I'm not sure this is a good precedent to set. if the eula that you agreed to doesn't allow decompilation or reverse-engineering, then github shouldn't allow it.
Conversely, if this is okay to do, then we should be allowed to do this to any code not just TikTok or code that comes from China, even your code even if it means in doing so you might lose some revenue.

There's an argument to be made that all software should be free as in speech, so I won't make the argument here.
The "weird list in the screenshot code" is just common names for screen shot files ...
In addition to all the standard FOSS software you can think of, Wolfram has made the full commercial version of Mathematica available for free for Raspberry Pi users. (It's a huge 600mb+ download.) It's a phenomenal thing for kids who are into math.
I think the difference is intent. Most musicians go into it hoping to make a boatload of money. Open source software devs, not so much.
There definitely are possible concerns. I used my computer on my nice 4k tv for a bit and really liked it -- to the point where I went out and got a cheap 4k from Walmart... and returned it the same day, latency issues. TVs aren't designed to be nice monitors, but we're talking about cases where the alternative might be nothing.

Multiple kids -- definitely an issue, but it's still one fewer setups than before.
Is that boot process closed source?
Reminds me a bit of something I read here once.

The gist was:

Your data is super safe in S3, as long as you pay the bill. If you stop, it's gone.
The laborers don't make $70 an hour, that's what the project bills their rate as. They make closer to $20, the difference accounts for management salaries, times when the buisness has to pay the employees when they don't have work but don't want to lay off (because they are expecting work) and benefits (sick time, pto, parental leave, training etc.)
I run a large infrastructure SaaS on AWS. Our bill is frightening and so we work diligently to find ways to cut it down. Yet, despite other cloud providers offering much lower prices on CPU, storage, and bandwidth, we stick with AWS for the following reason: If we were to switch to a cheaper provider, we would have to do a lot of building ourselves, which would require hiring talent and keeping that talent employed continuously.

Any time we look at the switch, it doesn’t make sense because of the up front costs of staffing that we would need to absorb.
I also disagree it was really panic buying.

We were all being warned we might need to self-isolate for two weeks if we caught covid.

So suddenly everyone needed 2 weeks of spare stuff, on top of their normal shop.

Hence the sudden shortages.

I found it quite insulting that the media decided to crow about panic buying, when we'd essentially been told to do it.
Good call, that's actually a valid point.

I wanted to carry on the fun but your rebuttal gave me pause to reflect, and I realised two things, one being that I was not entirely fair in my characterisation of management, the other being that by taking the sarcastic approach I wasn't projecting my values effectively either.

I'm not a big fan of the "I was only joking" routine so I'll take the time to try and straighten myself out.

In the context of the linked article, I chose to read it through the skewed lens of a ham-fisted metrics-driven management-stereotype who doesn't pause to consider the cultural and productivity
impacts of half baked and reactive policy directives, leading to much chaos and dismay.

In actual fairness, I would say most managers I've had the pleasure of working under or alongside are not like this at all. I have worked with some truly excellent managers. The stereotype I called on is in my experience much rarer, usually new to the role or inexperienced, but it is what I've seen cause the most cultural and productivity damage in organisations which is why my reaction skewed in that direction.

If I am being totally honest with myself, when I first found myself in a management position, having ratcheted up from a development background, I was naïve and very much process focussed, and acted like every problem could be solved with additional or more detailed instructions. There was definitely also projection here on my behalf.

Nowadays I take a more measured and analytical approach to things in general, being thrust into management was a very tough learning curve but was also ultimately rewarding in terms of personal growth and professional development.

I definitely shouldn't be here taking my frustrations of the day out on random articles, even if thinly veiled in jest. I should have written some music or put on an audiobook instead...

Having said that, I couldn't resist one more before I turn in for the evening.

Operand | Account Executive | REMOTE

Operand (https://getoperand.com/) is a collaborative SaaS tool that enables individuals and teams to conduct (remote) interviews for due diligences, audits, and assessments. It allows the user to prepare questionnaires, capture answers, write advisories, and export reports.

We launched last month. Everything is in full swing gearing up for customers. You will be "employee #1" (well, more like freelancer #1 to begin with). See it as becoming my co-pilot on an adventure without a charted path (yet).

As an Account Executive you are responsible for qualifying, contacting, and closing 30-day free trial signups. During the trial period you turn them into paying customer customers.

We're looking for a someone who is clearly on a path to master the art of selling and who wants to become really good at it while working at Operand. You don't need to have years of experience but you will have to convince me that you know an awful lot about LinkedIn Sales Navigator, content marketing, Twitter/Reddit/etc advertising, or your own preferred tools of the trade.

Julie Andrews
Looking at the video here, the two best by far are the Michael Caine and Julie Andrews deep fakes, and in both cases the voice is doing most of the heavy lifting. Deepfake audio is somewhat scarier to me in terms of political / legal chaos than video, much easier to possibly trick someone with a "secret" audio recording than video recording if we some day get to the point of near identical audio mimicry.
The article mentions having a long history of data, but I want to stress a corollary of this: if you think you might eventually want to sell data, either put your data in an append-only data format now so that history is preserved, or at least take regular snapshots.

Otherwise, any time you update the data in place, you make it impossible to reconstruct what the data "looked like at the time" for a backtest.
Anyone interested in this topic can learn much more at Alon Levy's blog at https://pedestrianobservations.com/.

One of the points he makes is that Anglosphere countries (and the USA is worse than others) refuse to learn from other countries that have better cost and performance. He has a lot more to say - it's good reading.

Hudson Yards is Manhattan's newest office submarket and probably best-in-class modern office space in town. There were estimates that Hudson Yards would become the largest station by entries and exits. (MTA's station usage stats do not count transfers within a station's paid area.)
Your cites don't say what you think they say.

For starters, the first link is for a motion to dismiss, A motion to dismiss merely assesses whether the plaintiff has made sufficient claims in its pleading to keep the case going. It's not a substantive ruling on the merits of anything. And second, it was related to a "tortious interference with business expectancy claim" which required the plaintiff to have a business that was interfered with as a result of the defendant's false trademark violation claim, and that harm actually resulted from the defendant's false claim. (The case is still going, and both sides have filed competing motions for summary judgment.)

The second case was a tortious interfence case in which the defendant also made false allegations of counterfeiting, which led to Amazon removing the plaintiff's products from the store, so I'm assuming you brought it up because you are going to argue that the RIAA will make factually false statements of fact against you if you make a copy of the youtube-dl repository.

If that's your plan, good luck, because you're going to need it. You're definitely going to want to hire better lawyers, too, if your current lawyers have advised you that you could beat the RIAA in these circumstances.
It's more appropriate to think of Hindi (Rajbhashya/Khariboli) & Urdu as different registers of the same language.

For example, a lawyer & a rapper might both compose their works in English, while adopting a register & jargon geared towards their respective audiences. Their works might very well be largely incomprehensible to each others target audiences.
Ah, thanks for that!

It's still shady that they turned that on by default to get people to use it...
I meant it had become widespread in describing ML / DL systems, specifically.
There is some European fantasy that exists in the United States.

Anyone who travels to Europe is shocked at home, food, and car sizes. Sure there is beauty and history, but the standard of living seems significantly worse off.

There may be something to be said about safety nets, but it sure was a wakeup call for me.

Edit- don't get hung up on the sizes comment, it's merely an expression of wealth differences.

1. Your data is deleted and no longer hosted.
2. Your data is still hosted and made public.

The first one is what I would expect to happen since it makes the most sense in the context of the service. The second one just makes you look like a jerk.

I think if all you go by are headlines that press on the outlier events then you'll probably be in perpetual awe of how wrong science is. Comets are consistently flying by earth and always have some small chance of collision. Doesn't mean the science is wrong, but the headlines probably still touted the possibility. With climate change, it was always more in the realm of probability that larger events would be later down the road and we would see more gradual change (like we are now!), rather than the doom and gloom possibilities presented in many documentaries.

Anyone who proposed this idea can enjoy their retirement when voters fire them. People own actual cars now. They have arranged their lives around currently available modes of transportation including distance between work and homes.

They don't live a good distance from work because they want to they do because they can't afford to do otherwise. If you told one of the multitude of people who commute via car they have to spend 5000 on a clown car and an an hour to their commute which amounts to 500 hours annually or 20 days spent commuting they would be in your front yard with torches.

Instead what you need is enough housing to bring its price low enough for more people to live closer to work and enough transit that people want to use it not a clown car mandate.

When you have successfully convinced most people to commute differently you can start to limit cars not before.
The 2020 Election May Be the Most Secure in U.S. History
Less fundamentally democratic? As in you mean that most views are subsumed into the two big parties? I sympathize with the view that large parties eliminate diversity in political thought but I'm trying to understand what "less fundamentally democratic" means here.
Those healthcare costs would be covered from worker’s comp in the US (I am aware of the caveats here.)
The employees in the US are probably making closer to $30/hr than $70/hr, but their time is being billed at the higher rate, with the difference going into "overhead."
I think this article trivializes how difficult it is to create an audiobook of any quality. This quote: "Taking this into consideration, a 60,000-word novel would take 6.5 hours to complete at the rate previously mentioned." Makes it sound like you can create an audiobook form a 60,000 word book in just a couple days. You can't.
Interesting.

In Stuttgart, Germany, we have rather big subway tunnels.
Can you clarify your comment? It reads to me as ambiguous whether you're saying that worker pay and protections are weaker in Canada or weaker in the US.

I guess it depends on your definition of permaculture, I was thinking more like an integrated orchard system. You are quite right about your 'alternative grazing methods', they are productive and much much better for the soil than Corn + Feedlots that you get in the US. I do work on a farm that does a fair bit of that sort of stuff.

I didn't know that such a regulation even exists. But I also don't understand why such a regulation needs to exist.
Otherwise a lot of cars can set their top speed by being dropped from a sky scraper, and the testing would get unreasonably expensive.

Dropping a $25,000 Camry from an airplane might actually be cheaper than a single speed run of these hypercars, where they burn through a $40,000 set of tires....
No, people were bored, stuck at home and started trying home baking. It was doing the rounds on social media. So there was suddenly a massive demand for flour and yeast.

No panic, just a simple fad that they couldn't supply enough to meet demand.

I read that in the UK at least the actual problem was they had enough flour, but it was all in industrial bags and they did not have enough packaging to rebag it.

Actually another victim of just-in-time supply lines, rather than any 'panic'.
Burning a woman as a witch doesn't build any kind of incentive structure to prevent future crop failures. Punishing politicians who incite violence creates the obvious incentive structure for politicians not to incite violence, which results in less violence. This applies both the deepfakes and calls to violence in general.

Politicians don't have a particular right to remain in office despite inciting violence, even if it gives them the sads if they face repercussions.
That isn't what democratic means. It has nothing to do with which laws are passed, it's about how they're passed.
It'd be interesting to see the what percentage of the labor billing rate trickles down to the actual workers in the US vs elsewhere.

If the trickle down percentage is equal then the problem in the US is extractive labor unions; if US workers get a smaller percentage of the billing rate then the problem is extractive behavior by contractors. These problems require different solutions, so any attempts at cost control would need to determine which of these possibilities is in force.

US healthcare costs will also almost certainly feed into higher employee compensation for American workers. European employers will be paying into health care in some form or other (either through taxes or private insurance) but overall healthcare costs in Europe are far lower than in the US.

That was never the MPAA. The law firms they originally hired for those cases were behind that and were sanctioned for it.

The RIAA and MPAA are aggressive, but they're not stupid.
Well informed article, thank you. In practice I'm pretty happy with a huge monorepo, but have a somewhat surprising problem with it: it makes fine-grained code reuse too easy. People end up adding tons of dependencies, and building anything requires building ten thousand targets at head. (It seems the npm ecosystem ran into the same problem from another angle, they also made fine-grained reuse too easy and ended up with huge dependency trees.) In theory, the solution is using larger libraries with less frequent releases, but then we run into lag and the diamond problem again. I don't know how to square this circle.
Blank Verse to Free Verse: 7 Styles of Poetry
I'm no geologist, but I was under the impression that "bedrock" generally refers to this harder type of rock. It is not just a word for any rock that things are built on. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I've never heard London referred to as being built on top of bedrock in the same way I've heard it of NYC.
Not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if life and disability insurance through the tunnel workers union is extraordinarily expensive.
Germany isn't a high labor rate country, they have one of Europes largest low wage sector thanks to the Hartz IV laws implemented by the Bertelsmann Stiftung, a Non-profit foundation to evade taxes.
I care deeply about protecting the environment, but environmental protection laws are being weaponized to prevent projects that would markedly improve the environment. That's rather perverse.

For one recent and on-going example, look at the San Francisco Van Ness BRT project. This project merely adds dedicated bus lanes and center median boarding/unloading. Along with that work, there's some utility relocation, and sidewalk improvements.

This route is entirely along an existing major thoroughfare in heavily-urbanized San Francisco. The entire route is already entirely paved. Anyone can look at this and conclude there is no risk to the environment from this project. Yet the CEQA process for this project took ten years to complete.

The project would improve public transit, reduce traffic, reduce pollution. It's really ironic that laws meant to protect the environment are what held up this project for a decade.

There needs to be a way to short-circuit laws like CEQA for certain categories of projects, like transit in heavily-urbanized areas.
You would need to ship the machines to split abundant CO2 and H2SO4 into C, H, S, and O, and to put them back together in different, useful combinations--carbon fiber and polypropylene, in particular, and O2, H2O, CH4, and maybe even lignin, cellulose, and broccoli. (Polypropylene because it is not attacked by H2SO4.) But with such equipment on hand, making places to walk around is just a matter of construction.

Where, on Mars, would you walk to? There is noplace outside pleasant to be. It's always colder than Antarctica, but with no water and no air.

Survival on another planet would be no picnic on the Cam, dirt underfoot or no.
The empirical reality of the situation is completely one-sided. “Both-sides-ism” at this point is straight equivalent to endorsing fascist violence by trying to legitimize Trump’s sweepingly fascist and violent rhetoric and actions.

If a person has normal, healthy skepticism and tries to derive their reactions dispassionately from the facts, they would have no intellectually honest choice but to conclude the blame is one-sidedly with Trump and his supporters who are openly calling for fascist suppression of democratic electoral process.

When reality is one-sided by all evidence, then fair-minded people are also one-sided too.
