Put yourself in their shoes at the beginning of the pandemic. Libraries close, schools close, students have to stay home from classes, physical production and shipping slows down or stops, people are losing their livelihoods, and no one knows how this is going to shake out. Meanwhile you're sitting on a massive wealth of human knowledge, and you're also a bit of an idealist and you recognize the vast harm our 1970s-era infinite-copyright policy has had over the past 50 years on our collective education and culture. Maybe there will be consequences down the road, but today, right now, you can help make peoples' days and futures a little less shitty.

I dunno, man. It's hard for me to imagine being in that position and not pressing the button. I imagine the archive (and their lawyers) went into the decision with eyes fully open. I doubt they had zero contingency plans for the worst case.
This is becoming one of the most abused sayings in the startup world.

In this case “ask for forgiveness” could mean going out of business in the process. You can only afford to “ask for forgiveness” and break the law if you’re willing to lose it all.

Why the IA did this as part of their long established archive business instead of a separate venture is beyond me.
Animals studies (made IIRC by Pfizer or BioNTech, and using GFAP mRNA, not the spike protein) had shown that while most lipid nanoparticles stay at the injection sites, (quoting from memory) ~10-20% end up in the blood stream, then enter myocardial, hepatic, adrenal and gonadic tissues. In other words, organs that consume a large amount of cholesterol.

My informed guess would be that the nanoparticles combine with HDL/LDL in the blood stream, and end up in the cells that consume these, but this is speculation.

This would end up disrupting the ovarian endocrine cells (cholesterol is the chemical precursor of sex hormones), which can regenerate once the RNA and its product has been eliminated. The future egg cells should not be affected (and AFAIK the ovarian reserve is not damaged by the COVID vaccines), and neither is sperm production.

Ironically, I was thrown off (briefly) because I remember reading about the original SATAN back in the day. I may be wrong, but I think it was a precursor to nmap? I haven't looked it up and this was in the late 90's.

On the contrary, I bet these cells are perfectly good cells (initially, after sitting on the side of the road they should definitely be considered dangerous). Remember that "a completely functional lithium battery pack, sometimes with charging and protection circuitry" is sold pre-charged as a "top up" pack for mobile phones and meant to be thrown away after.

Lithium batteries are absurdly cheap, and it's not too expensive to buy essentially off the shelf, rated capacity and lifetime cells in order to be reasonably sure 99% of your products last for 99% of their rated puffs.

If your disposable vape doesn't produce as much as competitors because you cheaped out on your lithium cell procurement, your competitor will happily scoop up that business as word of mouth spreads.
Tech is far larger than publishing and there's potentially more money to be made organizing/consuming the world's information than in owning it. Some people have been pointing this out for 20 years.

History[0] makes a mockery of your assumption. What you says makes idealistic sense, but what tends to happen empirically is that people end up with tribal behavior which results in people not fighting for equality for everyone - but just for their in-group[1] (see: American "founding fathers", as alluded to in/lampshaded by TFA).

Congratulations on making one more partly wrong map and contributing to the list, therefore proving that doing so it indeed hard! Florida is shown as having more access than say France, because France has the limit at 14 weeks, right ? Eeeep, wrong, because you can't read the law. Firstly, it is 14 weeks _from the start of the pregnancy_, as opposed to the US who counts as as since the last period. And magically, when you convert, 14 weeks in France is 16 in the US (https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F1551). But that's not all. This is for abortion that is 100% at the choice of the mother. Except that abortion is legal up to 9 months, provided the health of the baby would be endangered _or_ the life of the mother would be endangered. And, would you look at this, "psychosocial risks" are a valid reason to ask for an abortion since 1974, or, in more simple to understand terms, "mental health bad if child born, or extreme poverty, etc".

Making cases like Andorra, Monaco and Liechtenstein take up so much space in the article overinflates their importance, considering they're about 100 000 people total and that crossing the border to any country is done in an hour. Sure, impractical, but also, insignificant. "Extremely minor leftover city state that is either a monarchy or just known for being a tax haven" isn't really useful on a map.
Or, matrix, mattermost or any self hosted platform where you can control the keys and host yourself...

Biggest issue as you highlight is userbase which frankly, if you're serious about going against state media you should be talking about avoiding devices locking you down to app stores etc. People on those platforms (as unfortunate as it is) have decided that pretty asthetics are worth personal freedom so ultimately will never support true freedom of thought or opinion.
I don't know if the numbers match (e.g. 20%) but this is basically what happened in the Great Depression. The advent of industrial nitrogen fixation led to increased agricultural productivity, which caused food prices to decline, which seems like it should be a good thing, but led to the impoverishment of many farmers who could no longer compete.

The Great Recession did shrink wages, although for office workers it mostly produced permanent increases in work demands (Millennial nightmare jobs vs. cushy Boomer jobs which, by the way, won't be backfilled when those who hold them vacate) with wages merely flat.

I agree. I used Azure at my last 2 companies and joined the company I currently work for right before it was decided to do a total rewrite and use AWS instead of Azure. I'll be looking for another Azure gig if/when I leave my current position.

AWS...works. But everything feels very primitive and few things work together coherently. They expect you to tie just about everything together with Lambdas instead of making various services work together well.

And some of their services are just a complete joke compared to Azure. Azure Data Factory is probably the greatest ETL tool I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Glue...does do ETL, I suppose. Event Hubs and Stream Analytics feels much nicer and better integrated than the equivalent Kinesis offerings. AWS has even deprecated their "legacy" SQL Kinesis analyzers. Now you have to write lambdas to do it.

In general I just think there's better overarching technical vision at Azure, whereas at AWS it's hundreds of independent teams that aren't coordinated well at all.
What's the "AWS" culture?

Ask HN: What can you realistically manufacture in your garage?
Given a two-car garage, what can a small team (2-3 people) manufacture that can be sold for some amount of profit? Imagine access to capital of 20-50k USD at maximum.

Interesting would be items whose manufacture could be automatized to some extent, but this is not necessary.

I am not particularly interested in the legality of this at the moment. But safety considerations could be important.
You could have said "still thriving" or something similar. "Still alive" has connotations of barely surviving. This team has been doing incredible work incredibly quickly from the beginning.
I think you're making a higher-level point than the big company-little company argument above, and it's the same point that is constantly reiterated about hiring: you quit bad BOSSES, not jobs. It's the bosses that make the environment and the work bad. If your management treats programmers like assembly-line workers, then that's the kind of programmer they'll get. At least, that's the kind of PROGRAMMING that they'll get, while certain people coast and look for something else. It's just bad management. You'd think that the CIO's and the CTO's of companies could possibly justify their titles by making sure this kind of environment didn't pervade in their companies, but, alas, that's not actually the sort of thing corporate officers care about.
> Which is not the case in typical maths schoolwork.

Because their 'preparations' usually suck. As someone has gone down the path many years ago (think pre 00), the problem is that many teachers didn't teach the right way to tackle the hard problem consistently. I quit the math olympic class half way in high school because I couldn't keep up with it anymore, as I was only brute forcing. I only learnt how to consistently tackle hard problems and being self introspective to maintain the high performance relatively easily many years later when I joined the workforce and being much better at learning.

I feel like this kind knowledge is lost in the current schools especially under circumstances, where let the students to explore their best potentials are no longer the goal.

And many ppl like me only rediscovered how to learn and work hard correctly and joyfully after adulthood through various online articles and videos.
But there’s some cases where it should be crystal clear and still isn’t.

If the pregnancy isn’t viable (e g the egg is fertilised but hasn’t traveled to the right place on the womb before “taking hold”), then abortion should be legal. If the phoetus has died, then abortion should be legal. There’s some clear-cut cases like that where it’s clear it should be legal and yet in some places the law is still “vague”.

> I feel like the air of the hacker spirit on the website is greatly diminished when we take an ice-cold approach to a difficult problem like this.

That “hacker spirit” has put years of extremely valuable internet archives at risk for an extremely insignificant gain, all due to a legal issue that anyone could see coming from a mile away.

Hacker spirit and playing fast and loose with the rules might fly when you’re a fresh startup with nothing to lose. It’s just plain irresponsible when you start putting an established business at risk in ways that were trivially avoided.
The one in the YouTube video looks very similar to (or exactly like) one of the designs from one of the Klutz books around the turn of the millennium. I might’ve found it in the Explorabook? I’m pretty sure they called it the best paper airplane you’ll ever make, it even had the same wing flaps.

It also looks almost exactly like one in the cover of the paper airplane book:

It possibly could have, but the circumstances would be significantly different. They did not impose any restrictions this time. If they hadc dinner it as GP suggests, they could easily argue that they made a fair and honest effort to not let closures in the physical world affect library availability. This probably still runs counter to copyright law. Were thr IA to lose such a case, the reasonableness of the approach in the face of such extraordinary circumstances would provide ample impetus to revaluate copyright legislation. Unlike the current situation.

I know a lot of writers who are very good at creating an outline and describing what's going on but poor at actually sitting down and getting words on paper for any extended period of time. These same people can read and critique/edit/etc endlessly. I think it's a fairly common problem because block is the number one topic in most forums for writers. Having a tool that takes an outline and generates a rough draft of a chapter that can be iterated on would make a huge difference for the non-Stephen Kings among us.
SIM cards have been amazingly painless for over 2 decades.

In over 2 decades SIM cards were never as painful as eSIMs are at their least painful.

In many countries govts have added KYC rules for getting a phone, etc., but to illustrate how excellent SIM cards were, it used to be that in most non CDMA dominant countries, you could walk out into the airport, put a few dollars in a vending machine, and get a SIM card that you could slip into your phone and have a local phone number immediately.
For me at least, it's quite on the contrary, there are few viable cases for content I wish not to consume via RSS.

Some of my reasons are:

1. Having a central place where I can keep track of my my reading lists.

2. Offline first (download for later use is the default behavior)

3. Deduplication - for advanced use cases such as messy web feeds, where ordering is far from guaranteed, a well defined key can reduce the clutter significantly.

4. Advanced filtering (Newsboat is great at that)
I don't consider it an open-and-shut case, but they're putting the archive at risk and they may not have enough money to win and I don't want to donate money to their lawyers. I wouldn't have a problem if they spun off a separate organization for this so it didn't threaten the archive.

Not a bad idea: use the AI to generate some sketch for the user, then the user finishes it. You might be able to teach art this way, slowly reduce the help the AI gives a student over time until they don’t need the AI anymore, or perhaps at some point they’ll realize they like coloring more than drawing and just keep asking the AI to produce sketches they can fill in with color, depth, and texture.

>Walled garden content aggregation is significantly more profitable than free syndication (e.g., Reddit, Facebook)

Reddit is a poor example(at least for now), considering you can still to this day add ".rss" to just about any search or url and get a feed. Their co-founder Aaron Swartz developed RSS. Before they destroyed modmail, you could use your rss reader to keep track of those as well.

Considering the corporate direction they are going, I'm sure the rss feature's days are numbered, as everything else, principles, morals, and ethics infused into reddit from Aaron Swartz are systematically replaced or removed.
> Are we at best biological AI's ?

imho yes. But don't have an existential crisis just yet. It's a very narrow task where the AI systems do well in a way that we don't expected from computers. But it's well chosen, there are still only few tasks where significant progress was made. They really can't make "logical deductions" at all and we have no idea how. Everything you see is learned via a massive amount of labeled data, but imagine you are a tradesmen repairing machines. We have no idea how to build a system that you could explain some basics on how to repair a simple machine and the system understanding what's going on. We can't learn from explanations. It turns out "AI" is not a single skill we have to master, but orthogonal concepts where we managed to conquer a single one. This doesn't mean the next one is around the corner.

I think it's a bit like the early mechanical age where people thought everything in the future will be mechanical (those fun retro-future posts). In my opinion we are in a similar situation. We are surprised by machines automating tasks that we thought are reserved for humans and just extrapolate, but it's not that simple. We have to find out exactly where to extrapolate to, but it currently very much looks like there are bounds to our current approach.
