> > As the saying goes, Zerohedge has predicted 28 of the last 4 recessions.

> I wonder if that's actually true.

Its not, as ZH was founded during the Great Recession, and there's only been one since.

That's at least 10 less than they've predicted, though, so the quote, while not literally true, understates the degree to which ZH overpredicts recessions.
This seems about right. I do not agree with some people, but I want to hear them and do not want to censor them.

It seems that this favor is not returned.
It's also github. The other year China tried blocking github via the GFW and had to allow it because so many developers there needed it.

Either way you can host git yourself (or just use git format-patch) there's not a single thing github really does for you other than integrate a bunch of self-hostable tools behind a flashy (and increasingly less usable) web GUI.

Possibly chemically with e.g. Deoxit instead of mechanically?
as a web dev, i have disdain for just about every venture that i work for, and my goal is to exert as little energy as possible. i actually think this is healthier than trying to pretend like you care about the product. i make sure that i am not actively worsening inequality or destroying the climate when choosing where to work. but i have no illusions that my work is anything other than just a (hopefully failed) attempt by my employer to make themselves richer. i say hopefully because i think the distribution of resources is already too lopsided here in america. i am somewhat conflicted about if this means i should stop working in this field altogether. i am generally quite effective and seem to deliver what whomever is writing my checks wants, and the checks are pretty decent. but i guess i have to, in a broad sense, bite my tongue and pretend that the product is not stupid. whereas in my younger days, i think i staked some of my ego on my ability, or perception thereof, now i am mostly indifferent to criticism from people who have no idea what they are talking about, and criticism from peers is actually enjoyable because i can learn something. i guess i am about as detached from my job as i can be, mentally.

if this were all i did i think it would be really bad for me. but i am a musician and over the last year or two, starting to lay the foundation of an electronics recycling plant. so those two things are both very meaningful to me and fill the hole. but sometimes i worry a little bit about how stupid i think what i do for the majority of my money is.
Any general purpose conformal coating is fine. I don't understand why it'd make repair more difficult. Most of them can be soldered through directly, or you can use thinners or strippers to remove them.

If you want silicone you can find it. Here's one example: https://uk.farnell.com/mg-chemicals/422b-340g/chemical-coati...
When I went back to school to get my CS degree, I developed a pretty strict habit of only taking my lecture notes by hand, usually by printing out the lecture slides in advance and then annotating them with a bright turquoise fountain pen ink. Nowadays, for work, I use Org mode. Apart from the convenience of always having it to hand in my editor, being able to insert hyperlinks in my notes to specific lines in our source code is a game changer.
It's neat! What do you imagine the use cases being?
My problem is that the whole interface is a minefield of pop up panels on the browser. There is little space that you can move your mouse without it tossing up some panel on mouse over events. It is adds a lot of visual clutter and most of the popups add nothing in the movement. Why does every name and date generate a pop up with more details on mouseover? I can click through if I want more.

It is particularly troublesome when you move your mouse to click on something and pass over a hotspot that pop us up another panel just as you click. Suddenly you’ve missed your click target and clicked something else.

I suspect that all of these popups are also why the page now consumes so much RAM. If facebook is loaded it soon consumes 2GB or more of RAM. The CPU usage also rises. This is a site with “big bones”.
> How could you upload just your brain and be the same person? Need your whole body, surely?

In practice, people who received heart transplants are generally considered to be the same person as they had been before the transplantation, so it seems most of us have already accepted that you don't need the whole body.
"If you don't agree with me on X, then unfriend me, as I don't want any people like you in my life!"

Most of those comments I have seen are specifically related to racism. For example, an individual will state that "if you don't support Black lives, unfriend me". I fail to find fault with that. Can you explain why it is problematic for someone to want to distance themselves socially from people that are opting-in to oppose a modern civil rights movement? I would certainly do the same with anyone who opposed the right of Women to vote, or gay people to marry.
> After, what 100 years(?) we find ourselves where we are no, with the patient having no control (and often no knowledge) of the issues that relate to them, while the system has it all.

I'd argue this, but I recognise I am in a privileged position of knowing how the systems work. HIPAA (in the US) and similar legislation in other countries actually puts a lot of power in the hands of patients - if they know how to use it.

You are never going to be in the situation where the patient controls their data completely (what happens if they are non-responsive, drunk or psychotic and unable to legally consent to an intervention they desperately want). I think we shall move towards access to data, and possibly interpretation of that data, but not ownership. Control of the data will always come with caveats, as the body paying for the treatment will always assert their right to how the data is transmitted to minimise costs.
Oh wow this is interesting / something to remember for my own life. So basically, they might try something out first in [small country] and if it works go to [medium country] and then if it stills works roll out to everyone?
open source will solve this problem. We'll have to build a LInux-based Oculus OS with an open app store and interface. webxr is coming along nicely (the w3c proposal)
> It's not Github/Microsoft's responsibility to make legal determinations about whether a particular DMCA takedown notice is valid.

Except, by choosing to honor it, they decided that it is legally valid.

The appropriate response to a copyright claim against material that the claimant clearly does not own is 'unless you can prove that you own this material, come back with a court order.'

Again that's not relativistic mass, relativistic mass in special relativity is dependant on the velocity, the momentum of a photon is not dependant on the velocity of the photon in vacuum or in any medium. A photon of a given wavelength (energy) has the same momentum regardless of medium it's traveling in, it's also not affected by the center of momentum as in there is never a frame of reference where the rest mass of a photon is equal to its relativistic mass for a given observer.

In general you shouldn't consider relativistic mass to be a "thing" for either massless massive particles, special relativity is useful, but it doesn't attempt to describe the universe as we know it.

As for GR well it's more complicated, GR doesn't give you the ability to calculate the invariant mass of a given system, that's arguably one of its weakest points or at least it's weirder points it's also where people try to poke holes in the theory looking for violations of the equivalence principle.
I didn't cite the BMJ as the source, but nice try. The sources include Cell and Nature, but unfortunately for you that might mean having to read something in order to discount it, which you seem unprepared for.
I absolutely do find infuriating when math is written down vaguely/confusingly/poorly, and ML papers are a great example of this happening way too often.

BUT, for your specific examples (in case that is an actual question):

The first one can be parsed using the fact that y_i in the second term wouldn't make sense if it was outside the summation, since the i index is only defined inside

The second (and actually, the first one, too) uses the very well established convention that multiplication always has precedence over summation, in every kind of expression. So the 2 multiplies the second sigma, and then the product is summed to the first sigma. This rule should make a lot of cases much clearer.
All of this is cute, but it's the kind of pseudo-philosophizing technobabble a high school student might engage in. You're making metaphysical claims, and very bad and incoherent metaphysical claims at that, so if you're serious, I highly recommend really digging into that material. Bland science fiction is no substitute for real, philosophically rigorous work.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Track record of a poster should be considered when evaluating the framing of a post.

Yes, Oracle changed the JDK's licensing model from part-proprietary/part-open, part-free/part-paid to 100% open and free (as of JDK 11). What confused some people is that the old website for the semi-free JDK is now for Oracle support customers who pay for support (even though that page directs non-customers to the free version) and Oracle provides the free JDK over at http://jdk.java.net/

These are high profile things. Most low profile murders in most places are among family and friends and coworkers and such. Or people who are doing crimes together.

Unless you are happily using a JVM-hosted language of course (Clojure in my case), in which case it is a huge advantage. I can use this immediately and easily in production.
> Being black and voting R is nuts -- same if you're gay.

I'm not sure if its objectively "nuts" but almost 25% of LGBT voters supported Romney over Obama. That's accounting for the fact that openly LGBT voters are much younger than other voters: twice as likely to be 18-34 and half as likely to be 55+. Median age is about 35, versus 50 for the overall population. Romney won 37% of folks 18-29 and 51% of folks 45-64. There are too many gay republicans to call them all "nuts."

If you want to resize the remote terminal it might be easier to determine the size locally with an ioctl and only execute "stty cols/rows" remotely.

It might also help to export the local TERM value remotely because it's not otherwise passed through a serial port.
"Third-year medical students"
The SDKs for the non big name (Nvidia, Google, AMD) accelerators have very poor developer experiences. (Granted CUDA/ROCm isn't much better) A number of the embedded SDKs require you to use their custom framework and won't support Tensorflow/Torch models out of the box. Onnx and similar conversion frameworks target only the big name chips, not off the shelf generic AI accelerator chips. Embedded systems need more software engineering.
No it didn’t. You could skip ads with the remote at set intervals (notably, TiVo did not let you auto skip the ad even though they could have, but put 15 or 90 second intervals you could customize on the remote to get past the ads very quickly, but it recorded them). ReplayTV, which did more directly skip ads (via its remote, not via recording IIRC), was sued out of existence.

Dish’s Hopper actually DID do ad-free recordings and it was sued too (but there was eventually a settlement), not just for skipping the ads but for distributing the same copy of a recording to multiple users over a server. Cablevision, likewise, was sued (but settled) over the fact that it had a cloud DVR network that allowed the same copy of a recording to be available to multiple people, rather than storing X-Copies of the recording on their servers.

You are a minority and/or your behavior is only possible because there are alternative/better sources for the content you’re looking for, allowing you to skip the bullshit and get the same/similar content on a different source (like HN) with a better experience.

Most of the content on FB is either exclusive to it (all your friends are on there) or the majority of their target market doesn’t know/care about finding other sources which provide that content with a better experience.
I mean, to be fair, they probably have one of the most colossal legal teams of any tech company, no?

Regardless, I think they takedown without giving the "DMCA" complaint much scrutiny because the risk of penalty for NOT taking action is greater than just taking down the repo(s) risk-free.

Github's ToS: which says "we have the right (though not the obligation) to refuse or remove any User-Generated Content that, in our sole discretion, violates any GitHub terms or policies." ( https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/site-... )

I have to say it IS strange they took down content based on a letter that doesn't prove or even really suggest copyright infringement has taken place (only that it COULD, as a result of using the software), and their own ToS says "There may be legal consequences for sending a false or frivolous takedown notice." ( https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/site-... )

Assuming the same implementation effort & skill: WASM, hands down (disclaimer: I have significant RISC-V experience and am an stout advocate, but RISC-V is a poor replacement for WASM).

ADD: a few of the reasons:

- When JITing RISC-V you cannot tell which are the last use of registers without a very expensive whole-graph analysis. Without that, you will have to generate more code than necessary.

- WASM's representation is very close to what you want in the compiler. In particular, you can directly tell all incoming control-flow edges, which makes analysis much more precise, gives optimization opportunities you would otherwise miss. Recreating this information from a binary is either impossible (due to computed branches) or expensive both in terms of analysis and the guards you have to generate to protect your assumptions.
Fair Use is presumed in the A1.S8.C8 justification for exclusive rights: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts".

Again, Not only is Fair Use presumed, but it provides the basis under which such rights should be granted.

More discussion at Cornell's LII:

Although the courts have considered and ruled upon the fair use doctrine over and over again, no real definition of the concept has ever emerged. Indeed, since the doctrine is an equitable rule of reason, no generally applicable definition is possible, and each case raising the question must be decided on its own facts. On the other hand, the courts have evolved a set of criteria which, though in no case definitive or determinative, provide some gauge for balancing the equities. These criteria have been stated in various ways, but essentially they can all be reduced to the four standards which have been adopted in section 107...

How did they find out? I can't imagine they determined this from financial records so I intuit they must have been told by the candidate's previous employer, and if revealing an ex-employee's salary isn't illegal I would have surely thought it was pretty shady / frowned upon.

Even un-savvy people can see price history and property tax history. I would guess most people are stuck where they are simply because they don't want to lose access to their friends/family, but for higher income/able to move workers, it's not difficult to see which way land prices/property tax are trending.

It’s a precompilation hit, but it requires some compilation every time. Thinking about Julia like you might think about incremental C++ builds isn’t exactly right. A somewhat useful analogy though is that Julia is kind of like C++ template code. This is why it is so flexible, but also why compilation isn’t very cacheable. This is also why it is tricky (but possible) to do ahead of time Julia builds.
It's fairly straightforward to offer some functionality in this area with hand-written recursive descent parsers.

For example, a language with a C-like syntax, you'll often be parsing a sequence of statements separated by semi-colons (a block). If a statement fails to parse, you can just consume tokens until you hit the next semi-colon and then try to continue to parse statements from there.

Fairly crude approaches like this are easy to implement (at least with recursive-descent) but can be surprisingly effective. It's easy to construct counter examples where an approach like this will get it wrong but in practice it's hugely more useful to the poor user than just abandoning the parse completely.

I didn't say anything like that, I was commenting on your commentary and not Fastly or the BA. That strawman you built up is an example of toxicity.

The pettiness is that this looks like a non-issue blown into a flamewar where the BA has every right not to accept contributions from yourself because of past actions taken by the business you founded. I thought it was fine for them to close the issue was out of scope/focus, it didn't need more attention or for you to project your own gripes onto it.

All told this thread left a very bad taste in my mouth with respect to Wasmer, while I have a lot of respect for the BA and Wasmtime teams and I'm very glad that they found a home at Fastly.

I have friends in law enforcement who use youtube-dl to save copies of videos involving crimes or criminal allegations, from quite a few different social media and video sites.

Speaking with them, it seems the associated metadata (json/xml?) and output log contain valuable information to go along with the video from an evidentiary perspective. Also the fact that youtube-dl has many test cases in the code goes towards demonstrating its reliability as an instrument for collecting evidence.

Certainly seems a better approach than installing a 'DownloadVideosEzy' extension for chrome or similar.

Maybe I'm airing some bit of dirty astro laundry here, but on my last looking at SOFIA (a decade ago?), it was not a very cost-efficient or preferred option compared to just sending a NASA SMEX (satellite) mission up with similar instruments? Is that still the case?

I.e. for the amount you spend flying the plane around, and the increase in collecting area needed compared to going all the way to space (much smaller mirror if you just go to space), we could've gotten more by sending a 30cm satellite into orbit.

Is that right? Or am I out of date?
