I could diasgree about the unit tests because I could argue the script only circumvents copy controls, not access controls (if any member of the public can access those videos on YouTube). Because the RIAA letter provided no location of an infringing copy to be taken down, I can argue the letter cannot be a section 512 notice. Further, the content taken down by Github in response to this letter was not an infringing copy.

It is not clear that the unit tests, if performed, amounted to anything more than fair use. Under the DMCA, it is not necessarily infringement for the script author to circumvent copy controls; section 1201 prohibits sharing copy control circumvention technology with others but does not prohbit the act of copy control circumvention.

If one wanted to make the argument that DMCA 512 safe harbor applies to a section 1201 notice, then I am surprised there has been no mention of "material that is the subject of infringing activity". This language is found in section 512 and in many standard DMCA notice instructions, e.g., Microsoft's

https://www.microsoft.com/info/MSDMCA.html

The youtube-dl script itself is not infringing material. However is it "material that is the subject of infringing activity". If the script only works to circumvent copy controls not access controls, then those unit tests, i.e., the making of unauthorised copies, that may have been performed by the developers, i.e., suspected "infringing activity", are subject to a defense of fair use. If it is fair use then it is not infringing activity and the script cannot be "material that is the subject of infringing activity".
If regulators wanted to actually go after AirBnB they could do it directly, it's a matter of political will.

It really demonstrated the absurdity and borderline incompetence of a lot of regulatory entities: both Uber and AirBnB operate out in the open even where it's essentially illegal. The Hotel industry lobbies to keep the rules in their favour - and none of us are winners really.

Accommodation rules should probably be opened up somewhat, AirBnB has provided overwhelming evidence of a supply/demand mismatch. The taxi industry is considerably more difficult to redress because the cities have already sold medallions.
I just got a SHRINGRX vaccine which is rated 97% effective. The second dose provoked a much stronger reaction, perhaps because I had some antibodies from the first.

Pope Benedict almost died of shingles in August.
There is a lot of disinformation in that Twitter thread, even aside from the technical errors.
While that may be true, it is equally possible that the engineer did engineer thing with out giving a crap about the assembly thing, this happens alot...
> Which means to me that while this vaccine isn't a magic shield, if you do get it, it will keep you out of the hospital and probably make it a very mild experience.

With an n of 5, isn't this a premature conclusion?
We might need it every winter like the flu shot.
I agree with you on all points, then. I think another overlooked benefit of your proposition is that, as it is, democratically elected government only barely have control over the economy, as it is so global. If we de-globalized a bit then people would have more sovereignty over their economy.
Polar Codes
Ok, obvously I have too little experience in picking locks; or maybe you have different locks than we in Switzerland.
On the contrary, at least in the US I don't worry about the government censoring scientific journal articles about covid that make them look bad. Maybe I am wrong about this.
There I was thinking it was because they haven't discovered the flat white.
Are some of your older relatives not on FB? I've been looking at a way to subscribe people to a digital delivery of photos — we have a loose version of this via a weekly Saturday morning email you can subscribe yourself to (to see what siblings are uploading). It seems like it'd be nice to subscribe additional recipients to emails like these (weekly, monthly) maybe with a way to order their own prints. Do you think that's something you'd sign someone up for?
Apple made server racks many years ago. This new silicon could give them a reason to re-enter that market. In the meantime, the new Mini could be a good fit for a home server.
Being a rube isn't a great hobby either, that's why "fool me once ..." is a famous saying. As are the various versions of "who benefits?".

Pretty decent rules of thumb.

And at a higher level ... who cares if they did it maliciously or because they "panicked", you can't ever know that anyway and either one means you can predict what they will do in similar situations.
This explains a lot, actually. I travel a lot, so I often deal with very bad internet connection quality. I also often have the problem that my keyboard takes a long time to start working again after sleep mode.

I've even gotten the "you don't have a keyboard plugged in" error message on my laptop (because the keyboard hasn't been detected after ~30 seconds).
Well, the liar paradox dates to antiquity, the halting problem has been well known for 70+ years, etc., and yet.... it turns out we can still use logic and software to solve lots of practical problems anyway, simply by avoiding self-referential contradictions and infinite loops.

Arithmetic seems to have a number (so to speak) of practical applications as well.

Perhaps it's a bit like theory vs. practice, or maybe mathematics vs. engineering.
Maybe it's time to ask security questions during SE interviews instead of algos?

I know that security is harder and requires wide grasp of theory and solid proficiency in practice but you know:

bad algo can almost always be rewritten, leak cannot be reverted.

I'll use this opportunity to advertise stuff:

>Capture the Flag (CTF) is a special kind of information security competitions. There are three common types of CTFs: Jeopardy, Attack-Defence and mixed.

>Jeopardy-style CTFs has a couple of questions (tasks) in range of categories. For example, Web, Forensic, Crypto, Binary or something else. Team can gain some points for every solved task. More points for more complicated tasks usually. The next task in chain can be opened only after some team solve previous task. Then the game time is over sum of points shows you a CTF winer. Famous example of such CTF is Defcon CTF quals.

>Well, attack-defence is another interesting kind of competitions. Here every team has own network(or only one host) with vulnarable services. Your team has time for patching your services and developing exploits usually. So, then organizers connects participants of competition and the wargame starts! You should protect own services for defence points and hack opponents for attack points. Historically this is a first type of CTFs, everybody knows about DEF CON CTF - something like a World Cup of all other competitions.

>CTF games often touch on many other aspects of information security: cryptography, stego, binary analysis, reverse engeneering, mobile security and others. Good teams generally have strong skills and experience in all these issues.
Is it possible it was skimmed milk? I can't imagine having whole milk with, say, pizza. Too thick, hides all other flavours.
You can also ask your developers to ponder this question ahead of time if you are interested in better answers.
Hypothesis: large numbers of state actors run influence networks on Twitter and have no clue where to start now that the actors have had years to adapt to the weak response from Twitter.
>10Gbps being uploaded 24/7 to the cloud

that might seem a lot if there's only one server, but it's really not that much considering that it's going to be uploaded from multiple precincts. Wikipedia says there are 21 "districts", so that works out to a 500 Mb/s link per building, which seems pretty modest for a institution.

>20 petabytes stored at any moment if you're holding everything for 180 days.

If it's being stored using aws glacier deep archive, that's only $20k/month. That's probably a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the costs associated with running such a service.
Many long-term sufferers of covid are experiencing symptoms matching Alzheimers, so perhaps they were misdiagnosed as Alzheimers also.
Two-Step Access to Huawei Sandbox Testing-Huawei Developer
Bytecode – Game Programming Patterns
Nonetheless, Erlang is closer to the original OO as implemented by Smalltalk than C++ or Java.
A lot of youtube videos are short and basically small memes, they’ve circulated in every office I’ve ever been in. Netflix movies and series of the other hand, you can reference them but who has the time to watch something like a series?

On the other hand I guess if it’s your lunch break, why not
Most of the time its because the person was young and fit. Unfortunately the majority of people are not healthy.
> That's higher than 5 of the shown previous 10 years.

Isn't the word for that "median"? i.e. this years deaths are the same as average median deaths in the past 10 years?
That’s practically boilerplate for IPO filings and pointing it out is boilerplate for IPO comments.
I would have thought they were already there. Goes to show how truly gigantic the 500 are...
151 out of 30,000 subjects is considered statistically significant. They will reach that number around Thanksgiving.
Lens looks good. I'll try it. Thank you
Bandwidth is still the limiting factor here. Even with on-premise offload and storage, many municipalities aren't built to move the volume of data of recording every officer all the time. Add that cloud services are the bodycam goto which requires an Internet upload speed to match...
I think the main question is: do you need orchestration? Ie scheduling workloads dynamically to different machines. If yes, then ks/Nomad/Swarm. If no and you want minimal overhead then the above is the answer.

I’d also suggest Podman as a Docker alternative, especially for these scenarios. Images and Dockerfiles (and many commands) are 1-to-1 compatible but there are some nice things especially with this scenario.

I wouldn’t say NixOS is controversial, at all, but it’s a very steep learning curve.
Not all ETFs that track an index actually hold every component of the index. They do it by holding representative securities that correlate well with the movements of the index, and supplementing with derivatives when necessary.
> And many of us are tired: tired of lockdown, tired of unsubstantiated nonsense on social media, tired of anti-vaxers, and tired of worrying whether someone we know will suffer severe consequences from this disease (I know many people in the "vulnerable" category, and a couple who've already experienced severe symptoms despite being young).

So you’re projecting your wishes onto others ?

The trials of this vaccine aren’t even over, we don’t know if it stops the spread or for how long it’s effects last.

When it comes to medicine, science and civil rights it can’t be about emotions.

I’m likely to end up taking a vaccine, but I don’t want to be forced to against my will because others want me too. I also think it’s important the results of the trial are properly assessed when completed.

This whole, “just f*^king take the vaccine already” attitude being forced down our throats is the idiotic, reactionary view to me.
Yeah that must be it. Sucks that I didn't cite sources.
FDA requires two months of safety data. Everyone got second dose by Nov 1.

Pfizer is about a week faster.
> Does the Netherlands have a rule that you register with the local public security bureau for wherever you are staying?

Yes, I believe they do (Vreemdelingendienst).
After using Smalltalk for a while, even JavaScript felt closer to the original OO than anything in the spirit of C++ or Java.
Alzheimer’s Research Looks at Hot Spots Across the US
I take the general gist of some of your points, but it might be worth reframing some of your logic. To take just one point, let's go to the casino: you have a 97% chance of winning...pretty great! The downside is that if you lose, we take you out back and shoot you. Do you still want to go?
The unawareness of the people here is worrying. Given its track record of censorships, especially of topics regarding the Uyghurs and Hong Kong, it is just unethical to support such a company.
Thanks for the explanation.

However, I think worrying about the security of TLS is applicable to everything -- it's nothing special to Apple not utilizing the VPN.

It's just as likely that your VPN itself could suffer the exact same problem, or your browser.

And that the mitigation techniques would be the same: reasonably timely security updates.

So it doesn't really seem like there's any higher security risk here? Just the same risk we already accept with everything?
That's like saying that there have been unsafe cars in history without understand which cars and why and why they're unsafe.

There's a lot of unsafe stuff, but this example is so absurdly generalized that it seems either malicious or just so ignorant that it's not even a worthy position to take.
"That's why governments will likely not do it."

Japan did it. Japan learned from the docking of the Princess cruise there and the results from each passenger. Those results were quite interesting.

And death rates by age group are revealing. The young without co-morbidities have great prospects.

September Tokyo study said,
"Boston Children’s Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical School, Boston, say their study suggests that seroprevalence for SARS-CoV-2 rose to almost 50% ..."

These are mainstream medical professionals from USA making findings that Tokyo is at herd immunity.
Well, it seems that they just can't compete, then. If what you are saying is true, then Tesla is in imminent trouble everywhere and needs to step their game up.
Covid didn't become a big thing in Sweden until partway through the year. So the naive scaling which doesn't take that into account will underestimate the problem.
I looked it up a while back and apparently the new SAT is only 4-5 hours long, which really put it in perspective for me how nuts[0] Caltech final exams are (especially when a typical finals week for me has several at once) :-P

[0] I mean this humorously, not insultingly—I also don't regret choosing Caltech in the slightest.
If you work for someone and had an apple computer to work from home, bypassing the VPN would merge your personal life (ip address, location, so on) with your job. All packets that go direct to apple are identified with your real home ip address.

There is a VPN concept called "split tunneling" where your employer can control what data goes through the VPN via work and what data can actually go directly to and fron a destination from your home network.

Employers very cautiously permit or deny this kind of thing - sometimes allowing videoconferencing to use this with specific domains or ip ranges.

Apple goes around all this. They can identify and correlate who works where, where they live and pierce the veil of privacy that should be afforded employees who have to work for someone else.

Also, if there is a vulerability in apple's stuff, some employers would be vulnerable to attacks through the VPN, even though they didn't permit split tunneling.
No worries, I’m assuming you don’t have that yet.
Simpson’s Paradox and the Tyranny of Strata
> Which means to me that while this vaccine isn't a magic shield, if you do get it, it will keep you out of the hospital and probably make it a very mild experience.

Is that conclusion warranted given the small number of people who got it? Perhaps in another population one of those 5 will indeed have severe, hospital-needed symptoms?
Worst Volume Control UIs
I've heard numerous people make this assertion but they don't live in places with legit wind. In parts of the midwest and the rockies it's pleasant outside until the wind hits. Last Saturday Denver area had 30-40 mph sustained winds and higher gusts. There's no ability to eat outside in those conditions - and if you suggest a tent, well you may as well be inside then.
This web app is a useful resource to look at co-morbidities on each state. All of the data sources on here are sourced from the CDC: https://datatrackerapp.com
The whole world doesn’t live in the USA?

You’re making out like me taking this vaccine (not even finished with trials) is the be all and end all. We don’t even know if this vaccine stops the spread to others or just mitigates symptoms. If you think the risks outweigh the rewards, that’s a personal decision you’re making, you don’t make it for me.

We know there are other ways to slow the spread of the virus (Australia), the problem in the USA isn’t the rest of the worlds problem.
Totally anecdotally, the 4 people in my family who got it are all 65+ with multiple underlying issues. It was a bad head cold for a week and half, all recovered. I know, sadly, that isn't the case for so many. I just don't know what to think.
I guess that’s a good enough answer hah. You’re basically rolling the dice, but if you’re honest maybe you won’t get thrown under the bus
I honestly don't care about this Sophomore Dorm Room stuff, as long as we can all at least acknowledge the role of deniability in messaging security. If you want to argue that email isn't messaging, that's fine, I disagree, but at least you'll be vindicating my "never use encrypted email" argument.
Vaccine technology has been developing rapidly for a couple of decades. Biologists could leverage developments earlier conrona viruses like SARS-1 and MERS. Those were controlled before vaccines were deployed.

The tough nut are retroviruses like HIV. 40 years without a HIV vaccines. Though the related feline virus has a vaccine.
Because they're talking about the number of excess deaths in a year. If it's in order to debate a question about Sweden's approach, it should be dated from when Sweden's approach diverged from the approach of others. And it should last 12 months, because that's how long a year is.
I’ve been fortunate in my career thus far, since I was about 14 or so, to have always been in the company of at least one “10x”’er on each of my teams, as the cliche goes. They’re dispersed through various companies nowadays - Stripe, Twitch, Google, FB, Discord, etc etc. But it was interesting and beneficial for me to work alongside them if only because I had decent role models to follow.

This article first puts up a straw man and then switches gears halfway into a different subject. See if you can spot it.

There is no exaggeration. Some people are just far more in tune with the mental models required to do good software work at both a micro and macro level, that any time I see someone trying to play it down I have to ask if these individuals have worked with one of these precocious talented folks.

I also sometimes struggle to understand why anyone would write an article like this. You obviously want to hire the best you can for the best price you can. Anything else is a silly coping mechanism that you can’t face with honesty.

I want to read an article that’s straightforward about how much good work 10x’ers can do and how influential they can be for rest of the team. But this isn’t an article anyone would bother writing because they’re too busy making money to have dick measuring competitions on an online news board.
Interference of in laws in Islam. Till what extent is it okay?
Came to the comments to note this, very bad for UX, but at least you can grey them out, not hide.
As with almost everything, when you try to stretch an analogy or use a single tool for every job, you are going to run into problems. Every tool has limitations and so does OOP.

Employee object is not a representation of the will of the employee. It is an interface with operations that are best naturally acting on an Employee object -- changing its state.
Online Platform for Mastering Japanese
Personally, I absolutely would not—collaboration on sets among undergrads[0], for example, is very common (and even officially encouraged) in my experience.

[0] I can't speak for the graduate experience, but I'd assume it's also non-competitive?
"but you can't deny that usa spends a lot, I mean billions, on aid to Israel, "

If someone want to point out that Congress is influenced by others, and to question that, it's fine.

But indicating that 'Congress is Controlled by the Jews' is an anti-semetic trope.

Also: "What's the excuse now?"

The Israeli-Egyptian conflict was not part of 'the Cold War' nor was it about 'Oil' - it's about regional stability among two regional powers - and the Suez Canal.

Keeping Israel and Egypt away from each other keeps others less likely to start a conflict with Israel - and also provides stability for an important economic throughway - the Suez Canal.

Since the US has participated there's been peace. The investments have yielded great dividends.

That said, it's still a powder keg: there are minor bust ups between Muslim Brotherhood and Israeli soldiers etc. at the border, every example has the opportunity to blow up into something much more. Thankfully, the US has a lot of influence in Egypt and can keep things under wraps.

And though the US is less dependent on Oil from Saudi Arabia, it still is to some extent, moreover, keeping the oil flowing is good for the world economy, and much better in those terms than were Saudi Arabia to be taken by China or Russia etc. which is why that pact continues.

It will be this way for a few generations yet.
Why is Editing a PDF so Hard?
Yes, if TSLA is 1% of S&P500, short $1,000 of TSLA shares for every $100,000 of SPY you own. And then dynamically hedge as the price fluctuates. This doesn’t really work unless you can borrow on margin for cheap and have lots of money (unless you can short partial shares, lol)

Not saying it’s a good idea, only that it’s possible
Personal observation - assuming everyone is out to get everyone else is a cultural thing that wasnt such a concern until quite recently. It's a bit like looking at certain phrases in common use 70 years ago and wondering why anyone would use them.
That isn't an apples to apples comparison.
And HDCP is already a thing for authenticating screens.
I see you’re being immature to take such a one sided view of the problem.

I wasn’t advocating people shouldn’t take it, I’m asking for patience and understanding, not everyone is ready and eager to inject medicine they don’t understand using a new vaccine technology in 5 minutes, is that so hard to believe ?
