This case was about users public profiles. LinkedIn makes users profiles accessible to the Googlebot and other public visitors without the need to login. There was an additional wrinkle in that HiQ actually had a commercial agreement with LinkedIn for some time that explicitly allowed them to scrape. They were arguing that canceling this agreement was anticompetitive and would destroy their entire business. Because of that pre-existing agreement, they likely didn't dwell on the distinction of public or private as they already set the precedent of signing up to an agreement that authorized them in the past, so they can't now say they never needed one in the first place.

no. by using GPL code in your software, you are telling the users that. if you use MIT instead, no one cares and you can use the code anyway you like.

using GPL code REQUIRES COMPLIANCE, that is the only way to ensure the four freedoms. if you are not okay with that, like famously google is, they simply ban AGPL/GPL software from their organization and everyone is fine with that also.
Ill definitely give that a go. I feel like I NEED to learn Lisp. My college data structures prof had his own book where all the java examples had a lisp counterpart.

He wouldn’t allow us to use normal Java data structures for assignments rather a lisp data structure called “cons”.

Not sure how different elisp and lisp is but syntax wise they look identical to me.
On the contrary of the contrary :)

That's why I said "look like." Sometimes good tools look good, and sometimes they don't.

For computers these days, especially true. It may have been true that the aesthetics of a Mac strongly correlated with quality, but that's far from certain now.
But this is the comment I was responding to:

" I think it would be fine if my taxes were helping others to start out. "

so that poster was saying having his taxes jacked up to help someone out is 'ok with them', and yet he has the power to help others out already - without the law forcing him/her to do it - he obviously thinks he can afford it, and is in favor of it - but he is not going to do it without the law requiring him to - i.e. he is virtue signaling.

as usual, "someone should do something", once again really means "someone else should do something"
I did not order the list of effects by importance or impact, I ordered them by what came to mind while I was typing.

I touched on low to the ground aggro decks in the very next paragraph, and I agree that's probably the biggest issue.

However aggro decks becoming more powerful does not mean control decks cannot also become more powerful. Decks aren't a one dimensional plot of aggro to control with midrange in the middle. (though to be fair I did say "on the other end of the spectrum" in my initial post)

When I say higher mana value cards are more playable, I mean in the sense that they can be cast "on curve" much more often, because if you want to cast a 7 drop on turn 7 without ramp you can choose do so, while with a normal deck you might expect to hit 7 mana between turns 8 and 11. (Not a hard calc, just a gut check)

If you have to answer your opponents' threats 1-1 early you can refill with answers, and if you get ahead with 2-1s or 3-1s you can keep drawing land to play your expensive threat on curve.
It's so pervasive that you can't even have an anti-censorship opinions on Reddit without getting lumped in with the alt-right and banned from subreddits. The nuance of "I disagree with you but defend your right to say it" is dying a painful death. Defend free speech and get accused of being alt-right or wanting to say the n-word.

Another thing dying is the defense of protests. I made a couple comments in popular Canadian subreddits about the truckers and was banned from a few for saying "protest isn't meant to make people feel happy and if the protestors don't make you feel uncomfortable you either agree with them or they're not doing their job". I got banned from one with the reason being "be gone nazi scum go try parler".

That’s a lazy argument from ignorance, and can be dismissed out of hand by Hitchens’s Razor.

Stallman views sharing of source code as imperative, so the idea that you wouldn't use the GPL is anathema to him. He claims that it protects users, but this leaves out the people who spend the time and effort to develop that software product.

At that point, you're back to traditional copyright and other less restrictive schemes.
Mastodon was at one point a rewrite of GNU social in Ruby/Rails and I urged Eugen to at least change the license to AGPL to match.

Identi.ca was a lot of fun, but it was basically a silo. I’m glad to see Mastodon having lots of servers but I feel like Mastodon.social runs the risk of being seen as the only instance that matters to many.

Bubbles don't form because investors look too far in the future, bubbles form because investing turns into speculation and people stop evaluating value at all and just have a case of FOMO. At that point most speculators are buying with intent to flip in a short time period. On top of that, bubbles often carry high leverage, so its not like you lose what you have, you lose what you have and then also go into massive debt(person buys $1m house with 50k down and it goes underwater, or person uses 10x leverage to trade options on tech companies and they tank).

Sure, the people that are able to cling on and wait it out for 2 decades might say 'this wasn't so bad after all!' but the people who lost their jobs or lost their families, went into bankruptcy, etc...well...you won't hear from those very often and if you do, you'll probably just say 'better luck next time'.
It always comes back to whataboutism with you people, doesn't it? As if the previous actions of western countries justifies the top down strategy of ethnic cleansing, the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure, the torture, rape, and murder of civilians that Russian government is pursuing RIGHT NOW and has pursued in every conflict it's been involved in. This is a deliberate strategy that no western nation uses, there is no comparison to be drawn, and trying to pretend otherwise is defending the indefensible.

You can still have an RCT with self-reported data. The issue being that self-reported is not always accurate.
Interesting... lots of devices (industrial control, PBXs, even smart thermostats, etc.) have debug Tx/Rx pins with no authentication at all.

We have very small ESP32 boards so plug those in, find a power pin (most controllers will have a 5v/3.3v with headroom enough for esp32 to work) and bam, you're in.

Reminds me of the Raspberry Pi in a thermostat episode from Mr. Robot (but that needed a lot more power and was physically larger)

Do you have any sources that indicate anti-censorship is “hugely unpopular” with the mainstream intellectual community? For example, esteemed scientists speaking out against it?

It may be important here to separate journalists and political activists from the intellectual community. Not to say that they aren’t intellectuals, but the issue could be limited to that set of intellectuals in particular.
> So by this logic there is no way to not brick devices when a company shuts down

Uh, don't make the device phone home? Make the phone home optional? Don't put software in it in the first place? There are many ways for devices to continue working long after the manufacturer is dead and forgotten.

Something has become clear to me: Since the IoT industry refuses to regulate itself, we need environmental legislation to regulate this industry.
I am fully aware of ukrainian nationalists. During II world war and after Ukrainian Insurgent Army has committed genocide on polish civilians killing 50 - 60 thousand.

But you need to distinguish. If refugees are knocking to my door I won't say: "You are Nazis". If Ukraine is defending against invasion, I will advocate for sending weapons. And so on.

You fundamentally misunderstand and misrepresent what is commonly meant by "general purpose." General purpose is not merely a set of specific purposes that a lot of people are into. General purpose means I can freely change it if I want to.
> I would like to track what the requirements/specifications are, and how we'll test to make sure they're met

Why? Why would you like that? Why you?

If it's not happening, the business doesn't care. Your company is clearly not in a tightly regulated industry. What does the business care about? Better to focus on that instead of struggling to become a QA engineer when the company didn't hire you for that.

Generally, if the team wants to start caring about that, agree to:

1. noting whatever needs to be tested in your tracker

2. writing tests for those things alongside the code changes

3. having code reviews include checking that the right tests were added, too

4. bonus points for making sure code coverage never drops (so no new untested code was introduced)
RIA Novosti is a state propaganda outlet.

Correction - what is happening is not an "invasion", it's war. War, plain and simple.

I still don't, I'm afraid. I don't know which "point" you mean, having listed several, and I don't know what "take the trial into semantics" means.

> The CNN switchers were also, as Bloomberg’s Matthew Yglesias reported, 10 points less likely to believe that Joe Biden supporters were happy when police officers get shot, and 11 points less likely to believe that it is “more important for the President to focus on violent protests than the coronavirus pandemic”.

> In addition the CNN viewers were 13 points less likely than the Fox News viewers to agree that: “If Joe Biden is elected President, we’ll see many more police get shot by Black Lives Matter activists.”

I don't regularly read political stories nor the Guardian. What do they mean by 'points' here? Are they percentage points (and what are their absolute values) or something else? Basically how significant are these quantities?
One of the big reasons for going with Deno is that it's an open runtime closely based on web standards. You can download the open source Deno Cli and all code written for our edge layer will run exactly the same there.

As more and more front-end frameworks starts leaning in on running part of their code at the edge, we felt it was important to champion and open, portable runtime for this layer vs a proprietary runtime tied to a specific platform.
And then the people who profited in the interim buy up all of the cheap surplus, sit on it for a few years and then trickle it back out as the prices return to normal, making massive returns on their investment, profiting off of the misery they created in the first place.

And you can't even be mad at them for it because there's no collusion, no intent to manufacture the disaster, no single person responsible for it all, this is just the consequence of economic torture by a hundred thousand cuts. Their hands are clean even though the damage is still done.
Low / zero downtime is totally achievable with pg_logical and really boils down to whether or not you want to try to adopt bi-directional writes (and conflict management / integrity issues), or if you're willing to just have a brief session termination event and swapover. To me, the latter has generally been preferable as conflict management systems tend to be more complicated in reality (based on business logic / state) than what pg_logcical provides. Interested if people here have had success with bi-directional writes though.

One of the biggest thing that keeping audit records in your DB gives you is transactionality around your audit logs. Sending audit events to an external system (quite often) loses this, and the resources to address this before you have to are way larger than a slightly larger AWS/GCP/Azure/<insert-computer-provider-here> bill.

I agree about WASM. I am sort of worried that Deno may be too late tbh. Why would I bother with an interpreted language at all when I can code in any language I want and run it anywhere with WASM?
At least the big public display of this tech seems to me that it's mostly merging photos in interesting ways. That the 'seed' comes from a word is not hugely interesting to me.

I'm actually more curious if we could parse the underlying logic that ultimately it emulates to merge those images together.

It 'looks like' something kind of sophisticated is being modelled with AI but there's some nice algorithms hidden in there.
> I don't think you really want a world where the security services

Well said, and excellent point. But I would like to live in a world
where security services could professionally, and in good faith,
advise other public servants, who would professionally, and in good
faith heed that advice. As I understand it that fits the actual job
description for all parties.

A world in which public servants are adversaries, in which intra- and
inter-institutional trust has totally broken down seems to be the
fruits of the misadventure, over-reach and disrespect for the Rule of
Law in all quarters.

It's a notch worse but it has very little noticeable effect on ordinary Russians' lives.

That's actually more reasonable than what you'd get if you combine their inflation figures[1] with nominal GDP[2]. Eyeballing their inflation chart (actual figures are paywalled), it looks like we've been experiencing 9% inflation since 2000. Between Q1 2000 and Q1 2020, nominal GDP per capita went up 82% (ie. 1.822x), but 9% growth for 20 year works out to be 460% growth (ie. 5.604x). In other words, the economy contracted by 67% in real terms. Maybe they realized that's too ridiculous even for conspiracy theorists, and revised their figures accordingly?

Simple feildbusses with a hub are definitely the way to do this. Eventually you can replace the hub with something better without having to rewire the building.
The problem with housing is not technical - it's the people want their house to go up in value as much as possible. The easiest way to accomplish that is to limit supply as much as possible.

If you already have a housing shortage and >67% of the country hell-bent on making the shortage worse - technology is not going to solve the problem.
It’s not about repeat heart attacks. The study was in heart failure patients. The main issue is preventing events like exacerbation of heart failure and sudden death.

I'm one of the Substack founders. My (obviously biased) view is that we are trying to do something that is genuinely important, and that we're willing to sweat the details in service of the people who use Substack. I'll try to give that quick barbell of lofty vision and practical details.

Big picture: we believe that what you read matters, and that therefore great writing (and great intellectual culture in general) is valuable. In our view the great promise of the internet is that it can unlock a flourishing of culture, but the first phase was dominated by a land-grab for attention which gave us the current landscape of ad-driven platforms which optimize for the wrong things and don't serve great writing. Substack is an attempt to create an alternate universe on the internet, with different laws of physics, that fulfills the original promise. Where writers can make real money by earning and keeping the trust of an audience who deeply values their work. Where readers can take back their mind, and decide for themselves who to trust and how to spend their attention.

Practical terms: we try to focus really hard on serving the people that use Substack. The writers, obviously, by giving them something that genuinely works. I think of this as "we do everything for you except the hard part". Which means if you can write something great, the job of the product is to handle the rest. This means not just the right features, but smart defaults everywhere that help you succeed. For readers, we try to make the experience very clean and frictionless, and communicate right from the get-go that this is a place that respects you and your attention, to the point that it might be worth paying for. The things others have noted - smart defaults, fast loading, clean design, etc. etc. are expressions of this. We're focused serving people, and we're not shy about using 'boring' technology (like email, for example) to make it happen.

Putting this together, the magic of the Substack model is not that it gives writers a way to get paid for doing the thing they might have done elsewhere. It creates a system where the kind of thing you do to succeed is qualitatively different and better than what succeeds elsewhere. For writers, that can mean getting paid -- sometimes very handsomely -- to do the work you actually believe in. It can unlock this for people who weren't professional writers before. And for readers, it means a lot of the best writing to be found anywhere is on Substack.

That's the theory at least! We're hiring, by the way: https://substack.com/jobs

You can easily generate the il-opcodes.h based on the constant names that were used.

CONV_OVF_I1_UN -> lower case -> conv_ovf_i1_un -> . -> convv.ovf.i1.un

Those opcode numbers are just an auto incremented number.
