Very few ECUs have CCP/XCP writing wide open. A lot of magic is in the area of defeating the cryptographic signature check on the device (hash of flashed contents).
You are correct, and the other one is AVAILDEV. Set it to false, and device names like CON only refer to the device when prefixed with "/dev/".

Microsoft did have a reason to remove these features: compatibility with batch files.

"\dev\" actually remained special in all later versions, in that it can always be used to open a device, even if that directory doesn't exist. This could break a common idiom in batch files to test if a path is valid:

C:\> if exist \dev\nul echo Yup, still there

(I don't have a recent version of Windows to test this on, interested to see if it still works!)

But they aren't British nor Hispanic. They're Nilfgaardian and Elves. If you have some idea in your head about what that means for skin colour, it's clearly not the same idea that the writers do.
I agree with you that "true personalized search eludes them because they don't have enough data from you to tune up a model for you". That's what Larry Page said as well "Google doesn't know what you know". His ultimate goal is Answer Machine powered by AI but that's not happening anytime soon. I think internet search engines that we are using today are primitive compared to what we will have in the future.
Sure, but moving your whole app under a single origin to avoid dealing with CORS doesn't weaken any protection here.

Regarding finding reviews, I think we have to look at the problem in a different way.

Instead of having 1 search engine which returns the same results for everyone (depending on interests, etc, like Google does), we could have trust networks. E.g. you trust a few people, those people trust other people. From this network you could build something like PageRank, which computes some kind of transitive closure of trust for one given person. This will then determine the search ordering for that person.
They did that via public domain usage; the OP is making the point that extending it just to "death of author" will allow Disney to continue to do this. Nowadays, they surely can just buy the rights to stuff they want, but that's a completely separate issue and not one that copyright law is meant to address.

Ah, ok—I was probably reading your comment through the filter of "comments supporting my view are constantly getting downvoted/flagged/suppressed on this site", which is a more common complaint (which was also making appearances in this thread).

Software can indeed affect subthread ranking, and moderators do that too—but certainly not for pro- or anti-diversity (or any other $divisive-topic) reasons. We downweight top subthreads for reasons like this: (1) they're too generic rather than engaging with something specific in the article; (2) they're high-indignation/low-information; (3) they're meta; (4) they're offtopic in a predictable way*. What all 4 of those categories (and there are probably others) have in common is that they tend to both get heavily upvoted and to not be interesting in HN's sense of the word. Once they get heavily upvoted, they tend to hang out at the top of the page, accruing mass and choking out more curious conversation. We try to use moderation and (to some extent) software as countervailing mechanisms to these default tendencies, because we've learned over the years that this is one of the highest-leverage things we can do to make threads more interesting. But this has nothing whatever to do with agreeing or disagreeing with the points being made.

Edit: I'm guessing you were talking about https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29785012, which indeed got downweighted in exactly this way, because it falls into categories #1, #3, and #4 above. But not into #2, at least, which is unusual and to your credit.

* Unpredictable whimsical offtopicness, by contrast, is often interesting and we try to give it a pass. Otherwise moderation would get too predictable in its own right. I often have to remind people about that.
There may be more wildlife trade to the south, but Wuhan has a substantial amount of wildlife trade, along with being the trading and transport hub in a region with lots of Rhinolophid bat habitat in rural areas (and areas where the human population has a considerable (several %) background prevelance of bat virus antibodies. Appearance in autumn could easily fit with infection from a traded animal a couple months earlier and perhaps a couple of host jumps to gain mutations that conferred pandemic potential. We won't know just how much of a long shot - or just how parsimonious a Wuhan emergence was unless we actually identified early hosts and the likely chain of events that occurred, but depending on the details, even despite the points you raise Wuhan could end up the 'likeliest' spot.

My point here is assuming zoonotic origin, it isn't a one in a trillion coincidence that Wuhan has a coronavirus lab. It has a coronavirus lab for the same reasons a zoonotic origin appears likely - it is within trading/sampling expedition distance to bat caves and is an urban hub. Perhaps Guangdong still was the more likely candidate for a pandemic emergence, but based on what we know today Wuhan appears to be 1-in-100 betting favourite, plus or minus an order of magnitude.
You can get 1G or 10G ports with an Internet carrier (Cogent, HE, etc.) for a fixed monthly fee, so the only variable egress fee would be from AWS. The fixed cost is nontrivial and it's definitely a ton of complexity though, which would have to be justified in variable cost savings.
When I imagine your scenario, I like the idea of accepting that there’s no true “Star Wars” and having a bunch of different variations on it that we can enjoy/discuss.

For example, Disney had a bunch of anime studios produce different non-cannon Star Wars shorts. I loved the variety, and I loved seeing everyone talk about which ones were their favourites. I think a stronger public domain would really help with this.
I'm not sure why you think writing about the balance of interests isn't part of building counter power.

They must put the capital to work in building the replacement for Shenzhen/Guangdong or they’re going to fall as soon as investors realize the risk of them being subject to “sudden death.” (This is not the same thing as the 40 years of doom that were predicted for them.) How realistic is it that America allows Apple to continue sourcing there while it is assisting the people of Taiwan in their evacuation? At the same time, China may disrupt Apple supply once it finds Apple is financing the obsolescence of its tech zone, though they risk a lot of civil unrest if they do. Likewise, Apple probably needs some assurances that if they yield that supply chain, the vacuum will not be filled by competitors —meaning new Western regulation and whatever infrastructure they contribute to will be held in common and accessible to competitors according to investment (which is also not ideal for Apple domination, but the alternative is continued shadow of sudden death due to politics/regulation). In any case, it’s no longer an appropriate investment for many of the funds holding it.

Arguable. Non-feedlot raised animals do evidence some seasonality in the texture and flavor of the meat.

The nutritional value of the meat produced / consumed may be chemically similar although there is some research to support the higher human health benefits (CLAs, Omega 3s,Omega 9s, etc.) of grass-fed beef, but it is the stewardship used to raise those animals has a vastly different impact on the environment. Can't really speak to your neighbor in particular but you could ask him/her about rotational grazing and their antibiotic / animal healh protocols.

Just because you can't see the tail-pipe emissions coming from your car doesn't mean they aren't real and impacting your health and the viability of future generations.

By "free press," I mean a First Amendment-type operation. Which we probably don't really have at the moment, for the reasons (state sponsored/corporate sponsored) you state.

The Internet did transcend that once upon a time, except now it's just even more corporate sponsored and controlled. There is no First Amendment-type operation as, if a corporate entity wants to, they can deplatform you at the access, services, network, or financing tier, with the full support of the government.

Which wouldn't be so bad, except the government is also fully co-opted by corporate interests. We had a free market and let capitalism take over, and now we don't have a free market, neither in goods and services, nor in information.

How exactly do you quantify this harm? Most of these re-definitions of "harmful" speech always seem unclear and difficult to define. Under the current legal framework (which you said you disagreed with) we already have standards and methods of quantifying that harm when speech directly incites violence. These same measures also explicitly define anything else as not harmful.

The way I see it, the government has more of a duty to protect free speech than it does to prevent nebulous, poorly-defined and indirect harm. Outside of these moral implications (that no speech is fundamentally harmful, that we must have the freedom to have incorrect ideas), efforts to "prevent harmful speech" always seem to hurt society and individuals when put into practice. There is always the problem of who defines what harm is (usually it's the government) and such measures exist now explicitly to prevent the government from infringing on these rights.
Yeah, you can't just go throwing that around willy-nilly either...

Hmm. I shall read more. It's been a while since I've looked at this stuff.
The fuel production does not deal with heavy metal mining and then processing. The reactor itself is save in the sense that the worst thing that can happen is, that you scorch the reactor wall, because there is just not enough energy in the reactor at any given time. And if there is something going wrong then you're dealing with a nuclear inventory of a few grams hydrogen that will quickly oxidize into heavy water, instead of a thousand tonnes of fuel that will happily melt under its own few hundred megawatts of decay heat. And the end product of the fusion reaction is helium, which is chemically inert and not radioactive. Instead most of the radioactive waste are the reactor walls, which are activated iron and therefore have a half live of 2.5 yrs, so you have to keep the radioactive waste for something like 250 years save instead of for 250 000 years, and it is iron, not a complex mix of heavy metals and gases that over time changes it's composition.

[PS:] Forgot the proliferation aspect. There is actually not that much difference between a civilian and military nuclear program. By contrast the main proliferation problem of fusion is, that it deals with a lot of tritium and it is straightforward to build a tritium booster for a bomb, however for that you need a bomb first.

> They're Nilfgaardian and Elves

Right, but the show casts all other Nilfgaardians and elves as white people. If the show casted all Nilfgaardians as black people or gave a story reason for a mixed composition then it would be compelling. But they don't. That's why Fringilla's casting seems shoehorned in.
In addition to being informative, this reminded me of how good journalism is written and structured. Thanks for the link!

That's true, but I think those are just two different markets. I'm more than happy if Disney continues to make whitewashed family friendly movies for people to unwind in the evening. But I would also want other companies to make other kinds of contents with the same IP, targeting different people with different expectations.

On the digital world we are all about finding unique niches and unique needs, but in media we are mostly stuck with "the big studio that makes the thing that appeals to most people as possible". That's ok, but it's only one way of approaching the market and the audiences. It would be nice if other people would be able to test other things also using the same worlds and characters if they wish so.
Copyright length should be 0. Owners should not be able to use the state to prevent people making copies of text.

These restrictions were scandalous when British parliament legislated them in the "Act for preventing the frequent Abuses in printing seditious treasonable and unlicensed Books and Pamphlets and for regulating of Printing and Printing Presses" - to favor the printers' guild (1662); and it is scandalous today.

The article says:

> Reasoning out whether it should exist based on philosophical first principles is largely a dead end.

it is a dead end in the sense that one would not be able to convince a person who does not assume the legitimacy of copy restrictions would not be convinced.
This doesn't even make conceptual sense. An author chooses to divert their working time to producing a piece of content (say, about a honey-guzzling bear) with the expectation that they'll be rewarded by the market for doing so, which is why they don't instead divert all their efforts into writing ad copy for PepsiCo.

The amount of reward the market provides is based on the value that can be extracted from that property. If value can only be extracted while the author draws breath, the market provides much less reward --- for the author, in this lifetime.

Bear in mind that intellectual property is in some ways even more defensible than real property. The rights to real property are fundamentally secured through conquest and forcible appropriation. IPR is generated de novo, from the creators themselves.

So, to me, the opposite argument seems to apply. There's no obvious moral reason that copyright should be in any way tied to the lifespan of the author. A cultural work is no less valuable because its author happens to get hit by a bus the week after they publish; why on earth should the market for those works be asked to consider that possibility?

(This is potentially an argument against creators, in the sense that an unusually long-lived author is no more entitled to excess rewards than an unlucky bus-strike victim is entitled to fewer rewards.)
According to the very article you cite, Apple was NOT "letting this go on", but shut down the plant until it improved conditions.

Poorly designed code will perform poorly. Well designed code won’t have delay problems.

Where in this entire thread was it suggested to spawn a thread per file? Threads are able to perform more than a single unit of work.
If you haven't felt the compulsion to make fan art, write fan fiction, make your own versions of songs, etc, then it probably doesn't make any sense.

Copyright, even when no profit motive exists on the part of the "fan artist", makes those pursuits technically illegal. (Whether the copyright holder pursues action is a different matter.)

The work I like to cite is "The Last Ringbearer"[0]. It's a retelling of the Lord of the Rings and won't see a mass audience any time soon because of copyright law and the Tolkien estate.

Contrast that with the success of Wicked[1][2], building on the public domain L. Frank Baum "Wizard of Oz" universe.

Both of these works could be created with new characters and universes, but they lose the common cultural lexicon and richness of heritage of the earlier works upon which they're based.

> and makes it harder for a fan to follow since they will effectively be competing with eachother as the true "Star Wars".

It really doesn't - in a sane world, this is something that can be readily assessed by fans, critics and academic scholarship. You might as well argue that Shakespeare being in the public domain makes it hard to know whether a theatrical production is "reallly" Shakespeare.
I created this framework after finding the existing Node Discord bot frameworks to be too heavy for my use cases, and wanted a really simple and straightforward way to get a bot off of the ground. It's not nearly as feature-rich as some of the other frameworks out there, but I'm pretty happy with how effective it is at providing an expressive way to create bot commands.
Sure - the original 'bargain' around copyright (between printers and the King) was that copyright, an unnatural monopoly right, would be granted for a fixed period of time and then would revert to the public domain (remember this was at a time when there was only the public domain, if you wanted a copy of something you paid someone to do it for you, printing changed all that).

The big problem with the recent changes is that a deal where you cede a right for a period of time and then get to enjoy it later in your life is moot when everyone who is party to the first part (ie society) is dead when the second part occurs
Half their content is algorithm generated
It should be 20 years, the descendents can get the profits made during that time or they can get a job
> That was the original idea behind intellectual property law,

It really wasn't. It was printer biz holding culture for ransom with government backing, right from the start.
Sure! That's what "good copyright" is for. But at some point Pooh/Mickey/etc become part of the public domain. That currently takes longer that I think is necessary to pay the artists, and largely in place to pay shareholder dividends of the big corps owing the intellectual property (IP).

It in then my artistic freedom to equate IP with culture and consider the really long expiry times "holding ransom".
