This is the 'racism' that women have faced from the dawn of civilization. It seems to have been born from the early formation of tribal conflict. We have seen that hunter-gatherers functioned more equitably, even though women bore the children and had a higher burden. It seems that as agrarianism grew and allowed a higher population density, some degree of group impingement competition arose - which led to resource scarcity - and then to conflict. Men with their greater strength became more combative and role specialists emerged. I suspect this was the start.
With a warrior class emerged the pushed around class.....the middle ages were bad, no vote at all for women in many societies, and not vote even for men with no land. By the 1600's this was solidified in many places. Gradually universal suffrage emerged after years of conflict. In Einstein's day women were severly abused in the way that Mileva was. This endures to this day, try as we do to eliminate it, these abuses persist all throughout society in many places.
I agree, Mileva deserved far more credit than she got. That evil professor was one of many that infested the ranks of Academe. The ranks of higher education are still riddled with these abuses - every day we see more of them outed.
Downgrading women is a HUGE burden to society and I do whatever I can to eliminate this is an my interactions.
Github isn't Facebook, there's hardly any network effect involved (the actual network is the World Wide Web itself).

The main issue is all the information that is Github-exclusive (like the "issues"), which AFAIK is extremely valuable for youtube-dl, and also AFAIK cannot be (easily) exported. But then developers should have know better than to put all their eggs in someone else's (Microsoft's !!) centralized and locked basket.

If Pirate fricking Bay is still up after all these years, so can be youtube-dl repository/ies.

EDIT : probably an even better example : Popcorn Time
> Get a colonoscopy starting soon and then every 5 years.

That's nice to say, but a colonoscopy costs $3,000 in the US. If you have good insurance, get one.
no, the scale is right. they're just missing some bits. they don't claim to have an intact Parthenon.
Rich people are not rich solely because of how hard they worked. THAT is an inhumane thing to say, as if poverty would vanish tomorrow if only the downtrodden masses put in a little effort.
Sure they did very little effort in that area. But you have to consider that saturation is reached eventually, so long R0 is > 1. Current trajectory for France is a doubling of cases every 3 weeks. Assuming a huge capacity increase of 50%, that would afford a 12 days delay.
If you don't need what cloud providers offer you, from hosted databases, access control, blue-green deployment, load balancing, auto-scaling, multiple detacenters, etc, there is little point in going with something like AWS.

OTOH, if you decide to do it yourself, you'll need to engineer a lot of what you need. That costs time and money. In the very low-end, it's cheaper to go bare VM. As size and complexity grows, it'll be cheaper to go with a cloud provider for a while, until you reach a point where you have so much infrastructure and so many services running that moving parts of it to on-prem will be the cheapest option. At this point, you will be your own little AWS.
Could you guys give it a try? We just launched the new version 9.0, Thanks
If we're making a wishlist for v2 we may as well put "full sized hdmi ports" on there.
Copy paste job gone wrong
I once demonstrated git format-patch and git am to someone and it was a mind-blowing moment for them. At least it was a good mind-blowing moment, unlike that link above.
>the mailing list does not serve the function of email address discoverability in any form. Instead, the source is the source code itself, in which the target email addresses will be recorded ad nauseam.

Not every project records email addresses in the source code. Yes, the project maintainers could do that, but some don't.

I'm looking inside the latest "youtube-dl-2020.11.01.1.tar.gz" source archive and it does not have maintainers' email addresses in it. The main Python source code file "YoutubeDL.py" and other .py files do not have email addresses. The archive also has a text file "AUTHORS" for historical credits -- but no actual email addresses. I suppose the current maintainer could explicitly put his email address in that source, but he/she didn't. (Maybe there are good reasons to avoid putting an email address in the source code.)

>To carve it out: You, as a holder of the source code, will always be able to send patches, ask questions, as well as start discussions that others will organically be added to, using no other sources of information than the source, irrespective of mailing list availability, as long as you can send email, and that at least one of the maintainers or contributors of the source can still receive email.

Based on what you wrote, it seems you still have not fully internalized the difficulties of a Schelling Point for something like Youtube-dl. Even if "youtube-dl-2020.11.01.1.tar.gz" contained the actual email address of the current maintainer, if that maintainer decides to quit because of RIAA hassles and someone else (unknown to us because we can't predict identities of future authors) takes over and creates a new "youtube-dl-2021.03.15.1.tar.gz", the old "tar.gz" file does not point to the existence of the new file or new canonical location. The world still needs a Schelling Point so people know where to download the latest trusted non-malware version of Youtube-dl even if they don't know the identity of the new maintainer. You claim the "source" can be the starting point ex nihilo but you still need a trusted Schelling Point to obtain the source in the first place to enable the subsequent steps of private email correspondence that make a mailing list server irrelevant.

How do people get the latest "youtube-dl-202x.xx.xx.x.tar.gz" without a Schelling Point?!? Your answer: start with the source code.

My response: isn't that circular logic?

I can only guess that you're using mental model of Linux kernel development. The problem with trying to transfer that collaboration workflow over to youtube-dl is the Linux project does not have adversaries like RIAA trying to kill it. Schelling Points are stable in that world of mainstream projects and seemingly trivial. E.g. just read the Linux kernel .h/.c file for email addresses.
I'm 99% certain they never called their father a bad person.
Apparently it is only their dashboard. Other services are working fine.
Yes - animals absolutely do not go missing within university tracking systems with IACUC oversight.

I disagree with the parents that the remaining animals are even primarily used for training purposes. There are countless ways that experiments may fail with uninteresting results, that do not count as null results.
> It wouldn't be legal in any of those territories - those explicit copyright exemptions don't apply to content that you're not licensed to have permanently or broadcasts.

On my case (French laws), there's no exception for that: https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/loda/article_lc/LEGIARTI00000... as long as it's a private copy.

> European law also requires member states to have laws against breaching technical protection measures, and bypassing those isn't usually legal irrespective of personal copy exemptions. And in this case Youtube-dl was taken down because it was claimed to breach technical protection measures.

That's actually the opposite, there's an interoperability exceptions for DRMs unlike in the US, which protecting a video certainly falls into since you would not be able to read it.
> if the personal use copy is made of an asset you are licensed to have permanent access to

Apparently you're in a Common Law country. In European countries making a copy for personal use is generally legal, unless the user should have been aware that the content was uploaded illegally; in the case of Youtube, the user may generally assume that the content has been uploaded legally, because Youtube has concluded contracts with most copyright collectives and the compensation is made in the form of a flat-rate surcharge on all storage media.

In Switzerland you may even legally download illegal content for personal use and also circumvent a copy protection for the purpose of creating a personal copy. EDIT: and did I mention that I studied law in Switzerland?

I fear they won't. Some crowds only need a spark to explode. They won't wait for counter-evidence. They just need a pretext.
Should be a headline from The Onion - Famous satirist uses 'satire' in public; crowd (including Pxtl) unaware; takes him literally.
I find Varoufakis to be dead-on in his critique, but would often like more focus on many possible post-capitalisms.

The failures of ΣΥΡΙΖΑ were many, and it is easy to simply call them hopelessly naive (from one side) or abject sellouts (from the other) - and there is no doubt Greece was in a hole partially (only partially) of its own making with no good way forward. And yes, he has a bit of "I'm the most important rockstar in the room energy" but so do a bunch of VCs and founders.

The idea of moving towards market socialism with universal income and using central banking as a mechanism to reduce inequality is new-ish. There are many threads in his writings that are not about anti-capitalism, nor a return to previous types of socialisms, but of how to harness market forces to continue to generate progress while reducing their massively negative externalities.

In any case, his ideas are worth more discussion than his personality.

Got you. It's only fascism if Trump does it.
Almost none(prob some Foss one). Using qemu-user you can run amd64 code on arm. Opengl is going to be a issue though.
The phrase "more equality" should terrify anyone who has anything invested in this world.
A flatscreen? as opposed to a CRT?
Wait? It sounds like you work in tech to me?
Does anyone have data on if we could build a small ICE that is strictly a generator? I know one issue is variable power needs but if there are say two banks of batteries and the one is running constantly at a fixed rate as more of a slow charge and the other is currently handling demand, would that work? Assuming that the banks could switch as one gets depleted and it begins charging.
It all started from oil shortages, as oil's sun sets, so should ethanol for simple combustion decline, by all means keep that production as a replacement for oil feedstock for industrial uses.
I'm much more concerned about the inverse, not people getting fooled by fake content, but believing that anything that doesn't align with their views is fake. We can end up in a post truth society where someone like Trump, Duterte, Bolsonaro or Orban can claim that any footage that is not politically advantageous to them is fake and created by an evil opposition to hurt their cause.

ex:

Trump access hollywood tape -> fake Soros conspiracy to save the pedophiles

We'll have a lot more people believing conspiracies like the moon landing being fake and end up with a lot of 9/11, JFK, holocaust, etc deniers.

There are many ways for something to be unsuccessful without being interesting. We do not need to reduce the signal to noise ratio of scientific publication further by requiring all exploratory research efforts to be published.

yes, it's important for work to see the light of day, but we do not want to disincentivise risky or exploratory work.

Well, first of all, I have 5 email accounts that I regularly use.

One of those uses multiple domains (it's an iCloud account that I registered way back in the iTools days, so it supports @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com....possibly even @itools.com, not sure about that one).

I regularly use a + extension to the addresses that support it when I'm signing up somewhere that I don't 100% trust, and that allows arbitrary additions to the address. And I don't always remember what version of a site's name I will have used (eg, user+hn@example.com, user+hackernews@example.com, user+ycombinator@example.com, etc).

I recognize that I'm an outlier, but trial and error is completely infeasible in this scenario.
Or better yet, your old presentations stay on the same terms, but any new presentations are public.

I had a polyp removed during mine, and there was absolutely no physical indication for me that anything had happened. The only way I knew any cutting or burning had been done is because I was told and shown a picture.
Ladder | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer, Product | https://withladder.com/company/jobs/4057701003

----

Ladder creates upward mobility for American job seekers and simplifies hiring for employers. We’re an early startup helping low-income folks upskill and afford vocational training (think truck driving or nursing) with zero-interest loans. It’s a bit like Affirm meets edtech meets workforce development — deeply mission-oriented work helping people get ready for an economy that’s left them behind, and also an exciting engineering challenge as we’re working with a modern stack and awesome team.

This is engineering role #3 at a 10+ person company with some phenomenal talent and great culture. We're hiring for both front-end and back-end roles, with a focus on the front-end role and someone who has had 2+ years of experience working in React, TypeScript, and front-end JavaScript frameworks. We are SF based but many team members are distributed.

In my time in tech I have never come across a company that is as mission-oriented as ours — while still very much focused on building a successful business. For many of our customers, Ladder represents a lifeline to economic stability. We are backed by USV; leaders at Affirm, Twitter, General Assembly; and some of the best VCs/angels in the business. It's a GREAT opportunity to join an early-stage company.

We might as well ask Kuleshov about this, father of the Kuleshov effect with his experiments between 1910 and 1920 ...

In the - now famous - film below, Kuleshov edited a shot of the expressionless face of an actor, which was alternated with various other shots (a bowl of soup, a girl in a coffin, a woman on a divan).

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gGl3LJ7vHc

When the clip was shown to an audience, they believed that the expression on the protagonist's face was different each time he appeared, depending on whether he was "looking at" the bowl of soup, a girl in the coffin, or the woman on the divan, showing an expression of hunger, grief, or desire, respectively.

Of course, the footage of actor Ivan Mosjoukine was actually the same shot each time.-

The audience even went on to rave about the actors "performance" ... "the heavy pensiveness of his mood over the forgotten soup, [they] were touched and moved by the deep sorrow with which he looked on the dead child, and noted the lust with which he observed the woman".-

The point is that, given the audiovisual medium, a certain degree of manipulation, or "intent" on the part of those creating the work is always to be expected ...

... and, also, that audiences bring their own bagage when they view something.-
This implies a capitalism that somehow exists outside corporatism - what many contemporary leftists argue in various ways - from Graeber to Pikety to Varoufakis is that these distorting forces have been baked into capitalism since the beginning in much the same way that authoritarianism was baked into the attempt at communism.

That is - there are market-based socioeconomic systems and socialist economic systems out there waiting to be experimented with and built that could avoid these things, but they aren't capitalism or communism, they are something different.
Exactly.

That and the 9's. I don't know how good OVH is with outage and availability. Sure the raw compute is cheaper.

There's also storage. He's renting physical drives on OVH meaning he has to take care of replication and back-up himself. The disks in his AWS VMs should be persistent. If his OVH server goes down due to hardware failure, what happens to his disks? I genuinely don't know.

Lastly, OVH doesn't have regions everywhere. Then it's yet another different provider with slightly different product for every geographical region he wants to support.
Additionally that means more tankers transporting ethanol and more weight on normal use compared to fuel output without ethanol.
It's fascinating to me that people talk about a peoples' desire to exercise their right to self-determination (whether autonomist or secessionist) as absurd, especially people whose forebears have already exercised that right to set up the stable societies they benefit from today.

People understand/respect separatism when it's Kosovo, Scotland, Catalunya, Hong Kong, etc, but all of a sudden want to be led by the hand when it involves African nations.
The revocation of the Fairness Doctrine in 1985 introduced Americans to the concept that our media could be biased. Then, Craigslist and Web 2.0 spelled doom for your local paper. This severely limited the job market for reporters and centralized the media industry. Finally, the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act in 2012 made it legal for the CIA to propagandize the U.S. public. The media is now mostly a megaphone for "sources familiar with the matter." Love Trump, hate him, or just don't care, but it's entirely rational to distrust the U.S. media, and that will be true long after Trump.
The threshold for self experimentation is raising though. One can buy a plane ticket or launch a rocket with a camera to see that the earth is not flat. Telescopes that can see evidence of humans reaching the moon are more attainable.

My guess is that's why more widely believed theories are increasingly elaborate or are those that require more effort to disprove.

Religions too seem to be evolving to increasingly abstract beliefs or face ever more mental gymnastics to justify. (Part of the reason I'm no longer a believer.)
The currently accepted view is that she was a sounding board, or had a similar role as Grossmann who also got little recognition (as detailed in the brilliant biography by Isaacson).

There are a quite a few odd facts that became quite difficult to ignore though (the article has the original quotes / sources on some of them):

* There are plenty of letters from Einstein to Minerva discussing love and physics in historical record, but all but 10 letters from Minerva to Einstein are lost. It is unknown why they are lost. Without these personal writings it is difficult to assess whether her depth of knowledge and love for physics was on a similar level.

* Their relatives and children claim they always sat at the table together in the evening, discussing physics and working.

* She gave up her authorship contribution for an engineering project before for Albert, claiming "we are one, Einstein".

* Several references to 'our work' in various letters.

* Three of the 1905 papers originally had the author Einstein-Marity, a typical double name women adopt after marriage. It is unknown why. (Maybe Einstein wanted her to get recognition though?)

* There are some differences in how mathematical notation is used in the 1905 papers, and how much detail is given for the steps.

* Her divorce agreement stated that she would get the Nobel prize money. The amount was pretty much making her rich back then, which is an excellent situation to be in for a struggling single mother who might want to stay in Switzerland and not go back to Serbia. Some more details here: https://www.einstein-website.de/z_information/nobelprizemone...

* Minerva did not work in physics after she got pregnant. (The article states how she couldn't get through the academic system.) Though, Einstein, while still a productive physicist, never had an as successful year as 1905 again.

* She had better grades, Einstein copied her maths lecture notes, and you’ve got to say that you have to have quite a bit of endurance, intelligence and a thick skin to go from Serbia to ETH to study physics as a girl at that time. Not trying to devalue Einstein here, but it definitely took quite a bit more from her than for a boy at that time.

On the other hand, Einstein seemed to respect female scientists as evident in the letter to Curie, and might not have agreed to let her trade recognition for money if her contribution was real. In their honeymoon phase he also clearly saw Minerva as an equal (not so much later on, there is an awful letter by him setting rules for her as a housewife, but their marriage clearly was in pieces at that time.)

I’ve been following this case for a while and wish we could collect all neutral evidence (letters etc.) in original (german) form, similar to what the article already did.

There is a chance that the true story is that a couple that loved physics collaborated in 1905 and revolutionized the subject. I would love this conclusion.
