> An early use of the word copyleft was in Li-Chen Wang's Palo Alto Tiny BASIC's distribution notice "@COPYLEFT ALL WRONGS RESERVED" in June 1976. Tiny BASIC was not distributed under any formal form of copyleft distribution terms, but it was presented in a context where source code was being shared and modified. In fact, Wang had earlier contributed edits to Tiny BASIC Extended before writing his own BASIC interpreter. He encouraged others to adapt his source code and publish their adaptions, as with Roger Rauskolb's version of PATB published in Interface Age.

And in fact it is illegal for YouTube to lock your data within their service in that manner in the EU. You have a right to export your data and they have the responsibility to make it make possible to move that data to a competitor where technically feasible. And it clearly is technically feasible.

(A) seems applicable to me. It is obvious that the primary purpose of youtube-dl is to download videos from YouTube. It is also obvious that most videos on YouTube are copyrighted, and the absence of a ‘download’ button protects the copyright holder’s right to prevent viewers from redistributing the videos. The contentious part is whether not YouTube has “effective” anti-downloading controls that youtube-dl “circumvents.” The fact that it needs to be continually updated to defeat attempts at blocking it suggests that this is a fair characterisation.
And, it is important to note, saying "black lives matter" emphatically does NOT mean that you think that non-black lives don't matter. But the sad fact of the matter is that historically black lives have often not mattered as much as non-black lives, and sometimes (perhaps even often) still don't even today. That's the reason for the emphasis being placed where it is.

You know what would make it really clear -- a "Quick Start" section, show me how to go from 0 to 1 with your library.

From what I can gather:

- `pip install` your library

- create a golang project

- write some routes (and annotate them accordingly)

- call your library via `python ...` (?)

- api.yaml is written to my directory

Thanks for open sourcing this software!
What I mean is that shell speaks paths, pipes, and processes natively, and you can creatively use tools that are "just there". Example: http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2017/09/19.html

It's an analogy, not a precise statement. It could be made more precise by using Oil as the center of a container-based "semi-distro", i.e. a distro that does everything that's not hardware related.

I guess a little like the complement to what CoreOS was doing (or is?). (This is a project I've been thinking about for awhile; anyone should feel free to contact me if they've done something like that or have ideas. It's related to the dev tools problems described in the blog post.)

I have a pet parrot who seems to always sing in the same key. Now I feel bad for whistling off-key to him all these years!

Assuming that perfect pitch is an immutable skill after a certain point, I wonder whether the age of acquisition still matters. Do people who learn the skill earlier have more fine-grained perception?

You're doing it again!

You can't justify belief in a baseless conspiracy theory by saying that some other vaguely related thing was true! You can't. The logic doesn't work.

Why is monorepo a bad idea?

The article says that all the good things of monorepos can be done elsewhere, but doesn't say what monorepos are bad, except that the author thinks it is bad that a monorepo lets you easily test a change all your software at once instead of letting you ship broken code that is only noticed at runtime.
I won't lie, I was thrilled the first time I saw the holes in aromatic rings in electron density from my experiment. But until the very end of last century, X-ray crystallography was still difficult enough to be a full-time occupation and a single crystal structure was a PhD thesis. In my experience that kind of narrow focus becomes self-propagating whether or not the method generates beautiful figures.
How does the concept of the electoral college protect the republic any more than a popular vote? It seems to be a layer of indirection rather than anything useful. If it was useful for preventing poor candidates, I feel it’s not working that well.

The effect it has is to amplify the voice of sparsely populated states. Do we actually think that these states are more qualified to decide what we have to dinner (or more qualified to protect the republic?)

I’m also unsure how breaking down the popular vote by district helps to protect the republic further. Why not just use the popular vote (or even better, RCV or approval voting) instead of adding these layers of indirection?
WWII shows the absolutely mind boggling amount of bombs you can drop on an area without actually killing that many people. After buildings have already been hit once they make repeated strikes less effective. Chemical weapons are pound for pound vastly more deadly, especially as a follow up and more importantly disable people tying up resources for medical treatment and evacuation.

The most recent example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghouta_chemical_attack which killed or incapacitated ~5,000 with a few rockets. It also acted at least in the short term as area denial which can be extremely useful.

PS: In terms of fighting a near parity army, simply using tents separated by sandbag walls makes bombs or rocket strikes significantly less effective. Add even the threat of chemical weapons and things become significantly more difficult. http://armymomstrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2-milita...

Ya, there are also speed considerations when it comes to hashing that are more important than total security. If your mobile phone catches on fire, or your bandwidth is cut by half the extra security isn't worth the trade.

Also go back to 1920 and design a public crypto system that can't be broken today.
If you want to talk about a failure you should talk about the kin.

Exactly. It’s an organization with a website, a donation page, and a published set of beliefs on that website, but I can’t seem to say anything about it that isn’t emphatic agreement without getting back loaded questions about how how racist I might be. When Fortune 500 companies are donating to the cause and its brand imagery is showing up everywhere from video games to github, then we have a right to critique it without fearing social ostracism.
This. I want Songza back. Why did google have to buy it only to kill it??
Appland.org has an open framework for creating simple component architecture diagrams from executing test cases. There are agents for java and Ruby that generate the diagrams directly from those test cases. I don’t know if they would meet your boss’s requirements but maybe they can give you some ideas about how to get started, you can get feedback on what you have built and refine by hand from there?
> Nuclear energy is more cost effective than alternatives.

The UK's first nuclear power plant cost half a billion in today's money. The current (and only) one being built in the UK is up to 23Bn for construction, plus ~50Bn in electricity subsidies, and is overbudget and delayed.

> cost prohibitive to build nuclear power plants by way of onerous regulation

> It is cheaper

You can't have it both ways. Everything is cheap if you exclude the costs which are annoying. Where, and how, is this regulation going to be removed, and how cheaply and how quickly? The fossil fuel lobbyists aren't going to roll over cheaply and let it happen. Nor are they going to agree to disallow lobbying for the greater good. They should, but they won't. Then what?
That's fair. I hadn't thought about that. Thanks :)

TL;DW: Andy lives in a rented apartment in Portland that Hulu’s “Shill” series wanted to film in, but couldn’t agree on compensation levels. Landlord (who lives in the building) basically decided he wants this thing done, and started the whole “crazy neighbour” routine: shouting through walls, insulting him, staring through windows, taking down the mailbox, and removing the wifi network. Andy seems to have moved out, and I guess will sue the guy for breaching the lease.

The landlord seems like a piece of work. All this to be able to say at parties “hey, my house was used to film that tv series <that nobody remembers anymore>”. I hope somebody throws the book at him.

Even sadder, the production crew doesn’t seem to care. I guess you don’t win an Emmy without breaking some dude’s life, or something.

I loathe whenever these articles pop up on HN because they embrace an almost puerile approach to a wide range of complex issues surrounding Nuclear power and conclude their critics as histrionic environmentalists to avoid the demanding task of defending the atom. when people express concern about nuclear energy its not just meltdowns. its the entire lifecycle.

>Yes, it’s true that fission power plants that cut corners could lead to radioactivity-related disasters

it isnt just the plants, The US has had more than fifty nuclear accidents since we've harnessed the atom, the majority in the service of nuclear power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_accidents_by_cou...

There are currently 21 stranded nuclear waste sites in the US that have nothing to do with a powerplant, and will not, for another 900 years. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2019/05/31/new-map-...

Nuclear plants are an enticing target for terrorists, natural disasters, and human error with consequences far outstripping any carbon benefit. Major accidents can render tens or hundreds of kilometers of sterile earth uninhabitable for thousands of years, during which time floods and fires can continue to poison surrounding areas as was seen recently with the wildfires of Pripyat.

We still, to this date, have no comprehensive or cogent plan to properly extinguish a nuclear fire the scale of Chernobyl other than sacrificing first responders until the catastrophe abates. We didnt even have a competent plan to prevent or arrest the meltdown at Fukushima which created its own 400km exclusion zone.

finally, we have no competent architectural, structural, or societal plan to alert or inform anyone 20,000 years from now of the vast areas of nuclear contamination we will have left buried in the earth in the desperate hope of staving off irreversible climate change. The idea that we would so foolheartedly blaze a trail of atomic poison without considering in any of these articles a future generation smacks of a pandersome tone that seeks a quick and dirty answer to a problem that renewables --which require careful consideration and study-- can easily achieve.

Nuclear is the dullards flex-tape solution to a much larger concern of careful consideration, moderation, and sustainable lifecycles of energy for the future.
And yet that was a snapshot of a dynamic process. Seeing an image of the horse didn’t actually reveal how it galloped, we had plenty of those and got it wrong. Seeing many images of the dynamics did, that’s a subtle but important difference. Movies are way more helpful than photographs. A crystal (or cryoem) structure is a snapshot of a horse standing still. We rarely care about that, though maybe we can guess that it uses its hind legs intensely because it’s very muscular. We do care about how it gallops, and don’t have a clue how with a single picture.

Put another way, we have “pictures” of dinosaurs, but have limited understanding of how they socialized, interacted, moved. We have ideas and guesses, sure, most based on descendants and modern context. Hypotheses, but few answers. Now if we had a movie of a dinosaur...
Protecting against tyranny of the majority simply by changing the weight of votes is replacing it with tyranny of the minority, as you say.

Other checks on the tyranny of the majority, like protecting the rights of individuals (in light of shared values) in the face of a majority decision to violate them is hard to characterize as tyranny at all.

Requiring legislation to pass two bodies with different weights is an interesting move which isn't precisely the former; it deserves a weakened version of the same criticism, and it is not entirely clear whether it pays dividends to make up for it. I agree with the implied premise that decisions are more likely to be good ones if they look good from more angles.

There is much ink spilled in apologia of the current system around how the needs and experiences of those in cities are very different than those of people in rural communities, and the system needs to avoid being blind to either. I don't think that's entirely misguided but it smells a bit of special pleading; there are other ways we can slice the electorate that would likely lead to comparable (or larger) differences in needs and experiences, and we don't change the weights in light of that.
This was a fantastic introduction to modern performant/typesafe python -- I had no idea FastAPI existed, and did not know about the projects it depends on, starlette[0] and pydantic[1].

Prior to today if I was starting a python project I probably would reach for PyPy + falcon/flask/django and go until I hit a limitation that required CPython, but with starlette/pydantic I'm more than happy to settle for NodeJS-like performance on CPython. And of course, the OpenAPI/Swagger support is an amazing feature, APIs shouldn't be built without it these days.

Still seems less than ideal to be able to generate a second document that hashes to the same value.

>But that library excludes information about the targeting that determines who sees the ads.

>The researchers behind the NYU Ad Observatory said they wanted to provide journalists, researchers, policy makers, and others with the ability to search political ads by state and contest to see what messages are targeted to specific audiences and how those ads are funded.

The point of the research is to figure out what ads Facebook shows to which users, which is of course particularly important for people who try to do research on how ads on Facebook intersect with politics.
This seems likely; both sides might see it as a prisoner's dilemma situation, where there isn't any basis for trust and it's safer to destroy the other civilization before they're destroyed themselves.

(I don't think Iraq was actually such a situation, but at least on the American side some influential decision makers may have believed that it was.)

On the other hand, you might have something more like a cold war situation, where both sides have the capacity to destroy the other completely or almost completely but not without an equivalent counterattack, and so both sides have much more to lose than to gain by striking first.

It seems to be difficult to advise you on this without knowing more about the specific nature of your mental illness — although it's entirely understandable that you're not too keen to share details.

But ultimately, everybody is dealing with some mental health issues (Sigmund Freud said something along the lines of perfect mental health being an unattainable goal for any civilized person), so being aware of your specific issues might put you ahead of the game, if you use this as motivation to monitor your symptoms and counteract your detrimental behaviors, instead of normalizing them.
Uh... whose modelling? We've never had a pandemic election, I think it's fair to say no one has any idea which demographics are more/less affected by an early voting drive. All we can say is that a whole lot of people are voting early.
Fine, make it more complex:

> (f(termLimit) * nFor) / (f(termLimit) * nAgainst)

Same result. Unless you think that one side of vote is distinctly affected by term limits?

See sibling response. The example illustrates the principle. My point is that it either has nothing to do with civil rights whatsoever (any, not just speech; if I'm wrong please elaborate), or it is slightly anti-civil-rights, in a way indicative to me of being much more anti-civil-rights than the tweets would let on.

Are things besides water used? Like a vacuum or something else? Would the stiffness be dependent on the energy density gradient between what it is embedded in?

The technique reminds of those i've seen in sparse eigen decomposition of a matrix, where some non square matrix X is embedded in a larger sparse matrix of zeros of the form:

⎡ zeros(X.n_rows, X.n_rows) X ⎤

⎣ X.t() zeros(X.n_cols, X.n_cols) ⎦

Except for in this case the larger matrix of zeros would be replaced by a repeated structure. Though I can't help but think that using non zeros would get some weird energy feedbacks (due to the interaction of the protein with the embedding matrix molecules) that would require some renormalizations.
