The whole point of DMCA is that it's a relatively recent extensions/addition to the copyright law that USA had before, which matched the Berne convention.

The non-DMCA parts of copyright are pretty much the same in USA as across the whole world, as they have been harmonized with international treaties. The extra requirements of DMCA (e.g. restrictions on circumventing technical measures of copyright protection), however, are country-specific and not widespread elsewhere.

> In one alleged incident, Tucker Bounds, a Facebook communications official, dismissed concerns about the platform’s role in 2016 election manipulation. “It will be a flash in the pan,” Bounds said, according to the affidavit, as reported by the Post. “Some legislators will get pissy. And then in a few weeks they will move on to something else. Meanwhile, we are printing money in the basement, and we are fine.”

Yeah.

More precisely, what I want is something that:

2. Containing no symbols other than the functions I defined

3. That can interface directly with the Linux kernel with zero dependencies

If I bend C enough it turns into something resembling that. Freestanding C, a couple flags to fix the language and the compiler's inline assembly to fulfill the 3rd requirement. I agree that it's not perfect for the role but C compilers are way too important for me to simply disregard them and look for or invent a new language. I'd be giving up too much.

I wish the newer C standards took the time to define previously undefined behavior instead of adding even more cruft to the standard library. C11 is just the opposite of what I wanted.

I think it's just that there's more scrutiny and the cases we hear about are more in the news. Smaller companies, and especially individuals who run businesses, do plenty of dodgy crap that nobody hears about and it never makes the news.

How about treating judges and legislators as if they were insiders of every public company and applying Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to them?

Section 16 currently applies to officers, directors, and anyone who holds 10% of the stock of a company.

These people have to disclose all of their trades, and they are not allowed to make any profitable "short-swing" trades in the stock. A trade is a short-swing trade if it occurs within 6 months of a trade in the opposite direction.

Section 16 is brilliant in how it is enforced. It allows any shareholder to sue the short-swing trader. The plaintiff does not have to have been a shareholder at the time of the trade. They only have to be a shareholder at the time of the suit.

If the plaintiff wins the trader has to return all short-swing profits to the company and pay the plaintiff's attorney fees. Because the people covered by Section 16 have to report their trades, and because there isn't really a defense for short-swing trading, it is an open and shut case.

The data is available from the SEC in electronic form, and there are lawyers who get it and do automated checks to find short-swing trades. Then it is an easy matter for them to buy a share if they don't already have one, sue the short-swing trader, trivially win the open and shut case, and collect attorney fees.

If that wasn't enough to discourage insiders from short-swing trading, Section 16 provides more discouragement by being brutal in how it defines profit from a short-swing trade. Consider this sequence of trades by a Section 16 insider:

Jan 1: buy N shares at $100/share
Feb 1: sell N shares at $90/share
Mar 1: buy N shares at $80/share
Apr 1: sell N shares at $70/share

The person is clearly a terrible trader. That sequence of trades has lost them $20/share.

But Section 16 doesn't look at the overall results. It just looks it individual trades and tries to match them with individual trades going the other way within 6 months (before or after) and if the sell is higher than the buy that is short-swing profit.

Section 16 sees the above trades as a short-swing profit of $10 x N from the purchase on Mar 1 and the sale on Feb 1.

The net result then for the insider who made those ill conceived trades is that they lose $20/share on the trades themselves, and they end up having to pay an additional $10/share to the company, and pay the attorney fees of whoever managed to file first to sue them.
Specifically they are large hierarchical organizations designed to extract wealth from value created by employees, within a context of constant competition with other such organizations. The specific incentives matter a lot when examining these effects and it's important to not just chalk it all up to human nature.
This fragility appears to be social contagion and as such impacts different geographies variably based upon frequency of exposure and acceptance towards conformity of the prevailing subculture.

Well, there are a lot of RCEs and exploits at FOSSDEM so it's normal to be powned.
If your goal is to benchmark something like to_int64, you should be benchmarking it on a wide range of values instead of just ones and one-halves. You can always pre-generate a diverse data set and shove it in memory - how expensive that is doesn't matter, since all your benchmarks will be paying the same cost to read the test data (unless one of your benchmark test cases is so profoundly slow that it pushes the test data out of cache)

Similarly you definitely should have a table of known numbers you want to test and not just go through the space by 0.5. You want to test denormals, stuff like 1/3, etc.
I think because Twitter is where their audience is. As annoying as it is to read on Twitter, posting it as multiple tweets also allows people to like/retweet individual and multiple parts of the essay which probably increases the essay’s overall reach/engagement.
I think this is over-imaginative. It’s still an instant hire almost anywhere. People still talk about ex-googlers like they’re celebrities when they join your company. They can write a book and the first thing the publisher will say on the back is “Since working at Google…”. I’m not saying this won’t ever change, but it will take a while.

In real insects there is no problem with the drag for wing rotation, because the rotation is not an active motion, but a passive motion caused by the flow of the air.

The insect wings have a rigid front edge, which is moved up and down, while the rest of the wing is flexible. When the front edge goes down, the rear part of the wing is pushed by the air upwards until it assumes a slanted position that pushes the air backwards. The reverse happens on the upwards beat.

So in most insects only the rigid front edge of the wing is moved actively while the rest of the wing assumes passively various shapes that are determined by the distribution of rigid veins and flexible membranes in the wing, which ensure that the shape of the wing is the right one for good efficiency.
Online advertising is enormous. Google's Exchange process processes 11bn online ad spaces / day.

We can now understand the motivation behind Google's wish to move the whole internet ecosystem (QUIC, BBR, AMP et al) into a huge optimized and abstracted Remote Procedure Call (RPC) system.

From the outside people will see this as something new, shiny and as an improvement (which it is!) but at the same time they'd profit off of it.
It’s the reason you’re taught to treat all firearms as if they are loaded until you’ve confirmed they’re not. It’s easy to lose track of what is and isn’t loaded and what it’s loaded with. Doubly so in a chaotic and fast moving environment like a movie set. Then throw in real guns that the person providing has doing double duty and the chances of an accident go right up unless people are careful about their gun handling.

Even with defence in depth like you suggest where you properly isolate the guns and keep all live ammo away there still should be no excuse for not properly checking the condition of a weapon before using it.

In particular the handling rules are setup so if you accidentally break one or two no one should get hurt. In this case they were deliberately breaking several so only needed to neglect one and tragedy results.
It is probably still unwise in C as well in this case because the layout of bits in a bitfield is still implementation defined, and varied based on endianness of the uint64 for example

The others are surviving because they are growing too. If they stall out and stop growing, they will become a smaller and smaller slice of the pie as the rest of it grows around them. They would become less and less relevant, and therefore find it harder to get new business.

In a high growth business there is no stable static strategy. Staying the same is functionally equivalent to shrinking, in terms of scale effects and relevance, as the rest of the market dwarfs you. As long as you keep growing, you can keep relevant.

If facebook had a $1tn ad business and Google still had $200bn, would Google's business actually be the same as it is now? Would they still be able to hire the cream of graduates? Would they find it as easy to replace lost business from natural attrition with new clients? Would they find it as easy to launch new ad products and get attention for them?
A lot of people don't have a desktop so a very powerful laptop that just works (tm) well for software development and can be lugged around effortlessly is ideal. I haven't owned a desktop myself in years and many engineers I know have been letting their rigs collect dust as the laptop just does it all.

For the price, there isn't something comparable in all respects.
IMO this is largely a side effect of the JavaScript standard library being so anaemic - if available functions were bolstered significantly, it would eventually have some impact on this madness.
Capitalism has always been about greed, and I say that as a profound advocate of it. Its very convenient to blame capitalism now for stuff we don't like when I'd argue we knew all along about greed being a core part of capitalism. Convenient in that it somehow absolves government out of it, and hides how we as the supposed democratic participants have been utterly powerless to direct the state towards reigning in these supposedly greedy/evil capitalist companies.

Why would the request for "any and all data" not yield ALL of the data in the first place?

Is it because you must request specific data? Is making a request for all data from the manufacturer not allowed?

Despite the low quality of OP’s post, Arendt did say some troubling things about race in the US. Of course this was in the 1950s when an awful lot of people were doing the same thing. Even so, this aspect of her writing does sit uneasily with the rest of her work, and some of it (like Reflections on Little Rock) was highly controversial even at the time. I found this discussion of the issue interesting: http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/66694/1/Owens%20%282017%29... (You might find the abstract a bit offputting, but the discussion in the body of the text is quite detailed and nuanced.)

Google sought fellow tech giants' help in stalling kids' privacy protections
I think that the media is overusing the term "whistleblower". There are many of wrong things happening at big companies (FB, Google, Amazon) and you are not really a whistleblower by bringing this up. Media labelling those people as "whistleblowers" feels like encouraging conformity in a place that needs changing. But I guess they get more clicks when they put "whistleblower" in the headline.

Wouldn't this be eventually a good thing? I imagine less free online services, which would condition people to also pay online more often. It would be a bumpy road, but I can see how online magazines could make more money that way, since I'm already used to paying for my online office suite, mail etc.

It could also just lead to weird tie-in with a central ad service sharing anonymized data between all participating companies, basically spreading the data Google monopolizes further.

Facebook will collapse or atleast break up because smart people inside are realizing there is no fix.

When you scale up to levels no one else has, you hit problems no on else has seen. It takes a while to realize the size itself is part of the problem.

Sort of like the East India Company. Scale is great until there is a serious mutiny.

> My guess is the next phase of this is basically comp sci ML research rediscovering mathematical statistics and information theory.

That’s the trick students doing ML courses for their CS degree don’t get. The people leading ML research today are statisticians.

Most of them learned their chops before neural networks became cool again. It’s extremely hard to publish anything good without a very solid background in maths.

There is no large divide today between ML and statistics where people could be forgetting things. It’s very much the same field. The main issue is that statistics were already a somewhat immature part of mathematics even before the ML craziness.

Eichmann was a poor example for Arendt's main idea of evil's banality in certain people and groups, but the idea is far from being invalidated. One book I strongly recommend that reinforces the idea in the modern age is "Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland" by Christopher Browning. His thoroughly researched book describes the basic nature of most of the members of Nazi death squads in the eastern occupied territories, and yes, he strongly underscores just how ordinary and otherwise banal so many of them were or would have been had they not been guided into the German order police battalions (ordnung polizei)

IMHO, Intel has a very safe position for the next few years.

First, it's a seller's market, there's no one who can replace Intel's chip output. They could have stayed on 14nm and still sell all their stock. Second, the US government is clearly not liking where the chip market is, and is going to spend a lot Intel's way. So income is guaranteed for that time.

The real threat is in the longer term. If the company loses technical relevance entirely, and loses marketshare enough the market can replace them. Then the US gov pulls away and Intel becomes Via or GlobalFoundries.

The current strategy is exactly the right one to prevent that: spend their current capital to be more competitive and regain marketshare. Meanwhile open up the foundry - both to be more receptive to external developments, and get easy money in the car sector.

IMHO, there's no reason Intel can't pull this off. Unless management is entirely oblivious, and this one doesn't appear to be. Intel's scale is large enough to innovate, and they've had fat years to build up a cash reserve even before Uncle Sam gives an infusion.

The previous position is unattainable, but Intel can remain a major player in the years ahead.
Also, being an anti-semite does not make one an unusual person, especially if we're talking about the central European culture of the mid 20th century, where this idea was extremely common even among many otherwise ordinary people. Eichmann may have been fanatically hateful towards jews, but this was for one thing far from uncommon and secondly, far from something that would have probably led him to participating in their systematic extermination had the Nazi regime not come into existence with all that it did.
This is very much clickbait, somehow the author of that article expected that a mobile 65W SoC could come close to discrete NVidia or AMD desktop GPUs that consume 100s of Watts. I don't think Apple is going to use the M1 Max/Pro SoCs as a basis for "Pro" desktop systems.

From the article:

"The new M1 Max SoC can also compete very well against standalone mobile GPUs, namely the GeForce RTX 3060 and RTX 3080 (which seems strangely slow in this benchmark), in Premier Pro while consuming much less power. But Apple's new integrated GPU cannot get close to performance levels offered by desktop discrete graphics cards, something that Apple needs for its Mac Pro workstations."
