> What are the chances that you can clean room reverse engineer all of the software that has to be included with your game to allow it to run on any console?

I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that you don't actually need to do that to be legal. You just have to clean room reverse engineer the DRM. After that, anything you have legal access to, you can legally use.

You could just get past the DRM on the BluRay drive or SD card slot or whatever, and then assuming you have legal rights to use it, load up a full set of Unreal/Unity/Renderware/whatever middleware you want and be off to the races.

Again: This caselaw pre-dates always-on-DRM and Apple-angry-tantrum-responses stuff. So this stuff was 100% legal and clear in the PS2 / Xbox / GameCube days, when there was a clear separation between the two. Now that Apple has tried to muddy the water by pretending their DRM is a "platform" that "provides value", I suspect it will be easier to confuse folks
Could you compare to Superhuman?
Before 2000 we were spending ~$250B/y on defense budget. That alone would be $5T since 9/11.
I have blue-blocking tint on my glasses, it doesn't do much but blocks some of the harshest blue lights.

f.lux is on a whole other level and completely tints your screen

I love f.lux (and it's cousins) for two reasons:

1. when it's real late at night (usually b/c I'm getting paged at 4am), it's a godsend. I'm talking when it's so dark that even the lowest brightness setting is too bright, f.lux is a lifesaver

2. I have my flux setup to go orange at 6pm. This gives a not-so-subtle clue to my brain that work-time is over. It serves as an excellent way to prevent overworking. Even if I do go over 6pm, I'm aware that I'm working "overtime" and just get what I need done and then go away.
Cannot someone else use the same nickname?
As an user, it means that I must not use Sign in with Apple.
This actually sounds a lot like an urban legend. Especially given that it’s a story you heard in your youth.

I wasn’t able to find a report of that happening at the Hofn station, but the same story of this happening to an anonymous microwave technician does appear in other locales.

Snopes did a debunking on these and they say it’s false: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nuke-of-earl/

thanks. we just got approval to start working with instacart next.
It can be argued that long-term thinking is already part of the current market structure, for example take Amazon or Tesla which trades at extraordinary PE ratios. In essence investors are betting in the far future these companies will make money. How does the long term stock exchange differ?
What is the difficulty in accepting payment from more countries. Don't most of the payment providers like Stripe support a broad range of countries.
I think a lot of this is because of the hobbiest roots of the PC, it was never taken seriously as a commercial device at first, and had broad tinkering support from the early days. They never could really abandon that stance because of those who adopted new products.

Any attempt to do a sealed experience for average users was subpar in execution... except perhaps gaming consoles.
The law is above ToS. If you believe ToS are unlawful, then you breaking them might be lawful (to be decided).
Apple has at least 50% of the market in the USA. They have 90% of the youth market so the general market share just keeps growing.

You can't have a successful app business without putting your offering in Apple's app store.

Our existing anti-trust laws absolutely apply here.
I've been using f.lux for years and definitely think it helps considerably (certainly when opening my laptop at night, I don't get completely blinded). I've recently been wondering if blue light glasses are similarly effective--anyone have data (or anecdata) about their effectiveness?
Maybe OP meant side-lobes?

There are currently 21,100 add-ons on the store.

Considering the relatively small market share of FF, I feel like the amount of companies that would pay for review could be pretty small (<= 1000).

The ad model also creates an awkward conflict of interest: the add-ons most willing to pay good good money for placement are probably ones that you shouldn't install and Firefox should not promote. Think tracking, ads, .... Or commercial ad blockers trying to always appear above Ublock Origin.

It will be detrimental to open source/hobby add-ons in general, unless Mozilla includes those in the review program for free.

Overall, I can't see how this will bring in any considerable amount of revenue, not even considering the labour cost of manual review. At least while keeping shady actors out.

I can imagine this just to be an effort to balance out the costs of curating the store, while still bringing in a bit of additional money.

I'm tentatively supportive, assuming they provide free reviews for non-commercial open source extensions and are strict with the promotions they allow.
There are brands that have not lost their mind. Many new cars do keep physical controls / buttons / dials for A/C and other stuff out of the touch screen. If you want to dial radio when having navigation on the screen, it might be a different story, though.
> moving from static HTML to a web framework

Looking at this sentence, I have the impression that it is nowadays taken for granted that "web framework" means "front end web framework". I come from a time in which it was perfectly fine to generate static HTML via a (server-side) web framework.
Apart from the food, the thing I miss most from France. You can fibre hop indefinitly, because at any point in time someone's offering 100mbit or more at 10eur/mo. Currently 30 is the cheapest I can get fiber, at a measly 50mbit.
How does the lensing work? Why doesn't the galaxy in the middle between us and the faraway galaxy pollute the image with its own light? It it separated by frequency or some trick?
Awesome, do you plan on integrating things like gmail tasks?
If you insist here is a proof that is been know at least for a month (https://www.aa.com.tr/en/asia-pacific/south-korea-finds-new-...). Emergence of a mutation in relatively big (33 mln people) country is definitely a major event, yet the information is still scarce, which is puzzling. I have no idea why, but I am used to the reality of ignoring my region. I understand there is a type of people, especially in places like HN, who require some rubber-stamped peer reviewed proofs for everything, but for these "reliable sources" to appear at first place, the issue has to catch attention of the scientific world. It is not catching attention, not even tiniest mention in the articles, such the linked by the OP. It puzzles me, and make me think that there might be other mutations, which are not known, in places like ex-USSR.
I would expext this on Yugo. I dont mind the fix if it works, but I would expect this from someone doing it at home not from a $50k car. If I would find this in my car I would just return it to the factory and the linked article is right. What else can be found?
Might be more useful in rural hospitals where large machines are not cost effective.
Most of them stole the idea from F.lux, though. It's the software equivalent of pulling up the ladder. Google/Apple/Amazon added f.lux-style blue-light filters to their own OS's, while at the same time locking down access features that would prevent userland apps from being allowed to do the same thing.
> What are the legal issues around web scraping?

delusional.

rhetorical language device intending to pretend you can make something public then dictate what public means to you.
Privacy shield was one framework (now invalid, as parent notes) among a few. FB is dependent on standard contractual clauses which are generally valid (per schrems ii) but potentially invalid if the recipient is subject to FISA 702 warrants. Schrems ii put the burden of making that validity determination on member states' data protection authorities.

The Irish DPC didn't want to make this decision (for reasons), kicking the can to the CJEU, which eventually resolved Schrems II and remanded the decision on FB's SCC's back to the DPC.
> The following table describes the list of ideas copied from the paper I published. For the sake of clarity, I published my white paper in February 2019. Apple released "Sign in with Apple" in June 2019.

So they copied it and released it, in 3 months?

Thank you for the kind words! We admire KA a lot. They've helped so many families pull through during the pandemic.

Also, as a team, we're really invested in sparking scientific curiosity beyond the screen as well, so it'd be great to have your kids participate in the Junior Science Fair!
Apple and Google require a fee just to register. It is also possible to pay them for more exposure.

Just saying this might only be a first step. Tipping their toes, see what is possible. Might work out differently. Or not at all, or the same ;-)
text2speech and speech2speech seem like very different problems no? Especially when so much of someone's voice identity is based on speech patterns, contextual inflection, rhythm/cadence, how would realtime work? Just wondering if you are thinking about realtime as in <10ms or realtime as in 1 second?

Awesome progress by the way, would totally follow along more closely on this project through an eng diary or mailing list.
Here's another test: A

You can of course do parallel HTTP calls or database queries with Python's existing threads (IO releases the GIL in Python) or via multiprocessing.

You don't have to use locks either - straight parallelism can be done very easily with the Executors in concurrent.futures. There are a lot of good concurrency primitives in the threading library in the stdlib including conditions, semaphores and barriers. Of course best to avoid parallelism with shared data if at all possible (and IMO it doesn't really come up much).
Downloaded and installed. First impressions, very positive. I like clean UIs and the GMail web interface has become cluttered over time.

Excellent work guys. I hope pricing is reasonable and perhaps there's a family package or something.
You are asking in the wrong places.

Good books include Stroustrup, "The C++ Programming Language", Josuttis, "The C++ Standard Library".
I use F.lux to minimize blue light at all times, not just at night. You get used to it, and blue light is said to be harmful for long term vision as well as disruptive of sleep.

Sometimes I disabled F.lux for an hour if I want to watch a video or do work that is color sensitive.
3 million veterans of these wars will require up to 80 years of veteran pension, health and disability services.

It can't be all that many, since the US is now a net exporter.
In some parts of the world it's very normal to have unlimited data without slowdowns. Some months I have downloaded around 200-400GB on a normal 40$/month cellular plan with no extra charges.
Tesla had figured out the math for the minimum safe distance from his coils and had a habit of building the biggest one he could get away with in the shop space he had. Which meant they tended to nearly exactly fit into his workshop.

Which led to a situation mentioned in one of his biographies, where he was on the far side of the shop and somehow the switch got thrown. It was either make a new exit through a wall or window, or leverage the fact that discharges are sphere shaped but shops are generally box-shaped; army crawl out through the little 'triangle' of space between the floor and the wall/benches outside of the radius. I would hope some new safety protocols were introduced after that, but I couldn't rightly say. The rest of that story sort of overshadows such details in your memory.
Kubernetes will be far more complex than docker compose. It'll let you do much, much more also.

Some potentially useful tips:

* One docker container usually maps to one pod, which is created by a deployment. You can put multiple containers in a single pod, but this couples them together tightly.

* Use services to assign hostnames to pods

* Have pods communicate to each other using the service names. This works the same as putting them in the same docker network.

* Volumes depend on your cloud provider or if you're running on bare metal. In the cloud it's easy, you just request one and it gets created on demand and backed by a cloud disk.

* If you're using volumes, you probably want to use the Recreate updatePolicy for your deployment. This will ensure the old pod is shutdown before creating a new one. Which is necessary to work with block volumes.

When using helm start with a `helm create CHARTNAME` and take a look at what it generated for you. You'll get some heavily templated yaml that if you're lucky you will barely have to touch.

But it's best to go through these tutorials and learn how to use the basic building blocks of kubernetes directly: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/kubernetes-basics/

Once you're familiar with what a Deployment, Service, Ingress and PersistentVolumeClaim are you can use helm to template this for you where necessary.
There (mostly) is.

Work funded by the NIH needs to end up in PubMed Central within a year of publication. The NSF and DoE have similar policies. Unclassified DoD-funded work also needs to end up in the Defense Technical Information Center. All of this flows from a 2013 memo by John Holdren/OST entitled "Increasing Access to Results of Federally Funded Science", and, as far as I know, it hasn't been overturned. While this doesn't formally cover everything, it comes pretty close and many journals now handle this automatically.

The memo is here: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2016/02/22/increas...

Canada has a similar policy for Tri-Council funded research (here: http://www.science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/eng/h_F6765465.htm...) but does not require specific repositories.
The way you've put this bears more resemblance to religion than anything else.

"Markets" are real things. I can walk to them, or navigate to their website, or call them up.

You are claiming that there is an invisible, metaphysical "the market", which exists in the Platonic world of forms, that governs the behavior of these genuine markets.

This is like reading "The Gods of the Copybook Headings", and founding a religion which worships and offers sacrifice to those gods!

This "the market" you refer to is an abstraction of the behavior of real markets. It can give us all sorts of guidance as to what will happen when various rules are applied, or not, to these real markets; but comparing these broad heuristic rules to thermodynamics has me suspecting you don't understand either thermodynamics nor macroeconomics.

Every market has rules. Invariably, you are not allowed to stab a vendor and take their stuff. Sometimes there are things you can't sell; sometimes only Dutch auction is allowed, and so on ad infinitum.

This is simply a market with different rules from those governing other stock markets. We're all free to speculate on the consequences those different rules will have; perhaps they will summon literal Gods of the Copybook Headings, which will return upon us with actual terror and slaughter.

The safe bet is that prediction and reality will be divergent. This is economics, not thermodynamics, after all.
I don't care about charm in my chat application. It is supposed to deliver text and media to one or more recipients in real-time. I don't need stickers, emojis, reactions gifs, or memes. A chat is not my main application, not even in my top 10.

If it doesn't work as expected, I will try the next. There is literally 0 loyalty involved in my company.

it only affects space between galaxies not inside galaxies

It obviously affects all space, inside galaxy or outside of it. Let's just check the rough math, not even bothering about the fact that expansion was not linear. The universe expanded to around 100BLY in about 10BY, i.e. got ten times bigger than its potential light cone. So, for every "initial" 1km, there is additional 9km in 10BY timespan, or 0.0009mm per year, or 0.00003nm per second. The general ratio is around 1e-17 per second per length unit.

Proton size is around 1e-15m, Planck size is around 1e-35m. A thousand Planck units per second is not that much, really. And on sub-milliseconds it just loses its effect completely, due to that Heisenberg guy. (If we take my bullshit math seriously, I mean.)
Ketting v6
darn this is what i suspected. I've long been a user of f.lux and share the same positive sentiments. I ask because I just got blue light coating on my glasses and they haven't arrived yet. Feel like I might have been scammed a bit, haha
Does that expansion provide potential energy by creating space between attractive bodies? If so how do you account for conservation of energy?
Congrats on an amazing launch! You might though consider a new name before going to the App Store?

Telling someone who doesn't read HN about your app would be very difficult because "mime" and "stream" aren't words people would expect next to each other. "Mime" is also a pretty uncommon word. Getting the early adopter crowd now who understand the name is important but this app has exciting potential I think for an audience beyond that.

Apple can, at will, remove your entire foundation or business

It’s the hazards of building your business on another company’s foundation.

There are millions of companies completely dependent on Apple, Amazon, or another organization. In tech terms, it goes back to affiliate marketing days. In real world terms, it goes back centuries.

No leader should make his company dependent on another company, but it happens all the time.

The only things that are different now is that the company is Apple, and that tech bubble social media outrage is a thing.
I’m still sad about Sparrow’s demise - Mail.app and others are poor substitutes.
It not just not the same in each car but the pieces have rough cut edges and each piece is a different length. I would hope a production fix would at least buy a saw with a stop so that it looks standard.

Adapting a display to the time of the day isn't really something F.lux invented. The displays in cars, planes and other devices have been doing that forever to not blind you at night.
Well, it's 1304x984. Basically on-par with a 1280x1024 monitor, which were used on sizes of 15 and even 17".
I can see how lack of choice could be beneficial, though I've used f.lux for years on default settings
So true, it's a giant money grabbing operation isn't it
You do if you can afford the legal fees.
I don't get why on Hackernews anyone would ever defend Apple here. Regardless of whether they're right to do this if Epic wins their court case against them we stand to gain the most benefit. Apple's incredibly high walled garden is honestly the scariest thing for me. If I develop for windows I can simply distribute my application on my site easily. With Android I can tell people to download from F-Droid if necessary. With MacOS We're nearly at the point that Apple will tell us and users what we can and cannot install or develop for the system. iOS and iPad OS are already there.

Epic caused their own pain here, sure but What other way can we actually get a semi open platform that we're not being taxed on? Why can't we as users and developers have options on iOS? I think that if an operating system allows third party apps they should be _legally_ required to allow other app stores, sideloading of programs without penalty for doing so, or both. That goes for any platform, developed at any time by anyone.

I have been completely at a loss for anyone defending Apple while hoping that Epic loses their fight. The first makes sense but the second is absolutely baffling.
Businesses in 2020 seem to almost understand the impacts of their actions. Maybe in 2030 they really will but it may be too late for some of them.

Unfortunately today some still don't understand the difference between marketing and harassment, particularly you see that with web content publishers.

In the case of email, bad practices mean that your delivery rate drops a lot. Practically email list hygiene is enforced by the "bounce rate" and not the complaint rate -- stupid spammers will spam email addresses that don't even have a "@" and they have a much worse time than others.

(I wonder, I have filters to delete mail from anyone who spams me. Could I hack my email server so these emails bounce and cause more trouble for the senders?)
I just meant that people in eu loves apple. That's certainly not true everywhere. The market share definitely doesn't show that.

Have you ever gone out on a hot day and stood in the sun? There's a big difference between sun and shade. A head with black hair gets super hot, aside from the general heat you feel.

Another way to say it is 1 kilowatt per square meter. It's a lot of energy. A 1500 watt electric heater can get my entire bedroom quite a bit hotter than with just the central heat running. Put 2/3rds of that energy into your body and there are certainly going to be effects.
That's my thought. One of the technical challenges of space elevators is how to deliver power to the climber. Some of the other options are to use lasers and solar panels, or to use the cable itself as a conductor.

(Technically, an Earth-based space elevator would still most likely be beaming from inside Earth atmosphere, but at least it would be pointed approximately straight up and probably be positioned in the ocean or other sparsely-populated area.)
