly communicated. It's not clear whether the entire quoted portion is:

A) a hypothetical introduced by the idiom "Assume that..." (which introduces a statement of fact in the hypothetical situation), and we are discussing a scenario in which the coin is in fact fair, in which case Dr. John is correct and Fat Tony is committing the gambler's fallacy, or

B) a scenario in which a third-party tells someone that the coin is fair, but that is simply an assumption that should be updated by new evidence, in which case Dr. John would be committing the ludic fallacy.

The example isn't instructive because anyone reading this and thinking of scenario A isn't disputing the idea that, if this happened in reality, you should throw away the model. They're just interpreting the phrase "assume that" differently.
Regarding latency of AWS Lambda:

> on average the response took somewhere between from 200ms to 500ms

I'm getting latency of 66ms to 126ms with some simple Java code running on AWS Lambda using provisioned concurrency. I find the latency is just fine for most use cases.
A private Discord channel is the best social media.

You invite certain people, people can share things, text or even voice chat. You can curate, you have more control of what comes down stream.

There are some minor issues with your code that shows you are probably a verilog/SV guy and not an experienced VHDL guy.

Please read Andrew Rushtons "VHDL for Logic Synthesis". I also recommend you read on VHDLs 9-valued logic and why it was designed this way and how it differs from verilogs Bit.

Remotely Working: Dealing with social isolation
Privacy extensions means that every host on your network picks a random IP to make outbound connections from. They pick new random IPs periodically (by default usually after 24 hours), while keeping the old ones for a short period (by default usually 7 days) so that existing connections aren't broken. Rebooting or connecting to a new network will also remove the existing privacy addresses and generate new ones.

Remote servers will see the privacy address, but they won't know which machine the address belongs to. The addresses will also be abandoned after a maximum of a week, so you can't trawling through your old server logs to find active v6 addresses either.

They'll still be able to see what network you're coming from, but that's not something that NATing outbound connections from your network would help with anyway.
Try this experiment: take the opposing side in the "USA should be free to start all the wars it wants" argument, and try and get a discourse going on HN.

You will get censored into oblivion.

THAT is the undue and undeserved influence of social media today.
Huge and well-equipped? Why? I work at my dining table. It’s still better than going to the office. Also your office had a 3D printer and gym... you must realise your office is absurdly better than most people’s offices. Most people just have an open plan space full of irritating other people and maybe a pingpong table.
Or it could be that mental disorders compromise the ability to have perseverance. Given what we know about mental illness, this is the more likely.

That video reflects purely on skin colour and I feel that can be harmful. My skin is white but I'm descendant from the Australian Stolen Generation (google it if you want to see more). I was raised in a poor country town and I literally joined the military to escape that life. Compare that to the experience of this Youtuber. He was a golfer at 10 years of age... I don't even know how you could ask parents to spend that sort of money on you at that age. His story screams privilege (professional ultimate frisbee for one). I make decent money now since I used the military for a CS education but when I go shopping I choose to go to the low socioeconomic area. I don't fit in culturally at the upper middle class shopping centers. I don't dress the same, talk the same, hold the same values, etc. Not feeling like you don't fit in isn't just linked to race.

That being said, poor black African Americans (and
Aboriginal Australians) have horrible life outcomes, far worse than any I could expect. Second generation black immigrants from Nigeria and Ethopia have better life outcomes than the general US population so it's not just about skin colour. I feel that there is a whole host of intergenerational related issues impacting the African American community. In addition, I feel that mainstream culture is quite hostile to African American culture.
I agree. They create a really nice combined-source dataset and then get totally lost in some quasi-scientific and quasi-statistical narrative of models, indicators, p-values and possible effects that are not there in extended models. On top of it all they don't seem to notice the brittleness of their argument. It only holds for Hispanic women, but not for non-Hispanic whites? How would a pregnancy differ between those groups? I would imagine it doesn't and there are other factors in play. (Hint: little socioeconomic information taken into account, although source of insurance and smoking will pick some of that up.)

Without having touched the data I think they show that more flares mean slightly shorter gestation and birth weight. Show that. It's novel. Show it from three angles with different indicators. Prove that it's there. Is it not an artifact? What are other health indicators in those regions doing? Etc.

The conclusion reads as if you need to prove your possible wokeness in your tenure track. Sprinkle enough possibly and anything goes, even that which you haven't shown.
> Your work space still needs to be a space you only go in while working.

That's not universal. I love the ability to work on the sofa, in the garden, etc working from home.

I actually have an office space but I rarely use it. It's become my gadget/VR/storage room.
>At what point does it become an international issue?

The moment that one point of view is censored/repressed in order to perpetuate the majority.

Try it here on HN. You can't openly discuss America's wars without being heavily censored. That's not good for citizens of other countries who want to engage in cross-cultural discourse in order to understand why it is happening to them.
Exercise and sunlight before work has done wonders for my mental health while working from home.

> No matter how brilliant you are, many people would simply assume that you have been given the easy route thanks to daddy.

Probably still easier to pretend that you come from nothing than being successful while actually coming from nothing.
Right, but the study has nothing to do with this, because the question was not in real life, but about a fictional scenario.

"Assume you jump off a bridge. Would you be dead?"

"No, because I'd change my mind. What, you think I'd jump off a bridge because someone tells me to?"

"No, but I'd rather expect you'd assume it because I tell you, in the context of a hypothetical."
A Pile was the first type of battery [0] and you can still see this in French where la pile is a battery (or more strictly usually used to refer to a cell).

I would take a guess that they are drawing a distinction between rechargeable and disposable batteries.

What argument are you trying to make here? In an ideal world it would make no difference whatsoever.

You say that about zuck running for office but you've got Trump in that exact seat right now. He's forced to answer unscripted questions on TV and it makes no difference whatsoever. None.
But, you know, they could have treated NC A&T students with respect, just in case, especially given the general problems with the U.S. news rankings as a heuristic for hirability.
However, their lobbyists in DC will threaten to give the other guy or gal more money than they’ll give their regular congresscritters if they don’t play ball. This is not Schoolhouse Rock. Laws don’t exist. They’re memes that have force of law, and like all memes, laws are subject to mutation and deep frying, as well as appropriation and recontextualization.
> Just call someone what they are. "Asshole" has worked fine for millennia.

Except that Karens and assholes are different. Karens can be assholes, sure, but a Karen is a specific type of asshole. Football hooligans may be assholes but they're generally not Karens. It means something different, and there isn't another word that means the same thing.
Do you have some reference material I could read regarding these nationalist idiots from europe?

Cost of testing. You can get a good idea of someone's ability to do higher math in an hour with an IQ test. If instead you give them a test of higher math, you'd need to train them to do it first, which would take much, much longer. The added accuracy of that test won't make up for the several-orders-of-magnitude increase in cost.
France was in the grip of a year long Yellow Vest movement. Blood was spilled, bones were broken. This dumping on USA is getting tiring.

HK protesters, regardless of one's views on their political demands or the HK police response, were not simply "spraying grafitty" [sic] on buildings.

Facts are our friends these days.
At some point, the numbers of migrants will overwhelm any technology to detain them. The only option then will be to kill them. The will to commit mass murder will be harder to muster than the will to build a wall.

I'd be even more worried about a coming war. Latin America might not be able to mount a direct challenge to the United States, but an outside power could easily offer them a better deal than eternal poverty to take up arms for their side. Heck, the narcos are already well trained and equipped.

Climate change is a problem we can only build ourselves out of. Whether that's technology to eliminate CO2, or society building to create more stable power structures. (granted, there are some very cruel stable power structures).

The rich nations won't any longer be able to validly accuse the migrants of "not solving their own problems", since we caused it. The choices are genocide or building, and nations do behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.
If you don't want to install a 3rd party extension (maybe it seems like too much of a risk for such a frivolous purpose), then you can make your own. Just download hacker95.css and create a file called manifest.json in the same directory with these contents:

{
"name": "Hacker News 95 Extension",
"version": "1.0",
"description": "Hacker News 95 Extension",
"permissions": ["activeTab"],
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["https://news.ycombinator.com/*"],
"css": ["hacker95.css"]
}
],
"manifest_version": 2
}

Then in your Chrome Extensions settings, find the option to "Load unpacked extension" and point it to your directory.
This got me thinking. Consul is one of those infrastructure services that is generally deployed in a standard way, and most services that use it are relatively small, writing only a few configs and mainly using it to achieve HA. That makes hosting your own 3-5 node Consul cluster relatively expensive, simply because it requires 3-5 nodes.

Is there any interest here in a shared, multi-tenant, HA Consul cluster? (I know Consul doesn't support multi-tenant OOTB outside of Enterprise edition, but it should be possible to build a multi-tenant cluster by other means).

The idea would be that instead of paying to run your own 3-5 nodes, someone else would do it for you, but multiple tenants would use the same cluster - so you'd only pay something like $10/m instead of several times that.
