Dismantling blackmail rings is the most important issue in politics and the same co-opted media that had Katie Couric and George Stephanopolous attend Jeffery Epstein's getting-out-of-"prison"-after-pimping-a-minor-at-his-New-Mexico-ranch-filled-with-blackmail-cameras party are not going to do it for us. Facebook, Google, Palantir, intelligence agencies - they are giant machines for harvesting blackmail material and that is their secretly most totalitarian, power-centralizing and abusive function.

I don't browse the site by the front page, but by '/newest' and regularly see the same story reposted within minutes of being posted by someone else. And, while the 'up vote lottery' may explain why one particular posting of a story gains most popularity, it doesn't address the question of why no-one bothers to check before posting.

Take the Nokia/Moon story I specifically referenced. Multiple people were still submitting that one the day after it first broke.

Did none of those people have the gumption to consider that, on a site, like HN, obsessed with all things technological, such a technology fan's wet dream of a story might just conceivably have already been submitted by someone else, during the preceding 24 hours?
I think your intuition is correct and that Steinberg is agreeing with you here. Steinberg is just saying that a single particle alone cannot generate a causality paradox. But it still isn't obvious why you couldn't use this effect with multiple bits and some error correct to send signals faster than light.

Looking at the paper being discussed here - https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/abb515/... - the authors also don't seem to have an explanation.

One final caveat worth noting is that our results do not definitively prove that an ensemble of free particles will always be a preferable method of transmitting a signal to an ensemble of tunneled particles. It is our intention to include a discussion of this in a follow-up paper.

This is basically the scenario you're talking about, forming several bits out of different particles and using them in conjunction to send information faster than light. The researchers aren't sure why this wouldn't happen in their model.
This fight against software is growing into bizarre forms. What's next? cURL?

I really wish there was some kind of retribution in the typical OSS licenses. You censor free software, free software censors you. I think these organization would think twice to take down a project if they would immediately lose access to Linux, Apache, Python, et. al.
I would argue that most people in life will never even go near the stock market let alone be expected to learn all those different bits and pieces.

How would that help the average high school graduate?
The point is YouTube is a video streaming service. Not a file host.
Why not host youtube-dl in Finland?
People seem to continually be misinterpreting this as copyright infringement, and you are right that it isn't. The fact that you bypassed the viewing of ads changes nothing in this matter.

Otherwise, if we would allow this interpretation, then the entirety of modern internet technology is potentially infringing. This is ludicrous.

Nothing substantially different happens when you view the video in your web browser than when you download it using youtube-dl (mpv, the media player, even wraps youtube-dl so you can directly stream a youtube video). In both cases HTTP requests are made, followed by some processing of the data. Does that mean adblocking software is infringing too?

I don't know, maybe the US has totally lost its mind and this kind of thing would fly there, but certainly not in Europe.
Actually, agree with this article

My advice would be to

1) Do iPhone native app if it is unproven market i.e. you don't know product market fit

Do iPhone first because

a) Apple has 66% of spending in Apps and 60%+ of spending in games

b) Google will make sure to slow your success if it feels in ANY way you could be a threat down the line

We have apps that were just disappeared after hitting fast growth, while no such problems on Apple or Windows (though Windows App Store is tiny)

*

2) If you're doing something with known product market fit, and have resources, then build cross platform

*

3) If you're doing something with known product market fit, and have limited resources, use react

HOWEVER accept that Native App will almost always be significantly better than app built once and deployed for multi platforms

One of the first of countless 'look at my X experience and let's build a generalized advice article out of that' articles where I actually think the author lucked into a truth
This means that either a particle has to completely 'vanish' from the physical world during tunnelling or that μ and ε don't apply during this time, or that they change value.

The standard quantum mechanical interpretation is that the particle does not have a single position during tunneling. Instead, its position is a distribution best thought of as a wave, or as a function of an underlying wave. You can interpret this as "many worlds" or you can interpret it as "measurement matters", you get the same results either way. The speed of the particle is also not a single value, but rather a different function of the same underlying wave.
This looks fantastic and is a great idea. Really hope this gets more traction. The mentally ill are truly undervoiced in society for so many reasons from lack of professional diagnosis to shame or even just being an emotional and awkward topic to bring up, particularly for those with social anxiety.

I need to dig more into the various books and policies when I have more time but do feel free to post a video of a conference you've done if you have a good one posted somewhere!
Of course not. But what if Vimeo is using YouTube to host the videos? The point I am making has nothing to do with copyright. It has to do with leveraging a third party tool to make a competitors product an advantage for yourself.
We have gone from a deep understanding by nesessity to shallow opportunistic horizontal exploration in less than 3 decades. Until the 90's getting into CS/IT meant knowing your way up from the hardware through assembly and memory layout into higher languages and fundamental data structures finally into an application layer. As computers became more powerful and knowledge started to be packaged into virtual runtime and massive linraries and SDK's. the grounding was lost. and certainly post '00 the exponential rise of the internet changed tech towards stringing together poorly understood googled bits of code that might just work until we pass a test.

Now there are undeniably advantages to both paradigms. But the average developer in industry being in the dark about anything beyond the surface layer, and who's expertise is more about quirks with api X rather than how X would be coded at all is a logical consequence.
For CYA there are plenty of "interactive fiction" tools. They range in complexity from mere hyperlinking over simple state management to Turing complete programming.

IMO C++ despite its warts is easier to avoid mismanaging memory than C. RAII and smart pointers are very useful. Fewer off by one errors leading to buffer overflows as well in my experience due to things like iterators.

As with any fuel, both statements are not wrong. We have comparatively little easily exploitable resources but if we had a huge demand, we could exploit much more.
The reasons you give might well be the intention, but it seems misconceived. There were special carve-outs in the one child policy for farmers. If their first child was a girl they could try again for a boy. Also the policy was very hard to apply consistently in the countryside because the bureaucracy is very thin there and its not at all uncommon for families to hide children with relatives. You can't get away with that in the cities.

As for the retirement age, life expectancy in China is significantly lower than in the west. In fact in 1970 is was only 59 years. It's still 6 years behind the USA and it's not uncommon for significant health problems to kick in during your 50s. On the other hand as for making way for the new generation, how are they supposed to learn from more experienced older colleagues if they all retired? Oh well, I suppose that's the problem with centrally planned economies.
I can see this becoming the norm.
Even 150 years is _enough_ time for us to bootstrap to the next technology level. Which would be something like having robots mine the asteroid belt for manufacturing resources, and getting a massive solar farm up somewhere in orbit over earth and sending the power down. Many different science fiction works have covered variations on this plan.

That's a very absolutist view of risk.

A founder may only be investing an amount in the venture that does not affect their own quality of life. They could have other wealth or means, and losing the entire investment would not be catastrophic. They might have a personal runway of several years before they have to give up and get a day job.

Meanwhile, the early employee at a startup is far from without risk themselves. They are almost certainly not well paid (until the last decade of multi-Billion-dollar Unicorns, startups were NEVER known to pay well). They are also likely not making meaningful savings or even eating into them in the hope of hitting it big. They are almost certainly sacrificing a substantial part of their personal life just as the founder is, risking personal relationships and health.
this wouldn't surprise me, however... proof or go home
I sometimes imagine how wonderful it'd be if there were a viable alternative to the Web that is decentralized and infeasible to censor, only to realize that how great it is for the freedom, is the exact reason why it doesn't exist. It's just too inconvenient for those in power. That might be why Tor was funded by the government. Its primary functionality is to strengthen the existing Web, rather than to be some competing force to the Web.
I agree and I implore people to keep things vague and post on throwaway accounts if they want to post.
The article touches on this, but their turnover is probably low because there aren’t many other places for engineers to go in Canada.

I’ve worked at a place that had a similar sort of “artificial retention” due to a lack of local competition for talent, and curiously that place also had a very top-down and controlling executive team. It was still a great workplace but I was mystified on more than one occasion by how much time I had to spend getting permission from folks 2-3 layers above me in the organization.

Yes, obviously there are legitimate uses. That’s not the point. The point is the actual codebase of YouTube-dl features copyright infringement as a test case. RIAA is using this to make the case that the tool is designed to aid in copyright infringement.

That seems like a reasonable argument given the evidence and the DMCA. I’m not defending the DMCA or RIAA here.
Musk has touched on the fact that it's nearly guaranteed to not be possible within his lifetime.

This is one of the reasons (he's spoken of) that he's having a decent amount of kids and also doing things like Neuralink.
Not necessarily true either. All organizations ideally have a goal. Vision. Mission, whatever you choose to call it. People at the top decide on that goal, and they decide on a strategy that might let them reach their goal.

That strategy should start by considering the things that cannot be changed (legislation like GDPR, maybe scalability, availability of resource, or health and safety regulations).

The leaders would then consider mutable factors, things they DO control like number of employees, technology options, business model, geographic location.

These two broad things (immutable and mutable factors) will lead to a list of things that need doing to achieve world domination. Sorry, I mean success.

That list of tasks is handed off to employees who will repeat a similar process within their areas at a more granular level.

Good reporting up and down the chain allows people at all levels of the organization to adjust course when needed, with a level of autonomy suited to whatever level you're in within the organization.

If the organisation is small enough people at the bottom may will seek out people at the top for direction.

No cult required.
> Why would they want some photos of my face? What do they have to gain? That seems like the least of my concerns

I honestly do not understand this line of reasoning. It's unjustifiable. I mean, here we have an attack vector with a colossal potential to do you harm, and here you are arguing against a basic safety measure because you're able to think about other attack vectors? How does that even start to make any sense?

Good question. Prevent digital nomads opting out of anything (typically they do,except purchase tax which is almost impossible to avoid), require them to fund health cover, increase the cost of the visa? As a resident in the NL I had a day of compliance registration to get a local bank account and be a legal tenant more than 1 month and cover the PREMIS health payment. My landlord was pissed off we registered the tenancy because he was not paying rental income taxes. This is the kind of thing which in the west with higher tax compliance we come to understand how many westerners in Bali aside from traders and bar owners do you think paperwork up?
More importantly, where are we going to find the time in an eight hour day to teach more things? What is going to get tossed to the wayside?

While I'm not usually 100% happy with the Discord server (it currently has very little moderation and has had one user behave like a piece of shit for a long time) I've had a hard time finding the flame war you mention. I found the discussion about utf8 decoding and it seemed cordial, with two people agreeing with you and only one saying (paraphrasing...) "Fuck this, I'm leaving this community until people stop asking too much" (which didn't make much sense).

I usually find community overrated and I've made a conscious effort to separate it from technology for the most part. Zig as a language has certain values that it's built with in mind and those values for the most part are aligned with mine, so this is basically what keeps me interested in it. I would use Rust despite its community if it aligned with my values. I despise the leadership of Elixir and Phoenix but I still use both of those when it makes sense.

With all this said, the IRC channel is a lot less about memery and wild discussions (but also less active) than the Discord server, so if you feel like it you can always just pop into #zig on FreeNode if you have questions and would like to talk about the language.
To put it another way, all votes are equal, but some votes are more equal than others. That sounds vaguely familiar…
Given the probabilistic nature of quantum effects I doubt there's a reliable way to tunnel particles. If a tunnelling event happens with low frequency, the receiver would need a side-channel or some redundancy to be sure it had received a signal. But it will be interesting to see what comes up in their follow-up paper.
Maybe something like Computer Science Unplugged? [1] We have two preschoolers, not pre-teenagers, though. But I am thinking of starting with something like this one day. It is compelling to think that maybe for the basics, a computer might not be needed at all.

Apps on mobile devices are generally unable to maintain network connections while not in focus.
The difficult part about costs is finding out the real cost of generating electricity, most studies are incomplete or biased. If you don't count the cost of discarding used fuel, nuclear is suddenly much cheaper, and same is true if people don't take into account the cost of decommissioning wind turbines or solar cells, and the need for baseload.

> To play devil's advocate, I wonder if it can really be said that when you watch a youtube video you have been

>> invited to witness in its entirety free of charge

> when you consider advertising. It could be argued that when you watch a monetized youtube video you are being invited to view the video in exchange for also viewing advertisements as a form of payment.

The problem with this idea is that you're quoting a case about recording televised broadcasts. The quote you pulled your quote from begins "when one considers the nature of a televised copyrighted audiovisual work".

Televised works were shown with embedded advertising a lot more intrusive than what can appear on a YouTube video. There is no way for the presence of advertisements to affect how this argument applies to YouTube, when it was originally cast in terms of television.
Do they have an obligation to export your data in a format you choose with a method of your choice or can they make that determination for themselves? Does the EU mandate the ability for YouTube-dl to exist?

There’s a lot of talking past each other going on in this thread. Nobody is defending the RIAA or DMCA. But they exist and this outcome seems painfully obvious.

RIAA being mean, DMCA being bad and copyright being outdated doesn’t matter here. What matters in that the law exists and YouTube-dl made it really easy for the RIAA to make a compelling case against them.
In a world that is rapidly changing into tightly controlled presentation channels, banning of not tightly controlled information sharing channels, and ubiquitous AI backed bots sifting through any exchange in search of even the most farfetched resemblance and where spurious strikes mean tried guilty and sentenced until proven innocent, that point of view might be a tad naive.

Information never wanted to be free. It has no will. The freedom was the result of many people willing to stand against its confinement.

Any good play that works well with Google Drive as storage? I tried a few but none seems to work well with music files Google Drive. I would prefer if they maintain some cache as well. If I can't find one, I might just write one over the weekend. Let Google Drive do the storage, and I will create the bare minimal player which can play music files. That setup will last for eternity.
If you want to develop intuition, then see tunneling effect here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72DA4fgamPE .

Particle escapes it wave, so it no longer bounded by speed of wave in medium, when it in a tunnel.

-JS Bookmarklets no longer work.

-Searching with a particular search engine through the URL bar, used to take one touch gesture. Now you need to press "Search engine", scroll down to your selection (e.g. wikipedia isn't visible by default), press it, and then select among a weird collection of recommended search alternatives.

And, as op said, you don't even have the option to use keywords and be done with this nonsense.

Whistleblower receives record $144M award from SEC for aiding investigation
Finance is more than the stock market. When I took a class on personal finance, I, too, wondered why it wasn't taught in high school. Personal finance gives you a basic grounding in:
- How the economy works and how it affects you
- Income taxes
- Employee sponsored health care plans/FSAs/HSAs
- Life insurance/annuities and health insurance
- Budgeting and cash flow
- How stocks and bonds work

So yes, there is coverage of the stock market, but it is a very narrow slice of the pie when you're talking about an entry level personal finance class.
Those things happen because powerful people are involved either on the side of the state or a plaintiff or defendant with lots of money. As a weaker party, you can't make the system work for you so easily.
> Most FOSS projects would be destroyed if all of the EU countries suddenly depended on a "hobby" project

Can you expand on this? I haven't understood your argument as to why it would be the case.
If you’re talking 10 light year colonization jumps that takes very deliberate and resource intensive expansion efforts. If you instead model things assuming generation ships as harvesting kepler Belt objects, moving between stars only incidentally or as local resources are exhausted. And only occasionally reproducing. The relative motion between stars becomes the primary driver of net expansion, and that’s quite slow.
Your comment is entirely word play.
Yeah you just have to give up on the "modern" UWP apps and change back to classic ones, even when they are third-party.

Use the Control Panel instead of settings, Everything for search, IrfanView for an image viewer... the list goes on. Just remove all UWP bloat and telemetry. You'll find many scripts on the internet to automate that.
