It's not after their death. This is the crazymaking part of the argument. The cash flows from art received after the death of the author is factored in to the compensation the artist obtains during their life. This is basic economics.

If you don't care about a work made for profit because it's soulless, then what grounds do you have to set terms for its release? It's work you by definition think is unimportant.

Looking forward to JLaw's portrayal of Holmes in Adam McKay's Apple Studios adaptation of Bad Blood. Hope they pick up from where the book ended and cover this trial.

Had the choice for other exits. Wanted to retain the equity, so payed the bill.

Most people advised me to give up some shares, or find a third-party to front the cash and split the upside — both more rational choices than the one I took.
It blows my mind that she was found guilty for defrauding investors, but not guilty for defrauding patients about their test results.

Investors know that every dollar they put into a company could disappear, it's why startups get capital from investors and not bank loans.

But a patient does not expect for their blood test results to be completely wrong. Her tests weren't giving false-negatives or false-positives, they were using lab techniques that we have known to be inaccurate for decades. She knowingly sold Walgreens on 1 test, and then performed a different test.

I need to sit down and properly inform myself about how the prosecutors fucked that up so badly.
To be completely honest, I'm more of a buyer than a seller. I have a few items that are "worth" (in a loose sense) in the hundreds and thousands, but most are nothing more than a rare conversation piece I have on my desk.
There are lawyers and contracts involved. There are people who connect the money and the startup,these guys have relationships with the money people so there is trust at that level, but lawyers for the rest of it.
My friend Kathryn Bertoni used to be a farmer, and she survived for awhile by selling the produce via a CSA and various farmers markets, but in the end, she couldn't make a go of it. She wrote a great review of the book 'Farm (and Other F Words): The Rise and Fall of the Small Family Farm" which you can read here:

Holmes was convicted of fraud, which is a crime.

I just switched to Duck Duck Go yesterday and was not impressed. When I searched "define hot take" Google gives me a canonical, prominent definition with bold-font title and button to hear the pronunciation. DDG gives me multiple definitions in a normal search results page with none prominent, and no way to hear the pronunciation.

I'll be switching back to Google
Would you prefer they deliver it in cash? There are associated legal docs you sign, but other than that it's not super complicated.
"It depends."

I really can't answer more precisely than that without knowing what you consider to be a "good" model, and what you are interested in modeling. Perhaps a marginally more useful answer is that they can be _excellent_ metabolic and cellular models. It's a case of "if you know what your looking for, you can pick animal models that effectively have exactly what you're looking for". The "what", here, would be a metabolic pathway, for example.

I will probably start by reviewing some of the papers he mentions. Then I will reach out to my friends in the scientific community. I'm sure they will be totally thrilled to answer all my dumb questions. Then when the dust settles I might reach out to one of the people he mentions who happens to be a friend of an acquaintance.

*Entertaining meat bags who throw a fit at the first hint of prices rising in response to demand.

Perhaps if the gamers wouldn’t jump to calling any price increase over an MSRP defined in 2019 “gouging”, there would be some incentive to prioritize those parts.

Instead, the fair thing to do is to force everyone to camp on Twitter and wait for the “20 Xbox One X/PS5/GTX#### available at Walmart [update: sold out]” post lottery.

It is amazing to me that manufacturers (to be fair, per gamers’ demands) are giving money away to scalpers, instead of using the revenue from higher prices to buy more manufacturing and shipping capacity.
What an odd sums of money ending with 9s. Does anyone know why such numbers were picked?
To be fair "JK" in such shop is mostly (hopefully?) fake.

And you d expect they d ask a random Indian in the street just it case, as you seem to say, this would be so trivial people dont feel the need to explain it.
I’m no against mice models, but I do think that relationship between amount and outcome are important and non-linear and what happens when 2/3rd of your calories come from something is not indicative of an effect when you consume a smaller percentage. That said, your ad hominem attacks on me are not appreciated, do better.
It will likely result in a new trial of those counts.
Right, I guess what I'm asking is, is that necessary? i.e. is proof of work accelerating the climate change timetable such that it's more of an existential threat than it already is? Otherwise it feels like just one guilty party among many. I don't know the data so I'm genuinely asking.

Even so, if the root problem is clean energy, banning crypto is only going to help until the next energy-burning tech comes along. i.e. we'd just be kicking the can and destroying digital currency in the process.
> I have a few items that are worth in the hundreds and thousands

At first I read 'worth in the hundreds of thousands' and I was really curious what garnered such value. Language ambiguity is fun.
I don't remember where I first heard this, but it's good advice: don't collect as an investment, collect because you really enjoy the objects. I collect rare books, but never because I think they'll go up in value (although they probably will). I just like having them around. Socially, infamous corpo-swag is really even better - what a conversation starter! But I personally wouldn't want that sort of stuff in my shared spaces. Interesting or not, its still just corpo-swag.
You might be right (for my case). It could've been that is what I've played (!!!) it was around 1991-1996 (?) and it's when I've started digging into the format (along with other games, like SC2). Might've been even later, but it was an older game. Never knew it was a homebrew version :)
This discussion instantly garned upvotes, not one substantial argument against the article, and was flagged off the front page.

At least this person has a reasoning and stands behind it, that's heads and shoulders above the tactics of those who want to bury this.
I probably should have left off mentioning any actual number of years, since my argument was not trying to argue for any specific length of time.

The question I was answering is if we have copyright at all, why shouldn’t it be infinite in length? The answer is that the incentive copyright provides to creators has diminishing returns, and eventually provides no extra incentive… how long that period actually is is not obvious, but it is likely somewhere way before 95 years. And since society gets a benefit when works enter public domain, society has an incentive to try to set the length of time as short as possible while maintaining the incentive to create.

I am not trying to argue for an exact length of time, just explaining why we don’t want it to be forever.
The statement that "the NDP and Green Party aren't a political threat to the Liberal party" is a staggering misunderstanding of a situation on which you are speaking authoritatively.

With the utmost respect, I think an elementary understanding of multi-party democracies would be a useful first step for this discussion.

It may be instructive to look at some of the key Canadian swing ridings:

There's a reason that Canadian Conservatives have fought tooth-and-nail against any type of ranked-choice voting system. I genuinely believe that the Conservatives would not win another election in my lifetime in a ranked-choice system.
Don't know all of the details behind each count, but glad to see this result, which seems good and fair. Basically, looks like the majority of "committing fraud against investors" charges were guilty, but the "committing fraud against patients", which always seemed like more of a stretch to me, were not guilty.
On the one hand you're right, but OTOH I have to imagine "super cheap energy!" would hopefully change some minds quickly...
Perhaps I read into your comment more than was warranted.

However, "follow the evidence" applies to science. You are describing an ethical question, which means you are doing philosophy.

Is seven days considered long for a case like this? When I last had jury duty, we spent three days on a much less complicated case. It was very clear from the start of deliberations which way things would go, but we had to actually discuss the issues and make sure we had clarification on points of law, et cetra. It's really not as simple as TV often makes it seem.
This study, and others like it that use mice, would be a lot more interesting if they bucketed out some ranges for the test variable. For this one, I would have liked to see groups with 20, 40, 60, and 80% sugar diets.
The sociopaths who are attracted to founder life are immune to this lesson.
Not that many, probably 1, or maybe 3 to be conservative. Of course there are the institutional and governmental parties as well, but still not that many (1 lab director, maybe 1 executive above them, plus a handful of regulators with detailed knowledge of the labs operations). If it is the case that, say, the WIV leaked the initial virus, there's probably less than a dozen people in the world with positive knowledge of that fact.
You need to look at all the possibilities, you cannot just put your head in the sand.

Perhaps the virus was not a deliberate weaponization but some research for a weapon when things went wrong and it got out of the lab.
The wire transfer is just how the money exchanges hands. There would be a contract of some sort defining why that money is changing hands, and with what strings attached.
That’s not how the presumption of innocence works.
What does "authentic" mean here? Isn't company swag just the company emailing a logo to 3rd parties who print it on shirts/whatever?
Short answer: "no."

Longer answer: Theranos never really got their own custom machines working. Until those machines were working, they did use other machines and processes which did work. However, their entire shtick was trying to do a lot of tests on less blood than usual, so... they simply diluted the blood samples to get enough volume for those machines to function in the first place, and correspondingly, the results were absolute garbage. Effectively, they were using working machines incorrectly to cover up for their non-working machines.
Interesting you can tell how much the wire transfer fee was in each case. How does it compare to the major crypto exchanges?
Sure, cinephiles, but most people in the US haven't heard of Tarkovsky. Even fairly educated people I've suggested a Tarkovsky film to will give me a blank expression and say "who?"

I see the confusion, you're the OP and you're talking about what you suggested instead of what azemetre suggested.

The independents creating their own meat packing plant is a fine idea. Increase competition. It's like a co-op in reverse. They could even accept third party jobs. If they were even smarter they'd open one, sell it as a going concern, use the money to open another one, and repeat until the concentrated market is good and thoroughly disintegrated.

Having the independents come together to form a cartel to negotiate with the existing concentrated market of meat packing plants is the bad idea.
Boy, it's all about the wire-fraud, isn't it? The MONEY itself seems to have filed this lawsuit.
I'm not saying that refusing proof of work will solve our environmental crisis, but I see no good reason for accepting them and making it worse.
They didn't prove that all motorcycle-like things buildable from that car with those tools are useless. These were the possible outcomes from the Mythbusters test:

1. They build it and it works. That would prove that building a useful MLTFTC (motorcycle-like thing from that car) was possible, but would not prove that Leray had done so.

2. They are unable to find a way to build an MLTFTC. This does not prove it cannot be done, but they are smart and inventive builders and had accounts and photos of Leray's alleged MLTFTC to go on, so if they could not figure it out it would cast very strong doubts on Leray's story.

3. The result they actually got. They are able to build an MLTFTC, but it doesn't work well enough to ride.

That is the least satisfying possible result. It tells us that MLTFTCs are possible, but doesn't tell us if useful ones are possible. That theirs was not useful fails to rule out that others might be useful because two-wheeled vehicles are quite sensitive to geometry. It has not hard to have two such vehicles that look very similar, but one is rideable and one is not due to a few degrees difference in part of the geometry.
I wonder if that was because they used other testing methods to check patient samples, so they patient got a result regardless of the means by which it was obtained.
Because this a very naive (intended or not) view of the book publishing industry. Yes! everybody can write a book, at least in theory, but that is just 5% of the task. How about distribution, editing, advertising, shelf space in the bookstores, reviews, etc. A book who cannot reach potential readers may as well not exist.
Pretty interesting! I tried this both English -> French and French -> English.

English -> French seemed to work best, with the AI output have a very similar timbre to my real voice. Not hyperrealistic for me, but decent enough given I gave it a ~20s sample.

French -> English was less good in terms of the timbre and pitch of the voice---way higher than my real voice. It did have a bit of a Canadian accent, though, which is funny because I speak French with a Quebec accent. Maybe that's what I would sound like if I had a Canadian accent in English?
> IPR is generated de novo, from the creators themselves.

I'm absolutely stunned to see you make this claim. All work is based on prior work.
Indeed! I tried it with some French and was impressed. After recording in English and synthesizing a short sentence I tried to record and speak using the same intonation/speed as the generated French audio. It matches almost perfectly. Except of course for the bg music I don’t think anyone could discern which one was real and which one was fake. It didn’t work for all sentences, and there were some obvious glitches, but for the pieces where it did it was quite freaky. Also, hearing the French sentence in my own voice made it quite easy to pronounce it correctly. When I try this using for example the Google Translate TTS it’s much much harder.
At our property (small cattle farm) we rely on neighbours for the most part to get away.

Pre-holiday you prep everything and someone will drop by ever day or few and throw some food and generally check on livestock.

If going away for a longer period often people find a house sitter.

But 100% it does take over life vs 'enjoying the view' type view of the lifestyle. Busy as it is I find it amazing. Something wholesome about it you don't get in urban life. Not least this covid period where lifestyle hardly changed for us vs friends in the city.
You might be right. In that case you might be able to cut the loop short by changing "line of ships grows..." to point to "trucks can't pick up containers...". In that case it's still a death spiral situation, but it's more similar to something like traffic jams, where throughput drops when there's bumper to bumper traffic.
There is no legitimate reason for this to be flagged. What happened to the vouch option?
I don't see how Site.js is any different than what he describes as "big web". So you create your own website and host it on a server. That's always been possible. What am I missing?

Tell HN: Rise in AWS accounts getting hacked and owner being stuck with the bill
I have been seeing a lot of posts on Reddit and other forums of mostly students setting up an AWS account only for them to be hacked and account owner being stuck with a significant bill.

Most likely scenario is hackers are trying leaked username/password pairs from other breaches against AWS and gaining access to those accounts.

They then spin up EC2 instances in all sorts of regions on the compromised accounts

Key difference you seem to miss: Google doesn't want you to leave the search engine (unless it's ads), so whether you look for a translation, sport results, weather or definitions they hoard content and shove it on their page.

Faking it doesn't work if you are committing fraud?
I try my best to only procure swag that was actually distributed by the company at time of operation. As an example, you can buy "joke" Enron t-shirts, which I wouldn't be interested in, but some authentic team building event-specific shirt distributed to 50ish people? Oh baby, I'm all ears.

I think that's part of the fun, hunting for the original stuff.
It's probably minus the wire fee, so you can round up.
When I was around 11 I watched the matrix, hackers, and I think maybe played some video games that made hacking seem cool on a superficial level.

At school I searched (I believe it was on yahoo) "how to become a hacker"

The result that came back was Eric S. Raymond's post with that title. He actually keeps it up to date.

The older version was a little more vitriolic but it really hasn't changed that much otherwise. It's full of lots of fun hacker culture stuff. Encouraging curiosity, talking about the history of the word "hacker", vaugely anti-authority at every turn.

It doesn't shy away from the technical either. It had extremely practical advice like learn http, tcp/ip, python, Linux, and all kinds of stuff like that.

I had never run across anything like that before and I was instantly hooked by everything about it and started messing around with programming languages among other things outlined in the guide.

I followed it like an instruction manual and of course made up my own syllubus too as I went along.

Fond memories.

Time to kibitz on the likely sentence! You can get the federal sentencing guidelines here:

They're long and mostly not relevant except for the sections pertaining to Holmes conduct.

Here's the indictment:

https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/page/file/1135066/download

Holmes was found guilty of one 18 USC 1349 charge, and 3 18 USC 1343 charges; the 1343's she was found guilty on were in amounts ranging from $100k to $100MM(!).

It should be possible to come up with a better guess than the New York Times' "20 years per count, but likely served concurrently".
Along these lines an old investor I knew kept a framed Bre-X share on his wall.
It's fraud case, so it exists entirely because someone was separated from their money illegally. I imagine in part this case was brought to protect some of that money through insurance, which may pay out if the fraud is proven.
