Uber and Lyft gain $13b in market value after Californians approve Prop 22
My state has been legal for a few years now. The smell and prevalence in public places had a bit of an uptick when it was first legalized. But a few years on, it's not really different than before. The people that smoke it still smoke it, and the people that don't still don't. At least anecdotally.
Im pretty sure I included one under the fire GIF. But might not be rendering on every browser.
You can't build something fast enough
It's not about the code, it's about having to make a remote call for every request.

This is for something that really doesn't change that much and is sufficiently narrow in possibilities that a library makes a lot of sense. I believe they already exist.

Think about how an API service like this relates to GDPR.
Why is GitHub not open source?

If so, they need their security team on that. They need to protect their Gemfile bc it would show attack vectors.
Missed opportunity. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to edit this site anymore because I didn’t save the edit link.
I'm well aware that I have nothing to complain about, money-wise, when considered on a global scale. (To say nothing of the historical scale.)

I've never missed a meal. And a precious person in my life gives me a roof over my head, use of her car, food, and most importantly, her support.

At the same time, all of my cash is gone. I've had to drain my retirement accounts, and it turns out that alimony/penury is not a valid excuse, so you pay the 10% penalty for early withdrawal. It's embarrassing to explain to HR why I'm taking 30 allowances on my W-4 when everyone else takes only a few. I can't take the company 401k matches, because I don't have the money to do so. More money lost. The deductions for alimony are mostly wasted, because if alimony takes most of your income, you didn't owe taxes anyway. You can't use it in a future year--you just lose the value of it.

A lot of "normal" financial/tax regimes are stacked against you when you're under alimony. Had to explain to family why a contribution to my 401k would cost me 10% of the contribution in taxes, right away. Seems inconceivable, but that's how it works out. Alimony? Fuck you, buddy.

If you want my lesson, don't get married. Nor live in any sort of common law situation.

I have nothing to say about kids. If you get someone pregnant, expect to pay for the next 20 years. I have no particular problem with that. Children are always the highest priority. (Better not to bring them into the world, though.)
It's a bit ignorant to claim that public knowledge access has no value. There's a lot to learn from reading #1 project of it's kind, don't you think?
What makes you think that I can see them?
"Suggest you read about how the DMCA works: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.github.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;free-pro-team@latest&#x2F;github&#x2F;site-policy&#x2F;dmca-takedown-policy"

That's how section 512 works. The RIAA letter referenced section 1201, not 512. There is no copyright infringing material to identify. The letter relates to distribution of copyright protection circumvention technology.

Maybe Github needs a new page explaining section 1201 takedowns.

Tesla did not (a few years back if I recall). If I had to swing, I'd say 98% of companies do not.

While I understand the intent of your comment.. I think your unfortunate word choice may cause some bad optics.
I get the impression that most of the limitations of Workflowy and lack of feature additions is intentional. Sometimes less is more. I understand why some might prefer to Dynalist, though I've stuck with WF.

The survivorship bias of this movement is akin to vanlife. A lot of people burn out.

I've seen some get themselves into a poverty trap they can't get out of. Can't pay off the farm, can't make enough to survive, can't make enough to sell up and move back to the city, been out of job market too long to get a job on their old industry and would be stuck unemployed / on povo wages.
As far as I understand, the legal footing for the RIAA takedown request comes from here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201
AFAIK the only thing that's straight up illegal to look at in the USA is child porn.

You can read bomb-making instructions, for heaven's sake. You can certainly look at this code. Just don't base a product on the ideas you got from looking at it.
Why can't we download data from screen time feature on Apple devices?
Recently I was looking for software that I could use to track and ultimately better understand where I spend my time. I did a little bit of looking and found a few options like rescuetime but after trying it out I found it was hard to track time because I had to have the application open while using apps/software on my laptop and phone. I knew about screen time but was unaware that it was also available on macOS. When I found this out I thought that I had found my solution to tracking my time. However apple screen time lacks a lot of features and is quite limited. For example there is no way to look at weekly or monthly trends, the categories are unable to be changed, and I can't access data from more than a month ago. In addition, when I select the metrics for all devices they differ on my iphone and mac. I was hoping that I could just download the data and create a better visualization/user interface, however I could not find any easy way to do this. I can't think of why Apple would not be able to allow this data to be downloaded if they are not willing to create a better screen time feature. This data should be accessible to the user especially if there are no third party alternatives that can accurately track screen time.
Would there even be a chance of a healthy weed market? From my perspective the market will quickly be saturated by big tobacco, since they already have all the plantation & manufacturing infrastructure needed to mass produce smoking products.

Note this is also why I have the feeling a lot of the pro-marijuana research the has come out recently is going to turn out just as illegitimate as all the pro-tobacco stuff from years past - if not even financed by the same exact industries
Yes? Per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24995266

Which at the time of writing read as follows "It's not open source because the open source "community" is a liability and you want them far away from you at all times.

I don't think you can disable them.
They’ve been around for quite some time so they have a much wider customer base & bigger teams supporting them. AWS services can be a bit choppy in the beginning so imo, especially with queues, I’d wait for it to bake.

Startups: 7 Ways Your Taxes Will Change Under a President Biden
No support for Windows apps yet in the repo. Incredible.
I was not surprised when they shut down the City Pages. It had become a shadow of its former self (and its former self was OK, but I can't imagine it deserving a write up in a national paper?). Any kind of credible music journalism had been gone for years. Honestly, reading this review I have to wonder, did the author even read the City Pages very often? For the last few years it was mostly a regurgitation of what was popular on Twitter with some salacious headlines thrown in.
> and makes it accessible to everyone

If you pay. It heavily litigates you if you even put a decal of their characters (many who were taken from common European folklore) in your child care center. Disney has been the worst influence on copyright law in the US. Tt's impossible to assess its impact but I wouldnt be surprised if the monetary value of that stiffing of use would be in the hundreds of million.
The problem is how do you prove you didn't base your ideas on what you saw? If you never saw it then its easy to say you can't have copied it.
My parents had a rather large garden (I wouldn't call it a farm), and we grew 3 crops a year in it. As a kid/teenager I hated it at the time, since they made me work there. Fast forward 30 years I have a bunch of raised beds in my backyard, grow produce, and find it more rewarding in that non-monetary fashion, than just about any other thing I've done. Properly set up (basically just automatic drip irrigation, which is super cheap) it's very low maintenance.

So yeah, I agree with the author. As an engineer, doing this to make money is stupid. But as a lifestyle thing I think it's a lot of fun. And then you also get to eat what you grow, in addition to the "lifestyle".
He said they share code. It sounds like github.com is mostly just an instance of GH Enterprise. Developers for one are developers for both.

It’s long been possible to decode H.264 using JavaScript (which obviously uses way more power than the native decoder). This is why browsers only restrict audio playback rather than actually autoplaying video.
They’ve used Ritalin as well, since it has obvious psychoactive properties and also causes some of the same physical effects as psilocybin (increase in heart rate, sweating, etc).

What does that matter though? Is the expectation that GitHub would have managed it's open source offering outside of GitHub?
Considering FlightAware is getting rich off your data, selling blocking services, actively working against enthusiasts through lobbying with NBAA and EU authorities.

FA / FR24 offering nothing in return but a fake enterprise account, a bunch of gimmicks, basically good marketing to trick fools into proving them 10 of millions of dollars in free data a month.

Suggest looking up https://www.adsbexchange.com/ and talking to them about hardware - that way everyone can make good use of the data instead of FlightAware and Daniel Baker getting rich from a business model based on extortion.

Absurd to me that people brag about hosting FlightAware or FR24 hardware while in reality all they are is getting fucked while FA and FR24 run off with bags of money.
Yeah it's been like a whole 18 months since /r/politics all screeched about this non-stop for weeks even as literal lobbyists were telling Facebook, YouTube, spotify, iTunes, and twitter which content users should be allowed to view.

At that point why bother? Why would I spend my time and money for something that is simply not my problem? To do the right thing? The bank doesn't consider it the right thing. It's not clear that the law does.
It's not in line with their business model of running a propriety SaaS.
If it got sent to a marketplace/exchange, I wonder how many confirmations an exchange would wait for to sign-off that they can't be double spent.
Yep, but the article linked to by the ceo discusses section 501 which applies to copyright infringements. The riaa doesn't (that I'm aware of) have a copyright on anything in youtube-dl's repo.
I dont know why you are being downvoted I thought the same. People were raving at the time and I couldnt get the point. I mean, I understand that personally for Mr Pausch it was a cruel tragedy and I see that he spoke from his heart, but the message was pedestrian if not cliche. I think we can be adult enough to empathize with the person and offer a fair criticism of his work.
"sqs & kinesis"? These are two vastly different queuing systems. It's like saying "SSDs and Tape" are a better storage system than X.
An empire will always want to promulgate the idea that gerruila warfare is bad form, that the resistance should stand in an orderly lineup and fight fairly, may the side with superior resources triumph. Civil disobedience and conscientious objection are going to be more effective than merely communicating your displeasure to your Twitter followers or starting a petition on change.org.

It's unreasonable to expect that the individual who took this action could go to court against the RIAA and extract their deeply embedded claws from the legislative, executive, and even cultural environment in which they've entrenched themselves.

Instead, it's reasonable to expect that somewhere in a conference room at say, Gitlab, Sourceforge, etc., sometime in the near future, some lawyer is going to mention "We got DCMAs from X for repo Y, and foo for repo bar, and from the MPAA for the popular repo (insert software tool here), obviously we should remove all of those repos." Maybe someone familiar looks up and says "that sounds a little silly, isn't that tool just a general-purpose media player?" And the lawyer might respond "We don't care-we don't have the budget to determine if the DCMA notice looks valid or not, if it turns out to be valid we have to do it and if it's not valid it costs us nothing to take it down". Actions like this provides a reasonable response of "But, as we saw with GitHub, some of our users and maybe even some of our own employees will resent us for this. It could cost us users, cost us bad publicity, or cost us real money. Let's put a couple people on this for an hour or two to estimate the pros and cons."

Github was just a middleman, responding rationally to their existing financial, legal, and moral incentives, in a battle between their little users and the RIAA. Like a little flock of oxpecker birds riding a rhinoceros, we wouldn't even register in a fight against a tiger, we can only warn our larger intermediary of the danger we perceive. The RIAA doesn't care that you're against them. We need to change the incentives for companies like Github that have a chance to be heard.
This approach does not involve forcing the entire world to learn Chinese. It involves a bunch of written vocabulary words.

It exactly mirrors the old approach of using English words, except that it fits into the narrower space given to icons. And it is vastly superior to using icons, for the same reason that using English words is.
wish i could get an answer to this too
They aren't. They're technically more correct but not always the practical best choice.

RabbitMQ is a smart play as Rabbit is very easy to use, understand, and troubleshoot at the low end (which is where I suspect the vast majority of queue systems live).

It also has a feature which is actually really hard to do (and sqs doesn't do). Guaranteed delivery of a message once.

That was THE reason we never migrated to SQS, there are scenarios where SQS can double deliver. Our codebase was built up from nothing over time and couldn't gracefully handle double delivery of messages in all scenarios. We could have refactored, but it wasn't worth the work when we were already doing a half billion in revenue without getting even close to the limitations of rabbit AND were close to selling (which we ultimately did).

AWS is great at selling multiple slight variations of the same product. If you look you can usually find ONE variation that works for you. The real test will be if the billing isn't garbage (garbage billing is why we didn't use their other AMQP service and part of the reason why we don't use things like EKS or Managed SFTP despite having the need).
> section 1201 takedowns

Does the DMCA actually define these, or is the entire concept of a "section 1201 takedown" a courtesy GitHub is extending to rightsholders, but not legally required to provide? I am only familiar with the DMCA outlining a takedown process for copyrighted content.
Which is why lobbying ostensibly exists: people in the industry know best.

To counteract this a consumer group or union of those affected would be required, but that's a bit tough when they are usually the ones spending the money, not earning it.
I think what GP is saying is that Kim’s probable treatment in the US criminal justice system would not be unusual, it would in fact be the usual treatment for US inmates. Inmates in the US regularly fear for and lose their lives, pandemic or no pandemic.

The cruelty point stands though.
The whole thing really reads as mental illness to me. I bet he had it under control for the most part, but things worsened as the trip went on.

One of the biggest reasons for quitting mental illness drugs is due to the feeling that everything is "OK", and they don't need them anymore.

This almost universally false, and as the drugs leave their system, things get progressivelly worse over time. The story fits this timeline really well.
I'm not saying scale is irrelevant. I'm saying the influence of scale should push in the opposite direction to what you are implicitly arguing for.

I notice you've never bothered to make any arguments other than "stop being stupid". Could you?
So my example to friends & family was if you wanted to vote Green but didn't want to "spoil" the vote for Biden, you could vote for Howie Hawkins as #1, then Biden as #2. If Howie didn't win, then your vote for Biden would be counted. The usual response is "ahhh ... that's cool".

The problem in US politics is that it's polarizing (by design?) and always boils down to either voting for the least-worst candidate (rather than the candidate you actually like), or voting for someone you hate simply because there's a key issue that aligns with your thinking.
You break your own ToS and DMCA policies by banning users who repost youtube-dl code. You potentially also lose your safe harbor restrictions in the process.

Let's pretend for the moment that the original youtube-dl DMCA had been valid, or that you removed youtube-dl due to an innocuous mistake. If I post youtube-dl to MY account, you have NO reason to take it down until you receive another takedown request from the RIAA for my repo. You certainly have no reason to ban users. There is nothing in your ToS which this violates.

I work on education projects which use youtube-dl in legal, non-infringing ways. I don't think the RIAA has a legal leg to stand on for reasons I'm not going to get to in this post.

Until github starts following DMCA processes properly, I CANNOT respond to the existing takedown request, since I have no standing. It's not my repo.

The right course of action for me would be to:

(1) Consult my lawyer and figure out if this is a fight I want to pick. I'm pretty sure I'd win in court if this went all the way, but I might go bankrupt first.

(2) Post youtube-dl to my repo.

(3) Wait for a DMCA takedown notice.

(4) Respond to it with a counternotice, and litigate with the RIAA.

Because github has decided to act as an arbiter on behalf of the RIAA, rather than a neutral third party, I cannot follow this process. github short-circuits this process at #2 by threatening to remove the repo and ban my account.

I'm sorry that you've chosen to side with the RIAA against the Internet. I'm gradually moving my business to gitlab. This is approximately what people thought would happen as a result of the Microsoft purchase.
The odds there are zero; a community of four people is not going to bother with any commercial relationships at all. It is almost certainly a very small family.
> but the floppy disk metaphor is about three technological phases out of date. It's as if a magneto crank were offered to represent "call."

The phone icon used everywhere depicts a corded type (without the cord) that was last popular in the 90s. After that there was a wireless version, then flip-phones, then smartphones.

So actually about the same number of iterations out of date.
I agree. SQS has done nothing but improve over time.
Except of course it's pretty difficult to consume 10x the amount of alcohol without puking, and people develop tolerance to morphine, which shrinks the safety margin, and makes it dangerous if a formerly "normal" dose is injected after a relapse.

Not for the deceased, at least.
> new/modified proteins in resulting male mosquitoes that their immune systems don’t recognize

What have I missed about the immune system interacting with mosquitoes? The primary immune response I'm aware of that an organism would have with its food would be a food allergy. Are you worried that the genes would jump from a human-biting mosquito species to a bird-biting species and the males would somehow mutate to also bite? Mosquitoes don't infect the animals they bite, so I don't think our allergic immune responses to their bites are beneficial in any way.

Also, ever since a wilderness survival course in a Wisconsin forest in the mid 1990s exposed me to tons of mosquito bites, my immune response to female mosquito saliva is very suppressed to non-existent. (I no longer swell up or feel itchy when bitten. I presume I still have some immune response that could be measured by some blood test, but it's nothing I can notice, even if I look closely at a spot where I've seen a mosquito bite me.) Is there something I need to worry about my reduced immune response to mosquitoes?
