>I'm astounded

Our political system and over financialized economy seem to suffer from same hyper short term focus that many corporations chasing quarterly returns run in to. No long term planning or focus, and perpetual "election season" thrashing one way or another while nothing is followed through with.

Plus, in 2, 4 or 8 years many of the leaders are gone and making money in lobbying or corporate positions. No possibly short-term-painful but long term beneficial policy gets enacted, etc.

And many still uphold our "values" and our system as the ideal, and question any that would look towards the Chinese model as providing something to learn from. So, I anticipate this trend will continue.
A key issue is volume. Intel is doing many times less volume than the mobile chipmakers. So intel cant spend as much to solve the problem.

It's a bad strategic position to be in, and I agree with Ben's suggestions as one of the only ways out of it.
Personal computers make copyright infringement possible. They need to go.
the marketplace of ideas actually only works when people take the time to look past the branding of something, or the headline, and actually get into the meat and potatoes of the idea itself.

to use your example, both QAnon and "Stop the Steal" had enough evidence that they were able to convince large swaths of people.

dismissing the people who see that evidence as not "rational actors with good judgement" just conflates the problem.

if anything, you assuming that 80+ million people (including several state governments) are incapable of looking at evidece and making up their own minds just because you came to a different conclusion is more of a problem than QAnon and "Stop the Steal" themselves.
Anything requires MSFT legal review, so it'll be at the very least 24 hours or so before they can make decisions like not honoring DMCA complaints.
I thought Boeing had many issues pre-covid, not just the 737 Max. Starliner immediately springs to mind.
As is standard most serious writing formats, the answer to the question(s) posed at the start can be found in the conclusion. You are free to read the conclusion any time you want. For example, I've heard that the best way to read academic papers to read these sections in this order: abstract, intro, conclusion, methods. You can read other sections if you would like, but the core of the papers' message will be in those 4. The rest of the paper provides details.

I do think that more structure would make the blog post easier to read and navigate, but since the information you were seeking is easily found within the structure that exists, I don't think your critique makes much sense.
> If Elasticsearch wasn't such a great product then Amazon would also struggle more with providing a managed version in their cloud.

They do struggle a little bit on their AWS ES offerings if you go across certain threshold.

> I wonder if the monetisation strategy, which is basically Elastic Cloud, is the best option for Elastic.

Redis has RedisLab (cloud) and I can tell you AWS EC Redis does eat some of their customers through various reasons.
Hi, I have a need to know the price of Liquidity Pool shares without relying on many oracles and multiple ABI calls

Can Tensorflow help me with keeping pricing?
Appearances can be deceiving.

They may have the capacity to do so and just failed to do so. Or the public failed to inform Facebook of the violent messages.
By name it wouldn't but they link to several files where the "offending code" resides, so if they're using examples where someone is downloading a movie then that would prompt for a DMCA.
If there’s anything likely to tip me over the edge (which I am thankfully not close to), it will be another Zoom call.
You could buy a tracker device for this purpose. Presumably it would be possible to repurpose an old smartphone to do the job.

There's also the question of who you want tracking your movements.
The VM that uses takes advantage of hardware-accelerated virtualization, for running amd64 VMs on amd64 CPUs. You don't have hardware-accelerated virtualization for amd64 VMs on any ARM CPUs I know of...
> That is creepy as fuck.

Maybe, but I suspect Thailand is a more united nation than the US.
Waiting for some FAANG employee saying that "Elastic didn't understand the open source ideology"
And neither does it violate any similar law (because not many people know, but the DMCA is not an idea from the US, just barely the US implementation of the 1996 WIPO treaty), in the European Union or anywhere else.

So it really, isn't illegal anywhere (well except obviously authoritarian regimes).
This is a little like saying that we shouldn't have speed limits, because who decides what speed is safe for driving?

We all decide, collectively. That is how society works: a group of people making tradeoffs. Individual sacrifices for the benefit of the group.

Obviously, no tradeoff will make every single person happy. But that doesn't mean we should throw our hands up and let people do 90 in a school zone.
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Father Caughlin was not a plucky underdog speaking truth to power when he downplayed Kristallnacht and blamed the Jews for their own persecution. The "alledged misinformation" was in fact, genuine misinformation. And the vetting process was immediate global condemnation.
The real problem that Elastic doesn't like is that amazon reimplements features as part of their core offering that ES tries to charge for. I'm sure they would have no problem contributing back but Elastic doesn't want these features to become part of the core offering.
1-2 hours by car would actually be preferable to my 2-3 hours by transit, but still bad.

A 20 minute drive to work would be awesome. One of my best friends traded in a commute similar to mine (NYC) for a 15 minute drive (SV) and is immeasurable happier for it.
The real question is, can you compile for ARM and move the binary around as easily as you can for x86?

I'm reasonably sure that you can take a binary compiled with GCC on a P4 back in the day and run it on the latest Zen 3 CPU.

The previous king (current king's father) was revered in Thailand and I think far fewer people had a reason to violate this law. Now that the son is king there's going to be a lot more problems with Thai citizens wanting to be openly critical of him. I married into a Thai family and we've had a lot of discussions about this exact issue, since long before the previous king passed. In my mind you can't have a free and open democracy when you still have these monarchs hanging around and especially when you aren't allowed to be openly critical of them. Thailand has an elected assembly and prime minister, but the king is still head of the military and both the previous king and current king use[d] their influence to stir things up as they saw fit. Thailand has technically been under a military dictatorship (with the king ultimately at the head) since 2014 which is why these lèse-majesté laws are much more frequently enforced now. In my opinion trying to maintain a monarchy (even as a symbolic figure) and democracy doesn't work, they've had 20 different constitutions in Thailand since 1932 and they've had the 4th most coups in the world in modern history. Currently Bangkok is in state of civil unrest with pro-democracy protestors forming the #MilkTeaAlliance with protestors in Hong Kong and Taiwan. We'll see if they are able to enact any real change in the country.

That depends on jurisdiction.

In the EU, it is "dominant market position" (and explicitly so) that's the threshold for the Commission to take competition action, for instance.
A few years ago, I would have agreed. However nowadays I can't even list the SVoD offerings in my country, and last time I searched (or was Stargate SG1), I couldn't find any offering. (One SVoD has it... Only seasons 8 and 9).
I'd be curious to see something similar for the Washington Metro. I'm not great with heights, and some of those escalators felt especially long. It turns out they are--Wheaton Station has the longest escalator in the Western hemisphere.
I remember there being a few posts about companies/foundations relicensing their code in about the last three months. Their approach was relicense to be AGPLv3 for their OSS license and allowing interested parties to pay for a commercial license. However, contributors had to license their code as both AGPLv3 and BSD if I remember correctly.

Does anyone using the above approach have any comments about how well this approach is working for them?
Anything free in this area is not worth your time. Pay for recommended courses or abandon the idea.
It is also a source of culture shock for Americans like me who visit friends and relatives that watch television. I mean, I watch netflix, but haven't ever had a cable subscription, and while I have a digital antena, I pretty much never use it. Visiting a home where the TV is on constantly is shocking, with all the ads and the viewpoints presented. It really shows how much the media fracturing is helping drive the political divide in the country too. I can't really imagine having those messages constantly pounded into my head.
What do you mean?

Also, I think there's a typo in your last phrase.
It doesn't actually have anything to do with the choice of the Apache license, though you would still be correct in that case. Elastic made users sign a CLA which signs over contributor rights for distribution without any conditions whatsoever, which means that for all they care Elastic could have relicensed it as closed-source, proprietary software.

The point is not that they couldn't do this, but that it's a dick move which betrays the trust of their community, and is ultimately harmful to the goals of open source.
Based on the way certain files are listed in the complaint I suspect this is something along the lines of what happened with youtube-dl where there's some part of the test suite, some example, or even some comment in the code that refers to a copyrighted work.

With the repo down I obviously can't verify this hypothesis but it fits.
If you only want an answer to that question, I guess so, but answering that question is far from the only purpose of the post, as stated. I found it far from clickbaity. The title of both the article and the HN post imply it's more a story about how they tore it down and all sorts of internal details.
A music colossus already tried this, and Tidal landed with a thud.

People are loyal to artists, not labels, and artists change labels on a fairly regular basis. It's not like TV where shows generally live and die on a single channel, and maybe get salvaged onto a second one.

You're joking, but in some countries there are taxes on blank recording media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy
Microsoft would never do that unless their hands were forced. Too much potential business with them.

We could try forcing their hands by removing all our code from Github?
These requirements seem to be easily within pandoc’s ability though, as it can use a reference docx file.
The business model of having a monopoly on hosting Elastic was never compatible with open source in the first place.

Open source in a business context is built on the premise of several suppliers competing on the same product. I can't help but notice that the increased competition made the product severely less neutered, as Amazon did publish their Elastic distribution as open source just as the model prescribes, and this put pressure on Elastic to reduce some on the limitations from theirs. No Tivoization seemed to have taken place.

While partnering would have been much better for Elastic, I'm not sure Google would have done it better in this case.
Phones provide communication over distances unlike what was previously available. This is something that society has kind of settled into at this point.

Social media is new, and it provides communication fan-out unlike anything we've dealt with before except from people that are powerful enough to be given a platform on major TV networks.

Guns don't kill people, but...
Browsers are open source. I can download illegal content via a browser. Clearly they should DMCA all the browsers.

I'm an author and an software engineer. I can see why Markdown could be slightly better for a writer - but not much better - and honestly it seems like a step down for an editor.

Primarily, all a writer does is write plain text. Probably less than 1% of sentences are anything other than plain text.

There's not a lot of headings or titles. There's not a lot of italics or bold text.

What else is there? What am I missing? What's the benefit?
> Whatever they say, they have the keys to decrypt it.

This is a baseless assertion.
Reading the complaint, it's clear their focus is not on generic tracker source code but on copyrighted file metadata being preloaded into the tracker source code:

> The identified files and code are preconfigured to find and provide infringing copies of our Members’ film and tv content to Nyaa.si users in violation of copyright law.
I'd like to see a democratic/noospheric voice enter the picture, some day. I'm not sure it will be great, but giving the people a way to aggregate their voice, to say for themselves what they find objectionable & undeserving seems due. In a town square, one can just shout over jack-asses. But they keep being invited onto television/media! Stirs up more controversy, keep ratings high.
KFC has got a zany marketing team.
The standard for most serious writing formats is an abstract where the important results of the paper are summarized, and an introduction where the author lays out the structure of the document. And in something shorter without as many sections, you still say the important bits up front.

As the second paragraph of my comment makes clear, the point isn't to critique this particular blog post, it's to wonder why, when the author raises the question, he doesn't then just immediately summarize the answer in one sentence, and why this is so generally common across so much writing. I really do think this is a general phenomenon rather than an isolated issue.

(Also, just as a datapoint: On this separate HN thread I pulled out the conclusion of the OP and posted it as a comment. Even though it was very easy to find since it was simply the last two sentences of the post, readers apparently found my comment extremely helpful and it was upvoted more than 100 times. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25742276 )

At the risk of being labeled a dangerous radical... you know you can go outside, have get-togethers, and live a normal life (realizing that any number of accidents or illnesses could bring it to an abrupt end), right? That’s what we’ve been doing, and it helps a ton.
Contrary to popular opinion: our ancestors survived just fine without dentists for a very long time. Yes, you risk dying, but it's less likely than you think -- your body is pretty good at fixing itself. Wisdom tooth extraction and braces and whatever new money-extraction-technique-du-jour will come out tomorrow is probably not necessary.

Anecdote: when I was a kid, I used to visit a dentist who would always "find" 5-6 cavities every year. After a few years my parents took me for a second opinion elsewhere, and it turned out those cavities weren't really there. Ever since then, I've somewhat distrusted dentists... When I was in my early teens, I was told I needed braces. I declined, and two decades later, my teeth look straight and are fine. In my late teens I was told I needed my wisdom teeth extracted... I declined, and same as before, my teeth are fine now almost 20 years later.

My personal stance now is: avoid processed sugar (for teeth and health in general), brush your teeth, and go to the dentist if something hurts and don't go away within a few weeks. Otherwise dentistry is pretty scammy as a whole.
But the real question is whether the defendant's rights were violated. Even if one knew they weren't supposed to murder, would a prosecution contrary to what's written in law violate their rights? At the least, it seems like a due process violation.
It's not that I just want the answer, I want to know the answer so I can judge whether the lengthy exposition is likely to be interesting and so worth reading.

From the article:

> Coughlin saw things differently. He blamed Jews for their own persecution and claimed in the sermon that the Nazis had actually been lenient. Only a few synagogues were burned, he lied, adding: “German citizen Jews were not molested officially in the conduct of their business.” And communists, not Jews, were the real targets of the Nazi mobs, according to Coughlin.

Can you clarify, do you suspect this information is not accurate? Or you think it's not sufficient to judge the effect of Coughlin's broadcast and the matter needs to be "pursued further"? (How, what sort of pursuit, what would we be looking to find?) Or something else?

Coughlin wasn't secretive about what he believed, and he was banned from certain stations for exactly what he said on the radio, I think? I'm confused what sort of additional vetting you are suggesting should have happened, by whom. I could respect better an argument that it's worrisome when large corporations can ban people for their political views... but you are arguing that Coughlin's political views were misunderstood? Really? How so?

Or wait, from the first paragraph, that Coughlin wasn't really banned for what he said on the radio, but for... critisizing the local government? With what sort of critisism? You realize it wasn't actually the government that banned him, it was a choice of individual broadcasters not to broadcast him?
Moral of story: FB and Twitter can do whatever they want, because they have more baby pictures. Any new social network has fewer baby pictures, and therefore can be held to a higher standard, to the point that it will be obliterated before it has a real chance to compete.
Looking around at other replies it seems that pretty consistently the folks that are taking this the worst are the ones who live in small urban apartments, and the ones who are getting by better are those who chose to live far out in the burbs or rural areas with bigger homes and a dedicated office space. Im in the second group and am taking it pretty well—I certainly don’t miss my 4+ hour per day commute, and I am dreading going back to having to be in the office. But I can also see how this is pretty much prison for people who decided to live in the city.

I never thought I’d like remote work or could be productive that way, but now I’m convinced. But I definitely need the private space to do it. I could never do this from a 400 sqft apartment.
yeah, this reads as more of an attempt against the torrent tracker site, rather than the tracker software itself.

Not sure if Fastmail's filtering is as extensive as ProtonMail, but it seems there are several common headers that do a fairly good job of sorting emails into types. ProtonMail suggests filtering based on these headers[0].

For updates, I've got a filter based on substrings in the subject like "receipt", "invoice", "latest bill" which does fairly well at catching that transactional type of email.

It definitely takes more time than Google's implementation, but in curating the filters myself I've found I've been left with a cleaner, more organised inbox.
