I'm not familiar with red state (I'm a maxed out dem donor BTW). I will look into Lorena a bit more though to confirm she is not labor involved. There was one other bill that had this same sort of ham fisted approach which turned out to be heavily union influenced, which is why I wondered about AB5 (ie, even highly liberal orgs struggle to operate within this bill FYI because even if you want to do right many things are just not possible with it).
I am unclear on how trademark interacts with copyright on this. Unlike copyright, trademarks really were intended to be infinite: they expire only when people stop using them (and paying the relevant fees).

So even if Steamboat Willie were to become public domain, would trademark limit the derivative works that could be made? The movie might be public, but the main character isn't. Can you tell me how that would work?
To be fair, music streaming is still pretty decent. Spotify has almost everything, and it's just a few major artists that hold out for a 'Tidal exclusive' or whatever. But generally I think that however much upfront revenue the service provides is probably to the detriment to the bigger picture of 'let people listen'. But for £10 a month, the reality is it's pretty phenomenal, especially for someone that (previously) bought a lot of records. I hope this doesn't fracture, or we'll be back to MP3s and Napster.

But yeah, TV and movie streaming is a shambles. Exclusive licensing is terrible - they should move to the same model as the music, licence to everyone and let us all pick the service we prefer. But I don't think it's ever going to happen.

Business idea: Distrokid but for SVOD...
I grew up in an environment where if somebody spoke to you like that you punched them in the face. I'm not advocating you do this but I think my background made me tough. So I haven't been afraid to confront the geek bullies down through the years. They tend not to have the strength of character to handle a direct confrontation i.e. a verbal challenge with silent pauses and direct eye contact. They will give you some verbal but they will probably back off. A more difficult situation is when your boss tells you to fuck off. I've been there. That one you suck up and quietly make your exit strategy.

Push back a bit with your colleague. It wouldn't surprise me if they are on medication or dealing with their own demons.

Try not to cry. I have seen it in the workplace and it tends not to play out well for the person who cries.

Finally, life is generally not either or...push back and look for a new job...see where it takes you.

(just to reiterate, I don't condone violence. My Irish upbringing was my brother getting beat up, I beat up who beat him up and my Dad waiting in the background in his vest if it escalated...my Dad was ahead of his day, pre Bruce Willis :-) I think however we have gotten so politically correct these days a lot of nonsense goes unchecked...a fight always starts with a face off, we probably still need that bit)
I totally agree it's the biggest leap I've ever seen in a computer, I just thought everything would be getting better at the same rate for years. The only thing that happened was that PC CPU's got so fast you could have real time 3D graphics at a given point but things would not get dramatically better in terms of colors, resolution or sound anymore.

Especially given the fact most people came from an Apple II, bleep bloop 4 generous colors PC or Commodore 64 the difference was just day and night. Only Mac users had a similarly large improvement but it was still black and white and silent.
> So I wouldn’t say we are losing our ability to remember, as I posed at the start of this post. I think people (me included) just don’t do enough work to move stuff from our working memory into our long-term memory.

I'd say we could be better at remembering that some piece of information exists and where to find it instead of having to memorize it. This seems more powerful.

And for things you do often, you will probably memorize it anyway.

Lack of focus leading to not remembering the content of a meeting is problematic though. I don't have this issue fortunately.

I'm in the same boat. I'm one of the first to pitchfork against Amazon... but this feels like we're not getting enough info to have a fair opinion. But even the article makes it seem like the guy had lots of opportunities to fix this issue, but screwed it up. Now, did he bumble it because it's a bureaucratic nightmare maze? Is he lazy and doesn't do stuff on time or correctly? Was it all actually knock-offs and he's full of shit?

I can tell you this, no one from HN can solve this mystery from their chairs. So, as much as I don't like any FAANG, this isn't clear cut against Amazon.

> Are you actually a programmer?

Why, yes I am.

> You sound more like an academic with no real life experience on large software.

Well, I do work as a software engineer for a FANG, so that does fit the bill I guess.

> You do realize that within those "neatly separated layers of yours" there will be an insane amount of complexity which will be impossible to separate in layers?

Well, there really isn't you know?

I mean, unless you don't know what you're doing.

In my line of work, the hardest problem is to reign in complexity. It's very easy to mess up and end up with insane amount of complexity, specially if you don't have a clue about what you're doing.

In fact, as the saying goes, incompetent developers make complex things, while competent developers make simple things.

It seems you make a living struggling with complex things that ends up piling on a lot of complexity. Perhaps you would do yourself a favor by improving your skillset and learn how not to follow that path.
I am experiment the same problem. As a software developer, I spend all my day on computer and mobile phone. Recently, I have a the feeling that it take me a while to recall the name of a friend. Or even searching for a solution. It could be the side effect of all of the autocomplete and search result which are accessible within my palm.
That chart doesn't show you the result latency, only the maximum achievable frequency. You have to use Vivado to instantiate an instance with the specific suite of configurable options. When you do that, it will inform you of the result latency: 27-30 cycles for FMA.

I have significant doubts about the launch rate of ULA allowing them to get this working in time. I suspect SpaceX will continue to eat their market share, and when Blue Origin comes along, ULA won't have any whatsoever. Richard Shelby isn't getting younger.

I'm talking about the types that value ass in seat over output. Of course good managers are still needed :)
True but slippery slope and all. We need some basic ability lest we devolve control to things not us. We should still be able to get by without technology in emergency situations (natural events causing power outages, etc). We should not be rendered helpless.
For those not familiar with autogyros, this xkcd was a major factor in me choosing to learn to fly one:

https://xkcd.com/1972/

It's not 100% accurate though:
"Can land vertically" isn't true unless there's a lot of wind (although you can almost always land with very little ground roll). "Cannot hover" is less true. In my aircraft you need 35mph of airspeed to maintain height (when relatively fully loaded). You often have 35 mph of wind at altitude, so a ground relative hover is often possible.
"Can often be flown without a licence" doesn't apply in the UK.
I wonder why there are no specialised, vertical search engines? One for developers, another for local stuff, yet another for products. Some sites are strong enough to work as such - SO for devs, Yelp for local, Amazon for products - but that only leads to problems in a long term.
What's the reason for no release/ETA?
> the government doesn't get to tell free men what they may or may not do because someone else committed a crime

What world you live in?! In the one I know, the government absolutely does tell and has told people what they may or may not do with all sorts of things, including with financial instruments.

> You're arguing that it harms too many people, but I really don't care; it could have harmed ten thousand times the number of people and that wouldn't matter.

Wow!

Generally people at least pretend to care about other people and get a little concerned when it looks like their ideologies might burn the world to the ground, but I suppose it's quite... admirable(?) that you're absolutely brutally honest that you don't care about others...
Frankly, if you really thought a single article could deliver a "grand unified theory" of anything, that's on you.

Presumably it has actually flown at least once in a test flight, under a specific licence for that flight. Otherwise yes, it's vapourware.
This is a better answer than mine. I had missed that detail too. David Walsh Blog is still a publication name separate from David Walsh though.

There is a Philip K. Dick short story where practically everyone does. I don't remember its name. The topic of therapy commonly came up in his short stories and novels.
That userbase level is about when you start getting early - usually non-serious - threats and your privacy as a founder starts to erode. Anybody that builds something successful on the Internet will have to disregard the early threats and push forward (or fold up the tent and go home).

When you have 50k or 100k users and you start removing a few dozen abusive users per day, the odds are some of them will be actual lunatics, and some percentage of those will flip their lids and start targeting you with abuse in a surprisingly obsessive way (because they're actually mentally ill). If you can hide behind a faceless corporation with lots of venture capital, that makes it a lot easier as a founder, as the corporate nameplate and lawyers can perform shield duty. If you're a solo founder or equivalent, you take the full exposed hit.
I would prefer to use this sort of things for longer term but non-core functions (e.g. back office).

I agree with OP that it's a weird use case, as a focus on short-term MVP may limit user retention if you actually succeed (or is the idea that people will accidentally start to use it long term?).
Apple already has search built into Spotlight and Siri. It just isn’t attacking the same search problems as Google. It is possible that Apple is building all of this to make Siri smarter. Right now Google has a strategic advantage with “ok Google” vs “hey Siri”. Improving Apple’s knowledge of the web could simply be a move to improve their existing products. They might not have any interest in competing with Google on searching the web and displaying results and ads.

You are describing politics (in other words, status seeking). It happens everywhere, even at IC level, but I agree most of it happens in management.

Yet, politics is not the same thing as managing.
tldr - the main key is that the blog was still sending "do not cache" headers, and cloudflare was respecting that, so no caching was actually happening.
Yes, it's not the same in the specific qualifier that I explicitly mentioned. Digital cash. Don't be dense.
I'm not sure why you think this is so.

iCloud, Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Maps, for instance, are all accessible from the web.
That's what Netflix has been forced to become. It started out, however, as an extremely convenient movie library with basically anything you'd ever want to watch that cost substantially less than the ticket price of even a single movie per month. It was exactly what many people were looking for, and they flocked to it, but its success led to many content licensers ending their contracts in the hopes of offering their own streaming services for which they would get a bigger cut.
The Mythical "Ethos". Most countries on Planet earth would kill to have something like silicon valley. Yes the surrounding prices are insane for housing etc, but thats a market issue, and a lack of innovation in the economics of the place issue, not an innovation in silicon valley issue.
In fact it disagrees twice: I used to run Windows in a VM with GPU passthrough, performance was excellent, but I still couldn't play Escape from Tarkov as its anti-cheat allegedly started kicking or even banning users running the game in a VM.

There are workarounds to hide the fact that you're running a VM from the guest, but it's not worth the effort and in fact the more workarounds you apply, the higher the chance of getting banned if you trip their detection code.

Other than dumb anticheat software, gaming on a Windows VM is feasible, if not expensive, when Proton doesn't work.
My comment was somewhat flippant and I genuinely don't want to distract from this terrible situation for all the victims, but seriously, this type of criminal activity has been enabled by cryptocurrency, and the journalist who uses 'cash' and 'bitcoin' interchangeably the way that the BBC has done in this article should be ashamed of themselves.

Cash may well be 'irreversible' in the same way as bitcoin, but how exactly would these criminals physically receive cash from all of the victims? How else would they be able to demand and receive these vast payments anonymously?

edit: I'd prefer to get counter-arguments for genuine questions instead of downvotes.

I was very proud back in the day when one of our shared hosting clients got Slashdotted and other than warming the room a bit extra our infrastructure never wavered. The secret at the time - in my opinion - was that we had the database running on a second Dell PowerEdge Server in the the quarter rack instead of all on the same machine. These were PIII 677 Mhz days before multicore.
How do I approach job searches?

The short answer is - I don't.

I accept that I have varied experience in many technologies, which makes me less attractive than the single stack experts. I hate my job, but I don't really have any options to leave since my true expertise was built in FileNet and Neoxam. I'm also quite limited since my wife refuses to relocate.
> What's the point of using a TPM to decrypt your disk automatically?

It's moving the slider towards the "ease of use" end of the "security - ease of use" spectrum. It essentially outsources security to the Windows OS logon, at which point a whole bunch has started up in the background and the attack surface has substantially increased.

But it saves having to type in a second password.

So I don't speak Finnish, but to commit extortion in Finland you probably need to right?

Would this mean that the hackers are probably Finnish?

And if that's the case, seeing how massive this is for the country. Wouldn't this type of action just be crazy risky for them?

Good luck to the cops, I hope they get the bad guys and there's consequences.
I think we are talking cross purposes here. Training for running races, even long distances, involves some long running, lots of medium runs, and a good amount of intense work. Human physiology is complex and to get the most out of it, you have to train it all. If all you do is long runs, you will get nowhere near your potential. Marathon runners will regularly run 400m repeats on the track - speedwork helps in so many ways!

Great article. Whenever you dive into internationalization things are far more complicated than you would expect (as is with almost every subject). The article does not mention that Arabic (and similar scripts) use kashida for text justification, which is a means of stretching certain characters/glyphs in the text, instead of 'stretching' white space. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashida
Starting at midnight on Sunday, four areas in Shufu were identified as high-risk areas for the virus' spread, and risk levels in other townships or villages in Shufu were upgraded to medium, according to the local disease control command center.

Kashgar launched a mass testing program covering its entire 4.75 million population following the detection of a 17-year-old girl in Shufu county who tested positive for the virus on Saturday during a routine check. The girl has shown no symptoms.

As of 4 pm on Monday, about 4.47 million samples had been collected and over 2.13 million test results returned, Wang said. All positive test results were traced to residents in Shufu where the first case was registered, and results from other areas in Kashgar were negative, he added.

That's because music streaming services are rarely (never?) also music producers and exclusivity agreements are rare (though not unheard of - see Garth Brooks). If the goal is consumer choice, it seems like a bad idea to allow streaming services have vertical integration with content production.

During the pandemic, spending more time at home and less time having real social interactions has lead me to beleive I am forgetting some of my vocabulary or at the least not practicing it enough to keep it in what you describe as "Working memory".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation

Cultural appropriation doesn't mean appropriating things from another culture. It's an actual term with a specific meaning.

It means specifically misrepresenting a cultural practice in order to make another culture look inferior. E.g. if you take something that isn't actually anything like what the Egyptians ate and tell everyone how terrible it is, then that would be cultural appropriation. Making bread the way the Egyptians made it would not be cultural appropriation, nor would selling it.
"Did the workers own the means of production ? Did the NSDAP even remotely move in that direction?"

The arguments in the video address everything you bring up, here. It would be lovely to have you refute those very specific arguments. My precis won't argue nearly as well:

"Did the workers own the means of production ?"

Nazis seized businesses, positions and property from Jews and absolutely handed them over to Germans, which is the Nazi analog of seizing the means of production

"destroyed unions..."

Destroyed communist labor unions in favor of Nazi labor unions, youth groups, etc

"The NSDAP worked closely with industrialists..."

I would imagine if you were one of those industrialists, and you didn't work closely with the Nazis, you would swiftly find your industry "nationalized"

"I didn't watch the video because i don't want this type of nonsense in my viewing history"

... the fellow is decidedly anti-socialist, and if you're pro-socialist I can imagine you would find it upsetting. But, given that you know socialism intimately, you are the only one who can refute those ideas! It would be nice to know where he goes off the rails
You are thinking in Quantum Mechanics? Or scientists do, as opposed to normal people? Because scientists are somehow "superhuman"?

"how much evidence there is in the "there is no climate change" side?"

Why are you bringing up "there is no climate change"? Nobody made such a claim. But even if there is climate change, not every article has to be taken at face value, and not every theory on how it comes about has to be automatically considered true.
ULA has lots of integration with military and it will take many years before ULA will not be at least the second military launcher.

I have to add to this that I gave cgroupsv2 an honest chance, still use it on workstations. But on my homelab server I reverted back to cgroupsv1 because 1) Ansible does not yet support podman and 2) podman-compose does not fully support compose. It also confuses compose files with its native pod concept which makes things even more convoluted.
