You can very well reason about licenses in a logical (mathematical) manner, so it is a bit strange to speak in terms of "empirical" or "anecdotal".
Those kinds of kids were common 10, 20, 50, 100, and more years ago.
Why erase everything? It sounds scary indeed, to just apply auto-censorship. I think they should show the venue as it is.
One thing that matters that people don't consider is that with EV, the operating cost will be lower, so it might actually make sense to switch to somewhat smaller planes flying more different routes.

I think a 30 person plane that can cover the most common routes in populated regions would beat any jet fueled airline in terms of cost.
Many games are designed towards the younger part of the population.

But I am not sold on the idea that only children have a right to culture, art and knowledge regardless of social economic status. There is plenty of good arguments in favor of giving everyone equal access regardless of the ability to pay. The issue tend to come to how society should then go around incentivize and enable those who produce such culture, art and knowledge.

The struggle for economic justice and the equality of persons is not universally admired, so we have to start somewhere. Not suing children for accessing culture, art and knowledge is such start, and it would be great if the law recognized that.
If you don't trust abstractions to handle the inherent complexity of data processing, you won't get anywhere. If you ignore decades of database research, you'll just end up reinventing the wheel badly.

What if you have a new requirement that goes against the grain of your data structures? Do you then have to refactor your entire application? How do you know if your algorithms are efficient, if they are using the right indexes? What happens in your platform if you have a software error during a write? Will you end up with incomplete data? What if two users try to change the same data at the same time, who will win, who will see what? What about hardware failures, power outages, or bit rot?

Essentially, you need to ask yourself these questions every time you make a change to your application, keeping in mind how all the parts of your program interact and what failure modes these interactions can cause. If you ignore these questions and don't have abstractions to take care of them, you will drown in complexity.
I didn’t realize these phones were open enough to even attempt something like this.
So the acceptable targets have just changed. I don't think the complaint was that you can't make fun of jews (or whoever) specifically but about whether comedies of that general type are being made.

Sacha Baron Cohen has changed targets 6+ times in his carrer so there's nothing new there.
Why not? It certainly could under the “foremost superpower” scenario... like the US can today (e.g. Assange, McAffe, Meng Wanzhou (Huawei CFO), ...
Probably quite a bit. Pre-dotcom, Valley salaries mostly didn't scale with higher cost of living. (There are still CoL issues of course, but not as much at the mid/senior FAANG level.) It's one reason I never moved there from the East Coast.
Individual notes, like individual words, are not copyrightable. Longer sequences, however, can be if they are original.
The Sverdrup unit is tolerated because Harald Sverdrup made many key contributions to the science of Oceanography.

He was also a high-level administrator who had a super-power that few administrators have: he understood science as well as people.

And, to top it all off, the book he coauthored with Johnson and Fleming is widely regarded as the foundational document in the field of modern Oceanography.

There is so much to say about Harald Sverdrup that students quickly become comfortable with the occasional use of "Sv" as an abbreviation for 10^6m^3/s.
Yup, even if they're no longer productive in terms of code output, it's worthwhile keeping them around for their knowledge of the systems - you cannot replace that, and if you try, you end up having to either 'archive' their work with a big "we don't know how this works, but it does so do not touch", or re-engineer it from scratch which is very expensive.
The article opens by pooh-poohing the idea that three WIV researchers with flu-like symptoms in November might have had Covid-19, then a couple of paragraphs later asserts that it's well-known that Covid-19 was already circulating in Wuhan in November. Isn't there a contradiction there?

How widely accepted is the notion that Ebola is a bat virus? The last I heard (which was a while ago) the leading theory was a simian reservoir.

> What we’re left with is this: If the WIV had a secret strain (or strains) at least 99 percent similar to Covid-19, it got that raw material from the wild. That would mean there’s at least one wild virus that’s at least 99 percent similar to Covid-19 somewhere in nature, where humans had contact with it at least once. So far, it hasn’t been found, but it’s got to be out there, whether Covid is 100 percent natural or human-tweaked. So, given that Covid (or its direct ancestor) must exist in nature, it’s more likely that it got out naturally (like SARS and MERS) than that it took an undetectable detour through a secure biolab.

Is this really true? Everyone acknowledges that WIV researchers (quite openly and properly) sought out new coronavirus strains, including expeditions into remote mountains etc. to look for bat caves and take samples from bats that would probably never have otherwise had contact with humans. Everyone acknowledges that WIV cultured cells from its samples and worked closely with them under what were, at least in retrospect, inadequate (BSL-2) safety precautions. For a virus that we're all agreed must originate with a bat in a remote cave somewhere to get to a human, yes this is a more complex route than one lost bat biting a farmer or something. But I'm not sure it's really so much less plausible that humans who deliberately collected, studied, and worked closely with this virus for many man-hours might have slipped up once.

(We will probably never know for sure what happened - another thing that everyone acknowledges is that the PRC government destroyed a lot of potentially relevant evidence. On balance I think a purely natural origin is probably most likely, but I do think that the people who dogmatically shouted down any lab leak theory come off a lot worse than those who kept, and keep, an open mind)
It's easy to deny, as long as we include libraries in the definition of "software". ZLib is bundled with macOS, iOS, basically every Linux distribution, every game console and even every Windows 10 installation [1] [2]. Same for extremely common libraries like libpng, Curl, SQLite, Boost and OpenSSL.

When I was in school we usually had at first some drill exercises, and then at the end some bigger problems. I think it was a nice balance, and the problems acted a bit like a reward.
OSSU does a great job. I recently started building a CS curriculum with a focus on giving students a single interactive place to get all the material. You can check it out here if interested: https://GitHub.com/Qvault/curriculum

There's elements of what the housing is designed for too. I'm not sure what the common building materials are there but many houses in the UK are built of brick and not designed for airflow at all. Parts of London hit 38 degrees at one point last year.
I know a lot of game developers that have never messed with Id tech because of the license, so what Carmack is saying makes sense. Yes I’ve read the Id tech code that’s been released but I’ve never thought for one second to use the code because of the license.
What's that supposed to mean? Learning from the giants only counts if it happened while "supervised" by some random lecturer?
weird that you'd create an account to post something that basically amounts to a threat of retribution, in case someone posts something bad about China.
Now they are ubiquitous.

Downplaying it to 'dumb ones' is not helpful when they can solve polynomials without much trouble but are getting burned on concepts that should have been drilled down properly in middle school.
In reality the problem is more complicated and the issue is that the current media of teaching via worksheets and teachers is lacking and insufficient, which renders this debate obsolete. What you have is different parts, learning new stuff, practicing it, but also spaced repetition. Those need to be in balance with each other but also rely on cognitive overload, tiredness and motivation (among others) of the learner. So what you really need for a solution is software that replaces those work sheets and does a good job (as opposed to many of the current cheap learning apps) of giving you the right task at the right time. Eg. it knows that you have been drilling stuff and gotten good at it and so now its time for some more mixed stuff that could be paired with srs (stuff that needs refreshment). I think apps like kahn academy are good but could be improved and personally tried to build my own language learning flashcards app[0] after becoming frustrated with duolingo where I have a 2000 day streak.

It's a bit of a mess. I found that its pretty hard to build a language app.

Erm, the European rocket is called "Ariane". Also if you look up the names of ESA missions, there's plenty of references to European culture (mainly Greek mythology and European scientists).
I think self-teaching is much more about the student than the subject. As for CS (but really, programming) the investment for equipment and learning materials is comparatively next to nothing.
As someone who teaches Human-Computer Interaction in a CS program, I find it odd that there are no HCI topics on that list. Especially, when they say it's a "complete education in computer science". Perhaps it's a matter of tradition etc., but some basic knowledge about HCI might be useful ;)

I'm not surprised, but still, Bush, Licklider, Engelbart, Weiser, Kay, Victor etc. are all about HCI...

You would only get third party insurance, not full coverage. Then it will become much cheaper.

I think it's less about the actual interview and more about the initial opportunity. Some recruiters definitely still filter on degree. And similarly, some companies have special pipelines for big schools they like.

Once you're in the interview, it's more about real experience and knowledge. I think nobody cares whether you got your experience from school or from somewhere else.
Who cares? The academic community is often alienating everybody who is not in academia, degree or not. And where it isn't, it doesn't care if you have a degree or not.
Even if so, I think it is a bit far fetched to image that China will go after pseudoanonymous commenters from 10 years plus in past on an American internet forum.
In what sense? This is about travelling as a tourist, not about what the local laws/cultural norms are.
It doesn't. I'm not sure why you think I think there's a difference. Any corporation that stores our data long-term is a threat to our privacy and our rights.
No, I don't think I will.

Self-censoring just in case one of the most oppressive governments might get powerful enough to get you? That's the first step to making this a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Yeah, Manning books have generally been in the "better than nothing" category for me. Don't know about this book though, it might be an exception.
It's not a different issue. You used academic papers as the standard we could use for open source and it's provably worse.

Even copyright... isn't Elsevier a major copyright holder for all academic papers and thus causing all sorts of problems. It's not like it's all kumbaya out there. The academic world is much worse than GPL and open source on multiple dimensions.

Look up Velon 'on bike highlights' on you tube (especially stages 1 2 and 3 of 2021) also the deTour podcast on you tube.

The tactics can be amazing, though this year, the freak performance of one rider will raise the issue of chemicals - but this has been already been addressed by several commentators - see Dan Lloyd on gcn racing on YouTube.
What is going on behind podacar- multiple, multiple, overlapping stories: still news to me after several years are the tacit deals done between teams.

As for looking sickly: riding 21 days at 5000+ calories intake per day at often over 50kmh doesn't strike me as sickly.

How do you look racing, on a bike? It's tough!!

Sitting at my desk for half my day job seems worse.

You're right that didn't help, but that wasn't the big problem.

Time and time again I saw independent developers making fantastic third-party app replacements for the most popular Android/iPhone apps, like Snapchat. Time and time again I saw them deleted from the Windows Store via a takedown by multimillion/billion dollar companies that didn't want to make a WP app.

I'm sure money was a consideration, but malice was a much bigger factor, and I wouldn't be surprised if Google money played a role in it. A lot of people did not want to see a third mobile OS platform and did what they could to ensure it failed.
Google used to be one of those companies, like Valve or Blizzard, who could be trusted to always ship a home run. Search, gmail, maps, chrome… I’m not sure what happened, but the contrast of Google then vs Google now is stark.

Even Google search barely works anymore. Google image search is completely broken, and I’ve found recently that I’ve been appending “site:reddit.com” to all of my text search queries to actually get useful results.

I’m not sure what this says about the future of Google, or the web in general. Nothing good.
Kudos on the ONI reference :)
I get the feeling that a lot of people think building small things starting from scratch is the only way anything is ever built.

Are they good? bad? Yes. It depends on your circumstances and priorities. Saying this doesn't make a very satisfactory article though.
Yeah, remote work for US companies for US non-geocoded salary is the way to go for Europeans. Imagine getting 900k TC as an E7 at FB Menlo Park vs 233GBP TC (150k base) as an E7 at FB London, with approximately the same living expenses.

There is a bunch of US companies that do that and EU devs can get 200-400k while working from some <1500 EUR monthly expenses place in Europe. Not sure who would care about EU/UK/CH-based FAANGs with the salaries they offer in the EU.
In Germany you are not allowed to pass on the right, so racing into a car merging from the left would be right out.
Sometimes I wonder if maybe there are enough movies. As in, we don't need to make anymore. This applies to music as well in some ways. Music in particular is relatively timeless, transmits well across history, and doesn't suffer technological obsolescence, which means that great music accretes over time. You can't listen to Beethoven and think "Not bad but it's woefully out of date." Old music is also remarkably accessible when you think about it, and one can ejoyably listen to the same music over and over again. Eventually there will be too much to listen to, if that is not the case already. At any rate, the proportion of music to which nobody listens is growing rapidly.

Movies are a bit different, so reaching saturation point will take longer. They depict the world and the world changes. It certainly is possible to watch an old movie and find the not so contemporary context quite jarring. I doubt the next generation will enjoy 1990s American sex comedies very much. Improving movie-making technologies also means that new movies can have something unique, but this seems to have had relatively little impact in the last 50 years and tends to be anti-correlated with quality. Another point arguing against reaching the saturation point is that old movies do become inaccessible. I wanted to watch Au Hasard Balthazar [1] recently and could not find it anywhere.

But the number of movies being made goes up all the time and the world isn't changing so fast anymore. Taxi Driver is nearly 50 years old now but the setting is almost completely familiar. It is in no way diminished by the fact that Travis Bickle doesn't have an iphone. Technology is also going to improve to the point of democratising movie making, where a small team or an individual can make (and even remake!) a feature length movie with relative ease, without leaving their bedroom. So perhaps we will reach the point where there is just too much to watch for people with average consumption rates.

If Apple is anywhere near competent the traffic patterns are useless, all Google can see is ‘data stored on that day was accessed on another day’. All traffic flows through Apple servers and Google has no way of even correlating it to a user.
In 2021, the new way to do code search is to write your search terms and let Copilot fill in the rest of the code.
It really bothers me how you gpl assholes think you own everything that touches your shit. Your toxic code has been intertwined so deeply with software and operating systems that it’s a literal minefield. You and people like you have cost countless headaches, lawyer fees, stress because you fee your code needs to be used and contributed to. It’s a fucking narcissistic license.
Most people that do computer science degrees don't call themselves computer scientists afterward. In fact, the only people I've ever known that call themselves that title are those in academia.
I think playing songs / pieces does have value, especially if you're starting out, in that it trains your motor skills - finding the keys on a piano, strings on a guitar, etc. It won't make you a musician, but it'll get you up to party trick level. Anyway here's wonderwall.

edit: Also your comment misleads on what the article reports. Twitter has not lost safe harbor because "they do gatekeeping and have accepted bias", but because they haven't met the staffing requirements imposed by India on large social media companies:

> The move comes as tension escalates between the Indian government and Twitter. Google, Facebook, and several other firms have partially or fully complied with the IT rules, which among other things, requires any significant social media firm (any firm with over 5 million users in India) to appoint a chief compliant officer, a resident grievance officer, and a so-called nodal contact person to address on-ground concerns.

> Twitter has not complied with any of these requirements, the court filing said. Twitter had no comment on Monday’s filing, but has said in the past that it intends to comply with the IT rules.
Maybe you can but the tweet is just Carmack expressing his opinion.
It could be again though. Microsoft has already been through this hell and come out the other side. Google could too, although I suspect that it will require a similar change of leadership.

In a weird twist, I often find myself knowing more and being more confident about previous (work related) projects after I'm out of them, once I can look at things with hindsight and think about them. And I realize how much I actually know about the domain, to the point where I think "I should go back to that project now" (even if it wouldn't actually work for me like that).
