I think the law made it really easy for Google to make that case. I don't think the RIAA has legal standing here under DMCA.

Google isn't making that case because Youtube is YOUtube. The whole point is that it's a platform for family videos, amateurs, and all sorts of other things.

If the RIAA didn't want their content Youtube-dl'able, they should have used one of their locked-down platforms. They went to Youtube because the locked-down corporate platforms don't have the eyeballs. Now, they're trying to convert Youtube into one of those platforms.

My expectation is the RIAA will prevail, but because of deeper pockets and the potential for a multi-million dollar legal battle, not because they're on solid legal ground.
I work with a very international team and multiple people have accents too thick to understand. I've found that Teams and Google Meet understand them better than I do. The captioning is a godsend.
Actually as I understand it (and a couple of minutes Googling doesn't back up my case) the "lite" on the end is pronounced "ite" and refers more to SQL as a geology like term. In other words, the SQL is a rock.

I'm happy to report the few I found to them.

To whoever downvoted me: I wasn't suggesting that I would not report the ones I already know without pay, but rather that if I was funded, I would be able to carve out time to write code to find non-compliant intersections on a mass scale.
> now you're bringing up how low the tax revenue is, which is of dubious relevance.

Sorry, I misunderstood "apportionment by use" as meaning "division of payment by users, according to usage". That's what I get for not reading the original comment thoroughly, which suggested a flat per-user fee, distributed to content owners :-P. However, I think libraries still fit the bill.

> that producers be paid by how popular their content is

Libraries tend to buy more copies of popular content to reduce waiting time for patrons. So this does happen.

> nor does a single library's physical DVD rental satisfy the entire internet market

Libraries don't have to do only physical DVDs. They already loan e-books, there's no reason (other than the availability of licensing) they couldn't do the same for movies and TV shows. And a library can certainly satisfy the demand in its city.

Just chiming in to say, Andres above can answer this far more in detail than I can. I suspect most people that do hit this today 1. have not nearly as a bad pain from it and 2. recover in generally much more quickly than previously. Today vs. say Postgres 9.6 is a huge difference.

Is it really minimal, or is it an attempt at minimal?
There is an exception in the DMCA for abandonware [1] [2], and anything DMCAd (legitimately) will be darked (remove from public availability, but still stored) until abandonware again.

This seems more fair than having to obtain specific clearance for every work that may fall under copyright (Project Gutenberg has had to tolerate doing this for decades [3]).

> You can be against something without violating it.

Off topic: Civil disobedience is non violently disobeying unjust laws. Copyright law has become too draconian and infringes on the public good, therefore some don’t respect it. This doesn’t mean content creators shouldn’t get paid.

IFTTT failed to innovate and having a useless product they started to charge once of a sudden. Zapier, almost way more powerful and way more expensive, is another example of a missed opportunity.
I feel like the number one reason to use XML is the mixed content. This is also why XML and derived formats (the xml-y parts of HTML) are so good as markup languages.

So this:

p {
"mixed"
img href="test.png"
"content"
}

is worse than:

<p>mixed<img href="test" />content</p>

... at least as markup, since having to wrap all text in quotes is tedious.

The other language I know of that provides "natural" mixed content is scribble [1], but I think the only implementation that I know of is the racket one, since it is so tied to racket semantics.

If you take mixed content away from XML, then you may as well use one of the myriad of existing IDL languages, no?

I think the hardest part of hardware is that its development is essentially an optimization problem - find the cheapest way a factory can make a widget with the features you're trying to sell.

The hard part of this problem is that there's an immense amount of information asymmetry between factories, designers, and marketers.

This will get better with factory automation. Right now you can upload CAD files to get a quote. The issue for designers is you want the quote to tell you why something is expensive (eg, a feature requires three tools for machining a part instead of one, or it's slightly too large/small for a process that is way cheaper, etc). Normally you work through this with engineers, designers, and factory staff iterating together on designs before tooling. That process is expensive and time consuming - it's a very human problem that can and will be automated soon.

I don't see "hardware as a service" coming into vogue for markets that are a race to the bottom (except if the service is sold to advertisers, like with Rokus). I see the service being manufacturing the hardware itself. It's already turning that direction.

Maintaining the Success of Envoy [audio]
I have this problem with Bose SoundSport headphones and FaceTime Audio. The ring and answer tones are often painfully loud. Over three years and several firmware updates, it's still not fixed.

I think Bose has become unable to focus on user experience. This is shown by: 1) their decision to remove physical buttons, 2) ignoring counterfeit products sold on Amazon, and 3) failing to make their $350 bluetooth headphones pause music when you take them off.

>> So about 2x better than human performance?

If you really want the comparison to be on an even footing, you should consider only the crashes that happen during miles driven by humans in Phoenix. Not all over the US.

In Phoenix only- because Waymo would have many more crashes outside Phoenix (e.g. New York or LA, from what I'm told of the traffic conditions there) and because so would humans.
Because I don’t think infinite amounts of information, and uncomputable numbers, exist. They are fantasies, and relatively recent ones at that. Unfortunately those fantasies came to dominate 20th century mathematics, and in the guise of string theory obtained a death grip on fundamental physics. Fortunately a new generation of smart people, with intuitions honed on computers, is well placed to capitalize on this arbitrage opportunity.
Thank you for mentioning this. Your first sentence is true, but only for the current JIT-compiled option. Even in this case, Blazor is still functionally (i.e., excluding performance aspect) comparable with Rust WebAssembly option (and any other WASM-targeted language options, for that matter). Assuming that relevant AOT challenges would be solved as planned, it would make Blazor an option fully (i.e., including performance-wise) comparable with Rust WebAssembly.

I could, though I really don't have time to drive around on street view and keep doing this. I found these violations within a few minutes, I'm sure I could spend hours and map out several hundred such intersections.

Rather, I would be more interested in mapping out all the violations on a mass scale using neural nets, though I'd want my time funded to do something like that, considering it takes away time I could use to do other things.

I see a lot of people calling censorship a "left" thing and I really don't see it. Like, all the "protect the children" anti-encryption laws for example are being pushed by "the right" / "conservatives". We see a lot of "left-wing" "censorship" in tech because most of the companies have younger, more liberal CEOs. At the same time, information is entirely controlled by mainly conservatives in government and traditional media.

Doing the math: the "side" that holds power in a certain sector is the one wanting to control information. The best conclusion from that has to be "those in power want to control information to keep themselves in power", which makes a lot more sense than trying to attribute something as simple as "controlling information" to any particular political leaning.
Personally I find the idea of asking a friend to post a self-promotional link without disclosing the affiliation, because I'm too "humble" to post it... quite the opposite of humble.
Features I miss in PostgreSQL:

- Support large number of connections (without external pooling tools) and stop starting a new process per connection (consumes huge amount of resources). Other DBMS works with threads instead of processes and don't have any issues.

- Easy to configure high availability with multiple nodes

Less important:

- Graph capabilities directly in PostgreSQL without extentions or something else

- Running a scheduling tasks directly in PostgreSQL without external tools (for example a script that removes old data from database).

- Supporting Temporal Tables

But overall I like PostgreSQL more than Oracle or SQL Server, even if I miss the above features.
I think it's pretty unlikely. More likely that he's simply trying to salvage his brand.
I'd be curious, how do you handle associating rpc responses from the server with the request call site? Some sort of id?
Popular sentiment can be summed up as "I want something done about global warming as long as it costs me almost nothing":

"But the AP survey also showed that Americans don’t want to pay very much to fight climate change. A $1 per month fee was favored by 57 percent of those surveyed. However, if the monthly charge increased to $10 a month, just 28 percent would be supportive, while 68 percent would be opposed."

If you're talking about any sort of climate regulation that costs the average tax payer more than a few dollars a month, it isn't a handful of ideologues that are stopping you, it's the electorate.

This is a side of me I would like more people to see. The whole person. So I submitted the article. I grew up in the South and don't live in the Valley. It required a bit of humility to even share this side of me, it's very personal, and in someways, not very flattering, but I wish I knew that successful people also come from very average backgrounds.
This still isn't quite right. In the coordinate system of an observer at a constant distance from the horizon, the path of a free-falling object takes an infinite amount of coordinate time.

In this coordinate system, the time coordinate becomes space-like passed the event horizon and the radial coordinate becomes timelike. There is a coordinate singularity around this switch, which is where the infinite coordinate time comes from.

An observer fammiliar with relativity could compute the proper time of a path traversing the event horizon, which they would find to be finite.

> unlike businesses where labor time is expensive, many consumers don't think of their free time as particularly valuable.

On a tangent, I think it's important to understand "why" is that. Not because most people are stupid, or they don't know the concept of opportunity costs, as popular explanations go. It's because for most individuals, time is illiquid. You can't just turn every 10 minutes you save on some chore into 1/6 of your hourly rate. So, for most people, that $2/month is a pure loss, even if it saves more than 10 minutes a month, so it needs to be (or at least feel) truly worth it.
They are pushing... and succeeding; most of the DMCA issues are actually due to trade agreements and treaties and all signing counties (which are most of them) have to have similar laws.

Your anti-US hysteria is showing.

> However, there is no big daddy to enforce any agreement. Anyone trying to be a big daddy and force other countries to submission will only lead to another world war

Economic sanctions work just fine when you have an actual "rogue country" not playing nicely. A non-binding agreement and harsh words do nothing to a country that doesn't care what you say.

> This has played out before, right after WW1 where America and UK tried to subjugate Prussia to shame. It only led to simmering tensions and WW2. That is exactly the reason why after WW2, Roosevelt decided to lead the world with multipolar institutions, where many powers have a stake in the well being of the world. With big daddy diplomacy, there will be winners and losers and the next WW will not forgiving on mankind.

FDR was terrible for this country, so doing the opposite is fine in my book.

> Before accusing someone of simplicity and emotions, acknowledge that you may have gaps in your understanding of WHY we do non-binding agreements. Do your homework, learn some history.

You are extremely emotional about the US. It's obvious from your posts you are most likely a self-loathing American who's been fed propaganda about how supposedly evil your own country is. Sad!

Detailed Rigid Body Simulationwith Extended Position Based Dynamics [pdf]
Matestack's reactive core components are built on pure Vue.js components. When a reactive component is rendered, Matestack renders a HTML component tag, passing in configuration via props and ships that to the browser. Vue.js on the browser then detects these component tags and mounts the appropriate Vue.js component, which reads the configuration coming from the props and perform the desired (configured) functionality. The HTML within the component tag is used as the inline template for the Vue.js component. It's rendering HTML tags out of pure Ruby on the one hand, and mounting pure Vue.js component on top of that in the browser on the other hand.

(I have fairly minor quibbles with some of Nate's modeling ideas, but I broadly mean to be defending him).

I don't mean to imply 2016 was a black swan event- I agree that ~30% was probably as accurate a take as could be achieved (most evidence that seems reasonable to use indicated a lead for Clinton, but that it wouldn't be that surprising for that lead to be overcome). I just mean that the model assumes a fairly normal election environment, without like a huge attack on Election day or something on election day.

The N=3 comment was meant specifically for evaluating their calibration, not the data they use for their model.
> And in some circumstances four-way stops flow more traffic.

There's no way that's true, is it? What circumstances would a four way stop sign allow for more traffic flow than a roundabout?

I'm pretty sure it's purely cost-cutting. Four way stop signs are extremely cheap compared to roundabouts. There's no other advantage that I can think of.

Roundabouts are safer (there is no opportunity for t-boning at a roundabout), faster and simpler to navigate than four way stop signs (a roundabout you just give way to people already on the roundabout, a four way stop sign requires you to keep track of who arrived first and then do a weird dance if you both arrived at the same time, and you still need to watch out for people attempting to go out of turn -- which is not possible with a roundabout)

Interesting new strategy here folks.
It might not actually matter if one state (or several) decided to break the compact, since the trigger condition for the compact coming into effect is that the compacting states have enough electoral votes to guarantee the outcome of the election.

As long as the defecting state had fewer (or the same number of) electoral votes as the aggregate of the non-compacting states that happened to assign their electors in support of the popular vote winner, then the defection would not actually change the outcome of the election.

This may reduce the incentive for states to defect from the compact, as might the possibility of electors from non-compacting states becoming faithless out of respect for the compact.

Strategically I think the NPVIC shouldn't have been presented as a compact between states but as a set of individual pledges to the people of America that each pledging state would act in the necessary way once enough other states had made equivalent pledges. That would mean the states wouldn't have standing to sue each other, unlike in a compact, but it seems that their ability to do that is constitutionally questionable anyway.
Queues are a dynamic concept; which queue you’re on is a runtime property. For this reason you may be familiar with assertions to check if a function is running on some queue.

Actors however are a static concept, we know at compile time which actor is local, and if we have the right one active. So the check about whether you’re on right actor happens at compile time.

You can think of it as if queues are part of the type system, and the compiler can work out statically what queue is used by any code, and so it can label an entire call tree’s queues by control flow analysis.

Because of this you wouldn’t dispatch onto the same queue twice and deadlock. Rather, the compiler would see that the correct actor is local already in the call tree and there’s nothing to do so the dispatch is elided. It would only “switch queues” if it needs a new one.

Besides the deadlock issue, the other advantage of this is it gets optimized out if you have several calls with the same actor.

It worries me even more that i can't see a way out of it other than censorship.

It also worries me that so many people have been so pickled in today's ubiquitous leftist policing of what must and can't be said, what mustn't be reported, what must be publicly proclaimed (or you're a "literal nazi") that they literally can no longer understand the arguments of old fashioned leftists like Noam Chomsky about how silencing opposing opinions, regardless of what justification you claim, is utterly corrupt.

A debate where one party gets to decide what both parties get to say is a sham. Whatever it pretends to be about, it's not about trying to determine actual facts.
Its the age old walled garden approach isnt it? Capture the market.
