What a silly idea!

You have to be either clueless or malicious to subscribe to the idea of pork and barrel politics (aka public policies) and deluded or incompetent to think that AI has to offer something here.

What you doing is trying to optimize outcomes of a behavior which exists for the sole purpose of plunder and wasteful consumption. Does that make any sense whatsoever?

No, relativistic mass in SR is dependent on the observer and it’s tied to the invariant mass if it’s 0 the relativistic mass is also 0.

Photons have inertia not mass, or relativistic mass.

The formula for relativistic mass is [invariant mass] / the square root of (1 - [speed of the observer]^2/C^2)

It is funny how many phenomenas have an influence on the climate, and yet there is only one phenomena [0] that explain how the low troposphere is warming while the stratosphere is cooling, and its not part of this list. Do you have a take on this too? And also orders of magnitudes are key here, but you have to go deep and stay skeptical to get that.

[0] Actually two, but we are sure the second had no influence in the last 20 years at least.

It is quite apparent how poor access for wheel chairs is in central London since it is so rare to see anyone using a wheelchair around the streets.

This was all the more apparent with when the Paralympics was on in London and I’d see far more wheelchairs users emboldened to be out and about. I’d like to see them feel at ease all of the time.

It takes a really dogged personality for someone to commute into London via the accessible stations. When (if) Crossrail opens I trust access will be easier.

For some reason I feel quite strongly about this.

There’s plenty of anecdotal proof if you just check the Oculus Quest subreddits. The amount of people who didn’t have Facebook accounts are probably not the majority so I guess their strategy has been to ban first and deal with all the frustrated users on a support call basis. Not a bad business decision but a shitty human decision from a moral standpoint (for whoever made the final call within Facebook)

That's very interesting. (Pre-Corona) I used to spend a lot of days working in coffee shops all around the city. Never at all felt any time pressure, whether in a small independent shop or a Starbucks/Costa type place. That's helped of course by the better shops making good food, too.
I think that's actually a good analogy and I have felt the same from time to time!
Unifying everything under the same account infrastructure is simply the right engineering choice. There's no need to try to explain this with ridiculous conspiracy theories about how the only reason Facebook pumped billions into VR to get a million people to create a FB account.

Account security benefits massively from economies of scale, both in the sense of infrastructure and operationally. Oculus did not have that scale. There's probably a couple of million Oculus accounts vs. ten billion Facebook ones. The Oculus accounts are probably a similar PR nightmare waiting to happen, like the Ring accounts were for Amazon or the Nest accounts for Google.

In concrete terms, Facebook accounts will have better 2FA implementation than Oculus. They'll have better protection against credential stuffing or enumeration attacks. It's less likely there's going to be some kind of an authentication bypass, or a bug where plaintext passwords are getting logged, etc. Basically, for Facebook to continue using the Oculus account system rather than migrating off would be irresponsible, and the main surprise is that they've taken this long post-acquisition to do it.

FWIW, I've never had a Facebook account, despite some minor social pressure to get one for like the last 13 years. But that's just because none of their services has ever seemed interesting in any way. But I was totally OK creating one a few days ago after buying the Quest 2.

The only problem is that at least for now a Facebook account == Facebook social network profile. I wish they were more like Google or Microsoft accounts in that a) having an account doesn't imply use of any particular Facebook product, b) they allow use of separate profiles tied to the same main account (e.g. a MS account can be associated with Xbox gamer tags for gaiming, a Google account with Youtube brand accounts for posting videos). But that's something they haven't needed until now, I'm sure it'll come.

I've been to the "anti cafe" in Rome, and the idea is that you pay for the time you spend there instead of for what you consume. It was 4 euros per hour, capped at 16 euros per day, and (potentially unlimited) snacks and coffee are included. I believe they have branches in Paris and Strasbourg[1]

You're countering what I perceive to be moral argument with a legal one, which would be a category error.

If the operating system is open and they release an SDK, that will be a big improvement over the lightphone.
Maybe I misunderstand what you meant, but by having `first()` return an `Option`, you can verify at compile-time that the caller handles the empty case, whereas an assertion would not detect the issue until runtime.

If the caller wants to kill the program when its empty, they can just call `.unwrap()` on the option to explicitly opt-in to a runtime check.
Actually I found the statement "guns don't kill people, people kill people" very oxymoronic.

Sure one might argue that if you have the intent to kill, it's not necessary for one to use a gun, you have alternatives such as grenades, knives, chainsaw or even your bare hand if it's lethal enough. This is how you derive that "the gun is not evil, it's the people who are" statement.

But guns, under the category of firearms (not only guns, what about rocker launchers?), are almost-certainly designated to kill, and what is the top priority of firearm? Aim to be the most efficient killing machine.

So if you use a gun, it's not necessary that you are going to kill people, but it is very likely that you are imposing a threat to do so, regardless of if you're attacking/defending.

Therefore, trying to apply the gun analogy to current state of youtube-dl is an injustice to youtube-dl, as you compared an intrinsically evil entity to another.

Depending on what you want to do, Python with numpy could be an option.

In terms of longevity, I don't think Python is going to repeat the 2/3 shenanigans any time soon so with python 3 you should be ok, and in terms of speed, numpy is used in many HPC applications: if applied correctly and depending on use case, writing C/C++ code that performs on par with it will be quite hard.
You're trying very hard to make a technical distinction but the problem is that this is a legal problem not a technical one and rightly or wrongly, legal definitions don't always align with technical ones.

For starters, intent is factored into the law. There's several different classifications of murder depending on intent. Likewise someone carrying a kitchen knife home, still packaged, from the shops is unlikely to be reprimanded compared to someone carrying a more decorative knife around. They're both knives but one instance clearly carries a different intent to another.

The problem with youtube-dl is that having tests which work against copyrighted content and having the README describe usages against copyrighted content, it's much harder to argue that the intent of this is purely for copyleft content. Your point about this being an access tool (which actually makes no difference in terms of circumventing DRM anyway -- which was the claim for the take down) also doesn't fly because this tool creates a file on your local disk so it's hard to argue that the intent is for that file to be temporary.

I'm not saying I agree with the take down notice (I don't) but something a great many techies on here miss is that not every argument can be won with science.
Do you mean that building the tool takes 1 day? LibreOffice compilation doesn't take as long, and LibreOffice is huge.
> Yet in allowing them legal personhood there is latitude in providing mechanisms to provide them with exactly that - Agency and awareness - such that their legal rights can be protected

One cannot imbue awareness and agency by human fiat, which is where why my mention of a legal device comes in.

> In terms of legal precedent, this is not an entirely new concept ... such principles might be extended further

Hmm. This is a good point indeed.
The distribution of youtube-dl itself is what's at issue, not the use of youtube-dl or the distribution of files downloaded with youtube-dl.

I'm also looking for a decent (ideally wireless) headset that works fine on Linux, with as good microphone as possible.

Currently I have
- wired Sennheiser PC 350 SE - mic quality is good
- Sony WH-1000XM3 - mic quality is mediocre

I'm quite happy with my Sennheiser, but now more and more often I have noisy environment around, so I would prefer to have noice canceling + be able to walk around the flat when I'm on conf calls.

My understanding is that right now, even with BT 5.0, I shall not expect a high quality codec as all duplex profiles (HFP/HSP) use low quality codes (ref: https://habr.com/en/post/456182), but I would be OK something with a dongle too, as long as it works OK on Linux. I was contemplating EPOS Adapt 560, but after watching many tests by CallOne (https://www.youtube.com/c/CallOneInc/videos) I'm just not too impressed. And also, I have no idea how those will work on Linux... Any recommendations?
> 2)Facebook is NOT close to capturing all users imaginable and this will help in their global strategy of acquisition in the future (as VR becomes ubiquitous)

They really, really are. They have 2.7bn MAU, and even the people who no longer use the service probably still have accounts. They almost certainly have an account on 80% of all the people in the developed countries in the world.

Like, most of their recent growth has come from the developing world, because they subsidise internet access to juice the user numbers for the Street. They're not doing it to make money today, it's all about making sure that they are ubiquitous.

> 3)Your biggest problem is that you can’t think of creative ways to use data. Game libraries and play spaces can give more information on user income levels, user activity on Oculus helps Facebook understand how much of their users time is spent in games typically outside of Facebooks purview (there’s no tracking cookies in Steam games), the hours of operation of the device can give information about a persons occupational status, etc.

You are wildly underestimating the data that FB get from web/app tracking. Consider, if you're a gamer you probably visit game websites for socialisation or advice. The only benefit of the account stuff (from an ads perspective) is being able to sell access to Oculus users to Oculus app makers.

Like, FB already get pings from pretty much every website and app in existence, so they already know where people spend their time, no need for Oculus for that.

I personally think that tying Oculus to FB is a terrible idea which will get them in loads of trouble from an anti-trust perspective, but they're almost certainly doing it to reduce costs, rather than to get gamers data (which they already have, btw).
