It’s not obvious they did nothing wrong. The referenced statute creates an obligation to respond to inquiries and not everyone is comfortable making their own decision whether or not it applies to them.
Imagine I dig a dangerous deep pit in my front lawn by the sidewalk.

99 out of 100 people are going to safely avoid it. 1 in 100 fall in and get severely injured.

I'm still at fault even though the injury only happens rarely. And a "rare" effect can harm a lot of people when you scale up the exposure far enough.

Those scam emails also cost a lot of people time and we rightfully outlaw them. In this case, it didn't fit the modality of the common scam messages, it looks a lot more like a professional litigant trying to set the recipient up for a lawsuit.
Because it's intentionally constructed in a way that makes it impossible to parse before you read the article... well, at least I got such impression. ;)

I think the end game is humans just let self-coding machines work as long as they are generating more cash than the cost of resources they use. Otherwise ... DELETE! Or the machine runs out of the crypto it needs to purchase more computing capacity and halts naturally like Odin intended.

Of course, there is just that existential risk that the machines recognizes the profit distributions we are taking are negatively impacting their margins - and ability to survive. :(

Where all this goes, nobody knows! But it won't be boring.
Oh I've spent years working with Haskell and work with Rust right now! And I absolutely love diving into the pros of awesome type systems. I've actually worked with Golang, F#, Scala, Typescript, Java, C#, C++, Python, and probably a few others (all professionally, as in I've shipped something to prod) over the last few years.

I used to love this but now I'm getting burned out with it all and want to learn a language in more depth.

> the actual motivation of hitting people with legalese and takedowns isn't to literally take the software down, it's to drive up the cost of development, and to get people who maintain it to quit, which is probably why we're in this thread

This only does anything useful to them if the software and all of the forks stop being maintained, regardless of whether the people doing it now are the same people who were doing it before. Which is one of the reasons why it's important to replace them, to deter this kind of attack. But they have been.

> given that software like youtube-dl basically needs to be permanently fixed to even work slowing down development is enough.

Not really. The demand for having youtube-dl or equivalent work is orders of magnitude higher than the amount of effort required to make it work.

Attacks like this also fortify development efforts because of the Streisand effect and the increased effort people are willing to put into something once it becomes a matter of pride to spite the attackers.

I specifically and purposefully ignore anything Microsoft. I'm interested in open computing, which Windows and Microsoft exist to spite. I assume Microsoft does everything in bad faith, and that any technology they deploy is ultimately in service of their walled gardens.

Windows does exist, but it ought not to.
Wow, what a fantastic addition of context to my dubious out-of-context snippet! Thank you for the link.

For all the philosophy of science I have read, the most unexpectedly revealing book I have seen was by a specialist in the sociology of science. (IIRC it was in a bookstore in Madison; I forgot the author and I have been sorry I didn't purchase the book; e.g. it pointed out that many Nobel prize winners in separate fields were college room-mates, and explained common elements in their strategies vis-a-vis personal energy-level and proximity to cutting-edge conversations.)

Likewise for credence owed to history and anthropology [of science], where (as explained in the article), it is inherent to independent groups practicing Science in the Public Interest (to insert an older term).

From there, to me, it is only a slight extension to include gender-specific concerns. However, I have to admit that the quite un-jargony article and interview, versus the apparently jargony snippet, read to me like a night-and-day difference. Perhaps that is my age and time-distance from academia; perhaps there might be some GAO (grant approval optimization) involved in the snippet.
Penrose, who's probably my favorite living physicist, is far from the only person who's attempted to connect QM to everything mental from consciousness, free will, qualia to telepathy or the efficacy of prayer. QM is a god-of-the-gaps for mental things we don't understand or don't really exist. And it plays that role in plenty of other places.

One good reason for not lumping ORR in with crystal healing (beyond the rigor and erudition applied to the theories) is that ORR addresses what most would consider a real mystery in our understanding of the mind (however you define that), while crystal healing addresses something demonstrably false.

I'll still contend there's some quantum woo to ORR, but for that reason it's been a brave attempt to further scientific knowledge.

Fair point. I inserted a snippet I did not have the provinence for, and I did not see the full import. Mea culpa.

However, there seems to be more going on within that snippet than "We will study glacier change impacts with particular sensitivity to women's views." Some of those other things do appear pertinant to the subject of the OP at Quillette.

My daughter is currently applying for collage. Harvard is on the list. Her GPA is a 3.9 (unweighted) with a ton of additional plus items (3 languages, 2 varsity sports, leadership roles, 12 years as a Girl Scout, etc.) She struggles with testing like the SAT scoring only 1350 (I scored higher back in the day, but we had a very different educational upbringing - mine was regimented, where I made a different choice in her upbringing with a focus on allowing her to explore). She is scary smart (not just a proud father talking, she really very impressive in how she thinks) and driven like I never was. She decided to not submit the SAT scores as all she sees is the numbers. I have done a bit of research on the admission at Harvard and it is clear that the interviews play a huge part. The interviewers look at are they a leader, can they add something to Harvard, and they even consider if they will make a good dorm roommate.

The internet hurts kids today as they can see the scores and the data without understanding it as they are still kids. It is discouraging as the raw data without digging does not show them that there are people with scores above the line that do not get admitted and those below the line that do. It is the whole package that really counts, and test scores are not a true measure.

Let see how this plays out.
> If, as you say, IP is property and if property rights are human rights, then it follows that human (and property) rights can take away property rights, compel people to do things, or force them to do other things than they would like.

People are only compelled or forced to do other things than they would like in that they are being disallowed from using someone else's property. This is in stark contrast to forcing someone to do something they don't want to do. Negative vs. positive rights.

Slavey is only unacceptable because the slave is a third party to the transaction who is unwilling to voluntarily enter it. That is much different than disallowing someone the use of something that does not belong to them. You cannot force someone not to work a job because you don't want them to. It's the same thing. If you were to force them not to work a job you don't want them to, you would be violating their rights by impeding on their right to engage in voluntary transactions.

Illegitimate and ill-defined property exists. It is first and foremost job of the government to be the arbitrator of legal contract such the ambiguity around Illegitimate and ill-defined property is removed.

Debt bondage is a classic form of slavery. Thankfully it's not generally legal since the obligation is not properly defined legally. If it were, then there would be recourse for breaking the contract, and a process of insolvency which would remediate the debt. In fact, the outlawing of voluntary transactions is what breeds the possibility for these types of markets as the debt payoff is typically accomplished through sex trafficking or drug related activities. This is done so the victim has a disincentive from contacting state enforcement agents as they would have to implicate themselves in a crime to do so.
However, there maybe another darkside of the story.

Almost a decades back I talked a game dev, asking him why the game that they released demands such high hardware requirements. The two reasons that he offered was: 1) It costs money to produce & maintain content such as Level of Detail assets to enable support for low end devices, and 2) People cannot afford good computer usually also cannot afford to pay for the game.

I think it's also somewhat fitting in this case: the industry only focuses on making money out of the people who can or potentially can afford the service, and left out those who can't. The user-end requirement is just an implicit barrier that allows companies to generate rainbow farts.

No, I'm not criticizing those companies that actually employed such dark patterns. After all, everyone wants money. However, these kind of practice can be costly as well in the form of 1) bad UX for paying users, and 2) higher cost of bandwidth (for both the user and the company).
It creates an obligation to businesses selling user data, or ones with revenues over 25 millions. It's not hard to find either: https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa

The CCPA applies to for-profit businesses that do business in California and meet any of the following:

Have a gross annual revenue of over $25 million;
Buy, receive, or sell the personal information of 50,000 or more California residents, households, or devices; or
Derive 50% or more of their annual revenue from selling California residents’ personal information.

It's not a very hard decision to make, the text is pretty clear. Especially if literally the fifth word of it - "for profit" - makes the further reading unnecessary.

This isn't a defect, it's a benefit. It's mathematically proven that an electorate can prefer X even if a majority of its members prefer Y.

Commonly proposed "majoritarian" methods using rankings can, for instance, elect X even though Y is preferred to X by a huge majority of voters and Y has twice as many first-place votes as X.

And there's not even a clear mathematical definition of "majority winner".

The goal of voting methods is to produce the most satisfying results possible (highest expected utility). And score/approval voting are excellent at that, and also radically simpler than ranked methods.

Also, TSA gets kickbacks from homeland security. If they see large sums of cash in your bags, they will contact the police in order to try and get it taken via civil asset forfeiture, and then they'll get a kickback for it.

Oh God yes.

Back in the 20th Century, I was on a team for a major web browser. They were attempting to extend web browser technologies to crawl and cache web sites. The idea was to enable complex web experiences in a time when Internet service was analog telephone, 9600 baud.

We worked for months on that. At the office. In Silicon Valley. On $6000 Compaq computers.

When I returned home via my two-hour commute, I would try it: dial up and crawl, overnight, and surf around on the train to work the next day.

I was the only person on the team to actually do this.

I could understand that; after a 12-hour day of intense times at the office, the last thing most of us wanted was more of it, as soon as we got home.

A year later, I was at an ad agency. Big clients, national brands. Everyone there used the very latest Macintosh machines. Those could be like $8000 each. Beautiful work in Photoshop, then stuffed into a web browser.

They had a room with a few PCs, but nobody went in there.
If this is to appeal to a community, there has to be some kind of incentive for that community to add their comments (content) to this site. What is it? Reputation?

In general, it could be appealing to have an open, established process for gathering public feedback on articles. It seems a scientific community would rather have their own version set up, where they could also curate content (rather than browse by category).

Even if what you are doing is "legal" it seems abusive as hell to me, especially if it is ever targeted at a smaller company or person like in the OP's case. Why are being so difficult?

Ask HN: How to diagnose sources of work stress
Using a throwaway so I don't get linked to my main account just in case.

I've been showing signs of burnout/high stress for at least several months, but probably much longer since I started working at current company 1.5 years ago. I finally have a referral to see a workplace psychologist, but to maximise effectiveness of this I need to understand my problems better and I'm not sure where to start. I've started collecting notes on my feelings and difficulties at work but this feels quite arbitrary, so I'm interested in hearing others' experiences. Ideally I'd be looking for something like a systematic process to examine different areas of my work life, common stressors and how they interrelate, or how to methodically identify cause and effect. Cheers.
So what you have now is literally just a string to a path, something like "D:\apps\foo\bar\baz\libs\stuff\thingie\log4j-core.jar" or the Linux equivalent.

So somehow this paper misses one of the greatest developments in this area, oil https://www.oilshell.org/ - which:

1. has a compatibility mode with sh and bash. it's the only new shell I know with a upgrade path from bash [0]

2. otherwise fixes tons of unix shell misfeatures and in particular fixes quoting hell [2]

PS: one fun quirk of the oil implementation is that it's written in Python.. but actually in a DSL that generates statically typed C++ code, ditching the Python runtime altogether [3] [4] - when you do compile Oil, you just get a C++ tarball (somewhat like fftw, a FFT package written in OCaml but which generates C code; fftw developers write OCaml, but fftw users compile C)

I would definitely recommend a sit-stand desk. Variation is key. Try to figure out if holding your shoulders up or down makes things worse and adjust your arm support accordingly. A good desk chair can help, with adjustable or removable arm support. You can try out different ergonomic keyboards or mice, but that can get pretty expensive, with no guaranteed results (and lots of frustration). Look on eBay for used ones or find a vendor with an extended return policy.

Take enough breaks, no matter what. Take a walk, no matter how short. Get the blood and nerve signals in your arms flowing.

The Core Java Roadmap
I'm so confused by the comments here. Californian consumers regularly, and rightly IMO, laud the CCPA.

Then when on the receiving side, view it as a threat and freak out.

Note: I'm ignoring the whole lying aspect for now, because it isn't pertinent to my argument.

So it sounds like it's good for consumers, and a nightmare for producers. Seems the crux of the problem is the law itself.
As I understand it, it is pretty easy to make small formal mistake that will make you loose without ever being heard.
