For those who want to know where those numbers from from.

Under the 1909 Copyright Act, it was 28 years which could be renewed for another 28 years, giving a total of 56 years. The work was first published in 1966, giving 1966 + 56 = 2022.

The Copyright Act of 1976, the term became life of the author + 50 years for non-corporate works, and 75 years after first publication for corporate works. For works from before 1976 there were still under copyright, it was sort of retroactive.

I say "sort of" because instead of simple saying those simply got the new term, keeping their original start date, it changed their renewal term from 28 years to 47 years, which gives 75 years. Works that were still in the first term would still have to renew to get that 47 year renewal term. Anyway, 1966 + 28 + 47 = 2041. (Yes, I know that is not 2040. No, I don't know why not. (Well, I know why 1966 + 28 + 47 is not 2040...)).

The 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act (which, BTW, is the only copyright term extension in the US that Disney lobbying might have actually influenced [1]) changed the term for corporate works to be 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is earlier.

1966 + 95 = 2061.

[1] There have only been two copyright term extensions in the US since Disney was founded. I haven't been able to find anything on where they stood on the 1976 Act or if they did any lobbying for it. Of course they were in favor of it--but so was nearly everyone else. It made the US system much more compatible with the rest of the world, paving the way for the US to join the Berne Convention.
What professions are you guys thinking of going into? Not sure what I want to be when I grow up and out of engineering, a Doctor? Lawyer? Accountant? Financial Advisor? Relationship building and networking seem to be the keys to generating wealth at an old age. Heck look at our pres candidates, they arent there because they are old, they are there because they had enough time (which comes with age) to form the relationships that support them to be there.
It is currently at 53% from 90k attempts. It is within the margin of error on a coin flip.
That means no, people cannot tell the difference. Maybe we aren't so different, despite the media's constant suggestion.

Every time any major corp redesigns something it's the same old drivel on here. It's very predictable and imo flat out wrong. Design is subjective and everyone thinks their opinion is the right one when the reality is there is no right or wrong.
The invoices for the particular product was a year old. But it could be the majority of that inventory was turning over every 90 days, which would mean he was selling 500k/month.

>For what it's worth, removing THAT much merchandising from shelving is a serious labor and time sink. You don't do that because you got one or two complaints about crushed boxes or off sizes.

The system is automated. A destroy order gets put in, then a warehouse employee goes and fulfils that order without knowing or caring why it was placed. Sellers can place destroy orders as well.

I can't help but find that this article resonates with me, even if in some ways it goes too far.
You described Dave Allen's 2 minute rule as immediately doing things that take under 2 minutes while determining what work needs to be done, instead of marking them as a task to be done later.

The article describes taking long and/or involved tasks and inventing an artificially limited 2 minute version of them that you can begin more easily.

That's very twisted along the way, and does not seem like Dave Allen's original idea. It seems like a conflation of two very different ideas of his that are meant to solve different problems.

I never said Dave Allen's idea was contentious. I never criticized 'Getting Things Done'. I highlighted a facet of the article that I believed people could easily misread and therefore reject as not applicable to their image of themselves.

Please read my posts without the assumption that I am criticizing Dave Allen or his work.
It looks to me like the state Supreme Court just deferred to the legislatures and assumed what they meant

It wasn’t argued on Washington or Federal constitutional free speech grounds

I think they totally could challenge in Federal Court whether the state legislature’s interest in protection outweighed the individual minor’s 1st amendment rights, punting it back to the state trial court to convict only on the harassment grounds
Down vote an honest opinion. Nice. Enjoy your echo chamber.
Once a company dominates a particular market, focusing on the user experience is bad for business.

A company develops market dominance to extract profit from more-or-less captive customers. The dominance allows the organization to abandon the UI/UX without giving the customer a similar change to abandon the company.
I wonder if you could just have a calorimeter and a block of material with similar properties to human tissue? That way you cover the EHF/THF(>30GHz) ranges as well?

I guess semiconductors are covering pretty high frequencies these days though(http://www.semiconductor-today.com/news_items/2019/may/knu_2...).
Ok, but this officer can't be THAT important to U.S. goals in Russia. Let's say they did give him migraines, ok, now what? The U.S. just sends in 5 other agents with protective headgear. It just doesn't really achieve anything.
That's the most compelling and concrete reason I have seen so far. (Granted, I haven't read every single comment here.)
On a colored titlebar, as you might find in a web browser for example, the new icons accomplish the feat of having at least one nearly invisible color no matter what color the titlebar is. And they don't have any fill to provide contrast, so the shape is lost. On my titlebars (darkish blue) the new gmail logo loses the blue and the green, so it looks like a dead worm.

The original gmail logo was awesome. Clean, recognizable, clever, easy to integrate. Everything about it was incredibly well designed. I'll miss it.
I don't like the fact that they don't offer personal desks anymore. It's a net loss.

They didn't mention office perks such as food, I presume that's going out of the window as well.

It's a rare opportunity for companies to back down on office costs and they are all to happy to take it.
I don't see how it would mean fewer SARS-CoV-2 infections. It might mean fewer infections proceed to symptoms, hospitalizations, and death. Just from your source, their CFR is around 0.8%. That's not IFR, so it's hard to really do a serious comparison, but for the heck of it Canada's CFR is ~4.4%, Sweden's is ~5.1%, the US' is ~2.5%, Germany's is 2.2%.
SpaceX pegs initial Starlink internet price at $99 per month
Theorem provers using constructive logic have the nice property that proofs are programs; if you have a proof that A implies B, and you have an A, you can produce a B. Classical mathematics is usually based on set theory plus the axiom of choice (implying law of excluded middle), which allows non-constructive proofs (which don't compute). If the computer knows "not not X" implies "X" due to the law of the excluded middle, it can't necessarily produce an "X" from an "not not X".

The most popular theorem provers (at least among computer scientists) are based on some form of Martin-Löf type theory. In these theories, some very helpful proof techniques (often used in classical mathematics) like function extensionality and quotients don't compute. While they can be added as axioms, this breaks the computational property of the proof. What HOTT brings is a type theory with an improved notion of equality in which such things do compute, based on the notion of transport along equivalences.

If have two types

Inductive nat : Set :=
| O : nat
| S : nat -> nat.

Inductive natural_number : Set :=
| Zero : natural_number
| Successor : natural_number -> natural_number.

And I have proved something about nat, HOTT allows me to automatically convert that proof into a proof about natural_number (after showing nat is isomorphic to natural_number).
Those aren’t all the new icons. The new docs icon is a four-colored hollow pentagon in the same shape as the current icon.

The only reason I can think of is that Elon Musk - in the beginning - was open to sharing EV technology to help with a sustainable future. Any other car company would probably not be interested in sharing.

Now - is self-driving in the same realm?

There might be two angles - supporting electric vehicle development and maybe safety/lives saved.

for electric vehicles it might apply - but I don't imagine tesla would share technology that could be used on fossil fuel vehicles.

for lives/safety - who knows, but it would be good PR ...if tesla still does that without a PR department :)
> And Chrome's spellcheck is miles ahead of MacOS

But Chrome is a klackety resource hog compared to Safari.

Web versions of native apps always feel clunky in comparison and they're almost always missing features, like accessibility.
>If there is no physical contact, how is what happens different than a strip club? I think prostitution requires physical contact.
I am usually among the people who are excited about changes and updates in the products I use, but this is a rare exception. Some of these new logos are really hard to tell apart. It doesn't help that I have some red-green color blindness, but that's hardly a rare condition.
This is mass hysteria.

But it's also a big deal.

If you've been a ex-pat you will have seen it before, if you look.

Mass hysteria is about the health of populations. Often about stresses that are not necessarily obvious but also obvious.

Travel and living in a foreign country is stressful. (Havana syndrome)

Working in a factory on a low wage is stressful (mass fainting)

Sex Stuff (Penises stealing)

But while you ignore the real reason and blame something else, that's not good. It's why we still hurt witches for instance. Which you will see articles on HN that are witchcraft and people still believe them and worse people don't call them out as untrue.
Anyone at Sketch reading this, don't be discouraged by the naysayers here. Stick with cold hard evidence and you can't go wrong. Is Sketch faster than Figma? Does it alt-tab faster, due to not having to swap in the entire Chromium browser? Can you scroll through complex designs faster? Does any of this translate into user conversions or retention?
One person. That's an awful lot of coordination and risk and planning to pull it off for one guy. No offense, but he can't be that important. There's tens of thousands of agents in the CIA. He still has his memory, so it's not as if there's some secrets being protected there.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with stolen / looted Egyptian artifacts residing in museums around the world.
The ultimate no-code tool is Excel. It is the beach to code ocean. It’s about lowering the threshold of results possible to the widest possible group of people. You can have extra modules and plugins and you will always see people who have never dabbled with code before snorkel down to more and more complex functionality. No code done right is a gym - you get users willing to do something, and you enable them to do whatever they are willing to work for. I was one of those users - started with Flash, then trickled into action script, then trigonometry and animation, then JS, PHP. Stereotypes and preconceptions about code are the biggest hurdle for many. All you have to do is let them play and see whose brain naturally carries the load and asks for more. So Id say no code doesn’t replace engineers, but makes more of them.

Sounds like she came up with a good reason to decline the offer under the duress of someone comparing specs as a selling point. If I did the same with my GF who just uses the web and some standard apps, she'd be like "no, why would I want that giant monolithic rgb heat generator that I can't take anywhere?". Some people buy nacs because that's what the applications run on, or it's required for school, but a hell of a lot of people just like macs.

I believe you mean Unix, as Linux didn't exist in the 80s.
Bill Binney is an American patriot and I believe not one person in the NSA would disagree. He is quite simply a legend in no such agency. Not sure what hive mind you crawled out of but please go back.
You are a little short on facts. Dr Michal Kosinski and Dr David Stillwell of Cambridge University pioneered the use of Facebook data for psychometric research with a Facebook quiz application called the MyPersonality Quiz.

Aleksandar Kogan was a lecturer at Cambridge who then built his own app based on Stilwell's and Kosinki's app and work. Aleksandar then turned around and sold his version to SCL - the parent of Cambridge Analytica. And the reason that Cambridge Analytica wanted his app was because it worked under the social network’s pre-2014 term of service which allowed app developers to harvest data not only from the people who installed the app as well those people's friends.

Stillwell also denied Kogan's request for access to to his and Kosinskis myPersonality dataset. So No the Cambridge Analytica data did not come from Cabridge University or the Psychometrics Center.

The NYU Ad Observatory's data is completely public and the intended audience of that data is journalists and researchers doing analysis of online political advertising. This is the polar opposite of clandestinely harvesting user data in order to manipulate people.

So no it's not "exactly" the same situation but rather the exact opposite.
I completely agree. I think the only difference is that we were under the assumption we would be dealing with 1. Governments 2. People
What about 3) standard of living will drop and people will have their lives ended involuntarily (ie war)?
By being one of the first to state this publicly, Reddit is basically guaranteeing strong retention and have made themselves very attractive in the job market. It's an admirable move. I'm not sure one company making this choice, when many other (larger) companies are already in the practice of adjusting at least base pay based on locale, will make much of a ripple. But we can hope.
> I always change it in windows and I think it’s as simple as a registry edit.

Simple means different things to different people. I'm fine with messing with the registry, but I know several (technically inclined) people who are not.

I find it easier to change in Linux because it's either a setting or in a config file, depending on the distro.

To each their own but I found their new redesign to be excellent and as someone who uses a fair number of their products, I've never had any issues differentiating one from another based on their icons.

For starters, each product has a distinct icon color, which in and of itself makes a huge difference in usability and the ability to quickly determine which icon to click. This is something the Google redesign fails completely on.

Secondly, every element behind the single-letter in each MS icon has distinctive elements that are related to the product. Excel actually has grid-cells to mimic worksheets in a minimalist fashion. Powerpoint has the pie-chart. One-Note has the fantastic minimalist binder with tabs in the background.

Between the unique color and graphical elements associated with each product, there is plenty that helps a user easily distinguish one from the other while they all still have a cohesive aesthetic.

I find it to be an outstanding redesign. In comparison, the Google redesign basically has almost none of the benefits above and makes it a lot harder to distinguish icons at a glance.

"Insured claims that they shipped $1.5M of merchandise to Amazon. Amazon claimed merchandise was counterfeit and destroyed merchandise after given the insured multiple attempts to retrieve merchandise which were not acted on. In the absence of any evidence that the now destroyed goods were legitimate, we are denying compensation for this claim."

He, of course, can try to sue his insurance company to pay the claim (happens all the time), but it's expensive and he's not guaranteed to win.
Makes sense. Thank you!
Is it possible to know how certain the CFR measures are? I would have guessed that the CFR depends on the test coverage and maybe other factors as well; With what degree of confidence are the CFR figures treated?

however these are all countries with not too different level of health care, so that my armchair guess would be that this is a meaningful number (would have to be corrected for different age distribution, somehow)
I think this is the only logical conclusion of the move to entirely remote working. Why would an employer pay a remote worker more than another just for living in a more expensive area?

I thought it was going to be Irving Finkel, but his speciality is Mesopotamia. He went up to college to study Ancient Egypt, but then the egyptologist died and he switched to the Ancient Middle East.
Your thinking is so primitive and biased towards failure. If you improve the tests and make things easier to understand, then it should be easier to get patient compliance. The unnecessarily opaque nature of medicine and tests are the problem. If we had a futuristic Apple Watch that gathered results somehow and then it told you when you take your medication, etc that’s a win for patients and medicine in general. Stop thinking about what we have right now and be imaginative. Naysayers are always wrong in the long run.
Those demographics are quite depressing (and perhaps revealing).

This is just one single-topic blog post on the Sketch blog. It is not a complete argument for using Sketch. It does present a complete overview of why someone would benefit from a native Mac app.

I don’t know what the bandwagon is doing, other than that I’m aware that Figma is also popular, but clearly cloud software has been contending with native for some time, each with their own advantages, and so it’s not surprising or concerning that software vendors of both software platform types would market the advantages of their chosen platform.

I’d suggest you read the article. He was in Russia to meet with Russian intelligence, presumably to discuss whatever it is that the CIA and Russian intelligence have to talk about, which the article describes as a common thing for CIA agents to do.
The information that "most people just hate change on principle" -- in fact, they typically see change as loss -- was a lesson learned from my spiffy corporate training when I worked for a Fortune 500 company and before I could even begin my entry level job, I first underwent three months of training. Among other things, this three months of training involved completing a certificate program in a single month by attending class 7.5 hours a day at a local technical college instead of going to the job site.

It was world class training. I imagine it's pretty solid information even before you take into account how well it fits with firsthand experience that most people just haaaaaaate change on principle, even if it turns out to be the right thing to do and they later decide it was for the best.
>> I use a mbp at this point because it's not Windows.

Precisely the same. I used to be a big fan of the Apple ecosystem. When Jobs said the customer doesn't know what they need, he was usually right... he of course was a gifted visionary. Apple has continued with the same mindset but without the gifted visionary, in some cases with comical decisions e.g., keyboard, touchbar, soldering SSD to logic boards with high failure rates).

Can't we just rustle up a few obscenely rich billionaires to donate a hundred million to develop an OS with a top priority of quality and usability rather than lock in.
From the cited BBC article, other measures include:

> an obligation to provide communications in accessible formats - such as braille - when requested. This must also be done by December 2021

> giving customers a stronger right to leave if changes are made to deals that they were not told about before signing. This will come into force in June 2022

> a requirement that customers be shown a clear summary of a contract's key parts before joining. This must happen by June 2022
I disagree, I bet people would assume it is something similar to Home because it has a lightbulb.
It is of course still used and supported, because of Microsoft's deep commitment to backwards compatibility, but DirectWrite has been the recommended replacement since Windows 7 (and it was backported to Vista with Platform Update).

Seconded. We work closely with a design firm for our products, them and us, we've slowly all migrated to Figma to a point where all our design assets, branding assets, mockups are on Figma. Ironically being Mac only is one of the reason Sketch is losing against Figma. There was a gap in cross-platform collaborative design tools, Figma made the move, and did so with amazing UX. Sketch was, what I'd say, lazy when Figma was at it.
