Ok so this is to force the social media companies not to censor (someone is now going to tell me that censorship is only done by governments, no, it's just that the constitution only protects people from censorship by the government, you can be censored by your local paper if you try to send them an expletive filled wedding announcement for example)

Thus forcing them to carry things they don't want to carry, which obviously in this case is supposed to be things that the GOP approves of. Don't know how they will get to the next step of forcing them to remove left wing content, but I guess one thing at a time is the plan.

To answer your first point, I'm assuming 4 days a week presents itself as a good compromise between worker happiness and productivity given our level of technology and efficiency. Two or three days of work a week would be better for happiness, but our society isn't productive enough to reasonably manage it.

As for whether our society as a whole would be as productive, I would reckon that the increased consumption (especially on leisure), and the increased amount of innovation due to decreased supply of labour and free time for individuals would offset the 20% reduction in labour hours.

> The solution goes - Splunk is too expensive, let's ditch logs altogether and hope we capture some metrics and plot them in nice dashboards. Instead of dumping the logs highly compressed into cheap s3 and running some Snowflake or Spark on it later.

I don't usually promote on HN but this is exactly why we built https://axiom.co! We've been working on this problem for some time, essentially allowing schema-less/index-free ingest, S3-based storage in a highly-efficient format, and then querying with a Splunk-like (specifically Kusto-inspired) language via serverless functions.

We built it because we also realised we would avoid or think too much about logging (cost, scaling, retention, etc) which led to compromises either in our monitoring or later when we wanted to dive in and try and draw some insights/analytics from that kind of data.

Seems I missed the "Great Resignation". I've stayed at the same company for the last few years, making a mediocre salary because they let me take a "senior" role with fewer YEO and I'm buildings skills faster than if I'd started over at another company.

On the other hand, I know people who've moved for a significant raise to companies that are more sensitive to their stock performance, with less job security.

Nice post — one suggestion would be to use zstd instead of gzip though. Out of the box it is much faster and will result in smaller files, and allows tuning to fit inside memory and cpu thresholds different use cases might prefer.

The GP made sarcastic commentary about Google keeping and using this community-generated data to empower themselves. Your response was to belittle them and arrogantly claim that Google is releasing the data. You were then shown that Google is only releasing a small (as implied by "some") subset of data publicly, which makes the GP's claim mostly true.

But now for inexplicable reasons, instead of just apologizing to the GP for being rude, you're scrambling to apologize for a corporation whose entire existence is notoriously based around collecting, abusing and selling user data, while also brazenly colluding with all of the other big companies to accomplish that abuse.

And for the record, the "three" datasets you're attempting to nitpick -- again without doing any of your own research, but instead quoting some other comment -- are actually just three partial subsets of the same Open Images[1] dataset, which itself is one of many datasets. So, they've still only released (and intend to release) a small portion of the overall data.

Your only intent was to make someone on the internet feel stupid, when in reality they were mostly correct, and you are still mostly wrong. Your previous comment got flagged to death. Take the hint. Doubling down isn't productive.

You should be able to do this (although not immediately obvious) by:

- Opening Mail, Preferences, and going to the Privacy tab.
- Unchecking "protect mail activity"
- Checking "hide IP address"
- Checking "block all remote content"

Now you have automatic remote content loading disabled, and have private relay enabled. You would need to test this with a "friendly" bit of remote content to be certain, but it seems to work.

When doing this, also ensure you have limit IP tracking enabled on your ethernet or wifi network, as that appears to override this setting (based on the help content which is available in this tab).

> Liver inflammation is observed during SARS-CoV-2 infection but can also occur in some individuals after vaccination and shares some typical features with autoimmune liver disease. In this report, we show that highly activated T cells accumulate and are evenly distributed in the different areas of the liver in a patient with liver inflammation following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Moreover, within these liver infiltrating T cells, we observed an enrichment of T cells that are reactive to SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that these vaccine-induced cells can contribute to the liver inflammation in this context.

>This process involves taking many photographs and computing them into a single work using a complex algorithm, with minimal human involvement. //

Yes, so it's a technical process and not an artistic creative process. The correct IP law is patent law, copyright is for protection of artistic and creative works not for slavish production of images using technological means.

This is my own private opinion and not legal advice.

Control may be distributed, though it certainly is there. And crypto requires no party have too much control over the hash rate or else the advantage over traditional finance is lost.

Not technically. Even crypto-to-crypto trades still involve miners at least. And if it's L2 then you're trusting that middleman. Then for the family to get useful fiat from crypto they need an exchange.

I think we typically engage our Type 2 brains (see Daniel Pink) to make buying decisions. When something we want is perceived as free, our Type 2 brains are totally bypassed because the cost computation is perceived as complete. If something has even a small price, our Type 2 brain is engaged and detects an anomalous result.

As usual it boils down to: open and modular is better except that people won’t pay for it, so we get closed monoliths and SaaS even if they are often inferior.

It really does seem that you have to make businesses pay. Otherwise they won’t, and if they don’t there will be no resources to actually build what people want.

But as I always say: people will spend $300 in a month at Starbucks. No problem. But paying a quarter or less of that for software is a hard no. So we get what we pay for, or rather don’t get what we won’t pay for.

When I had panoramic X-rays done, there really wasn't much opportunity for creativity for the person operating the machine.

On the machine used for mine there was a chin rest that you rested your head on that held the head in a fixed position, in in front of that was a thing holding a disposable piece that you bit on. This was adjustable to get the right height for you to bite it.

You then put your head on the rest, the operator put a new disposable piece on the bite thing and sets the height so you can bite it. Then they move the part that swings around while it is scanning to be near one ear--I'll call this part the scanner. They then hit the start button on the application running on the controlling computer.

The software knows where the chin rest is, and from the height of the holder for the bite thingy it knows where the front of you mouth is relative to the chin holder. The initial placement of the scanner tells it how wide your head is. That gives it all it needs to do its thing.

Language is only one of the issues. The Quebecois see themselves as fundamentally different and _not Canadian_ - they don't celebrate Canada Day for instance (at least not in a significant capacity).

Even if the RoC made French a mandatory part of their education systems, Quebec would remain "different" and generally bitter towards the rest of the country (and vice versa). It has an entirely different culture from the rest of the country and will always have a chip on its shoulder unless French language (specifically _Quebecois French) and culture spread throughout the rest of the country, which will obviously never happen. While it's a difficult problem to solve, I don't think that the forced language laws are the right approach - they just create more discontentment and resentment.

Ideally, they would apply these rulings to the province as they see fit, but leave Montreal as an independent district of sorts which operates more similarly to the rest of Canada. This has been proposed many times, but unfortunately never happened.
What I meant to say was, that we don’t have the concept of transferable copyright.

I like when people share their ideas.
I assume you mean "writing system" and not "language" here.

Writing systems were independently invented no fewer than three times (Mesopotamian, Chinese, and Mayan are unquestionably independent inventions) and probably more times, while also being reinvented from scratch numerous times after that (Cherokee being perhaps the most well-documented such reinvention--Sequoyah knew of writing from the Americans, but had no other conception of how it worked, and his documentation of the process of developing the Cherokee syllabry is a nice compression of the history of stages of writing systems). It does not seem to be a particularly challenging invention.

There appear to be two key hurdles that are required for the development of writing. The first is the creation of a systematic inventory of stylized representations of objects, for example knowing that this symbol represents "sun" and that one represents "eye". In particular, I'd draw the "systematic" inventory here as the challenge--merely representing concepts in visual drawings seems to be a pretty universal capability. The second hurdle is the re-encoding of (some of) these symbols to represent phonetic values in an abstract way. (Note that being able to represent any phonetic utterance of a language is the distinguishing characteristic between proto-writing and writing.)

If you actually want to know how language is created, well, there is a recent community of deaf people who spontaneously invented their own sign language de novo, which suggests that language is actually incredibly easy to invent.
> the copyright holder is the person who took the image. Not you.

But it could be interesting to think about whether a dental X-ray is "your likeness". So even if the dentist holds the copyright, their copyright is burdened/encumbered by the fact that it's a "picture of you". Unless you sign away that right in exchange for treatment, the copyright might not be that useful.

Competitors bidding on keywords is definitely lame.
What I'm curious about is how you distinguish this from ordinary photography. What sets an X-ray apart?

For starters, without knowing, I suspect it is not necessary that you "preview" the result before taking the photograph, given this wasn't viable with early photography.

It could be the fact that you can't see the underlying bone structure etc, whereas someone taking an ordinary photograph can look at what they will depict. By this logic, someone who closes their eyes, spins around and photographs something without any idea of what would result may not have used intellectual effort in creating the photograph, since they did not see the subject. On this logic you might also question whether a visually impaired person could ever own copyright in an image.

Perhaps it is the predefined nature of what is being depicted. Imagine an autopsy room where the deceased is placed on a trolley and photographs are taken by a mortician from predefined angles. To make it even easier, imagine the cameras are already prepositioned and the mortician simply clicks a button. I wonder if copyright would subsist in the photographs that result from this scenario.
