NEW RELEASE: Open-source JavaScript module to cache GraphQL queries
Quell is an open source, lightweight JavaScript library providing a client- and server-side caching solution for applications that leverage GraphQL. The newest version now supports a broader range of GraphQL features for caching: including aliases, fragments, multiple queries, and nested queries. Quell/Client can integrate with any front-end framework that supports fetch without causing incompatible state management patterns. Quell/Server easily integrates into pre-existing Express server architectures without significant refactoring as it can be imported and used as a piece of Node.js/Express middleware.

Please see the release article here

The RIAA makes many assertions. Whether they are enforceable, or even the correct interpretation of copyright law, is a separate thing.
If you're intentionally playing other peoples' recorded music for the public, then ASCAP and BMI are going to want their money.

That, and it also trips up algorithms that scan live feeds (e.g. Facebook Live, Instagram Live) to make live streaming the encounter more difficult.

There is no security issue here. The security check must be done on the server side. That's it. This article is wrong on the internet.

Lot of times the money were not handed to the employee, executives included. They just stay at the company or paid to the financial company that owned the companies.

Generally, yes:

Subject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:

(1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords;

(2) to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work;

(3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;

(5) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, to display the copyrighted work publicly; and

(6) in the case of sound recordings, to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.

There are some exceptions to this regarding specific permitted performances at 17 USC § 110 as well as the general exception to copyright in fair use at 17 USC § 107, but I don’t see an obvious argument that these or any other copyright exceptions apply to this use for this purpose. (I can see an argument that the police use would render the recording and reuse by the person recording the officer fair use, but that's not an issue here, because we already know that copyright protection schemes by platforms are hostile to fair use.)

Before someone asks about why can't this work be automated, here's the FAQ where she answers this question.

https://scienceintegritydigest.com/frequently-asked-question...
> what if it were an attack which exposes a lot of private information?

Then it wouldn't be "a prime example of attacks making the target stronger", it would be a, err, sub-prime example?
I think it’s a little misguided to praise the officer for allowing them to film. It would be illegal for him to prevent them from filming him performing his duties in a public place. I also find it slightly ridiculous for you to characterize citizens recording their interactions with police for their own protection as a “citizen surveillance state.” The citizens are not the state. The police here are representatives of the state and must be held to account in every interaction with civilians.
I don’t deny that it’s a high-pressure situation for an individual to be in, and like you I find it hard to personally fault him for his strategy to prevent going viral. AFAIK it’s legally fine, and ethically grey depending on his exact intentions, which we can’t really know. In this case however, it’s more likely to result in a Streisand effect.

Edit: on reading the rest of this thread I’m more convinced of the dubious legality of the cop’s playing music with the expectation that the recording will be made public
I don't follow; what need the gp be careful of?

(I do see the post is now flagged but presume that's users disagreeing & abusing the flag button as it's within guidelines; I see what users may disagree with but still don't see what they should be "careful" about)
Warren was certainly more familiar with the guts of MQL than anybody else, but PathQuery was designed for Google. PathQuery was actually the second system he built for extracting protobufs from graphs. He was also a longtime functional languages aficionado and the prototype implementation of PathQuery was written in Haskell. It took many smart-person-hours to get Warren's interpreter to work at Google scale and speed.

I think what differentiates PathQuery from many "query languages" is that it takes on the task of transforming that data into somebody else's schema (aka "turning protos into other protos"). Having a DSL for this is particularly attractive in a company that will otherwise expect you to do string formatting in C++. But even under normal circumstances there are wins from having data transformation vertically integrated with your query language.
It also makes sense as a quid pro quo. But we can only speculate either way.

Exactly. Or imagine people spending their time finding security flaws and collecting bug bounties as a career instead of just reporting security issues whenever they occasionally happened upon them.
As if "locking it in" weren't bad enough, the billionaires also propose to lock in the USA system that they have already completely reconstructed to their own benefit.

Corn and soy are not staples for humans, they're staples for industry. What doesn't get exported is used for livestock feed, ethanol, and filler for unhealthy foods. It makes a very small sector of our economy rich, it destroys huge swaths of our nation's ecology, and that result damages the health of animals (including us).

Feeding the nation isn't hard. We could feed this nation five times over with the amount of food we produce. The problem is, we'd probably shrivel up and die, because wheat, corn and soy aren't enough to keep a population healthy. We could actually produce more nutrition and calories with a fraction of the land just by switching from corn to oats. But then you'd be producing less, and hence selling less. That's not as profitable!

And vegetables are luxuries in the same sense that "nutrition" is a luxury. Just because humanity has historically had a shit diet (since the adoption of agriculture) doesn't mean it's a great idea to stop eating vegetables, or produce less of them. We get plenty of calories already - too many in fact. And most of the ones we do get are more harmful than good.

It would be better to get people to eat more of those low-calorie vegetables as it would help stem the American obesity crisis. And as we've seen in this report, vegetables already contain fewer nutrients than they did before - a reason to consume more of them, not less!
PAGNIs: Probably Are Gonna Need Its
Are you sure you were fully compliant with Missouri and your localities laws?
I did everything myself for the first 2 years with a similar experience, and then discovered after hiring an accountant that there were entire other taxes and fees and things I was supposed to have been filing and paying (even if they were $0 due kind of things).
Its criminally complicated to actually be compliant with everything, EVEN WITH paid professional support.
> Why should the state incentivize an employee to cut costs, when the state receives 0% of that cost savings?

The ethical Sherrif would use the savings to make other improvements at the prison, or at least some of it. The loophole was that it doesn't stop them from just keeping it.
Yes. Twitter should be free to ban them too. Just because you're mad they don't doesn't mean the law is wrong.
If the state law and city law conflict, shouldn't state law take precedence?

I'm actually not too upset about what the sheriff did. How many people do you think would do differently if they had to take out a $150k loan to cover their predecessor's obligations and then had the chance to feed inmates for less?

My takeaway is the state law clearly needs further modernization. First, it doesn't matter if it costs more. A direct personal incentive to feed people as cheaply as possible directly incentivizes low food quality. There should be some standard of food quality in a developed country. Second, if up to $750k (maybe more) is up for grabs, the sheriff's position because too valuable, which entices corruption. Not that they can't and aren't already be crooked, but they don't need further incentives.

These incentives aren't theoretical. There was a sheriff arrested for essentially starving inmates while pocketing $220k. Of course he only spent a night there.

https://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/09/us/09sheriff.html

There are many allegations about the same thing, but generally judges aren't looking for a fight with the police or the sheriff.
> Don't want videos of cops being posted on the internet? Contact your local representative and have them sponsor a law.

What would a law look like that would prevent people from posting videos of police officers on the internet while also complying with the First Amendment?
did you decide to make your account and post for the first time just to decide what's best for the community that you are definitely part of?
Agreed!

I wanted to explain why it's not that surprising that a very cold place also gets very hot.

It's also why the recent 116°F/47°C day in Portland, just 40 miles from the Pacific, surprises me a more!
I believe the criminal offence of libel (defamatory libel) was abolished in 2010, not sure if there's any other
It's not clear to me why we can't settle to pay damages.

If it was "settle to pay for damages" would that make it okay?

How about "settle to pay for the damages caused?"

I love being pedantic as much as the next guy, but the government doesn't get to define what words mean.
> Ads for legit weight loss products should be allowed

Sorry, why? Pinterest is a privately owned company, they are absolutely entitled to decide who they want to let advertise on their own website. Who are you to tell them what content "should" be displayed to their users?
CS had like $9 fee per trade before they felt the heat from RH. Which btw was fine by me since it was small potatoes if you just casually invest and hold for a year or longer. What they really democratized is incessant day-trading, otm calls on dogshit stocks etc. basically a casino pretending to be a brokerage
You seem to be implying that 45% of the country's voting population who have the free choice to choose whatever political party they want is currently being treated the same as the 12% of the population that is African American (who are not free to choose the color of their skin) during Jim Crow. That is quite the persecution complex and quite a statement. If you are not stating this and I somehow got your intent wrong, my apologies.

Additionally I did not state I want anyone removed from social media, I just stated that private companies are allowed to censor over things that dont fall under a protected status.
The problem is that it's legitimately what the people want. And the people want it because the police are very, very powerful especially in the South, and criminals are very, very much an outgroup. John Oliver did a story on "Air Conditioning" in jails, and how there is essentially no will to fix what is clearly a human rights violation. What he did not explore was the fact that nearly every ordinary citizen in those areas believes that whatever the criminals must endure in prison is better than they deserve, as being arrested and convicted of a crime means you may as well be dead.

This sentiment also reflected in laws that make it difficult to impossible to reintegrate into society, by taking away voting rights, and allowing employers to screen prospects based on previous convictions, and arrests.

What it means is that, in reality, any individual police officer exists in what I call a "Marshall Law Bubble" that allows them to do whatever it is they want to you. It's true they still have to pay lip service to the law, but that's very easy: they just have to memorize a few phrases like "I felt my life was in danger." I'm sure that many ordinary citizens resent the fact that these noble officers have to debase themselves with such a lie, and would prefer those powers to be overt.

My theory is that this is prevalent in the South because speaking truth to power is simply not a cultural value. If you talk back, or challenge authority, it makes you a smart-ass trouble-maker, and that's coming from the people themselves, who elect the judges, the sherrif's who themselves reflect those views.

Only the worst excesses get reported in the news. Sherrif Joe Arpaio was and still is lauded by his community for his overtly racist and illegal behavior, despite a rare conviction (and then pardon by Trump). It's the same story in 2014 with the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, near St. Louis Missouri, and even after Obama's federal team found blatant abuse of power everywhere in the city government. Those in power want it, and no-one who doesn't like it is allowed to speak without severe repurcussions to them personally.

It's tempting to say that if you have democracy in areas with bad people, you get bad government. And there's truth to that. But it also means that democracy has to have a game mechanic that doesn't give the winners ever more "win more" moves. The edge always has to go to the underclass, the losers, the smartasses, the rude and impolite, if democracy is to function.

As for why Southern cultures are particularly problematic around criminal justice, a system built to grind up a largely black underclass, I leave that up the reader.
I'd love to know what PAGNIs people on here recommend.

(I fully expect the list I've provided to be considered highly debatable)

People start their phones rarely.
The complexity of this agreement and its execution are incredible. Not only getting alignment from 130 members, but a system by which companies report their revenue _and the cost of the revenue_ for every country! Future tax avoidance schemes will most likely try to "divert" their costs towards high-revenue countries like the US. After all, what is the profit margin of an iPhone sold in Romania?

For some context, corporate tax makes up around 7% of the US's federal revenue. While this legislation is important, it's a fraction of the overall revenue pie.
I'm curious if the world-at-large would recognize a corporate country though. A country is only a country if other countries recognize it as such.
