That's such a weird perspective - I think you're adding a narrative where there isn't one. Of course Europe could have decided on a set of landmarks but decided that using non-existent landmarks represents us better - the currency is just that, currency. Why should it have landmarks or people? In fact I find it weird that some countries print their famous people on their money - it just seems so pretentious.
> Many CMSs are used to produce static sites; WordPress included.

So, which is it? Don't use Wordpress because it's PHP based and doesn't scale? Or Wordpress headless is okay because the front-end is static?

Static sites are the future, not Wordpress? Or Wordpress is still going to be a part of the headless market because the CMS supports that functionality?

You're confusing me.
> I can understand how we got here, but the idea of a guitar tab being copyrighted is strange to me. It's not like you can do a "clean room implementation" of a guitar tab: if you're transcribing the music accurately, the resulting tab should look indistinguishable from the copyrighted one. So how would you be able to tell whether it was infringing or not?

Unfortunately transcribing music to a tab or a sheet is subject to copyright. Even transcribing the lyrics of a song is. In fact music sheets are a very lucrative business.

Some sheets are also impossible to find because copyright holders refuse to re-publish them and will sue you if you try to transcribe that music yourself and publish it for free.

Nonsense. The law is extremely complex on these points and you’re trying to play semantic games with the terms “theft” and “stealing” to pretend like it’s black and white.

Taking evidence due to a statutory duty to your government (reporting crimes) is not theft. You can’t just magically invoke the term “theft” and invoke tautologies like “stealing is stealing” - that’s not how any of this works.

It literally does depend on whether the taken documents reveal a crime, along with other factors about how your job or normal access would bring you in contact with the materials and also if the materials taken are over broad (i.e. you wanted documents to show a pattern of sexual harassment but also took a bunch of unrelated private client data).

Given that in the case of Manning & Wikileaks, the crimes being reported (which were proven beyond all doubt) included criminal murder perpetrated systematically by US military and federal agents, as well as grand scale deception and rigging of the Democratic Primary in 2016, and shitloads of illegal torture and illegal imprisonment across Europe, the Middle East and Guantanamo, it’s also beyond dispute that the moral duty (and statutory duty for Americans involved like Manning) to release the materials was undeniable and the crimes were so sweeping and severe that no part of the taking or publishing of the documents can be considered over broad.

Do we have usage stats for WSL? I did a quick google search and the only thing I found was a laughably biased article claiming only around 150k people used WSL1. Just because Windows has a much larger userbase does not mean that WSL is seeing a lot of usage. It's very possible (and in my estimation likely) that the numbers are not even close.

Friendly reminder that IRS enforcement is one of the most cost-effective activities that the federal government can engage in, and that Congress has consistently cut funding for the IRS for years and years [0][1][2][3][4]:

Cutting the IRS budget didn’t make sense to [John Koskinen]. It was one of the few areas of government that had a positive return on investment. Koskinen told the Senate, “I don’t know any organization in my 20 years of experience in the private sector that has said, ‘I think I’ll take my revenue operation and starve it for funds.’”

It should be obvious that a politician who votes to cut IRS funding, especially when that funding can go toward enforcement, does not represent the interests of the common people they represent.

If you are a white-collar employee making $100k, $200k, or even higher, you should be especially concerned, since you bear a large portion of the nation's tax burden and expect that your tax money be spent well. 25% marginal tax rate is a bitter pill to swallow when you know that others are not paying their fair share.

Looking for instructors(Paid): Help students improve spoken English
We built a website that helps to connect people that wants to practice their spoken English with native speakers. Basically native speakers will do a video/voice call with the students, and chat with them. There is not curriculum, the goal is not to improve test scores. As a native speaker instructor, you just need to "manage" the chat and keep the conversation going and encourage students to talk, and maybe help to correct the pronounciation or grammar errors, or tell them a more native way to say something.

The instructor will negotiate with the students by themselves about the hourly rate(we recommend $10 - $20 per hour). The platform will not charge anything(instead of 30% that some other platform charge). You can consider it as an Airbnb for online learning with almost zero commission fee.

So why we are doing this? We just want to contribute to the world a little bit, to connect people from all over the world, to help them better understand each other. It always bothers me that the world is becoming more divided now, while all human share the same ancestor as a one species.

We already have some potential students. They are mostly students in colleges or somewhat fresh graduates.

Please ping me if you are interested in becoming an instructor. We will need to do a 30min interview with you before approving u to be an instructor.

It is a pretty new website. And we are trying to bootstrap it now. You may not receive messages immediately by some students. If you feel it is a waste of time that you signup and not get any student, I totally understand it. Unfortunately, at this point, it is a kind of chicken and egg thing. Students will not be interested if the platform does not have enough instructors. I would be grateful for anyone that signup. And we will try to recruit students and let all instructors get some attentions from students.

The website is: lingwu.ai

Thanks.
I should probably switch back to Debian. I switched to Ubuntu back in the day because it was Debian + more stuff. Now it's Debian + more stuff I don't want.
What? The default is most definitely "more space" as of a couple versions of MacOS ago (or maybe it was based on the product, e.g. when they came out with a new version of the MacBook Pro in 2016 or so). I know on my 2018 MacBook Pro 13" the default was one notch over on the "More Space" side vs. exact 2x Retina. And that only makes sense, as running as if you only have the space of a 1280x800 1x screen would make me go nuts, you can hardly fit anything on the screen. I think that's what drove Apple to change the defaults from the exact 2x Retina, despite the minor loss in quality from having to render at the larger size and scale down. On iMacs which have bigger screens (I'm typing this now on a 5K iMac) exact 2x Retina is the default.

You are correct that if you go down to the "bigger text" side of things that it does scale things up, and for those sizes using 3x would give a sharper image. I hadn't even considered that though because I think most people think either the exact 2x retina resolution is fine, or if anything they want more space. The only people who would use the "bigger text" option are probably people with poor eyesight in which case it doesn't matter if its slightly more blurry.

EDIT: see screenshot here: http://imgbox.com/uxcHERt3
Default for MacBook Pro 13" is "Looks like 1440x900" which requires rendering at a resolution of 2880x1800, which is then scaled DOWN to the native resolution of 2560x1600.
While I agree with you on the fact that it's way easier to run games on Linux than ever (especially steam games thanks to proton and DXVK, but it trickled down to most games as well) and that Linux never had so many supported games, I still spent 3 hours to install torchligh 2 the last time I wanted to play with it, dispite it being sold as Linux-compatible! Oh, and I spent 4 days (not full time obviously) installing WoW Classic last year, and it involved manually installing a release-candidate of the latest kernel. So it's still definitely not for the faint of heart.

But at least now it works! (Unless it doesn't because some retarded anti-cheat software which doesn't actually prevents cheating, gets me banned after a few minutes. Looking at you Apex Legends)

Most communist propaganda I've seen is not 1920s "agitprop" style posters with workers and farmers waving red flags and inviting you to impale your capitalist boss on a bayonet. IMHO, that only exist to make the target audience believe that anything else is not propaganda or is not effective as such.

E.g. several people at my work (engineers with degrees) seem to absolutely trust everything they hear on "comedy" talk shows. And not only trust, but eager watch all new episodes and discuss between themselves at work. Those cannot be propaganda because it's just a joke, dude?
Weird how those bridges will outlast the Euro, and also the EU. /s
POV From Canada:
The decline started earlier. But it wasn’t until the coronavirus pandemic that we can see that the United States can’t try to handle its problems. They seem essentially broken. The basics of a coordinated response was entirely absent.

It’s like if your house is burning down, but everyone in the house is yelling at each other instead of trying to put out the fire.
We are looking south and it’s like looking at a bubbling pool of madness.
As much as Canadians don’t want to admit it, we love the United States. We are also afraid since America collapses, we might get dragged into their descent.

Problem with Debian that by the time of the release all packages are heavily outdated. Ubuntu is even worse - they can't even patch multiple vulnerabilities, see, for example, radare2 package[1]. Everything that is required just a simple version bump. It's often not a problem for other distributions like Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, etc.

Google could probably do a better job here and not put so many services on the same pool of L7 devices. Separate pools with smaller groupings would reduce the blast radius.
You need to close all your programs and wait whenever you swap.
To keep doing it for longer. Eventually, external resources would be required regardless.

I'm not betting on the current human race being capable of this, though-- in my opinion, we will need to more or less become a different species for anything like civilization as we know it to survive over the very long term. Otherwise we will inevitably keep wasting too much energy on emotionally driven, incredibly stupid and violent conflicts with each other.

That seems like it'd be a very strange standard. These crimes weren't in a grey area where they could have reasonably believed they were doing nothing wrong. If you found me smashing up your car, and I told you "oh my boss said I should", would you really say that I've done nothing wrong?

That view would have been reasonable 15 years ago. MS didn't embrace Linux because they want to be nice, but because they realized a desktop OS monopoly is completely useless in the mobile era. A big chunk of software developers prefer Mac or Linux. Work in the cloud is done on Linux. People use Windows at home/work because it's what they've been using for 25 years.

This makes me wonder about the dynamics of copyright. As far as I understand it, copyright only really matters if you first create/obtain an infringing work, and then introduce said infringing work into the market somehow (by distributing it, selling it, broadcasting it, etc.)

Copyright doesn’t seem to have much to say about infringing works created in private for private use, that never interact with the market. They’re infringing in theory, but in practice no copyright-holder has ever(?) gone after such infringement, because it’s just impractical to find out about it.

Now imagine an ML model that, when fed audio, emits perfect tabulature corresponding to said audio—without actually being overfit enough to contain an embedding of any real tabs; and where all the training data to the model was public-domain.

If an end-user of such a model applied it to a song, and what the model ended up synthesizing out was a copyrighted tab, then the end-user—and not the creator of the model—would be the one responsible for infringing upon the work, right? But, since that particular tab doesn’t exist anywhere except on their computer, then—if they just used it for practice, rather than publishing it—it’d be a private creation for private use, “invisible” to the copyright system.

It seems to me that, as long as the ML model didn’t actively advertise its ability to infringe on the copyrights of these particular tabs; or guide users into doing so; then it’d be safe to sell the model (or software that embeds it), right? Even safe to sell it as fit-for-purpose for being an aid in learning/practicing music.

At least for me, a huge part of running a Linux OS is not just having access to some Linux-exclusive features, but not having Windows anti-features.

WSL does not give you the non-intrusiveness, better performance, security, and privacy of a native Linux distro installation.
I had an American experience in several different schools, and our maps had the Atlantic in the middle. I think that's more common, so people are down voting the posts stating the bizarre America in the center map is a staple of US schools.

Linux on the desktop numbers please? It's been known for "pure/native" Linux users to chant this phrase, yet it seems that Windows has achieved this.

I will see in the future lots of tutorials, guides, software, company support, etc covering not just your regular Linux but also WSL, since it's much easier to access rather than installing yet another Linux distro directly on hardware just to try Linux software.

If I took a published book, fixed all the grammatical errors and maybe even sometimes improved the sentence structure or changed a few minor words to improve the readability of a sentence without changing the meaning, who owns the copyright to my creation?

I would argue that the original author retained the copyright and mine is a derivative work.

If I took a film, and re-enacted the scenes, does my film infringe upon the original film?

This is a bit ambiguous, if the film were presented as parody for example, but you'd still out of courtesy, contact the copyright owners and see if they / their lawyers think it's infringing before spending years doing so

If I took someone's game, recreated it from scratch, and made a youtube video tutorial, "how to make this game including indistinguishable graphics, textures and gameplay" would the resulting video be infringing?

Even more ambiguous than the last example - if the language stated "similar to" and the resultant product was distinguishable in some way, I think it wouldn't infringe.

My gut feel is that guitar tabs is simplified sheet music - and sheet music is copyrightable, because even if the the play style of the artist is slightly different from the original, the arrangement of the music is what is copyrightable, and the original authors deserve at least some of the proceeds from the use of that copyright

I would think of the economic persecution of individuals as powerful weapon.

just like with any weapon:

- some will call it 'great equalizer'. Meaning that a victim no matter how small and physically weak, can still fight off a number of aggressors

- some will call it a tool of death making, that belongs to the hands of military (in the case of cancel culture, it would be equivalent to saying that this tool belongs government )

Point is, just like usage of any weapon, the morality and legality of economic persecution depends on:

- what / who is it used for

- amount of collateral damage

- who used it

- were there other means, was it legal

- the manipulative power of the legal team defending the use

One thing we can sure of, any new weapon gets adapted by all sides of a conflict.

The case of misuse of this weapon, in my view, was against Brendan Eich [1]

I was confused by this statement, as my understanding is that treating it as a currency would result in worse tax consequences.
