The Louvre is definitely organized. I used to study french art history there. You could start in the 16th century and walk through tons of corridors (Like it literally would take you days to do the whole thing and it’s really exhausting touring a museum for hours and days on end) to follow the progression of history. It all told a story - the church very involved in the beginning, the to the rococo with les fetes galantes and artists like Watteau. Then you finish up with paintings that are so big they start at the floor and end two stories up on the ceiling, with artists like Jacques Luis david [1]. After, you can cross the river to the d’orsay to continue the history tour.

As far as labeling things, well, they have audio tours in tons of languages. Also, if you are familiar with history and philosophy, you should be able to figure out what’s going on in each painting.

At face value you decide if you like art. If you want the deeper appreciation, that takes a lot of knowledge!!!

By the way, yes, the Rodin museum is awesome. Tons of statues and rose gardens. You might know rodin’s sculpture, le penseur [2] or his other work, origin of the world [3] Across the street from the Rodin museum is la defense which has nepolean’s tomb - a total site to see.

Since the original version of DDS tape is basically just DAT tapes being used to store computer data, many of the commercially-available DDS drives could be re-flashed to allow them to read DAT as well. (Re-flashing was necessary to remove the software restriction that otherwise recognised DAT tapes and refused to read them).

Did you mean to link to another PDF? There's only one page of deposition in that file and it doesn't name any Epstein clients. It's just a bit of back-and-forth between the plaintiff's attorney and the defendant's attorney.

The rules have changed. We want the programming community to be a welcoming community for women, and part of the cost of that is we have to close it off to the creepier sort of nerd, which is well established and documented to describe Stallman. Fix your behavior or get out. Or find that organizations that hope for legitimacy want nothing to do with you.
You are conflating decentralized and distributed. BitTorrent is distributed, HTTP is decentralized.
I wouldn’t call it enormous — Python can be used as an interactive shell (there’s even a toy “operating system” that uses it as the only text shell), and traditional shells can write (simpler) versions of software that’s normally made in Python https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23643096

That is in fact, exactly what youtube-dl is doing. They download the JS code provided by Google, then use regexes to figure out which function is the function that Google provides for un-arranging the characters, then they load Google's JS into an interpreter and provide it with the Google supplied URL to get the original signature. See the code here:

https://gitlab.com/HacktorIT/youtube-dl/-/blob/master/youtub...

So yeah, Youtube/Google is doing (basically) nothing to protect the content, and for the absolutely token obfuscation they do use, they also provide you with the way to get right back to directly accessing the data without any protections.

The RIAA is lying in saying that Google is using technical protections, and they're lying in saying that youtube-dl is doing anything other than what Google tells them to do in order to access videos.
Seems like that student has admitted in the most public and irreversible way possible that they have distributed their coursework online, almost certainly in contravention of academic policy.

We can take advantage of the planet getting hotter by harnessing some of that energy.
Reminds me of Alan Watts trying to point his audience to what's meant by immediate experience by saying (essentially) that any verbal description, for instance of a bell ringing, is missing the point as far as immediate experience is concerned; "it's just": then he actually rings a bell (catching the audience off guard).

This would definitely be a good time for a rebranding, the tool is now very far from its original "youtube-dl" purpose.
Yeah, and then nobody bothered to watch as her chances drifted downward every subsequent day until the election... and they drifted down because the polls changed and the model got more information. It's not really fair to say the model was wrong- it just wasn't clairvoyant.

Really, Trump won by a hair's breadth. 538 shouldn't have given him a huge chance to win- he just barely scraped through. It's a genuinely hard problem when the popular vote is very close, since the electoral college throws a huge chaos wrench into everything.,
Speaking as someone who deals with a fair amount of this in their extended family, I honestly think a blind spot the human race has is a struggle to believe this can really get "that bad".

I've had relatives (now deceased) who were way down the rabbit hole, long before the whole QAnon thing, and given the sort of destructive effects it has on their life, to me - it's in the same bucket as alcoholism or addiction. It did the same sort of things that joining a "cut ties" cult like scientology or 7th day adventists did; you'd lose friends, spouses, even your job, etc.

None of this is a new phenomenon - it's just, people don't join the moonies or hare krishna anymore - they join weird internet cults now like QAnon.

(In my case, we essentially lost a family member who went on a deep-dive into anti-semitic nationalism back in the 60s.)
Ok, we've merged most of the comments thither.
To be honest it sounds like a way to build a groundswell of populist support before arresting vast swaths of political prisoners. The same thing happened in Germany with Jews -- they were called enslavers and disease spreaders. So that people who didn't hate Jews could still get behind the violence because slavery and disease spreading are bad.
In the spirit of HN contrarian comments, I'd say the closest thing spiritually to a modern-day HyperCard is PySimpleGUI:
https://github.com/PySimpleGUI

Previously the closest thing to HyperCard was WinForms, which PSG borrows heavily from. PSG is probably the fastest way for anyone moderately familar with python to throw together an ugly-but-servicable GUI program and I reach for it when I'm in a hurry. The two tricks behind PSG are: 1. very concise and memorable GUI layout with only python code and 2. use of an event loop instead of handlers. All of this sounds pretty basic and obvious, but no one else does it this way.

Many tech companies ban things for political reasons and provide these types of explanations as cover. Similar to how Reddit banned the_donald because of supposed anti-cop violent threats on the subreddit which is of course completely and utterly absurd.
Curiously, what do scrapers (aka "readers") have to worry about with this topic?

Eg, i'm making an archiver and reader combination that, for personal use, archives stuff in a Git-like store. Yet, Git (and Git-likes) can also be used to distribute.. so hypothetically i could use this software to scrape and distribute content.

My intention is primarily to make news articles/etc searchable, archived, etc. Yet i'm sure NYT would have something to say about my test cases scraping their site.

The problem with the bay area is that the majority of the buildings are old and lack proper insulation. The temp outside is often not too bad, but when your apartment turns into an oven or a drafty freezer for most of the year, the weather effectively sucks. Contrast with somewhere like Austin, which has horrible weather at times but with affordable, modern construction and cheaper CoL overall, you can live comfortably indoors year round.

I just paid my second $200+ electric bill this year, and that's for a 800 sq ft apartment with a single AC. That AC had to run for the last 3 months, nearly non-stop, just to keep the place in the low 70s. Sure, the place was renovated, and even has vinyl windows, but anything not relating to appearances was skipped in the remodel. No insulation. No leak sealing. Every time my neighbors light up a joint in the garage downstairs I get to smell it throughout my house.
Sorry for the snark but you seem to be a bird in a golden cage.

US Feds have gone overboard on tracking financial crime, but I really dont see people thinking Euro, Yuan or Yen is safer. Certainly non-CB cryptocurrencies are worthless as soon as sentiment turns.

That really doesn't hold a lot of credibility with me though. :)
That article the most enlightening things about law in general, and IP laws in particular, that I've ever read, so I'm always eager to remind HN about it :).

I've seen lots of words being wasted here and elsewhere in debates around piracy, copyright and patents, that essentially boil down to not understanding that, from the point of view of the law, bits have colour, and that colour is of paramount importance.
I'm curious how perfect pitch works in terms of temperaments and tunings standards. For example, do they get bothered by regular guitar over microtonal ones? (those weird guitars w/ extra mini-frets)[1]

I'm really fascinated by our ability to perceive relative pitch even without training. See, for example, how "detuning" by a few cents in lo-fi hip hop provides a very distinct feel to the genre, compared to playing the same tune in standard equal temperament tuning.

The fivethirtyeight.com forecast in 2016 gave Trump a 28.6% chance of victory. It's predicting 12% for 2020. That's a pretty big difference.

If I told you "there's a 30% chance of rain tomorrow" and it rained, you probably wouldn't accuse me of being wrong (based on that one data point at least).

I agree, you can't learn this after childhood. As somebody who went to music school for 10 years I've been around literally thousands of musicians and have never once met somebody who developed perfect pitch as an adult.

On the other hand, if you do have perfect pitch, you can lose it over time! I've had perfect pitch all my life, and now that I'm going on 40 I surprise myself by sometimes hearing a song a half-step off (i.e. I'll assume a song is in F but it's really in E). This has never happened to me until the past few years. Not sure how much is due to my ears aging, and how much due to I'm not a practicing musician anymore.
The gzipped tarball, was that as of latest commit? just curious if we can consider it the definitive final copy
In that case, let's see what we can do with a gun...
Plus they've advertised themselves as having that capability. I suspect that even after the removal the RIAA will argue that the fact that the ability to download copyrighted material, which is something that the project itself said it could do in the past and has not been modified, makes it continue to be illegal.
Having to play peekaboo with the mouse pointer really doesn't count as "available".

This is lousy! I depend on youtube-dl to archive videos for later use. Nothing MAFIAA would be interested in; just stuff from topical channels that I want to have around for personal use in case they get deleted.

I really hope this doesn't stand, because what it's basically saying is that you can't even tell someone how to download something that might be copyrighted. Not only that, but this was brought forth by a murky technicality.

Pray to god this never happens to NewPipe.
Derouting obsolete IPV4 blocks is as technical as it gets.
That's not a part of the repo, though. It's a value-add service of some git hosting platforms, and it's entirely orthogonal to the repository itself.
Why stop with browsers? They should ban all computers, because they CAN be used to download and play copyrighted materials!
and yet the code is still in pypi for any developer to use...
As I said, I am not a lawyer and you may have out-lawyered me here already, but I'll do my best to respond. The law prescribes this path for youtube-dl authors to respond to the claim, if youtube-dl authors want to put their names behind the project and make a legal case out of it. That severely limits the calculable damage that is possible, (especially if youtube-dl won't pursue the matter further.)

The claim in the takedown notice that is required to be submitted under penalty of perjury is simply that the party submitting the claim actually represents [copyright holder] and that notice which RIAA submitted also does not make any demonstrably false claims. It does not entirely fit the format of a regular DMCA copyright takedown request for copyright enforcement, it has two sections (one is called "Anticircumvention Violation"). It goes into detail about how the rights holders which RIAA lawyer represents are aggrieved, with language like:

> we have a good faith belief that most of the youtube-dl forks are infringing to the same extent as the parent repository.

# (This is probably the most dubious claim, and since the channel for takedown notices is for copyright enforcement, if your argument had a leg to stand on, I think it's this one. But is it calculable damage? And is the mention of Taylor Swift and other RIAA member artists in the README not plenty of evidence that there is actual infringement that is happening, or at least that it could have been asserted in good faith as it were that those rights holders believed there is a valid claim, as this infringement was happening?)

and

> the youtube-dl source code available on Github (which is the subject of this notice) circumvents YouTube’s rolling cipher to gain unauthorized access to copyrighted audio files, in violation of YouTube’s express terms of service

I think for this to be tortious interference, you would have to demonstrate that there was any intentionally false information in these claims, and that's going to be tough. There is part of a DMCA takedown claim that must be asserted under penalty of perjury, and after re-reading the law and jogging my memory I understand again that for the party sending the takedown notice, that is very limited. (Unlike the counter-claim, which has to assert ownership under penalty of perjury, the claim must only assert that claimant represents an owner as identified in the claim and that the factual claims made in the notice are true, in good faith.) Otherwise it's hard to argue that this notice is anything but an effort to enforce multiple sections of the law as it is written, by asking nicely for a hand through the channels that GitHub has made available for enforcement.

Whether or not it meets the definition of a valid DMCA takedown notice, it is a letter with many demonstrably true factual points, which GitHub has accepted through their channel for enforcement of claims. GitHub has "voluntarily" complied with their interpretation of the law here, in response, and there is an avenue for redress for the authors, if youtube-dl authors feel this is worth pursuing.

Great. You know him. So do I. Now, does your knowledge of him justify this headline:

"Richard Stallman resigns from FSF, MIT after defending child rape" - OSNews

Seriously. Yes, he's awkward around women, and has sometimes hit on women in sometimes cringeworthy ways. He's also awkward around men, for that reason. There's a difference like night and day between the actual issues, which are about on-par for much of the population, and what's reported. Heck, I'd say that's about on-par for about half of the MIT student body back when it was a genuine nerd school rather than the "#1 branded university in the world."

But he knows that no means no, he doesn't mean harm, and he doesn't abuse his power.

And compare the treatment he gets to other people in position of power. Compare that to the MANY MIT faculty who DO use power dynamics to abuse female students, and who DID fly to Epstein's island to party. Heck, compare that to executives and politicians, or, well, many others in positions of power. You're not going to convince me Stallman is worse than the median there, or even the 25th percentile. It's just that one group is politically savvy, and the other, socially awkward.

And this is exactly how you get a plausible smear. You start with a smaller issue, and you twist and exaggerate it until you have a pedophile-rapist. And yes, it was intentional.
I totally agree. It comes down to the legal definition of "abridged", "denied", and "crimes".

Unfortunately, in the present political climate, any reasonable interpretation of these words that hurts the representation of states with regressive voting laws would be seen as an act of politics.

The nice thing about my proposed hack, is that it also incentivizes decriminalization, or at least allowing a broader class of humans in your state to vote. In this way, it doesn't matter if the 14th amendment is well-enforced, because it changes the goal posts.

So, while it might not give felons the vote (this would violate the 14th), it will encourage the dissolution of our current "justice" system that arbitrarily incarcerates people.

If your state incarcerates people for "driving while black", it is effectively diluting its representation in the congress and electoral college.
The law isn't some computer program that you can trick if you try hard enough. If someone can reasonably tell that you just took a program and rejiggled it a bit to pretend it's something else, they are going to come after you regardless and likely be successful when they do so.
Ah: I assumed this was something a la DeCSS - copyrighted numbers or a decryption algorithm or something.

I don't see how this is technically different than implementing any other conforming User Agent. Legally...
Um, yes we should be afraid of it. See Fukashima.
It's cross platform in that it works in the browser with WebXR, so any VR device with a web browser can use it.

For the time being, when Oculus launches Horizon, maybe anyone with an Facebook account can still download it and run in on their Valve Index using Revive, but if competing standalone android-based headsets come out I think workarounds like that become less likely. If you want Horizon, you buy a Quest. But any of those other headsets could use Hubs regardless of where their friend-group is.

It's the iMessage group text problem but on a system that's probably going to be a lot less easy to just substitute with WhatsApp. It remains to be seen if we'll have a functionally equal option that isn't platform locked.

Or maybe they'll just port it everywhere, own the main social space, and squeeze all the advertizing tracking they can out of that. Either way, I don't love it.
1. That seems very unlikely, from what we've found so far. We'll know more as things like the JWST come online, but right now it seems like planets of all sorts are everywhere.

2. Any civilization capable of interstellar travel is likely not to care all that much about a narrow band of natural habitability. They've already solved harder problems.
No, the current generation of small boat radar are surprisingly capable in both harbors and the open ocean. Decent systems can reliably see a 20’ boat over a mile away in reasonably calm water. Transponders are frequently turned off in harbors for various reasons and are simply not that reliable even in the open ocean.

That said, at longer distances or rough seas things significantly degrade unless you’re talking about a big boat.
Despite the project name, "youtube-dl" is a nearly universal video downloader. It contains hundreds of special cases for specific websites, which will gradually break without maintenance. It would be a huge loss.
My guess is that these elephants weren't actually domesticated, but rather tamed. That is, as with Asian elephants, they were captured in the wild rather than raised in captivity.

The Linux kernel does not have "youtube" in its name–it isn't advertised as a way to download videos.
Well that’s the thing. If I’m content to trust the client side hashing or encryption on the secrets why bother setting up my own server? Conversely, if there are nefarious things that can happen on the server to compromise the data without me knowing about it, then I trust neither myself (because I’d be a bad sysadmin) nor a third party (not knowing what they’re up to). Or if I do trust a third party just use 1Password.

Reading between the lines it sounds like being able to build from source or see and install the source gives some assurance you can’t get via third party and the strong files give some assurance over me being a bad sysadmin. That’s either a sweet spot or uncanny valley depending on your perspective. :)
