There are thousands and thousands of pages and case law covering all sorts of these types of laws.

I am referencing this stuff in general. When talking about IP or employment law, or any of this stuff, in general, basically nobody is going to be able to quote an exact line number, because of just how many pages in all sorts of laws, that this stuff covers.

Once again, I am talking about all of this stuff in general. Surely you should be able to see how there is some risk involved in this kind of stuff.

Dunno about this version of Xcode but on Mac I tend to map Caps Lock to Ctrl so either in Vim or an emulation layer I can just use Ctrl+[ which is the same thing as <ESC> and doesn't require a new mapping, which can differ as to the if and how depending on emulation layer

"Google has turned into a cesspool."

That's a bit harsh but I agree that it is starting to fail to live up to the expectations I had with Google when it came out and destroyed Altavista in a spectacular shower of sparks.

Could I tender: "uBlacklist" as a stop gap, amongst others as we await Google being given a right old kicking?

Despite being a staunch Arch Linux user I have to deal with rather a lot of MS Windows related stuff. Being able to filter out that bloody awful Microsoft Social thing gets me closer to decent results. The majority of the next 10-100 results will be CnP clones of someone's blog but a human is able to get in reasonably quickly. I'm toying with blocking Stackoverflow and other cough slatwarts to see if results get better for me.

In my opinion: the www has hit a crossroads or perhaps a Spaghetti Junction or a Magic Roundabout for the last five years or so and continuing. However the exits are connected to the entrances on these road systems (take a look at them - they are real junctions. The MR is particularly terrifying but it works really well.)

I still won't use words like cesspool for this but I am increasingly losing my patience over the standard of results from Google. Those featured things (not the Ads - that's fine) at the top which add #blah_blah to the URL to colour search terms yellow is not working for me. The quality of the returns featured in a box are often rubbish too. It would be nice to be able to turn all that stuff off.

I understand that Google are trying to "be" the internet to try and keep the stock ticker pointing north but there seems to be a point when they have overreached themselves and I think that was passed several years ago. I also increasingly feel that Google thinks that it knows best and has removed many choices from their various UIs - that comes across as a bit arrogant.

Many years ago I left Altavista behind for Google. I will move again if I feel I have to. Of course that's not much in the grand scheme of things and I'll probably only take around 100,000 people with me but they have friends - still probably not a big deal.

Who will pay for its creation, maintenance and hosting? Who will judge ranking, disputes, hacks?

Who will have an eye on discrimination issues? Whose jurisdiction will be relevant (think GDPR or the Australian press "gag order" law in the case of that cleric accused of fondling kids)?

Who will take care that the humans who will get exposed to anything from generic violence over vore/gore to pedo content get access to counseling and be fairly paid? Facebook, the world's largest website, hasn't figured out that one ffs.

These questions are ... relatively easy to bypass with an automated engine (all issues can be explained away as "it was the algorithm" and IT-illiterate judges and politicians will accept this), but as soon as you have meaningful human interaction in the loop, you suddenly have humans that can be targeted by lawsuits, police measures and other abuse.

What's the bug? Isn't there a "more..." At the bottom of those long comment pages?
Indeed. I recently noticed this while relying on DDG for documentation for Common Lisp, a language I still learning. The top-ranking site for any Common Lisp function was an SEO scam site, where clearly someone had hired freelancers to take preexisting CLisp documentation and rewrite it – in poor-quality English – until it would no longer be detectable as copyright violation, then loaded it with ads.

(I just checked and this copycat documentation site has, thankfully, now been pushed down a bit in DDG results.)
Good explanation, though "phase-modulated" is not the whole picture (hah), it's most correctly quadrature amplitude modulated, which is basically a fancy way of saying that there is a modulation in phase and amplitude.

The two signals in the quadrature amplitude modulation are the two color difference signals. While that is the intent and also usually how encoders and decoders are actually implemented, most elegantly the math works out to a different interpretation as well: You can see the phase as the hue (i.e. what color), and the amplitude as the saturation (i.e. how much color).

That alternative interpretation works extremely well to explain the whole scheme without having to explain how and why quadrature amplitude modulation works (which needs a lot of math).

Sorry, that was cost breakdown. To answer your question, chord Qutest DAC. Vandersteen 3a signature time and phase aligned 4 way speakers, pass labs x2.5 Pre-amp, threshold s/150 amp.

It's all class A, time and phase aligned. Then I dedicate the whole room and put speakers 1/3rd out from front wall, 1/5th out from side walls, and listening position at 2/3rds mark.

It's all about flat response, and waves don't like to build very well using odd numbers. The bass traps are the real secret, not allowing the bass to slosh around and drown out the rest of the music. Bass goes 6 directions and you have too put way too much out. It then has to be "trapped" and controlled in order to hear the rest of the music again.
I worked at Symless, which sells a commercial version of Synergy, for a couple of years.

Barrier (a FOSS fork of Synergy) and Synergy are the only solutions that work across all 3 major platforms (macOS, Windows and Linux/X11)

Unfortunately they're buggy as hell, feature incomplete (no drag and drop), and ipadOS and anything Wayland based is unsupported. You also can't control macOS input unless the user manually grants permission (after installation) and on Windows there are still issues with privileged screens by default.

Imho the best commercial cross-platform (Windows and macOS only) tool for the job is Sharemouse, which has a bunch of value add features like multi-machine lock and unlock.

The CEO Amjad Masad has responded in this post.

This is a story told with receipts, and receipts carry a weight of their own. Namely, private emails made public. You can see for yourself whether you'll ever see the other side speak through the language of receipts.

So far all he has done is double down on the story told through the emails.
If your program is simple and LoC are executed one by one and that is totally fine, then FP just takes away the natural relation between LoC and execution and adds another layer of unnecessary complexity.

But when the percentage of concurrent code grows bigger, then it is better - because you lose the LoC<->execution relation anyways.

You can for example see that in Python. Python makes it really hard to break out of that model and have a line of code running while another one is running. That's why paralle and async/concurrent programming is such a PITA in python.

So, in my opinion for some problems the FP style is much better, because instead of "working your way around", you embrace the fact that LoC and execution are inherently decoupled.
Just want to call this post out, as it sounds like someone who didn't pass an interview and is now very biased.

I know the Repl.it team, including Amjad, and they're all some very upstanding people. I'm biased myself.

Often there are localized judgement errors, and treating people via threat of the law is both a mistake (IMO) and also an unfortunately reality for running a company. It's hard to make a determination of what we'd all do if not in the shoes where a former employee is potentially stealing your code/IP.

By the way I thought Artemis was his best book by far. It wasn't all about science and the story wasn't as limited as there wasn't a single isolated individual.

> Communists fought the war betting fully on assumption that they had more soldiers than Hitler had bullets.

This just isn't true. The myth of the endless "Asiatic hordes" and the "human wave attack" (a tactic the Soviets didn't really use) is mostly postwar propaganda, a way to save face by German generals in later accounts to their Cold War allies.

I suggest you read "The Myth of the Eastern Front" for more debunking of false narratives about this, as well as any of Col. David Glantz books on the Eastern Front.

The Soviets didn't win the war because they were numberless. They won it because Germany never had any hope of taking their territory, and because they learned fast and outmaneuvered and out fought the Germans.

Bit of feedback: I think it's fine to state your ideals, but this goes a step further and gets pretty ranty and negative, which is off-putting. It's a free internet, so do what you want, but if you want to attract people to your project I think you could word things better without having to compromise your ideals.
Amjad, don't worry about some of the HN crowd putting you down. When a non-compete agreement is signed, it must be honored. Some (not all) of these people are in my opinion, hypocritical and/or jealous and/or just plain evil. They want to see you go down.

If you must, issue an "apology" to appease these obnoxious folk. Unfortunately, that's how the world is nowadays.
I don’t think it’s an understatement to say that their reach kind of is. If sanctioned the US government could almost certainly 51% attack any given crypto and redirect funds to whoever they want. This isn’t what happened but it’s laughable to think the US government isn’t capable of tracking down the account and seizing coins.
"Because of the declining value of Bitcoin since the ransom was paid, the U.S. seizure in late May amounted to $2.3 million, just over half the $4.4 million paid weeks earlier after the ransom was demanded."

Didn't Bitcoin only dive by 30% and only very briefly? This seems like an odd sentence.
I mean... those are organisations that are support a collective ideal.

People that buy into that ideal fund those organisations so they can provide legal support to enact those principles.

The existence of those organisations (or pro bono work) is not a counterpoint to the premise that the US justice system is predicated upon money (and the implied corrolary that the level of justice you receive is proportional to the amount you pay for it).

(having said that, I don't necessarily agree with the flippant comment that you are replying to, but still).
> Really? That is news to me, as a dual US|EU (Croatian) citizen, who is culturally American--but currently living in Croatia.

Yes, and just like that health policy analyst, I can attest to it. I've read more than enough plan documents, and work with health actuaries every day.

> Also, just in case you want to blame this on "lifestyle factors" (which means that this is a public health matter, which the United States has severely underfunded--locally, state, and nationally for more than a few decades now), the third leading cause of death is believed to be preventable medical errors. (The source I provide has been verified by several follow-up studies.)

Actually, there's a fantastic analysis that addresses this point head on, even analyzing the IHME data: https://randomcriticalanalysis.com/2017/05/16/the-explanator...

The vast majority of the variance in average life expectancy is attributable to lifestyle factors. As long as you stay away from drugs, you don't participate in a gang, or you take the bus (or any public transit), you're on roughly equal footing with the rest of the OECD.

"The data suggests motor vehicle accidents, homicides, and drug overdose deaths can explain a large fraction of the US life expectancy gap as compared to several highly developed countries. Obviously this does not account for obesity, diabetes, (historical) smoking, and related lifestyle differences that are likely to have a pronounced negative affects on US life expectancy as compared to most other developed countries and which statistically explains the vast majority of the very large spatial differences in the United States."

> Also, you don't know what you are talking about here. I have studied healthcare systems worldwide for hundreds of hours.

Um, so have I. I literally work on health pricing systems, and have studied health policy. "For hundreds of hours" even, for whatever that's worth (not a lot, I assure you).

> But, seriously, we have far from the best healthcare system in the world. That is not even remotely true. There are several countries where a woman can give birth and is less likely to die, compared to the US.

I don't think I ever said that we have the best healthcare in the world. I agree that US healthcare is broken. All I'm pointing out to you is that the "profit motive" has nothing to do with that, as evidenced by counterfactuals in Switerland, Singapore, and the Netherlands; the former two of which actually have the best healthcare in the world.

In my opinion, the profit motive has nothing to do with America's healthcare ills (no pun intended). It's the fact that it's tied to employment and purchased by employers. No other country is set up that way.
How is that my argument, I haven't even supplied an argument? Don't read between the lines, there was nothing there. I pointed out that you purposefully took the most controversial one. There are several others, see a siblingreply for examples if you really didn't know there were any others.

I wouldn't call me a pro-crypto advocate, just as I wouldn't call you an anti-crypto advocate. I like to keep track of what's happening in the crypto space but I'm not advocating pro or against it.

My opinion on Tether is that there should be a lot more transparency regarding their backed funds and personally I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

What are the benefits of using Yatima over compiling Rust directly too web assembly?

(I'm in the "thinking about it in every free moment" stage of jumping into a project using Rust on both the backend and the frontend via wasm-pack. Is Yatima intended purely/mostly for web assembly/frontend use, or would writing both front and backend in Yatima be a project goal?)

They do, which is why I'd love to see a full copy of the book/CD - the complaint doesn't quote the invitation to contact for licences, and in various online previews I can't see any express wording to that effect (though of course it's implicit if you don't have a licence or other legal reason to use). The "About the CD-ROM" section in the book only says "Original images can be obtained from the author. Write to [PO Box]", which I don't see as being the same as "invit[ing] interested persons to contact Juracek if licenses were desired". I'd be curious if more explicit wording is included elsewhere - it wouldn't necessarily change the outcome, but it'd add strength to the case IMO.

I also find the logic at paragraph 17 somewhat strange:

> The parties were required to contact Juracek to obtain high resolution digital files as the CD-ROM files were not high resolution. For the sake of clarity, anyone seeking a license for the photographs from the book or CD-ROM were required to contact Plaintiff to obtain the photos in a high resolution digital file suitable for commercial use as all rights were reserved as set forth in the copyright notice.

What if you don't need high-resolution images for your particular use? Noting that they had to contact the author to obtain higher resolution images seems irrelevant when determining if they had a licence to use the images present on the CD (unless it's alleged they used the higher resolution images and must have obtained them from another source, which I don't believe is the case).

I think there is a decent chance of a new 16" being released around the time of Monterey.

Based on the lack of an M1x (just an M1 with more cores) showing up by today, I suspect that it doesn't be exist and probably never existed. At this point Apple will go straight to the M2 (next gen cpu/gpu archtecture).

Because Apple has a very regular release cadence for their A-series SoCs of about 1 year, I don't think we will see the M2 launched until closer to the A15's expected release date of September/October.

They shouldn't need to stockpile the M2 as much as they need to stockpile the A15, so I'm hoping for an August launch.
