Things like this happen, get escalated to the media, and it creates public awareness of the risks of hosting digital content only in the cloud on servers that you don't own and don't even pay for.

In other words, the next generation of normies will probably understand this because of people before them learning the hard way.
Or use the "I Don't Care About Cookies" extension or uBlock Origin's cookie notice filter list and (almost) never even look at a dialog again.
Ah yes, Mockingbird. Haven't read that in ages. Really good.
> And businesses can always get creative by improving productivity (via automation) to survive with rising labor costs. Those that cannot simply cease to exist, entire industries die out all the time.

This takes commerce as a given. Another outcome is that those that cannot cease to exist and are replaced by nothing, leading to more poverty. That has been a common failure mode of that policy.
Well they could at least give you a chance to download your own content first.
There are definitely significant economic changes - the turnaround time for discovery, patch, rollout is way tighter.

I suppose that could make a generalized kit much harder to sell. Once it's sold once you basically have to assume it'll be burned soon.

Time will tell.
I just did a quick look through the doc but it does not appear that they take into account that Dyson shell elements would try to radiate waste heat directionally to the north and south of their orbits as to avoid too much thrust from radiation that may alter their orbital paths or the paths of other Dyson shell elements.

The signal this would create to an outside observer I think would significantly change the heat signature and periodic changes, depending on our observation angle to the star.

This was helpful, thanks. I'm not the OP, but I once was scolded for posting a nitpick like the one being discussed here. I won't do it again, but I did feel like the OP that sometimes it is called for. I see your justification now and agree with it.
> most likely, just look at his success rate in terms of how many of his games did succeed.

I don't think you ca boil it to some formula like success rate. Journey got funding partly from the big critical success of some of those earlier ones.
And yet, we already have them. Smelting enough steel and moving earth (and forests, and wetland, and prairie, etc) to also add passenger rail to anywhere you could want to go in the sparsely populated rural states would not be a net positive. There are a dozen or so villages within an hour drive of me that each have less than 1000 people living in them. The damage of adding roads and cars is already done. What good would connecting and powering light rail trains between these villages do?
Who said the business can't fully fund itself? If the worker isn't making enough to survive, they have no reason to take the job. So, the condition you're describing does not exist, at least not in such a simple form.
And MySpace in 2003, Facebook and Flickr in 2004, the list goes on. Web 2.0 produced a lot of obviously compelling things very fast. The difference is that they weren’t really using “Web 2.0” as a selling point to consumers because users care about what they can do with it, not what it’s built on.
The benefits go beyond just curtailing address exhaustion. No NAT necessary. No need for DHCP to assign IP addresses in a LAN. IP scanning becoming infeasible due to 64-bit subnets. No more ARP spoofing with NDP+SEND. Etc etc.
Maybe you don't have a "we", but there are hundreds of groups of hackers collecting on various Discord servers who are just as invested in exploring the potentials of the future of technology as anyone from last century, and there are likely far more of them now than at any previous point in time.
Shouldn't there be an eventID regardless of type?
YouTube isn't a cloud storage service, let alone one a paid one. I'm not really sure what you'd expect them to do. If they lost access to their free Google drive I'd be more sympathetic.
Both of those things are true simultaneously. YouTube and other Google products are advised against for long term storage because Google's acting this way is entirely unacceptable. Until the latter can be fixed, the only real hedge a person has is to simply not rely entirely on Google for anything. That's just the reality of it.

Blame never rests on the user, either way. Google will always have far more power than the user.
Oh sure - malloc() returns a pointer to sequentially-addressable bytes, not a C array. So even if the size were greater than 0, it would prove nothing about C arrays.
Problem is, you may get ugly conflicts along the way which serve no purpose to the end goal, and have to be resolved more than once in different directions.

It's an abstraction inversion to be doing that. The system doesn't work with diffs and merges: that's just layering on top. The system contains snapshots, and so if you want to rearrange snapshots in a different order, that's the best abstraction layer to work at.

Ask HN: Use GPT-3 to make dogs talk while taking into account their mood?
The idea is to make your dog talk by having it wear a computer that uses GPT-3 like technology that takes as input what you say and how your dog is currently behaving to make up relevant replies.

Imagine having a conversation with your dog about politics in a way that takes into account the current mood and behavior of your dog.

Would this idea be feasible?
I think it depends on how narrow you define what a court case is. The number doesn't seem too high if you factor in traffic cases. But you're probably right on a narrower definition, that would be too high.
You are too brainwashed by git.:)

The bigger picture is that the project is trying to provide a better interface on top of the existing git data store. As someone who used darcs for a major project before Git dominated DVCS, there are much better user interfaces than what Git offers, and attempts to improve upon Git is a diversity to encourage.

Unlike picking your own text editor, a whole team has to agree about the choice of DVCS, making it harder to try new ones.

The beauty of a solution with a Git-compatible data store is it allows some people on the team to experiment with it while still collaborating with people using Git.
This was an interesting read. It’s been a while since I’ve read Naipaul but I remember his books fondly. I didn’t realize at first that Vidia was his name, or that this article was even about him.
This is one aspect of American culture that absolutely mystifies me. The need to "idiotproof" every potential angle of harm in society leads to a predictable outcome: a bunch of idiots that have never learned anything the hard way. It creates a feedback loop that creates a need for more stringent nannying by the government until personal agency is completely eroded.

It doesn't help that we are sending to college a lot of people who don't actually need it and won't profit by it.

The obsession with sending everyone to college was based on a correlation/causation mistake with college degrees and income levels.
Note the "inverse" and "normal" video keys.

"Normal" means white text on a DARK background. It's sad that it has taken the industry 30 years to remember that.
Youtube isn't "the cloud". It's an entertainment provider like TV, it's not really something you mistake for backup of your stuff.
This is a striking view of the big rivers. They keep the same order of magnitude of elevation for a very long distance.

Many, including Google and Apple, have publicized efforts to recruit from locations like Durham and Atlanta, where a broader range of diverse workers might be interested in living and where a number of HBCUs are located.

Sooooooo is google on one hand diversifying their workforce and calling it a positive, while on the other hand trying to maintain a wage gap and pay black employees less…? It almost kinda feels like redlining, doesn’t it?

There is an RFC for full Linux binary compatibility: https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/0...
I usually find it safe to assume that compiler folks are conscious of optimization opportunities and make pretty intelligent tradeoffs on that spectrum. This is one such case. There's a long history of bounds checking compilers. The first that I know of is bcc in the 80s, which had a 10x slowdown! Austin et al. [1] came along a few years later way back in '94 and improved things to a mere 2-5x slowdown. That's pretty much where things stood for the next two decades because pointer accesses are everywhere in C and register pressure is nothing to sneeze at. Moreover, changing pointer sizes breaks your ability to link external things that weren't compiled with the same flags, like the system libc. ABI compatibility is make-or-break for a C compiler. You can get around that by breaking up the metadata from the actual pointer (e.g. softbound), but the performance cost is still ~3-4x [2].

ASAN was notable because

1) it was very efficient. That initial 73% was utterly fantastic at the time.

2) It was production-usable (i.e. worked on big codebases)

3) With hardware support, the performance hit is often under 10%. HWAsan on modern platforms is low-cost enough to run it all the time.

And no, I'm saying that pretty much every nontrivial C program has UB, not that they're specifically memory unsafe.

The Rise and Fall and Rise of the Chemistry Set:

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-rise-and-f...

>> The Federal Hazardous Substances Labeling Act of 1960 required labels for toxic and dangerous substances, and chemistry set makers removed the alcohol lamps and acids from their kits. The Toy Safety Act of 1969 removed lead paint from toys but also took its toll on the sets. The creation of the Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1972 and the passing of the Toxic Substances Control Act in 1976 resulted in further limits on the contents of the kits. <<

This is similar to leaving your personal property contents in a storage locker / unit / container that you don't own.

Except it being digital, and given the storage isn't / never was being paid for, you're going to get that much less sympathy from the judicial system - entirely appropriately.

No, there's no legislative solution to something like this. The content owner has no standing and it's difficult to find an argument in favor of why they should.

Use services of companies you can trust, and or host your own content. If the content is important, pay for its hosting, because that's the rational thing to do, buy the service level to match the value of your content. That's the correct solution to this problem. You can't trust YouTube in that sort of use case and we don't need a giant new federal agency to make YouTube host videos long-term against their will, it's absurd. Hosting those videos on Hetzner or DigitalOcean or similar would be inexpensive for a small business (or use a paid video hosting service, I'm sure there are several of those around).

The content owner likely wanted to use YouTube because it's free. That turned out as one might expect.
Mea Culpa I'm in the industry. I knew we should have had backups. She is brilliant but not technical and while the backups would have been expensive and difficult due to size, I should have built multiple NAS and distributed them geographically and used Syncthing to keep them updated.

To be clear we were legacy G-suite users and have converted to paying customers, so it was a free service while this happened, and is a paid service (I guess is youtube part of that?) now.

I just assumed if there was a problem we could youtube-dl everything, it didn't occur to me that control of the account would be suspended arbitrarily with no recourse for literally no reason. Despite reading about similar things here for years.

I guess I just thought those were lightning strikes, and I was focusing my time outside of work on the new SPA rollout we were working on for the company. I understand excuses like armpits are something we all have and they all smell, so I'll just say I fucked up and own it.

I appreciate all the advice and I understand why you are all saying what you are saying.

This was spur of the moment post (I didn't think it through) and I hadn't updated my contact information on my profile. I've done so now.

Thanks.
Newsflash: the fitness function still makes models more fit!

>The damage of adding roads and cars is already done.

No.

We build millions of cars every year, they still consume fuel everyday, they still have to be repaired, they still crash and kill a lot more often than any mean of public transportation.

A few farmers using cars is not a problem, but cities like Austin needing that many cars is outrageous.
>At some point the FDA didn't exist and we decided to create it to regulate an industry.

FDA, youtube edition: alphabet is the only company approved to host videos for public consumption, because they're the only one that has an approved copyright/hate speech filter (regulated for safety, efficacy, ADA compliance, and to be non-discriminatory). All other sites are prohibited from operating unless they spend $5B to get their systems approved.
> Epic wants it known that they're a great place to work.

Ironically, every engineer I know would drop a $150,000/yr Epic contract to work for half the salary at Valve. You're right, though: the war is about to begin, and it's going to be very entertaining from an outsiders perspective.
Because freedom is defined for the thing being licensed, it's not a human centric freedom of "I can do what I want with it."

It's from the perspective of, for example, the Software saying "I'm always free and never beholden to someone else's whims."
What could possibly go wrong with the government policing content stored by a private company?

It’s a little late now. But the answer was for her to backup her videos on $60 USB hard drive and pay a service like Backblaze.

Comparing an agency that is there to make sure people don’t die from bad food and drugs to wanting a government agency to regulate third party content storage that can easily be backed up is nonsensical.
It may be useless overhead in a high performance system (e.g. game engine) but is probably mandatory for distributed systems.

another way that word is commonly used is to indicate the person who has a responsibility; the one who is tasked with handling a situation. ie "who is responsible for cleaning up this mess?"

I take it that's what was meant by the notion that you're responsible for everything that happens to you. In this case it has nothing to do with praise or blame. Rather, it means that whether something happened to you by chance or through your own fault, the onus to clean up the mess falls upon you.
Yeah, exactly. There is overhead simply because of the (necessary) cross-communication at that scale, and there's overhead from legacy support, but here's a thought experiment. Imagine that you've built the most perfect system from scratch that you can think of. Fast forward five years, and the business has pivoted so many times that system is doing all sorts of stuff it just wasn't designed for, and it's creaky and old. It just doesn't fit right anymore and even you want to throw it away and build a new one. So you form a tiger team full of the smartest people you know to greenfield build a new one, from scratch, but that's gonna take two years to write. (You think, hey, maybe we could just take this open source thing and adapt it to our purposes. To which I say, where do you think large open source projects come from‽)

How do you bridge the two systems? You build an interim system. But customers want new features, so those features need to be done twice (bridge+new) if you're lucky, three times (existing+interim+new) if not. Could a smaller team of 10x engineers come in and do better? First off, thanks for insulting all of us, as if none of us are 10x-ers. But no. There's simply not enough hours in the day.

We've all heard of large IT projects that failed to land and said "of course". But we don't hear about the huge ones that do. And plenty of them do land, quite succesfully, with these 200+ person teams where I, as an SRE, don't know the code for the system I'm supporting.

None of this is visible from the outside.
Is it really that hard to imagine having microcode in the cpu or another separate processor implementing a timer that requires proof of continuing subscription via a new certificate being uploaded to it or else it does something like lock the main processor to a max speed of 200mhz?
A friend of mine had a similar problem in Google maps.

He’d spent years adding photos and reviews and his photo views were in the millions, then Google flagged him as doing something that violated their terms.

Within a week his whole account had been taken down and there’s no way to speak to a human about what happened.

Never even received confirmation of which post was in violation and what the issue was.

How did we get to a situation where the people that spend the most time using the platforms end up losing the most and having no way of getting support.

If you find dieting difficult because you get hungry, look at the keto diet, which reduces hunger.

When you eat carbs your body turns them to sugar because that's all it can do with it. Then your pancreas notices there is too much sugar in your body and tells it to store it in the fat cells for later use as energy. When the sugar is cleared out of your body, you become hungry again. This process only takes a couple of hours which is why people who eat carbs get hungry between meals.

Instead, eat healthy fats. They don't cause your sugar levels to spike so they don't cause you to have that sugar crash and hungry feeling. You can remain feeling full for 8 hours on fat.

Of course you also need proteins so make sure you get enough. Proteins do cause your sugar levels to go up some, but no where near as much as carbs do so they don't cause a crash either.

There are systems that automatically deliver insulin, but I don’t know of anything that automatically delivers glucose. That would be convenient.
It's just one of those memes on the net, I'm sure GP meant no harm at this time. Do a google for it, it's everywhere. We have all been bitten by it.
Your phrasing makes me think if I'm just too brainwashed by git as well, but, yeah, I wouldn't want anything to be added by default at all. While working I do all kinds of stuff I'm not going to commit, like debug statements and rough sketches, maybe some temporary scripts. And even though I do usually glance over diffs in the end, I don't really read them: that is, even if I did, it's not really my thoughts I see on the screen at that point, I'm as likely to notice mistakes there as I am in somebody else's code, if not less.

When I'm adding a change, on the contrary, it's something I wrote minutes to seconds ago, I know what's in that code, and by adding that I'm kind of making a statement that this wasn't some random bullshit I do with the code, but something I intend to keep (even if later I'll completely change that while interactively rebasing or something like that).

On the other hand, I didn't complain that much back in the day when I was using SVN. But I feel like my current workflow that employs most unique features of git is actually much better. Basically, horribly inconsistent CLI is the only complaint I have about git.
Moreover they resulted in a great deal of looting (and, eventually, trade).
This was my thinking as well, it's safer to never delete data and simply null route requests to it. It's what I've done in the past when I was on their side of the ethernet cable.

The philosophical stance of GPL is freedom at the individual human level - the only thing that actually matters if you are part of mankind. Yes, a society where you cannot "choose" to be enslaved is semantically less free than one where you can, but hopefully everyone agrees that for definitions of "freedom" which matter for human beings, the first society is a better choice.
"Getting objects out of a directory services is what JNDI is all about, I'm hesitant to call it a bug."

I didn't call it a bug. I called it a bit of functionality that makes the security problem possible. There are many things that result in security issues that come from some programmer making something just too darned convenient, but are otherwise "features", not some mistake or something.

It's the underlying problem. You should have to declare what classes are able to be deserialized. To the extent that it's inconvenient, well, so was the log4j issue.
The Timex-Sinclair 1000 wasn't a version of the Spectrum -- it was instead a version of Sinclair's previous machine, the ZX-81. The 2068 was the Spectrum-based machine. The ZX-81/TS 1000 was B&W and had no graphics (other than what could be created by special characters). The Spectrum/TS 2068 had color and graphics.

YouTube has never promised or implied your videos that are on their servers for free would be there forever.
I'm not sure. We have distributed systems of this type at $JOB and a correlation ID that is generated on user action and attached to every event in the chain (regardless of service) is plenty. I don't think we've ever needed to look at anything so specifically that a unique event ID for each event would have been helpful.
Yes, Quebec was disconnected from France for centuries. Totally agree with that.

However, a European way of living in Quebec? Not sure, I agree with that. Sure, there are more bakeries than in neighboring Ontario, but it pretty much stops there.
I have a tandem pump. The problem I see is that you still have to wait an hour for the insulin to take affect. And like you say, it’s based on CGM data which is not always accurate enough. Perhaps in the future there will be implants that deliver insulin in a more direct route, such as intravenous or intramuscular. That would also make an overdose more dangerous, though.
