>I thought media releases were required for image rights before video could be commercialized?

Despite using the same terminology as copyright law, the rights photographers have are different and the use of terminology is different.

To use the USA as an example because it's easier, photographers always have the right take photos on public property and they do not need consent to do so, and they also have the right to publish those photos and do not need consent to do so. Traditionally publishing would have meant publishing to print or broadcast media (i.e., news) where commercial activity is inherently implied. Today, publishing would also include posting to a blog, social media, sites like YouTube, etc.

Where photographers usually need consent is using those images commercially, however since they already have the right to publish (and to profit from) images, what commercial use in this context means is to use those images in advertising, to use those images in merchandise, to sell those photos to image libraries (think stock photography websites), etc. This is in contrast to copyright law where there's no publish/commercial distinction and where a licence prohibiting commercial use prohibits selling that work.

Of course none of that applies here, it was filmed on private property where the mall owner likely requires consent before people can take photos, and also because it's Australia which doesn't give blanket permission for people to take and publish photos without consent. However if Australia is anything like the UK the restrictions are that you can't take photos, or publish photos, of people that have an expectation of privacy, although this was filmed in a public place so there's likely no expectation to privacy.

Nah. World's still round. Your weaselly "for us" is just begging the question. You can't just redefine belief as fact, that's why we have different words for them.

Claim we don't share the same reality if you like, repeat it a hundred times, but if I punch you in the nose, it will break in both our realities. And when you protest, my repeated assertion that your nose doesn't hurt in MY reality is unlikely to cut much ice with you.

Your philosophy holds no practical value.
I'm probably just being naive here, but can someone enlighten me to whether Google's Nest cameras have had similar issues? Ring seems to have had a long trail of issues with being hacked, collaborating with police, etc.

Not looking for hypotheticals here; I know most oppose the general principle of cloud-backed surveillance devices, but I personally (for better or for worse) have a better impression of Google's attempts to ensure user privacy and security.
Instagram: Building a new Titanic on the deck of the old one
>> Even car accidents...

I hate when a real car accident is attributed to a drunk driver when it was not. There are plenty of wrecked cars from actual drunk driving, you don't need to lie to get an example. Some people think their intentions justify their actions, even when their actions can accurately be described as "lie" or "cheat" or "for profit" or some other dishonest thing. This may be effective in many cases, but in others it discredits your efforts and perhaps even your cause.

Random acts of kindness DO happen, but are usually not captured on video.

Smart thermometer manufacturers could solve this fairly easily by randomizing the start time. Instead of them all turning on the heater in the winter at 6am, they could i.e pick a random start time between 5:30-6:30 by default.
I wonder if a part of it is they do not have peers to check their behavior. There's a ton of stuff that I could be into, but I'm not because my peers talked me out of it. You would walk into the office with a new salad you want to try for example, and your co-worker disapproves, while you don't have to listen to that co-worker, it makes you second guess you decision a bit and later reconsider your approach.

When you're a CEO you don't have that. No one is going to tell you your salad sucks, or your morning routine is wired. No they will tell you how inspiring it is, how they wish they could try it. And this is the problem with being a CEO or in any position of massive power like that, people will never tell you the truth anymore. Some CEO's rightfully identify this as an employee just kissing ass and realize that it might actually still be wired. All the "shaman" CEO's didn't get it, "wow that smoothie looks great" went directly to their heads and now they think they cracked a superior diet and way of life, so they go on to champion it. Every time they champion it they get more responses like they did from that first employee, for the same reason, and they keep going. Mix that in with unlimited money and it's not hard to see why these CEO's are into such wired shit.
Web 2.0 was a description of / a name given to something that had already happened, with ajax, interactivity, and stuff.

Web3 is just a few people pushing for something that nobody wants, nor even understands, maybe even themselves.

Versioning the concept of Web is dead now, let's just say Web and move on.

We don't need blockchains. The Web as a concept is already decentralized, let's work toward actual decentralization but you don't need new concepts nor upping a version number for this. You need lobbying, teaching, raising awareness, legislation, building solutions...: human stuff and a bit of technical work.

What is the time of day, before which, it is possible to drink a glass of wine and not have REM significantly disrupted?
That may be the case, doing a bit of research here I see some numbers where if you slice only the America market passive investors are near parity of even a minor majority - but the question still remains, has that fundamentally changed the market composition?

I wonder if it'll make it more stable because the passive investors aren't as inclined to randomly shift money around or pull it out. Even if they are inclined to pull it out, does the behaviour of the money being pulled out look much different when looking at the market in aggregate? It stands to reason even active investors would be heavily invested in those exact same companies and would be deliberately pulling money out as well? It seems to me that all the investors investing in the average just means the market will continue to be average.
Yeah, it does seem to come up a lot more often than discussions about U+5350.

SPACS were just a new solution to an old problem: Dumping overpriced assets to small investors. I've seen it all through my dad's investments, which local banks sold him. Younger people don't fall for that trick anymore, so et voila, SPACs are born. Same shit, new name. There was an article just a few weeks ago in the FT, that showed how PE firms are pumping up company prices by buying companies they already own. At the end this garbage needs to be dumped on someone, otherwise why bother.

Arguments of the form "So $MISREPRESENTATION_OF_STATED_OPINION" are disappointing to see here. I don't think you really think that the grandparent is suggesting that to be "more empathetic to people who beg for money" is to invite them to Thanksgiving or give them your bed.

Consider visiting Reddit, where discourse of the form "So $MISREPRESENTATION_OF_STATED_OPINION" is more accepted.
We enjoyed 12+ years of cheap capital. Our stock market were largely bubble of tech companies that used this cheap capital to achieve insane market cap.

Those days are over and will not come back for a loooong time. ex) Japan has not reached its 1989 peak and its nearly going into 40 years no sign of stopping.

Globalization is also come to an end and our economy built around cheap capital and Chinese labor is over.

This is the end of cheap goods, cheap travels, and the middle class. I do not want to be here when it gets bad. Just head over to r/vancouver to see people casually blaming their situation on immigration.
Tell HN: Upwork has an impersonation problem
The past few days I started getting interview invites from companies and people I had never heard of. I initially shrugged it off as aggressive spam, but after declining one of the invites, one of the emailers followed up to confirm that I was the same person that they were talking to on Upwork.

I had never setup an Upwork profile before so I said no, after which they responded with a link to a profile of someone that was completely impersonating me. They had scraped my LinkedIn page for information and were interviewing under the guise of being someone they were not (they were even using my picture). I talked to Upwork support, and after about 36 hours they deleted the impersonator. However, I just did another search and there is already someone else impersonating me again (this time they changed the face on the picture).

I only discovered this because the first impersonator was too lazy to change my resume they downloaded from my website and kept my real email on it, so some companies had used that email to contact me instead of their Upwork registered email.

I would recommend everyone search for their name on Upwork (I had to wrap mine in quotes to find the matches) and make sure they aren't being impersonated.

In the meantime, Upwork really needs a better validation mechanism. As engineers we really have no recourse, and there is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent this from happening.
That's the cynical take, yes.

I believe the smart thermostats are all synchronized with NTP servers and are able to much more precisely coordinate their activities as a side-effect.

Non-smart thermostats (even digital ones) usually drift on the clock settings substantially over time.
I don't think that any of the other "famous architects" measure up to Wright, but I do like a lot of the work done by Calatrava, Hadid, and I.M. Pei. Examples below:

> Windows 98 and ME did not substantially differ from Windows 95 in terms of their look-and-feel; the same can be said about Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000.

The only differences I remember are quick start icons in the taskbar, and gradients in window title bars.
Builder 43.alpha0
It does seem like there are a few details that are different, because the thermostats will put sustained load on the grid, whereas the TV pickup will not. That means that a couple of nice technical solutions like adding jitter to the startup times would solve the pickup problem, but not the increased load at 6:00 AM.
"Don't accept roses from strangers in Italy" was travel wisdom at least back as far as the mid-Oughts - the gambit there was a seeming well-wisher (often a child) handing a woman a rose, and then an accomplice badgering her male companion to pay for it and then resentfully yanking it back when he refused.

Can you tell me what areas this diet is lacking in? Scurvy is not a problem because fresh meat contains vitamin C. And hemochromatosis is not a problem either. It sounds to me like you're just hypothesizing here. In fact, people have known for centuries that fresh meat prevents scurvy.
interesting to see technological solutions to misinformation. I wonder though whether misinformation actually is technical problem rather than a manifestation political conflict. Hence, easy to see automated fact checking being weaponised, as manual fact checking already is
I'm the guy who reads that article and all these comments and if I'm in the meeting where they talk about this I just politely nod and have no idea what anyone is talking about.

Hey HN! Ege from Permify here. Permify is an open-source authorization service and policy engine based on Google-Zanzibar[0] with our own twist. Me and my co-founders have known each other for years since high school. And we love building things.

We have both worked with fortune 500 companies to small businesses [1], and every authorization system was unique. Yet we always tackle the same problems.

- Modeling the authorization logic was hard. As the product grows things get complicated very fast. So, it’s challenging to design a model that’s both easy to start with and future-proof. [2]
- Designing the architecture was a dread. It’s not a huge problem when you have a monolith. But when it comes to micro-services it’s a nightmare since authorization data is a subset of application data. [3]
- Authorization checks occur in so many places; like user interfaces, routers, API endpoints, database queries… So, choosing where to enforce authorization, and loading the authorization data is hard.

So, Permify syncs your authorization data as relation tuples with CDC(Change Data Capture) from Databases you want to a DB you point at.[4] And based on this data you can get boolean returns for your access control checks.

I know many alternatives had launched at HN over the course of time. So what’s the twist. What we concurrently encountered was orchestrating the authorization data was a nightmare.

What you can except from Permify in following months;

- Message broker to support more Databases.
- Redis Cache support.
- Better debugging and auditing tools such as transparency logs.
- More compatibility with the Zanzibar paper.

DSPD (circadian cycle usually 1 hour longer than normal, and a preference for sleep onset hours later than normal) is unrelated to needing less sleep.

But you are correct that some people do not need as much sleep. This is genetic.
It isn’t. The dumb timer thermostat my parents had in the 90s would, if widely installed, cause the exact same synchronized load problem.

One explanation is technological progress. You can imagine if we were to figure out a good way to make space travel cheaper, for example, we'd no longer be limited to earth's limited resources. Of course, in the _long long_ term, entropy increase and indeed we do run out of the ability to grow or even maintain.
"Turning someone into a prop" is a metaphorical statement. To conclude the act matches a dictionary definition of something is taking rhetoric way too seriously. Any act can be metaphorically described in a way that sounds like that but if you want to attach moral judgment you really ought to focus on original facts and not the projection onto a metaphor.

The woman is clearly still treated as a human being, even if not given enough respect. If the filmer did something like forcefully moving her body and limbs for posing to achieve dramatic effect, or deliberately humiliated her with insulting commentary, you may have a point that it's "dehumanizing", but he didn't go that far.
True. Spanner and the likes of Spanner, CockroachDB, YugaByte all are strongly consistent and scalable dbs. The greatest advantage IMO is the ability to just use SQL without having to worry about carefully designing a data model. What bothers me however is that these data stores are not truly relational data stores. They spin a relational layer on top of a scalable key-value data store.

Is it necessary to use a strongly consistent transactional data store if your needs don't demand transactions, by transactions I mean 2PC. IMO you are still better off with DynamoDB/Cosmos/MongoDB for eventual consistency use cases. The reason being, you have to resort to a data model if you don't need the relational layer in YugaByte at least, not sure about Spanner. So why bother with Yugabyte if am resorting to a data model. Might as well stick with DynamoDB.

Ecobee has eco+ which has "Community Energy Savings" [0]. It was just way too intrusive. It seemed to be a reactive system vs proactive. Technology Connections goes into this more [1], but I believe they should be providing a system that proactively cools when there is less demand _prior_ to an expected increase in demand. Effectively using your house as a "battery".

When I had it enabled, I was _always_ too hot (in the summer) during peak hours. Sorry, not sorry: I'm not willing to sacrifice my comfort for the ~$10/mo incentive.

I disagree. If entertainment value can be extracted out of people doing good things, then we 100% should do that. The issue here is that the creator didn’t do a good thing. He should’ve offered the flowers outright and asked permission to post the video.

> As in "We don't have a clear idea what this rune was for, or what it means, but we see it in documents and so added it to Unicode."

Documents? I had the strong impression that there are no documents written in runes. A rune we only know by its occurrence in documents would be far more interesting for the existence of a document than it would be for its own sake!

Compare what the page about Anglo-Saxon runes says about the corpus:

> The Old English and Old Frisian Runic Inscriptions database project at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany aims at collecting the genuine corpus of Old English inscriptions containing more than two runes in its paper edition, while the electronic edition aims at including both genuine and doubtful inscriptions down to single-rune inscriptions.

> The corpus of the paper edition encompasses about one hundred objects (including stone slabs, stone crosses, bones, rings, brooches, weapons, urns, a writing tablet, tweezers, a sun-dial,[clarification needed] comb, bracteates, caskets, a font, dishes, and graffiti). The database includes, in addition, 16 inscriptions containing a single rune, several runic coins, and 8 cases of dubious runic characters (runelike signs, possible Latin characters, weathered characters). Comprising fewer than 200 inscriptions, the corpus is slightly larger than that of Continental Elder Futhark (about 80 inscriptions, c. 400–700), but slightly smaller than that of the Scandinavian Elder Futhark (about 260 inscriptions, c. 200–800).

So across every runic system we know, we have under 600 texts, all of those texts are short inscriptions, and even to reach that number of samples we need to include texts that we aren't even sure contain any runes.
A lot of people giving hot takes here about what strategy is, and ironically Rumelt wrote his book to give a clear definition on what strategy is. The author of the substack does us all a disservice by not quoting Rumelt accurately.
Syncing the time over the internet would make them a lot more consistent.

Our non-smart thermostat has trouble keeping accurate time and drifts a minute per month or so. That would spread the load out more because “6am” is a ten minute window.
Sounds like they need to program them with something like exponential backoff and retry with jitter. Do the smart thermostats have any information on grid demand? IF not, then they could just be programmed to apply some random time shift +/- a few minutes (or however long) to spread out the demand and lower the spikes.
