> Unfortunately, companies have to respond to even grossly incorrect DMCA requests to avoid liability

No, they don't, because if they are grossly incorrect, there's no liability to avoid.

They have to respond to even grossly incorrect though facially valid DMCA requests to avoid the costs of trying to evaluate whether DMCA requests that are facially invalid are sufficiently grossly incorrect as to present no real risk of liability.

> there's no recourse against abusive requests.

Sure there is, civil action for defamation
For years I read the US counterarguments that us healthcare is better than the countries with public.

Then I moved to CA and got health insurance from work, using UCLA health as my main network.

It's the exact same. I go to see my PCP and she's literally trying to just go through lists of things, is routinely late, and response to 90% of issues is a recommendation to go to another doctor.

Literally the exact same experience.
self-forgiveness is definitely a key, but also analyzing the failure fairly is also tremendously helpful. Trying to remove all distraction, and going on/off on a "wave-like" rebound pattern is very common, and sure persistence might help for some.

A slightly more fool-proof approach is to try to do a introspection on "how" and what part of the distraction you are coming back for, and gradually remove these.

For example, I had problem with Facebook long time ago. I tried to delete it from phone, block news-feed on browser with extension, but still couldn't get rid of it entirely. After a bit of introspection, I realized checking facebook is actually not a problem at all, getting stuck on it was. So, I took my time to analyze what part of facebook did steal my attention. I pin-pointed it down to a couple of news pages, group & liked pages, and about 90% of my friends posts. So I blocked all the news pages, groups & linked pages, unfollowed 90% of my friends.

I still check facebook, but each time I check it, its about 20-30 sec MAX, and since the content is 99% boring or insignificant, it doesn't steal my attention at all. When facebook became this to me, deleting it (and NOT re-installing) from the phone became a very painless process.

Hacker News is my new hit though.
The relevant parts of that wiki article:

> Adams noticed that the last 200 ballots were different from the rest. The color of the ink and handwriting used on the tally sheet appeared to be identical, and they were in alphabetical order.

> Supreme Court Justice, Hugo Black, ruled that the federal government was not allowed to get involved with a state election. This ruling won Johnson the election
You’re reaching to find racism in a place where it doesn’t exist. Pretty bad faith attempt at understanding the point he was making.

Pointing to a country’s president as example of how black people are no longer underclass is akin to saying “he did it, why can’t you?”.
I don't know about performance benchmarks to other DBs or scale, but I ran read and write benchmarks and saw 1000s op/s and felt satisfied enough. It won't be faster than filesystem unless you mount the DB directory to a RAM disk.

For my use case, speed was not the most important, instead it was using common tools on the DB, being human-readable, in JSON and git diff-able. Also, I wanted small resource usage and small library size.

Seems like you'd already know this, but money doesn't just grow on trees. No ads just means content costs viewers more out-of-wallet dollars. Hulu has a cheap subscription with ads, or a more expensive one without them. HBO doesn't have ads... and you have to pay extra to add it to your cable package. Your "funding" concept is simply a higher price tag.

> Twenty years of poor adoption world-wide demonstrates its lack of easy integration. I don't need to argue this, you just did.

This isn't down to the design of v6 though, it's down to two things: the design of v4, and human laziness.

v4 isn't forwards compatible with a larger address space, so there's no way to magically integrate a larger address space with existing v4 nodes. All of the possible ways to make cross-compatibility easier are already available in v6. Updating the internet's L3 protocol is simply a hard problem with no real shortcuts.

As for human laziness: v6 deployment didn't really start until 2013. Deployment was at 1% in 2013, and is at 30-35% today. People put it off until after the RIRs started running out of addresses to allocate, even at the cost of paying extra money to keep v4 working. This isn't a technology problem, it's a human problem.

> even for something as simple as setting up a gaming server with a few friends.

This isn't even possible in v4 for a lot of people today, due to v4 exhaustion. It's going to become less and less possible over time, as v4 exhaustion gets ever more acute. Even if we took at face value your claims that v6 is unintuitive (which I would disagree with), surely it's better to be able to set a gaming server up with v6 than to not be able to do it at all?
Learning Finnish takes time, dedication, and willingness to do it on one's own f you want to master it. I belong to the Swedish-speaking minority here, and there's plenty of people in the Swedish-speaking areas that know little to no Finnish, despite learning it in school and living in Finland.

If you want to learn Finnish, go for it. Just don't expect it to be easy. :)

> they aren't - investment is supposed to increase the efficiency of production, thus increasing the availability of said product. The issue here is that land is scarce, and can be made more scarce by various laws. Building/construction costs have decreased somewhat, but the major cost is the land, and lack of density leads to lower supply.

You may have misunderstood, I'm suggesting it's not possible for something to remain perpetually affordable and be a good investment. A good investment becomes less affordable over time. A bad investment does the opposite.

For instance, nobody complains about how unaffordable AAPL shares are do they? That wouldn't make a lick of sense because that's the desired outcome. That's why you invest.

If you want housing to be affordable you don't invest, you buy. Like a car.
That reflects my experience of Finland as well. Although, in my 20th I found Helsinki a bit boring, but I'm sure it will attract lots of people.
Agree with you on language, indeed I can't get the logic of ppl, complaining about the necessity of learning the language of the country you're moved to.
Yeah, Apple's page titles generally suck, especially when they are presented without context. The big things in this one is that they're pushing fixes to devices that people had considered abandoned for almost two years, and that these fixes explicitly mention that they have been exploited in the wild in what I believe is Apple's second admission of this, and the first time they did so without blaming Google Project Zero of a mischaracterization. That's clearly a bit too much to put in a title, but something like "Apple releases iOS 12.4.9, backporting fixes for severe security vulnerabilities". I'd like to put "exploited in the wild" in there somewhere as well since I think it's an important part of the story, but I am not sure if this would keep it neutral.
Turn it off?
Wow this title is really confusing. If "Workers" are read as "employees", then the conclusion is false and depends on the use-case, especially as organizational/communication overhead scales quadratically (N choose 2) and reduces marginal value of every additional worker. It appears the author is talking about background workers processing task queues. This title should be changed to avoid confusing people who don't read articles and only read titles.
>Twitter is a very public place

These kind of comments always rub me the wrong way.

My basic argument against this is: if Twitter/Facebook is a public space, then why are twitter/facebook/other staff allowed to restrict your access to it? There have been literally countless times that this has happened without people violating any laws that would apply in real life(or even their own TOS in some cases).

This is to say that twitter is not run by the government,and while that idea sounds scary,the point is that a private citizen is not able to remove you/your speech from a public space in real life.This is besides the fact that these platforms claim both publisher status and the right to censor because "they're private companies"(which they are, but the contradiction is clear when we're talking about them being "hosting public places").Most people forget the uneven playing field because of their addiction to these platforms.

We either treat them fully as private companies or begin developing a "bill of rights" on the internet, unless of course we keep treating everyone (including the government) as 2-nd class citizens compared to the owners of these platforms.(Who can de facto "virtually jail" everyone without repercussions)
While not a part of the geographic area called Scandinavia, Finland is very much a Nordic country.

The healthcare system here is pretty comparable to the other Nordic countries, although there are some differences. The quality of care depends a lot on your particular health issues and the place you live, though.
> A lot of the most talented move to the US for higher pay ... I've noticed we don't get the 'best'

That doesn't match my experience. Several of my classmates who went to major Canadian medical schools also had offers from "top" US schools but stayed in Canada because the quality of education is good and they didn't want to pay $300k+ for their degree. Maybe there's certain top specialists that can only be found at Hopkins or Mayo in the US, but that's not where most Americans are going (even within the 1%).

The doctors I've seen in Canada are equally competent to the American ones in my experience (at "good" but not "world-class" clinics), but I will concede that the American ones take more time with their patients and seem more aggressive with testing and treatment.

In a world without a level playing field, the solution to poor quality industrial policy is better industrial policy.

Foreign subsidies don’t result in a net transfer of wealth if they undercut your otherwise competitive domestic industry, for obvious reasons. It results in a misallocation of capital and the erosion of opportunities that should have otherwise existed domestically.

All countries engage in free market distortion, to varying degrees. That may well be a suboptimal use of their resources, but unfortunately it also hurts countries that don’t respond in kind and who have bought into some simplified economic policy slogans.

There is no such thing as a non-acute dental issue. A filling can wait for a couple weeks max before possibly becoming a real acute issue. You are only aware of the cavity until it starts to hurt, which means already late.

A good rule of thumb is to have a CT scan every year for early detection. I have been doing it for the last 5 years and boy it did save me from lots of pain. Lots of cavities are hiding unseen and with no pain.

Gradle can also do everything imaginable, we've managed to get rid of basically all our horrible bash scripts and wrote most build stuff using Gradle API and using a proper programming language (put actual code in Gradle's buildSrc/, only configure it in build.gradle, and you've got a extremely powerful build).

I mean, it's no more arbitrary than any other order. In the context of "why does American English use this ordering", it has the desirable characteristic that it matches how we express dates in our everyday language. A trade-off exists between that characteristic and the desire to have the date go from smallest to largest or vice versa, but both approaches have practical benefits.

> References can be copied
> But it doesn’t do the same thing as assigning to them

I think, that's not a good mental model for references.
A reference is an opaque data type.
The initial assignment is "taking a reference" and all later operations work the same, as you would refer to the referenced object itself.

So

int& r2 = r1; // r2 now points to i, like r1

I would rather say

int& r2 = r1; // r2 now references i, like r1

Because it isn't a pointer. It may be implemented as one (e.g. when passing arguments to functions), but in this case, I don't think, even that will happen. You just have another name for the same object.
Augtool from the Augeas project too. (As well as the mentioned gron)
A couple of reasons.

Economic one first: Capital investment in publicly owned utilities lags that of private-sector utilities because the former are typically local/regional monopolies.

That can lead to moderate problems when the utility in question is something like municipal water -- maybe grandma's meter breaks and she never gets a bill in 10 years or city workers struggle to meet updated standards as the equipment ages out.

But with something that evolves as fast an internet use? You're likely committing future generations to using last-gen (or worse) tech because upgrades are expensive and there's no local competition to nudge the provider to upgrade.

The other argument is simple politics: If the city owns/controls the pipes, there will be a contingent of voters that want to control content (say, pornography) and a contingent of politicians ready to accommodate them. All of which flies wholly in the face of First Amendment protections covering how the government can('t) regulate speech.

The combination of cries from the public and very limited options will make this a political briar patch after a few cities stub their toes on high-profile cases.

This is the correct answer.

If you're a single software engineer, don't come to Helsinki. Go to SV or somewhere where they pay you mid six figures to work your ass off 16 hours a day.

But if you're either too old to find that exciting or have children, Finland is a great place to live. Just the subsidised child care itself will make it worth it. No "college funds" either.

Let's address the elephant in the room since tons of this style of HN posts are appearing all of a sudden: this is probably the most uncertain period of time in most of our lives. No matter who wins the election, it will be close and there will be a legal battle. Many people will be upset with the outcome.

Retreating into conspiracy theories is well known to be a coping mechanism for dealing with exactly these types of fears. Fixating on articles about election fraud in the US over the next couple of days is the same as diving into wikipedia about the materials science of steel beams after the 9/11 terrorist attacks because you want to believe that it was an inside job. I'm also seeing stuff pop up on here about Benford's law which is uncertain science at best [1].

The next few weeks will be a difficult time for our country and we need to be prepared to accept the results of the election without devolving into conspiracy theories. We should carefully consider whether our sudden "academic interest" in the history of fraud is real or has more to do with a wish to rationalize what we are seeing in the US today.

Getting cross-contamination level between households down to effectively zero, and keeping it there long enough for 2 infection cycles is the hard part.

Australia managed it eventually.

A number of Asian countries have done well too. Possibly off the back of experience dealing with the prior SARS/MERS scares.

Some of the African countries have done pretty well, possibly because of experience dealing with Ebola.

Zerodium is not generally paying out $2MM for vulnerabilities and the people who acquire vulnerabilities from Zerodium aren't monetizing them directly off the installed base of phones.

An important thing to know about the market for these things is that the "clearing price" of an exploit chain is usually a cap, not an actual price; you're paid in tranches, until the vulnerability is burned. You're hoping it isn't burned before all your tranches are paid.

That has implications for the hypothetical business model you've proposed.
Auctions feel unfair to consumers. The free marketing hype from the product selling out may be worth a lot more to them than selling a few consumer-grade units for high prices at auction. It’s possible AMD knowingly targeted stock levels and prices to cause the sellout.

For the real high-value users they have completely different products for sale to capture that margin at even higher prices (Epyc, Tesla).
