(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey's on the moon)

Gil Scott-Heron is right - but also not. I was reminded of this watching First Man - and I realised that if 1960s USA had not funded a Moonshot, then would it have looked at itself and said "Hey our police force is used to keep 1/5th of our population in poverty through violence and our financial policies do the same. Let's fix that"?

The thing about the space race was not how much money it got but how it was allowed to define problems using measurements to the millimetre and then solve them at the edge of what was technically possible.

They were free of politics because no one had ever done it before.

But politics is itself how we decide what the problem is.

The concept that the US could have spent the moon money on fixing its self is ... a stretch.

But to give in to that line of thinking is to abandon all hope.

Not spending money on space is not the same as spending it on fixing our deepest problems.

Until we can convincingly show we agree on what our problems actually are, I am reluctant to think we can spend billions fixing them.

Instead let's fire spaghetti at the walls on local levels - maybe we can find solutions local interventions first.
Right, but when you delete an image from imgur you know the image is going away.

Years ago Discord wouldn't delete images uploaded as part of a post, they'd just get garbage-collected at some random future time. (And some would leak indefinitely) Thus, people got used to sharing these around and not caring about the original message.

Now it's near-instant as the message delete operation sends a Google Cloud delete API immediately. But people still share these around without knowing that. We don't know where those links originated so it's both a disclaimer and a mirror.
vine yards, tomatoe owners and others would certainly concure strongly.
Between the nodes and in their configuration [by lack of vocabulary] something like an n dimensional ink blob arrises. If this just happens to map reasonably to some n dimensional problem and the parameters of the swarm can be tweaked (evolve) to better map to it you can have logic with few moving parts. A simple example would be to first place the sugar pot in random locations until it ends up next to the coffee machine from where it migrates to the coffee table. The bags of sugar (to refill the pot) move around similarly.
That’s because the parallelization in the STL is encapsulated. In Haskell and Rust it’s explicit, it’s not just about adding a parameter to an existing function, it’s a general mechanism.

Something that always gives me pause: what would happen if a developer removed a bunch of code? That can of course take a significant amount of time/energy/skill in itself, and is presumably copyrightable work. But, how could it possibly be re-done?

No, this is not what I meant. Alternatively, I'd consider full rewrite as potentially an easier action than untangling individual rights.

Imagine a person A worked on a project together with persons B, C..., and over time they all have dependence on each other code. If B, C etc. at some moment changed licensing of their code, but person A didn't, 1) A's work will become at least partially meaningless, as it depends on B, C... work 2) B, C... would be in violation of previous agreement with A (as at least some of their code depends on A's code).

Even worse, assume A doesn't want to significantly modify the project structure, and starts talking with B, C... asking them not to change the license. While it's formally possible to find last modifier for each line, it doesn't usually make much sense from programming logic point of view. So, NodeBB seem to get quite lucky getting everybody - at least everybody with complex contribution - simultaneously changing their license terms in accord. I'd assume in general it could be easier to rewrite all code.
You build your first 1000 warheads and develop a delivery method. Soon the other party develops countermeasures. So you still have 1000 warheads, but the delivery is no longer guaranteed.

You develop a better delivery method, and it's easier to build another 1000 warheads than repurpose the first 1000. You end up with 2000.

It won't be long you will have to build more. As the warheads are not consumed, you end up having more and more. But only 1000 of the latest generation, that really counts.
HP, the author of the software in question explicitly revoked the certificate, indicating that they no longer trust that the software they signed with it is secure. Yes, HP may have done that in error, but how can apple know or reasonably assume an error here and retain trust?

No actual malware ot breach was involved in this case, but what is the system supposed to do if the org responsible for the software revokes the trust anchor? Continue just as if trust was still established? What if the certificate had actually been used to distribute malware?

The system worked as designed, but HP needs to figure out how that to revocation happened.
England to enter second lockdown in days, says Boris Johnson
Follows France and Germany going in for another month long lockdown

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/covid-germany-fr...

Germany and France announce new national lockdowns, saying they have lost control of the coronavirus

[..] The announcements came as governments across Europe struggle to contain a second wave of the virus in colder weather, even after the relative success of strict lockdown restrictions in the spring.
“We in Europe are all surprised by the propagation of the virus,” Macron said in a televised address to the nation.
“The virus is circulating in France at a speed that even the most pessimistic forecasts had not anticipated,” he said, adding that the number of infections had doubled in less than two weeks.[..]

And in this setting, the type of that datastructure containing the functions can act as an interface.

A trap that OO programmers sometimes fall into with Haskell is to try to emulate OO interfaces using existential types + typeclass interfaces but that is a bit of an antipattern.

The committee thinks/thought that the Fraktur letters aren’t just a different way to write letters, but symbols with a different meaning, just as ℂ, ℕ, and ℝ aren’t a different way to write C, N and R.

(And yes, they included not only 𝔸𝔹ℂ𝔻𝔼𝔽𝔾ℍ𝕀𝕁𝕂𝕃𝕄ℕ𝕆ℙℚℝ𝕊𝕋𝕌𝕍𝕎𝕏𝕐ℤ, but also 𝕒𝕓𝕔𝕕𝕖𝕗𝕘𝕙𝕚𝕛𝕜𝕝𝕞𝕟𝕠𝕡𝕢𝕣𝕤𝕥𝕦𝕧𝕨𝕩𝕪𝕫 and 𝟘𝟙𝟚𝟛𝟜𝟝𝟞𝟟𝟠𝟡 in Unicode. In iOS Safari, using the font for entering HN comments, ℂℍℙℚ renders a bit taller and bolder for me. ℝ and ℤ render taller, but not bolder. Why beats me.)

I agree with them on ℂ, ℕ, and ℝ. I also think that makes it hard to disagree with them on the Fraktur letters.
> HR departments say they can't do anything because caste is not a protected category

The whole idea of "protected categories" just sounds wrong to me.
The current system makes it seem like it's always OK to discriminate, but only these reasons are not OK. It sets the default to "we're all considered unequal before the law except under these circumstances where we are considered to be equal".

That's working with a blacklist in world where the number of reasons for discrimination is infinite. It would make much more sense IMO to use a whitelist instead: you may only legally discriminate in these cases otherwise it's illegal = "we're all considered equal except in these cases where we have to be allowed to differentiate".

Issues like the current one would be prosecutable without adding another protected category.
A DMCA takedown can only be sent by the owners or someone acting on their behalf. (Though, microsoft is more than fine on making exceptions for the RIAA in the case of youtube-dl I doubt they will make an exception of individual devs)

If you contribute to a GPL project, your contribution is licensed under GPL, but it's your copyright, not the project owners. The Contributor License Agreement transfers the copyright from you to the project owner, so they may re-license (or dual license) in the future.
With all due respect, this is more often than not what IT people think is happening, meanwhile the person signing the check is talking behind their backs to see if anyone else in the industry is using the product and how they're using it.

It's more prevalent in certain industries than others, and some IT people may have more sway than others, but inferring that logos aren't valuable is a terrible take.
Rams' Ten Principles for Good Design came long before Buzzfeed and the concept of clickbait.

This is not a listicle.

This is the earnest design philosophy of one of the most influential designers of our time. A philosophy which can be found in most tech products today (Apple has literally ripped off many of his designs).

If you create software or hardware products, ignore these at your own peril. HN users, perennially frustrated by superior technological solutions losing out to simpler sexier ones, could learn a thing from #3: Good design is aesthetic.

Limits of human thought and how these limits define philosophy
> Listen, personally I would recommend you visit countries abroad for a change - like China, Russia, India or Europe (pick any they are all nice) and leave your US bubble.

Russia invaded Georgia in 2008[0]. Russia has taken over Crimea, a part of Ukraine in 2014[1]. Sweden plans to increase their military spending because of Russia's actions[2]. Estonia is upping its sea defenses[3].

I'm sure that the majority of Russians would prefer not to go to war. They have their own problems - a drug epidemic, a demographic implosion, and a quickly declining economy. Then there are the oligarchs. But, given the right carrot and stick (mostly stick), I see no reason why they wouldn't invade a neighboring country. Because, the small group of people you mention, those gangsters at the top, they have a lot of big sticks to motivate people to sign up for the army and do terrible things to their neighbors.

FYI, I've lived half of my life in Europe. Eastern Europe. The threat of Russia is always present in the back of people's heads. And they like NATO safety. No, they wouldn't prefer to welcome Russia and learn Russian. They like their life, they like their cultures, and yes, they are even so barbaric as to want to defend their life and culture with their lives by standing up to Russia.

My experience has been fairly matched towards yours, I'm a recent Computer Science graduate who's been told a fair number of times that a lot of places just aren't sure if they want to be hiring at the moment.
This is bigger than the licensing issue IMO. Thanks for noticing it, I’m uninstalling it right away.
My recollection is for the textual characters that got repurposed as emoji, it’s implementation-defined as to whether the character defaults to text or emoji but that most renderers opt for emoji (which I believe is copying Apple’s decision here). There are variation selectors you can use to force textual or emoji presentation.
I thought OSX was "secure by design" and that there was no malware on Macs. This is what Mac users are always saying. (For example, they say on Quora, that Mac viruses are never really seen in the wild: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-reason-why-Mac-computers-d... )
I thought someone else in the thread said they did work.

That's a lot more work than a quick easter egg, I'm just impressed it's as complete as it is. And a lot of the places where it's not (Antivirus popup) are funnier by not being implemented.
>> But what I don't get is: how do you even know this with such confidence?

> Because instead of saying "yes it's based on the AGPL code, I have consent" they're saying "no it's not based on the AGPL code, it's a complete rewrite", which is an easily provable lie.

First, note that no one has any obligation to you (or me) to reveal any of their contracts or business dealings. It's not our business, quite literally. It is (or was, earlier in the discussion) entirely possible they have a license, the parties are fine with it, and they just don't want the rest of the world to know or care.

Second, you literally have contributors themselves starting to come to defend him against you:

> I’m @{name} in your CC list and I was hired to work on Octotree. I’m no longer involved, but I was there when we rewrote Octotree. Just so you know.

Is it possible some people may have been wronged here? Sure. Is it possible they haven't? Yes. We don't know, but even before you even knew some were paid and all that, you'd already leveled an accusation against them of bad faith and gotten people all across the world piling on. Given you've gotten at least part of this wrong so far, one would think maybe a less confidence in your accusation might've in fact been warranted, especially given you're just a bystander?
What is the book value of the common share?
What is the book value of the common share?

Book value per common share (or simply book value per share - BVPS) is a method of calculating the book value per share of a company based on the equity of the common shareholders in the company. A company's book value is the difference between that company's total assets and total liabilities, not its market share price.

https://www.freeforex-signals.com/

In the event of the dissolution of the company, the book value of each ordinary share indicates the remaining dollar value of the ordinary shareholders after all assets are liquidated and all debtors are paid.

The people who pushed privatization were the ones who personally benefited the most from it. It went from semi-incompetent central command to completely incompetent private cronies with baked in government support in the form of contracts, outright thuggery, and geopolitical might. Sure they got cleaner pricing signals, but they lost everything that made them competitive. At this point, most of the privatized industry that remains is largely rent seeking (telecom et all), resource extraction, and the military industrial complex.

The argument is that what the USSR experienced is an accelerated version of what we're seeing in the US, since it didn't have the other social institutions to make the transition. The free market didn't win, it just paused its ambitions to cannibalize the only competition before continuing on the same destructive path that the USSR economy speed ran in the 80s.

What a colorful life: a jewish chess prodigy who becomes a notorious neo-nazi and email spammer, ruffles a lot of feathers as a con man, turns into a nomad and travels under the radar around North America, finally shot to death and found in a burning SUV.

It depends on the module, but for example a 1 gigabyte DRAM module can be built from sixteen 64 meg x 8 chips. Each chip is 8 bits wide, so 8 chips give you 64 bits. This is duplicated for two banks. The row and column addressing is repeated in each chip, while the circuitry to select the right module and bank is external. I'm sure someone else can provide more details on modern modules.

Tesla is turning out to be an environmental disaster.

Normally a car is serially produced by established factories, and sometimes even re-using parts from other models. And this car will still be in use 20 years later with no restrictions on its features except wear.

While a Tesla is manufactured in a brand new factory with no previous precedence of parts or processes.

And on top of that, it's re-sale usability is apparently garbage. So we'll see a bunch of old Teslas litter nature because no one wants them.
> Every official website in the country is in the four languages

This is plain wrong. I could give you (just making a quick Google search) hundreds of examples where you can see it's not true. Co-official languages are just second-class citizens here. Not only dozens of official web sites are Spanish language only, but also those who offer language selection mostly just change the menu option titles, but the actual content is only in Spanish.

Even Spain's anti-covid mobile application (Radar Covid) -whose UI is just a couple of messages, nothing very hard to translate- got translated to all the official languages only recently.

https://portal.mineco.gob.es/gl-es/comunicacion/Paxinas/defa... (I chose "GL", but the news are still in "ES")

https://www.casareal.es/GL/Paginas/home.aspx (the same)

https://industria.gob.es/renove/paginas/index.aspx (where's my language menu?)

https://www.rtve.es/ (no languages for our public televison website?)

This last one is a good example, because everybody, regardless of his language, funds RTVE through taxes, yet its live contents are mostly Spanish language only.

And we can find similar examples for the other topics. But no, I don't care what they do or speak in Murcia, I just want to have the same rights that someone from Murcia has in my region.

I really don't think we get to decide if we allow this or not. A company like Cloudflare or any other edge computing provider is easily in the position to make this happen, for completely innocent and valid reasons.

This is where I tune out, because that is a whole damn can of worms you've opened up.

I expect that to happen far less often.

Excess mortality data is here: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

Looks like minimal deaths from flu during normal flu months in 2020 followed by a large spike (COVID). The spike appears at the end of the flu season, but the previous patterns suggest you should have been seeing excess mortality earlier if flu was bad this year, so my money is on minimal flu deaths.

It's curious to see how far back the form over function at Apple goes. Truly part of the company spirit.
That just moves the question to why people would want a democracy if they had a state controlled economy that provided for their needs and prevented them from capitalist exploitation?

The point here is that soviet economic collapse as a historical event preceded the shock privatization* despite what command economy apologists might claim.

*free market proponents shouldn’t defend the sale of state assets to oligarchs when those assets were formerly expropriated. The title is encumbered by the previous misdeeds.
