There are mechanisms to inform the user of this. Tech magazines etc. should be the ones responsible for informing the user that they are being locked in, even if the HW is good.

But in reality, most people know. It's just that they tell themselves they won't ever want to do a thing until they kinda do and at that point they just bought the wrong product for that purpose.
I feel like there is something terribly ironic in punks becoming protected by the government.
In addition to the transcoding performance raised by others, the real cost sink in Youtube competitor is not transcoding but bandwidth. It is extremely expensive at any serious scale. YT by itself does not make any or significant money for Google.
Huh, what about the go spec do you like?

To me it always struck me as overly casual and loose compared to other languages, and reads more like a guide.
I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case:

* Peace and quiet. It's quite evident whenever I visit a city, but it is, of course, a matter of getting used to it.

* Safety. Out here I only need to worry about the casual pack of wolves, or getting run over by a drunk neighbour out on the road with a tractor. Where I lived before, getting stabbed or shot during a mugging was an actual risk.

* It's away from the grind. Working from home, no matter if you do farm work or just work remotely, is much quieter than being in an office and you are able to concentrate and work uninterrupted in a way that simply isn't possible in most office environments.

* No commuting.

* An active lifestyle without having to resort to things like going to the gym.

* Community. Most people don't know their own neighbours. Out here, people stick together because there really isn't many other options. That's both a blessing and a curse, though.

Independence and self-reliance are nice bonuses, but they really just come with the lifestyle; you can't live on a farm without some of both.
It would be better read in a way such as 'unreasonably surprising'
You can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

I grew up in a farming area, and worked on farms as a teen.

There's nothing good about it if you need the farm to make a living.

The wisdom for the past few decades is to have a city job to subsidize the farm.

I have relatives (a couple) who sadly quit their city jobs and bought a farm without local office jobs. They lost everything, even though the husband grew up on a family farm. Common sense isn't that common.

On the other hand, I have friends who grew flowers until weed was legalized, and they switched crops and are making millions now. Already had the land, greenhouses and equipment, just changed the seeds one year. Bam!
Yes, America would be less polarized if everyone skipped {Google,Facebook,Twitter} and loaded cnn.com and foxnews.com side by side every day.
That's awesome! Thanks for the new framing of the algorithm.

Lamport's reply seems unnecessarily dismissive. It's true that different framings and analogy are "weaker" than rigorous understanding. But they are also pathways to it! Digging into something complex is hard, and having a mental model of which pieces interact together and why is one way to make it approachable enough to actually get into the proofs and the rigor.
Most people don't expect Github/Gitlab/Microsoft/etc. to stand up necessarily in courts against such takedowns.They would just like at least a notification or just an appeal process.(See the mechanism that Google has in place on Youtube)

Frankly this youtube-dl scandal alongside many others(ad blockers, script blockers,etc) is just one of a lengthy series of events from the dinosaurs of the internet that battle for revenue that is immensely falling. This is mostly about money and nothing else.

I would also like to say that i think 95%+ of the applications of DMCA are on content that is palpable and makes sense "of taking down", not some software or code that nobody really can have a monopoly on.They therefore applied this law not in the spirit it was intended to, but in some disregarding fashion of how internet software & communications work.

By the same logic any tool that is used to download/stream internet content is vulnerable, and when you take a closer look that might actually include a lot of software if not the majority of all software.

It is about permissions. You can autoplay video just fine with HTML5. But you can't do it with sound. And how would your WebAssembly decoded video play sound? Right, using the exact same HTML5 media elements. WebAssembly doesn't allow you to somehow do different things in the page. It only allows some computations but to actually have any output it has to resort to the same APIs that your normal JS uses.

Well, I'm sure they do in a lab perhaps. Ball tracking algorithms and software will be 50 years old.

it's an ad industry thing, not a site thing. The ad industry would really have to build the solution to host on the sites, and the problem then becomes making something every site can reasonably host, and all the headaches associated with that.

And I have the suspicion that doing it wouldn't add much to the bottom line of the company who invested in it, despite how much they like to complain about ad-blockers.
The problem is: Installing software on a phone hasn't ever been "normal" before a few years ago, and since then, it has never really been about installing any random program like it is on PC.

We're right in the middle of shift of perspective where smart-phones stop being just cellphones with some extra features but actually peoples main access to general computing.

But to many they still are just "phones", and tech companies are taking advantage of this situation to shape the mentality around them in a different way than with desktop computing. This is their right, although it's obviously evil.

It's the media (tech magazines, youtube channels, etc.) that should be clearing up these misconceptions, but the sad reality is, people don't care. If I try explaining to a non-IT friend why installing any random software is essential, they look at me like I'm wearing a tin foil hat. People don't understand how quickly computation is turning into an important aspect of freedom.
Almost empty .NET executables are 8 KB. Almost empty MSVC executables are less than 64 KB.
Web-based makes it simple. But we need to run serverside code which connects to DB. But auth & auth can be externalized. If Desktop client, it has to support mac, windows & linux. And use auth & auth of DB. Another thing is, if it has to support multiple types of DB, eg MySQL, Postgres etc., it will get complex.

What/who does the "You" in YouTube stand for. From where I sit, it never stood for RIAA members the commercial works they profit from. Recall the Time magazine "Man of the Year" cover many years ago circa the debut of YouTube. It was, IIRC, supposed to be mirror. The "you" that was named "Man of the Year" was not meant to be a RIAA member corporation. It was meant to be an ordinary, non-commercial internet user. The entertainment industry has "taken over" what I thought was a resource for non-commercial internet users to share video. Here we are seeing the resulting effects of acquiescing to that "takeover". I would guess most content on YouTube is in fact non-commercial, true to the website's original purpose, which arguably makes youtube-dl useful for non-commercial purposes. However, it seems that is not what Microsoft thinks. The (passive-aggreesive) "corporatisation" of the internet (via the web). Lame.
I'm not disputing that. I'm saying jfrunyon's comment is stupid.

I think coercion is the biggest issue with online electronic voting. In paper ballot format it's illegal to have someone else in the booth with you, but if everyone votes from home, there's no way to guarantee that the person voting doesn't do it some obligation.

The irony is that Gelman has spent quite some time lately criticizing Silver et al. for forcing too much uncertainty into their model.
That's pretty much what they did with the i740 back in the day, isn't it? It ain't stupid if it works.
> To think if the whole community could do this you could have more sustainability and variety and setup local farmers markets to shop local-to-table.

I go to a farmers' market in the Bay Area. It draws farmers from a 100-150 mile radius. Being California, you get produce from a lot of different climates; some things need a cool coastal climate, some need the heat of the central valley. You also see the season of crops move. Things usually start in the south where it's a bit warmer, and the season (and vendors carrying) that crop moves north over the next few months.

The community approach can really only get you some amount of diversity in produce that does well in your area, and maybe a bit from the soil type. Talk to anyone who's grown squash will tell you there's a month where their one plant has more squash than they know what to do with. The problem is everyone in the community has the same squash surplus at the same time.

I appreciate the idea, I just think that produce production will always tent towards hobbyists and professionals because of economies of scale.
I’m sure Harvard and Yale say the same thing when accepting applicants to their university. I think the thing to consider is how prestige gives an applicant a considerable amount of more sway in an interview process. Also, I worked with a person that moved on to working at Google after working in our project and that individual was considered to be a very poor programmer unfortunately.
Does it also add other concerns, such as the user uploading different content at different resolutions?

WebRTC doesn't add anything for his usecase of playing local files. WebRTC is an API to let the browser stream data (including video/audio) over the network. If the browser can play the given video by supporting that codec then you can play it using a HTML5 <video> element directly from local disk. No network communication needed.

Victoria to build southern hemisphere's biggest Tesla battery
The ad nauseam repetition of memes like "considered harmful" or "unreasonable..." is too much.
So it's more of a battery rather than a fuel. I wonder what the energy density and longevity is compared to other industrial batteries. On a side note, what's the point of a brewery (single business) using it? Do they have some unique energy requirements?
> They're just kind of ignored since nobody "chooses" to use an Intel GPU in their computer. You just get one bundled in your CPU, until now that is.

They made a fork of the dmca repository, and pushed the commit to their fork.

But Github uses the same single Git repository for all forks, and they have an issue where you can access a branch/commit of a fork from the main repository if you know its hash. They should probably fix that at some point.
Have you ever smelled a goat?
But something that causes the results everywhere to be off in the same direction isn't the kind of error you say "well, that's why you don't make point predictions" about. It's a factor that has a significant, predictable influence on the phenomenon you're studying; if it's not in your model, that means you screwed up when making the model. The whole point of the model is to account explicitly for such factors.

I know some farmers and they all have one thing in common: they work around the clock, 7 days a week. No days off or vacations. Their farms might be worth millions, but it's also both their home and their job.

Also, a lot of people don't get that a farm (anything other than subsistence farming) is a business. It requires careful long term planning, crop rotation, dealing with buyers, collectives, auctions, risk mitigation and pricing. The farmers I know are all extremely proficient with spreadsheet software and most of them attended the Agricultural University two towns from here. Farmers are often regarded as a bit simplistic country boys, but the opposite is true.

I don't envy them.
UK gov is, I was asked to participate (I declined). They even pay you quite a bit of money for the trouble.

It’s a decentralized version control system though! It seems tough to make the argument that M$ are trying to suppress free software speech through GitHub. Literally, a Git project can be redistributed immediately if it was ever taken down by GitHub so the argument that M$ is trying to control open source seems pretty soft.
I guess it's difficult and expensive to deploy a ruby on rails application on premise without giving some kind of source code.
Electronic voting changes the threat model which opens the door for large scale voting fraud which is impossible with the current system.

Also in the US you don’t have a single election, you have 50 individual elections all with different ballots and different rules, the federal government doesn’t run the elections in each state.
This means that you’ll have 50 different systems.
There is little that technology can do with a system that already provides transparency by having a physical hard copy of each vote cast and allowing essentially any citizen to become an observer.

Interesting - essentially the iron is oxidised to release energy, then deoxidised using renewable energy. So it's another way of buffering renewable energy, which doesn't require a large body of water to store it. I'd be interested to know the overall efficiency of the process, but it sounds great - on the surface.
I don't know how things are in your jurisdiction, but here in Europe making a profit on farming just isn't possible. This sector lives and dies by subsidies.

You're going to have a cash crop or market the hell out of your product, both seem opposite to the goal of starting the farm in the first place.
This article falls well short of providing “the” reason. It presents a hypothesis and then supports it with a single data point. I also don’t see how indirect polling is going to put Nate Silver out of business. You will still need models to aggregate polls and find correlations between voting behavior across communities. That said, indirect polling does sound like an interesting tool.

Have you ever taken psychedelics? I've used mushrooms, lsd, and a few others probably over a hundred times and one of the things that really seperates these drugs from others such as caffeine, alcohol, mdma, amphetamines, etc. is that there's no noticeable comedown except that the experience fades away and I am tired (as I would be after any intense experience). On the contrary, I usually feel really good after taking psychedelics, often for a period of days or weeks afterwards.

People's experience will vary of course, and if you have a bad or unpleasant trip you won't feel good afterwards. However, in my experience, the majority of people don't experience comedown after taking psychedelics.
