Sound pollution is a matter of public concern which is already regulated by the state.

An appropriate study takes weeks or months, since it would still be bad news to find out after the fact that one week out of the month or every other month has serious noise problems. -- which is an unreasonable amount of delay to stick on the private transaction (in particular, as a buyer you'll be sniped by someone less cautious).

Moreover, the data needed is essentially the same for all properties in an immediate area. This is a natural shared cost, and redoing it once off for each would be extraordinary wasteful.

Finally-- this entire thread sub-thread is about reducing state intervention by buyers being empowered to not purchase places where they're going to have problems with the noise. They can't do that without the information, they can't gather the information themselves on a reasonable time scale. The buyer can't demand the seller provide it (because by the time they meet the seller it's too late to start collecting it).

I don't see this as too much different from things like flood maps (which require rather expensive flyover lidar and historical watershed information, etc. to construct) that cities already provide.

Yes, I'm aware. Which is also why I didn't think it was unreasonable to suggest. (though the DOT maps are understandably focused just on highway noise).
>That he makes money from the cover isn't infringement, anymore than other covers are infringement when they were sold on physical CDs.

The law is clear that both are valid infringement and subject to DMCA takedown, unless the songs have been licensed.

Not saying a like it, but there is a long list of cases upholding it.

What's interesting is that all these warnings against Jones and guilt-by-association is generally from people blindly repeating the same thing while being ignorant and uninterested in the real details. The very episodes that people are worried about are actually the best explanations of who Jones is and his friendship with Rogan, and they include disclosures and harsh criticisms against what he's said and done.

Overall I don't understand the big deal about him. I've met truly evil people (from cartel members to death row inmates) and Jones doesn't come close. He's full of extremist conspiracies but he's also extremely easy to ignore. He barely makes a mark compared to the typical social media drivel these days anyway.
It's a pattern that does tend to exist in my experience, and talking openly and constructively about problems is just part of fixing them. To be clear, I'm not saying that all (or even most) guys have this tendency. I think you may have mentally categorised my comment into the "men bad" bin, but that's really not what I was going for. It's literally a pattern that I have noticed in my own behaviour, so I'm not out to attack anyone here.
The fact that this is the top comment and most people are confused about what Open Telemetry is about should indicate that it is not clear.

Unfortunately human error can never be completely eliminated. However, I'm not really talking about this type of problem. In my previous [1], the operator understood how the tool worked; they simply made a mistake when typing the command, and the tool without warning accepted the command to reboot the entire datacenter.

just did a *number* of times.

That isn't a user understanding problem; it's a dangerous tool that doesn't fail safely. In your case, at least you detected the unusually destructive action and asked for verification. Youtube isn't even attempting simple sanity checks like your "N > 100" test.

> normally makes you type the number

> I just do not know how to make this more idiotproof

Requiring explicit typing of the number or an explicit phrase like "Yes, I want to delete everything." are can help a lot.

If possible, another good approach is to explicitly show the full list of proposed changes. Phrases like "This will change ALL of ..." might have multiple interpretations (ALL what? All of the the things in my entire account? All of the things in the current/last project/group? All of the things I think (perhaps incorrectly) were referenced in this action?). If someone is expecting to change only a few records, a confirmation popup that asks "Do you want to make these changes:" followed by a huge list has a large size/presence that should conflict with their expectations. "I only wanted to change a few things - wtf is this huge list?"
"It's 15 years later none of those things exist, people never leave their house, and all deliveries are by robots, and people interact by AR."

I did a really quick skim of the program and didn't really see remote sensing. It looks like the program does collect data reports and map them - which is always nice.

I did pick up this "For reporters subject to the California Cap-and-Trade Program, submitted data are verified by a CARB-accredited independent third-party verifier." Is it the remote sensing satellite that is a third-party verifier?

Have you considered that I _have_ heard these arguments and _have_ listened to these positions, and decided the person is wrong?

In your worldview at what point can I start rejecting people's positions? Why do I have to give ground here?

"you can just lie" is a cynical position, of course, but people are faced with much larger dilemnas. I would like for people to have basic empathy and _not_ finance anti-civil rights movements. But hey, at least a public apology/fix does a bit of damage to the reactionary movement.

And maybe they are actually a different person or have reflected on their actions, and it's not a lie. Nobody's a mind reader.

And when you are directly affected/targeted by the movement that Eich is donating too, it's not just a conversation. The guy was funding an effort to take away your rights.

Maybe consider that "you have to be nice to people trying to take away your rights" is something that relatively few people would actually subscribe to.

So I ventured into indie music production during lockdown and here's the thing -- covers are a notoriously vague area when it comes to copyright and licensing. It is easy and cheap ($10-15) to get a cover license. You are required to give out royalties. Most covers published on YouTube just end up losing monetization.

But, and here is where it gets weird, what defines cover is extremely limiting. For covers, the song must follow the exact general tone and pattern of the original. Anything else is considered derivative work and an infringement, even if the license was bought. So if a guitarist adds a simple vocal explaining how he played it -- it is not a cover. It's infringement.

Also, under DMCA, covers are not fair use. I also expect lesser music companies letting YouTube videos slide as we now have YT Music and these covers directly compete with the original. So they might just not be comfortable with getting your money, they also don't want a cover beating the original in playlists and charts.

Under DCMA, on receiving a valid counter notification they are free to put the content back on the site, remove the strike from the content uploader and let the courts handle the matter between the two parties.

https://twitter.com/leonardjfrench/status/130794817037951385...

It’s only if Google “ignore” valid dmca takedown notifications they are at risk of losing their safe harbour exceptions. How they handle the counter notifications can be pretty hit and miss. (but tbf, most of the time it’s because the person filing the counter notification didn’t fill it out exactly how Google’s bots like) I’ve seen cases where YT just automatically removed the strike from the account and restored the video on receipt of the counter notice. I’ve seen cases where they have locked the account even though the person filing the DMCA notifications has publicly admitted to taking down the video because it was critical of the work and the video only contained small pieces of the original content (exactly what you would expect to be covered under the criticism and comment portions of fair use exception).

Not just historical events. For example, Vladimir Putin's Russian page looks very different from the English page. If I suspect bias, one quick check I always do is to read the page from another language using Google Translate. Does not always work, but sometimes you get more information.
That is very cool. I am surprised the cost came in under diesel generators, was it for noise/space/pollution more than cost? If they're legitimately cheaper for the same kW's as a diesel generator that's a different picture.

I still probably wouldn't use one as a portable generator but I'd definitely consider it as power backing for a hospital in a dense area where a big enough generator wasn't feasible (if it were in fact smaller).

Edit: I'm going to assume that if you pay for it you can get the kind of redundancy and automatic switching controls too with a diesel generator, I'm not actually positive they exist but I'd figure they would for the right price.

Well it’s worth reading the link to see how they avoided that problem in Austria... they had two strategies that seem to have succeeded there: the buildings are on a desirable area of town, and rent does not go up if your income goes up. The second point means that the area ends up being mixed income. You have to have low income to qualify for entry but then once you get on your feet and income rises you get to stay there. So they made affordable public housing that doesn’t become a slum.

> In this sense, law is similar to code, but far easier to exploit.

I would disagree. I feel like programmers see logical contradictions or loop holes in laws and think that if they make the argument in court, the court will segfault and they will go free.

In reality, courts use more inductive reasoning than computers, and aren't as easily tricked.
Unfortunately, this reasoning relies on the assumption compounding interest is reliable in the long term. Over a length of lifetime the assumption does not hold true, there are many ways to wipe out.

Moreover, it relies on another assumption that you will be able to pull the investment when you need a lot of cash. It's easy to sip, quite hard sometimes to liquidate a big one, depending on the kind of assets you invested in.

That falls under the “maybe” category. Synfuel are not easy to make, and will add a substantial layer of extra complexity to an already complex process.

I don't think startups would really get a boost, because when Youtube, Tumblr or Reddit have put new restrictions on what people can post I didn't see any users leaving for somewhere else. So I would guess that YouTube would have to remove many videos but users would stay there on YouTube.
