> Downloading isn't copyright infringement, uploading is, because you are sharing something without the authorization of the copyright holder.

That much is true, but when it's the rights holder that's uploading the content, then it's not copyright infringement because they chose to upload it to be shared, while actually having the proper rights to do so.

With DDL hosters there's quite a few that put in the ToS how by uploading a file that publicly accessible for download, you confirm that you have the right to do so, as these services usually do have a ToS as they are mostly run by legit companies.

While with a decentralized p2p network, as bittorrent is, there's really no way to enforce a system wide ToS.

> Torrent sites frequently track uploads and kick users off that don't upload

Not "sites" do that, but communities centered around trackers do that to ensure that there's actually enough upload bandwidth and not just a bunch of leechers that only download but never contribute with their upload bandwidth.
You mean by this port. Try the running the emulated model 3 version on your pc then.

That depends whether you're a politician or an economist. ;-) Through a politician's lens the goal of a tax is to raise revenue for government and tax policy exists to do that efficiently. Through an economist's lens efficient trade and alignment of incentives are fundamental and governments exist only incidentally to ensure those. There are various schools of economics that suggest limiting government's role only to the enforcement of private property rights and kneecapping its ability to do anything else.

It's much like how to a physicist, vectors are real objects that live in the abstract concept of a vector space, while to a mathematician vector spaces are fundamental axioms and the existence of vectors is just a consequence that falls out of these axioms.

If this is true then why do I also see graphs showing that wages have declined in purchasing power since the 70s? Is it possibly that this chart is using "average" rather than "median"? Housing is everyone's largest expensive and I feel like I've seen figures that show housing has a percentage of income is something like 2-3x higher than it was 50 years ago.

Reminds me of an episode of MST3K where they played a '50s beer documentary that went in depth into all the science and engineering behind keeping the beer cold between the brewery and the store. Then one of the robots pops up and says - "Meanwhile, the Soviets were developing Sputnik."
Thanks for the rare thoughtful reply, but the fallacy is, itself, a fallacy. IQ/g-factor/ability to reason about systems is unevenly distributed - and, critically, a zero-sum game. For every +2 SD IQ engineer devoted to making humans orgasm, there is one fewer +2 SD IQ engineer devoted to other pursuits, N% of which would have been positive for humanity's progress.

Unfortunately, you can't really get around this without heroic efforts to shift the bell curve to the right.

Remnote. Previously Zettlr and Markor. My markdown files with their links imported and worked straight away. That, plus the spaced repetition was perfect for me. Also the export to markdown (which does then work in Zettlr) is good. I like the whizziness, similar to Dynalist.

Lots of people are working on this (see all the companies working on autonomous trucking), but it's less visible because public testing of this is more dangerous than non-highway driving. We won't see the progress without a much higher level of confidence.
I'm not an Apple insider, but I can imagine many reasons.

For one thing, the tcp stack is ancient, and easy to syn flood. (It was forked from FreeBSD in 2001ish, before FreeBSD added syncookies and syncache). Synflooding os x makes the whole network stack unresponsive, including other interfaces like localhost.
I believe the article rightly addresses that there are multiple causes for sleep issues and that many are likely the result of stress from the pandemic. But they've noticed accute issues specifically in patients known to have tested positive fir COVID. From TFA:

> In recent months, however, Salas has watched a more curious pattern emerge. Many people’s sleep continues to be disrupted by predictable pandemic anxieties. But more perplexing symptoms have been arising specifically among people who have recovered from COVID-19. “We’re seeing referrals from doctors because the disease itself affects the nervous system,” she says. After recovering, people report changes in attention, debilitating headaches, brain fog, muscular weakness, and, perhaps most commonly, insomnia.

There is a contingent of HN posters who are primed to blame a lot of bad effects on "the lockdown." Frankly, I was one of them 8 months ago when there was actually a lockdown, but at least in most places in the USA there really hasn't been anything I could reasonably describe as a "lockdown" since early Summer. Mask mandates, and limits on how specific businesses can operate, sure, but nothing like the draconian shelter-in-place orders we saw in the spring.

I can say from firsthand experience that my families mental health is severely compromised at this point, but unfortunately none of it could be solved by less restrictive laws. It's all related to the pandemic and the choices we've had to make to reduce our chances of getting infected and passing that virus on to other people who have higher risks of dying.

If humans didn't highly value their own lives, they would be much less likely to survive and reproduce, and we wouldn't be here having this conversation.

> Is it because we think animals aren't capable of feeling fear, pain, anxiety, and love?

Historically, I think this was a common justification. Although, the conversation has shifted and will likely continue to do so, as we have realized that animals have many of the feelings that we have, even if it isn't exactly the same.

> Is the "moral" expectation that a chimp would value chimp life higher, a dog would value dog life higher, and a human would value human life higher?

Yes, most likely. Although the world would probably look very different if other animals were capable of discussing such things :)
Everything you wrote is your opinion, whereas it’s been extensively documented that lockdowns are leading to a huge surge in depression and suicidal ideation. Just one example:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6932a1-H.pdf

Here’s a longitudinal study, showing that lockdowns were directly associated with increased depression in children:

I can't imagine how this topic is relevant on Hacker News.
Broke, hungry, and poor are all different from being homeless. The vast majority of people served by food pantries are not homeless. Most people who can't afford to put a roof over their heads are sleeping under somebody else's.

I do get it. When people think about homelessness, when they cast a ballot, we don't want them to think about the "hardcore" (as you put it) unsympathetic homeless. We want them to think about the more relatable people experiencing transitional homelessness. People who are leaving an abusive situation, people working a job that didn't cover their rent, etc. The Rosa Parkses of homelessness.

And that sucks. It sucks that the "hardcore" homeless are so stigmatized that the only acceptable way to talk about helping them is to frame a larger problem in which they can be hidden away as an unrepresentative minority.
How can the severity of a future infection be known? Is this a vaccine or a cure?
Family dogs also tend to take on a protective role over children, since they're pack animals and correctly identify the tiny humans as fragile/vulnerable. Dogs will offer the kids as much love and attention as they're willing to take without ever getting bored, while adults often have their own limits and need to deal with other Important Business that children don't necessarily understand/appreciate yet.
Honest question that's going to draw some ire. Why use Haskell when we have rust? I've poked at Haskell and it was not a good experience.

Who is the target audience for this novelty?
Interestingly, AWS and Google weren't really B2B plays initially either. But AWS in particular recognized that if AWS was to be as successful as they had ambitions for, the were going to have to hire an enterprise sales force and do other things related to supporting enterprises.

Apple toyed with becoming more enterprisey at various times but their ultimate success came mostly from BYOD and enterprises proving Mac options because that's what many of their employees wanted. They do have business sales but it's still more of a pull than a push thing.
There are two things that seem to undermine the currect media landscape.

1) Profits are more important that facts and integrity

2) That race to the bottom prevents the media from policing each other. That is, for example, ABC News won't call out CBS News because ABC News fears retaliation (so to speak).
You are in a wrong comments thread. This is a post about how popular with is WordPress and it is popular because you install plugins there and have site without completely any programming language.

While that gap between film and games has been large for a long time, it definitely is closing now with the latest generation of film renderers based data on ray tracing hardware, and a large push in the film industry to incorporate real-time pre-vis workflows and reduce iteration times.

It’s very common for film CG frames to take a few hours but not usually 12 hours. You need to be able to start rendering jobs at the end of the day and have them ready for dailies on the morning. Jobs that take more than 4 hours risk clogging the queue and taking 2 days per iteration rather than 1, so people are motivated to keep it reasonable.

Another important difference between games and film is antialiasing techniques. Much of the difference in render time between them is in using fancier texture sampling and using lots more samples than games are willing to use or even need for decent quality.

It's worth noting that the most effectives breakthroughs against cancer in recent decades (Immunotherapy, angiogenesis-suppressing drugs) have largely been based on ideas that were first dismissed and widely ridiculed by senior scientists working on cancer research.

I suspect that in another 50 years, when the war against cancer is (finally) over, we will end up with a completely different perspective on the history of cancer research than the often self-serving and propagandized perspective we have today.
> a website can silently drop the part after the plus sign and use your real email address instead.

I wonder if there are any documented cases of this? I suspect it would be hard to detect, other than in combination with a catch-all domain.

I've been doing the catch-all for almost 20 years now. My suggestion if you go this path: use a subdomain.

At least when I first enabled it, catch-all on a top-level domain gets a massive amount of dictionary-style spam with common names (admin@ john@ jane@ postmaster@ etc), and that was with a fresh domain where I was the first registrant ever. This doesn't happen with a subdomain.

it's pretty easy to argue Fortnite also uses a "custom" engine. (And that's not pedantry - they obviously have knowledge and access that no licensee could dream of.)

That said, tere are a decent set of AAA games that license Unreal (PUBG, State of Decay, Borderlands series, Arkham series, XCom series) but it's rare among the absolute biggest titles ("AAAA" if you will.)

>how lockdowns and disrupting a population’s routines directly and indirectly damages public health.

For me the disruption was that I finally slept enough. You save so much time commuting, there's nothing to do at night, so you get a much more stable circadian rhythm, and more hours of sleep on average.
so considering the covid and the fact that it will be hard to get rented ... OP made a mistake?
This is a really difficult to answer question because of the place in the stack this library inhabits. Buttplug only cares about accessing hardware, so while it may sound like a cop-out, our security model is "whatever the hardware gives us". Multi-user control systems would be built on top of the library, and that's where a good bit of the security work would happen.

That said, there are some security/privacy features built into the architecture to reduce metadata dissemination, I'll be outlining those in the developer guide at some point.

>double digit percentage lesser than that.

Estimates vary, picking a lesser estimate only reinforces my point that export driven development / manufacturing is simply not enough for China -> too many people.

> output since the 80s

Ditto.

>sole ultimately true point.

You're reinforcing my argument is tearing into it how specifically. The broad point is China has too many people for current development models. Unless you think my argument is something else.

> A moot point with resources.

On that matter what is your argument exactly? That things will be fine because science will solve all roadblocks? You may subscribe to future tech + earth can support 100 Billion Ecumenopolis in your other comment, but I do not. At analysing hypothetical trends in the next 50 years, which itself is a shitshow, but needn't enter scifi wank territory. If your argument is the world can technically support 1T algae eating people comfortably without an actual road map for such transition then why bother obsessing minutae of individual statistics when your hypothetical outlook is a handwave.

>no / no

Normalize robots per 10k worker metric, China has more industrial robots than Japan, US, SK, Germany combined. Most of this growth was last few years.

> don't give a flying, why would they?

They haven't given a flying historically, these regions were neglected, only so much political focus and direction to go around. Hence "pending" and whether they actually deliver on interior development pivots that's being hinted at this year. You don't think the fact that Chinese literacy rate exceeds most in the region while 600M interior poor who are already subsisting on rock bottom prices, a pool comparable to size of entire ASEAN, is a useless potential workforce? By your own admission the sector employs less than official statistics, are all 600M and their offsprings useless dregs? Are Chinese businesses all of a sudden not beholden to CCP industrial policies? Do state run enterprises not have massively wasteful job creation components already purely for stability maintenance. All I posited is "maybe" CCP will actually give a shit about long neglected interior development, they don't have to, but if it's establishment policy, business will fall in line. And if they don't, that's manageable too. Those 600M / 40% of the population can be bought off perpetually with 7% GDP, a few years of slow growth. Worst case they'll languish as underclass to support the demographic transition.
I injured myself ~20 years ago because of Corewars (well mostly stupidity, but Corewars was involved).

I wrote a little evolution routine that would take some corewars code and randomly change instructions around to see if it couldn't evolve a more successful program this way.

I let it run for hours and hours, and it did come up with short programs, and I was eager to see how it would continue. It happened that I needed to install a new light fixture in the same room as the computer... can you see where this is going?

Well, I didn't want to turn off the simulation, so I figured that if I instead just turn off the lights, then even without flipping the breaker for that room, I could be sure there would be no live wires leading to my new light fixture.

I was standing on a long stool and was about to start screwing in the light fixture to the ceiling wires with a lustre terminal and bam, I was hit with 220 volts.

I thought the only outcomes from getting electrocuted would be to either die or survive, but I discovered a third thing that can happen: I lost a bunch of color in my skin, and it never came back.

Lessons? Be careful with electricity, and try not to get too obsessed with Corewars.

I believe the 24hr minimum is a requirement by Apple not AWS.

I remember reading somewhere that renting a Mac mini node from AWS has the same rental policies as renting a physical Mac mini from a rental company.

It makes a lot of sense to have a 24hr minimum when renting a physical machine delivered to a workplace, but it seems weird to have the same policies when renting a Mac mini on the cloud.

Maybe you could clarify what was not good in your experience poking at Haskell.

Which source materials did you use? What is your background? How comfortable are you with higher level typing systems?

I have very little hands-on experience, but with the little I messed with both languages, they serve different purposes and are not apples to apples comparison.
another article of theirs calculates ~73 days to equal the cost of outright buying one

The purchase price of a machine is far from the only cost of adding a machine to an enterprise. Depending on how a company is set up, that 73 days could be as little as 10 or 20 days. There are a lot of other factors to consider, especially if (as it is where I work), only two departments uses Macs, and the rest of the company is Windows.
> I rage quit Haskell when I saw all the promises for application correctness fall like a house of cards by realizing I can write to a file after it has been closed when using lazyIO.

The promises aren't “using Haskell magically causes correctness”, but “Haskell provides powerful tools that most other languages don't that enable correctness”.

But, you know, the people that need to telegraph “rage quitting” a language are usually the people chasing an unreasonable silver bullet and misinterpreting things through that lens to start with.
> the brain puts on "brakes" to cognitive capacity in response to some viruses/injuries

A terrifying prospect. Misuse of lead (pipes, paint, gas) was a national tragedy with demonstrable ill effect on society and, IMO, still badly affecting the mental health of the older folk who grew up in that era. We can’t afford to take on another generation of mentally diminished, emotionally fragile citizens.
"...But can apple dictate licensing terms like this? If aws buys a mac, can't they use it however they like? Or are there terms limiting this in the purchase agreement..."

Yes, no, and yes.
I tried zopflipng [1] with the very expensive option suggested from the usage and got 2,493 bytes (original 2,740 bytes, nowhere practical as it took 3 minutes) so you don't have to sacrifice the palette, though I'm not sure if 16 or even 4 color palette will significantly alter the visual.
