I have polluted your land and poisoned you simply by driving past your window with my combustion engine on my neighboring property. That you draw the line at PFAS is completely arbitrary, which usually becomes clear when you ask libertarians what they believe constitutes an aggression.
Funny thing is ALL these legal frameworks are there to protect these 3 people like you.

If there would be no enforcement of IP/licensing or legal enforcement - M$, Google etc. would not be nice - they would just come over and kick your doors cut your head off because they could do so. With legal framework they at least have to ask someone else.

You just have to understand you don't stand a chance with your 3 buddies against 10 motivated attackers.

Writing about "accepting terms of dominant party" you clearly never had a robbery at your house - imagine now corporations doing the same when there would be no legal frameworks.

Read up on Dutch East India Company - or just Nestle - Microsoft or Google are still quite nice companies with Walt Disney and Nintendo.
EVs are 30-40 times more expensive than an eBike. Manufacturing, shipping them, etc. is also harder and ramping up production will take more time.

To get the same gas reduction bang for the buck those top 10% would need to be consuming 30-40x more gas.

And as others have pointed out, those high gas users are probably not great markets for current EVs anyways. Current EVs work because most people don't need to use too much energy in 1 day, so they can fill up enough for a days worth of driving overnight. High gas users, almost by definition, will be using up a lot more energy, which can likely only be sustained by using gas cars, which can refuel the energy in minutes.
Or, a carbon fee and dividend. Which would put gas prices up, make everything else relatively cheaper and reward effificiency.

Loved Heap (Analytics?). I advocated for it while working at my previous employer :) I think we were early customers. At the time, its automatic tracking of all events was a godsend compared to hooking up specific tracking after the fact using GA events.
True, however, the users have been liable too. If my company gets sued because I used Copilot, it won't matter that much that the plaintiff also sued GitHub/Microsoft.
Why does your small blog need an "analytics solution" in the first place, if you earn $0?
As more and more country specific legal regulations are raised, I wonder who will be the ultimate gatekeepers of the general internet when certain actors behave against the "rules". The current landscape is a complex system of seeming contradictions straddling different levels of public and private, centralized and decentralized, anarchical and moderated, etc.

Will ISPs be forced to cut off traffic from certain areas? Will centralized companies like Google and Reddit be forced to comply with regulations or cut off services in certain areas? Will governments set up firewalls? Will the buck of responsibility be passed upwards to service providers like GA, or downwards to individual site administrators?
> while most of the code that the system generates is novel, every time it generates code that is close to an existing snippet in its training data, it will note that and highlight the license of that original function. It’s then up to the developer to decide whether to use it or not. This should alleviate some (though maybe not all) of the copyright concerns that maybe come with using a tool like this.

Agreed. I was providing an example, but if this was a step the govt took, it should certainly be parametrized.

If the code is really sufficiently trivial (and I’d guess that most code samples you’ll find on StackOverflow are) you may have a fair use argument in the US. Generally speaking though (and especially for anything nontrivial) you need to respect the license. CC BY-SA 4.0 is one-way compatible with GPLv3, though, so that helps if you’re including it in a GPLv3 codebase: https://creativecommons.org/2015/10/08/cc-by-sa-4-0-now-one-...
I tried Bazel once about 5 years ago for a Python project and it definitely wasn't up to task then, and I kind of wrote it off for a while (it was a bad experience). I do like the idea of tools like Bazel and Nix, and I've since moved toward Go and Rust which I think are more of a happy path for Bazel. I wouldn't mind giving it another try, but I'm not eager to bite off a big learning curve (limited spare time, other hobbies, etc). If anyone has any recommendations for gentle introductions to Bazel (ideally for Go), I would appreciate them.
Bootstrapping aside, a compiler written in a GCd language would make perfect sense. It really doesn’t have any reason to go lower level than that (other than of course, if one wants to bootstrap it in the same language that happens to be a low-level one)
Announcing you are doing something bad to customers, and then having to publicly justify it again might be a signal you need to revisit the decision.

Firing customers is a great thing to talk about at seminars, but in reality, every relationship you end unilaterally has ripple that can turn into choppy seas in the future.

It would be kind of cool if Github could show some stat that code you wrote has been used 50,000 times for 12,000 people.

Being a top CoPilot contributor should at least have value to signal on your resume.
That's what's happening, right? It's just that space is curved by the earth
Google does the same thing taking snippets out of pages or even completely caching them so you can see the entire page from their servers.
> For example, another way to think of this is that you have a buffer of initialized memory (no unsafe), containing a view onto some piece of data, from which you serve a subset to the user, but you get the format of the subset wrong, so that parts of the view leak through. That's a bleed.

If there's full initialization then this is just a logic error, no? Apart from some kind of capability typing over ranges of bytes (not very ergonomic), this would be a very difficult subtype of "bleed" to statically describe, much less prevent.
Tone and semantic content are inseparable, whether we want them to be or not, particularly in damage control situations. I can envision ways of writing this article that I would read with a much less cynical lens.

In particular, I find the emphasis on growth particularly galling for the following reason: If I'm a fired customer, and you're the company that fired me, what do I care about your growth? That's worth nothing to the fired customer, any argument to the contrary is thoroughly illogical. Thus, I'm forced to conclude that it's only about assuaging the concerns of the customers they're currently willing to retain. The customers Brex left in the ditch still matter just as little as they did last time around. I have no stake in any of this, but reading their communications over the matter leaves a sour note in my mouth, and it seems like a completely unforced error. YMMV, naturally, but I don't respect their approach at all.
Your reply made me smile, but it's the opposite that has given me my biggest learning experiences. Greenfield projects that you stay on a while. You only have yourself to blame when there are problems a few years in.
Related, the Amazon announcement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31851373
These criteria are such a low bar that merely stating them upfront would have changed the discussion last week.

I wonder if these were the original criteria or if this is a partial walk back. The SBA usually defines a small business as having less than 500 employees even if it has significant revenue.

If I had been asked to guess the criteria based on the initial announcement, I would have guessed 500 employees, $100MM in revenue, or $5MM in money raised with some exceptions for top-tier investors or other judgmental criteria.
You're now making inflammatory claims about how you understand statistics better than NYU scientists and professors. Yet, all you've actually done is invent some numbers in your head and call them statistics, while also redefining bias. You even conveniently left out the rest of the researchers' quote which shows your premise is utter nonsense:

"If this is extractable to the general population, approximately 2.75 million (2.13-3.38 million) Americans may suffer annually from a phenomenon similar to CHS."

There are approximately 35,000,000 regular smokers. 2.75m / 35m is 7.8%.

> Also, the dataset is likely biased because it consists of patients already presenting to the ER.

That's not how bias works. In fact, you're introducing your own concocted bias, because you've limited the dataset to the ER visits and not the population. Your 2.3% number only represents the number of undiagnosed vomiting cases that could be attributed to CHS, which has no relevance to the number of smokers who experience vomiting. You don't have any understanding of statistics.

> These conditions are very broad and symptoms of CHS match closely the symptoms of regular overdose, and most of the relief methods are also directly applicable to regular overdoses.

You're now suggesting that these situations aren't actually marjiuana-related at all, but instead some other drug overdose that the ER staff totally missed. So, not only do you purport to understand statistics better than everyone else, but your medical expertise apparently surpasses that of ER doctors. Your trolling is outrageous.
That's fair enough, but I believe the paper stayed in its bounds; it is correct that given the means or the willpower control could be assumed. What you should be more worried about than blatant double-spends are all the hidden ways having 51% of network control allows you to cartel, centralize, and siphon funds away from smaller, newer players in the system.

The worst thing about the SHA-1 collision is the tedium of explaining the difference between a collision attack and a preimage attack.
a mitm could just completely impersonate both parties decrypting and re-encrypting in both directions... unless at least one of the public keys was published through a secure channel like a certificate authority.
Not the ones who legally own 34 weapons. I've seen some folks whose main hobby is collecting and shooting weapons. Sure, not everyone has that obsession with weapons but my point was different. The choice of collecting weapons when one or two handguns would be sufficient for self defense implies quite a bit about who we talking about: adult men whose maturity got stunted in the stage of boyhood.
It might be wiser to keep SHA1 and use SHA2, SHA3, etc. and GPG as overlays for compatibility and simplicity reasons.

That depiction of Babel is by Peter Bruegel, a fantastic artist but obviously just making stuff up (1563) vs supposed biblical occurrence (far before that - but probably not real at all).

Its also far closer to the Colosseum, if we are comparing structures in reality vs art.
Weapon of mass destruction is clearly defined in 18 USC § 2332a(c)(2). I agree that the individual right to keep and bear arms is an important component of our Constitutional system of checks and balances, but weapons of mass destruction have never been considered "arms" in that context.

It was state dependant, but also only had to be done with our Wells Fargo accounts, meaning it was do to Wells Fargo's choices not specifically state requirements.
Self defense is okay, especially in the rural parts where police has a harder time covering the area. But why do they need machine guns for or war weapons? Just because they can it seems, it is really not very useful otherwise.

And don't even get me started on the second amendment. The way the constitutions' interpretation is stretched out nowadays borders insanity.
To me, it paves the way for creative prototyping. I don't see this as a zero-sum game between artists and AI. Instead, I could see artists using this for some serious time saving, and leveraging that extra time and energy for creating better results.

Although if you are a good runner, I've heard moderate cannabis usage can help bring on the runners high much quicker making running more fun.
I work in real time, often safety critical environments. High level interpreted languages aren't particularly useful there. The typical options are C/C++, hardware (e.g. FPGAs), or something more obscure like Ada/Spark.

But in general, sanitizers are also something you can do to legacy code to bring it closer to safety and you can turn them off for production if you absolutely, definitely need those last few percent (which few people do). It's hard to overstate how valuable all of that is. A big part of the appeal of zig is its interoperability with C and the ability to introduce it gradually. Compare to the horrible contortions you have to do with CFFI to call Python from C.
Generally is faster (fewer rounds per byte). If you have 256 bits available for your hash and you're on a 64 bit architecture, I've yet to see a case where you're not better off for performance and security choosing SHA-512/256 over SHA-256, assuming you have the choice.

Well, I hope your viewpoint doesn't win the day, because making code as freely shareable and remixable as possible is a huge boon for humanity.
After the fall there’s not much of a trend. Sometimes things seem better sometimes worse, but generally people are looking forward to rest, not backward to halcyon days.
Sidenote: KSP is the worst way to build intuition in this particular case as it doesn't have any drag model in orbit, or even n-body simulation, so no orbital decay is possible there. Playing around with NASA's GMAT [0] or similar more comprehensive software is much more helpful to understand real-world orbital mechanics.

Isn't it too late for the diagram if the code is already written? I think many diagram use cases are about informing which code should be written to begin with.

For understanding an existing thing, diagram from code seems great.
I'll likely give this a try, as there's a millennial ease to not needing to hire a person specifically. Random different editors reviewing your work is certainly beneficial to a point. But you lose out on the possibility of a relationship forming between writer/editor, which limits the overall value prop for both parties. Basically, you'd always be selling commodity editing services.

Also, the subscription pricing with word limits seems wonky. Why not just go with usage pricing and discounts at higher volumes? (eg. $0.10 / word.) You'd have a much more likely chance of keeping me as a customer if I don't need to cancel when I stop using you for a while.
Agreed i'm not interested in "ever-growing"...not for a distro nor a gov...but i am interested in an evolving one for the better - i.e. improve effectiveness, and reduce bloat if it adds nothing of value. ;-)
Android uses the Linux kernel, which, to old-heads like me, is Linux, whereas the combination of userland and kernel was GNU/Linux.

ChromeOS also uses the Linux kernel.

If you are talking about Chrome-the-web-browser, well, then the parent comment is nonsense.
grug agree. focus should be on trap complexity demon, make easier for new grugs to contribute meaningfully to kernel.

but.

C is language created by grugs in 70s. programmers born in 90s, 2000s very different. wear "programming socks". think C very, very bad -- danger!

rust is systems language for programming soxers. reality is, programming soxers now make big-BIG part of shamans in oss. like rust. want to rewrite everything in rust, think they can trap buffer overrun and use-after-free demons forever.

grug think there are perfectly fine grug languages -- ada, even lisp -- can trap demons same-same. grug also think tools can help keep demons out of C code base. but momentum behind rust now. grugs who maintain kernel must meet developers where they are. if kernel grugs resist change, programming soxers refuse to join project. go to press, say "these CVEs could have been prevented had they used rust!" gruggernews say "well, they're not wrong..." linux lose face. lose base of new programmers. very bad for project.
Wasn't it "I smell the blood of a Christian" (presumably as opposed to a "Turk" or "Moor")
Everyone is focusing on whether being content with working at Taco Bell is sufficient in life, but I think the more interesting question is whether they truly are content. That's not for me to answer, but if the South Park quote has any truth (and I think it has more than a little), in 50 years' time, they themselves might not be happy with how things went in retrospect. In that case, it's possible they weren't really content all that time, but were using weed to avoid deeply feeling that discontent.

I say this as someone with at least a little experience, not to be judgmental.
Last time I went to the dispensary near me in Michigan, the budtender started off with the 100mg gummies when I said I was looking for edibles.
Oh, I think I wasn't clear. I meant saying that the client is deciding to spy is a bit far-fetched. Google of course.
The fact that they track your activity and customers should already give you proper hints that you should look for an alternative ASAP

This is a slight misreading of my general political position. I am pro-government in general. I find the term "monopoly on violence" to generally indicate someone who lives a very cosseted and easy life who can spend time getting mad about like, seatbelt laws or speed limits, so I use it somewhat tounge-in-cheek.

There's quite a lot of possibilities between DMCAs of youtube-dl repositories and Big-co death-squads decapitating people in their homes. I'd prefer where we are now to the Brazil end of that spectrum but we can imagine better models of digital and intellectual 'property'.

I believe your argument simply boils down to "laws shouldn't apply to people". Am I mistaken?
That's a pretty big assumption, considering someone intent on committing a crime isn't exactly pre-disposed to follow the law in the first place and all you are really doing is disarming someone who does follow the law and placing them at a greater disadvantage.
> It's a consumer protection law, what you want is consumers with less or no protections.

Yes, indeed. I don't believe the government should mandate specific protections consumers should receive, because it just serves to reduce consumer options. And this is also why I wish GDPR would have been opt in, giving more options to consumers.

For example, in a world with no government mandated "2 year warranty", some manufacturers would offer a product with "2 year warranty" and some other manufacturers would offer the same product "without warranty", but at a lower price.

Consumers would then be free to chose if they want to pay the cheaper price without warranty or the higher price with the warranty. There are two options for consumers in this world whereas in the world with mandated warranty, only the "higher price with warranty" option is available.

It's the same with GDPR, GDPR compliance has a cost. Some websites have started banning EU IPs for that reason.

Of course, the above assumes that consumers are not mislead and that transactions are voluntary. Therefore, I do think there should be laws against fraud, theft, misrepresentation, etc.
There is no reason to free memory. Your process is going to hard exit after a set workload.

If you wrote a compiler in a GCd language, you'd want to disable the collector because that just takes time, and compilers are slow enough as it is!
Seriously. I accidentally ate 1/4 of a 100mg THC chocolate bar, but it was not the right hybrid to keep me asleep, so I was in and out for hours. 25 mg is more than twice my preferred THC dose.
Cool.

I have a script that creates new ~/bin scripts that checks for collisions locally (functions, builtins, and executables) and in linux distros.

For example, I have a ~/bin/up script on every box and platform to install updates. So far so good on collisions.

Plummet implies a straight-line dead fall, or close to it. It derives from lead weights (hence the similarity to "plumber") attached to a line, used for sounding depth of water or for marking a straight vertical line. The "verbing" of that noun and its figurative use to describe falling appear to be quite recent developments—Webster's 1913 only lists a noun. I'd say it's the wrong word for this case, but then I'm an opponent of using slightly-similar words interchangeably, such that we effectively have fewer words to work with. However, I'm losing that fight anyway, so who cares I guess.

[EDIT] On reflection, this is even goofier than I thought at first, since the choice of lead for those applications is precisely because it's little affected by wind, and even fares better than most things against moving water, while this is entirely about something falling faster because of its interaction with air.
Language is really interesting in that way. You can positively or negatively frame literally anything without actually being untruthful.
I had never thought about that. That is definitely a useful attribute that makes me consider looking for more tubular options. My soap cup can get pretty gnarly after a while and this might solve some of that.
