yeah - but if you increase the minimum wage all you're doing is hurting the middle class. If i had a relatively Okay/good job that required some kind of education (phlebotomy, for instance) and get paid $20 an hour, I can live comfortably. Once you raise the minimum wage to $18 an hour, my pay isn't going to jump but you can bet inflation will.
Agreed, though the RIAA may well have sent a letter anyway. There's not really any downside to them sending a takedown that is overly broad.

There's nothing inherent about an object-based design that limits what you can glue together. Yes, it might require a bit more effort to transform object formats, but today's untyped shell also creates problems that don't exist in a typed environment.

A good example of what your saying is Jimmy Whales. He claims to have taken no salary from Wikimedia [1], despite running one of the top internet sites by traffic. Wikipedia makes a fair chunk in donations, but none of their execs make more than about $200k or $300k, IIRC.

If anything, a top exec making $2 million at a tech non-profit might be actively attracting the wrong leadership to run Mozilla. Same with the other top execs. If Firefox share was increasing, perhaps you'd have a case otherwise. I kinda hope someone creates a viable Firefox fork and backing org, with better stewardship as I've long been a Firefox fan.

1) the part that specifically says the states shall choose their own presidential electors. The supreme court has said delegating this power to a popular (statewide) vote is permissable, but when delegated, the vote must adhere to 1 person 1 vote principles. A delegated-power that incorporates the votes of other states likely violates this principal, and is therefore unconstitutional.

2) the part that says no interstate compacts without express approval of congress
Isn't DMCA working the way that if you disagree with dmca takedown and fill certain form, the side asking to take down content (RIAA) needs to get court order?

That's the way how it works with google search.
That's exactly how I was trained.

The first step is always sight-singing. The teacher gave me a drone note (for example an A4), and I sang according to a sheet music. Not necessarily a triad, though.

Then, it's the other way around, where the teacher played on a piano, and I tried to figure out the note.
I realize it defeats the purpose, but if you guess the correct answer once you can keep clicking the same answer to make the counter go up
For the same reason GPS satellites have atomic clocks.

In the case of old ships, it was all about navigating very precisely by comparing moving visual reference points (i.e., stars), against a reference that then derives the location based on one's position relative to those reference points at a given time.

Any increase in error in either of the two inputs will cause significant positioning errors. The quality of the sextant and the navigator determined the error of the visual reckoning of one's position relative to the stars, the time error was down to the quality of the on-ship chronometer. A trustworthy deck chronometer used to be one of the most important pieces of tech on the planet. Zeroing that chronometer to a trustworthy timekeeping reference while in port is the idea here.

If the earth neither orbited nor turned, the time component wouldn't be necessary. (That isn't entirely true: nothing in space-time between the navigator and the stars would be able to move without introducing an error rate, but the error rates would probably be low enough for that not to be a factor. If I were less lazy and more educated I'd try to work out how much error that introduces.)

Everyone should buy an inexpensive training sextant (e.g., Davis Instruments Mark III Training Sextant) and learn the basics of how celestial navigation works. (For the inclined, there are also good training videos on YouTube.)
I have a signed copy of this. I love it. Free Software, Free Society was maybe the most important book I read in college.

I wish RMS didn't have the issues around women that he does, but I immensely venerate his thinking on software freedom.
Because on the shell side you want simplicity and on the programming side you want control. Shell pretty much has to default to "foo" meaning "execute command foo from $PATH" or almost every line will have useless overhead. GP language needs to make that explicit or it will be a footgun where you don't know what's a command / variable / function. And that's before we get into how the file descriptors / redirects are handled.

One shell which tries to merge those is ipython with the sh profile https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactive/shell.h...
Namecheap Has Locked My Account for Almost 2 Months (and Continues to Ignore Me)
I've used Namecheap for years and have never even had to contact customer support. The site just worked, and everything was fine.

At the beginning of September, I bought a new domain name, and two days later got an email saying because of suspicious activity my account had been locked. After attempting to login on namecheap.com, I got the same message, with text saying I should submit a ticket.

I responded to the email, letting them know I hadn’t logged in since I bought the domain, and asked them to do a password reset. I got swamped with other things, and forgot about it until two weeks later, when they finally responded with another email.

They said sorry for the delay, and basically asked the same things. Had I logged into the account, did I share the account, etc.

I repeated what information I had given them before, asked what else they might need to resolve the issue ASAP, and waited. 10 days after that I still hadn’t received a response, so I emailed them again. I also chatted with support on their website, but they said I have to wait for them to reply to the email since it was a “security matter”.

I sent another email 20 days after that, making it almost 2 months in total that I haven’t been able to access my domains, and use the new domain I bought. Has anyone else had this much trouble with namecheap? I don’t even think I can transfer my domains if I can’t get into my account can I?

Any suggestions on what I can do? I haven’t had any problems up until now, but this is ridiculous. I’d love to be able to use what I paid for… Let me know if you’ve had similar issues with them and how you got it resolved, thanks!
> First, it's not just that some rich people are pedophiles. It's called a conspiracy theory for a reason - there's conspiring going on. The CEO of the Ritz knows that his hotels offer underage prostitutes. The personal concierge directs the CEO to club which is known to be "good for rich people." The club owner knows that the company they outsource to for renting table dancers on the weekends also has dancers doing some prostituting on the side. The other rich attendees of the club (who are not purchasing) can see that that girl is clearly not 21. There's more than just pedophilia going on here - a system of winks and nods whereby powerful people are offered the opportunity to engage in illegal behavior and make no moves against the powerful people who facilitate these opportunities.

And? Is the claim made more meaningful by these specifics?

> The second thing is that you're missing the point around alignment. These people DON'T align themselves with each other. They frequent the same forums as each other (e.g. 8chan) and disagree with each other on those forums. It's only in the eyes of the media and in people influenced by the media that the various flavors of conspiracy people are actually aligned.

People who regularly meet and discuss things are aligned on the part that counts. They might not be organized, but they're definitely aligned
Brainwashed: The Echoes of MK-Ultra
Comments like this in here seem out of place. We're a community of hackers. Just read the source and figure out how it downloads the videos. Next time YT changes something it'd probably be some query string in the url. It's not rocket science to download stuff from video sites.

YouTube was just an example as it's easier to show damage and remedy.

GitHub?

- How does this third-party unlawful request not constitute tortious interference between GitHub and all users (or just the paying member who owns this repo)?

- If not directly tortious interference, this action could absolutely result in the loss of paying members and reputation damage.

- The very fact we're discussing this means GitHub has suffered damage to their brand.

- How does this resulting loss of source code not diminish the value of GitHub as a company?

Youtube is literally in the name. This isn't a compelling argument.
Nowadays (if there's ever been a time in history) it's not easy to voice opinions that diverge from the crowd.

With stuff like Instagram it's the norm that people mime meaningless things, just mindlessly repeating unexamined ideas (blackout is a great example).

It's gobsmacking to me when I see how many educated (liberal arts educated friends, no less) people passing around these conversation guide infographics...as though they can't express original ideas, hold a conversation, etc.

It's critical that people are brave enough to recognize the obvious illiberal attitudes circulating and criticize them for the nonsense they are.
Napster and VCRs were both accused of being tools to infringe copyright, VCRs won the lawsuit, napster lost. A big part of that related to how napster positioned itself in terms of marketing compared to vcrs.
It's not access to the current program that is at stake, it's the ongoing public updates to handle changes made by the Youtube site.
> many people are stumped why you can't await inside of Array#map

Isn't that solved with a simple google search? Async/await makes the function return promises, so if you use an async callback in Array#map you end up with an array of promises, which you can use with Promise#all. Seems rather simple to explain and grok.
Came here to say more or less the same thing. The lack of arms was what made it immediately awkward to me, even just looking at a still image.

Most lenses that autofocus are all about reaching that focus point as fast as possible in order to take a still photo. When you are focusing for video, you're often "pulling focus" (i.e. adjusting the depth where you're focusing) very slowly, and sometimes back and forth between two or more set distances [1]. No autofocus lens is going to know what the director or cinematographer had in mind for the shot. At best you can have AI which will follow a moving object, or look for eyes, but that doesn't solve the general case at all.

I'm fairly confident we'll eventually find that our form of life is the result of intentional or unintentional colonization of Earth.

If you look at how quickly life began after the oceans settled out, then look at precisely how complex even the most primitive forms of life are (in terms of likelihood of stochastic construction to the point of sophistication to support evolutionary mechanisms) it seems incredibly unlikely that we originated here.

In South Africa, twitter users make regular calls for the killing of white people, about as regularly as 4chan/pol has calls for killing jews.

The other day twitter refused to remove of an extremely hateful image of 2 white people's decapited heads being held up by 2 black women.

So no, they are about the same. One platform will ban hate speech from some groups but not from others.

Too late; the code is already tainted. It carries the colour of "intended, marketed and used for copyright violation", and you can't just wash it away by reuploading the repo under a different name.
If you're in a safe state that's a different political leaning than you are, there isn't much incentive for you to vote. Your vote, for President anyway, is effectively meaningless.
Transposing with a capo should preserve it exactly.
Agreed and here the law actually defines this term:

> a technological measure “effectively controls access to a work” if the measure, in the ordinary course of its operation, requires the application of information, or a process or a treatment, with the authority of the copyright owner, to gain access to the work.

In the ordinary course of using YouTube you cannot save copyrighted videos. This isn't so much the RIAA overreaching as it is them taking full advantage of a bad law.

(Also, Google actually did go out of their way to make it hard to save the files. Go hit F12 yourself and try. There's a reason a whole project exists to make it easier.)
I agree that Lisp offers a fast feedback loop, and I have programmed in it (though not professionally) for about 14 years now.

Regarding '"interface vs implementation" nonsense', that's kind of nonsense to call it nonsense. Most of us don't (professionally) get to work in Lisp or other non-batch compiled languages. In those cases, the separation (in sane language implementations) can lead to much faster compilation time. But they also help to work with teams at scale, and make it easier to substitute implementations without having to recompile the entire thing (though you'll still usually have to relink it).
There's an enormous grey area in-between them though, and something that bridges that area can be insanely powerful. Making it easy to go from doing something by hand to fully automating it creates value. It's one of the main strengths of a command line interface.
So, the banning worked. There is no opinions you don't like on the internet anymore?

And all the reporting and exposure from protesters and activists, and portrayals in media aka sunshine. Hasn't reduced racism and gender bigotry over last 50 years.

I've been alive 50 years. Everything is better now than in the 70s 80s or 90s.

There are louder fringers, amplified by internet et al. But, society at large has, is, and will continue to progress to less bigotry.
> We can't fake gravity.

Yes we can, it’s a standard part of fairground rides.

(I’ll agree that the unknowns of space colonisation, and of the automation we’d need to be able to afford the infrastructure to even launch a serious effort, may prevent such colony efforts from happening)

This is a really sad moment for open source, especially for content creators and devs in media/content spaces. I've shipped youtube-dl for a user-facing (production) experience before. This sucks.
Things should be getting better with the increasing adoption of N-API. Though it‘s still a long journey.
Yes and yes.

People will still be driving and making money. But there will be more people doing it and catering to a much wider audience.

It'll flatten the curve. All long tail.

Patreon is the first hint at this.
In fairness, no country in a pact attacked another country in its pact. The issue was there were 2 competing and independent alliance groups rather than 1 (World) trade group.
Right, it gives creators freedom to build what they want. In this case, YouTube. The sword cuts both ways.
I think a rebrand would and a healthy amount of not-with-a-10-foot-pole-itis in their attitude towards any mention of youtube or music downloading would be helpful. Like a secret menu item at a resturaunt you could use <generic>-dl to download youtube videos, but don't specifically endorse it.
JSONB is a private internal data representation in PostgreSQL, designed to be faster to index than textual JSON. As I understand it, it isn’t guaranteed to be stable, it isn’t exposed outside PostgreSQL, nor designed for data interchange.
Because GitHub is also American?
Agreed. I love this quote about it from Thomas Carlyle singled out in the post (which I think is good despite the title!):

"The Bottles they drank out of are all broken, the Chairs they sat on all rotted and burnt; the very Knives and Forks they ate with have rusted to the heart, and become brown oxide of iron, and mingled with the indiscriminate clay. All, all has vanished; in every deed and truth, like that baseless fabric of Prospero's air-vision. Of the Mitre Tavern nothing but the bare walls remain there: of London, of England, of the World, nothing but the bare walls remain; and these also decaying (were they of adamant), only slower. The mysterious River of Existence rushes on: a new Billow thereof has arrived, and lashes wildly as ever round the old embankments; but the former Billow with its loud, mad eddyings, where is it? Where! Now this Book of Boswell's, this is precisely a revocation of the edict of Destiny; so that Time shall not utterly, not so soon by several centuries, have dominion over us. A little row of Naphtha-lamps, with its line of Naphtha-light, burns clear and holy through the dead Night of the Past: they who are gone are still here; though hidden they are revealed, though dead they yet speak. There it shines, that little miraculously lamplit Pathway; shedding its feebler and feebler twilight into the boundless dark Oblivion, for all that our Johnson touched has become illuminated for us: on which miraculous little Pathway we can still travel, and see wonders."
Perhaps, but Mozilla need to pick their battle. They can’t keep splitting their resources on so many fronts.
Yes, it's called Git.
> You make a good point - without the expensive accelerator data, we’d have no idea that these omg ridiculous stupid waaaa predictions are true or false!!!

No, even with the accelerator data we probably still won't be able to conclusively rule out many approaches. We'll only be able to rule out overly specific variants of those predictions. Which, given the infinitude of available theories, doesn't do much to narrow things down.

Think of it this way: At one point, geocentric theories of planetary motion based on nested crystal spheres were requiring ever more elaborate arrangements with more spheres. More observations with greater precision only required adding more spheres.

We're somewhat in the same situation WRT high-energy physics today, in that larger and more powerful accelerators will only rule out particular theory variants, just as more powerful telescopes would only have ruled out particular arrangements of crystal spheres. Just as geocentrism as a category of theories isn't falsifiable by greater precision, many of the current approaches toward HEP aren't falsifiable by ever more powerful accelerators. You can always add another dimension or mathematical elaboration to explain the observations.

Which simply means that right now, another large particle accelerator probably isn't the most useful experimental approach to figuring out how to reconcile the two well-supported theories we do have.
And use some computer vision on the raspberry pi to read off the time? I love it! This is why they don’t let me work on hardware.

I have a Pixel phone and pay for Google Play Music since I have a large collection that I have uploaded. It's been extremely disappointing. I have tried switching to Youtube Music but the interface sucks. I'm tempted to switch over to the iPhone since I'm already unhappy with Google in other areas (showing news articles repeatedly for health issues that I searched for one time, not allowing me to turn off gmail for a Google account on Pixel, etc). Google has become extremely user-hostile of late.

As it turns out, a few days ago, I was reminiscing with an old school DJ about sample-based music production. My argument was that all one needs is a DAW and youtube-dl. It seems that the timing of my argument was rather inauspicious.
