> and right before this performance, there was a message that said

I understand the legality of it, but this is absurd!

Anyone, anywhere, could watch the original livestream and hear the music.

Or, you could watch it on Twitch, and get commentary on the whole thing by your chosen favourite twitcher, in addition to watching it yourself. But then, for legal reasons, the music was replaced.

You could imagine a technical solution where Twitch just streams the twitcher against a transparent background, and you have to stitch it together yourself with the official stream, resulting in exactly the same experience as if Twitch did that stream stitching directly. That would be ok for legal reasons, even though it's completely identical to the not ok for legal reasons version above. How does that make sense?

Why does it matter, to Metallica, where the streams are stitched together? Why does it matter, to them, that everyone watches the completely free stream of their music from a specific source, and not any other source?

The value to Metallica is that they're getting paid by Blizzard. The value to Blizzard is that it drives attention to Blizzcon. Why does either of those entities care how exactly people are viewing Blizzcon? What matters is that people are watching it, and the how is secondary. But because of copyright laws, the how matters, and we get this absurd state.
I really like the syntax. But it should be compiled to lua, not tcl.
Also the World Wide Web
Again, Metallica did not rootkit anybody. How are they hurting legitimate consumers of their work? Rootkits are not mere inconveniences, they are intentional data breaches. Obviously spreading mis-information using this particular false example is going to distort peoples' understandings of Metallica's actual stance and actions. Hacking consumers directly vs. using the court system to shut down an illegal piracy application is a very real dichotomy.

Properly implemented DRM is fine! Spotify has been a huge success, for example. Watching Netflix fully brings the convenience of streaming to legal content consumption. The only inconvenience here is that you can no longer pirate anything.

I agree, but I would like to add that failure can be a path to learning for many things. However, there is an important, implied motivation factor. To stay motivated, there needs to be some fun involved. I think that engaging and immersive projects should be the basis for all educational pursuits. This kind of learning experience is “sticky.” (see “Made to Stick” by Heaths).

Direction finding/fox hunting is a way to get caught. In reality, if you’re not causing trouble, you’re never going to get looked for, of course.
The internet? And many of its protocols that came with it, including email, etc.

Sidenote, and I dunno if it's what you're implying but many people do: "company x takes decentralized solution, offers services on top that aren't decentralized" doesn't make the whole thing centralized. Git is still a wonderful decentralized tool. There is very little functionality that Github offers on top of git that is particularly centralized -- permissions, maybe, but that's about it and it doesn't make much sense to centralize them. Nearly all of Github's featureset could be, like, a separate app that has nothing to do with git - it competes with the atlassian suite, for example; they just chose to make the projects "repo-centric" and make git a first-class citizen. They've also supported svn for a while.
My solution for that was a second-hand network-based “all in one” device. Those are cheap-ish consumer devices which do not need drivers at all - they can scan directly into JPEG / PDF, and place the result on usb stick, email or google drive. There are no advanced scanning control, but I think it’s worth it because there is no need to worry about scanner drivers, ever.

And if you look around, you can find them for cheap or even for free: Some people buy them, and a few months later, when people discover how much ink cartridges cost and how quickly they dry out if not used regularly, those devices go to attic or trash. That’s when you can get them, even if printer is bad, scanner is likely still ok.
That is indeed compelling for the mismanagement argument.

We actually have the technology to destroy life on the planet with one thing, the cobalt bomb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_bomb It's a salted nuclear bomb made to throw an enormous cloud of radioactive cobalt into the atmosphere of a planet. It would be as if hundreds of Chernobyl powerplants exploded in the air and the fallout would circle the globe, fall on all the people and plants and slowly kill them over a few years. The ecosystem would be devastated and the planet would become unlivable for some time. Luckily we decided hydrogen and neutron bombs were about as bad a device as we wanted to build and left cobalt bombs on the drawing board.
The very first line is quite different from the title.

> After a public relations fiasco, Coca-Cola has effectively conceded that some of its employees participated in a public LinkedIn Learning seminar that advocated that some of its employees be “less white.”

So if I work for Google and out of a bunch of options I take this publicly held LinkedIn seminar using company time, “Google is training employees to be less white”?

Instead of asking that we stop use terrible reporting to reconfirm our own very biased views of the world, I’ll instead ask we do the bare minimum and just stop sharing terrible reporting.
It’s a bad take, or an aspirational one at best. I would love if that were the case, but it is not.

First five words of the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law...”

It’s pretty unambiguous. The United States doesn’t make laws without Congress[1], and if Congress can’t make a law, the President’s Office can’t enforce it.

That however is not as big a limit on Congress as it seems. Congress can make other difficult and tedious laws, and difficult and tedious describes most of the body of Federal law. Congressmen can also threaten to remove statutes which shield people and organizations from liability as a coercive tactic, e.g. Section 230, or write into law that they will withhold Federal funds to States that don’t pass certain laws.

Why can they do this? Two reasons really. A legal body like SCOTUS is in no position to tell a political body like Congress that they cannot. If Congress passes a law that violates the Constitution, Article III courts can strike it down or gut it in court proceedings, but with no law in play and no harmed party there is nothing for the courts to do. Nor can an Article III court stop Congress from passing a law nor remedy a harm by forcing Congress to reinstate a repealed law. The process of lawmaking is impervious to the Courts.

Also, and more importantly: Article I. The House and Senate make their own rules and are charged with enforcing them on their members. The First Amendment prohibits Congress from making certain laws, laws they arguably didn’t have the power to make in Article I in the first place. It doesn’t say a damn thing about the political process of lawmaking, or the conduct of House members and Senators nor prohibit them from using hardball tactics for their own interests or the perceived interests of their constituents and political allies. There are people that would actually like to see Section 230 burn, and if that’s the case, gutting and removing it makes it fair game for politicking.

If the House and Senate as a body are making an attempt to coerce large companies to political ends, there is no one to tell them “No.” except voters, and only through elections. If they had any inkling at all that they were going to receive sufficient pushback from voters as to threaten their seats, these meetings wouldn’t be happening.

The Federal government is the most powerful organization in the United States by far and second place ain’t even close. Congress legally sits atop the governmental hierarchy even when politically they like to play second fiddle to the President. Congress can coerce a lot of people with little to no pushback so long as the targets of coercion are also unpopular, or at the very least, voters are ambivalent towards them.

[1] Another important point. A State is not the United States. Congress is the legislative branch of the United States. Don’t comment to incorrect me on this point.
The ARRL publishes books that would be of interest.

Interesting. I expect that if the physics in one of their books about, for example, antennas is not oriented towards math and physics enough for your liking, you’ll at least get some direction as to what part of a real physics textbook you need to study.

You can use static linking in c++ if you want to. There is 0 advantage in not having the option to use dynamic linking if you want to. It might be even more secure if e.g. the program links dynamically against a commonly used library and this library is updated regularly.

Don't Americans use electric heat pumps / air-conditioning units for cooling and heating, while Europeans more often heat on natural gas? My point is you need to look at the per capita energy use in comparable terms (MJ or BTU/cap perhaps with CO2 MT/cap next to that).

To put it in perspective. In the last month my household of 5 in NL used about 400 kWh of electricity and 400 m3 of gas. Those 400 m3 calculate to about 5 MWh (!) of electrical energy (Dutch gas is about 35 MJ per m3ans my heater is 95% efficient if used optimally). Since I expect Texans to mostly have electrical HVAC mostly for cooling ... My house is very inefficient in comparison.

US: 49% gas, 34% electrical [1]
NL: 90%+ gas [2]

>Stats are stats, but if you live in New York, you notice how 10 years ago people didn't rob Walgreens, and now they rob it all the time practically on an on-going basis. You just take what you need and walk past "security." See some boxes inside a vestibule? They're yours. But it's not just property crime, it's all crime.

I've lived pretty much my whole life in New York City (54 years) and it's safer and better than it's ever been.

Sure, there is crime. But things are so much better than they've been in my lifetime that your complaints ring really hollow to me.

I could recount countless episodes of violence, criminal activity and general bad behavior over the past 45 years or so (with the police certainly not excluded from those. Not by a long shot), but I won't bother. The statistics speak for themselves.

I've had my packages stolen a few times. And if the lazy, rapacious, scumbag managing agents for my apartment building cared to do their jobs, the person(s) (there are several known to me who almost certainly are responsible), would have been identified through the video cameras (I used to have access to them, but that was removed when the building was sold 8 years ago or so) and arrested. And that would be a strong deterrent.

Not sure where you live (although I'd be surprised if you actually lived in NYC given your seeming lack of knowledge about conditions here), but you're flat wrong and have provided exactly zero evidence to support your inaccurate pronouncements.

not an expert (more like a noob) by any means but:

1) from neuroscience point of view you have cortical columns with layers that are wired to send the input forward but to also propagate feedback. the layers constantly predict what is going to happen (by having neurons fire) and usually it’s the delta between what is predicted and what is coming from the sensory system that drives the reinforcement or the weakening of the connections. this sort of sounds like backpropagation to me (but again i may be super ignorant and would appreciate if you can educate me on this if you know more)

2) technically the “input” in the brain is not continuous. I don’t want to go into semantics but at the end of the day you have molecules, ions etc. so the input/transmission is not continuous. the size of the neurotransmitters is so small that it looks like it’s continuous. my point is that, if you take the current model and you have more computing power you could find out that some things translate between the 2 models (we definitely need a way better model of the neuron, but that’s another story)

3) this is a fair point.
Makes sense, the exodus of people who cared mostly already happened, tens of millions switched to Signal, and those people aren't going to come back just because Facebook decides to back down for now.

So what does Facebook have to gain by backing down now?
That’s a very sharp realization, that a lot of people don’t think about.

Email is the largest decentralized network in the world, with people routinely setting up federated instances. It’s the de facto standard protocol for b2b communication. It’s even used as a protocol beyond conversations, for meetings and notifications for example.

By far the most successful application of the ideals of decentralization.

I want my kids in school, because they actually learn more in school then in home school. And they enjoy that learning more. Homeschool did not made me realize how messed up school is. It made me realize teachers do more then I assumed.

And the stuff that is missing at home, even with video calls, is the more intersting stuff around communication. At home learning is slower and more composed of those less fun activities. That is also what my kids were telling me about what they miss from school.

This whole "now people see how horrible schools are" is not sentiment I an getting from people I know. They worry about kids learning less and are trying to figure out how to offset it, they worry about kids not socializing and so on. Maybe your school was horrible place, but the covid situation does not seem to prove that. Instead, it seem to make everyone including kids idealize the school.

I have two kids so they played together and they could play a lot more on tablets, so they were onle little bit more distractive then in person office gets.

> You can't accidentally share memory, you can't bind state through a function call - you have to send a message, and await a response.

These are not strictly a "program on network vs program not on network" issue. "Accidentally sharing memory" can be solved by language design. It is correct that a system that is supposedly designed as inter-actor communication is not ideal when designed and written in a "function call-like" manner, but erlang only partially solves this phenomena by enforcing a type of architecture, which locks away the mentioned bad practice.

> ...despite being extremely similar to service oriented architecture in many ways. Why? Because putting things behind a network can, counter intuitively, lead to more resilient systems.

This is a strange logic. Resilient system is usually achieved by putting a service/module/functionality/whatever in a network of replications, meanwhile service oriented architecture talks about loosening the coupling between different computers that acts differently.

I do agree on microservice != turn function calls into distributed computing problems.

It MAY happen to systems eagerly designed with microservice architecture without a proper prior architectural validations, but it is not always the case.
Apple routinely interacts with security researchers, and pays bug bounties.

It sounds like you haven’t told them any technical details about the exploit, at all. If this is the case, then they have no way to tell you apart from a timewaster or scammer.

If all you have done is tell them you have an exploit and tried to schedule a meeting, it’s unlikely they’ll take you seriously.
the conversation on this thread is bizarre and concerning.

It's stuff...it's literally stuff! The lead example is a blazer...

That commenters are willing to permanently disfigure people because their blazer, or table leg is taken speaks to a lack of seeing others as human. I somehow think their would be an entirely different conversation about appropriate punishment if the article was about fraud or misconduct by the landlords, or centered the article on the landlords not providing reasonable service. my last apartment complex had universal package delivery lockers as a service. This is a totally solvable problem, the landlords are just cheap and as a result lets beat people.

The other comment thread of 'you may well have your statistics but I have an opinion and anecdotes' is just exemplary of why this country has the justice system it does.

lot of hypocrisy from Twitch

amazon has enough money to pay for rights to play the music

and twitch streamers are also full of sh:t, they are the one who refuses their clips to be reused by people on youtube, and when it comes to people's music, they want to be able to freely use them

I never liked this twitch community, they are very toxic and they take everything for granted!

This works for short recordings, but for longer recordings explicit continuous sync is needed, almost universally using Timecode, because normal quartz oscillators are not precise nor stable enough to guarantee single frame accurate sync over, say, an hour (which would be 10 ppm or so, 1/3600*30)
That's still incorrect. I'm happy for there to be disruptions in order to get justice. What I don't agree with is that I'm somehow complicit for society's problems be virtue of being born into it. Or would you be prepared to charge your children with that burden too?
Obscenely poor compared to the ones doing the censoring, however (Twitch aka Amazon).
I can tell you here in SoCal, people simply don't call the police any longer for crimes like this. There are no longer any consequences for low level thievery in California. This sort of thing is rampant in my area, along with other crimes and the criminals know the police won't do anything about it. A lot of this is due to Prop. 47, which basically doesn't allow for enforcement of property crimes under $1000 value. Businesses have been complaining about this too; gangs target stores and have people steal items that stay under the $1000 limit and they act with impunity. Violent crime is also up in my area, we have been averaging of one shooting a night. This is why so many people have been leaving the state in the last few years. I remember reading about some higher end electronic shop in SF shutting down due to the robberies that were happening far too often.
