One question that's been bugging more with regard to these older encumbered standards as we get into the 2020s: does anyone know if there has been an exhaustive search of when they go patent free? H.264 Version 1 was 2003, and Version 3 (which added the high profiles, so it's probably by far the most common by this point) was 2005. So worst-case scenario, we're 3-5 years from any possible patent being expired. But in most cases standards patents have priority dates at least a year or two before, because negotiations happen well before standard official finalization (first draft in this case was sometime in 1999 or 2000 IIRC) and patent holders who try to keep it a secret and apply at the last moment risk getting cut out or having someone else come up with it and neutralize them.

I remember a lot of people were watching for when MP3 went patent free, and it'd be interesting if there was a site keeping track of when some of these other still commonly used standards did the same. Patents last relatively way too long in the tech world, but even here it's not forever.

So Trump’s campaign manager shuffling internal campaign polling data to a Russian Intel Officer (the Senate Intel Committee’s characterization, not mine), while Russian Intelligence is busy waging a directed psyops campaign against the American public, and then lying about it to the FBI is not evidence of collusion? Trump’s close associate Roger Stone had advanced knowledge of hacked DNC materials from Wikileaks and told Trump, but not the FBI, then lied about it to Congress. Not evidence of collusion? Trump’s son, son in law, and campaign manager met with a now convicted Russian spy in Trump’s house, who laid out terms for delivering materials damaging to Clinton - relaxed sanctions. Trump lied about this meeting’s existence to the American public. Not evidence of collusion?

To summarize:

Trump knew Russia was trying to help him. He knew they wanted to offer dirt on Clinton in exchange for better relations. The hacked information was indeed delivered, meanwhile Trump’s campaign was funneling internal data to Russian Intel, which was attacking The election. And surprise surprise, the Republican platform that year was softer on Russia than it ever had been in the last 40 years. Suddenly Republicans don’t care about Russian annexation of Crimea? For no reason at all?

No evidence? Really? Let me guess, you only read the Bill Barr memo, which a Federal Judge has noted seemed to be intentionally misleading of the Mueller Report. I guess you also haven’t read the Senate Intel report, which lays out 900 pages of evidence related to Russian interference of the 2016 election, and the Trump campaign’s entangled involvement with it.

Maybe you don’t believe they colluded, but let’s remember that the original, official Trump campaign line was that they had zero contacts and zero deals with Russia. This turned out to be a complete lie.
> Oh, ideally you wouldn't vaccinate people who are already immune, but saying it hinders herd immunity is a bit silly.

If you only have 100M doses and you waste half on undetected positives, that definitely hinders achieving herd immunity. Unless you are saying uncontrolled spread helps develop herd immunity. It does, but it isn't a desirable method.
> looks at HDMI[a]

But you’re absolutely correct. Something like H.264 which is used by practically everything shouldn’t cost money to just look at the standard.

We just had fewer resources. We had to be more self-sufficient. Books were more important. I used to spend somewhere between $200 and $500 a year (maybe more!) on reference and tutorial-style books.

CDROMs were the 'downloading' of the 80s and 90s.
I have seen similar stories with AWS. It’s somewhat shocking to me that there’s no way to ask to get cut off above some dollar limit. Is every customer risking unbounded liability?

Wasn't there an actual practice in some cultures? For example, in trial by combat where the person who won was considered morally right?

Or some forms of witch trials I suppose ("will she float or sink") but I'm never sure how much of that is true and how much is fiction, as in Monty Python's ;)
I wish I had read this before my philosophy course assigned reading Nietzche. It’s completely changed how I view the works I’ve read by him. They make sense to me now.

Taken out of context, he seemed a bit crazy. My Christian upbringing told me people like Nietzsche didn’t believe anything could be known, which is demonstrably false. Things
can be “known” but it’s context dependent.
If your editor makes you significantly more productive, maybe you're just writing boilerplate code, or something someone already implemented in a library. Touch typing is similar - it's useful because it removes some unnecessary barriers and thus makes the job more enjoyable, but it won't magically make you a better a programmer.

As I said, I’m not comparing the candidates and judging their behavior. I’m comparing what the public believed: “Two out of three Democrats also claim Russia tampered with vote tallies on Election Day to help the President – something for which there has been no credible evidence.” The point is to understand what’s the effect of people believing the election was not fair.

How to create unique ID\s for multiaccounting?
Hello, I want to ask you about some tips on how to create multiple unique ID's for the purposes of multi accounting on the same betting platform. I will use only my computer for obvious reasons.
The betting platforms dont like when someone creates multiple accounts on them, and they employ heavy analytics and spyware like iesnare to check the uniqueness of their users.
Here are the steps that I have decided to take.
1. Create a separate windows 10 virtual box for each account.
2. Connect to the internet via dedicated proxy assigned to each account.
3. Use mac changer on each VB. (people have claimed that websites can see the mac, i dont know if that\s true but if they install isnare maby they can)
4. Use the most common browsers Chrome/firefox, put unique extensions for each account, never delete cookies or history, set them to a unique size for each account. All of this to generate the sense of real person behavior.
5. Go from a dedicated web page to the betting page. Francefootball.com > bet356.com example
6. Use password auto fill but not on all profiles.
7. Give each machine slightly different RAM, so they perform differently from each other(probably an overkill)
8. (unique registration email/billing address, phone number method of payment for each profile ofcorse)

I know that some of the things might be unnecessary overkill and I might have missed something. I would appreciate if you can give me some tips on how to make each VB more unique.
The skepticism I have of PUFs is that since they don't generate random numbers, they may just be another open loop unfalsifiable concept in security that reduces to "it's complicated, take my word for it."

The relationship to lava lamps is PUFs are a physical instead of a logical source of data, conceptually not unlike a quartz crystal in a clock, or radio active decay for random numbers, or even biometrics for authentication. You take something physically natural then sample it at a given interval to get logical data within certain parameters.

The security of such a system is not in the mystery of the physical object, but the sampling scheme. Apropos of the news, just like it isn't important so much who people vote for, it's who counts the votes that matters. The security of both lava lamp RNGs and PUFs are subject to an analogous sampling dynamic. So are biometrics.
I still use firefox for that, and just use reader mode. It's easy to toggle on and off, and I can't remember they last time I had an issue with it.
Reading Peter Singer’s the Life You Can Save in the Year of the Plague
Sure, but the threat of me cancelling and switching to another ISP as the service is now unsuitable for my needs is enough to keep them from doing that.

Does this strategy work? Maybe, when I upgraded my plan they wanted to switch modems, the new one didn’t have working bridge support, and I said to them it was a requirement for me. No bridging, revert everything. The field tech escalated to engineering and they approved a business-class modem. I expect the same with IPv4, even if I have to pay extra.
In other words, in volatile markets it creates predictability. Farmers use futures for selling their produce. If we didn't have futures farmers would have no way to plan for the next year until they sold everything at the end of the year, which is very impractical. Instead they lock in their revenue and upgrade, repair, buy or sell equipment based on that. Since water is now a volatile resource it makes sense to do the same with that and lock in part of their expenses.
Because I vouched for it first (requires some amount of karma I think).
And I'm saying a story can still explore issues and have you ponder about them without the author having to step in and explicitly tell you to do so.

The story could, for example, have explored the issue of which way the princess might lean from the guys point of view, which covers all the same human nature angles, and then it could also have gone on to have a proper ending. I value storycraft.

I'm not saying the story should have been different back then, I'm sure it was perfect for 1882, and thats why its remembered now. I'm interested in how I differ from the 1882 audience.

edit: and koans are more about invoking mind states beyond words, like a kind of mind-hack, than they are about pondering ponderable things.

> One does need plugins with Vim for anything big.

When a fresh shell tab is just a command-T/ctrl-T away, you don't need Vim to do any of these things in the first place. The point of Vim is that it's a text editor that lives in an environment where you can already accomplish everything other than text editing.

VSCode is a text editor that uses plugins to bring other programs into VSCode. Vim is a text editor plugin for an environment in which all those programs already run natively.
> For 2019, my gross income, pre-expense income for both apps was around $29,272. Using the IRS’s $0.58 per mile reimbursement fee, and writing off a portion of my cell phone bill, totals out to about $29,500. So, last year I technically paid about $250 to work.

That's not how that works. So much misunderstanding in that statement.
Yes maybe as a teenager I would have experienced it differently.
I absolutely echo your complaints. But the old way had significant problems too. Hopefully we can find something better than either.

Once a shoe company in the South of Brazil (Novo Hamburgo or maybe São Leopoldo) had an employee who was long due retirement and they wanted to put some software in place to do his job, which was to cup up leather in the most efficient manner possible.

In general though Emacs single handedly can do most of everything required in software development. One could practically spend all ones development time inside it, so I would say Emacs workflows are more impressive than Vi ones, especially since so much of great functionality is baked into it without even needing pluggins.

This I say after a couple of recent days in which the GUD gdb interface was a great help in solving a few of the problems I was working on. Does VI has something similar built in? Or for any of the common workflows like these which work out of the box, without needing plugins or extra configuration:

1. Remote file editing on other computers.

2. Rectangular/columnar text edits and manipulations.

3. Essentially infinite kill ring, i.e, a very easy to use copy-paste history: This I find is very useful, one becomes acustomed to building, blocks of text by assembling things from the kill ring. Also plays nice with point 4, easy macro record/replay.

4. Easy macro record/replay of even complicated edit sequences.

5.Inbuilt calculator, with both rpn and algebraic modes.

6. The Dir-ed mode provides a very convenient file manager.

In the United States, there are hundreds and hundreds of Apple authorized repair stores that have access to genuine Apple batteries. But this is not always true in other places, which leads to the HN echo chamber of "evil Apple is forcing obsolescence to sell more computers!"

I had a MacBook Air done at one of these this party authorized repair shops last year, and it cost the same as getting it done from Apple, itself: $129.
I have found that at least one of the patents contested (U.S. Patent No. 6,879,268, formerly filed as 10/054,610) was indeed properly declared by Nokia back in 2002 [1].

1: https://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-t/oth/04/07/T040700053E0001P...

Edit: I have found other contested patents that were properly declared but I already said quits and let the courts decide on this.

Final edit: I gave up reviewing Nokia's declarations after finding matches in the filing. Apparently, the so-called contested patents (at least those that I have checked) were called differently when Nokia submitted the declaration (Lenovo's legal reviewed the patent numbers but did not looked if they matched the filing number). I have looked at some contested patents and it seems that Nokia did declare them properly as far back as 2002, so I genuinely don't know what Lenovo is trying to claim here. Accordingly, I let others complete the review here.

Expecting share prices to only go up and not move with broader market cycles would be quite naive. Maybe the fed will succeed in keeping this bubble from popping forever, but I certainly wouldn't be counting on it when considering any offer.
Probably the best second person POV story I've ever read. Very funny and I got a kick out of it. As a relatively new part time vim user (about a year), I felt portions of this. I still use VSCode for a handful of tasks, but Vim has taken over more and more.

This past semester I had to SSH into our CS servers for my OS class, and the way my group would work was usually me sharing my screen and us peer programming. There were multiple occasions my group partners would stop me and ask how dude something like remove a full line, put it in a register, and pasted it at the bottom of the file so fast.

I love the reactions to it, because people get excited and I encourage them to try him themselves.

I'm also very much an amateur when it comes to vim. I love seeing vim masters in action, it's so interesting. I think I'll forever remain the right eyed character who asks "how did you do that?", and it's that sense of wonder that makes me love vim.
Pragmatically speaking, I'd advocate cutting square cookies and embossing/icing seasonal designs/motifs on the top.

Steps to Build a Remote Software Engineering Team – By Valentin
I agree, but I think it is also like learning Lisp. I don't program in Lisp, but I think differently about some things because of it. Like code as a list that can be manipulated. Code as data, which is similar to Vim. Vim encourages thinking about things in terms of a language that represents structural units. I think more about how to code is structured rather than thinking about it as just freeform text with semantic meaning.

Whether that structural mindset helps with programming.... Dunno.
Isn't the vast majority of geoblocking due to regulations, legislation, or contract agreements? That hardly qualifies as "discrimination."
I agree. OP stated it was painful to swallow and I'm guessing the laryngoscope is likely the culprit there. The idea is that because the laryngoscope compresses the base of the tongue this likely results in pain swallowing.

NCSA Mosaic just dropped when I was a freshman, but technical info on the
nascent internet was sparse enough that you were writing code, poorly, from
first principles extracted from books (K&R, Unix Programming Environment,
Richard Stevens, OReilly). When you hit a snag, your choices were staring
futilely at a manpage, or asking the person sitting in the next carrel.
Fun fact: there was an attempt by the MPEG working group to design a non-patent-encumbered internet video format.

It was killed late in the process by several companies making patent claims on the finished standard, without saying which patents were infringed, therefore making it impossible for the standard to be reworked.

Or good business sense, maybe? If you're in real estate and own a bunch of properties, you're going to have an LLC for each property, and maybe even one LLC for each state that owns the other ones. You could easily end up with a dozen LLCs for <10 properties in multiple states.

Maybe there's some similar avenue here.
This is a good point. Office 365 seems to have a lot of free applications we don’t use (we tried teams 3 years ago...). They have a trello like thing and a file sharing like thing and a whole host of other stuff bundled in.
