How does common law logically function in the real world?

Only when people know enough to enforce it?

That's kind of how the law works in all scenarios.

There are so many skeletons in the closets, however most are unenforceable because there is more reasonable precedent in the other direction.

If nothing else, I'd like to see a lot of law refactored into human readable language while keeping its meaning.
Seems similar to Fluid (https://fluidapp.com/) which i found useful many years ago, albeit Mac only and likely much lighter/simpler
If you have Windows (or linux), you can use DroidCam[1] to turn your Android (or iPhone) into a web cam. It can be over Wifi or USB. Very convenient. Also integrates with OBS for streaming etc.

When the internet has a publicly owned space that no private entity controls, you get to make that argument. Until then, platforms like Twitter are the next best thing we have to a public square (and in fact really the ONLY online public square), and that means that when our public political figures speak their voices must be made heard.

Arguing otherwise simply justifies using the rules as a sledgehammer to silence voices you don't like. The WH Press Secretary is a very, very loud voice that should be listened to whether you like it or not. She said nothing mean, nothing cruel, nothing divisive or illegal or inciting violence, she linked to a news story by the 4th largest publication in the US. This is about as vanilla as you can get and it is completely unjustifiable to block her account just for that.

Hm, I would report it but I’d be afraid they’d “fix” the copied app workaround as well.

I suspect it crashes because Handoff tries to start the last FaceTime binary I used, but some kind of signature has changed so it kills it immediately.

I’m not sure why it’s spotlight that crashes except that maybe its index is used to launch the last FaceTime I used?

Are humans similarly vulnerable?
It's a lot easier to develop a single software product continuously by tying continuous development to continuous revenue. It frees the business to devote its resources to development instead of product sales strategies and version differentiation which just distract it from focusing on its core product. This also enables their customers to do the same thing, tying continuous use of a service to continuous production of its own product or service. If a business can completely outsource the problem of providing good tools to their professional digital artists by paying Adobe $Xk/year, it might even be worth it to them financially just to save everyone the time of deciding whether to upgrade or not every other year. OS updated? New file format? Solved. New employee? Employee left? Solved.

This is like IT infrastructure moving to cloud: businesses decide that the problems of maintaining IT infrastructure 100% in house is not worth it when you can outsource a big chunk of the business problem for a known cost. In my opinion all of these are examples of the same trend that also includes the direction that k8s, serverless, even companies like uber, doordash, wework etc are moving towards: a global relaxation of artificially maintained buffers down to solving problems continuously, automatically, and on-demand. (Since it begs the question, my critique of uber, et al. is that they're trying to be too big for their problem.)

I think this is the general trend, but I don't know why. My guess is that it is vastly more efficient; not more efficient in cost, but more efficient in time.
> The bottom quartile of people thought that they would perform at around the 57th percentile. They clearly expected to perform better than more competent individuals.

I think you’re misunderstanding what Dunning & Kruger presented, which is precisely why references to this paper need to stop. You cannot read literally into the graph as saying that the bottom quartile of people believed they were at the 57th percentile of ability, that’s not what the experiment measured.

Have you read the actual paper? The respondents were 1- all Cornell undergrads volunteering for extra class credit, 2- asked to rank themselves, not to rate their abilities, 3- asked about such “skills” as the ability to get a joke. It seems pretty wild that anyone ever took this paper seriously. The conclusions that it makes in it’s wordy prose are not supported by the data they present.

Take a little more time to understand Tal’s primary argument - that this paper most likely is measuring regression to the mean. Because these kids were asked to rank themselves, and they didn’t know how good their peers were, there is good reason to expect a correllation less than 1. Because the authors were barely out of undergrad school themselves at the time, and not studying statistics per se, there is plenty of reason to suspect that the methodology isn’t perfect ... beyond the fact that it wasn’t a random sample of the population, it studied all rich kids who (self-selected) needed extra credit, it included no difficult mental skills, and that followup papers have shown a complete reversal of whatever effect is there, when applied to more difficult skills like law or engineering.

There are lots of systems which support life and run software which, if it fails, will cause death. Literal life-support systems are one obvious example, but there are many many more. All of that software is written by your colleagues.
If I can really trust their statistics, it's fine. But without knowing the number that's a nagging worry at the back of my mind. Because if we look at the new numbers they think are reasonable, 1TB or 5TB per user, that's not enough to hold normal backups of my data.

Sending in a saleman instead of an enforcing agent isn't much better if the salesman wants me to pay $100 a month.

You used the example of 100TB in another comment. I think 100TB would be a reasonable standin for unlimited when it comes to a single user. But would it be so hard to just say that somewhere? Maybe throttle uploads after that point? Instead you have one guy using 20TB per account and one guy using 2PB per account and they both get screwed by the change.
I was a structural engineer for Sikorsky. I think it's obvious we will not be replacing a machined titanium main rotor hub with a 3D printed part soon. The article touches on this. It will probably be non-structural components like buttons on an MFD.
Couldn't that be explained by the cycling introducing contamination (ie: along with the D2, H2, He it also brought in a few other atoms from the plumping or whatever)?
React in combination with something like styled system and tailwind, as well as a huge array of react specific libraries (eg. react-query, react-hook-form, downshift, etc.) make it tough to move to other ecosystems where those things need analogues, which are often less battle-tested.
Except that is a $1000+ setup.

You seem to be equating unprotected speech with violence. Perjury is also not protected under the 1st Amendment but there's nothing violent about it.

The only speech I would consider to even approach violence is a direct threat. And even that isn't really violence - it's the threat of violence.

Despite the (apparently) good support, the decision to "run away" when you hear Microsoft is still justified unfortunately. I've recently had the displeasure to work with Azure and not only the console UI is even worse than AWS but every single service, despite looking similar to the competition, is actually different in subtle ways (which you often don't realize until you get started implementing against it) and forces you to waste time working around some Microsoft dev's attempt at being smart[0].

[0]: as an example, obtaining root on a container in an Azure DevOps CI pipeline. You have to bind-mount the Docker management socket into the container, then use that to gain initial root access and install sudo, then use sudo to run all your commands. I don't recall ever having to do that on any other CI service.
Humans can hallucinate and are susceptible to optical and auditory illusions.
So you cannot say anything you like.

Or by that reasoning you could say anything you liked in the Soviet Union when Stalin was the big cheese but of course there were repercussions. Once upon a time we were taught there was a /fundamental/ difference between freedom, justice and Stalin's Soviet reigime that we were (and still are) dead against. The difference, which is a significant one right now, is not fundamental. It is just a difference of degree of those repercussions.

Interesting isn't it?

The CoreMediaIO DAL plugin path is very fraught because of GateKeeper/SIP mechanism all trying to stop 3rd party code from being loaded into apps.

The macOS kernel does have, in theory, the possibility to create a .kext that emulates a UVC USB device, so in theory all one had to do was to write a .kext that captures the DSLR/DSLM camera in kernel land, and brings up a virtual USB device that is then recognized by the standard UVC driver (eg. same as any other webcam).

Of course, that doesn't provide any camera settings controls, and the practical side of it is quite complicated, with sparse documentation and difficult development processes, it being a kext. Hence, nobody's done it, yet.
I wonder how this relates to "right to repair" topics.

Yes, that would be really cool. A while back I was thinking about something similar, when I was working on a social network for cancer patients. What if we can connect people by symptoms, medicine they are taking or their side effects, the doctor or facility they are visiting. Connect people to help them get through whatever they are experiencing, but also collect anonymous data to see patterns and offer suggestions.
“ If you genuinely believed the police are there to protect you, and not to ensure the status quo is enforced and continues, you are naive, or you are not part of a marginalized group. That is not meant to be an overly hateful statement.
Police (and other law-enforcement) are an exercise of the power of government. The former exists to ensure the latter can continue to exist.”

Do you know this is just regurgitated political theory from Karl Marx and wasn’t considered even remotely true for thousands of years?

Is it true now? Probably not, but you seem convinced it’s true...

"...people will similarly jump in to correct the wrong belief."

This works really well when you have a question about something. If you post a question asking for answers or ideas you often get crickets. But if you post an idea that is clearly wrong you usually get lots of people jumping in to correct you.
Where does this idea come from that unprotected speech == violence? Perjury is not protected speech, do you think that is violent?

Violence is fundamentally a physical thing. Incitements to violence and threats of violence are bad, but they are not the same thing as violence.
The thing humans have, that so far trained machine-learning models seem to lack, is a fairly reliable BS detector. I think the best example of this is an inkblot test. Sure I can look at an inkblot and see fanciful shapes, maybe a chair, maybe two rabbits kissing, whatever. But in the back of my mind, I also know perfectly well that I'm looking at an inkblot; I can entertain all the other classifications, but would never accept them as fact.

The question becomes, how do we give an AI the concept of a BS detector? How can we train it to know, somehow, that the classification it has just made with a high degree of confidence makes no sense? This seems like a very difficult problem to solve.

The issue is going to be whether the 3d printed parts can fit the requirements for the conditions the prior parts were used in. Can laser sintering produce a bolt or pin that can withstand the same forces as other manufacturing techniques? Or will there be weaknesses in it. There are some parts that shouldn't be a problem, but many others where serious study is going to be required to verify that the aircraft won't break in a catastrophic way while in flight.

As a non-3d printing example: A drone aircraft used a COTS product as its drive shaft. The same part was bought for years, no problem. Suddenly the drones started literally falling from the sky. Turned out the COTS product had changed manufacturing source and the quality of the steel was inferior, leading to frequent failures.

3d printed parts need to be reliable enough to replace things like that, or we need to tone down our enthusiasm and realize most of the 3d printed parts are going to be door handles and similar non-stressed or non-critical parts.

The Republican Party is based on racism and hatred, and opposes democracy. For some reason this rather obvious fact is a controversial statement to make here. It’s like HN is stuck in 1990’s-era equivocation or something.

Hunter's laptop wasn't hacked. After abandoning it, the laptop and all its contents became the property of the store owner. This is similar to a storage unit. If you don't pay, the owner is legally justified in taking possession of all your stuff and is not guilty of breaking and entering or theft.

Nothing I've seen of Elon Musk's behavior (boring tunnels meant primarily for cars in pods, anyone?) suggests that he wants fewer cars on earth. In fact, it would be a pretty bonkers philosophy with which to run the most valuable car company on earth.

To add, back in the old days when I still went into the heart of my local metropolis, Uber and Lyft style carpooling had the opposite effect of "reducing the number of cars". The streets are littered with pee bottles and packed with desperate drivers looking to score a quick buck, making u-turns across traffic while looking at their phones.

We'll always build something "like" socializing online. Humans don't stop "humaning" if you get my meaning.

Bad analogy, corporations aren't citizens.
It's the opposite.

Heat is notoriously difficult to measure accurately, especially when small amounts are being produced or if the experiment runs over a long time.

Heat can also have many sources, some of which aren't expected by even highly experienced experimenters.

For example, hydrogen has spin isomers, and the conversion of orthohydrogen into parahydrogen releases energy.

Metals like palladium can also release surprising amounts of energy due to lattice or adsorption effects.

Graphite absorbs neutrons in reactors and can store sufficient energy in the lattice structure defects that it's a hazard if released too quickly.

Electrical interference can produce currents that are absorbed in the metal. Residual magnetic fields release energy if the metal is demagnetised. Etc...

Meanwhile, measuring the production of new elements is trivial, even in tiny amounts, and cannot possibly occur via only chemical processes. Crystal structure, phase transitions, external fields, etc... have no effect on this measurement. It is a simple, reliable, accurate measurement.

If you see a scientist insisting that you pay attention to the unreliable metric and waves his hands to explain why you should ignore the reliable metric then it's a safe bet that he's either fooling you, or he fooled himself.

On the contrary, the development of Nomad has really taken off over the last 9-12 months.

At the beginning of the year when my new team was starting to dig into the technologies we were going to be using in our new (to us) ecosystem, Nomad was hovering at the bottom of the list mainly from the lack of critical features we would be needing (namely, persistent storage solutions for containerized jobs but there were some other reasons I can't remember off the top of my head).

It was, I believe, around the 0.10 release that they laid out a roadmap for implementing the CSI spec on top of things like adding Autoscaling that we decided to go with it. This was back sometime before COVID lockdowns started and since then we've deployed it, along side Consul and Vault, to run our new internal production metrics/code coverage services.

Given we have committed to it, I've closely followed and have participated in it's development (in the form of a documentation contribution as well as assisting with a few issues related to the CSI implementation) and definitely believe the products development is moving much faster than it had been.

Keep in mind, Cloudflare is now using Nomad in (almost?) all of its data centers and Roblox has built out it's game server infrastructure using Nomad as it's orchestrator too. Hashicorp would be insane to throw away a product being used at that kind of scale.
