Yeah whether you agree with him or not, it's pretty screwed up to think that individual artists can try tp impose their views on a platform like this. I think they should drop him, however I suppose theres the concern of a big group of artists coming and protesting, which would be even more screwed up.

I guess I'm of the old school, but I like musicians because of there music, not because of their politics and not because I think they're good people. I don't care if a musician ends up being a creep or racist or something, I care about the songs. And by the same token, I don't want musicians imposing their values on me, I don't see them as people to look up to or something, I like the music.

Same goes for actors or athletes or whatever. I couldn't care less what Bono thinks of Africa or Leonardo DiCaprio thinks about chinooks.
I wish we could be more rational about how we treat celebrities.

And as an addendum, the article makes me think less of Neil Young, but he's got some good songs, and I hadn't listened to him in years. I highly recommend "down by the river" - I love that kind of jam sound, and of course "southern man". Still available on spotify, I'm listening right now
Same, but for Teams.
Something similar happened at the CDN I work for about 10 years ago… a custom configuration we made for a customer had a typo in it (it was on the host matching regex… the regex had a trailing |, which caused it to match every host)… this caused every request for any customer to be sent to that one customer. It quickly overwhelmed their origin and caused an outage (the largest one we have ever had, before or since). We wrote a system that is still in place today that loads all new configurations and sends test traffic to it, to make sure the results are as we expect.

A couple years ago I had a user report a bug where they couldn't remove items from their cart. I couldn't reproduce it.

Hopped on a WebEx, and they were trying to add -1 of the item to their cart. I understood how they thought it could work, but can't recall a site where it actually worked that way.

It's not clear from this tweet but usually google drive only cares about shared files. Lots of people have copyrighted content in their private drives but until you make it public, it doesn't get flagged.
Meanwhile my Mom uses Google Drive to share pirated movies with family members (despite my protests) and is yet to have a single file flagged.

Just need to name your file something like "Output04.S01E01.NumberOne.1080p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta" and you'll be fine /s

How can they get things so wrong?
Not cost of implementation, I don't think. Maybe cost of "lost value of data and advertising they could collect".

Do you think it's more expensive to implement a few accessibility features their site had with little effort in the 90s, or to fight a case to the Supreme Court, as in the case of Domino's?

I don't think it's an issue of old vs. new music but the decline of pop music. People are just tired of the same boring rehashed pop music being pushed by the major record labels. Streaming services are making new artists from independent labels accessible and allowing younger people to rediscover older music.

Calling it an "internally developed macro language" is stretching it a little bit. It was an extremely simple blob of C++ code that scanned text looking for one of a very small number of known placeholders, and filled them in with the relevant value (session ID, user name, user email etc.) I suppose that over the years between 1996, the capabilities of catsubst may have been expanded somewhat, but certainly when it started there was no formal concept of it being a macro language. In fact, at the very beginning, we experimented with just using m4 (which is a formal macro language) but it wasn't quite right for the job.

Not going over Poland, as they may have special laws, but in general in the EU, it is ok if you are a EU citizen and open a company in another country within EU. If outside the EU many (each?) countries have a 'list' of some countries they consider 'low tax' and you are forced to be taxed at home (basically, they tax you like you are a local company and have to supply all paperwork to your country of residence).

The problem is when you want to pay yourself from that company, where in general, you have to register with the tax offices in both countries (company country and your residence country and then you may be able to pay more taxes on your home country depending on many things).

Not a tax attorney or the likes, but my cousin is and deals with a lot of this as she works with some small seed funds and helps them incorporate in other countries.

> Systems like this are designed to reach nearly peak performance

The system certainly is. The code running on that system generally isn't. Pulling 100% of the FLOPS the GPUs are able to provide is quite hard.

And my point was it also depends on the specific models you are training. Are you training a transformer model in FP32 precision? Then yes, 6K A100 will blow 10K V100. Are you training a ConvNet in FP16? Then no, 10K V100 will perform better.

The GPUs have different architecture, you have to use the architecture best suited for the A100 to achieve the speedup marketed by NVidia, which is presumably the number FB is using to claim that their 6k GPU cluster is bigger than OpenAI's 10K one.
That sentiment sure has a lot of potential for being a powerful thought terminating cliche for actual cults

This looks really cool, because there are so many different web technologies it's hard to know about and compare all of them.

However make sure to update this as there are plenty of tools you're still missing. e.g. no esbuild and vite, which personally I find way better (mainly faster) than webpack/snowpack/other bundlers.

Also maybe add a feature to compare some of the different technologies, because often I need a list of web stacks when I want to start a new project, to find which stack would make said project easiest.
This is why I generally do not use the BoardGameGeek rankings as an attribution to game quality. My gaming tastes are more nuanced than mathematical rankings.
Yeah, it's a weird argument. I've used vnet, but rarely need it. I bind my jails to their own IPs and that's that. That has been available from the very early days of jails.

> Bandwidth and storage only get cheaper, and copyright-able files are not getting proportionally larger.

We're already at the point where these costs are negligibly low. It takes more effort to think about the cost of transferring the text of a book over the internet than the actual cost of doing so. That's not what it's about.

> think of it like recording everything you see and hear and being able to instantly share those recordings with those around you.

If you're the one recording it, you are (in general) the copyright holder. If you're the copyright holder, you can choose to share it without charging anyone money or placing any restrictions on anything.

> We can already do this with a sentence or two of text or the gist of a melody! In the future it'll be a full book, or a song.

Let's say you're right. So now instead of taking a few days to read a book, it takes a few minutes or seconds. Great, now you can read more books. Which means each book gets read more times. Which means each reader doesn't have to pay as much in order for the author to make the same amount of money.

But if you set the price all the way to zero, how does the author make rent? And then where do the books come from?

If you want to find all the videos about a particular topic or person on YouTube, you can use Google.com and search for the topic or person. But the problem with this is that it will only give you results for those that are already related to the topic of your search. If you are looking for something not yet indexed by Google, then you can use the advanced search feature of YouTube.com. This will allow you to search through the video titles and descriptions and also through the video tags. If you want to search by a particular tag, then you can use the ‘site:youtube.com keyword’ command. http://www.likesplays.com/buy-youtube-likes/
> would you buy the same item if there was no 'get rich quick' label attached to it?

I participate in with NFTs no different than I participate with badges on gamified applications, so yes I would continue to interact with them. I would not rule out buying one either, no different than I wouldn't rule out buying a ticket, or rule out buying an in-game trinket for access. If an artist was releasing a work digitally that I liked, I would consider purchasing the NFT version as well. so of those categories the answer is yes.

I also don't mind selling, or reselling, in that form.

For things I wanted the option to resell, I don't mind if the market dries up. I'm fine waiting, or never getting a bid. Far easier to notice when a bid is available than with some consumer electronics or art pieces I have.

It is not possible for me to put a different higher standard on NFTs, as the similarities are too great to other consumptive goods. Anything NFT specific is either the same experience as something else, or better. Including with the authenticity aspect, I gain consensus over any specific NFT very quickly by checking with the artist or their community and double check the published contract addresses with the one I'm considering to interact with. And there are indeed times when I don't care. Its like if someone made a record of all the volume of prada knockoffs sold on the side of the street, all you see is the number of times people - the buyers - don't care. The NFT is just showing that record of consumer sentiment that has existed for a very long time.
And they say BSD users have attitude issues, lol.
Ownership attestation is a pretty common service. Law companies do the same thing for home titles during real estate purchases, and there's definitely more than one provider of that service!

> there is no value to anyone in having alternate trading platforms for these goods, all value is derived from being verified by a particular platform and baked into that platform

Some value is derived from being verified. People sell stolen merchandise and art all the time, albeit at a discount to actual price. And there's nothing intrinsic to that verification that requires Opensea.

If there were an equally trustworthy provider, or even a provider that offered better title insurance, why would people still use Opensea?

> there is no value in trading a Fortnite dance outside of Fortnite

And here's where I think the slightly interesting component is. Isn't there?

If Epic says "ownership of this digital thing gives you this other thing in game", imagine there are two ways to trade that digital thing: (1) within Epic's internal platform, or (2) on an open Blockchain.

Doesn't it stand to reason that (2) is a clearer ownership claim, with less control, and therefore more valuable? And if it's more valuable, then isn't Epic incentivized to sell their digital goods on Blockchain (and get better prices for them) than their internal platform?
...for now. It's a proprietary, centralised service, so there's pretty much _nothing_ stopping it from doing that in the future ("money left on the table" and all that).

As someone who really likes the idea of declarative system configuration and management, shares the vision of nix and guix, and have been dipping my toes by using nix package management on macos (and sharing most of the experiences mentioned upthread):

I do thank you for the pointer, and I think I've come across these videos before, _but_ to me, video is probably the last format I can assimilate this type of information. Usually, in my experience, well designed systems have a way of making sense so that documentation and understanding flows naturally from base abstractions, and this is something I miss in nix. I would like to try guix to see whether that makes more sense to me, but I am hesitant given that nix seems to have so much more of the mindshare.

One day I'll try to give the video tutorials a chance, maybe it will clear things up. Thanks again and thanks to mr Libbey as well.

> It really hasn't, and it boggles the mind how anyone could even attempt to gaslight about this well-documented topic.

Just as one example, CDC quietly changed the definition of vaccination from producing "immunity to a disease" to producing "protection from a disease". This happened in September when it became clear that covid vaccines do not provide immunity (compare https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/imz-basics.htm in August and September in web.archive.org).

I am sure you will find a reason why this is not gaslighting. For me it is a pure form of exactly that.

By the way, CDCs did categorically claim in April 2021 that the vaccinated cannot spread the virus ( https://mobile.twitter.com/FortuneMagazine/status/1377810547... ). This is false as we know today.

I am coming to this post kind of late, so not sure if others will see this, but actually this is something that Amazon policy has JUST changed on, effective as of Dec 31, 2021.

A few RSU related quality of life improvements:

- Before, the vesting policy only allowed for 2 weeks of gracetime if you took any form of leave of absence (and leaves being a wholly legally separate category from vacation or sick days); since parental leave was 6 weeks, that means that your vest schedule would delay by 4 weeks (which I can confirm, my vest dates went from May to June because of this)... From 2022 onwards, the gracetime has been extended to match the parental leave time, so there is no longer this weird 6-2=4 mismatch

- In the rare case an employee dies, their next 2 years worth of unvested RSUs, will automatically accelerate and vest immediately. These accelerated RSUs will vest to the deceased's estate, and the heirs of the estate will get them via the probate process (having a will massively simplifies this). The accelerated vesting cannot be transferred directly to a beneficiary, it has to go to the estate first.

- RSU vesting allows for a sell-to-cover option for tax withholding, but previously only whole numbers of shares could be sold (and the leftover after taxes, is paid to your paycheck direct deposit). Now going forward, you can sell fractional shares to cover tax withholding.

- (couple other minor QoL improvements, but those were the ones I could recall off the top of my head)

I doubt these policy changes were in any way tied to the reporting of these stories or the experiences of these employees, but the timing is somewhat ironic.

The NIH funds a huge fraction vast of biomedical research in the US. Pharma does important work too, but it’s largely concentrated in the very last stages of getting a product to market.

These COI disclosures also strike me as hard to interpret. It’s certainly possible that some of these people are deeply invested in a company and are pushing its particular therapy hard to buy a new boat or something. However, I’d bet many of them are $250 to participate in a focus group, or free conference registration to be in a panel. It’s important to know who’s buttering the authors’ bread, but it’d be helpful to know how much it’s being buttered too.

Now you're strawmaning on top of shifting goal posts again.

>As said, they do have STIGs and CIS documents for JunOS

No they don't. The CIS documents specifically outline the operating systems they support, and there are ZERO BSDs listed (click on Operating Systems)[0].

Similarly, there are zero STIGs for Junos OS. There are STIGs and CIS benchmarks for Juniper network devices, but not for Junos OS. The actual devices could be running on FreeDOS for all we care, but FreeDOS in and of itself would not be allowed to run on any servers. Hilariously, even Juniper is moving away from BSD. Junos OS Evolved is Linux based.

i’m going to answer you because you seem to be seeking external views on gaming.

personally i only play video games as an “escape”. what was shitty is that i was always just escaping something that had to be done by a certain time. it was my goto procrastination technique.

as i grew as a person, and spent less time lying and taking on too much, and more time on how i define me and what i actually care about, i quit playing most games.

but i didn’t stop the escapism totally, now i bike to escape the pressure i’ve put in myself to be my best. the biking helps me handle my problems as it gives me time to reflect.

frankly, if gaming gives you the space to decompress and reflect than it’s fundamentally a form of meditation, which is how i see my biking.

the real challenge is to figure out if you’re gaming to escape yourself or to explore yourself. if you’re doing it right, does it matter how you decompress?

I believe there is an exercise benefit to meditation in noisy environments, as one form of practice. Swamy Vivekananda preferred meditating in a room with loud street noise in his youth.
