Oh! I thought bounded loops meant every loop has to have a bound (hence while (true) wouldn't work). If it can handle more complicated situations then that answers my question. The second example is identical to a do-while loop though, so it's not clear to me if it can actually handle more complicated situations that don't directly map to for/while/do-while loops.

For example, can it handle something like the following, where there's no bound, but the loop necessarily always terminates? (I assumed this loop would be called "unbounded", but maybe I'm confused by the terminology?)

int test(unsigned i, unsigned j) {
while (true) {
i ^= j; j ^= i; i ^= j;
if (i <= j) { return 0; }
i ^= j; j ^= i; i ^= j;
if (j <= i) { return 1; }
i ^= j; j ^= i; i ^= j;
}
return 2;
}
If I understand the verdict correctly it says that it doesn't matter that the visual idea was trivial and that many other people have come up with the same idea independently. What matters is that this particular photographer deliberately wanted to copy a known image.

A very good example of "color", since the exact same photograph (same bits) would be non-infringing if the photographer had got the idea independently.
For those who this does not work..

Try tapping your forehead with forefinger while counting up to the time you want to wake up just before you close your eyes to go to sleep..

eg to wake at 6am...

tap six times while saying "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6"

Repeat 2 times, (3 times in total)
To people, I agree. But we're talking mailing lists here, where plaintext is preferred.
With all other things equal, the coffee maker you use seems to make a big difference for drip coffee. Variables I can think of would include flow rate (both on the grounds and into the jug), temperature of water when it drops on the grounds, and temperature of the hot plate under the jug.

The best coffee maker I had was 20€ no-brand from grocery store corner shelf. One of the worst offenders IMHO is the popular design icon Moccamaster.
> intellectual property is a form of property that includes intangible things

What we call "intellectual property" is not "property" at all - it's simply a government-enforced monopoly on use of certain ideas (in case of patents) or their expressions (for copyright and trademarks).
This is not a binary thing.

It is not "the government is corrupt, therefore all is pointless". Instead, there are scenarios such as:

- the government is comprised of people, running different departments
- those people seem to think they are doing things for the common good
- courts determine otherwise, and point to laws passed by legislative bodies as validation
- activity stops

"Spy agencies", and "policing agencies" are constantly under these checks and balances. Cases are thrown out, individual careers are axed, when warrants are not used when they should, for example, when searching homes.

Without the laws, and court cases as they are, then the police would simply enter without those warrants, get convictions, and carry on very happy with themselves.

The real problem here is that technology grows so very fast, and that the world is changing quite rapidly. Don't even get me started on bio-tech, or near-Earth space changes over the next decade. Or Interplanetary law!

Legislative bodies, and law, are literally meant to deal with things over the course of decades or more. Legislative bodies tend to sit for 4 years or more! Change is slower, and of course, we like slower change for many things.

But this means that laws much 'catch up' to faster moving change.

Hell just crafting a law, going through the committees, hearing from experts, at least in Canada, then crafting the law, reading it in both houses, and more experts can take more than a year or two.

And that's after the will is in place to enact change.

This is part of the reason I deem the executive branch as having value, but, that is another discussion.

All said, I fear governments with this power most, and private corps next. One law takes care of both of these scenarios.

Lastly?

Never ignore the interest in something. Any old horse trader will tell you, if everyone clamours for something, it has immense value!

Knowing if I farted last week on Tuesday, is of immense information to everyone. Wha? Yet it is! And if it is of such value, if everyone climbs over each other to get that data, to hold it exclusively, to sell it, trade it, there is likely some import to such things.

If this info is so insanely valuable, then shouldn't the creator control it? Control what happens to it?

We have copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and even things like labour laws, acts to protect safety!

The entire purpose of law, is to protect "my stuff" from "that other guy". My life. My belongings. My health.

Yet this? This is all just "OK"?

The current laws surrounding data, are like period of times before labour laws, before human rights legislation, before food safety acts, and on and on.

This period of time is ending. Legislative bodies are catching up.

The question is, what will happen during the transformative period, where law catches up, and passes more and more laws about personal privacy, and control over personal data?
It mostly concerns how often content is updated.

Yes, I mean I can certainly vaguely visualize past moments in some 50/50 abstract/visual form I guess, but movie like... I'm unsure what they mean to be honest... and I'm sure that would be hard to explain as well. I guess I can see these "movies" mentally in the same way as how I vaguely remember the sequence of events in a recent dream. Unsure if I'd call that a movie though. Sounds like a pretty crappy one at that!
Hehe, you're not wrong on the lightness but I have to say I did enjoy the change of style and pace. Artwork was a nice touch as well.
Your link literally says nothing solid, and the video link is just a scatterplot of pulsating stuff. No offence but what actual scientific justification is there of this idea?

(BTW I'm not qualified to judge, kust feedback. I hope if the idea's solid that you get backing).
Not true. Many types of cancer can be spotted early on, if you pay attention to your body and know where to look at.

One wants to proactively stop outsiders from joining their community. The other stops outsiders from joining their community using bigotry? Can you see why I'm confused?
Well, yes, that's pretty much exactly the viewpoint I'm espousing here. :-) That is, that ideas cannot be owned and I disagree with the artificial scarcity created by governments.
Or you could consider that whilst this global pandemic hasn't been particularly lethal or existence-threatening, the next one might be. And having off-site backup for humanity is wise in that context.

Here in Germany such facilities will cost around 1500-3000 EUR per month. This is still way more money then most people can stem, so they pay this typically with a combination of

* pension and social security (nursing case security)
* income of the children
* sale of real estate and other property of the invalid person

Yes, nursing facilities are damned expansive. But 10,000 USD/month, that's something almost nobody would be able to pay here.
I like Vega-Lite and I used it in various small projects over the past few years. It's really easy to work with.

That said, I hit performance issues very quickly, when trying to do interactive data visualization - and by interactive, I mean changing the data, not chart styling. That may be because every time data changes, I have to repackage it into Vega-Lite JSON description and rerender the chart. I wonder if there's a better way of doing it? A partial update? I couldn't find anything in the docs last time I tried.

Related: what would be the best alternative in JS, short of writing my own d3/canvas code, for cases where I have a structurally fixed (but possibly complex) chart, but I need to hit it with 100k or 1M data points and have it redraw under 100ms?
> the pie will be sliced and eaten anyways.

The difference is how long it takes and how much resources. There is no perfect security. Security is not a "yes/no" thing.
> Surely you own money?

No you don't, just like you can't own a kilogram or a mile. Money is the government-approved measurement unit for value.
This is a great analogy. The teachers in school are not there to teach you the most detailed model of the world, they are mostly there to make you exercise your model critiquing ability on some toy models that are simple to deal with. Your math teacher might draw a blank when you tell him he taught you an inconsistent notion of limits in calculus, and your physics teacher will certainly admit that there are holes in the high school version of gravity.

But the point wasn't to tell you the exact version of what we know, it was to make you think about how models work.

This isn't a Facebook problem as such. It's just sensationalistic journalism. Just that Facebook as a platform helps amplfiy it. Just my 2 cents.

And what is that incentive? Permissive licenses. Remove all MIT licenses and replace them with copyleft ones and you will see drastic increase on Copyleft usage.

Opposing copyleft because corporations is harmful for everybody. I understand why corporations choose non-copyleft and that exact reasons is why copyleft is so important.

It would have been much better if they responded to the factual claims Greenwald laid out in the article they refused to publish. I read that article, and his argument for why the Biden emails pass at least the plausibility bar sound reasonable.

BTW, the DKIM signature on at least one of the emails has been verified:

https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/hunter-dkim

EDIT: OK, rather than downvoting, which isn't going to change my mind, why don't you help address his points? If you change my mind, I'll go try to change other people's minds.

"The Hunter Biden documents have at least as much verification as those other archives [the Panama Papers, Wikileaks war logs, Podesta / DNC emails from 2016] that were widely reported. There are sources in the email chains who have verified that the published emails are accurate. The archive contains private photos and videos of Hunter whose authenticity is not in doubt. A former business partner of Hunter has stated, unequivocally and on the record, that not only are the emails authentic but they describe events accurately, including proposed participation by the former Vice President in at least one deal Hunter and Jim Biden were pursuing in China. And, most importantly of all, neither Hunter Biden nor the Biden campaign has even suggested, let alone claimed, that a single email or text is fake."

Add to that that at least one email has had its DKIM signature verified (see the link above).

I hate Trump and think a second term would be an unmitigated disaster for our democracy. Even if the worst of the allegations or insinuations were true I think Biden would be better for our country than Trump. If I were an editor of a newspaper, I'd certainly think twice before publishing something like this, even if I thought they were accurate.

But I would never throw shade on a fellow journalist for writing something like this. And as a voter, if I'm going to choose the lesser of two evils, I want to know just how evil the lesser one is.
Well they did remove the charger to help the environment and indirectly help society...
It took a huge flood to mobilize the political will to spend a fuckton of money on flood prevention.*

I feel like the problem with climate change is that by the time the effects get so bad that everyone will be on board to actually put a significant amount of resources into prevention and mitigation, it will be too late to do anything, because there is a time lag between ceasing emissions and the climate stabilizing. Additionally, all the greenhouse gasses you have already emitted are still in the atmosphere so just stopping emissions will only stop the heating up (if we are lucky) and not automatically result in the climate returning to "normal".

I'm working on a system that transform data from Long/Lat/Alt (WGS84) to a local tangent plane (LTP) East/North/Up coordinate system. To go from WGS84 to LTP, the coordinates first need to be transformed to Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed (ECEF) coordinates and then translated and rotated.

I was quite surprised to find that while it is straightforward to go from WGS84 to ECEF with a closed form, the other way, from ECEF to WGS84, needs to be computed iteratively [1] and is not trivial to find.

True. However, I'm delineating here between the disapproval of the use of copyleft as a mechanism and your personal (and practical) preference to use something else that suits your needs better.

In essence, I think copyleft has its place and its existence is not in opposition with the notion that ideas cannot be owned, but I do see how it doesn't play out well for you practically.

Let say the enforcement team had a discussion with everyone involved and got all accounts of what happened. What would the purpose and motive be? To collect evidence, to determine if a person is guilty or not, and to measure out punishment if guilty.

The goal of conflict resolution is not about determining who is guilty and measuring out punishment, but rather to deescalate situation and fixing problems before there is a need for someone to be punished. The best moderation are those that are not seen because intervention occurred early and without escalating something small into something big.

The primary evidence for this exist in the names and words used in the CoC. A Enforcement Team is distinctly different than a Conflict Resolution team. A group full of mediators is different from a group full of enforcers. Enforcement is a different word from moderation.

If a CoC were focused on conflict resolution and had teams full of mediators, and where enforcement only came afterward when the mediators has failed and there exist documented proof of failed deescalation, only then would we have a situation where a CoC and a guideline would be much more similar in purpose, method and result. In which case the CoC enforcement would likely be called under a different name.
Regulators would like a word with you. Also, in theory it sounds nice, but reality is always more nuanced.

I think

> Product teams that opt-out or don’t have their application ready for SRE run on their own. They have full access to the resources they need. The interface with the SRE team is minimal in these cases.

and

> Custom features lose the SRE team support.

is something that sounds great in a small team, but I do not think it would scale. It lends itself to the platform just being a loosely coupled collective of independent fiefdoms of Not Invented Heres, which then means each product team needs its own SRE specialists that can then constantly engage in infighting, which IMHO would lead to the reliability as the system as a whole go down rather than up.

Personally, I think there is much value in a "platform" where infrastructure (compute, storage, queues, monitoring, alerting, auditing, etc) are provided in a centralised fashion, owned and operated by platform teams which provides self-service touchpoints for the service teams but not provide full independence to run their own thing
Well, could be a different thing altogether. This was probably done in Ramadan (the no-drinking thing, and the researches from Turkey as I saw in a different comment). So there would also be no smoking allowed for 14h per day. Maybe this has an effect.

Very interesting analysis. If you filter by "Use Apple Google Exposure API" you should get only the official apps (one per country). Those look a lot better than the unofficial apps.

Tbh I still think Netflix is a very good deal. For $14/month you get access to a huge selection of movies and TV shows that you can watch with no commercials. Where I'm from a ticket to the cinema costs about that much (excluding popcorn) and will plough you with 10 minutes of commercials and movie trailers for the privilege.

People will happily pay $30 per person for dinner in a restaurant multiple times a month, but are reluctant to pay $14/month for access to a huge library of endless entertainment. Why?
Yes. It is the most difficult thing.

There are no Hollywood movies about this, for a reason.

While interesting the niche for Smash seems to be small.

You'd have to have a system that's big enough to have some RAM where to decompress in the first place. So forget those ultra small 256 bytes or less RAM systems.

Mid-sized systems (say 16 kB+ RAM), I think you'd still mostly run directly from ROM. Any RAM is probably needed for other use.

Larger systems with ARM M0 core (or better) and 64 kB+ RAM have a ton of CPU power and typically plenty of other resources as well.

Perhaps there are people who need to deal with mask ROMs, but do those need to be that small either in 2020? Or penny pincher cases where you just can't have an extra I2C EEPROM / flash chip and your target uC doesn't have enough flash storage.

Maybe I'm missing something.

In any case, LZ-family compressors (like LZ4) have served me well so far.

Edit: That LZSA mentioned in other comment(s) looks cool. Regardless, a small niche of applications where you'd need this in the first place.

That's not true. Time is scarce. Good ideas are scarce (maybe because intelligence is scarce too). Beauty is scarce. Quality of life is scarce. Perfection is terribly scarce...
