>What you've misunderstood is it is the copies that are sold, not the copyrights.

Sorry, I'm not following you anymore. I don't even know what you mean by that sentence.

Edit:

>This is not what redistribution means. You seem confused about this word.

But, that's exactly what redistribution entails ...
> I seriously doubt this is true.

Why do you think this is not true? This is something that is quite often discussed and just happened to me.

One comment I made today had one downvote, and I was met with the dreaded “You're positing too much” message, but shortly thereafter someone else upvoted it again to bring it to 1 again, and I could post freely again.

Your opinion seems to be conditioned upon that this is false, but even if it were false, votes simply have a habit of scaring people into saying something others might disagree with. And even Reddit in a less extreme fashion limits one to 1 post per hour on any subreddit where one has negative total karma, which is certainly less extreme, but one can very easily receive negative karma for simply disagreeing and being well within Reddit's rules in how one phrases such disagreement. Simply going to say, r/movies and saying “I disagree, I personally did not like this film at all and thought it was overrated.” too much is all it takes to be limited to one post per hour on r/movies.

> Upvotes, downvotes, etc are all niggling details. The opportunity to enrichment my mind without paying tuition or leaving home etc is extremely valuable to me and has caused me to be thick skinned about a great many things for nearly twelve years now.

Even if these websites did not limit one in any way for being downvoted, they still give visibility based on upvotes, and the psychological effect on others is real, which leads to such places slowly but surely becoming a monoculture which attract more and more users that simply desire an echo-chamber which will lead to more and more users that do not like it, or simply desire a different ech-chamber, to leave.

A real problem I have with r/manga on Reddit is that really only one specific genre is read and discussed there, because all threads about anything else obtain no visibility due to the voting system, the genre is controversial in most other paces, but anyone who criticizes it there is downvoted.

Yeah, that would be my disagreement as well.

Sure, some of Kimball might be obsoleted by modern technology. But I don't think the point of Kimball is cubes, and even if it was, what better is there?

I'd be really interested in what else is there, that is more modern and suited to the modern world.

Data Vault? That probably isn't it, most of all because it's all about the "platform to build you Kimball on" but not the actual business modelling. (But the parts about Metrics Vault and Quality Vault and the "service stuff" are really good.)

Anchor Modelling? That one seems, looking by 2021 eyes, like a way to implement columnar storage and schema-on-read in MS SQL Server using store procedures ... which is probably not actually a good idea.

Puppini Bridge aka. Unified Star Schema seems like interesting concept, especially in self-service space. But even it's proponents warn you it doesn't scale performance-wise and also it is kind of incremental change on Kimball. (But the way the bridge table is kinda adjacency matrix of graph of your objects tickles my inner computer scientist fancy)

So really, what else is there?
This has always been the case.

To live for onself onto one self is hard. Much easier to share your life and convince yourself it has meaning through external validation.

New Vax Implementation
We're not in a real estate bubble
I’m sorry I really don’t get the privacy issue here. It automatically checks for updates, most apps do, and in doing so it appears in the logs for a webserver (and I’m pretty sure most sysadmins want to retain access and error logs)

The error reporting is by an open-source tool and is opt-in.
I’ve found several bugs in SQLite, one of them pretty fundamental and obvious. It’s a complete nightmare to report them, forcing you to use some utterly terrible forum software with limited searching, visibility and a shockingly poor UI. Genuinely the worst and most confusing thing I’ve had to use in the last decade. Sourceforge issue trackers are a step up from this. They also offer no convenient way to test your system using the latest RC/beta/alpha/whatever without manually staying on-top of the releases page and updating it.

I don’t think the rest of the comment warrants much discussion, but I wanted to point that out.
Not sure what language you work in, but in JS we have tooling like prettier so we don't have worry about code formatting so much.

I can't disagree with that :)
I've used Linode and Digital Ocean in the past and more recently Hetzner who are ridiculously cheap. I just don't like the idea of Amazon having access to my bank account exposing me to arbitrary charges.
The key here is that military members are salaried; the situation where they are told to stand around for x hours doing nothing changes nothing financially. It might make the people upset, but what can they realistically do? No show is punishable more strictly than a civilian speeding ticket, AWOL is potentially akin to a DUI or murder charge. And it's rare! Why is that? Because the vast majority are indoctrinated? Or because they truly believe? Somewhere in between? What makes it work (because it does work, usually)?

Without getting too political the underlying answer, in my experienced opinion, is not "I have no choice" but rather "this gives me something to do that matters" even when it isn't "what I want to be doing right now."
I don't see it saying that. Some objects were seen on camera. Others were on radar. I see no report of an object being on both radar and visual (or other spectra) simultaneously. And they certainly have not released any actual raw data in that regard. Not any raw data full stop (ie no camera original images).

A multi-sensor confirmation would show identical simultaneous movements across different sensors and platforms. Everything short of that is probably explainable due to the specific limitations of individual sensors.
"Consumer Reports said in May that one of its engineers had been able to turn on Autopilot in a Tesla and slip into the back seat while the car kept going. The California Highway Patrol said in May that it had arrested a man who got out of the driver’s seat of his Model 3 while it was moving."

Isn't that generalized to all self-driving features? And won't that preclude self-driving taxis, if Highway Patrol wants to arrest passengers when they don't see a driver? The cop has no idea if something is Autopilot versus Full Self-Driving. I suspect the NYT has no idea, either.
One random and possibly incorrect memory, from back when I was using scikit-image: switching from order=3 to order=2 interpolation on images can reduce CPU usage and... I think memory usage? significantly, for only minor (but real) reduction in quality of output.
Null is garbage and responsible for billions of dollars worth of net loss. I wouldn't list null as one of his achievements.
Are they even confirmed to be "objects"?
Well excuse me for having a preference on how to spend my time and what I want to do on the Internet. Did not realize how pathetic this pretension of mine was to the eyes of the wise bureaucrats in Brussels. I am so lucky they knew better and decided for me how to best start my online experience.

Please accept my humble apologies. I am not worthy of your sublime attention. I am so lucky you exist and are leading me to new heights of progress and civilization. Thank you, sir.
You come on really strong. You and I have tangled before and you assumed the worst about me and yadda.

I've been here a lot of years. I was rate limited at one time. I'm not currently.

I framed that very carefully as my opinion and not an assertion of fact.

It's possible to be Dutch and strongly opinionated on HN and in good standing (not rate limited).

Maybe you are right and I'm wrong. It ain't no big thing. I'm not trying to win an argument here. I'm just making conversation and trying to be helpful, which is something of a bad habit of mine and habits die hard.

You have a good day.
I use Github, but mostly just for work. For example, in one case I was revamping a legacy product entirely, and the customer needed it backed up somewhere. They didn't have a github account, so I made a private project and gave a couple of them access. They will never use that access unless I get hit by a bus, but it is a quick and easy way to both make a secure backup of the code, and give the customer peace of mind that they have a copy of the latest version of that code if they need it (presumably to give to the new programmer, along with a short story about how the last guy got hit by a bus and they don't know how it works but here's the code).

I suppose it does provide some evidence that you know something about programming, but to be honest I've never thought oddly about somebody who has no Github profile. Talking to them about coding for a few minutes will give you a better idea of that.
When I was in Civil Air Patrol in the 1980s, in Truckee California (Lake Tahoe) - we were doing marching exercises at our HQ at Truckee Airport, ~7PM or so...

We saw an object way off in the distance, on the other side of the mountain-line shoot straight up from behind the mountains.

We stopped to watch it, and our Commander was a former mechanic on the SR-71, so we asked him what it was.... It was back-lit by a full moon at the time and perfectly clear skies.

He mumbled "im not sure yet..."

And within literally 2 seconds - the craft was hovering directly above us. It was the typical TR-3B type design, triangle with lights at the corners and one in the middle.

However this thing was MASSIVE.

It was larger than two of the Hangar rows at the airport, was hovering about 50 feet above us, 100% silent, and it slowly rotated a few degrees counter-clockwise as we watched it.

Our Commander quickly ushered us inside "EVERYONE INSIDE NOW!"

and we all scurried to get back to our office hangar...

He would never speak of the incident. But to this day, I will never forget the image of that thing floating above us, and just how immense this thing was.
Ragge (Anders Magnusson), NetBSD-VAX maintainer (who also worked on pcc and many other projects), has started to work on an FPGA implementation of the VAX instruction set. The current version already passes some of the DEC test programs.

> Sorry, I'm not following you anymore. I don't even know what you mean by that sentence.

The transfer of ownership you referred to is a transfer of ownership of a copy, it is not a transfer of ownership of the original work itself. You misunderstood the passage you quoted to mean that redistribution is transferring ownership of the work itself, as in copyright ownership of the work. But the text you quoted is only talking about transferring ownership of the copies. The text you chose makes more sense in the context of physical copies of books or "phonorecords".
> Well, the good part is that more people speaks Chinese than English. Less people will suffer with language barriers to knowledge.

That's actually not true. More people speak Mandarin as a first language than English (which is third, behind Spanish as well). However, far more people speak English as a second (or third) language than do as a first language, so that English is actually the most widely spoken language.

I thought it was bad, since most applied for jobs while studying (the big companies that come to the uni type of thing) and had jobs lined up. I decided not to disrupt my studies with this so waited until I graduated to look for work.
The second bullet point of the executive summary on page 3 of the PDF.

"Most of the UAP reported probably do represent physical objects given that a majority of UAP were registered across multiple sensors, to include radar, infrared,
electro-optical, weapon seekers, and visual observation"

Page 4 of the PDF, first bullet point:

"144 reports originated from USG sources. Of these, 80 reports involved observation with multiple sensors."
Friend, I feel for you. I was in a similar high-pressure environment several years ago, and it manifested in what was almost a serious accident on my commute. As a result, I sought help via counselling and medication. This brought the anxiety in check, but didn't make me happier. I ended up moving to a different job (slight pay cut) not long after. Later, I was able to move to a role equivalent to my original one, closing the pay gap.

Ideally, your work environment should cater for you to ask for help, or be transparent that you are having challenges with keeping up with the prevailing pace of work (Agile and Scrum should aim for 'sustainable' performance, not exhaustive). If you do Scrum, then retrospectives are an opportunity to raise these kinds of things. If your work culture is unwilling to entertain these sorts of conversations, I would characterize is as unhealthy, and a signal to look elsewhere in the interests of your wellbeing.

Staking ETH isn't risk-free or hassle-free -- you have to keep a validator running and online, on pain of getting slashed. If you're not going to outsource your validators to $CLOUD_PROVIDER or $EXCHANGE (which you shouldn't, since why trust them?), then you have to be forever vigilant of your uptime.

This is painful enough that most people will happily outsource it while collecting yield. What will almost certainly happen is ETH holders will self-organize into a handful of large well-connected staking pools run by exchanges. Heaven forbid your exchange gets hacked or goes offline.

I wonder if it's worth it for Israel to help get Lebanon stabilized. Maybe offer a lot of money in exchange for hizballah disarming? It could be less costly in the long term than the security cost of being constantly on guard for a war.
That’s actually not a good summary at all. You could have quality in, but apply to a different group than was trained on, and get garbage out (eg face recognition trained on one set of races or genders, then try to apply to different races to genders). Or you train on data that’s high quality but is the result of inequity (eg police profiling, or credit worthiness), and then you get inequity out of the model.

Thats my favorite theory on these...
WHENEVER I had (or left) the auto-updates on, I came to regret it, from Windows updates to Android apps. Form it usually takes is (and all of them personally encountered):

- system instability
- just plain data deletion and/or loss
- features not working at all, or quarter-baked
- previous free feature moved to premium or behind the paywall
- incompatibility with previous files
- just plain resetting my previous settings and customizations to defaults
- arriving with the wrong language (based on keyboard layout or location vs my OS-chosen one)
- somebody was frelling bored, so decided to move the position or change a keystroke of the function in the menus - just "because" or "it boosts engagement" or some similar crappy excuse
- plain spyware/malware delivered as an "update" (with app betwixt updates being sold to spammers/scammers)
- app/program sold in the mean time, with the new one preferring to siphon all the telemetry possible (all options conveniently on by default)
- messing up my file or action associations

...and probably 12 other things that don't cross my mind at the moment.

I will bloody update my hardware and my installed (or portable-d) software whenever the frell I please. I cannot stand the mommy-gloves and mommy-stance I am subjected to

I do not have will nor time to battle with that. My largest "attack surface" in any/all meanings of the word comes from auto-updatijg. So, off with your hea-- auto-updates.

I've been blocking/filtering all auto-updates and all Internet access to all apps/programs/OSes where ever possible. Whenever possible, I use portable versions that don't require installation, and I have a huge software library; letting things run amok is not an option.

I've been doing it for a decade now (in different, but ever enlarging scope), and I've never been happier. Nothing breaks. Things work. AS THEY SHOULD. And nobody forcefeeds me the crap 95% of the "common folk" are subjected to.

Yes, this is a rant. And the topic is a sore one. I'm just so, so, so bloody sick of it.
Haven't use Windows for a while, on macOS I used to use NFS to access files on a LAN server but switched to WebDAV as well because it seems easier and cleaner to use WebDAV compare to SMB/NFS, since it does not require extra services or opened ports on server.

Nowadays I mainly use linux distro, the main use case of accessing files from LAN server is watching movies or TV series. I just create m3u/m3u8 playlist on server and play it through HTTP (not necessarily use WebDAV in this case). this way could avoid potential troubles I could get from mounting a remote directory.

# LAN server
ls -1 *.mp4 >playlist.m3u
# computer, mpv with "save-position-on-quit"
mpv http://raspberrypi.lan/path/to/playlist.m3u

What would you say were the big news hits of the last year? Also why do you need to be there soon enough?

Reflecting for myself, I used to feel the same way, but quit news about 6 months ago and have never felt happier. No longer am I sinking valuable hours into something that didn't bring me happiness or help me better myself.
Is there a plan to tighter integrate into k8s, potentially in a multi-cluster/federated setting. It's a lot easier to get buy-ins for ray adoption from infra teams where k8s is the centralized compute substrate.
I have literally done this once with a friend of mine, transfer a file over netcat. It cost us about 10 minutes of figuring out the exact commands, and we were at the same LAN party, and thus had a direct network path to each others systems. With most consumer routers and their NAT this would be much more complicated. And this was with a friend with high unix knowledge, so not just the "I know how to paste commands from askubuntu" knowledge.

So yeah, just being able to copy curl commands from a website certainly has value over configuring complicated commands.
How about for backup and access to your repo from everywhere, including the ability to collaborate with a friend/collaborator, or have your code visble whenever need (e.g. for an interview).

It's called "distributed version control", and it's not (and never was) about stars and social following. Those that look for stars and forks and PRs don't do it in the way Instagrammers do it (at least not as much, there would obviously be some validation and penis-measurement like element), but to build a community around their software.
Looking forward to someone finally merging XDG base directory support.
Chisel imho solves the "synthesizable subset" problem quite elegantly: All Chisel constructs are simple, synthesizable circuit elements and boolean functions (+ functions on fixed size integers that can be converted into boolean functions).
All automation happens in the meta-language which in this case is Scala. Chisel was always intended for synthesizable hardware!
>"publish" and "share" mean redistribution

No. That's something you believe, but it's not necessarily true.

Check here, https://copyrightalliance.org/faqs/what-rights-copyright-own...

Again, distribution has to do with a transfer of ownership. In layman terms, Github can show your code to others but it cannot give (as in ownership) your code to them. It's a bit tricky here since on the web showing something literally means making a copy at some point, but try to view things under the light of "who owns what" and it's a bit easier to grasp.

If you browse through someone's repository, it's pretty clear who the owner of that code is, if a program gives you a chunk of code that it "got from somewhere" there's definitely some sort of change of ownership operation going on; which in this case is interesting, as it went from attributed to someone to missing/unknown.

- End-to-end encrypted

- Send up to 10 GB and get a share link in 1 second

- Files are hosted for 24 hours so you don't have to be online at the same time as the receiver

- There's no need to wait for your files to finish uploading before you can copy the link and send it to your recipient. The recipient can start downloading even before the files have finished uploading.

- Browser-based, nothing to install

- Uses RFC 8188, same as Firefox Send. Open source here: https://github.com/SocketDev/wormhole-crypto
Well, you misrepresented a lot of what I said, but I will focus on this:

> You're trying to argue that politics is based on biological kinship and you're simply not supporting that claim in anything you say.

No. What I am arguing is that in ANY group of people, politics emerges naturally. And as a second argument, "close kinship" is the most natural way that people have grouped historically and up to this very day. And throughout history there is no closer kinship than biological relationships to one another.

That is it. I am not arguing that race is important for politics to emerge or that people can't group in any way they feel like (Brown fans, eg), or that biology begets politics or anything like that.
