> Including Apple Music currently.

Oh god. The Apple Music web app is so incredibly bad. Hands out the worst web experience I've ever had. It flat out cannot do its function (play music) reliably at all. I’m so confused why they thought it was shippable - they should be embarrassed that this is something they released to paying customers. It’s terrible.

It made me switch to Spotify.
> This is a common LEO practice called "parallel construction" that is used when they don't want to tell you how they actually acquired evidence.

Aside from “if it was parallel cobstruction, the documents obviously wouldn’t reflect it” (which is true but not evidence), what os the evidence of parallel cobstruction here?

> There are three ways they have the key:

There are a lot more than your three:

> 1. A non-FBI intelligence agency hacked a computer containing the private key.

> 2. A US intelligence agency physically beat it out of an American.

> 3. A non-US intelligence agency physically beat it out of a non-American.

1a. remove non- before FBI in 1.

2a/3a. Swap US and non-US in 2/3 (US intelligence agencies operate abroad and vice versa).

4. An agent of US intelligence infiltrated DarkSide and got access to the key without beating it out of anyone.

5. #4, but An agent of non-US intelligence did the same. The sponsoring nation provided the info to the US for foreign relations reasons.

6. A foreign intelligence service had contact with DarkSide and, for reasons, requested (likely with additional threat or inducement, express or implied) the information and that the funds be left there, and provided it to the FBI.

I think that’s only seems, as I can’t think of any reason why they would axe things randomly. It seems way more likely to me they know something about that hardware selection we haven’t thought of yet.
I remember a lot of stuff having NiMH for a long time throughout the 90s, seemed like it took LiIon a lot longer to catch on.
That guy, Jovan Pulitzer, of election audit fame, claims to have patents on this. Not saying anything.... Just it's a popular field, and seems like lots of people piling in...... Without expected results....
Almost every investor is either directly or indirectly invested in companies that provide dividends.

As for other examples, housing is another popular one.
> Believe me, kids nowadays don't want to fight.

This zeitgeist is not ubiquitous. There are plenty of newly minted adults who jump into the military. Not all of them are lifers, but the government incentives are very good for the poor facing minimum wage at a McDonald's.
Here's the thing. We aren't an organization and most of us would probably be prohibited from joining such under the usual employment contracts. Nobody is making money from it as is.

The librarians themselves are entirely self organized and basically work independently of the code base developers. They are generally not programmers at all (and don't need to be).

While there are some efforts underway to start slushing around the donation balance we have gained, it takes time when everyone is largely a volunteer with limited time.

Note that you're talking in the past tense.
Creating a facebook clone has been done by many and some like vk have achieved regional success but they are in that unique position because of brand. Facebook started to be used as a word I'll facebook you meant I will write you. That is similiar to I'll google that means to search for something.

Facebook playbook for market rise is legendary. The limited rollout, the college based communities based on your edu email created this campus privacy and campus group. Starting off with the ivy league schools and slowly working into other schools created this demand as people talked. By the time facebook opened to the general public they had such a buzz. When they rolled out to this group they included one killer feature.. they allowed you to give your hotmail email/password and they would get a list of your contacts from your email and invite them to facebook. That brought in your aunt, brother, old friends to facebook. That created a network effect. Throw in the whatapps story and instagram story and an election/congressional hearings and you have facebook today.

The code part seems so minor. Retracing their steps is impossible. The path to facebook killer is a huge challenge to think that could only be done in a weekend is crazy.
The link is helpful. But just to get a feel for the language it would be nice to have a simple “Hello world” example in the main yatima README.
Clearly. But I guess it is not outright proven that they are technically buying links. Though they would likely fall under some form of bad behavior in Google's eyes.

And, buying or otherwise, I am not sure what the mechanism is for bringing this to Googles attention.

I doubt there is another acquisition channel for a project like this that would compare to SEO (and not just Google).
The dev of it uses it to code the program itself.

or by "in possession of the private key" they mean "Coinbase generated the private key earlier and just gave it to the FBI"

the amateur hour doesn't stop there though
Hmm. Looks like your previous submission of this, 13 days ago, is flagged and dead: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=21stcenturywire.com

There's another flagged dead submission on the same day...
You get plenty of sleep, exercise, and manage to take breaks. You read books and are in a good relationship. And you like what you do. It sounds like you're living the dream.

Maybe try to spend more time outside in nature.
This sounds fun! Can you please reply with the name of the game?
Maybe, but that might be risky in the sense that if a chip has completely faulty behaviour at high clock speed (I'm not familiar with how they bin things in practice) they can sell it as a low speed one. Intel like to segment their products, but it's not completely for profit.
> greatest genius [...] was understanding the market.

So many people doing product development work of one sort or another fail to understand this to their detriment.

You have to screw up the engineering for it to kill a product; a mediocre implementation is often times just fine, especially if you are early.

But if you are building the wrong thing, no amount of implementation talent can save you.
Maybe Microsoft could give apps a way to opt out of this legacy behaviour through the exe manifest, like they already do for long paths: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximu...

For system apps like cmd.exe or explorer.exe, a registry key would be a better solution. That way the end user or sys admin can turn it on or off, whereas the exe manifest is fixed at build time.
Notepad++ has been a Windows application long before Bing was even a twinkle in its creator's eye.

Cancelling your technical platform over decisions that its vendor made decades after you originally picked it (and discarding N*17 man-years of your own hard work) smells of a logical fallacy, though I can't pinpoint which one.
Can you provide a legal definition of what "full documentation" would be?

Are you willfully ignoring the very public statement of his intent that the article is about?

Obviously economic harm is infinitesimal, but reputational harm is more substantial and spreads readily.
But I do already have a choice.

Ive been trading both on traditional exchanges and on a DEX since a few years. I choose depending on availability of the assets ofc as not all assets can be traded on both systems (yet) but I'm defensively not bound by any legal system when I choose the DEX. Its not just technically impossible to reverse a trade its also legally impossible. I have no clue from whom I bough or to whom I sold something and it may as well have been multiple parties for a single trade. There is no way to sue or get sued or revert anything.

>... but that is the vast minority.

How would you know?
I just made 3 examples above that came to my mind who all bring clear benefits and 2 of them are not even legal voids. Lotteries/betting/trading are very well regulated but why would you choose to use a system thats objectively worse (cost of the third party) if you can have it without.
I gain nothing from the fact that I could theoretically sue some big trading or betting corp. All I want is the system to be fair and cheap. I have no intention to sue anyone if I f**up and the fact that someone could sue me because his loses are my profit is quite frankly very scary. Who would want that.
Or imagine you bet against someone and you win, but then you get nothing because it turns out the other parties played with money they dont actually have.
I surely prefer a system where I get what I won and if the other party didn't have the legal right to lose that money the legal system can deal with the parties who stole it I want nothing to do with that.
It's interesting that the author mentions ADHD as a reason to not post full blog posts.

I don't have ADHD but I certainly find a Twitter thread much more distracting than a blog post to read. I need to untrain my mind that the entire message isn't done by the end of the tweet. And ignore all the other crap that Twitter is trying to get me to click on in the trending topics. I have to be extremely interested in a Twitter thread to read it. It's just a horrible format.
This is not how SEO works. Putting a keyword in your page's title/text/etc can help somewhat, but it's a much weaker signal than (say) a couple thousand keyword links from seemingly unrelated sites.
I mean... of course it is.

Someone could (and likely is) building a better Repl.it with Nix and Theia. It's fucking flabbergasting to me that everyone in this thread acts like Repl.it is some magical product.

And that's not even accounting for the half-dozen other production-quality VS-Code-in-browser projects.

Sorry, it's just not a unique space. Not surprising at an that an egostistic founder isn't handling it well.
totally agree. I was picking the least bad option between: a) ignore, b) DIY response. Of course, my opinion, and IMNAL :)
> Does it work for programming?

Yes, you can customize your dictionaries as much as you like and add common words/symbols that you use in programming, and there are decent options for writing in camelCase etc. There's also Emily's symbol dictionary which is good for writing various symbols [1], here's a poster showing all the symbols available in it [2].

> does it work for typing in different languages?

Yes. As long as there's an existing steno theory for the languages you want to use, then you can download those dictionaries and learn those theories. But if there isn't an existing theory/dictionary for a language then you can just use fingerspelling instead [3] (i.e., write letter by letter like on a regular keyboard), although that's ofc much slower than regular Steno is.

Not a single mention of CRDTs or operational transforms in the article. If all you need is a client side database to replicate Figma and Google Docs then they would have long shut down.
(not a lawyer)

My understanding of the situation in US copyright law is that the synthesized images would clearly be derivative works, and thus copyright holders have rights to the (portion of the) output which is derivative.

However, such a use might be considered fair use. (Fair use is not an exception to copyright itself; it just limits what the copyright holder can stop you from doing) There is no perfect checklist of what constitutes fair use, but there are established criteria that weight in favor or against fair use.

Substantiality may weigh in favor of fair use since only some of the input images appears in the output (and less so if mixing many together)

Affect on the original work may weigh against fair use -- if you can use the texture synthesizer instead of buying the original texture reference book.

I think there's limited precedent that machine learning models can claim fair use of their input text, but I'm guessing the specific case of reference textures => texture models may be hard to argue as fair use (unless you have rights to at least most of the inputs)
Sorry, forgot Microsoft and added it.

I had the same experience at the apple store a few years ago, where they asked me for my password. They insisted they needed it to run "hardware checks." I think I ended up just wiping it before giving it to them.

I wasn't happy about it, so I complained to corporate. I got a voicemail a few days later from a very apologetic store manager, saying that they would review the policy (who knows if they did). Furthermore, they found issues with my logic board, and replaced it (out of warranty) for free. So that was nice. Still wouldn't ever turn in a computer for service without wiping it however.
That wasn't a product claim that Intel made. Its like warranty void if opened, no user serviceable parts inside.

There is no legal obligation to sell you an open and fully-documented CPU.
>> A key difference is that the legal pipeline isn’t sensitive to federal funding to govern supply of qualified new lawyers the way the medical pipeline is for doctors, though; there’s nothing analogous in law to the reliance on medicare funding of residency slots in medicine.

This a myth. Residency funding from medicare is an excuse because the funding is so limited and profits are so high. The real bottleneck here is the number of seats opened up by the specialty medical boards. Residents earn very little, under six figures, yet billings for residents are multiples of that. Even after resident stipends, benefits, tooling, and infra, i'm certain medical billings more than cover costs.
Self-driving subways do exist in a number of cities. But generally, train operator aren't a huge cost. While taxi driver serves 1-2 customers at a time, a conductor can easily move around a thousand people in a train. Or compared with trucks, freight trains can be ridiculously long and so paying one guy is really nothing in comparison.
The old Google would have hunted these down mercilessly (Panda update in 2011). What happened to Google these days?
Developing nations that are suffering from heavy food inflation need to do some good old supply side economics. Support farmers as much as possible. Get them access to as many agriculture experts as possible. Let your country develop domestic chemical fertilizer companies. Give them subsidies for staple crops. Encourage the export of cash crops to support the exchange rate and use the dollars to buy oil for your tractors. Do everything in your power to make sure there is enough food for everyone and once you have succeeded, inflation will go away on its own.
Just a hunch but if you Google “South Africa rich poor divide” it might seem a little less strange.
Was the last outage really in 2015
I was hoping they were going to take my money (when I saw the "Join Beta"), unfortunately it is Windows only.
Personally I know only one person working in Go on Windows, I know 40+ either on Linux or MacOS.

I hope for Linux version soon.
That's pretty bad-ass. Looks like the project lead has a lot of hustle?

What does this project do to achieve that yearly budget that other open source / free software projects could learn from?
Computers are the worst solution to any problem except all the others that have been tried before.

Same. I've had them replace phone screens for me multiple times--both in Austin and Atlanta--and neither location asked for the PIN nor reset my phone.
The entire purpose of these layouts is to reduce movement to keys you most use. If you really are using the F-keys hundreds of times a day then it very much is in your ergonomic interest to bring those keys closer to the home row to make accessing them easier than stretching out for them.

In your specific case I'd probably map the layer modifier key on one hand, then map the F-keys like a numpad on the other so there is no same-hand chording. Though I strongly suspect you aren't using all 12 keys and instead are using say the first 5 or 6 only.
Or, maybe something like the FBI knows who's behind it through other means (friendly foreign government, etc.). They contact them and let them know they are going to prosecute to the full extent of the law, long prison sentences. The hackers offer to give the money back in exchange for not being prosecuted, FBI agrees, private key is supplied by hackers.

It's possible they underestimated how serious things would get and got cold feet.
No. People should name-and-shame more often in these sorts of scenarios.
Should it be the other way around, namely do we have proof that the Chinese government interfered? I do acknowledge that it's hard to know for sure that something does not exist. It's just that there's plenty of news on how Chinese government play favors for its auto industry, for Baidu, and for media companies. But somehow I didn't see any report or even anecdote on retailing, and certainly not for Did (some cities tried to regulate both Uber and Didi).
Ahh, the fun of opening a diskeditor in DOS, renaming some folder I wanted to hide to AUX then no teacher could access it and see my hidden treasures. Furthermore they couldn't even backup students folder nor delete my folder, and it was DOS running over Novell Netware. My oh my, the talk I had to hear from University rector himself and the jaws they dropped when I rename it back to some other name so they can finally have access to it. 1996, good times.
"Script kiddies" got their name because 20 years ago any kid could download some code and create a DDoS attack by running a pre-written script. Ransomware hacks seem a bit more sophisticated, even with today's highly modular malware. I think it is an interesting proposal: a fake attack as shown by the disparity in savvy between the attack and the payment, or a really dumb screw up.

EDIT: as "koheripbal" says below, maybe their tumbler is a boob (paraphrased).
An interactive look at how a video signal is made
They were not. In 1998, the second edition of Greenwood/Earnshaw's chemistry textbook came out, a magisterial survey of inorganic chemistry. They state that the major use for lithium is in lithium grease, but "looking to the future, Li/FeSx battery systems are emerging as a potentially viable energy storage system ... and a ... source of power for electric cars". The 1991 edition did not talk about batteries at all.
> All cases I've seen were justified

I have also seen many videos that were, as you put it, engineered for outrage. However, I think any claim that "all" were justified is demonstrably untrue, and there are plenty of videos where unarmed or unprovoked shootings occurred (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRMYVFmEmx8).

> ... and poor health in Floyd case

I enocurage you to watch the entire video if you have not. Keeping your knee on someone's neck long after they have lost conciousness will always present a health risk. Can you explain the scenario where you would maintain a choke hold after a person has lost consciousness and not expect harm to the individual?

> Some of them are sincere and i feel bad that such powerful movement was not used

The movement is in its youth and finding its legs, after a likely unexpected swell of support (financial and otherwise). Time will tell if it has a lasting impact that many hope, but I beleive it is too early to predict what its outcome will be either way.

Ultimately I fail to see the conspiracy claim. "The election was a fraud" is a conspiracy claim, because it asserts a small group of actors manipulated the outcome of the election (i.e. that they conspired) in a specific way. "Racism persists in a systemic way" in America is more general claim made by a wide variety of individuals and there's no singlular claim as far as I can tell?
If you're that adamant about a specific search engine, then you can fork or patch. Notepad++ is open source, so these are both possible options if you feel that strongly about the issue.
I thought Replit started ddosing the site
I had a remaindered tytn 2 as well. Even with a walk through configuring the mobile internet was a bizzare tricky maze. On an iPhone you just inserted a SIM, put in the APN and everything worked? I can see why the iPhone won.

Not to mention the irony that Microsoft quickly abandoned its own platform so the only people keeping it a useable device were Opera, Gmail and Google maps. The Microsoft browser couldn't even cope with the Microsoft website.
The warrant is for a location in Northern California and they needed a warrant to get it.

Use your head man, this means they literally went to a Federal Judge and said "hey we have probable cause that this address is on Coinbase" and the Judge was like "wow that is pretty probable" and then they took the warrant to Coinbase who was like "oh damn that's legit ..... can we squirm out of dealing with this .... no ... oh wow that is our address too, okay here is the private key" and then the FBI transferred it
I agree, there has been a clear, negative direction of stacking complexity in Web development for the past 20 years. It's one of the primary reasons Wordpress has 1/3 of the Web and there is a cottage industry of developers that specialize in just hacking at Wordpress to make it do things it's not particularly great at. Most people and most businesses can't come remotely close to building their own high-functioning sites (from scratch) in a cost effective manner, while getting all the critical details (eg building for SEO) right. So you get an obese do-everything CMS, and throw in some plug-ins, to sort of shim the problem.

Why is Shopify worth $150 billion? Well, other than the bubble, this effect is why. People can't easily build their own ecommerce sites, can't integrate everything they need to, in a way that doesn't cost them a small fortune.

Wix is a pretty mediocre service, clunky and slow. It's worth $15 billion? How in the world does that happen. Well, building sites is super difficult for most people. The opportunity to make that problem better is, apparently, huge.
I naturally sympathize with underdogs and this seems a classic case of bullying and power abuse.

That said, this trend where such disputes are made public including personal details continues to shock me. It must be my European perspective.

In particular, just screen grabbing personal conversations and publishing them to the world without permission, with the person's full name, and then adding accusations...I find appalling.

You may believe it to be quite alright if the person in question is only evil enough, yet I still object even in that case. It breaks the basic expectation of private communication. It smears the person publicly, whom may see his online reputation significantly damaged, possibly forever.

It's impossible to defend yourself against public smearing, as the more you try to counter it, the more attention you give to the original issue, only further increasing damage.

I must be old school to believe that private communication is to remain private.

Furthermore, the victim (whom I fully believe to be a victim) just showed to the world how easily he doxes work relations, which doesn't look great for future employment.

Again, I'm morally on the side of the blogger, but I believe this article could have been far less intrusive by leaving out specific names of individuals. You'd still get the point across.

The real truth is of course that I'm old. Private communication should be treated as a thing of the past. Youngsters don't acknowledge this code of honor, and therefore one should treat private comms as public.
When you hit scale every edge case becomes a reality.
