Sorry, but what's your complaint about this specific piece from the NYT?

Just skimming, I see 21 links to other sources. I haven't clicked through on all of them. It appears to weigh various pros and cons. It seems even handed to me on a quick skim.

Further, the NYT has many sections and voices. This piece is specifically from from The Upshot which has this tagline: "Analysis that explains politics, policy and everyday life, with an emphasis on data and charts."

And this specific piece is written not by a reporter, but by a expert in the field: Austin Frakt is director of the Partnered Evidence-Based Policy Resource Center at the V.A. Boston Healthcare System; associate professor with Boston University’s School of Public Health; and a senior research scientist with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

I appreciate the rest of your comment.

> So don't get-rid, now where is "the problem"?

Well, not every software manufacturer want's to deploy all development tools used to develop the software and possibly code which is only meant to be used inhouse. And if you e.g. deploy to safety-related targets you even have to demonstrate that there is no "dead code" (e.g. DO-178). Of course it doesn't matter for hobby or non-critical applications.

> So application source code isn't just text that can be saved in text files and versioned like other text files

In ST80 source code is just an external dump file; the actual configuration unit is the virtual image. Bootstrapping a virtual image from source code in ST80 is very difficult or nearly impossible.
It's possible that in the long term because Waymo doesn't need to pay drivers their overhead will be lower, which could mean lower prices for riders. Of course, Waymo cars have very expensive computers in them, and maintenance might be expensive, and the AI used to drive the cars is expensive, and they might need to have backup safety drivers (at least at first), so whether they're actually cheaper remains to be seen.

No where in the copyright statute does it explicitly call out a software API as being copyrightable. The representation of one may be, but not the API itself extending copyright protection to APIs now is nothing less than legislating from the bench. It should be a legislative decision, not a judicial one.

You are referring to the Pinto Analysis.

Car manufacturers don't do that anymore. They learned from Ford's mistake with the Pinto. Also, it costs significantly more to replace parts by recall than it does to simply hold back vehicles at the factory, on the order of 10-20x as much $$$, since there are additional legal and regulatory requirements associated with recalls, and generally releasing a car with known flawed parts means treble damages come into play in any legal proceeding (meaning, 3x damages awarded to the plaintiff).
Hyperbolic? Literally both are backed by factual examples. Did you read the article?

Not a very good example considering New Relic dominates that space. Also, companies adapt their description to include latest trending words such as observability.
For the moment one advantage is you can't catch anything from a driver since there isn't one.

Long term it should be possible for the service to be cheaper than manned since they don't have to pay a driver.

I just wanted to mention that I don't believe memory leaks are technically considered memory unsafe, and so while a leak is generally more difficult to create, it is possible to do in safe Rust vs. something like use-after-free.

Hey HN, just wanted to show you our latest product we just launched at Lambda. Essentially we have an HPC engineer sit down with you, understand your machine learning team's workload, and then design a custom cluster for you.

Do you want reviews on specific knives or specific steels used in knives?

/r/knifeclub generally has decent reviews from time to time on the knives themselves (build quality, design, ergonomics, annoyances) and there are some ok YouTubers that review knives as a channel (this sort of content gets really repetitive and common themes for a brand start to emerge) but in depth steel analysis tends to exist mostly on blogs like the article linked or YouTubers that are more focused on knife sharpening skills, or content that overlaps on industrial or academic metallurgy.

Like most hobbies you can geek out on, you quickly reach a point of diminishing returns on your investment. If you don't plan on diving in completely and just want a single really high end pocket knife go budget $300-$400 (you may not spend it all), survey the landscape and buy what appeals to you most, otherwise you're going to sink a grand or two into sampling everything trying to discern the differences yourself.
Plex supports Nvidia GPUs for hardware transcoding, so you could pick up a cheaper Nvidia GPU and stick it in the build, but that will probably not be possible for small builds.

But is the issue receiving a null or is it how unexpected the null is? Assuming that functions always can return null is way too tedious, so in practice my issue with dynamic languages like Python is that I'm never sure whether a function can actually return null.

“The United States has been enormously successful blocking terrorists, rogue regimes, and their supporters from funding their activity using traditional currencies,”

Have they though? How much money has been proven to be laundered through the traditional banking systems, with the support of the banks. This argument against crypto currencies is equivalent to the pedo arguments about cryptography. It's simply BS.

The market cap of all crypto currencies combined is insignificant compared to the cap of fiat currencies used in illicit activities. There is little to no threat from crypto that we don't already have with fiat. The "threat" is a red herring.

This is quite unfortunate news but not surprising. This effectively turns Privacy Badger for the majority of users into another block list.

Yes. Privacy Badger was not just an anti-tracker. It's also something of an ad blocker. Since ad sites tend to track, it learns to block them.

Checking "cnn.com" right now, Privacy Badger is blocking 36 sites. These include "static.ads-twitter.com", "c.amazon-adsystem.com", "www.googletagmanager.com", "ad.doubleclick.net", and "amplify.outbrain.com". Blocking those knocks out most of the ads from the big players. Two of those are Google's, and they probably don't like being blocked by a large number of users.

Taking that away to prevent a theoretical approach to tracking seems like a sell-out by EFF.
Big startups such as New Relic have editors that review everything that goes online. For small startups that are just starting sure.
Yeah, it was a significant infrastructure cost. I heard at one time that the single largest computer at Google was the Perforce server. They ended up completely re-writing it (called "Piper") for scaling.
This is sort of what I was alluding to with my comment about Google having different concerns than many other companies. They can afford to dedicate a number of engineers to maintaining a monorepo system and then re-writing when it doesn't scale. That said, I personally believe that there are a lot of benefits to monorepos, and I think those tradeoffs are worth it for other companies too.
That's partly why you have a span like "Copyright 2018-2020" - you are saying some of this material is older, some isn't. You need to keep copies of the older version with the older copyright to be clear which parts were invented when.

The biggest promise of crypto is that it is immune to government censorship / control. It can free us from the hidden taxation of inflation, and government coercion.

The air flows around the train, same as a subway. The low-pressure tube still maintains an lower net pressure and corresponding reduction in a drag vs. a tunnel with standard temperature and pressure, even if there are variations in static pressure along the length of the tube.
That was my first impression too. It was extraordinary that that comment was said positively by the CFO, rather than critically by a shareholder or journalist.

What Xeon and Xeon motherboard with ECC support are "cheap?"

In that price range, AMD markets Threadripper and Epyc, both with proper ECC support.

ECC support in Ryzen systems is up to the motherboard manufacturer, and some manufacturers advertise support very clearly. E.g., at least a couple years ago, ASRock explicitly supported ECC in all their Ryzen motherboards.

I am working on quitting reddit and joining the "homebrew website" camp as the bulk of my online presence. I don't expect it to be the next reddit, because I don't want a next reddit. The internet on social media is big, fast, and dehumanizing. I want the internet to feel smaller, slower, and more personal. I think the only answer is for everyone to build their own website. Unfortunately there's not much money to be made in that.

We were using AWS SSM previously which got exponentially more difficult to manage with each service we added, we had stumbled upon Doppler while spinning up a new service and decided to give it a shot.

Which OS are you running there? If it’s Windows, does your software have an option to select MS Media Foundation for video encoding/decoding?

In my experience, GPU vendors, all 3 of them, are including reasonably well-made media foundation hardware transforms as a part of their GPU drivers. MF API is vendor agnostic. Apart from a few bugs I found in Intel’s drivers (it was about h265 hardware encoder, Intel neglected to react), the same API works with all capable hardware.
The hidden taxation of inflation is a feature. It creates an incentive for people to invest, instead of, like dragons, uselessly sitting on a pile of money.
This. I live in Queens and it's not hard to get to Penn Station, but it's also not hard for me to get to LaGuardia, either.

I can get to LaGuardia in a little less time than it takes to get to Penn Station, especially if I don't go during peak rush hour. I have TSA Pre-check, so I typically don't have to deal with 1 hour+ security lines.

When I head to DC, I take the train simply because it's more comfortable, the trip is typically more consistent, and I don't have to worry about bringing "bad" items like a normal sized tube of toothpaste.

When I visit the DC suburbs and exurbs, as I have family and friends there, flying and particularly driving tend to ultimately come out ahead in terms of convenience and time.

Worth noting that more people live in Queens than Manhattan or Fairfax County, Virginia than DC.

Manhattan is definitely the center of the NY metro area, and virtually all business is conducted there, but that is much less true for DC. The DC suburbs actually have a ton of jobs.

It's an imperfect analogy, but the DC area is perhaps closer to the Bay Area in terms of having multiple employment centers. Maybe more extreme.

Hey there! I completely agree with you on the tradeoffs between UX and security when it comes to end-to-end encryption. It's a tricky balance to get right, and I think it's great that there are multiple approaches out there in the market. People should weigh their own unique needs and comfort level when making the choice.

That said, a Content Security Policy doesn't actually address the issue I'm raising, because an attacker with server access could simply remove or modify it.
As a scientist: The amount I struggled with getting distributed training on a HPC cluster to work vs. how easy it was with Lightning was eye opening. Almost no code change and finally I can run across 20 nodes with 4 V-100 each :). Plus the automatic SLURM checkpoints and restarts <3.

> “I’m worried that the severance package was too good”

Yeah... I'm genuinely curious how many people actually quit over the "apolitical" stance, vs employees that were just unhappy with the job in general and took this convenient opportunity to leave with a pretty sweet deal.
This is amazing! Differences are so obvious.

It would be great to cluster other co-occurring words and use them to get more context when matching between the speakers. Or sprinkle with synonyms.

But as is, it's eye opening.
OS/2 1.x was co-developed by IBM and Microsoft. There are some resemblances between OS/2 1.x and Windows 3.x APIs, because many of those APIs were actually designed by the same Microsoft employees – for example, most OS/2 API calls starting with Win* have a similarly named Windows 3.x API call, just without the Win* prefix. (Despite similarities like that, the APIs are incompatible; they probably would have been more compatible if it were not for IBM's influence – for example, OS/2 and Windows use different coordinate systems in their graphics API, because IBM insisted OS/2 had to use the same coordinate system as IBM's mainframe graphics software, GDDM.)

Microsoft and IBM have cross-licensing agreements allowing use of OS/2 code in Windows and vice versa. Microsoft used this to include OS/2 compatibility components in old versions of Windows NT (newer versions have removed it); likewise, IBM used it to include a copy of Windows 3.x in OS/2 to enable running Windows 3.x applications. (The agreement did not include newer software they developed after their breakup, so IBM wasn't allowed to use the Windows 95 or Windows NT code in OS/2, nor was Microsoft allowed to use OS/2 2.x and higher code in Windows.)

So, the odds of IBM trying to sue Microsoft over OS/2 APIs in Windows is zero. It would be precluded by the licensing agreement between them.

Not at all. If you import workers, they might fill a slot for one job, but they are also consumers. They need food, and mattresses and haircuts and everything else it takes to live in America.

> Women couldn't sign a mortgage in the US in the 70's.

yeah you're going to need to provide a source for such a ridiculous claim. My grandmother has owned her house for much longer than that.

* edit: all you downvoters need to look at the claim being made instead of bringing up different issues. credit cards are not mortgages. "couldn't sign" is not the same as "needed a cosigner" or "discounted rates". the original claim implies that women could not own houses through a bank loan, which is very much false.

> Google was absolutely trying to achieve interoperability with Java

I don't think this is such an easy argument. Google's interest was ultimately the bottom line.

Without discussing the copyrightability, from a strictly monetary perspective, APIs are product that, in this case, has a very high monetary value (market share == $$$), and Google chose it for this very specific reason (developers == market share == $$$). Again, I don't imply that copyrightability is good or bad, but the entire matter has been about money, and strictly from that perspective, ownership has a sense.
