How long would you need to work to break even? (I don't know what the "average" take home/hour an uber driver gets in practice)
Would anyone have predicted that a sizeable minority of people would simply deny the existence of the pandemic and/or refuse to do the most basic precautions to protect society?

Not ten years ago.
When did society have a lot of empathy? We're nowhere near as crazy right now as 1970, 1930… not even 1990, you should see the violent crime stats then.
> I have taken fair use into consideration.

I'm constantly amazed at how many people don't understand what "fair use" actually means. Many seem to think it means "I should be able to do this" or even "I'm only using part of a copyrighted work". This issue has come up recently on Twitch with restreaming of TV shows, movies, anime and, more generally, with Youtube and other content.

Fair use [1] is a specific legal doctrine specific to the United States copyright system. Other countries have different legal standards (eg UK's fair dealing [2]). Fair use is a four part legal test and all four factors have to apply for it to fall under the legislation and precedents of US copyright law.

None of this is a commentary of the ethics of defeating DRM. From a purely legal point of view, defeating DRM puts you in violation of copyright law and all the case law (eg AACS decryption [3]) puts such efforts well outside "fair use".

Now I think the copyright situation is ridiculous, not least of which because of a certain unnamed rodent that seems to completely dictate US copyright law (eg wait for another copyright extension beyond death plus 70 years before 2025).

Personally I think copyright should be much shorter (eg 20 years total) with possible extensions that you have to pay an ever-increasing amount for.

But to anyone who wants to release tools on defeating DRM, just know you do so at your own (legal) peril and fair use doesn't apply and won't save you.

"Art".
I was not aware of that feature. To call it rare would be an understatement I think.

> while it's pretty common in the NPM world, and I don't immediately understand why that would be so.

I think it boils down to Node projects typically specifying dependencies in the form “any version >= X”, effectively “always use the latest.” Dependencies can therefore get bumped silently just by rebuilding, essentially. Whereas in the Java world updating dependencies is a deliberate process.
I believe “place-shifting” too if there’s no profit motive. At least that’s what I recall regarding the locast court decisions.
I think there are two separate issues here. Is the code illegal? Yes* Is the takedown notice correct and truthful? No*

That sounds reasonable.

In this case, if the author had updated the documentation sufficiently along with the change to make it clear what the new behavior was, that would have been fine?

I agree that malware is unhostable. And in this case I think the author crossed the line. But I am concerned about getting that line defined in a way that restricts project owners from making whatever changes they want in their own self-interest without tricking people, per se.
This seems like irresponsible speculation and insinuating that Marek is about to commit a felony?

Who asks for a particular file format?

Uh, literally anyone who works with graphics?
you still have to have back haul if you want to connect to the rest of the internet. If you want to make a mesh and do things locally with people on the mesh, and I certainly believe there is a place for that, this will work. If you want to mesh net your way out of a great firewall, you still have to find a point that has a connection to the rest of the world.

Humans are very good at detecting rancid milk from the smell; I believe nobody's developed a machine better than us yet.
Seems like the suicide rate in Palestine, especially in young adults, supports my position.
My point is the employer already effectively pays the 55% tax rate for the minimum wage worker. The employer has to budget for the pretax gross pay of the worker. From the point of view of the rich, poor people’s income tax is rich people’s consumption tax. rich people consume poor people’s labor.
I for one welcome the giraffe interchange format.
> The more viral load you're exposed to, the higher the infection risk. Someone speaking directly to you in close quarters with an active infection is, indeed, a significant risk factor for acquiring the virus.

No. Infectious dose may matter for severity of disease (this is a hypothesis; it has never been demonstrated). Concluding that it matters in this situation is clearly silly. You're talking about hours in a room, with hundreds of kids. You think they're all wearing perfectly fitted respirators? Come now. You honestly want to suggest that one kid pulling his mask down makes a big difference in the overall aerosol rave being described here?

Remember, we don't even know what kind of mask is being discussed. If the kid in question is wearing a cloth mask, it probably didn't matter either way, based on all current evidence.

Also remember: SARS-CoV2 shows a clear pattern of overdispersion. Most people don't spread to anyone. The chances that any particular encounter will lead to your infection are very low, regardless of masks. Put a hundred kids in a room, though, and those tiny probabilities start to multiply. Sitting for hours in a room full of hundreds of other people is dramatically higher risk than some guy pulling his mask down for a second (but the former doesn't let you blame your outcome on specific person, so it isn't nearly as satisfying, is it?)

This is the problem with Covid discussions on the internet. People get one fact half-right ("viral load matters"), and use that to generate the scariest possible hot-takes.
My attitude is if it’s funny I laugh at it, whether offensive or not. However I recognize in this day and age there is a certain sort that will be offended. I caveat for no other reason than to acknowledge that I am aware of all the downvotes I am going to get…and don’t care.
This is current situation of service industry. Once consumer bought service , they don't care.
Clack!

I wish this was a priority now.
He was basically saying A is an old problem, the new problem is B. However, there's no obvious way to solve B, so we don't solve B.

But why not solve A then? Unless.. A is not a problem anymore nowadays. (Is it, though?)

But if A is not a problem anymore, he could have just said struct field ordering was an old problem and not a problem anymore in 2010s, without mentioning the other problem.

Meanwhile the blog post suggests that struct field ordering is still a problem even in 2020s.
During the Chris Farley documentary Bob stuck around for 2 & a half hours telling Chris Farley stories because he wanted to tell each and every one.
There are free tier at some third parties to redirect for you - usually port 25 is blocked outbound, not inbound (at least mine does this), so you can receive email easily, sending them out you use a free service but they can read all your emails.
Prescriptive example from the article:

userRoles.addMember( p );
RoleAssignedEvent.publish( p, roleName );

Seems to have the exact same risk of divergence.

Depending on the language you can (and I have) used decorators/higher order functions to log the invocation of a function with its name and arguments. Zero risk of divergence there, but it was still logging not some kind of event system. The problem of divergence seems to me to be orthogonal.
I'm not sure, but it feels like the writer could open another account at a different bank?

The money is his and it's not like they're not honoring that?

I've learned that if something doesn't work twice with ACH, you try something else.

It may not be easy to open another bank account (if the seller is out of country), but 6 weeks, it's definitely worth trying.

I agree that Amazon needs to fix their stuff, but lumbering giants have like zero motivation to deal with you.

I think you could probably choose worse sources, as many people have. I also suspect you could choose better ones, but what you really need is more sources. (It's also possible that you misunderstood him, or that he didn't do a good job expressing the point.)

What's not debatable is that the fatality rate is not 0.02%, or anything close to it. The numbers don't work. If that's what he's saying, then he's telling you that your state and local health authorities have been lying to you all along... and while not an unprecedented thing (unfortunately), that's still a deadly serious accusation. You should demand that he back it up with solid citations. He won't, so you'll need to look at other sources of data and evaluate them to the best of your ability if you want to get a more accurate picture.

In the meantime, it's important not to spread false info during a pandemic, as I'm sure you'd agree.

If you look at [1] the January 2020 - predictions for 2030 thread here on HN, and look for hints of the Covid pandemic, there are only 3 mentions of any type of pandemic, and none of those was close to an actual hit. I did the reading, all of the reading.

meh, if you want to do that, limit this bandwidth to x mbps and dump that through a VPN to a VPS. If you ever have any trouble there, just get a different VPS.

Additionally, you can provide usable http/https access but block services that are likely to get you into trouble. You can even put it on your captive portal:

This service blocks torrent traffic, Use a VPN if you need to do that. (link to VPN)

Suppose that a deranged lunatic gets his hundreds of followers to dogpile you every time you tweet.

If you mute him, you'll still have him and his hundreds of friends shitting in your feed.

If you block him, he won't see your tweets, and you've raised the effort he has to put in if he wants to shit in your feed.

Some people will put that effort in, others won't.
Crazy what happens when you decide to freeload off a stranger’s code who you have no contract or agreement with whatsoever, beyond a license you must accept to use the software which disclaims any warranty whatsoever, even fitness for any purpose.

This posits that politics remains “politics” and does not devolve to widespread bloodshed. I don’t have a sense for how likely that is aside from “more likely than when I grew up.”

You would have one anyways for changing the lock file or whatever. Changing your dependencies is something that you may want to be able to undo. It's useful to be able to go back to a known working version of your program with versions of your dependencies that you know work.
I agree I too am not sure this is a solve able problem. But the dominion of Big Social has aborted the freewheeling idea of the web to be able to better suss out democratically truth & idea & reason is absolute & tragic, has been at the wheel for well over a decade, and it fucking sucks and has brought us no good, no attempts. Slashdot was one of the last attempts that seemed to try. We need to loosen back up & start to try again: something we've not done, and something that has let disinformation & malignancy rule for far too long.
Wow! Is this for residential or commercial service?
I don't have any of these on a mail server I've run for 20+ years. Mail still works reliably (both send and receive), but all the naysayers are beginning to make me think about converting to GSuite or similar.

Yeah, but in my experience limiting yourself to the POSIX sh feature set is almost always just nitpicking. Bash is ubiquitous enough that this is hardly a problem in practice.

I’ve considered that, there are a few scenarios:

- some sites favor security over UI/UX

- some organisations have the funding to review packages such as react

In the future I think security bureaucracy will prevent security conscious organisations from having nice new things. This happens in places like the military (who were known to use WinXP long after public EOL).

The Perl package is GPL. He took definitions from it, ported them to JS, and licensed them as MIT. "Is license violation theft?" is one of those questions like "Is piracy theft?", but it does undermine his insistence that he should be allowed commercialise the result.
my issue is with getting gist after reading sth...i simply can't get that..i.e comprehend what I read properly in my own words. I try to memorize what is written in book as I don't get gist. So I prefer learning from slides from various US universities.

Yes its in the format itself, but I am looking for something that looks good.
I actually attribute it more to the micro package architecture, but maybe I don’t know it well enough. I don’t know any other ecosystem with a left-padding package for instance.
They are. The problem is the prevalence of version ranges, which were never part of semantic versioning and instead added by npm. The author published a new version as a patch release which means everyone using version ranges automatically pulled it.
Good.

Like it or not, anticircumvention measures are black-letter law in much of the world. In the USA, producing or distributing software designed to circumvent DRM can subject you to civil and criminal penalties.

According to 17 U.S.C. section 512, it is not necessary for the material itself to be infringing in order for a DMCA notice to be valid. If "an activity using the material" is infringing, the material must be removed upon receipt of a takedown notice.

Therefore, it is likely that takedown notices are as legitimate for material that violates Section 1201 as they are for copyrighted material.

This is copyright law working as intended, nothing more.

But you can run it at different resolutions. Create areas of different biomes, then generate within them, allowing you to move between distinctive regions.

Email is in a funny space. Spf showed up. And although it meant some political fights when people expected to send email from anywhere, it was free to run in the dollar sense. Same with dkim.

Dmarc is increasingly required to get past spam filters. And doing dmarc properly requires a reporting service. Either you run servers or use a hosted service like the one that created this page. That's fine for some business, but putting a cost on dmarc reporting and then making dmarc a heavy signal in spam filters is a huge pain for some scenarios.

It's not highly expensive, but on non monetized side projects it can frustrating how how much the internet expects you to have dmarc on every domain now.
A doctor once told me that babies can't see clearly at distance. Well, a few hours after my daughter was born I entered the room where she was sitting on my wife, and she followed me with her eyes, like a much older child, I walked from one side to the other maybe 3+ meters away, and I couldn't stop looking at her watching me, it was unbelievable. Then she did the same to a nurse that entered the room later, paying attention to everything the nurse did around the room. In comparison my second child was the usual sleepy baby that didn't pay any attention to people.
>I'm curious: why would this be the case?

Because the DMCA, like most US law, is written by corporations without regard for the common folk.

The RIAA and MPAA literally don't give a shit what happens so long as they get to keep gouging the public with their antiquated business models.

They can't compete so they resort to litigation to protect their bottom line(s).

> Up to the second half of the 20th century, the behaviour of newborns was considered mostly reflexive.

This is missing a serious caveat regarding a start date. It might be correct to say since Darwin, or perhaps since Locke, but before that infants were often thought to be far more intellectually capable than most people assume today.
Martin Luther, to pick one example, believed infants could have faith in Christ.
>The biggest thing that excites me about the possibilities for the future of smart contracts is that creators of all kinds could automatically benefit from any work they do.

>Any company that used faker.js to make a profit would have X% of that revenue feed back to the smart contracts.

Doesn't work in the real world. If you rely on them to tell you what their profit are for a project, they'll just give you a value of 0$ and continue to not pay you the same way they did before. The blockchain/smart-contracts adds no value compared to changing the licence on your code because either way you have to beg/sue them to get paid.

Even with a client who is well intentioned and wants to pay you, they will never want to link their profit to a smart contract and expose their financial data. Measuring profit btw is very complicated and there is a lot of human interpretation to it, you can have a company worth bilions of dollars with top employees making millions per years even if it technically has never made a profit.

And also, the risk of a bug in the smart contract emptying their account would be enough to stop any serious companies.
Let me try to steel-man it, then: the "egg" may be taken to refer to the "eggs laid by chickens", in which case there necessarily was a chicken before the first chicken-laid egg.

And that's the best I can do. But it's silly, because that interpretation of the question has an extremely obvious answer, which implies that this is _not_ the intended meaning of the question -- if the structure of the question contains the required answer, then you wouldn't bother asking that question at all.

So we're right back at of course the bloody egg came first.

Anyone else want to take a shot?

I'm not suggesting OP does this, but I would have been very tempted to add an extra digit to the end of my account number on Amazon, to see if it got truncated. (If it did, you'd get your deposit, in theory..)
The stock-market valuations of the late 1990s were excessive, but the objectives of the actual companies were fairly reasonable. Trading... over the internet. Order your pet food... over the internet. Eventually many of these things actually happened, they just weren't done by the "first movers" who were represented in the stock market bubble.

What's happening now, in the cryptocurrency milieu, is more deranged. It's to the point that it's making technology itself seem like a joke.
The thing about the comedy business is that even if the comedians aren't necessarily politically aligned, they usually have a certain amount of base respect for each other because of how grueling it is to make it big and sustain success in that business. I know that Saget was very well respected in the industry among people whose opinions would matter to regular people.

Saget was particularly talented because his mind and his comedy act could not be more different from the father he played on Full House or the goof he played on America's Funniest Home Videos.

Seriously, go watch some of his shows. You will be absolutely SHOCKED at what Danny Tanner said.
This sounds like a dream to me. How can it happen with open source software (where anyone can build and modify the software freely)?
