No. The last major term extension was a perfect storm of Germany, Disney, and everyone else in the industry bullying around the EU and US to go life+70. Mickey Mouse was also arguably one of Disney's flagship works back then. This was also in a world where copyright was a boring part of the law nobody cared about except the people who benefited from it's imposition.

This isn't really the case anymore:

- Copyright law was already harmonized up. There are very few countries that regularly grant longer terms: Mexico, Columbia, Jamaica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, and Equatorial Guinea. None of those countries are international dealmakers and I do not see the US or EU raising terms to match them.

- Disney's flagship properties aren't Disney works anymore. They're the Star Wars and Marvel universes. Those have greater cultural cachet, remaining copyright terms to match, and Disney owns them lock, stock, and barrel. Snow White isn't even their own work; it's a German folk tale that the Brothers' Grimm made a children's version[0] of, a century prior to Disney's animated adaptation. The characters and story are already public domain, Disney only owns an animated adaptation of it.

- In the sense that Disney might not fully control the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they stand to benefit by weakening copyright (so they can stop having to share Spider-Man with SONY), not extending it.

- There's less appetite among other creators for longer terms. The big hot-button issue with authors is the market power of large platforms; the sort of thing that can't be fixed by just lengthening terms out more. Furthermore, the Sonny Bono act was pushed through with a promise that the extra licensing money publishers got would result in more artists getting more money; this has not happened and I don't think they'll get fooled again.

- Stop SOPA/PIPA happened. Furthermore, thanks to a combination of YouTubers having terrible copyright discipline and actual scammers using DMCA 512 as an extortion mechanism; there's far more public awareness of the downsides of having strongly-enforced copyright laws.

[0] Ironically, the Grimm versions of these fairy tales are perceived as more "hardcore" and "uncensored", mostly because Disney softened them down more.
I started keeping an “In case I’m dead” file for my immediate family pre-9/11 after a close call on a flight. Basic instructions about what accounts I have and where. 20+ years and a marriage later I’ve updated things to ensure my spouse has ready access to all of our financial accounts through a shared email account. We use a 1password family account with individual accounts for both of us and a shared “vault” for all household items. There’s still a paper folder with key passwords and passphrases (eg the 1password master key for my account). I keep our domains renewed well into the future so that nothing expires suddenly while whoever is dealing with my estate. All important information is kept in our safe deposit box including a thumb drive. Can’t assume any digital media will be usable, regardless of format, so everything critical is printed.

I had to manage my parents estates in the early 2000s and my experience then was that the digital companies had very little experience or idea of how to deal with estates. Some simply asked for a copy of the letters of estate, others made it extremely difficult. Can’t imagine what the current crop of social media businesses will do.
I am of similar persuasion.

Previously Covid-infected, two Pfizers in me, scheduled for the booster on Wednesday, but I definitely feel that forcing people into vaccination by economic and political pressure is going to backfire. If the root problem is lack of trust, use of force will likely make it worse.
I first heard about biodynamics on a winery tour in Sonoma Valley. I couldn’t believe my ears. It was like Scientology for grapes.
> The key difference is that central bankers were in a very different state of mind in 2008. MMT realy imposed itself post 2008.

> So while it's relevant to brace for a small crash due to interest rates adjustments if inflation continues, I wouldn't bet on a full scale snowballing cash grab, that killed relatively healthy institutions like in 2008.

This is a dangerous view because you're assuming the Fed won't be backed into a corner like Volcker. They may end up having to choose between the markets and the integrity of the dollar. When entertaining the counterfactual, it seems in hindsight like Volcker made the right call (and many economists endorse that notion), even though it manifested considerable short term pain.
There are answers to this. I asked myself this a few years ago, which led recursively to new tricky questions. I eventually solved the tree of the questions: I designed myself into a solution that I later realized was essentially an asymmetric PAKE (e.g., analogous to OPAQUE).

So, an attempt to solve your question eventually leads to using an asymetric PAKE. But, this is way, way more complex. You'd really have to squint your eyes to believe that the diminishing returns are worth it.

Nope. The crew is responsible for verifying anything and everything important for the flight safety.

A button like that would be pretty dangerous. Just imagine somebody pressed this in an emergency...

In general flying a plane is already complex. You need to be able to understand what is going to happen to the plane when you press a button. Something that resets a lot of other settings would have extremely complex consequences.

That sounds like a fun challenge. If you're constraining yourself to use as few libraries as possible, I'd go with OBJ [1] for the 3d mesh and PPM [2] for writing images. It's easy to implement a bare bones reader/writer and some OSes (like macOS) can show them in the file browser. Raytracing in One Weekend goes over PPM. There are a bunch of header-only libraries that handle different file formats like stb_image [3]. I usually end up using those when I start dealing with textures or UI elements. I don't use Windows so I haven't used their APIs for projects like this. I'd usually go for imgui or SDL (like you mentioned). tinyracaster, a sibling project of tinyrenderer, touches on those [4]. I liked LazyFoo's SDL tutorial [5]. Good luck!

What an annoying style of writing. A lot of name calling etc.
Curious if this can help with hardware backdoors. This probably uses OS APIs which a sophisticated spyware would maybe work around?
Radiation is a pretty weird thing that is easily misunderstood because people use the same term to talk about very different things. While sitting in the sun will cause UV radiation and can result in skin cancer it's not the same as interesting cesium. Though both can cause cancer.

But if we're just talking about increase chance of cancer iirc the meat calculations you need to eat like 15 kg of boar a day from that region (like 3kg if the highest measured). I'll let you make your guesstimate from there. And we're not even talking about risk of cancer from eating that much meat.
Great video, thanks.

I find it weird that we learn so little about aviation when the industry has so much to teach us. The checklist manifesto was a great attempt to try to implement checklists in the hospital and other places, but from CRM to workload management there is so much to benefit from what the airline industry has pioneered.

I have always wondered how feasible it would be to use the basic auth URL syntax for thinks like API tokens and email validation. Ideally these values would not be logged but if you want a user to click them they basically need to be in the URL. So either you don't log URLs or you need to redact all of these parameters. Most systems are smart enough to avoid logging passwords so if you could just use URLs like randomtoken@example.com/confirm-email. However it seems like browsers usually put up scary warnings and most email providers will consider this a spammy/scammy pattern.

Of course another problem here is that you just want it for one URL, whereas basic auth is usually preserved for the session.
Fascinating that in the video there's one seemingly undamaged house surrounded by others that were all burnt down to their foundations. There has to be a story there other than just luck.
Ask HN: PhDs who’ve gone to hedge funds- how did you learn hedge funding?
Curious, because it almost seems like you’re starting from scratch. What is the curriculum? Is there a standard set of books you are give when you’re a PhD who has opted to go to “the dark side” (only joking)
The part where they stop selling cards will sure go completely unnoticed by everyone and not draw any scrutiny at all.

Yes, it’s almost the only example anyone can think of, and yes, I agree that the Apple 2 was good product innovation and identified a new segment.

However that segment was transient. The business use case in the medium term was far better served by the IBM PC, which all but eliminated the use of the Apple 2 as anything more than a home computer.

The Mac, of course, was largely based on innovations made by Xerox, then a giant corporation, who licensed them to Apple on ludicrously favorable terms.

This was an example of Jobs as a great dealmaker. Of course Apple built on top of the innovation they bought, but without Xerox there would have been no Mac.
Disclaimer: My experience in piloting is just a couple of hours flying planes in kerbal space program.

Wouldn't that much speed cause the plane to ascent naturally, even with zero pitch, just by the body lift? (Although, it is quite possible that real life planes have negative body lift, I have no idea)
Yes, that is possible but generally not natively in most applications and end-user operating systems.

Without native support, traffic control like that requires something like pf or iptables to managed the traffic you want to treat differently. This means something like an outbound firewall that does a different NAT or different route or different redirect (generally packet rewriting). If you want to scope it to more than just a port or IP (or a range of them) and be specific to an application, you'd be needing some type of socket filter which works at the socket level in the OS. Applications generally use sockets to interface with the network, and those sockets are provided by the OS and thus it can control the aspects of those.

Without those, you can also have a dedicated interface for the 'special' traffic.
Some applications allow you to specify an outgoing interface, for those you can have them use a specific interface and have a firewall rule that redirects that port. Others don't, and you'd have to encapsulate them in a namespace (i.e. a docker container) or VM which then 'creates' that dedicated interface your application would have to use. Then you can pipe that interface through your packet filter of choice and achieve the same thing.

Alternatively you can pipe all of the traffic of such a 'packaged' setup through your VPN. Since you'll only be running your application inside that configuration only it would be affected.

Today, when I find myself in a scenario where I need some of this, I either have created a situation that is problematic to begin with (i.e. trying something silly that shouldn't be done in the first place) or I'm trying to simulate something like a L2 protocol over an L3 VPN for remote debugging. I've found that everything in the first category generally is a waste of time to work with anyway.
Ha. Don't remember that.

I was kayaking with a long ago girlfriend and we were in the parking lot for the Winthrop boat launch. And I do remember we got into some conversation with a local and HE TALKED VERY LOUDLY. Which was something we joked about for a time.

You could actually land your boat at the end of Logan airport from there. But I assume if you were to do so, serious people with serious weaponry would pay you a visit very quickly.
Speaking of bad UX choices, the FAA is constantly dropping one or two or more digits from numbers like altitudes, runway lengths, heading, timestamps, etc. For example, "the runway from 180° is 5200 feet long" becomes "RWY18 52" which I suppose you get used to, but it's just begging for mixups.
Other laws that I liked:

"If you're not 5 minutes early, you're 10 minutes late."

"The expectation that more programmers on the team leads to faster shipment times is like expecting two women to give life to a baby in 4.5 months."

"Only 50% of programming is writing code. The other 90% is debugging."

Hofstadter's law: “It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law."
I admit I wasn't bit by these changes and had a much better experience overall. Thank you for the long write-up.

However, I think you only mentioned changes in major releases, whereas in this scenario (vulnerability fix) a minor release would suffice (the parent mentioned updating to a point release of a library). Did you also have issues with minor releases?
I took a look through the Dropbox launch comments. I understand that there's a meme of someone creating something, everyone responding by being dismissive and then it being a massive success. However, reading that comments section, I think it's really quite positive and constructive. Sure, someone says "I could do the same with XYZ" but if you look at all the comments, or even all of the comment of the person providing the alternative, it's an overwhelmingly positive response. If you post your project on HN and someone goes "this is great but how are you going to cope if 10,000 users sign up tomorrow" I think you should be pretty happy.
As an alternative, try this: They believe in democracy, and that the existence of their technical power obliges them to not use it. Noblesse oblige in a modern way.
> So that when kph/mph is heard a pilot knows they're referencing ground speed, whereas knots is air speed.

Who is using MPH/KPH in the course of flying a plane? Why would this ambiguity resolve to “that must be ground speed”? Why would there be ambiguity in a speed readout at all? Surely context and procedure should disambiguate this rather than units?

I am sorry to hear this. I think there are many people in a similar boat to you and there are quite a few people working on command & dictation computing. Although my tool _may_ help you find out which speech systems work well for your voice/accent/mic/vocab it might also be worth trying another one of the specialist libraries specifically for dictation and controlling computers.

I've not heard of Almond, but I have seen the following projects which might be helpful:

- Dragonfly: https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/dragonfly

- Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk1mGbIJx3s / Software: https://github.com/daanzu/kaldi-active-grammar

Far field audio is usually harder for any speech system to get correct, so having a good quality mic and using it nearby will _usually_ help with the transcription quality. As a long time Linux user, I would love to see it get some more powerful voice tools - really hope that this opens up over the next few years. Feel free to drop me an email (on my profile) happy to help with setup on any of the above.
> I really hope that's not the actual message Emirates is putting out there.

The goal in your example effectively becomes: become a person that is physically fit, dietary conscious. The lose 10lbs is like a side effect.
What can I say. It's your site, your rules.

But I disagree strongly with your "way over the top" Daniel – that's just rude.

Mine was an on-topic factual response, substantiated with relevant links, articulated in a perfectly civil manner. Along with my sibling responses.

I bet you many people were not aware of these facts, or the broader historical context. All perfectly appropriate given the thread topic. I'm kinda sad this information (it really took effort to compile) is now invisible :(
Beware what you wish for. There is no bottom to this rabbit hole. Everyone does something potentially harmful to their bodies. Drivers, airplane travelers, meat eaters, people who stress themselves too much, suicide attempt survivors, people who live next to a polluting industrial plant even if they could afford to move elsewhere.

There is a reason why the Hippocratic oath does not have exceptions for currently unpopular groups. Even captured Nazi war criminals weren't denied medical care in prison.
I would add the yellowfoot to the list. Perhaps also the sheep polypore.
As somebody who doesn't regularly interact with aviation I don't have an intuitive understanding of knots and feet so to me it is helpful to have these translated to units that I "understand".
I think the situation might be similar that's right. But Volcker increasing rates took a lot of time to curb inflation and didn't cause a crash like in 2008.
There're several illegal ways as well.
You can change the password to a random one (`pwgen -s 30`), request account deactivation and then discard the password.
Sure. But if the numbers are below regulation numbers why write articles on it constantly. I mean the same thing happened with fish around California after Fukushima. There was a measurable increase in radiation in the fish but still well below legal limits which are below dangerous levels (factors of safety are built in. Caution is good after all).
In this test, a zero is a perfect score.
With very few exceptions, wild mushrooms are supposed to be cooked before eaten.

Do you have more info on uncooked morel risks?
Kind of like “port knocking” but for HTTP.
> I catch heat every time I mention that air crew training and certification standards are not uniform across the globe and that I am reluctant to fly on many foreign-flag carriers. (However, Emirates and most EU-flag carriers are ones that I would not hesitate to fly on.)

Has anyone made some sort of a rough list of which carriers one can feel safe on?
And it’s even more local than that. In the WA area you will find completely different mushrooms and have to be good at different positive idenfication techniques depending on what type of forest you are in
Yeah, that and the one on MLK (not really downtown, I know). Seems pretty common that women take the long way to avoid both.

I guess you could imagine restaurants switching from lunch to dinner service, but yeah the whole idea of downtown lends itself to emptiness I guess. Certainly not helped in Baltimore's case by how many of the offices are just empty.
Gross generalisations like “the people there lack humanity” make me very sad. I don’t know anything about the DRC and have never even visited Africa, but I bet the majority of people there care mostly about having good shelter, safety, enough food to eat, and looking after their kids the best they can.

Like everyone else in the world.
And in so doing, saving the world orders of magnitude more in $$$ than he could have won solving a Millenium problem.

Last time I had to use Visual Studio (about 10 years ago) I used emacs to write my C# code and used Visual Studio to manage the "project" and run builds. Mainly because I had 2 decades of Emacs muscle memory and I kept fighting it in VS (yes, I tried the emacs keybindings in VS).

idk if you even need a zero knowledge proof.

Server sends client a salt, client hashes the salt and password and sends back to server.

Implement this as a built-in feature of the web browser, and the browser can show a special icon or symbol to mark that the password will be sent hashed (and later show a warning on password fields sent via plaintext).
