The courts have a different standard though, and so it is much easier to get them to see. DMCA also is submitted under penalty of perjury, so if there is no infringement, then the courts can take criminal action against the accuser.

I'm not clear on exactly what is being claimed so I don't know how real it is in this case.

Dave / UKTV might be owned by the BBC but they're not funded by the licence fee and operate independently. Much like the BBC America example I cited elsewhere. As you said yourself, it's a commercial station. So they wouldn't be subject to the same "squeezed" licence fee funding that we are discussing.
Geez 99.99% of a Nobel is just plain text. MS Word adds no value. Getting plain text into MS Word is not rocket science.

The point of using markdown is that you got many tools which are superior is aiding in you writing process and organizing your text.

The final format is much less important than whatever aids your writing process.

I have tried using traditional word processors for writing novels and I cannot say they measure up to tools like Ulysses.
While you may be able to point to one or two anomalies, we need more than that. If the MPA has the ear of 70% of congress, that's still enough to have their way on legislation, regardless of a few fringe elements.

As far as I can tell, there's not a large trend that this is changing currently. The candidate that spends the most still wins 70-80% of the time: https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/winning-vs-sp...

The cost of running a winning campaign has steadily increased as well: https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/election-tren...

Those trends, to me, do not paint a compelling story that things are different now.
Mimblewimble explained like you're 12
True, but the M1 CPU, together with the necessary cache and memory controller still occupies about a third of the Apple M1 die.

In the Intel 32-nm process, the area would have been 30 to 40 times larger than in the TSMC 5 nm process.

The 32-nm die would have been as large as a book, many times larger than any manufacturable chip.

By 2011, 2-core CPUs would not have been competitive, but even reducing the area in half is not enough to bring the size into the realm of possible.
>I don't agree that they are not open source

Sorry, you are simply wrong on this matter. It's not a subjective issue, it s a statement of fact that these licenses are not open source. There was a recent attempt to change this within the OSI, which badly failed.

>I don't think consensus is possible and even a 2/3 supermajority on a license change seems out of reach. I can imagine some are pushing for permissive licenses like MIT/BSD, others for GPL/AGPL, others to remain as Apache 2.0, etc.

Correct. That doesn't mean that they can choose to change the license anyway. That means that changing the license is not right in the first place.

NPVIC is state level-electoral meddling exactly on a par with what 45 tried in Michigan and Georgia, and aiming for the same outcome. The democrats pushing for it are not trying to correct some abstract statistical imbalance or make it easier for third party candidates to get seats: they are trying to swing elections in those states democratic, pure and simple.
Making music cheaper and more widely available at events was a big area of enterprise and innovation around the turn of the last century.

I think the "automated band" refers to musical automation like player pianos and fairground organs. Today, you might still find them in vintage carousels.

Another direction in making music cheaper was electric organs, such as the Hammond organ. In the first half of the 20th century, tens of thousands of American churches bought a Hammond organ as a cheaper alternative to bellows-driven organs.

Here's a entertaining and popular video of a guy playing the bells and whistles on a fairground organ.[1]

I recently got a coffee-grinder for Christmas so it’s my morning treat. Even though, I love the caffeine buzz, I try to drink only tea in the afternoon and I concur with the longer drinking being more enjoyable.

I’m currently experimenting with different blends of black tea and decreasing the amount of milk (as is tradition in Ireland) so that I can taste the tea better. I find that I can develop a taste for any decent tea leaf (or coffee bean).

I think they already know the guys behind the website. From an article [1] mentioned by [2] :

Documents obtained by TorrentFreak dated September reveal the MPA, acting through legal representatives, attempting to pressure individuals who they believe are important at Nyaa and could have the ability to shut the site down.

...

While emailed threats are still a common anti-piracy strategy, we are informed that at least two of the individuals were personally served with legal documents at their homes. Others were served with similar documents via regular mail.

I don't think anyone seriously questions whether the non-approval of Merrick Garland was done in good faith or not. Rather, the phraseology used is whether it was constitutional. McConnell didn't use a pretext, he flat out acknowledged what he was doing, and that it was constitutionally his prerogative.

Why are you so eager to trust an organization that has so often demonstrated it's not worthy of trust?

This is Facebook, for pete's sake. The same company that conducted psychological experiments with zero clinical/ethical oversight by manipulating its users' feeds to see if it could cause depression/anxiety (or the opposite).

Facebook is evil and you should not trust them even a little bit.
Where do you get that definition from? I've never seen email or RSS feeds to be considered part of the fediverse. In fact I've only seen the term being used for ActivityPub and Diaspora.
Yeah so if you have a Serverless Framework (the open source project) app in a git repo, you can add that to Seed. And it'll deploy it for you. To the environments you configure on Seed.

It doesn't connect to your Serverless Pro (their SaaS offering) account. Serverless Pro offers some similar features to Seed but most of our users just use Seed.

If you want to deploy using Seed, while viewing logs or metrics on Serverless Pro, you'll need to follow those docs you mentioned to create an access key (https://seed.run/docs/integrating-with-serverless-pro). We should clarify the integration in our docs to make it less confusing.

I hope that makes sense!

Sanders, despite some reformist tendencies, is a also corporate-aligned. He is a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party and of its pro-corporate leadership; supports the military-industrial complex and most (not all) of its foreign interventions; and recently voted for the CARES act, which transferred huge amounts of wealth to large corporations.

Those "Bernie-aligned" elected members of the house have just recently chosen to support Hundred-Millionaire house member Nanci Pelosi for speaker of the house. They did not even do this in exchange for anything. Other Bernie-aligned representatives, already in office before this year, have also neglected to act against their pro-corporate party line.

So, the moneyed elites can indirectly win even if they ostensibly lose.
> they say Google lags a couple of generations behind Apple in lockdown features,

Android is already caught up with iOS in lockdown features and in some ways already surpassed. This is a very strange argument for PureOS, which requires apps to request permissions at install time (like earlier versions of Android), and many apps in Flathub just ask for all permissions. I hope PureOS improves this situation because it will also make my desktop better in addition to providing more mobile choices, but to claim they are better than Android already at this simply has no basis in reality.

> newer defaults are pointing in the direction of further restricting sideloading.

Google itself has said that sideloading will become better in upcoming versions of Android. This is something that I am looking forward to because I develop apps for my own devices that I want to manage the deployment of myself without being restricted to the basic deployment capabilities of the Play Store. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/09/listening-...
> Most people don't realize this but GameStop was actually very bad for console game developers. Games were often resold, with each time no revenue going to the developer. I worked on a popular Xbox / PS3 game that was resold like 7-9 times on average. Our marketing people figured that GameStop made a lot more money on the game than the developer.

I'm more willing to pay $X for a game if I know I can probably sell it for $Y when I don't want it anymore. Digital store games don't have the same value for me, I can't sell the games later, and depending on the system, might have a big hassle transferring them to a different system if/when the one I have goes south.

Book publishers (and authors) don't get anything when I buy from a used bookstore, or borrow a book from a friend either. Neither does a cookware manufacturer get anything if I buy used pots and pans from a thrift shop.
It's a bit more muddled then that since AWS isn't using the true ElasticSearch bits but rather an OpenDistro fork of it that they created themselves. So is it still ElasticSearch? Mostly, but it's not exactly the same thing either. But of course AWS would want to leverage the name recognition of ElasticSearch...
A meta-circular Java bytecode interpreter for GraalVM
Java on Truffle is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine Specification, Java SE 8 and Java SE 11, built upon GraalVM as a Truffle interpreter. It is a minified Java VM that includes all core components of a VM, implements the same API as the Java Runtime Environment library (libjvm.so), and reuses all JARs and native libraries from GraalVM. The project name behind this implementation is "Espresso". Its open source version is available on GitHub.
> and the software itself.

Often when licenses change, the old versions of the repositories, that are still under the old license are still available. Isn't that the case here as well?

Granted, employees of Elastic, might have unknowingly written code that is now under a proprietary license. But code of most other external contributors should still be under the APL2.0, right?

> Maybe, but it still doesn't make it right. This wasn't an accident, or the consequence of a company gradually succumbing to attrition. It was deliberately done for the profit motive in an already profitable company, and excused away with gaslighting and misinformation.

You are blaming a for-profit company for making supposedly for-profit decisions, which is nothing new. If you could show that their actions where dictated by short term greed (which is mismanagement in a for profit company), then this argument would bite more IMO.

A good argument for your critique is also their press release, where they try to explain 'nothing has changed' while in fact the license has.

> This is why I chose to criticize them on my blog.

Of course its a very annoying situation and IMO you are right in criticize them for causing it.
Yep, they were pretty short, and a lot of them had no save feature so had to be finished in one sitting (unless your parents let you leave it running and just unhook the coax cable so they could watch TV). I remember going to a local game store that would let you try out used games in the store to verify that they worked, and I actually beat a game at the store.
LADR was freely available at Springer at least at some point in time. Under their open access program. I couldn't find it again in a few minutes' search, so it may be gone.
Interesting perspective. From a paradoxical perspective, I actually want Intel to stay relevant.

I think that everyone will take advantage of the migration to ARM to push more lock in, despite the supposedly open ARM architecture.

This looks really great! But how do you differ from/compliment what serverless.com offers?
Well the material in question here is without a doubt not copyrighted by the MPA.

And the safe harbour provision only protects Github from hosting or referring people to infringing material, or material that's "subject to infringing activity" (which is different from what's being claimed here as nyaa is very clearly the object).

That said the DMCA contains all kinds of vague phrases, such as

> linking users to an online location containing [...] infringing activity

whatever the hell that may mean.
Perhaps the people writing General Hospital would rather not be doing that, but it makes too much money to cancel and the audience is inelastic, so they decided to have some fun.
Nope, for one thing, the country I live in never implemented anything resembling strict lockdown measures (there were some restrictions on opening hours for businesses, types of businesses that could open and car traffic in city centers) and for another thing, at all times, even during the time least welcoming to going out, I made sure to simply go for solitary walks in parks, streets and public areas while avoiding any crowds. I know that in some countries (disgracefully in my view) even leaving home for a solitary walk or with family you live with anyhow was forbidden, but where it isn't anyone who's been feeling more than a bit claustrophobic should sincerely just go out and get some air on a regular basis. It is possible to do this without overly exposing yourself, and it can be done in the company of any people you in any case might share your home and intimate air with.
More specifically, at least in industry, we need SRE / ops support to mature. Taking a team of people who are highly specialized at the research layer of a statistical computing problem, then treating them like they are immature when they get massively overloaded also solving credential management, Kubernetes config, web service hardening, efficient data pipelining, etc. etc. is just such a whiny and immature thing to see come out of infra / ops team leaders, that leads to burning out ML engineers, and wasting a lot of money failing to extract value from their comparative advantage for the business just because infra / ops leaders can’t get it together and solve ML coordination problems.
I'm not talking about moderation here. I'm talking about the fact that Facebook promotes certain content in user's feeds (including content that these users have no direct relationship to - they're not friends with the author nor follow him) in order to generate "engagement". This should stop.

Regarding moderation, it's true that you can't moderate billions of people with 100% accuracy, but you can discourage them from posting undesirable content in the first place by associating real consequences such a a permanent ban (or a monetary loss, by charging an entry fee to create an account) or make them earn the privilege of posting content (for example, not being able to post links until your account has certain reputation of good behavior).

Discouraging people from posting bad content, and not amplifying the reach of bad content for engagement's sake should go a long way.
There is a massive secondary market for cars, and those costs scale much higher than producing a AAA video game, but you don't see car manufacturers blaming used car lots?

Perhaps the game's price should reflect the cost of production, or they should limit the cost of production to what's sustainable by sales.

> DMCA also is submitted under penalty of perjury

No, it's not, except for the claim to copyright ownership of the allegedly infringed work. Particularly, the claim of infringement is not made under penalty of perjury (which makes some sense, as it is a legal and not a factual claim, but you don't have to allege the factual basis for the claim of infringement under penalty of perjury, either.)
Same here. With chrome it worked.

Not sure what you mean about "wanting to leave it behind." If you've been out in public recently, or on instagram or Facebook this is what women are posting and dressing like more than ever. At the gym yesterday a woman was doing squats in a thong with built in leggings. People may say one thing but they have sexualized themselves more than ever, and certainly men don't seem to be complaining about the new looks.
The Nyaa.si devs addressed those notices described in the torrentfreak article on their twitter back in November:

At least in Spain* it does not work like that, there are very stringent limitations on what you can record on the street, e.g. through dashcams or tesla sentinel mode:

https://www.aepd.es/sites/default/files/2019-09/informe-juri...

For example, you can't use dashcam recordings of an accident in trial.

* And I don't want to spend a bunch of time reading law but quite sure this is very tied in with GDPR, so I'd say that most probably in all Europe everything you record on the street is still subject to the privacy rights of whomever you record.

Ask HN: Desktop as a Service for Personal Use?
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience/suggestions about providers of virtual desktops that are suitable for personal use (price/usability/convenience etc.).

I have found that I like having the ability to spin up different virtual machines set up for different projects. For the sake of the argument let's say for example 5 VMs. My current laptop struggles because it's old, and I'm wondering if I can just get a cheap one next time and do everything on the cloud. Also there are issues with storage etc. if I want it accessible from anywhere.

I tried Amazon Workspaces with Amazon linux, it was just ok to work in, and got a bit expensive once the trial period wore off. Also just dealing with the AWS interface stuff was too complicated for my simple needs.

Suggestions? Ideas? Comments?

What about the fact that facebook has an algorithm they made deciding on what posts are presented each user, apparently tailored to drive engagement? They can feature all the controversial posts that stir people up for the clicks. Youtube is similar. One could make a case that these algorithms cause these problems, promoting conspiracies/etc for the clicks.
A browser extension that does exactly this would be useful.
That is not a charitable reading. OP wasn't discussing should or ought, merely real effects. Your book analogy is flawed, considering that, for the most part, books aren't obsoleted when the new console comes out every three years.
