The problem is that with youtube-dl you always need the latest versions as websites often change their 'API'/layout and therefore break compatibility.

I would not be surprised if YouTube intentionally introduces a breaking change now that the repo is down.

> Just because there are not many datapoints.

There are more than enough data points to determine the between-state error correlations, many of which seem to be very off.

> Additionally, getting worked up about a 3% chance

The weird between-state correlations actually have a large effect, they increase state and nationwide uncertainty and as a result Trump has a higher chance of winning.
I guess we’ll find out when the case goes through won’t we? From the takedown notice:

We note that the source code is described on GitHub as “a command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites.”1

We also note that the source code prominently includes as sample uses of the source code the downloading of copies of our members’ copyrighted sound recordings and music videos, as noted in Exhibit A hereto.
That is a lot of work considering that you can simply move the hosting to Europe (using cgit and a ML, or gitea, or self-hosted gitlab) and be immune from DMCA requests.

Also probably a way to host a git repo over tor. But that would make life a bit harder for devs.
Does commit signing really solve this? I believe you can restrict branches to only allow signed commits, but since these commits are not in any branch on that repository it looks like that wouldn't change anything. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.
No, there's enough data to determine all between-state error correlations.

Edit: Why the downvote? Each of the between-state correlations can be calculated from 40,000 datapoints.
That's only an adaptation that some bees have. European ones, for example, do not have that adaptation so carnage ensues.
Polarization and the unacceptability of publicly saying "I voted for X" also didn't really exist prior to 2016. The fear of getting doxxed, combined with a record low level of trust in institutions and the media, leads to skepticism toward answering polls truthfully, IMO.
>Blocking Iranian IPs, as opposed to accounts, is almost certainly over-compliance. Note that the vast majority of websites do not do this. Even big ones, such as Gmail, do not do this.

I wish dang would ban users for blatant misinformation such as this. The number of people who end up believing these lies as truth probably outweighs the benefit of any civil discussion it could lead to: in the US, it's now obvious that "alternative facts" has led to a breakdown of civil discussion, after all.
In my view corporations are meant to do what their owners want them to do. It just so happens that the vast majority of shareholders want the company to give them as high a return as possible.

However this does not need to be the case. If the owners/shareholders want they can demand the company to be responsible for the environment, to be socially responsible as well, or to do basic research instead of maximising short term profits. It just requires the majority of shareholders to want that, and right now this still isn't the case.

This is actually something I picked up from reading Milton Friedman's books, where a corporation exists to do the will of the owners/shareholders. Maybe I read it wrong but that's what I understood it as.
I hadn't seen this posted here and found it an interesting take. Blaming it on bad journalism and a couple of loons doesn't really capture the allure the crazyness has.

I believe you are correct, specifically about the label; allowing a mental health concern to be your identity, or even just part of it, can be more disabling than the problem itself. It also allows many people who would otherwise find ways to cope (healthily or not) to use the label as a crutch. "My depression made me..." or "My autism causes me to..." are not uncommon phrases to hear now.
Unfortunately it takes time to produce high quality books. We’ve got a growing corpus of free public domain works at Standard Ebooks, including five Twain titles,[1] but regardless of a steadily growing set of volunteers it takes two weeks to eighteen months to produce a good edition of a book.

Masks do very little in open spaces. We still don't have the data but I think a large part of infections is happening at home were prophylactic measures are highly impractical and impossible to enforce.

We probably would have been able to control better the pandemic if students (of all ages) didn't go back to school, the assumption being that students are acting as silent spreaders (due to the low morbidity in young people), reaches home and multiplies easily there.

But our societies are not prepared to handle this scenario so we were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Preparation between the first wave and the second wave has been also pretty poor.
The assertion you're responding to was not about Trump's odds in an absolute sense, but relative to other pollsters and forecasters. So pointing out the precise value FiveThirtyEight assigned to that outcome doesn't refute anything until you compare it to somebody else's number.
Fedora switched to Wayland, that is unfortunate for X.Org users but basically it means someone stopped fixing issues.

You either fix them yourself and contribute back if possible. Or switch to distribution where someone still fixes these issues.

I've investigated X.Org caused bug just for two days and since then totally support Wayland development. What we have today is not healthy.

And this the reason Zoom "censored" it, is pretty funny: it happened so to be in a political fiasco of the middle east, in particular the struggle between Palestine and Israel.

Now I'd just say this can be pretty sensitive because politics is like weapons going hot all the time, they might do collateral damages sometimes, so I think Zoom thought they did the right thing to prevent that: it just don't want to get into this geopolitical trouble. They didn't.

For large data sets, it sometimes spends all day in GC while just loading the data into memory (this is actually more of a problem in Ruby than in Python, but it still exists here).

It's also not very efficient about using memory, so it can be easier to get a dataset to fit in RAM in Go vs. Python.

Python also makes it hard enough to make use of multiple cores that it becomes easier to just use Go.

The same goes for making it fast. It can be done in Python, but I tend to be happy with the performance of my Go code out of the box.
I’m just going to say “no”.

If you don’t need to work with the value, store it in a string. If you do, use a proper decimal type. (Your question may then apply to the internals of the decimal type, but the point is that that should be transparent to the developer accessing the decimal value.)
No it doesn’t, and this is a fundamental misunderstanding of how probabilistic forecasting works. If it rains 9 out of 10 times a weatherman says there is a 30% chance of rain, they are a bad weatherman, but they aren’t much worse than if it rained 0 out of 10 times they predicted a 30% chance of rain. A weatherman accurately assessing the probability of the weather forecast would see it rain around 3 out of 10 days they say there is a 30% chance of rain.
Or the fire will cause them to spread out.

I wonder if they ended up giving all their private information:

And if they did, then it would be interesting to see if MPA ended up going after them. If I were youtube-dl then that would be the only thing that might stop me from writing a counter-notice.
The GP is saying 538 did better compared to other news outlets. You need to also provide a source for another news outlet giving Hillary less than 71.4% if you want to show that the GP is wrong.

I use Go for many years now and I quite love it. Not for everything I do, but for a large part of my programming. In my eyes, it hits a sweet spot of not having too much complexity, no magic and being an efficient language. It has a fast compiler, a good module system and a strict type checker. Certainly helped by the module system, there is a rich set of libraries in Go. Compiling to a single file executable also solves a lot of deployment problems.

In my eyes, Go is also the modern times successor to the Wirth family of programming languages. In Europe, for a long time the Wirth languages were far more popular than C was. Only in this millenium they faded from public perception, but with Go many of their concepts and philosphies come back, even when dressed up like a C language :).

The issue is not Wayland or "something else".

The issue is trying to implement a radical change in the userspace Linux ecosystem. It's not possible without a ton of effort, so it takes an incredible amount of time, sweat and tears. That's the reason it takes 12 years and counting.

The utopian philosophy of "Linux is about choice" has doomed any idea of a Linux desktop.

Arm. See [1]. In fact, I'm aware of no architecture that supports only a single page size.

This is specifically for the old ARM1176, but there are only minor page table format tweaks in ARMv7-A and ARMv8-A AArch32 short descriptor page tables. ARMv7+ also supports what they call Long Descriptor Page Tables, which are fundamentally similar, but have 8-byte page table entries, support larger physical addresses, and have a different set of available page sizes, and lots of other little details are different.
No one is saying you should have compassion towards the Iranian regime. No one is saying you should see them as victims. No one is saying you should see them as the good guys. The only thing you should be sorry about is not trying to accurately understand the replies you are getting here or look objectively at the situation.

BTW since you like whatabouism with your argument regarding Russia: Please do compare the Iranian and Saudi Arabian regimes for me; one is an enemy with sanctions and the other an ally. Internally they are not that different. Externally there is a major difference though: only one is engaging in a hostile war in another country which has resulted in civilian deaths and famine. While there are claims to be made about Iranian foreign interference it is nowhere near that level. So again please take some minutes to ponder objectively how these countries are treated.

The problem is the law is terrible. Github's actions are pretty much required as far as I can tell.

Edit: I'd like to add that one thing Github could do is accept liability for copyright infringement and fight against frivolous claims like this in court. Maybe users should start demanding companies protect them from tactics like this, but the existing legal penalties are severely in the claimants favor.

I think this is a time to use revenue instead of profits. Apple has many sources of money, all of which contributes to profits.

Nowhere did I say it is. I simply think that, if one were following the right information, his win was not as unexpected as the coastal media presented it as being.

It's a proof of identity, as well, because a certificate contains much more than just a public key, it contains names of servers etc. It's the CA saying "I attest that the holder of the private key that matches this certificate has this identity".

Under some schemes (see the EiDAS regulations if you have trouble to going to sleep some night soon) that also vouch for company registration numbers, company roles granted within the EU financial system etc etc.

I'm not sure how (or why) you would do that with a blockchain.
Blaine Washington is right along the Canadian border and next to many islands. The islands are sparsely inhabited and infrequently visited by humans it makes me wonder if maybe there is still a colony out there. It seems like a difficult area to do containment so glad they tracked these down.

Won't you want to destroy the nest once the vacuuming is done?
Nate was the outlier in that respect. But it’s true that the polls aren’t weren’t all that inaccurate in 2016: a bunch of important swing states were within the margin of error and Trump won some important states by very small margins.

The mistake in 2016, IMO was a) the extrapolation that came from those polls and b) people paying way too much attention to national polls, which have very little connection to electoral outcomes, given the electoral college.

Also perhaps c) the larger public not “getting” statistics in the way they’ve been presented. The NYT had, if I recall, Clinton at 90% chance of winning. That still means that in one of every ten flips of a coin is a Trump win. But people read “90% chance” as “definite win”. I don’t actually know what anyone should or could do about that.
It’s worth noting that the honeybee defense mechanism you describe is unique to Asian honeybees, which evolved this defense specifically because of the native Asian giant hornet / murder hornet.

European honeybees, which are used in most of the world, have no such defense mechanism and would indeed be helplessly slaughtered by these hornets.

I’d definitely advocate watching some YouTube footage about these creatures, they’re fascinating.
It's meh. I find no matter how much I use it (going on like 6 years on-and-off now), I do a lot of tedious work. If I'm getting paid by the hour or salaried, that's fine. I'll get paid to do compiler-work by hand.

But if I'm trying to do a personal project, that amounts to a waste of time with 0 value.
Bioenergy Code Review
There's this limit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremermann%27s_limit that says that there's a maximum information processing throughput per kilogram of mass. There's this limit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekenstein_bound that describes the maximum density of information per area.

So it seems if it would be possible to have/process information without energy those limits would be infinite. At least my layman reasoning leads me to believe this.

I don't believe that's correct. The move, minimize, full-screen and resize seems to be part of the xdg_shell protocol (which has no extra methods for decorations and is only for window roles etc...) under the configure event [1]. I suspect that's how the tiling window managers like sway do it without extra server-side decorations.

Possibly this is a subtle distinction, but I do think it matters.

If you have a die that rolls a one 1/6 of the time, do you consider the die wrong?
This was indeed bound to happen. The discussions we have are what's needed to decide how the internet/web moves forward. And there's a bit of cake eating and having it too from both sides.

There's an expectation from the publishing/serving side of the equation that the content is being served to a proprietary app or a web browser that works a particular way. With the browser being one of Chrome, Firefox, etc., along with Google's YouTube apps.

On the user side, especially those who understand how the content is served, that the browser is not the only abstraction allowed. Google themselves run bots to scour the internet employing all sorts of tricks to access and index content. There's a fundamental way in which the http protocol works and its content served that is client agnostic. Everyone, Google Search most of all, have benefitted from this.

Making tools other than browsers illegal will fundamentally break the internet in my opinion.

> I'm not sure why that kind of interstate correlation should impact predictions?

538 has low positive correlations between states on average, which actually has a big impact, it increases overall uncertainty (and therefore Trump's win probability). Why? If the states are not correlated, you usually end up with a few states going off the rails, like Trump winning Colorado without any nationwide swing.

> Khaled was one of the hijackers in the TWA Flight 840 hijacking in 1969, which was in of itself one of the four simultaneous Dawson's Field hijackings the following year as part of the campaign of Black September in Jordan. The first woman to hijack an airplane,[2] she was later released in a prisoner exchange for civilian hostages kidnapped by her fellow PFLP members.

My favorite example of the gap between copyright jurisdictions is P. G. Wodehouse. He died in 1975, but published a lot of work before 1925, including a great many Jeeves and Wooster stories. So in his home country, his work won't be public domain until 2046, but in the U.S. there's plenty of public domain material. There's a similar story with Agatha Christie.

I do not like it. The lack a proper (1) Class, (2) Enums (seriously, using constants to describe a proper Enum like Java has is a must, we are in 2020 not in 1980), (3) being able to call methods on methods on nil pointers, (4) generics that are available for langauge internals but not for language users, the list could go on. All this just because I am working on it few months now. Let's see how it will evolve through the years, but could not have been worst start.
