In principle it should be easy, in practice (in the US at least) it's nearly impossible. The US senate is currently in nearly total gridlock. Passing new laws is crazy hard.
> You probably mean that you want to restore the terms of the US’s first copyright law, the Copyright Act of 1790 (fourteen plus fourteen years, etc.).

You're quite correct. Sorry for being sloppy when I banged-out that comment.
> It might return true in some implementations (very weird implementations), but in general one should not expect it to do so

That is incorrect. It must always return false. LIST is called multiple times, and each time it is called it must produce a distinct cons. Note this is a different issue from literal coalescing (mentioned else-thread).
I think the name may be part of the problem there. Most things people want recipes for probably don't contain or go with garlic. E.g. if I wanted to make a cake, garlic is one of the last things I'd think of.
To me, it implied a bit of the "future is east-asian" styling of Blade Runner. Vertical signage from a digital chinatown.

But it also made it seem both familiar and alien to see green phosphor characters fill the screen top to bottom, but with an extra bit of ghosting and smearing as the different columns seemed to flow at different rates. It also reminds of older electronic sign boards of airports and stock markets, with large fields of characters flipping in loosely synchronized ways.
It was almost 60 years as of 1909, 14 years before Disney existed. But if you believe the right itself is a fiction, I'm not sure what the term has to do with anything.

> Today, GPT-3 can generate text, so you could try to use it to generate a whole novel. People have, but the novels it generates aren't worth reading.

Novels are definitely out of reach for these language models. GPT-3 currently has a limit of 2048 tokens. This is short-story territory but definitely not "book" length. I agree in this regard.

> GPT-3 won't be able to generate a good CYOA until it can generate a good non-interactive [story].

I disagree here, however. One of the best things about AI-generated text is that it can generate a multitude of options for story progression. Sure, not all progressions will be good, but the most important thing in CYOA is the _choice_. As long as there are some good options, users can choose which progressions they like best, even if the other options suck.

For example, with this toy example [1], not all the options for the progression of the story are great. But if you pick and choose which progressions you like best, you can arrive at a pretty good ending, such as [2]. -- Albeit this is entirely subjective to what each individual finds entertaining

You’re clearly not arguing in good faith. The US government is full of snakes, but the media brought this issue to bear whereas with Iraq the government was running the narrative. But I’ll only point this out once as I can see your agenda plainly.
> Poorly designed code will perform poorly. Well designed code won’t have delay problems.

If I need to open and close 20 files every few seconds, and they all might have unpredictable latencies, even the best designed code in the world could have delay problems.

> Where in this entire thread was it suggested to spawn a thread per file?

You just implied that checking all the files on a dedicated thread is still 'poorly designed code', didn't you?

So if a dedicated thread for the whole group of files isn't enough, sounds like you need to move to a thread per file. Unless it's wrong to use close() at all, or something? You can only blame the code so much.

No, people can actually protect themselves from theft by securing their property. You however can’t protect a book after selling it to someone else, that’s the legal fiction.

Also, IP law is relatively recent in American law which originates from England and France. Originally copyright only protected works from authors inside the country was only extended to foreign works in 1891 making it roughly half the age of the US.
If copyright is to incentivise creators, maybe it should not be transferable?

Taskflow v3.3 Released! Introducing a Task-Parallel Pipeline Programming Model
We just released our Taskflow v3.3 (https://taskflow.github.io/)! This release introduces a new task-parallel pipeline programming framework to help you implement pipeline algorithms. Our pipeline programming framework is very different from and is more efficient than existing ones that count on data abstractions to perform pipeline scheduling. Additionally, we have sanitized all potential data-race issues induced by incorrect memory order. Please check out the newest release. Thank you for all your contributions and support.

I have long gaps between pretty much every single position in my resume. The only time I can recall anyone asking about any of them was over 15 years ago when applying for my third job. I told them I spent the time traveling, and that was the end of it.

My most recent gap was 3 years. The next job didn't ask, but if they had, my plan was to tell them I was retired but considering their gig anyway because I was getting bored and it looked like fun.
I wasn’t talking about taking copies from the public domain, it is you who’s being disingenuous. If I’m alive and I make something people pay for, why should you ever have the right to make and distribute copies of my work without paying me for it? Turn the “me” and “you” around and assume you created the work, and tell me why I should be able to profit from your work, how that is “providing value”?
That's a duopoly, which is hopefully better than a monopoly. It forces competition and will at least keep the independent people solvent. Hell, you can structure it where the processing fee is set and the producers set their own sale prices.

What other options. Is there for beef production?
It's a side effect. Govt supported espionage monopolies (FB/Google) -> decreased competition and talent pool -> small services are worse for having less competition.

I don't agree with 2. If you look at any great work of art in movies or videogames it's easy to pin-point to one or just a few people that heavily influenced specific creative aspects of the final product. For a character to be memorable enough that a corporation decides to invest to make it a flagship one, you can rest assured there will be some great mind behind it that influenced it heavily to make it stand out in the crowd.

If you were to take an committee of execs/businesspeople and make them create the "perfect MCU character" it would be either a copycat of something existing, or something so bland and safe that fans would forget in one second. That's why they still hire screenwriters and directors.

I would also argue that tasking a team of creatives of coming up with a brand new superhero that: 1) fits the "MCU style" 2) it's safe and family friendly 3) is original enough to stand out 4) is likable 5) fits the current zeitgeist without feeling like a PR stunt. - would be an extremely daunting task for even the most experienced creative team. They might manage to do it and create a new flagship character for the MCU owned entirely by Disney, but it wouldn't be a "corporate character" and the real authors' influences and creativity would be extremely apparent in the character.
I've read some accounts from former students of Weinstein and Heying - they sounded like good, dedicated profs (Heying esp.)

I don't think Weinstein's "exile" was done intentionally, but his arc did establish a career path with a huge audience and wealthy patronage.
No, sorry, that doesn't work: you're saying that by reducing incentives for primary work authorship, we'll gain more works because people will be able to work on derivative works based on existing ones. The only plausible way that could work is by allowing people to derive works from popular properties; literally: you're talking about fan fiction qua fan fiction. Star Wars. Twilight. Spider Man. Enabling people to derive new works from obscure primary works wouldn't move the needle, and wouldn't support your original argument.

I'm saying: I don't think you'll get enough commercial Spider Man fan fiction to offset the damage. But you can at least connect the dots on that argument.
And here I was happy thinking I 'd run in to an other Swede on Hacker News.. ah well.. in hindsight now that I read it, you are of course right.
Automobiles are a special case.

Automobile manufacturers are used to ordering suppliers around wrt price, lead times, and so on. Chip makers used to put up with that, but when things got tight and other folks started waving dollar bills around, the chip makers said "hold it - we can get paid more AND not have to deal with those jerks?"

> What resource? I did my best to look at the implementation, but the source code is complicated and scattered. I can't really process your link by itself. How often are these things causing delays?

A signal may need to be invoked and that could cause paging to disk. The point is that the kernel is allowed to do a non-predictable amount of work on most system calls and therefore you cannot assume getpid() completes in any amount of time. If you’re building a real time interactive system, then this matters. If you’re building a system that’s allowed to be non-responsive (for running batch processes, network servers) then it doesn’t.
I agree that tying copyrights to lifetimes doesn’t make sense, because it’s logical for copyrights to be inherited and the law shouldn’t benefit long‐lived authors over short‐lived authors. I’m not fond of the reasoning in your comment though—by my reading there’s nothing stopping it from being used to extend copyright to “forever less one day.”

US copyright law at its inception was intended to provide a balance, incentivizing authors to create new works without infringing too far on people’s inherent right to copy and share ideas they haven’t necessarily created. See Madison (who wrote the original Copyright Clause):

“But grants of this sort can be justified in very peculiar cases only, if at all; the danger being very great that the good resulting from the operation of the monopoly, will be overbalanced by the evil effect of the precedent; and it being not impossible that the monopoly itself, in its original operation, may produce more evil than good.”

Nice! The first few seconds sound a lot like me. Afterwards, not so much.
>All of these companies are too big to fail at this point. They all have at least a decade of reserves to power through anything that gets thrown their way.

Yes each of these has enough of a war chest that they could drift along for a decade + several have ownership structures where there wouldn't be market pressure to remove the C-level / board if that happened.

That said... each of these has weaknesses. I think about Microsoft (the one missing from the list that rightfully belongs there...)... they came out of their lost decade a very different company. Their stock price barely moved for that entire time, though has since rebounded. It's not that hard to imagine that Netflix is just one of many streaming studios in another 5-10 years, or that people might be just as willing to turn to another search provider than Google. Facebook seems to be acutely aware that its core big blue app is seen as a baby boomer thing and that it had better do things to stay relevant to another generation. So - too big to fail? Maybe, but then again we could ask GE, GM, and Ma Bell that same question once upon a time.
Haha I almost said that the 2018 version hews closer to the theatrical release's hues but that felt too cheesy
While I agree with the sentiment... especially for ultra low cost solutions, the availability of Pb-Free HASL, Organic coatings, and NiAu plating make Sn whiskers much less of an issue than they were 10+ years ago. Through-hole components again might be lowest cost tin coating, but that's also easily fixed. Incremental 10% cost increases can dramatically improve long term and high temp reliability. Most SMT parts are pretty safe, because the suppliers are afraid of contaminating their supply chain.

Even for commodity parts (Cell phones and Laptops) PCBs and components are built to prevent problems with Sn. Certainly, in Automotive it's a big deal!

What you're describing are simply ordinary welfare state policies, and what you view as "high taxes" are not particularly high compared to historical tax rates even within the US. The idea that you'd have to be a Marxist to want to centralize health insurance to reduce costs so people don't go bankrupt paying for medical care is simply propaganda. In fact, most Marxists would probably view these kinds of measures as capitalist Band-Aids to keep the entire system from collapsing.
That's capitalism for ya! The folks at the top are the ones who enjoy the fruits of your labor.

The very first impression I have of Stalker [seen on a projector] is being stunningly beautiful. Very few films [including all of Tarkovsky's, with maybe the best being Mirror] manage to create this sense of stunning beauty so that's something that needs to be mentioned.

Other than this, the film simply hypnotized and drew me in. I wasn't analyzing or thinking about the story, rather observing and experiencing, which allowed the magic to unfold. There are scenes that freeze time, the only words that maybe do justice to them are "bewitchingly intense". His philosophical magnum opus [1], Mirror, is even more powerful.

Tarkovsky was not only an artist extraordinaire but a supreme genius, the kind of person that appears once every few centuries. His films are full of something that you certainly won't find in any movie today [especially American], which is called "soul", and a full appreciation of him and his work entails opening up that part of yourself and allowing it to engage with Tarkovsky's as expressed in his output.

[1] I use "philosophy" here to mean meditations on the human condition that are understood / made real through praxis, i.e. its original definition.

Flexport posts a lot of "Flexport is hiring" ads on HN. Here are my anecdotal experiences.
I was contacted by a very sharp recruiter from within the company a year ago. She said they weren't actually looking for backend developers (senior or not). Why she contacted me given my senior backend developer resume is beyond me. I told her I had a previous lengthy, and ultimately confusing and unpleasant experience with Flexport hiring. She had no information about the interview process I had been through a year prior, and in fact she could not find any record of the process. Her explanation was that they had a lot of turnover in HR, and they had no records. That's very strange for a company that seems built to manage information and logistics (hiring/onboarding is human logistics).

That original interview experience was... interesting. I went through the usual HR type introductory interviews, and then I went through several rounds of coding interviews. Finally, I had a chat with the older gentleman who was in charge of all of their IT. From the very first moment, he seemed utterly disinterested in the call. He would not look into the camera - never made eye contact... asked questions as if reading from index cards, but registered no recognition of any responses. To me it was obvious that he either did not like me (from before we said hello) or was already determined not to hire me. That's fine, but I could have done without the awkard call. Then, two weeks later, they told me "No thanks" with no information as to why.

They were solving several problems related to shipping, one of which was managing customs. These must be complex problems. But the demos that I saw, at least 2 years ago, were very limited. And when I spoke to the recruiter a year ago, she told me that much of their activities were performed by humans instead of automated systems.

Since I'm an outsider, my perspective could be inaccurate or imagined. But to me it seems like another scenario of gathering funding but not actually having a solution. Perhaps it's a mere exposure scenario, but it seems they advertise jobs on the front page of HN more than other companies. Why do that on HN if they aren't looking for devs or if they are operating with 95% non technical staff? (this was the number provided to me by the internal recruiter)

I don't think this problem can be solved by another search engine as they currently exist. The problem must be solved by a new kind of search engine that exclusively searches Internet communities (HN, Reddit, etc.). The content must be community produced, since all other forms of writing have monetary incentive. You will find the best results in communities of enthusiasts with respected moderation teams.

So, a curated strategy where the users can UP/DOWN sources they trust for particular topics. Relevancy and user ranking of answers determines score. Of course, the user can search any sources they like, but a voting system would control the defaults.

I think this avoids slanted results as well, because topics are objective. The subjectivity will be in the comments, where they belong. That's in contrast to today where SEO scams can determine how high up results are.

So, to game my proposed search engine, you need to infiltrate the users. I believe this is harder to do across numerous sources compared to the current system, which is game the algorithm.
