Really helped me out when I was getting my CS degree. Some classes I'd use these free copies, but core classes ex. Algorithms I liked having the physical copy of CLRS.
I don't have much of an opinion myself on it, I'm just trying to state that so far, this appears to be the status quo. Here is some recent additional information on it compiled by Gwern: https://www.gwern.net/Faces#copyright (scroll up just above this link):

>Mod­els in gen­eral are gen­er­ally con­sid­ered “trans­for­ma­tive works” and the copy­right own­ers of what­ever data the model was trained on have no copy­right on the mod­el. (The fact that the datasets or in­puts are copy­righted is ir­rel­e­vant, as train­ing on them is uni­ver­sally con­sid­ered fair use and trans­for­ma­tive, sim­i­lar to artists or search en­gi­nes; see the fur­ther read­ing.) The model is copy­righted to whomever cre­ated it.
For sure, though San Francisco is a bit far from me! :)
I feel like many of the posts here are just emotions based on the title alone. Have we devolved into Facebook meme rage territory on HN as well?

I had a great IT career going up until 2005 when I had cancer. My company promised to keep me on until I was healthy, but fired me Christmas week. I was unemployed (unemployable actually do to the cancer) until mid 2006. I had over 60K in medical debt, plus being unemployed wiped out my emergency fund. Before this, I was responsible with my money, had life insurance, retirement fund, lived within my means. Yet one out of control cell grew into a "run of just bad luck."

I'm not alone.
I think you might be underestimating the fragility of the human being in so many aspects (2020 might be trying to teach us something in that regard). Consider how alcohol has a very negative (often disastrous) effect in so many lives, even though most people start drinking thinking they understand how alcohol is going to affect them and that they can keep it under control.
Their link to "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach (5th edition)" (https://booksite.elsevier.com/9780123838728/references.php) is broken. Here's a couple more [1],[2].

I'm also surprised Jeff Erickson's free lecture notes [3] aren't there given 1) its easy to remember domain 2) its incredibly high, practical quality. Practical because I've had interviews that just grab questions from the book, and also because his course is basically just a walk-through of the book. It's also very easy to read, and although I didn't do great in his class, his conceptual lessons still stick with me.

Is anyone offering 8 extra hours for a 20% raise? I don't know if software salaries in the US have gotten so high that people will happily take these pay cuts, or whether those people are a small vocal minority, or just people in a later stage in life that have different priorities, but as a late 20s person outside of the US, the last thing on my mind is how to convince my employer to give me a 20% pay cut.
> This is a dying legacy news company trying to shit

Nice story, bro. Typical negative sentiment backed by biased arguments revolving around a silly belief that technology will continue to destroy all those boomer things and improve what will be for those who embrace it willingly. Meanwhile, Facebook is rewiring the way you think.

Don't like my story? Then read this:

> The UK company continues to be the best forming international subsidiary, generating an estimated £10-15m of profit (before transfer charges) at margins not seen anywhere else in Condé Nast.

That was on nearly $1.5B in revenue. "Dying", ha ha.
There has historically been fairly consistent and repeated claims that teens and young adults are influenced by fictional media into anti-social behavior, despite the lack of strong evidence. There has also been consistently a strong need to explain divergent and deviant behavior, and a desire to stamp it down.

So since we have learned that violent song lyrics does not cause anti-social behavior in teens, nor that of violent movies, it seems as a good default stance that neither does violent video games. I would also default the same stance to porn consumption, based on the same logic.

I would prefer if we got a final study that gave a definitive answer if consumption of fiction causes anti-social behavior. It seems to me that fiction is simply an medium for which people can safely explore cultural norms, but in terms of causing anti-social behavior we would need to look at social environment and biochemical triggers for social behavior.
I would like to see the dirt on every politician also. But I'm not going to complain because I can only see the dirt on some of them. And if Wikileaks received information about Politician D and did not publish it because they did not have equal information about Politician R to release at the same time then they would be taking an editorial bias in favor of D. Now if you show that Wikileaks sat on information about R, then there is something serious to point at. Until then, to me it sounds like everyone who complains about this is really just upset that their preferred politicians dirt was exposed and they think they should be allowed to get away with it.
Backpacking is very different from town to town (or even hut to hut). There are a few places in the US you can go hut to hut (normally). Your options to go town to town are very limited (as in, I don't actually know of any).

In the UK (other places too but the UK is really known for it), there are a ton of town to town walks and you can have your luggage transported.

As for backpacking, as others have said, you really probably want to get started with an out-and-back backpack, possibly with day hike(s) from a base camp rather than setting yourself on a probably overly ambitious point to point week-long backpack. ADDED: People do just strike out to do the AT or the PCT (see Wild) but it's not really recommended.
As others have mentioned, it's probably correlating both your mobile and desktop, since there's certainly shared accounts being accessed on both.
"Domain work is messy and demands a lot of complicated new knowledge that doesn’t seem to add to a computer scientist’s capabilities. Instead, the technical talent goes to work on elaborate frameworks, trying to solve domain problems with technology. Learning about and modeling the domain is left to others. Complexity in the heart of software has to be tackled head-on. To do otherwise is to risk irrelevance." - Eric Evans
Intel might just be the only company where there's a chance your chip is built in the US and thus uses the minimal amount of forced labor necessary to mine and ship the raw material.
> no bad press

Not bad press. The stolen materials of a state-sponsored attack released at the precise time it would do the most damage. And people are claiming with a straight face this was a coincidence and Wikileaks wasn't working with Russian intelligence, against the American democratic party.
It could be an issue for websites with huge audiences and many comments, but I (guess) this wouldn't be a big performance issue for most personal static websites. Probably, the audience size and number of comments is not big enough to cause any trouble.

Maybe, whatever the case, what I think immensely practical in JS is being able to do things like

o.prop = "something";

and being able to do if( typeof o.prop === 'number' ) ...

> I give you a whopping 1 in 1000 chances of matching your current wage making games.

The comment your replied to make it clear they find game programming interesting and they have a passion for it.

What on earth does making the same wage have to do with it?

If we can make a liveable wage doing what we enjoy, there are scores of people that couldn't care less about a massive wage.
I had a lot of qualms with my CS education, the professors in particular, but I have to hand it to them they always either tried to have the book and material online for free, or would use the international edition of whatever textbook we needed. Textbooks, and higher education in general, are a complete ripoff for 90% of people doing it.

Agreed, though in such “adverse” situations I would probably stick to conventional nondigital art (drawing, painting, writing, playing music, woodworking, sculpting, origami, etc.), or maybe to photography. A phone is physically just not a very good (figurative) canvas to be creative on, and really not “frictionless” (as argued by another comment). You can still use it for inspiration, (minor) research, communication and distribution.
Fair enough, I struggled for a long time on this question as its a touchy subject. I was trying to please both the company and the employee, but it looks as though I failed on both counts.

I don't like the prevalence of corn sugar in the US either, but I don't feel comfortable saying that we should outright cancel farm subsidies.

I am not sure we want our food infrastructure to be subject solely to the whims of the free market. The free market doesn't care about geopolitics, land use, stability, weather, equitability, etc. "Efficiently allocating resources and maximizing profit" is a different goal than "everybody gets food every day".
I agree, but I think many dry goods are poorly priced on Amazon as they are sold by arbitragers taking advantage of people who don’t know or care.

There were many better prices available, but I was just sanity checking the author who wrote lots and lots making it sound like her favorite pasta was unavailable. So I want trying to find an optimal prices just trying to see if it’s actually unavailable (it isn’t).

At my local market pasta is usually $.7-1/pound. And if I go to specialty markets or Whole Foods the price can get 2-5x higher.
Container Deployment on Red Hat Became Easier
you described precisely the reason why anyone wielding deciding power on the matter and acting rationally wouldn't allow the second doses be administered until [almost] everybody (in the country or on the whole planet) gets the first one. To prevent such a situation the subjects of that power have to stockpile.
Very impressive work.
I assume you used the mentioned default blocksize. Maybe it would be interesting to measure it with different values too :)

In fairness, the electorate was repeatedly lied to and misinformed about the situation by the people who actually insisted it would be better, baselessly - that is, politicians.
What are you advocating for here?

It seems to me like case count and most long-term effects are linked. If we reduce case count sufficiently that we can stop quarantining, that improves mental health, and case count should be pretty strongly correlated with death and long-term effects.

In the case of rolling out vaccination, are you suggesting we do something differently? Is there any difference between optimizing for minimizing cases and minimizing those other things in a vaccine rollout? In my mind, to optimize for any of those things, you'd roll out vaccines asap.
>>the ultimate equalizer being a firearm.

Not if you live in a country where firearms are strictly regulated and self defence isn't a justifiable reason for a firearm permit.
It really doesn't. Proof by contradiction only goes so far on this topic. Particularly when you lean on anecdotes from your personal bubble.

If we want to play that game, I can refute the refutal with my own anecdote. I grew up very poor but managed to get to a place several rungs up the socio-economic ladder higher than where I was as a kid. Sure, I worked hard and gritted my way through things like having to skip meals. But a good number of things had to line up just right for me to get where I am today.
It was just as much about me seizing opportunities as it was just being lucky enough to have a shot at them in the first place. It is a lot easier to make opportunities for yourself when you aren't worried about where your next meal is coming from or when you can afford leisure activities that build out your network.

When you start off at the bottom, there is no magic Disney formula you follow to reach success. It is entirely possible to do everything right and still end up stuck in destitution.
Don't forget tortured, gang raped and sterilized.
This is probably what is going to happen, indeed.

> I actually think most of the governmental functions in this article worked quite well.

Permit me indulge in a minor rant. Not against you, just generally.

A specialty pasta manufacturer in Italy (home of pasta, but what do they know?) can no longer export a specialty pasta (which they sell legally in Italy), because it's marginally under-enriched by US government standards for pasta, and so the consumers in the US, who specifically seek out their favorite food, must go without, and this is ... the system working as intended, indeed, working quite well!

> If you say "well you don't need this law, it's over-regulation", that's a good argument

Ah. The thing is it's not a specific piece of legislation, it's one of those regulations the FDA itself came up with to begin with (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21 Chapter 1 Subchapter B Section 139.115, if I'm reading it right).

So then, aside from the fact that it's bullshit to begin with, and no one is changing the bullshit, and that everyone is expected to accept the other 114-plus sections times the 138-or-more parts of Subchapter B times all the twenty-plus other titles, and whatever minutiae they may demand... and that broadly we are all expected take this class of thing as simply as The Way Things Are, a perfectly natural consequence of doing business in our world that we dare not question, well, then -- yes, aside from all that, you're quite right, everything is working quite well!

And yet somehow I feel things are broken, and moreover, that if you say something about it, you'll find a dozen people to complain that you're nothing but an eeeevil capitalist who would poison our oceans and black out our skies just to make an extra $3.50 in pocket change, if not simply out of spite generally.

> One of the reasons Jobs cited as being an important factor for locating in China is the availability of skilled labor. It would have taken them years to hire enough industrial engineers to handle the scope and scale and volume that the iPhone required in the US, if they could even manage it at all, but only weeks to do so in China.

So, potentially, if the phones were made in the US they'd be like Ferraris? Very expensive and only a few made at a time?
I'm afraid of all these "innovations" they described there. Nice ways to decommoditify and justify price increases, in direct opposition of my goals as a consumer: to reduce food and packaging waste.

I'll grant them that kids do love things they can squeeze. My 18mo loves the baby food pouches. When we're in the store, she'll spot them and grab them off the shelves as we're wheeling by them. We ended up buying resealable pouches that we stuff with home-made food, to cut down on plastic waste.
In other words, a dinosaur is worried about an incoming meteor.
I think part of the puzzle is why they would cheat by stamping a logo that is almost right but not quite. Is it that their level of honesty such that they wouldn't cheat regulations but would cheat a trademark? Maybe they themselves can't tell which logo is the correct one so they just stamp anything?

Apple annual income is more than the annual budgets of many countries they don't need to make everything themselves but they can have few thousand trained inspectors which monitor all the places where it products are being produced. If they are able to keep new phone designs months into production secret they are also capable of monitoring and finding about worker abuse.
What evidence? The studies that have shown the failure of trickledown economics to do anything other than line the pockets of the .01%?

George Carlin had it right when he said the game was rigged.
Here is the actual ruling:

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/16064642/784/apple-inc-...

The judge found that Corellium's use of iOS is fair use, in large part because Corellium's emulator satisfies the "transformative" test and is not a market substitute for normal uses of iOS. Interestingly, he explicitly mentioned Oracle v. Google, where Google's use of Java APIs was considered non-transformative, but distinguished this case from that one.

Note that, like most cases involving novel legal issues, this is all but certain to be appealed by the losing party.

Also, the judge only granted summary judgement on Apple's copyright infringement claim, not their DMCA anticircumvention claim, which he held involved a "genuine dispute of material facts" and thus would have to go to jury trial.

I translated your comment.

> The more likely case is that, there are a bunch of people who are unemployable having no skills or lack motivations to work or happen to be in miserable conditions (like the homeless in US) were forced (yes) to enter this kind of "de-radicalization camps", monitored (yes) and _given_ an opportunity to get employment (like an internship for students) and get _paid_ the market salary. Yes they were forced to have a job that they can potentially do (the work conditions are like other "normal" apple factory workers). If they decline, well they need to go back to the "school"..

This news makes it more likely to believe in this kind of thing.

After 10 years of being a software developer, I'd be more than happy to give up 20% salary in exchange for a bit of my life back.

Does that extra $15k (taxed at a higher rate) really make that much of a difference when you're already getting paid $80k? Maybe if you have 2 kids and a mortgage but that's not me
It is true - people up here who like Coffee Crisp really like Coffee Crisp.

Some even go to outlets like Costco to pick up huge, very heavy bricks of them. And at Halloween it would be extremely unusual if the kids didn't trick-or-treat several bars.
Yep! I had a department head tell me that we shouldn't prioritize a fix for an SQL injection vulnerability (with full schema privileges!) for a critical system because we have a backup service. I then asked if we've tested it - Nope. I then asked if we had documentation on how to do it - Nope. I left that department as soon as I could.
I wish there was a premium product that I could pay for. I’d pay an annual fee if the search is accurate, supports offline, has good navigation and supports CarPlay. Right now I use Apple Maps for online navigation and Here maps for offline. Neither does a good job of search. And both suck to different extent with navigation. Navigation is so crucial to us these days it’s totally worth paying for. I have been using Apple Maps for a few years now and it has gotten a ton better than it used to be. If that continues it’ll be part of the Apple tax and I’d be glad to continue as an Apple customer.
But it's the thing that would already be done to them if the work program was not available. We put criminals in prison because of the crimes they commit, not because of the jobs they refuse once they are there.

Yeah, there are a ton of good backpacks in the Cascades generally. The Mountaineers books are probably the best source of info.

If the vial manufacturer has a covid outbreak at their facility and has to stop manufacturing for two weeks, your scheduled shipments aren't going to be on time.

As supply goes up, and we get past the priority recpients to the general public, it probably makes sense to reduce the stockpile requirement; some general public aren't going to come back for their second dose anyway, and more risk is appropriate for general public than high risk groups.
