> This is absurd. That the US is a country where business, markets, profits have been prioritized over people is blatantly obvious for everyone that's not a free market fundamentalist where every single instance of a negative outcome needs to be excused by either "it's not free enough" or "other's are actually also rather free", or ofc, put the blame on the government.

This is a bit of word salad, but 1) these traits exist in so many other advanced wealthy countries that pointing it out is irrelevant, and 2) the US is a mixed economy -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States

Yes, and all of those countries I listed out are "free market" "capitalist" "market oriented" societies.

Many countries with strong unions have seen a similar or even greater decline in labor share of income than the US. The US is not really much different than any other advanced economy on that front: https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/featured%20insight... (page 5). In the US, labor’s share of income is less than France, about the same as Germany, and more than Spain. It’s significantly higher than Sweden, which has robust unions. Moreover, nearly all the decline in labor’s share of income happened between 2000 and today (page 6). The decrease was very slight from 1947 to 2000. But unions stopped being a significant force in the US long before 2000.

This reaction of yours is illuminating, because it shows how little you know about how healthcare even works. I don't work for an insurance company, I write software that's used by insurance companies to process claims and price fees. This is an abstract actuarial function that's necessary regardless of whether a private entity or a public entity is the insurer. Public government insurers do not manually process claims by hand one-by-one. Ditto pricing, I work on generating fee schedules. You know where else fee schedules are used? Medicare and Medicaid. Their actuaries use software similar to what I work on to model risk and determine what premiums (or tax contributions) should be, and how much physicians should be paid.
Declaring APIs copyrightable is disgusting.
(Talking about Google Wave) I liked it in theory! In practice it felt super awkward and almost privacy-invasive, but I think that's because we weren't use to it. If it became commonplace, it would ultimately seem more natural.
If I copy a book's Table of Contents, but write the chapters myself, am I violating the original book's copyrights? Isn't it pretty much analogous to what's in contention here?
My comment was flippant because your comment was useless. Of course if you decide to use something like docker you will force yourself into a performance corner. This would happen with literally any piece of software. It's not then valid to use that as a way of requiring a better cpu. No what you need is to get your development environment in order.

Btw docker is only standard for CI systems. Never would I advise anyone to actually use docker for local development let alone 10 docker instances at once. It's just pure insanity.
The work you do together is political. It of course isn’t necessarily directly engaged with USA national politics, but it’s directly engaged in politics.

Politics is a very broad and encompassing concept. It isn’t synonymous with some nation’s representative political system.

This court hasn't decided anything on the issue, so that's a bit premature unless its a response to the general concept of the Supreme Court deciding anything, in which case its a bit...tangential.
This question has been asked many times, I've seen very few constructive answers, the most common success story being starting a startup/becoming a founder. Usually someone says they tried management and they hated it. Some say product, but those roles are hard to transition into

Doesn't surprise me. I did an on-site a while back and several of the interviewers seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else rather than in the interview room. It's a good thing the product has scaled well because it seems like the culture hasn't.
There's also Flutter, interestingly by Google (not sure what their strategy is here, as their main interest should be to keep the world's information indexable which becomes difficult when people use more native apps as opposed to the web).
I agree. I have a coworker who does this on the phone too. "Hey, how are you?", ugh. Look, you didn't call me and interrupt whatever I was doing to chit chat, tell me what the damned problem is.
> Disrupting that with no replacement waiting is a short path to a completely failed state.

This is one potential outcome, and in a banana republic I may even agree that it is the most likely outcome. But the USA is a lot more robust than it appears, and I feel highly certain that the (largely manufactured) polarization that we observe is actually quite shallow. My concern is that if we throw Trump out and elect yet another insider, we will immediately resume the former status quo...lip service towards the genuine problems in the world, and plenty of catering to powerful corporations and the military industrial complex (I have the feeling way are waaaaaaaaay overdue for an "existential threat" from some tinpot middle eastern dictator). And then before too long: War with China.

It's not a good choice, and it is risky, but I continue to believe that the chaos Trump sows acts as sand in the gears of the powerful, and exposes the media and other politicians for the propagandists they are. Most people seem to be still fully under their spell (many to immediately fall into another trap: conspiracy theory, which is fixable, being mostly a symptom), but many have woken up.

What's missing is, the people that have woken up don't know what to believe, or believe in. The West has no vision for the future, other than the same old bullshit story politicians of both sides of the aisle have been selling people for decades (as our military lays waste to 3rd world countries over completely manufactured pretenses, while the media runs cover for them). We need a new story, and it has to be at least fairly true, and plausible, and acknowledge the real barriers to achievement, rather than making up a whole bunch of fantasy land fake problems.

That's my take on it anyways.
It's also one of nine nuclear powers and one of ten to have developed space launch capability. It also scores near the top of the international math olympiad regularly. What makes you certain North Korea hasn't similarly invested in developing security researchers?

> My sleep schedule has ranged from atypical to disastrous, but that has been true for almost all of my adult life.

This is been my life as well, with the exception of a few years when I was doing over an hour of cardio per day (first on a swim team and later as a hobbyist distance runner).

It's so hard to shut down after just a 24 hour cycle but not doing so always catches up with you.
Yes on 22 Supported by Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, Postmates

Notably the Republican led Senate report confirms that the GRU used fake personas to try to cover their links to Wikileaks, including this ("Seth Rich did it") specific theory (page 220)

The live feed of talk/ytalk/etc was a mixed bag. If the person you were chatting with was a decent typist it was great as you could process what they were writing as they were typing.

But much more often the person on the other end was super slow, constantly making and then slowly fixing their typos, etc. I spent most of my time getting frustrated watching them muddle through
"Through September 23, 2020, Yes on Proposition 22 received $184.3 million, which is the most funds that an initiative campaign has ever received in California (not adjusted for inflation). Uber contributed $50 million, Lyft provided $48 million, DoorDash contrubuted $47 million, InstaCart provided $28 million, and Postmates provided $11 million.

The campaign No on Prop 22 received $10.7 million. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, SEIU-UHW West, Service Employees International Union, United Food & Commercial Workers Local 770, and United Food & Commercial Workers Western States Issues PAC—labor unions or union-affiliated committees—were the top-five donors to No on Prop 22."

Are you basing your hypothesis on the adult population that has gone through our existing pro-conformity, pro-follow-instructions educational system...?
If you think 100% of the population of the United States is in quarantine now, I suggest you check the definition of quarantine.

If you relax "restrictions" on a part of the population, more of that population becomes infected. If you do not increase the restrictions on the remainder of the population, the higher prevalence increases the transmission rate in that remainder. And thus deaths.

I'm sorry if my existence is inconveniencing you.
"The fourth factor measures the effect that the allegedly infringing use has had on the copyright owner's ability to exploit his original work. The court not only investigates whether the defendant's specific use of the work has significantly harmed the copyright owner's market, but also whether such uses in general, if widespread, would harm the potential market of the original. The burden of proof here rests on the copyright owner, who must demonstrate the impact of the infringement on commercial use of the work."

It would be up to Microsoft to demonstrate that Wine impact the market for Windows license sales. I strongly doubt they can do that regardless how much they have spent on documentation and developer tools. Wine does not replace the need for an operative system, and if the usage ever become widespread enough to harm the market for windows then developers would just support programs natively for Linux, side stepping the need for wine.

Wine is not a market substitute for Microsoft windows, which is the first consideration that courts look at. Courts would then look if there is a potential existence of a licensing market (ie Microsoft licensing out the ABI) which again does not seems very likely. Failing those two tests it would be a rather uphill battle for Microsoft to demonstrate Wine impact on the market for Windows license sales.
We realize that storing secrets requires trust and for some companies it may be outside of their comfort zone at the moment. We are currently focused on creating a super easy to use solution. An analogy: there are open source versions of Dropbox for users that don't trust Dropbox with their files (NextCloud, ownCloud, etc.), however this comes with the friction of having to host your own solution. We are more like Dropbox, where we want to create a solution that is incredibly easy to install, manage, and work with. That being said, a self-hosted solution is top of our mind as we totally acknowledge that some companies would not want to use a hosted solution.

This might be illegal in California, which considers political activity to be a protected class.
Do I understand correctly that they spend years preparing for a presidential race, but can't sit down with their teams and make a roadmap on what they plan to achieve in 4 years? So in 4 years we can actually see what they have achieved. Is that really that much to ask?
Yeah, I corrected the comment.

I also find it weird that "conservative" judges are expected to support APIs copyrightability. Is it because conservative is supposed to mean opposed to progress? Declaring APIs copyrightable is going to hurt the progress and technology.
My Athlon is in a case next to my left knee. I was almost scared off by the Intel hyper but not too sure of AMD spin. We're all casualties of marketing departments. In the end I bought AMD because it was cheaper than Intel.
I loved ResEdit. I especially loved its decompiler; with it you could view the source of any application, and even patch it in place.

I was so proud the day I took a text editor desk accessory, designed for good ol' Mac Plus 512x384 screens, and removed the window size limitation so I could have big windows on my humungous 1024x768 display.
Hi, federal agents and banksters.
One of the ways copyright and patents differ is that patents can be infringed even if it's proven you had no prior knowledge of said patent, but copyright requires actual copying to infringe.

Independently arriving at the same API name is a defense from copyright violations. If both of us write the exact same method name, and we can both prove we didn't copy the other's, that's enough. We both have copyright over our own api call that we wrote.

Copyright probably shouldn't apply in any case that we could both independently create the same thing (in the same way the sentence "Hi, how are you" isn't copyrightable, but a chapter of shakespeare is -- the former is not a real expression of unique creativity).

So no, copyright does not determine the "1 true owner" of something that was not copied. That's patents.
That's nice. But the first page of results in both columns is ads, for "coronavirus". It needs to be combined with ad suppression.

Reading Fox News and CNN side by side, what's striking is not what the stories say, but the selection of stories on the front page. They seem to be drawn from different universes.
Maybe we should still setup a trading account and buy ? Who knows where the stock will climb if Intel's image degrades further ?
> The cartoon fox is really infantilizing. I know probability is tricky and sometimes counterintuitive, and I appreciate being taught things, but don't treat me like I'm in kindergarten.

Have you considered that you are quite possibly both more educated and more intelligent than the people whose experience the cartoon fox is designed to improve. Sure, I don't need it, but I haven't even noticed it since the first time I went to the forecast page this cycle.
I don’t mind this behaviour. It can be difficult to coordinate when you don’t know whether the other person is done yet or not. Back in the old days we used to, as the end of the article says, send lots of little bits of text to deal with this (to older/less internet-savvy people’s great annoyance, as they treated chat just like email, and would be furious when their wall of text was responded to with half a sentence!) but it made the chat very disjointed and you’d end up having to deal with multiple simultaneous stands of conversation. Anyway, the real problem is people who ask “what were you typing?” when you delete your message or take a long time. You don’t want to know!

I’ve never used a ‘live’ chat like he describes but I really like the idea. Is there anything modern that provides that?
In what way? I don't see any fundamental difference between discovering GNU/Linux packages and Android ones (in the "stores" I've used -- f-droid, /e/ apps, and Aurora).
Yup, same here. It takes a ton of discipline to keep a 24-hour cycle.
Just a small nitpick point: data is collected in the order of a GB per minute so there's no way they're reporting back even a fraction of the data gathered.
Is that really generally applicable to supersonic flight, or are these features good for preventing stall at high angle of attack flying, but otherwise bad for fuel economy? Yes, I've read about less mechanical complexity and weight reduction.

Also, for now they are using some variant of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_J85

No clue, just wondering.

edit: Also just wondering why nobody tries that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_lift thing like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_XB-70_Valkyrie did. Shockwave -> compression lift -> less loud sonic boom because transformed at least in parts to lift?

That's not exactly true. You can't photocopy it and start printing your own.

Couldn't edit my comment above to add: The interoperability argument is also disingenuous because Google didn't copy all of Oracle's Java libraries. It only copied the ones it deemed necessary to provide sufficient coverage for the needs of the Android platform and that developers of Oracle's Java community were familiar with. As the justices pointed out, it's a one-way interoperability.
I find Atlas really interesting and may yet use it, but how does it reduce the need for fundraising?
They spend it before the inflationary effect occurs, so yes, it is a transfer of wealth from holders of dollars to banks.

The hoarding obviously isn't in cash, just look at their financial reports to know what they do with the money, and it largely isn't lending to businesses for expanding production. Since deregulation, much of the new money has gone to buying stocks. Not exactly helping the economy. As long as the stock market appreciates faster than the prime rate, it makes sense to borrow money from the fed to buy stocks. Especially if the fed is buying stocks too, keeping the market in perpetual inflation driven growth.
Can anyone knowledgeably speak to what these gizmos can and can't do? Can I tell it to "please back into the driveway on the left side, but not so close that I can't open the garage door, and open the trunk, so I can easily load a box of my stuff"? Or "please go around to the back entrance where they deliver the to-go orders"? "No, down there where that guy is standing." Etc.
It’s a bummer that Coinbase’s ploy to intentionally conflate not supporting the Black Lives Matter movement (that is, a clear implicit endorsement of the status quo) with generalized left/right-political-activism-at-work seems to have worked, at least for a lot of people who aren’t paying attention.

This isn’t about office politics, or political activism at work. This is about Coinbase making an explicit vote for the status quo of American racism, and trying to deflect the heat they’re taking for that by confusing people into thinking that this is about standard political discussion.

It makes me really angry that they would do this.

It makes me really sad that it worked.

I guess with that much money you can hire really good PR people to shape the narrative into exactly what you want, and dupe tons of people who are rightfully tired of the american culture war into thinking that this has anything to do with that.
Man, I've always actually kinda wondered about this.

I know it's macabre, but I think about human migratory routines and when different groups clashed back when life was so primitive and brutish, they're must've been those tendencies to rape and sexually conquer the opposition.

Surely that is reflected in the genetic ledger of time. What a crazy insight. Genetics is such an interesting field. It's bonkers there's just strings of data that we can read the past through.
Isn't that exactly what the article is saying about the justices worrying it could "undermine copyright of computer programs"? What is the difference between an API (interface) and implementation? The algorithm. And algorithms are not copyrightable.

A lot can be interpreted into the law when it is beneficial for everybody to do so. But interpretation has its limits. Some laws must be made explicit by the legislature.

I'm also having a 3950x for Rust work and it has been the fastest CPU I've ever used. It just flies every day and makes rust compilation times not an issue anymore.

That means, I really don't know do I want to have the trouble of finding the 5950x and the work of replacing the CPU. I really don't feel like I need more CPU power at this point.

But replacing my 2080ti with a new fast Radeon, that would be something...
