I know they are higher in relative terms, but are they higher in absolute terms? I live in a single-family house in SoCal and pay over $12k/year in property taxes.

It would actually probably count as a derivative work under US copyright law. (Don't misread me: I do not endorse, condone, or make excuses for US copyright law. I'm just describing it).

edit: Here's an example,

- "In so doing, the magistrate judge agreed with plaintiffs’ assertion that the solution manuals sold by defendant qualified as “derivative works” under the Copyright Act. As in Pavlica v. Behr and Addison-Wesley Publ’g Co. v. Brown, defendant’s manuals complemented plaintiffs’ 187 copyrighted textbooks, had no “independent economic value” and were “meaningless’ without the textbooks because they merely provided answers to questions posed in the textbooks."

Emacs is more widely used today than ever before. There are more high quality packages being produced by the community today than I ever remember it being the case.

It's only when you stop looking at growing absolute user numbers and instead get into percentage, is when you reach a conclusion like Emacs is struggling to stay relevant. That's like saying Lamborghini is struggling to stay relevant because of Toyota or something.

I actually did have a check for AWS keys earlier today, but as far as I can tell all the AWS keys with well defined prefixes are key IDs and not true secrets. It will still pick up AWS keys with the random string detection.
Kudos! Sounds like a novel concept for newer trends gravitating back again towards SSR at "The Edge"©

I remember using typicode/lowdb in a past life and wondering why it had to have an ad-hoc ORM-like API when good ol' data structures would do just fine?

Nothing against Svelte (actually the opposite), but maybe showcasing a simplified code snippet in the landing page and make it more framework-agnostic might draw more brains

On the other hand, there might be a chance to showcase specific examples of more trending SSR frameworks such as Remix and Next.js. As far as I can tell direct DB access might make more sense on the server-side (LoaderFunction & getServerSideProps respectively)

Great craft!

5000 series Zen 3 has on desktop. Zen 3 based 6000 series laptops with RDNA2 graphics are still newish and a little difficult to get. Even from tier-1 brands.

AMD was also a little late to getting Linux support into these computers. 5.17 (released a few weeks ago and is what Fedora 36 will release with) just got support into the Ethernet driver.

Mobile Alder Lake just launched (in Feb?). Don't confuse the desktop with the mobile variants-especially when you are considering driver support.
Thanks Vivek for responding. Speaking as one of the maintainers of SymPy (who received the DCMA takedown request by email) I would like to note some points:

1. If you do a web search for "HackerRank DMCA" you will find similar examples of this that have happened in the past (with exactly the same text).

2. The text of the request is not in any way designed to enable a reasonable response. No detail is given about what the infringing content is so there is no way to comply.

3. It is also clear from this and previous cases that whatever process is used to identify potential targets for DMCA yields false positives and no reasonable judgement seems to be applied in whether or not to issue a takedown request.

I also think that GitHub's processes are faulty here:

1. We were given one business day to reply. I replied within 2hrs to say that the request was obviously spam and then sought legal advice. The repo (and website) were shut down before we could get legal advice. One day is nowhere near enough time. The request came in on Thursday night (UK time) and in the UK both Friday and Monday are public holidays this weekend. I don't even know what one "business day" means in this situation.

2. GitHub gives some guidance for how to submit a counter claim but none of the information is applicable to a case like this where so little information is given that is simultaneously impossible to comply with the request and impossible to dispute it. If GitHub makes it this easy to spam DMCA requests then they should also provide some guidance for how to deal with spam requests.

I wonder if the FSF or someone else can come up with a good template response to DMCA requests that just don't have enough information in them. If the request doesn't even explain how you could comply then it should be possible to respond to that in a blanket fashion.
I understand the global economic climate and competition hasn't been great but I also feel like Netflix's original programming quality has dropped significantly too. Remember early seasons of Narcos, House of Cards,...? compared to the later seasons of the same shows or even new shows? I remember reading somewhere that the average IMDB scores of Netflix's original stuff have dropped too.
If this was the page that triggered the takedown, any copying was probably in the reverse direction (that is, the HackerRank material copied something from the documentation, which is legal, and their idiot copyright enforcer doesn't understand that).
Median duration of home ownership is 13 years - only need them to do one remodel and we basically hit the proposed numbers.

This is a misunderstanding of the case, as rayiner’s comment in that thread attests. That code was not the only code that was copied, there were also tens of thousands of lines of interface code that were the same. The case rested on whether the interface code was copyrightable. Oracle used that smaller sample as evidence that Google had copied carelessly from copyrighted material.
The root cause of high real estate prices are low interest rates. There is always a correlation between those two.
I do wonder if the conflicts are truly fundamental, or whether they could largely be engineered around at a practical level (without abolishing any existing states).

Put another way, is it a philosophical or a practical problem?

Seems a lot of the problems can be reduced in severity if citizenship (your primary link to national sovereignty and its corresponding benefits and obligations) and country of residence are separable concepts.

It seems like the Schengen Agreement is a (limited) example of a system that allows freedom of movement while retaining national sovereignty.

It's not the whole world though, and I don't really know how the issues you raised are being addressed. After a brief bit of research (I am NOT an expert) it looks like:

> It's impossible to run any kind of social safety net

Welfare remains complicated (as it always seems to be everywhere at all times...); by default you'd be covered by your home country which will probably not pay you unemployment if you move overseas. However, there might be bi-lateral agreements in place between countries to "cover" each other's citizens. Seems fair.

> Democracy becomes impossible ...

You vote in your home country, unless you go through the citizenship process of your host country.

> Finally uncontrolled immigration economically crushes the native population by suppressing wages

Probably, yeah. Very long term, hopefully we'd see more similar development levels world-wide and this could become less of a problem.

You could also phase it in over a few decades, and/or have a growing "free movement" zones between areas.

> There's also the cultural and racial dilution thing

Yeah not sure about that one.

> EDIT: I can't respond to you because my posts are throttled, but how does this work with your children?

Well, first of all the can is kicked down the road by 20 years, which is beyond most politician's threshold of patience and avoids the worst immediate abuses ;)

But I can speak to this directly because this is actually my situation! My family is resident in Australia. But I am a New Zealander, I can live and work here but I can't vote or claim welfare and am not a citizen. My kids (who were born here) are actually New Zealanders until age 10 at which point they can apply to become Australian citizens.

From my perspective, my kids are Australians! They're not any different than anyone else born here, they grew up in the culture, reflect local values, and are the product of a similar level of educational investment as other Australians.

I admit that I'm biased, but I don't see that it causes a lot of problems.

In general it seems possible to retain the concept that countries decide who gets to be a citizen - it might not be automatic by birth, and parents would need to weigh up the rules when choosing a host country.

People didn't move as individuals without group protection. Historically you typically moved with the group/tribe. Historically one did not leave the group to escape things that have modern definitions but did not historically. Historically there was outcasting, banishing, exiling etc., which was a punishment knowing those people would be in a precarious position to survive outside the tribe.

RE learning math: you might want to check out some of my (non-free) books on MECH+CALC https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmathphys_v5_pr... and LINEAR ALGEBRA https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSLA_v2_preview.... They are written especially with adult readers in mind.

RE schedule to keep you going: I've had some students use the concept maps as a "world map" (like the stage map in Mario World) and check off boxes as you progress through them (each concept corresponds to roughly one section). See https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/math_and_physic... and https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/linear_algebra_... I guess you could time-box these and do N of sections each week to make this into a schedule. Make sure you dedicate lots of time for the exercises/problems, because that's when the real learning happens...

Each issue can be from a 1 line fix to a week or even 2 week thing. But by that point, probably a metaissue that corresponds to other issues or issue with inline subtasks (GitHub has check boxes).

Features cut across code, so no 1-1 mapping with classes. Tests are generally self-documenting and land alongside the feature they are for. You can document them, but likely either a comment in the issue/PR if technically interesting, or in a separate ~wiki doc as part of a broader specification.

Ideally each commit is valid & passes tests (see "conventional commits") and each issue/PR has accompanying tests whether around a new feature or bugfix. Particular test frameworks change every year.
Blazor Server and other HTML over the wire frameworks (Livewire, Hotwire, HTMX, etc.) are the new sweet spot for a lot of LoB web applications I think.

> It's a classic market failure

If you mean classic "free" market failure, then I would disagree. The housing market is replete with constraints that are imposed by government. I think it is more accurate to say that it is a classic regulatory failure (at least in some jurisdictions).

You're responding with your thoughts in ways that could seem calculated to inspire ire and to offend. Most folks don't consider that good-faith discussion.

I don't think you're doing it on purpose. But maybe you'll find more constructive responses if you more deeply consider the emotional charge of how you choose to put words together.

I agree that blacks get trouble from the cops but I'd use different language.

I'd say that black people have a stigma. I wouldn't say that white people have a privilege, at least if I didn't want those white people to vote Republican for the rest of their lives.

That is, if the right wing did a focus group to find the right word that would get white people to stop talking about race, they couldn't have picked a better one than "privilege".

95% of white people are not in the top 5% and frankly most of them feel like they have a lot less agency and a lot more responsibility than they like.
People complained about this release - seems like some people will complain about anything short of free - but I thought it was a pretty good value.
That is not technically correct. There is no definition "as soon as they receive it". In fact the law calls for "expeditiously or remove" access. Courts confirmed many times that days or weeks is considered expeditious.

Github could've easily take the time and wait for SymPy to file counter notice which then allows Github to keep the content up up until courts say otherwise. Github instead elected to remove content immediately. By their choice.
I hate you and your company and will make every effort to not support anyone who uses it in any form whats over.

How can you shitbags take down SymPy and then show up on HN to actually make light of it with your crapola comments while it remains taken down.
It really should at least be able to protest and prove some IP has been abandoned. Granted the law would have to be carefully written or it’d just be gamed and perverted.
I agree with you. And I'd be upset if Netflix was forcing ads down my throat. But a lot of people prefer that trade, and it would be stupid of Netflix to ignore it.

The original pre had issues. The slider mechanism developed play, the screen or plastic cracked close to the charging port, it was underpowered… the pre 2 however was nearly perfect. A bit too late though. A shame.

There are many far-flung unpopulated islands that are basically not governed by the country which has formal jurisdiction over the islands as well. But we know people are not looking for that --they are looking for a place where the scaffolding has already been built by someone else and they just have to graft on.
to reiterate on parents endorsement for agile and the point that you seem to be taking issue with: nothing in Agile says you can't run final acceptance tests or integration tests before shipping.

This is exactly right. I work in a highly regulated space, and we have been working in an Agile framework for awhile now. There are two iterations baked into every release cycle (at the end) for final regression testing. That cycle will re-run every test case generated during the program increment, plus additional test cases chosen based on areas of the application that were touched during development.

On top of final validation, we also have an acceptance validation team that runs full integration tests after final validation is complete.
Thanks for this comment, this was exactly the point I was trying to get across. I’m glad you found it helpful.
My (Australian) partner opens WFH group meetings with "hey guys", while working with mostly other women. Don't know any one that has taken offence to guys personally, either.
As far as I understand, at that time the science did not suggest that this was the best path - at the time the science was inconclusive with reasonable support for both aerosol and droplet options; and the blocked videos had just as much, just as good scientific basis as the official position. They were blocked purely because of the WHO political decision to promote one option over the other, and that WHO decision did not have a proper scientific backing - and when that was challenged in public, the response was to block the scientific arguments which were valid and reasonable already at the time, and some time later turned out to be conclusive.

Furthermore, there was a long gap of many, many months between a scientific consensus that the WHO position was literally wrong and the changing of that position - and during that gap any blocking of these videos was not only without a scientific basis but even directly going against what science suggests.
So? Neither can the list of possible computer programs, yet CS studies them
Oscar, thank you for responding and I'm terribly sorry for the disruption this has caused. I should have taken this more seriously when it sprung up on HN the first time but for whatever reason we just fixed that problem and moved on. This is a serious one and we are working on a strategy that is sustainable.

Meanwhile, if we need to make a monetary contribution for your effort or anything more we could do to promote, what would be the best way to do it? If you'd like to send me an email to discuss further, I'm available at vivek at hackerrank

On the flip side, what do you think would happen to home ownership if the mortgage terms were set to be 1 year max? That ought to really lower the home prices, right?

My guess is most homes on the market would be bought by private equity firms and retirement funds. There are a lot of confounding factors; just changing mortgage terms is not sufficient.

We already have precedent for this kind of thing too, for patents. For example, the Mozilla Public License says this:

> If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate.
Good idea. It'd be great to see this in the US, along with very limited speculative (no intent to dwell-in) purchasing of second homes until the market for first-time home-owners (and the demand) shrinks dramatically.

The use of homes as gambling chips ("investments") has to be stopped. The economic and social costs are egregious, inhuman, self-destructive.
