The ability to terminate transfers and licenses is covered by 17 USC 203 (plus some other sections with different timetables and rules for transfers/licenses that occurred before 1978).

There's an interesting and formally unresolved (because the applicable window for the earliest "copyleft" works hasn't yet arrived, for one thing) question about how this interacts with things like CC0, GPL, and more informal licenses to the public at large. The law requires the termination to fall into a specific 5-year window, with advance notice in writing (and it must be multiple years in advance), served specifically to the person whose rights are being terminated.

The sheer logistics of trying to terminate a license granted to the world are therefore pretty difficult, but you could imagine termination targeting just a handful of lucrative targets. (Even then, when does a generally-available license "start"? When it's first offered? When the specific user first accesses the work? Is the timeframe "refreshed" every day the license is still on offer? This provision really wasn't written with these kinds of licenses in mind.)
What? Britain was bankrupted by the war effort. Lend-Lease was almost entirely donations, and only 10% of the US expenditure in the war.
> 110V single-phase power to residences.

The US is 120V, or split-phase 240 V. Depending where you are, it's allowed to be ±5% at the meter. NEC guidelines say no more than 3% voltage drop from there.

Typical residential service in the US is 240v single phase. The transformer on the pole is putting out 240v, but there's a center tap on the transformer that's bonded to ground. That's your neutral. The other two legs are essentially +120v and -120v relative to ground/neutral. Your dryer hooks up to both legs and sees the full 240v. Don't ask me how grounding works for 240v appliances. I have no idea.

I am not an electrician or EE. I just spent a bunch of time looking into this when I got my 240v table saw and had to hook it up to something.

As proof that I'm not totally bullshitting you: until recently our house had a 120v outlet on a 240v breaker for a baseboard radiator. The electrician was here to fix an unrelated issue, and rejiggered things in the panel to hook it up to a 120v breaker.

As far as I understand it (not very) there is no such thing as two-phase power.
> Both 120 degrees out of phase. So if you remember elementary school math the abs() of phase A at its peak of +120 and phase B at it's valley of -120 = 240.

I think you mean 180 degrees out of phase.
It looks like cheerleading is a monopoly in the US based on related articles due to the governing bodies being controlled by the same commercial entity and that entity blocking the formation of competing events.

However, USA Gymnastics is not a monopoly, and there are other entities that organize gymnastics competitions (and most gymnastics competitions are not USA Gymnastics competitions). USA Gymnastics is simply the organization that is tasked with overseeing the national championship and Olympic qualifiers.

There is absolutely no monopoly in running. There are literally thousands of different races around the world, and nearly as many race organizers. Each of the big major marathons is organized by a different company. Each of the major track events is put on by a different company. There are dozens of running shoe and apparel brands. There are hundreds of running clubs like Nike's Oregon Project, many of which were just as, or even more successful, as NOP (see, e.g. North Arizona Elite).

> Close, Three phase systems actually are a carry over from the days of early induction motors.

It's not just some historical accident. We continue to use multi-phase power because it enables continuous delivery of power (unlike single-phase, where the delivered power drops to zero at least twice per cycle). And two phases require just as many wires as three phases, with more power delivered for a given mass of copper and insulation, so... we use three.

> If the current on phase a is 20 amps and the current on phase B is 20 amps what is the return current on my neutral?

That depends on the (complex) impedance in each branch. In the pathological case, the current on the neutral could be as high as 40 Amps.

Yes, the overhead is per-syscall. The number of read() syscalls shrinks as the per-call buffer grows.

With mmap() of course we only ever have one syscall to create the initial mapping. Everything else is a memory read.

We can get read() down to just one syscall too, with a 4G buffer ;) I can't recall if GB sized buffers are possible, but I have certainly used MB sized read buffers for exactly this reason.

>It's as if the US grid characteristics were decided by the copper vendors...

It was designed without an issue with copper usage. Europe had very little development and quit a bit of rationing while building out the grid post-WW2. The US had no such issue and spent no time working within those constraints.
Yep, you can run into weird issues at times with devices/firewalls that are misconfigured. Saw more than 1 admin that would drop anything from a .0 as "it is a bad address and nothing from that address should cross a router".
I did a similar thing with some old VHS. I used an SVHS VCR that had component output, a firewire digitizer, a firewire PCI card, a PC, and some Windows software to capture the raw video from the firewire card. There were zero audio sync issues.

Tearing at the top and bottom of the image is unavoidable. You just have to crop the top & bottom of the video. If you look carefully at the author's example video, you can see that the professional video was zoomed in slightly, indicating that it was cropped.

good god is this overdramatic. This whole thread is. Google is a good citizen, but people on hacker news just love a good story about tearing up big tech. How is society better off with google torn up? Arguments I expect and don't accept:

1. It allows alt search engine or alt browser to succeed. So what? The alt search engines and browsers are worse than the google ones. It doesn't benefit any actual people to have them rise up.

2. Google screwed my friend one time. Every single company (and person) on earth is guilty of this. One swallow does not a summer make.

3. Google is restricting this tech I like, or google is sometimes wrong about their bans. See (2)

And so on. I haven't seen anything compelling in this thread, just a whole lot of hyperventilating.

Can you tell how fast did you acclimate and how did your employer look at this?
The 240V that you're talking about is what I mentioned as 'mirroring'. There definitely is such a thing as two-phase power, my electric car charger is 208V from two industrial phases, and our reflow oven is 208V, from two similar phases.
They're also self starting and trivially reversible. Single phase motors require a separate starting arrangement.
My mistake for conflating the two. I am aware of the difference but lost track. However, they are often correlated.
It's not clear what he meant (because this part doesn't really have anything to do with 3-phase), but:

Most houses in the US have 240V service for large loads like A/C, ovens, stoves, dryers, EV chargers, etc. The way you get 240V (in the US) is that you take a single phase, and apply it to a transformer. The transformer's secondary has a grounded center tap, so you get +/- 120V, 180 degrees out of phase (this is called "split phase").

> Async is... a tangled mess. I'm pretty sure its just the modern "unstructured goto" style of spaghetti that has been rediscovered. Yeah, its super-efficient, but no, its not really easy to program.

That's not inherent to async though, just a property of the implementations that have seen widespread adoption. There's nothing stopping async from implementing the same process tree semantics; in fact, there's at least one high-level async library that does exactly that (python-trio, https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)

I think the main reason why the foo.rs foo/bar.rs stuff was done was so that the tabs in an editor have informative headings. Instead of ten times mod.rs you have foo.rs, baz.rs, test.rs and so on. Personally I don't like it either (for the same reason as you) but the old way is still possible, even on the 2018 edition, so that's what I use.

Indeed, I was about to say that with electricity, we know when and by whom it was invented, but then again, the development of electricity as a useful power source was the work of multiple inventors over the span of decades. With those other inventions, possibly centuries, who knows. So I'd still call them inventions.
No, one prong gets a phase and one prong gets the neutral, resulting in 230 V. Only equipment designed for 400 V gets two (or three) phases.

>It's not totally obvious to me that random hiring would be worse

Does this have some implied conditions I'm missing? Because to me it seems absolutely obvious that filtering for people who have experience/a degree will vastly improve your outcome over true random hiring.
On Linux, read() (and similar system calls) will transfer at most 0x7ffff000
(2,147,479,552) bytes, returning the number of bytes actually transferred.

140F/60C is not really out of band for a GPU, usually throttling starts around 75-80C.
Yes. Disability numbers are shockingly high. It's an issue that is really not talked about enough.
I would say that a random selection process would be worse than most hiring funnels that I've seen. This is doubly true considering the abject terrible quality of the lowest decile of candidate in software engineering. (The "spray and pray" resume machine-gunners would be way over-selected by any hiring process that relies on randomness when the rest of the industry is trying to select by interviewing.)

The advantage of three phase over two is that three phase can energize the coils of a three-phase motor so as to create a rotating magnetic field. No extra circuitry is needed.

Two-phase cannot do that when the phases are 180 degrees apart; opposite polarity is as good as a single phase. It would work if the two phases were 90 degrees apart.

A two-phase motor operating on single phase (or 180 degree two phase) needs to generate the 90 degree phase signal with extra circuitry.

Three phases is also smoother power delivery and even loading compared to two.
So does my...dishwasher. It actually generates three phase power (maybe stepped sine-wave?) for its main motor.

I did a double-take when I saw it (during the course of an unrelated fix,) considering it's powered off a simple (US) 120V 15-amp branch circuit.

'Windows doesn't bypass 3rd party firewalls.'

Sorry WarOnPrivacy, Windows does bypass 3rd-party firewalls and has done so since at least XP onwards (however, I am uncertain if this was the case with Windows 2000).

Microsoft has programmed into Windows dozens of addresses that 'dial home' to Microsoft's servers. As you will be aware, many of these addresses change with the various versions of Windows. Normal program switches can block some of these addresses whilst others are hidden from normal view, but with a little judicious snooping, we can find most of hidden ones and successfully block them with the hosts file.

However, we cannot block all of them, and this has been the case since Windows XP. From my understanding, which I learned from various security experts around 15 or more years ago at the time when the Microsoft 'exploit' was first discovered, Microsoft hard-coded certain dial-home links for the specific purpose of determining which and how many copies of Windows were pirated. (This seemed to have been the consequence of the widespread pirating of certain corporate copies of Windows 2000.)

Whilst the user many have thought he'd secured every talk-home to Microsoft loophole and was safe, nevertheless MS still knew that his O/S was a pirate version. Unlike other activation links that announced an 'illegal copy' status to the user, these links only advised Microsoft of the fact—if you like, there're part of Microsoft's secret surveillance system. Essentially, Microsoft has deliberately sabotaged the DNS client's hosts table lookup functionality by bypassing it with hard coding.

It seems that in recent years, Microsoft has developed this secret system to an even finer art, as these days it gathers much more information other than whether the O/S has been pirated or not.

With having the handle WarOnPrivacy, I gather you're more than just interested in securing your Windows in the usual ways. If I were you, I'd do what I'm doing here and that's to research the details further and then publicize the fact. As will now be obvious, this is not something that Microsoft wants broadcast to the world.

Below are a few links about the matter with a few comments from some of the sites:

https://slashdot.org/story/06/04/16/1351217/Microsoft-Bypass...

https://bugtraq.securityfocus.narkive.com/a2fZWlAb/microsoft...

" Hey, guess what I just found out: Microsoft have deliberately sabotaged
their DNS client's hosts table lookup functionality. Normally you can override DNS lookup by specifying a hostname and IP directly in the hosts file, which is searched before any query is issued to your dns server; this technique is often used to block ads, spyware and
phone-homes by aliasing the host to be blocked to 127.0.0.1 in your hosts file."

https://www.theregister.com/2015/09/01/microsoft_backports_d...

"All the updates can be removed post-installation – but all ensure the OS reports data to Microsoft even when asked not to, bypassing the hosts file and (hence) third-party privacy tools. This data can include how long you use apps, and which features you use the most, snapshots of memory to investigate crashes, and so on."
"To start a painting saying that it's just a sketch, or a new piece of software saying that it's just a quick hack. Then you judge your initial results by a lower standard. Once the project is rolling you can sneakily convert it to something more"

Another reason to have lower standards initially is so you can properly measure the intensity of a problem. The harder your product is to use, the better the gauge for how much people truly want it.

Either
a) people use your product despite its shoddiness or
b) people complain about what more they want

And if people don't do either, well then it was just a "quick hack" to keep iterating from.
I did a project like this in 2006 and also struggled with Adobe Premiere's manual steps. I wish there was an affordable audio & video editor that created and edited transform scripts, with support for offline rendering. Then I could save the transform script along with the source files.

An ancient Premiere project file is unlikely to work in the future. To re-render or edit those old videos again, I will need to run a cracked ancient Premiere in a VM. That's a poor way to work with archives.

With a good transform script format, we could make software that renders the transformation on the fly. You could save a transform file with a URL to the source files. To display the transform file, your browser will download the source files, apply the transformations, and show it in real-time.

We could also use software engineering process tools on transform scripts: source control, code reviews, integration tests, declarative artifact generation like Bazel, etc. Do tools like this exist?
In New Zealand, we call it Tall Poppy Syndrome. The typical acceptable way to be successful in NZ without receiving ostracisation in some form is to attribute your success to the country, rather than to yourself.

At a very basic level, it affects children at school. To excel at school is looked down on, here, which leads to the smart kids keeping their heads down and trying to fit in with the average kids. One benefit of immigration from countries with higher approval of academic success is that in many schools you are no longer looked down on for doing well, and I look forward to seeing how that affects the future of my country.

> but the disadvantage of increasing the risk if one is electrocuted.

Avoiding this was one of the design parameters of the "Schucho" plug design that is reasonably standard across Europe. You'll note the three prong plug has a longer ground that makes a connection before any hot one does. The US three prong is supposed to work that way too but the ground pin isn't long enough.

I continue to be amazed how many devices still ship with only two prong plugs (everywhere: Europe, North America, Australia...) even if those prongs are polarized.
That's two phases of a three-phase supply.

From your car's or oven's perspective, it's still just single-phase power that happens to be floating w.r.t. ground.
At least part of the reason is regulatory. The national grid regulator (FERC) gets its foothold through the interstate commerce clause. Since Texas heavily restricts the interstate interconnections it is not regulated federally (or at least less regulated). Of course this doesn’t explain the East/west non-interconnection, I think historically the Rockies do most of that though (as the article mentions). The issue is only partially technical and largely administrative.
