Except that's not how bases work. The digits would be of the form e^n. See [1]. Since e is not an integer, its number system uses 3 symbols (0, 1, 2) as 3 is bigger than e. Thus, 20 = 2e^1 + 0e^0 = 5.43656...

I don't know about simplify. Subtracting 1 from the above would yield an irrational number. So certainly not useful for arithmetic. How about for mathematical proofs? Well, any integer above 3 is also irrational. Makes Taylor series annoying. Even mundane things like the factorial would not have a nice representation.

I hope there's some real consequence of DMCA abuse like this. I hope companies would announce HackerRank boycott in hiring process. There are better alternatives tbh
The Surprising Climate Cost of Graphite
I thought college was useless earlier in my career and the more experienced I become, the more I appreciate what I learned.

I don't think that's the same for all major-career pairings, but studying EE and CS, and a little bit of economics has many benefits to a career in the software industry.
I can understand your suspicion of Ken Paxton, but this is also part of a very high profile case involving dozens of states and literally hundreds of attorneys. And the precise nature of the claims will likely be still being litigated on ten years from now. So there's a lot of incentive to be accurate on the claims out of the gate.

That being said, I think it'd be great if all the material in the discovery process was available to the public. A company of Google's size has no excuse to operate in the dark.
> figure out a way where we can do things like randomizing questions but preserving the integrity of it to ensure a fair evaluation, etc

How does any of these have anything to do with copyright infringement in the context of DMCA takedown? Do you even own the copyright to the alleged leaked solution?
Everytime I read this kind of hyperbole, I install Brave and try to replicate my Firefox browsing experience and realize that Brave/Chrome extensions suck. Specifically none come close to replicating the functionality of:

Sure, that would be very doable.
> And FUCK me for not having the steel to just take my code off of GitHub. I am part of the problem.

as a user you literally are not the problem. the problem is the monopolization of technology by a small group of investors, which makes it nearly impossible for alternatives to rise.

why isn't a platform like Github part of the commons instead of a private, proprietary fiefdom? why is it instead the private property of, and part of the investment portfolio of, a person who says things like: "As the majority of hobbyists must be aware, most of you steal your software."
You don't have to be a lawyer to send a DMCA takedown.

Companies have historically gotten away with these reckless takedowns because the law just requires that "the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law." (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A)(v))[^1]

In a recent 9th Circuit case, Lenz v. Universal Music Corp[^2], the court held that Lenz could sue Universal Music for a bad faith takedown. Specifically, "failure to [consider fair use] raises a triable issue as to whether the copyright holder formed a subjective good faith belief that the use was not authorized by law."

However, proving that it was in bad faith could be tricky.

Caveat: IANAL

> Nobody who speaks (using the lips and tongue) Spanish as their only language will adopt it.

Your argument isn't cogent to me: it's an English word used in an English context. Your line of reasoning could be used to argue that "Anglo-Saxon"[1] is not a legitimate term because the Germanic tribes didn't use the term to refer to themselves.

1. The same goes for "German", "Chinese" or "Belter"
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard
Agreed, the analogy isn’t perfect but sufficient. I suppose one could extend Nozick’s arguments as justification for the current immigration system. Though I think doing so is a misreading, i.e., his position on the minimum state to protect the rights of individuals and that individuals should be to able to transact with anyone isn’t, at least in my view, a justification for mass immigration. Mass immigration is a collective action by governments not a transaction between individuals. Thus the government is larger than necessary and explicitly violating the rights of individual citizens.

You are using a third party to perform an action which at core is counter to how the Internet works, AND you are using the same third party who has acted in bad faith before and did exactly the same thing to another victim of yours, and now you're deflecting onto the third party? This is entirely on you at this point.
I don't use grammarly. Does grammarly tell you to correct "landlord" to "property owner"?
Starting off by calling yourself "highly intellectual" (with the strong implication that you are superior to your countrymen) is not a great position from which to win people over
Unpopular opinion: FOSS projects shouldn't bother hosting under US jurisdiction. There's absolutely no upside for a nonprofit, and our supercharged lawfare culture causes endless headaches for everyone -- even the most innocent software in the whole world, like a symbolic algebra library.

Yeah, exactly as predicted. It's always a matter of time before people put ads into everything because doing otherwise is leaving money on the table.

I understand that DEI offices are not appreciated by everyone, so it's easy to point to a particular salary as a waste if you don't value the service this office provides. Consider that rhetorically, I could make the same point you're making by digging up the org chart for the IT department, and claiming we could save so much money if we just got rid of this cost center. But here on HN we all know the intrinsic value of an IT department. It's hard to calculate a dollar value to prove that the IT budget is well spent, but we implicitly understand its purpose in the campus community.

If you don't understand the purpose of the DEI office, it's very easy to dismiss it as unnecessary or unwanted. But as I said in one of my other posts, universities are places where a highly diverse population comes together to achieve common goals, and while I painted a rosy picture in that post, the reality is that the process can be messy sometimes. The DEI office provides a valuable campus resource to navigate these situations. They provide learning resources, they hold events for students that are well-attended, and they provide a support network for students who are dealing with issues relating to their identity, among other things. I don't know much about Dania from UC Berkeley, but as far as our DEI office goes, it is staffed by highly qualified domain experts holding doctorate degrees, not bureaucrats. They are at the top of their field, and they come at a premium.

Again, I can understand if you're coming from corporate America you may not appreciate the concerns a typical university deals with regarding diversity of the campus population. But I just have to say, it strikes me that most of the criticism I hear regarding the DEI office comes from people who are outside of the academic community, and really have only take a cursory look into these offices and what role they play in the university community. I can't speak for all campuses, but at my institution, my coworkers and students and I appreciate the DEI office and the work they do to make campus a vibrant and compassionate environment.

> Universities are chock full of administrators like these that they never had prior and all of these departments

It's true that these administrators are new, but it's also true that the role universities play in civic life has expanded. More people than ever have access to universities, and DEI offices have been a response to that. It's not like the exist for lack of want. Going back to the IT analogy, universities used to not have IT departments but now they do. Does that mean we can go back to a simpler time without IT (think of how much we could shrink the budget!), or should we accept it's a new world and adapt?
Leaving your country should be a human right. Entering another one without their consent should not. Unfortunately there aren't any real unclaimed areas on the planet, so we are stuck with the current system.

Thanks for showing up here and replying. I can understand the net being cast too wide for a real problem you are trying to solve. It does have real consequences for already under-resourced communities, though.

I appreciate the "fix-it-twice" attitude implied by the RCA promise (Root Cause Analysis for those who also had to look it up). Also, consider recognition and restitution for the unnecessary work you created for the NumFOCUS director, a NumFOCUS lawyer, and the SymPy maintainers.

A $25k donation to NumFOCUS would be a good start.

If you are willing to talk about what happened publicly, I'm starting a podcast/video series to discuss business and open-source. This would make an interesting conversation. Perhaps we can turn this into a positive to raise awareness and inspire better behavior in the industry? Ping me.

Feel free to disagree again:
I think you’re either being unclear with your definition of enjoyment and love, or you are perhaps confused between the two.

Which isn’t to say you aren’t having positive feelings at your job, I think that’s possible and in general ideal.

Enjoyment out of spending more time the way you want to as opposed to the way others have dictated it be spent is very natural, I believe. But I have to draw the distinction between love and enjoyment.
Love (to me) is the expression of an idea from the soul, and the willingness to nurture this idea from the perspective of nature and harmony. There is a harmony in creating order (code, poetry, music), and there is a harmony in creating a roughness around which order and harmony form. (Clouds, fractals, abstract ideas, natural patterns) to experience this as the self with the world and with others in the world is how I believe love exists and comes to be.

When you’re paid for this process it diminishes love with the element of time, and space. You have to do it by so and so time, or there will be a material consequence. (Even if the time is very far away)

I don’t think that your labor of love becomes undone, but it’s something else. It’s enjoying the fruits of your labor, and that is not the same as laboring for love. Not to me at least.

I even would say you can enjoy making things others love. But for you yourself, it’s not possible.

And for me, in practical experience, I don’t get many who love what I do, and I don’t really enjoy the climate around me full of people doing nothing but stacking up money for no purpose.

I suppose my real gripe here is that I wish things were good or meaningful.

Now can we get driver support for older chipsets, please? What is the deal with taking a dump on the people that buy chipsets in order to use them to their advertised potential?
Thanks for that info I'll give it a try.

So often I try to update F-Droid apps and the site isn't available or it takes forever to download updates.

It's not the F-Droid app either (i.e.: not an old version etc.) because I experience the same delay using Aurora Droid (which I didn't mention above), as you'd probably know it also accesses F-Droid's site.

I've often wondered if F-Droid's slowness is due to my location/time zone as I've found it fastest when the US and Europe are asleep. I'm in UTC+10 hrs.

Could be that I mostly access the site during hours when backups or maint is been done.
Possible solutions to affect some justice and reclaim your image:

1. Fire WorthIT Solutions (no RCA necessary, do not automate or outsource DMCA, even if it's human based automation)
2. Apologise to SymPy
3. Discuss internally the cost-vs-benefit (more than monetary) of embarking on copyright policing as part of your company's future strategy
4. Blog results of #3

WRT #3, sustainability comes to mind - if dissemination of solutions is a serious threat to your current business model/implementation (something you might want to validate anyway) then consider adapting to mitigate it to the point of irrelevance. Perhaps you are already doing this, but DMCA policing is at best a distraction and at worst a PR nightmare and menace to FOSS like today, it also doesn't scale well.
HackerRank and LeetCode are a scourge on our industry, for more reasons than this shitty behavior.
Istanbul is one of those amazing cities where the sheer density and richness of the history to be found there is almost hard to take in. Era stacked on era stacked on era, civilizations borrowing from each other's buildings, two thousand year old columns used as bus stops etc etc

I guess maybe Rome comes close but even then it doesn't have the sheer variety of Istanbul
You should think more about this before sharing it in public.
Nintendo has an FAQ about it on there website where even they admit it.
To ensure that they aren't liable to HackerRank for any infringing content, GitHub has to keep content down for at least 10 days after receiving a counter notification.

Do you plan to contact GitHub and give them a legally binding agreement to indemnify them for any infringement of HackerRank's copyright in the material they took down (I'm sure there is no such infringement, but by agreeing you won't sue GitHub for restoring the content, you effectively retract the notice and give them no reason to wait the 10 days)?

I think a sincere apology should include steps to urgently minimise the ongoing damage to the existing victims, not just analyse what went wrong to prevent hurting other victims.
Good software isn't significantly more valuable than mediocre software in many applications, provided the main job gets done.

Everything else is a downstream effect of that.
Longer range and better penetration means even more congestion in built-up areas. 2.4GHz is as low as you’d want to go in any application other than rural mansions.
Cardinality hasn’t much to do with it since there are uncountable sets which you may cover like that.

In-place editing is only good for private documents. For publicly viewable documents I absolutly want the edit-preview-edit-preview...publish steps.

Wrong. WiFi 7 has some cool stuff for location tracking.

From a previous post.
https://staceyoniot.com/the-next-big-wi-fi-standard-is-for-s...

You will see WiFi 7 rollout heavily in business due to its benefit for real time asset tracking. Think warehouses, hospitals, education campuses, industrial plants. Location based asset tracking in real time has a great ROI in these areas to name a few. Its gonna be awesome.
I literally said this in the comment above -- "That said, ultimately, we are accountable for this because it's our reputation is at stake."
This is still an asymmetric, unfair process. Automatic takedowns from bad faith actors are catered to left and right but you have to negotiate a bureaucracy with manual review to get restoration. The DMCA doesn't require this to receive safe harbor protection.

Provide a form where an up to date contact point can be submitted that you can forward to the plaintiff and then restore the content. It's that simple. They can deal with litigating the dispute from that point on and Github is not responsible.
> How about this: "There are lots of different types of families, and among those many types, there are ones where there are two moms or two dads, and that's okay".

“That’s okay” is non-neutral moral judgement that exceeds the teacher’s purview.

“People are different in many ways; in this classroom, we treat everyone with respect regardless of our differences” is a content-neutral restriction on speech that does not exceed a teacher’s purview.

> IANAL but according to this analysis [1], 'Classroom “instruction” could mean eliminating books with L.G.B.T.Q. characters or historical figures.

The law is not tied to any particular sexual orientation (or gender “identity”); if that analysis were true, the law would also eliminate books with straight characters or historical figures.

> The first part of this lesson is a simple fact, and the second part ("that's okay") is a value judgment, but given that gay marriage is legal …

“That’s legal” is a statement of fact; it’s very different than “that’s okay”.
Nothing dramatic. Look at China.

I do think that I am part of the problem.

Although there is no commons alternative, there is Sourcehut - run by a team that is dedicated to the principles of free software. I should be giving them the money that I spend on GitHub.

At the very least, I should be giving them more money than I give GitHub... I will do that immediately.
Yeah, it sucks. These corporations have already made their fortunes several times over. It makes no sense for stuff released 10 years ago to still be protected. It's pure greed and eternal rent seeking.
How about we just accept that the square root is a relation inatead of a function?
No you aren't. You are only sorry this made it to the front page of HN. Revoke the contract and stop with DMCA takedowns. Unless your company has invented brand new ways of solving common algorithms everything you are doing is most likely derivative work anyway.
Good distillation. Will follow-up with a blog post on this.
You can't copyright algorithmic code snippets. It's like trying to copyright math. You will have an insane amount of false positive from every repository that have ever implemented a prefix sum or binary search. (Or anything autocompleted using github copilot or alphacode which I believe is trained on competitive programming styled submissions from codeforces and atcoder)

The solution would be to build some sort of cheat detector and punish only the candidate. Don't take down and lose the goodwill of the entire programming community by abusing draconian laws.
It's also hard to create the second generation of copycats since you are in copy of a copy territory. I'll watch Ozark since its Joe brand Breaking Bad. But a copy of Ozark will probably suck.
> That kind of thinking usually stems from a dualistic perspective. I wanted to emphasize that. I find such extreme stances generally unhelpful and likely to turn out wrong again.

Author here. Bold stances make for better reading. Its fun to stake your reputation on a perspective you hold. Being bold and sometimes wrong is better on most metrics than never saying anything at all. The best way to optimize for "least likely to be wrong" is to never be noticed, or do anything notable. That sounds like a waste of a life to me.

I'm not optimizing for "least wrong". I'm optimizing for "most movement forward".

If I took your advice, perhaps I could have titled my article "CRDTs perform a bit better than I thought. I have a hypothesis that the choice-gradient should shift by a moderate amount toward CRDTs in situations where both OT and CRDTs would be appropriate." Yikes! I believe that if I said that, my article wouldn't have hit the front page at all. Let alone multiple times.

You may have preferred that article had you read it (though I roll to doubt even that). But I suspect you wouldn't have had that chance, because you would never have found it.

Of course reality is complicated. In this case, there is probably room for both OT and CRDT based systems. (Or even, CRDT based systems which provide an OT frontend). But making a new possibility for the future depends on a communicated vision. You can't communicate that vision if you bore everyone to death whenever you start talking.

I assume you are asking about this line:

> The US and Western Europe are violating the rights of their own citizens by allowing mass immigration.

I don't think GP was talking about Europeans invading America. Instead I think he was talking about two examples of immigration crises:

1. Immigrants crossing the US's southern border arriving in the United States

2. Immigrants from Eastern Europe arriving into Western Europe.

I believe GP is implying that immigrants don't pay their fair share for the house.
