You don't get to have it both ways:

If you go by the spirit of things tanking a package and Github/MS/npm taking over to undo that is fair game. Even if it's not literally a virus, obviously damaging basic functionality to make a statement is not a sustainable practice for NPM to continue functioning

If you want to go by the letter and what legal rights someone has:

https://docs.npmjs.com/policies/conduct

> The Service administrators reserve the right to make judgment calls about what is and isn't appropriate in published packages, package names, user and organization names, and other public content. Package that violates the npm Service's Acceptable Use rules including its Acceptable Content rules will be deleted, at the discretion of npm.

https://docs.npmjs.com/policies/open-source-terms

> Your Content belongs to you. You decide whether and how to license it. But at a minimum, you license npm to provide Your Content to users of npm Services when you share Your Content. That special license allows npm to copy, publish, and analyze Your Content, and to share its analyses with others. npm may run computer code in Your Content to analyze it, but npm's special license alone does not give npm the right to run code for its functionality in npm products or services.

> When Your Content is removed from npm Services, whether by you or npm, npm's special license ends when the last copy disappears from npm's backups, caches, and other systems. *Other licenses, such as open source licenses, may continue after Your Content is removed. Those licenses may give others, or npm itself, the right to share Your Content with npm Services again.*

Seriously, why are people so adamant about defending this? We're all part of a giant ecosystem that relies on everyone being "a freeloading dick" in your eyes. Colors wouldn't have its audience without its creator being a "freeloading dick" and expecting NPM to serve it millions of times for free. NPM relies on a JS ecosystem propped up by "freeloading dicks".

"Freeloading dick" is such a dumb characterization of what it really is: Expecting FOSS creators and maintainers to be somewhat cognizant of the ecosystem past the tip of their nose.
No, they're (very likely) using the same mobile entitlements system that does tethering/mobile hotspot and WiFi calling enablement checks (the Entitlement Layer Protocol).
It uses PDQ for images and MD5 for videos. I imagine it's trivial to bypass.
I'm the family's unofficial archivist so I inherited a bunch of 8mm reels from the 1950s and most of the camcorder tapes.

This candid pictures remind me of those 1950s reels.

Since film cameras were new back then, almost everyone in the videos ignored the cameras and carried on with their normal activities. Just normal real life. Those videos are very natural.

As the decades pass, people start reacting to the video cameras differently. Videos from the 1980s and 1990s are full of "say hello to the camera scenes" when people unnaturally turn to the camera and say hello to it or make faces to it.

In the 2010s, cameras become smaller people start showing their best sides when the camera is nearby, like an automatic instagram pose style reflex.
Nope, I was not aware. Neat.
In the US, big Carrier A implements the full array of iPhone capabilities for carriers under Settings > Cellular; big Carrier B does not. Most people aren’t aware of what they’re missing, but for example, when implemented by the carrier properly, the cellular data usage heading is “this billing cycle” instead of “however long it’s been since you last clicked Reset Statistics manually”; and Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding has an iOS native UI rather than forcing you to dial 1980s-style *#12##0112636382* modem strings into the dialer.

Does your carrier implement this? If not, will you switch carriers? It’s unclear what degree of importance you assign to your expectation, as it could be anything from “for the tasks I care about” to “in every possibly way without exception”. (For me: It’s not important eniugh to switch carriers on its own, though it’s certainly a factor if I have greater reasons.)

I am not disputing that people were interring the bodies because they cannot afford cremation. But is that proof that all of them died of covid? In the last video you linked (Burka Dutt one), the pandit gives 2 reasons for more bodies on the river bed:
1. fear of covid
2. cremation charges went up due to covid, which in turn caused people to inter the bodies of non-covid deaths as well.

My point of replying to the original comment which used dead bodies in India's river as a sign of under counting was to question the idea of comparing the current situation to Spanish flu (which killed upto 17-18 million in India). What happened in UP/Bihar (news says up to 2000 bodies were found) is an isolated incident, specific to those states. Can that be used as an indication that the remaining 26 states are hiding, since these 2 are one of the most poorest states in India? I should be hearing news about discarded bodies from other states also right?

> Government contractors pressed into removing commemorative burial markers less they be counted by drones

Since you posted local YouTube channels, do you know how they handled the new dead bodies after the news about this incident broke out?
> Like, for example, evidence that the author actually takes security issues seriously and has a formal way to announce them.

Personally I think there is a business model in there. "Curated" code releases/versions by a trusted third party you pay to review all the code. It would be a boring job, like being an auditor.

Bonus points, you can pay an "ethical" one that then tries to get money to the OSS devs of libraries that their clients demand the most.

Unlikely. Not saying that there's no effect, but even without COVID it's already setting alarms at CCP.

The declining population of China is a well-known problem so much that its one-child policy was progressively loosened and the scrapped altogether. Essentially, if the Chinese people (collectively) decide to focus on growing a 3+ child family, this population crunch will decline, but it seems that in major urban areas the people in general voiced that the policies might not be pro-family enough to reverse this shrinkage (with even some pointing to practices that indirectly discourage bringing up a family like workplace discrimination on pregnant women).
You are not wrong that influence can cause those, as any disease that causes a fever can cause multi organ failure and death. The likelihood of the common cold killing a person is however fairly low if the person is young and in otherwise good health.

The criteria I would use is if the medical community is recommending testing for damage after illness. I an pretty use the recommendation is not to test the lungs, kidneys, heart, and brain after an influenza infection for people with no other symptoms. I could be wrong, so feel free to correct me here.

I do know however that dive doctors recommend divers to test for lung damage after a confirmed covid infection, even with no symptoms after infection. There is no such recommendation for influenza, so I would hazard a guess that the risk for otherwise healthy divers after an influenza infection is less than of covid. I have yet see a recommendation for omicron, but for now I would be cautious until the data is in.
What, are there innovations that are gathering dust because of the decision style of a bureaucracy? I find that hard to believe, that new ideas wouldn't have leaked out to the startups in this space (Coursera, etc.). Obviously even the Ubers of Learning aren't doing anythnig different than 5 years ago or we would be seeing Super Bowl ads from them, because the effect and implications would be seismic. Imagine if suddenly classes were able to be as effective as anybody has been wanting, which is to say "noticeably more effective." What if it wasn't a grid of facetimes anymore? I think that would probably be a big deal.
As a SWE, my preferred export format would be a folder with a Dockerfile. I'm not sure how GPUs work with docker, but if I could just run the container on a machine with a gpu, or deploy it into a k8s cluster with an affinity for a node with a gpu, that would be my ideal. I'm not sure how I'd want model drift to be addressed, so being able to pull down and deploy new versions would be something to consider as well.

Just use a 'name' field if possible, yes.

Otherwise, add a whole bundle of fields and make none of them mandatory. That's what Google Contacts does, and that seems to work ok.
That's not a gray area. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
I don't really expect to find one (I won't have the results for an 8-character input until tomorrow afternoon sometime, and 9-character inputs around mid-March if I don't reboot my machine), but thought it would be an interesting experiment - and hey, blind luck can always play a part :) Plus I got to learn a little Rust!

At 1 million hashes per second (assuming that speed remains fairly constant - which it probably won't), it would take my machine around 2.5 trillion years to get through the entire 64^16 set! Once I get to source strings that are 20 characters long, I should have about a 25% chance of having found a collision
> does that mean an edited image (eg cropped or resized) wouldn't be detected?

Depends on the hash, and I also wouldn't be surprised if "fingerprint" turned out to be a more accurate term. This is a PR document, after all. ;) You can normalize things like resolution and color balance, and create a hash/fingerprint that's a concatenation of hashes for portions of the image, which would allow some degree of useful comparison despite many kinds of changes. Similar techniques have been used to detect copyright violations as well, so there are technological precedents. The real question is implementation quality.
I have a healthy habit of just assuming that if something is bad then i probably wrote it.

That way once you realize it's someone else's fault you feel slightly relieved and less prone to talk poorly about them.

It's self-deprecating sure, but I've never been a believer in the whole "believe in yourself"/pro-self-esteem mindset, if you are mentally strong enough it really doesn't have an impact on how you operate or think. There's always something more brilliant, and more stupid then you are; that poor deadline based decision has been made by both you and the person who wrote that piece of crap code. We are all the same (barring some exceptions).

Though I will say, I hate what modern program "design" has become, anytime someone mentions "sprints" you know that any maintenance you do on that codebase will be a fight uphill the whole way, there's no excuse other then an exec wanted something in half the time, just to have the poor sods that come after to be doomed to poor progress reports for months after trying to fix that garbage code they are tasked to maintain.
> In most of the US 16-year-olds can get a full driver's license and drive a car on their own, assuming they have access to one.

No, in 4 states that's true (and while some states have 16½ or 16¾ requirements, it's still less than half where it is true at some point before 17.) A few decades ago before provisional driver’s license rules for younger drivers became common this was true, but full licenses have moved up in age a bit.
This used to come up in the context of insulin as well -- now it's all produced from genetically engineered microbes, but porcine insulin used to be widely used.

Both Jewish and Muslim scholars were very clear that if you need insulin and porcine is the only option, not only is it permitted to use it but it is required and failing to do so is a grave sin.

I think I've got a better picture of what you're saying: start thinking and acting like a contractor and treat my client as just that, a client.

Before I got this client I was earning 33K USD a year (high for my country). When I got this job offer I asked for a figure - despite my best efforts for them to give me one - and they came back with an offer of 20% more. Of course I was over the moon so didn't consider how competitive my salary was. I figured I'd easily get any health insurance I wanted for me and my family. Fast-forward one month and we have the cancer diagnosis and the bills start coming in.

They supposedly took over the npm packages[0,1], not the github.com repos. npm is a system where you push archives as package versions, it doesn't do its own pull from a github repo or otherwise.

Perhaps another second order effect?

Anyone who is not buying property because they can’t afford it (say in San Francisco), and is instead investing as a retail investor, is indirectly doing so because of low fed rates. Although I am unsure how much money flows into VC from retail investors via funds.

Low fed rates lead to an overpriced home market (people borrow as much as they can afford to bid on a house, and what they can afford depends on interest repayments which depends upon interest rates).

You have an expectation that NFTs would surely instantiate objects, I see no reason for that. Moreover I see no motivation for game companies to keep support.

Imagine you have an NFT for, say, a gun, let's go with AK47 because of its popularity, and say it unlocks it for the current Call of Duty (whatever that is now). Why would Activision make it work with the next CoD? Is it supposed to work with Battlefield too? Is there anything stopping people at Valve from giving you a cosmetic if you validate it, if they so desire?
All of your responses actually reek of your narcissistic tendencies. I choose to ignore your perception of reality due to the simple fact that making statements of absolutes just by assuming that what you believe to be the truth and others should fall in line with your truth is flawed.
The process/material knowledge is actually pretty easy to keep under lock and key. No one knows the formula, or the key is in the equipment that whose production is strictly controlled. They need to get access to the all of the knowledge all at once, not just bits and pieces of it.

So what stops someone from uploading an image that isn't NCII as an attempt to censor an image or get whoever shared the image in trouble? I imagine there needs to be human oversight in some way to stop abuse. But does that mean that in order to stop the spread of your personal NCII, you need to proactively share those exact same photos you are worried about getting shared?
A lot of issues here, and the historic placement of public housing was often set up to fail (cut off from the rest of the city by freeways, for example, and then underfunded), but I'll just note that housing is so expensive now that a family making $74,000 qualifies as "low income" in Yolo County. https://www.yolocounty.org/home/showdocument?id=66968

There's no requirement that the developer is a public agency and only 20% of the apartments must be made available to families making $74,000 or less.

This is far into the salary scale for Davis School District educators, for example. https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1593632639/davisk12u...

I love legacy software so much - all the trouble and care I put into making sure it continues to work while I fix and improve it, is like operating on a live patient. I see no point in judging; I like to dig and to understand the particular choices. Seeing how much trouble companies have with legacy code, I tried to market myself as a consultant around those kinds of problem: say, adapting a legacy system for a more reliable and pleasant development process, or things like this.

Unfortunately I found that it’s a hard work institutionally. Even where I found gratitude and respect of my people whose quality of life working with the software in question improved, I still was plagued by the problems of blame-assignment and career-making but futile huge rewrites orchestrated by people for whom destroying my work and denying its value was highly beneficial. I don’t know, I burnt out on this last time so hard I’ve been taking kind of a vacation.

As much as I love sustainable software development, it’s a losing battle and probably a futile goal in most of the industry. I’m just trying to accept this and move on.
