Licensing should make sense for all books, it just requires a reasonable per lend fee. It shouldn't really be in the publisher's interest to prevent libraries from lending more copies. They'd just be limiting their own customer base.

That's the capitalist ideal though, there's plenty of reasons why it's not currently happening. Most publishers still seem to think they can continue pricing digital and physical books the same and turn the significant savings in printing costs into pure profit. And they might have some second thoughts about this whole 'lending books' thing.

CDL is interesting here because it is in essence a threat that failing to provide a fair digital alternative will just lead to libraries digitizing the books for themselves, and in the worst case cooperate so you can lend a copy of the book provided any (statewide, countrywide, worldwide) library still has an unlent copy.
Discrimination based on caste is different than discrimination based on race, though. There is probably race based discrimination in India too, and it might intersect with caste, but conflating both probably doesnt really make sense.

Also, I dont think people really ignore people of color being racist within their countries.
Most of the time when people bring up arguments stating that the people being racist are white people, its in the context of western countries with a colonial/slave trade past where systematic racism doesnt target white people.
What's very impressive is that you'd still think the graphic doesn't look so bad 25 years later and the music was superb too. Some of the tracks are stuck in my head indefinitely.

Wildly different experience depending on the state and part (South is good in comparison to North).

There is a shortage of doctors despite everyone aiming for a medical degree. It is worse in rural areas so there are less qualified people treating others. Pseudoscience and pseudomedicine is a big industry too. Actors, news channels, babas, politicians, etc all encourage it.

The most recent example of above is baba ram dev's covid cure: https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2020/aug/05/covid-19...

He promoted his pseudoscience on multiple news channels as a cure for covid. Ayush ministry (which is a branch of government to regulate/approve pseudomedicine) stopped him on some advertising basis so he rebranded the thing to covid immunity booster.
Right, that is questionable, and I jumped the gun in assuming you were talking more generally.

They won't spy on you, but you'll still have to deal with the laggy shitware they run. In some I've had the misfortune of using, simply changing the inputs was a torturous affair because of the shitty software the TV was running.
They could connect it to their phone, or maybe there is a neighbor whose WiFi has one of those default seperate gateways for other customers that they never disabled (Xfinity I think does this).
> The number of people willing to put the amount of time and effort required into writing a book without a profit motive is very low.

Citation needed. Writing a book, on average, makes people very little money. Some of the funniest or most entertaining content I've read has been on sites with user-generated content, such as Reddit, where there's no (direct) profit motive for good writing.

Profit motive or not, people will continue to write. Homer and Shakespeare lived in a time with no copyright laws and produced some of the greatest works of literature.

I'm not advocating for zero copyright laws, but I call bullshit on this assertion that creative works exist only due to their protection.
So you've had symptoms for 30 days ?
I don't see consistency in logic. If the hairstyles were not accepted then 'wealthy white women' wouldn't be celebrated/complimented for adopting them. If anything having them become more celebrated by all would have those hairstyles more accepted than ever.
> The number of people willing to put the amount of time and effort required into writing a book without a profit motive is very low.

I wonder how did you arrive at that.

It's sort of common knowledge that only 1-2% of books written will net any sort of profit, so one might just as well write for free. As many, many people do, and outperform the for-profit writers too, on quality.

> Debt fueled by inflationary government money-printing drives wealth inequality between asset owners and salary earners

How does that even work? Inflation tends to decrease wealth inequality as basic salaries keep pace with inflation, and large hordes of wealth and assets slowly get whittled away. According to Piketty, the high inflation during the World Wars drastically increased income equality.

The part about U.S. development is partially true. Idaho has been developing immensely, with Boise Area 10x'ing since 1930 and averaging 30% YoY population increase the past few decades.[0] If you go there, there's immense construction with frequent road closures and cranes everywhere. So while Idaho may still be dealing with the second-order effects of California's underdevelopment, I would struggle to find anywhere that's been building as much as Idaho is.

I would say, there is a kind of Pie Chart Law of the Excluded Middle working here: if you exclude the middle of the pie chart, so that it's just a narrow color band on a rim, it becomes harder to grok.
I've never been gay or bi, and I've never used Grindr, but I have held government security clearances for almost 40 years. It's a lot different today than it was back then. Early on, I knew several people who had "experimented" in college, and they were denied clearances. (Actually the government never officially denied them because that would require an explanation of the criteria used for the denial. Instead, it was perpetually "pending".)
Anyway, the basis for their denial was the potential for blackmail, which is a serious national security threat. Sometime within the past 25-30 years, they seem to have revised their policies so gay/bi people can get cleared, as long as they are open about it.
I’ve always wondered why markets haven’t switched to being open 24/7. Seems like having strict open hours is a relic of their pre-tech days.

Hypotheses, conjectures, speculations (however baroque) exist independently. The question is: what is needed for them to become 'theories' in math or science. A basic test is comparison to agreed-on facts. Prediction is considered to be a strong test because it uncovers -new- facts. Else: what's the point?

On the other hand, book are simply not as important as they were when libraries were created. Now we have multiple free, high-quality sources of information that are far easier to access than libraries ever were, for example, Wikipedia or the many sites where people share their literary works for free.
This is not an attempt to belittle books or libraries - both are still important resources. They are simply not the only show in town anymore, so if they weren't grandfathered in and someone tried to create libraries today, there would be obvious arguments against doing so, besides pure profit.
I’m sure it varies by model, but for whatever its worth I haven't noticed issues playing ps4 on my old models.
it used to be that way for "3d" tv's. I'm really hoping that "smart" tv's get relegated to the same fate.
You do understand that you're arguing for the complete subversion of a government system with the naive assumption that rules would only be violated according to your personal wishes?

If you have a problem with the rules, place the blame where the blame is due: the rule makers.
What we really need is a turnkey FOSS smart tv suite of software distributed as a NUC OS. I'd prefer for the NUC to handle the tuner part, too, and let the tv simply be a screen with speakers. Or even a screen with speakers, a few extra ports that are routed back into the NUC, an embedded antenna, maybe a microphone and a webcam... there's still a lot of cool things you could do as a manufacturer of televisions even if you gave up on the modern businesses of rent-seeking and surveillance. TV manufacturers actually make things, things people want and don't feel they can do without. They don't have to rely on the financial scams and deception that make up the rest of the economy to stay in business.

There's already a DRM standard for browsers. We don't need TVs to have proprietary bullshit preinstalled on them to have Netflix.
> This is obviously anecdotal, but it's always seemed to me that piracy is almost free advertising in some cases (though obviously not universally.)

Tim O'Reilly wrote a post in 2002 titled "Piracy is Progressive Taxation"[0]. Basically, the conclusion he came to after analyzing the data is that on average, piracy stimulates demand enough for net gain in sales for publishers, but it isn't distributed evenly: works in the fat head (eg. bestsellers, blockbusters, etc.) see a very small net loss (ie. for the most popular content piracy may displace sales a bit), but for everyone else it is a net gain, and the gain is bigger the less popular the content is.

I believe my statement holds true for any practical purpose being discussed, and it's particularly aimed at type 1 hypervisors. In a Xen setup you wouldn't say "dom0 doesn't control the vm traffic". It controls the hypervisor. The root partition is the same way in hyper-v:

Root Partition – Manages machine-level functions such as device drivers, power management, and device hot addition/removal. The root (or parent) partition is the only partition that has direct access to physical memory and devices.

It may not automatically send traffic through the windows FW because the networking setup now has traffic on a virtual switch/bridge, but the VPN creators have all the access they would ever need to control the networking from the root partition..
I've heard the solution to that is to set up an AP in your house that is either firewalled or doesn't have an outbound connection and connect your smart devices to that AP.
In my personal experience, TV as a separate device has been obsolete for at least 15 years.

A home cinema projector together with a PC and a wireless keyboard/mouse does much better. You get to choose what you watch, you see no ads, you can use it for gaming & browsing, and as long as you can be bothered to roll the blinds, you get plenty of contrast. You just can't beat that with a regular TV, no matter if it's dumb or smart.

In terms of breakage, no none that I’ve found. I can say it successfully blocks the big ad on the home screen and probably a lot of other requests too.
Finger trees (and other BSTs) are probably too slow for problems meant to be solved by segment trees.

The problem is that in competitive programming you receive your entire input at the beginning. So you never need to "rebalance" anything since you always know exactly where data needs to be filled/deleted (sometimes needing a coordinate compression step). This lets you work with a static complete binary tree which is extremely cache friendly and simple to code.

Augmented balanced search trees are still useful in competitive programming but are much rarer: https://cp-algorithms.com/data_structures/treap.html

> This issue is incredibly strange and severe.

Severe, yes. It doesn't seem that strange.

You could have a flow like:

Reset page receives email address and passes it to some backend functionality. The backend checks whether the email address corresponds to an account on the site. It does, so the backend generates a reset token and emails it to the address on the affected account.

All of that is supposed to happen. What's also happening is that the reset token is being returned to the reset page, where the person requesting the reset can see it. This is very bad, but it seems likely to have come from some sort of automatic connect-your-frontend-pages-to-backend-services framework solution.

Interesting. Though I did a web app for a single city event with 100 locations. I did the "distance to my current location" calculation without taking the curve into account, and it worked fine for that small area.

Also determined that 0,0 is located on the equator off africa south of england (kinda obvious in hindsite).. Which means you probably should make sure all your locations are geotagged before including on a map...
Happy to see this brought up. I consider myself to be a bit security minded and was astounded by the trash heap of similarly titled packages available while configuring a new install of pycharm. There is a serious glut of packages with names that appear to intentionally attract installations by mistake.

Some people are suggesting just don't connect your smart TV to the internet, others are suggesting it might still connect to open (unsecured) Wi-Fi networks.

Is there any major brand of smart TV's that will attempt to connect to open networks, in order to download updates, ads, send back data, without your consent?

I've never in my life had a Wi-Fi-enabled device that would connect to a network I didn't tell it to, and I'd view that as a major breach of norms/ethics/security/everything.

Is it fine to just not configure the Wi-Fi? Or are there brands that are actually known, proven, to circumvent that, if you have open Wi-Fi nearby? (I've been googling but can't find anything.)
This is more a story about a particular subset of unemployed that follow a rather stereotypical pattern, not the norm. They fizzle out around college, then practically never do anything which requires initiative after that.

I'm pretty sure this correlates heavily to the size of the black population in each country.

The UK having the largest and most well integrated black population shows in the lower instances of reported harassment. This rings true for me, certainly there is disenfranchisement and other forms of racism, but outright harassment is not something you see often (saying this as a white person). Honestly I would expect Polish and other eastern Europeans to face more harassment.

France I feel has a reasonably large black population but probably not as well integrated.

I think the chance of this happening is much higher if new updates are being pushed all the time...
Sounds like the worst of both worlds. You have a smart TV but it's locked down even more.
> (i.e. if you subscribe to the many-worlds theory then bogosort is always O(1) for at least one universe - you just need to discard the incorrect universes)

Does this same line of thinking conclude that P=NP in at least one universe, too? You can use a radioactive decay counter to generate quantum random numbers, interpret them as a answer to an NP problem, and then verify the solution in polynomial time the normal way? In at least one universe, that will always work on the first try.

Aspiring writers aspire to make a living off their work. It might be an entirely misguided career path, but they’re not aspiring to be destitute their entire life. Remove ownership of their own work, and the illusion that they’ll ever be able to earn a living from it disappears.

The only way to get to the point where you earn a living as a writer, or actor, or film maker, or painter... is to start off by doing it without getting paid. The fact that most people ultimately fail isn’t evidence that they’re not interested in succeeding.
Along those lines are the commercial display panels intended for digital signage and advertising use. They usually have a very bright picture, are very durable, and have typically been quite expensive but that seems to be changing.

For all the downvoters: I changed my iCloud password two days ago. Messages stopped syncing so I did the same thing I always have to do which is disable the account in Messages, restart the app and re-enable the account. Now for the last 12 hours the app is using 100% CPU and is still not caught up with all messages.

But yeah I'm sure that's my fault.

After all syncing messages from iCloud is a highly CPU intensive operation. It's a miracle we can do it at all.

I don't believe I argued anything like that, just pointing out the fallacy of "if the law exists what are they gonna do?". Some laws are enforced more stringently than others and it's always a matter of priorities and resources. I have no opinion on this particular case.

You are, of course, right that if a law can lead to bad outcomes of justice we mustn't rely on prosecutorial discretion.
