But does it necessarily follow that law enforcement budgets will be cut if weed is legalised?

Ideally, how might the budget be reconfigured constructively with the same dollar amount to make a better community?
Those things have large negative externalities that the individual doesn’t pay for.

For very large Google Photo libraries, you may need to break your library into a series of albums. I had to do this for my wife before Takeout finally decided it could generate an archive instead of "oops! we couldn't make your archive! lol!".

Not even that. The phone is the center of our lives, so it really only needs to be on our phones (if people even care about IoT--this is an open question).

This is Mercedes Benz taking its internal worldview that the car is the center of our lives, making product decisions based on that, and trying to get people to buy into that worldview.
It specifically doesn't require that for logistical reasons. See, eg, the "desert island test" from DFSG. If you aren't able to contact upstream to send them your changes, such a requirement would effective forbid you from making changes to the software.
GQL has solved legitimate problems for us at scale, and is flexible enough to be used on some of our smaller projects as well.

I don't see the tradeoff that people are talking about, with GQL there has been nothing but upside.
Right, like this whole effort. A bit of an overstep for simple ID purposes, when fundamentally it still depends on somebody looking at the picture and making a call.
It's one thing to put the best minds in charge of a no-win response and for it to fail. If Trump had put the best minds in the CDC and the NIAID in charge of the Covid response and just allowed them to do their thing (instead of undermining them at every turn), that would be one thing.

Instead he puts his son in law in charge of the Coronavirus response, so we are all left to wonder how it could have been if the experts were in charge. Maybe it would be different, maybe it's a no win situation like you said. But at least then we would know there was nothing more to do. No one would be wondering "Maybe things would have been different if Jared Kushner were put in charge of this..."

We all see the pandemic and how it affects our lives. When Trump tells us that it's no big deal, that it's a media hoax that will go away with the election, that doesn't make him look good. That's a choice he's making to do that. It didn't have to be this way.
I don't understand your meaning. Texas and Georgia are almost blue at least partly because minority voters overwhelmingly vote blue, and the proportion of minorities has been increasing over time. Changing that vote share to 60-40 instead of 80-20 would do quite a lot to solidify republicans in those states.

And with Trump showing that it's possible to increase the Republican vote share among minorities... I'd expect political strategists to focus more effort there in the future. A self-fulfilling prophecy, in a way.

There is nothing preventing those users to publish that exact thing for the world to see. The GPL ensures that they can absolutely do that, so your point is moot.
It's a cuck test. They want to know up front that you'll take abuse. If you "fail", by standing up for yourself, then they'll just work with some other interchangeable would-be founder who's more of a "culture fit".

Legal fees are a rounding error to these companies. It's all about the "power move". They don't want to work with people who'll stand up for themselves over "a measly" $50K.

From the hn guidelines: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

I think with older hardware you have to be quite careful about how stuff is drawn to the screen. For example if the distro comes with a display compositor enabled by default, you might want to disable it or see if there is a faster alternative. You might want to avoid watching videos in the browser where it has to composit the video with everything else on the page in a relatively inefficient manner, and instead stick to watching videos with something like mpv where it can draw straight to the screen, and make sure to configure it with whichever video output seems to be fastest on your hardware, etc etc.
That calculus is taken into account for projections. (notably, the PA call was done after the margin hit right outside of recount range)
Recruiting and Hiring for Remote Positions
The thing is that Republicans, or more precisely, those on the right, aren't even hiding this. They openly state it. Republic, not democracy is the latest form of this rallying cry.

The financiers of the right are increasingly open about not wishing for a democracy in the US. The similarity here with the industrialists during the Weimar Republic is by the way striking.
Your metadata will also be scrambled or stripped as well. GPS almost certainly will be missing. I had a number of images where they _changed the captured-at times in the metadata_ (thanks?) to obviously-incorrect times (and not just a timezone-offset error): like, a sunset shot that they changed to 3am, and retained the timezone offset.
Chrome doesn't support hardware acceleration video decode on Linux at all. There's some unofficial patches for VaAPI support if you want to carry those around, but the Pi 4 also changed decoder support and it's generally all just a messy disaster.

Low-res video can be software decoded fine, but once you start pushing 1080p or 4k it's not going to go well at all.
I'm all for nuance, but I can't imagine this being the hill people want to die on RE: censorship. As long as the calls for violence aren't overt we're cool with them? I might be in the minority but I don't have a problem lumping plain old hate speech in with inciting violence. I'm trying to imagine the best possible take on what Trump is trying to do by tweeting incendiary misinformation and I just can't get there.
The difference between lateral violence and state violence is that one is a result of generations of oppression, and the other is oppression by the state

And AOC openly calls for hunting down Trump supporters: "Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? ". So much for political freedom.
This is precisely why I love the GPL.
This is in reference to the American standard business practice ("American Rule") whereby each party to a transaction pays its own legal bills. It is not necessarily connected to the more general American work culture (which I agree is as you characterized it, although I hope that changes with the recent defeat of the final boss of Boomer capitalism).
Exactly. The "rat race of bullshit" is not incidental but intrinsic to the relationship between the megacorps and the advertising industry.
I will pay for it because it's a really good product and I want to have it. I agree that the fee doesn't guarantee Google will always keep the product around, but it certainly seems to signal some investment in Google Photos.
Anecdotal, but alcohol is one of the more harmful drugs. I can't even drink a little bit now that I run semi-seriously. One or two glasses of wine completely throws off my body for the next 24 hours, and increases the risk for injuries. It's just not worth it.
Not to make people nervous or anything but the US has had a president with non-consecutive terms before. It's not implausible to imagine Trump continuing to direct the Republican party while out of office.

That’s not wrong but does misrepresent history.

For many years a 3 layer network (1 input, 1 hidden, 1 output) was the standard and considered sufficient, thanks to several relevant but non constructive approximation theorems (mostly one due to Kolmogorov and one due to Cybenko, if I am not mistaken).

They were also considered practically required because everyone was using sigmoids which have a vanishing gradient problem.

Several things were needed to break away to where we are now: unbounded functions (like ReLU) to avoid vanishing moments; a lot more layers; a lot more parameters and compute power.

When Schmidhuber (and later Hinton) showed that many-layer nets work well, that was non trivial and almost revolutionary.

It is now trivial and all nets are “deep”. But that wasn’t the case when the breakthroughs were made, and the terminology stuck.
Everyone says that but does anyone actually try it? At 30 years old I already have my beverage preferences, if I never saw a Pepsi ad again Coke would still be too sweet for me. Who are these people who are swayed by this? Who hasn't tried both and determined a preference already?
I've been using natural keyboards forever (currently an MS Sculpt), but they've always had the two sides fixed to each other. I can see how being able to orient each side separately might be nice, and it's infinitely adjustable, but I worry that I'd get annoyed that I can't move the keyboard as a unit, and I'm happy enough with the default split-key layout (though I might prefer slightly more tenting).

How much does having the sides separate help?

I think a big problem too is that SSD prices haven't gone down fast enough. Basically the only reason that spinning rust is still a thing, is because SSDs are far more expensive.

> GPL is not necessarily for developers to get productive work done.

Try getting some productive work done without the source. Like fixing a printer of a proprietary driver, for instance. No, the GPL is about exactly about getting practical work done. That's why it emphasizes so much on the 4 essential freedoms, and why 3 of those 4 freedoms are essentially the same thing "the freedom to tinker with the source code and share that information with other developers who can tinker with it some more and do the same".
That sent a chill down my spine. A giant red glowing: "WARNING".
How do the execs plan to handle the problem?

How aware are the execs about the situation? Or is it primarily the engineers, maybe technical managers, who can see the problem currently?

I realize that these articles are well intentioned, but I really wish the authors would take a more measured approach. My general advice prior to switching to Linux is: use open source applications under your existing operating system first and ensure the distribution works by testing it on the installation media prior to installing it.

The diving in head first approach has two big drawbacks. You are learning everything at once. That can be a painful process, particularly for people who know how to use a particular piece of software and have never generalized their skills. The second problem is that Linux (or particular Linux distributions) doesn't work well with some hardware. It is easier to shrug that off if you find that out prior to installing and spending hours troubleshooting.

Two other thoughts: choose Linux for what it is rather than choosing it for what it isn't. If you're switching to Linux because it is more performant on older hardware is good. Switching to Linux because your old operating system is slow is setting a mindset to hate Linux. Also keep in mind that switching to Linux is a personal decision and it's okay to say that Linux is not for you. No one is forcing the switch: not the old vendor you dislike and not the enthusiastic advocates.

I'm sorry if this rubs some people the wrong way, but I believe that most of these articles are setting people up to hate Linux rather than embrace it. That is saddening since it is a great operating system that makes life so much easier if you approach it with an open mind.

Across the board, the GOP would need to convert minorities to consistent GOP voters faster than the electorate conversion (where the electorate tilts progressive) occurs naturally due to older voters dying and newer voters turning 18 or naturalizing, and this conversion needs to happen even faster in states that are turning blue (to overcome sociopolitical demographic momentum). I will add that just because Trump was able to pull more minority votes doesn't mean the GOP will be able to do the same; different messaging. Someone supporting Trump is unlikely to vote for Mitt Romney (who is, imho, a reasonable conservative), for example. Also, historically, the GOP typically doesn't put forth public policy that is friendly to most minorities and immigrants.

Sorry my thesis wasn't clear, although I appreciate the opportunity to refine the message. Better to get the kinks out here before speaking to an audience IRL.
Seeing as how RedHat is a thing, and I'm typing this from Trisquel Linux, I'd say it's working very well.

The long term costs of object storage in the public cloud
Yes, Trump underperformed relative to 2016 - and yet the Republicans made gains in the House, and maintained control of the Senate. The fact that the presidential race is close enough to still be under contention days after election night should be evidence enough that there wasn't a significant blue wave!
It was clear to me looking at the PA numbers that Biden had this in the bag by Wednesday morning. All you had to do was look at the fact that even though Trump won the early red states, he was not performing as well as he did in 2016. There was a lot made out of FL going for Trump early on, and he was in fact up there compared to 2016. But that was pretty much one of the only places he was. He ran down 3 in TX, down 5 in GA, down 2 in NC, down 2 in IA, down 4 in WY, down almost 7 in MT and KS, down 7 in ME, down 7 in NH.

All told by the end of Tuesday he was down in 30+ states (as it is settling now, he's down in 38 states compared to his 2016 margin). He won PA, MI, and WI by less than a point each in 2016. So if Trump was seeing shifts of 3 away from him in Texas, it didn't take a psychic to know he'd be losing those states he won at such a small margin.

If you looked at the numbers in PA on Wednesday morning, what you saw were tons out outstanding ballots in Lehigh, Bucks, Monroe, Philadelphia, and Allegheny counties, all counties that went for Clinton in 2016. You combine that with the fact that Democrats returned mail-in ballots at a rate of 65% compared to 23% for Republicans, and this thing seemed inevitable since about Wednesday morning.
> Perhaps what we call globalisation is a poorly designed, tax-evading, fragile, energy-wasting system.

Oh boy yes indeed.
The problem we have on the Left is that even though 65% of the American population prefers our ideas (when stripped of D/R labels) they don't really like us. We're not very good at branding, and we've let Capital convince half the country that it's actually a "liberal elite" that is holding them down.

We need to get better at getting our actual message out there. The recent victory is a start, but if it were down to ideas rather than personality politics (and, you know, other stuff the other side uses) we'd be up by 20 points in every state.
All of them, it's part of the founding UN treaties, as far as I know.

I’m laughing too much at this. Agree “I’m making a $15mm investment I need you to cover my up to $100k in legal fees. If you can’t do that, deal off.” Has always sounded funny to me.

But if you need money it’s just one of those things you have to do.

I think what should happen is the whole syndicate should share in total legal fees pro-rata or something. That way the lead isn’t wearing all the legal fees.

Also think this is based some in the standard practice of banks passing through their legal fees to those they lend to.
