Drawing a circle isn't a new feature, the feature already exists in the program. It is just that the workflow to use the feature is very burdensome, all they need is a button that does several of the steps at once. It wouldn't implement any new behaviour, it is just a quick button.

Now, it would take some work to implement those quick buttons, sure, but that is purely an UX change it doesn't add any new capabilities to the program, it just makes some actions easier to do.

Basically, the feature lacking in the program are those "quick buttons" which would make adding these simple UX fixes easy rather than burdensome engineering work.
A significant portion of the super-rich believe they are super-rich because they scrutinize bills and are thrifty/smart with money. "If only everyone else was as smart with their money they could be as rich as I am..."
Yes, they are probably irrelevant, but how people are going to accept to change their lifestyle when the wealthiest do not, the message sent to the population has not an irrelevant effect I think.
Your citation supports my point.

The $142k is the inflation adjusted FICA salary threshold, which was lower when this case was heard back in 2013.
Don’t worry, yelling and screaming as a larger self hosted customer doesn’t work either!
I think you have what I am saying backwards. I am saying that the licenses should apply to the output of Copilot, like they apply to the output of compilers.
It's definitely nothing to do with the following string in the response:

> Page copy protected against web site content infringement by Copyscape
> It is now cheaper for the average person to get a ride

Due to a decade of massive losses. This isn’t their real long term cost. It is a scam to make people think it’s cheaper and run normal taxis out of business
"For example, millions of people travel for pleasure on airplanes. From one point to the otherside of the globe. No one gives a damn about that, but hey! Look, rich people on fancy airplanes"

Erm, that is exactly the point of the "mob".

The common people do have to pay the tax, while flying crowded and therefore somewhat efficient - and the rich people with their own fuel wasting private jets should pay no tax at all AND have the privilege of luxery? Where is the reason for this?

"Christ. I feel like I’m witnessing a mob without reason, logic and rational. "

So maybe I am missing something, but the mob reaction seems to be very much based on logic.
This has been really frustrating me lately.

Sometimes I just want to quickly merge a small change (maybe a small config change, 1/2 lines) and then pull on master, branch off and start working again.

I'm regularly having to wait several minutes for the merge and while I know that there are ways around this locally it just annoys me that something so simple is taking so long.

This feels less like an apology and more like Atlassian saying "Us changing a platform which has worked a certain way for years and that breaking your workflow is YOUR PROBLEM. It's you looking at this wrong, merges have been asynchronous all along." despite our many combined millennia of experience being entirely to the contrary.

CAR-T therapy is absolutely how we imagined the “genetic age” would be. However, its applications to liver cancer (as well as other solid tumors) are far away from clinics.

Some cancers haven’t seen much progress in the last 30 years. For example, uveal melanoma is a death sentence, same as 30 years ago. Liver metastases don’t give you any chance.
It the tail is fat, then it absolutely matters to youtube that it is monetized as well. The value proposition of youtube over traditional media has long been that it offers a chance for individuals to be seen, though I don't know to what degree that is still the primary value. Even if it isn't, it costs more per view for youtube to serve less popular videos, since they still need to be distributed around the world. Even if it isn't necessary, it would still be fair for those videos to see at least as much advertising.
PSA for network admins: Note that use-application-dns.net must return NXDOMAIN, not (successfully) resolve to 0.0.0.0.

I see plenty of people just adding it to their hosts file blacklists / DNS overrides like they do for other ad and malware domains, such that it resolves to a bad IP like 0.0.0.0. That's not what you should be doing in this case.
The question is: are you allowed to train a neural network on movies (e.g. For an automated color grading algorithm) and then sell that as a service?
Ask HN: How should one get into Linux kernel development?
No, I think that’s the point.

If I take some code I don’t have a license for, feed it to a compiler (perhaps with some -O4 option that uses deep learning because buzzwords), then is the resulting binary covered under fair use, and therefore free of all license restrictions?

If not, then how is what Copilot is doing any different?
In ancient Rome they didn't have a police force. What they had was essentially muscle for hire, mercenary bands paid by rich and powerful folks to do their bidding. As a regular person, the only thing that could have protected you from one of these groups was another such group.

Same today with the licensing system.
I very much doubt that that kind of exemption will survive into the actual law.

(If it even exists now, I haven't seen the actual draft)
And I'm saying you're mistaken, that feature never really existed. Trying to hack the ellipse tool into "quick buttons" to draw circles would not be what is expected, would not match the capability of other vector drawing tools, and would probably create other UX issues in the process. But of course, if you thought that was a good idea, you could easily make a plugin that does that, and test it out for yourself.
The animation shows replacing 'raise ex' with 'raise' but just leaves the now unused ex in 'catch Exception as ex', and in one of the comments here there's a similar unused name ke in 'Keyerror as ke'. That hurts my C++ eyes a bit, but not having studied a lot of other Python code I wonder: is this a common thing to do, or are these just 2 'bad' examples?
You know, you're right. I got that detail wrong. Must have been confused by the "W" and midwest.
Not exactly that but take a look at https://github.com/mtrencseni/rxe ("literate regex"). I found this on HN and recall the comment thread being good but I can't find it now.
> They can’t impose a tax on jets that use their airspace?

Presumably they already signed aviation treaties that do not allow for this.
What I asked about was the intended use cases, considering transfer.sh and nc. What you mentioned is not one of the many listed use cases. Most of them are to transfer a .txt file.
"So it makes total sense that they exclude those that already pay tax on their fuel from this new tax."

How do the numbers compare?

"LMGT(FY)" is a disrespectful, counter-productive, and weaselly response. Please don't use it. If you make a claim, it's your responsibility to provide evidence (including links) to back it up, and anyone who has actually used Google extensively knows that (1) search results vary per user due to search bubbling and (2) search result quality (and precision) can vary wildly depending on the exact query used.
In Germany, the broker fee is a one time payment. That makes for an complicated calculation, as rentals are usually not fixed-term, and people will expect to stay for several years or decades. Is 900 EUR per month + 1,800 Euro one time payment better or worse than 1,000 Euro per month without a broker fee? Most people do not think like that. 900 < 1,000 Euro, end of story.

Of course, the real problem was that the landlords did not both to negotiate the brokers fee. There was a maximum broker fee defined by law, and everyone just charged the maximum. Not anymore!
That doesn't work. `(?:"Tarzan".*?)*\KTarzan` should behave identically without `\K`, and it will match `"Tarzan" "Tarzan"` because the ungreedy quantifier ? still allows backtracking (it just changes the search order). You want the possessive quantifier + instead; `not_this|(but_this)` is equivalent because regexp engines will not look back into once matched string.
The issue isn't that blockchains lack an automated enforcement of property rights, but that property rights are not enforceable at all (either by an automated system or by courts of justice). Why? Because in order to enforce property rights it is necessary that some authority have the power to seize assets from one person and hand them to another person. Blockchains are designed specifically to prevent that.

Cash doesn't have this problem, because it's a physical object and physical objects can be seized. You seem to be making the point that because sometimes cash is stolen and courts aren't unable to recover it this means that somehow property rights don't apply to cash?

> So there's some popularity point where after people use a platform to talk enough times, the platform is no longer allowed to moderate the speech on it? Why?

Yes, such a point exists. If you have a monopoly, for instance, then you should be subject to very different considerations. If you possess a monopoly on a discussion/communication platform so massive that it has become very important to societal communication and reach, then your ability to do what you want in terms of censoring content, should be curtailed in the favor of promoting free speech rather than the opposite. Meaning even if the monopolist wants to pursue their own political agenda and censor speech, they are barred from doing so. That is the price a corporation should pay for owning such an important platform, their responsibility should be greater, their freedom of action should be restricted more. You may be allowed to sell ads in that important quasi-public square, however you should not be allowed to restrict human rights in the square.

It is said, frequently and incorrectly, that only the government has the ability to censor. That's not correct. A monopoly, well positioned, can accomplish an identical outcome: it can restrict your voice in very comprehensive ways, including up to the point of literally denying you access to the Internet.

And a group of monopolies that conspire together in pursuit of a political agenda, well it's just that much worse.

Facebook (taking into account Facebook core + Instagram + WhatsApp) has a social media monopoly position, or something very close to it. They shouldn't get the same regulatory consideration as a modest sized political forum with 5,000 members.

YouTube has a monopoly in its consumer-upload streaming video segment. It's drastically larger than its comparable peers. Vimeo (who is #2 or #3 these days? I have no idea) should not get the same treatment as YouTube.

Google has a monopoly over search. It should not get the same treatment as DuckDuckGo.

Amazon (as with Walmart), should not get the same regulatory treatment as Joe's little corner grocer.

Twitter for its part, clearly doesn't have such a monopoly, even though it does have a massive, potent platform.

AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile shouldn't be allowed to block your access to a phone account/number, and shouldn't be allowed to censor your calls. For exactly the same reason Facebook shouldn't be allowed to deplatform you.

I think it's very clear we're going that direction, there is no scenario where the biggest platforms escape being regulated in terms of their ability to censor and deplatform. If it has to be done at the state level to start, it will be.
The elephant in the room, what do you do with monopolies and cartels?

How 'pure' is pure libertarian? Do we allow private currencies to be issues by anyone, this used to be a massive problem?

Does someone in 'pure libertatian' society get a free defence attorney or school education? Do we have fire safety laws? We used to have entire cities burn down.

Do we regulate banks and financial markets at all? Do we have a regulator to stop ponzi schemes if the contract explains the mechanisms in fine print?

It feels like there would be a tidal wave of financial machinations where ordinary people would loose their shirts.
Braking against the interstellar medium (and possibly the stellar wind as you get closer) using magnetosail-like devices… between the stars isn’t completely empty but has a diffuse plasma that can be pushed against magnetically or electrostatically. This is how you’d slow down in pretty much any scenario as it is “propellantless.” It’s a big challenge to get the superconducting coils light enough, but it is a critical piece to interstellar flight, particularly if crewed.
Yes, drinking more water may help you lose weight
If anything, YouTube is even more of a monopoly than Google, because while other search engines can index the same internet and show similar results, YouTube competitors don't have the creators behind them to create content for them, and the creators don't want to create content for these platforms since they don't have the users.
There is an absolutely enormous archive of fan-taped Grateful Dead shows out there, someone with much more time and money than me needs to train a network on that!

> "Tarzan"|(Tarzan)

OK that's pretty clever (I certainly never thought of putting a capturing group inside only one side of an "or")...

...but it doesn't seem particularly useful? It probably won't work in most cases where this is just part of a larger expression. You're usually using capturing groups in a particular way for a good reason, and this would mess that up.

In contrast, the lookbehind+lookahead way is the "proper" and intuitive way to write it, and works as part of any larger expression.

So... +100 points for cleverness, but don't actually use this please. :)
a book based on satirising college administration is just too easy. i'd like to read a story lampooning the administration of a free-market think tank. perhaps involving a "woke" libertarian facing the real-world consequences of a populist policy agenda.
> It is NOT cheaper in SF. 2 miles costs at least $20 and can be as high as $40

Can confirm. Arrived at SFO late the other night (1130pm-ish) and Uber wanted $80 to take me from Passenger pickup, to my longterm parking lot which was probably 3 miles away.

I ended up taking a Taxi for $12 + tip.
I don’t think that’s possible because I don’t think there’s any aspect of the runtime type checker that descends into complex type structures. It just checks if runtime type tags match when you invoke an operator, or that an attribute exists when you try to access it.
That's almost a peak oil approach, which was both insufficient and the most accurate possible.

We can only state things in terms of stuff which currently exists. The future will yield different results because new techniques and technologies will come along. But we can't rely on or predict them.

There's a lot of "pons and fleischmanning" when talking about future energy use - mass scale geo-engineering or sucking carbon out of the atmosphere technology, it has to be avoided. The technologies don't exist yet. We have to use real-world stuff.

Using current reality for future projections is inherently defective because of the innovation factor and routinely leads to bad predictions (such as peak oil[1]), but it's the only reality we have and is sadly as good as we're going to get. Anything else (such as say next-gen nuclear) has to be regarded as a fiction in the calculations until it actually exists.

It's messy, sloppy, and requires a large trashcan but the alternative is to get to results that rely on things that literally do not actually exist. Kinda like how the people planning Operation Downfall (the land invasion of japan during ww2) weren't told about all the other things in the works (backroom deal to get Russia to declare war on Japan and the Manhattan project), they had to assume those things would continue to not happen.

[1] - The Hubbert peak was essentially that the amount of energy to extract and refine oil would surpass the energy from the oil and thus make it unsustainable so the operations for oil extraction would cease. New techniques have been developed (such as fracking) which have changed this math, but in 1956, using 1956 knowledge, this was the best prediction possible. It's somewhat Malthusian - who was also as "correct as possible" with the best science that 1798 had to offer. He couldn't factor in, say, the Haber–Bosch process from 112 years in the future in his food growth computations.
All my online dashboards I deal with for various things are buggy and inflexible. Whatever the problem is though, you can usually phone a human who can fix it. If you get rid of humans, it’s just creating a nightmare
Probably due to a good bit of misdirection aided by real spies. The obsession with "communists" always struck me as counter productive. What real Soviet spy would openly operate in communist/pro-Soviet circles? A spy who wanted to stay hidden would be a WASPy white supremacist who'd punch anyone that disrespected the flag.

Intelligence operatives probably feed these communist groups with enough mundane operations to overwhelm the counter-intelligence and ensure they weren't looking under the correct rocks. All while the little old lady who says The Pledge to the flag every day before coming into the office is walking out with photocopies of top secret materials.

Also charger and cable? But that would make them antiecological.
I guess I'm skeptical that taxi driver who takes on less rides is making more money after the cut they give to their company. Or, if you were starting an independent taxi service that you'd make more money taking your own calls and doing your own maintenance anyway.

I'm not surprised its gone down - probably a sign that it used to be very profitable even if not as much so now. I do know plenty of people that can repair cars themselves (one of whom has been uber driving foe years) so perhaps it will only work out for those people. Which seems like a 100% decent outcome.
> We want to have carbon taxes because they address the problem of economic externality in combusting fossil fuels.

I think unified carbon tax with rebates (to be revenue neutral) is what we need to fight climate change.

OTOH, specific taxes for some kind of consumption (like jet fuel tax) is just a power grab by valuing different consumptions in a different ways, regardless of how much CO_2 they emit.
I'm no antenna expert, but it was my understanding that the WWVB signal could be received on a homecrafted Ferrite Rod antenna.

http://prc68.com/I/Loop.shtml

Antenna of this type are a large ferrite rod, with a number of copper loops forming an effective inductor. With some capacitors, you can filter out other signals (forming a notch at the 60,000 Hz signal to get the WWVB)

Not that I've done this before nor am I any kind of expert on radio. But... its not an especially large antenna from my understanding.

--------

I can appreciate the issues of noise. The 60,000 Hz signal is a 1-baud (lol) signal, one-bit every second. So you need 60-seconds to transfer the 60-bits of time information to the receiver.

Any noise within that 60 seconds could destroy the signal and make it inaccurate.
"Fat cat" is a relative term. You might be surprised to know how many people of modest means think that every small business owner is a fat cat.

Hell, I used to own a single family house that I rented out and I had to listen to snarky comments from tenants who assumed I was rich. Newsflash: I'm not!
I'm pretty disenchanted with government due to it being hijacked by those with 1%er money.

Anyway, couldn't the aristocrats (10%ers) writing this do a better job with trade-offs? Like exempt it, but force them to buy carbon credits at a set discounted price?

Pretty sure the 1% knows they can't get away with this without a compromise.
Did you create a throwaway account just to call me a dipshit? For asking an earnest question? I was just interested in why the comment was being voted down, because I'm interested in learning more about the community's standards and moderation policies.

I'd also like to know what my comment was flagged for, but I guess that's out of the question too. It's not very fun being censored with no explanation whatsoever.

Why did you jump to so many conclusions and resort so quickly to namecalling?
What irks me most is how it's useless for day to day transactions. Ethereum has an average fee right now of over $6.50. Nobody is going to use these things seriously as a currency with fees this high.
This cost seems high to me. Installed a horizontal loop geothermal system over an acre of land in Northern Ontario. Had the trench dug out with an excavator (approx 12 + ft deep) and the same guy lay all the pipe and back filled for about less than 10k. If you look in the classifieds you can hire an excavator/operator for about $1k a day. The guys did it all over a week. Our whole system came in under $30k. It was a few years back but I don't think it would cost 70k today.
It's possible to change that hardcoded limit. By default it is 256, but you can bring it all the way up to 2^64 with #![recursion_limit = "18446744073709551615"].
> Kube abstracts the compute and load balancing capabilities to a bare level.

> Everything else can be implemented within kube for at-cost prices.

Until you need something more than a bare service with nothing in it: anything from messaging to databases to storage.

Companies don't usually run a bare-bones service in a kubernetes cluster. It needs to connect somewhere and do stuff. For example, we use BigQuery on GCP. Any idea how it "can be implemented within kube for at-cost prices"?
This is the battle you choose to fight?
Education, for around two thousand years, used to focus around training rhetorical excellence in all students. Relatively recently, it's become more affordable and practical than ever before to supplement rhetoric with written text.

Bullet points and visual aids are crutches that detract from the quality of a speech. However, our culture has this habit of sending adults completely unprepared into high pressure environments armed with what would have been seen as baby level waste-of-time education by any generation before the boomers.

PPTs are water wings for adults who would otherwise drown from the rational terror that they have about public speaking in a professional context. The problem is less related to the format and more related to the notion that it is kind to throw people into the deep end without training them how to swim. It's not a coincidence that most people are terrified of public speaking: it's hard, it's high stakes, and it requires a lot of practice to become comfortable with.
This trick may be thought of as a simplification of the systematic approach to parsing stuff, that is the lexer-parser division of responsibilities.

The lexer uses regexes but only for splitting the input stream of characters into tokens. Identifiers, integers, operators, strings, keywords, opening brackets and whatnot - each type of token is defined by a regex. This part is hopefully deterministic and simple, although the lexer matches regexes for all kinds of tokens at once, which is why lexer generators are often used to generate lexers.

The heavy lifting is done by the actual parser which tries to combine the tokens into something that makes sense from the point of the grammar.

So in this trick the sub-regexes between |'s define the tokens (the lexer part) while the group mechanism selects the single token that we want to keep (a very very simple parser).
The cost of an online news publication is even smaller than a social media site, but we don't limit their speech further.

The editorial power of social media sites is kind of nebulous, I guess we'll have a court case that settles this at some point, but I'm not so sure it's clear now.
