I've never thought "piracy" was technically accurate; copyright violation is more like a kind of freeloading: other people are paying for their copies and you're not paying for yours.

At any rate, "changing the rules" can't be a blanket get-of-liability-free card, can it? I mean, if you walk into a convenience store, grab a Coke, and walk out without paying for it, you can't claim "I'm not disregarding payment, I'm changing the rules, rules in which money plays a role." Money plays a role, in the sense that you are expected to pay for the Coke and if you do not, it's theft.

It's uncomfortable to grapple with this, but the publishers were largely looking the other way with respect to the IA's lending library up when they were following the principle of "we've scanned X copies and thus can lend out X copies". Technically, that may still be considered copyright violation, in that the publishers didn't give permission for the copies to be used that way. But they let it slide until the IA decided that the closures of libraries during the pandemic constituted a rationale for "we've scanned at least one copy and thus can lend out as many as we want." SamReidHughes and I don't always see eye-to-eye on many things (hi, Sam), but legally speaking, he's absolutely correct, even if you'd prefer "flagrant copyright violation" rather than "piracy."

I can't believe that the IA did this without knowing full well it was inviting a legal challenge. The original CDL concept at least seems plausible to me, and in any case, I think the terms publishers offer libraries for digital copies are frequently bonkers (e.g., pay $X for a maximum of Y lending times, then be forced to buy a new digital copy). But either the IA deliberately violated copyright with the intent of trying to change the legal standing here -- which necessitates this trial happening -- or they deliberately violated copyright because they are, not to put too fine a point on it, blooming idiots. I would like to think the former, but I'm not sure they have very solid ground to stand on.

> As you can see, global temperatures have warmed from mainly human activities as time has progressed.

No? That may or may not be the case, but that's not what this is. This is a spiraly thing transitioning into redness without a test of how much change is bad or how causality was determined (other than, say, 140 years of sunlight).
It needs more of a write-up imo.
On the upside they're not quadcopters, the noise from dozens or hundreds of those flying by daily would drive people completely insane.
Nix handles native projects especially well. For the situation you're describing, Nix would automatically detect the libc dependency from the resulting Go binary. The only possible reason you could end up with a missing dependency in production is when you leave Nix out of the loop during build and/or deployment.

Nix's primary benefit is declarative and reproducible builds. But you can only benefit from it if you actually use it to build and deploy your projects. So instead of copying manually built binaries to production servers, you should create a Nix package and install that to your servers. Alternatively, you could use dockerTools.buildImage [1] to create a Docker image with all the runtime dependencies.

So my recommendation would be to actually use Nix, not avoid it.

The only feature the wideband chip provides is the device switching and pairing, which is largely redundant with multipoint Bluetooth spec and NFC, respectively. I'll appreciate what Apple did ergonomically, but I found the "smartness" of Airpods to be less reliable than using my XM4s connected to both the devices I was using. I understand the layman's struggle here, but I honestly think most people's bad experiences with Bluetooth were in the < v3 era, where things like multipoint hadn't been introduced and reliability/pairing were... shaky.

Nowadays, I think any phone running Android 10+ or Linux device using Pipewire has the best wireless audio experience I can think of. You can have high-bitrate audio codecs with excellent latency and a connection that's as good as the antennae you have plugged in. AAC and the funnel of buying U1 chip devices doesn't really put up enough of a fight, especially for a company that's long prided itself on delivering quality audio experiences.
There’s nothing wrong with people doing what they want to be doing. Even to your “perceived” grand visions like curing cancer or something else society has high value of - those people are usually motivated by doing that particular thing. And those people try until it’s either feasible or not, meaning they can make a living off of it. And they will get better by doing any of those things by failing and then being motivated trying harder and perhaps succeeding. So it seems that the economics will just work itself out. But I wouldn’t have a problem with somebody wanting to do something especially when they actually make an effort to do something. I think all people should have the opportunity to at least try, especially if they do you one of these jobs they don’t want to do to be able to afford the opportunity to try what they want. Respect to those people.
A lot of these arguments about Netflix's decline has been really Western-centric. I'm from Southeast Asia and the Netflix's catalog of films/shows from Asia is still unbeatable by other streaming platforms.

> But IIRC (it's been a few hours since I've read the thread) your comments put an extreme personal skew on the comments you were taking offense at

I sincerely do not think it is an “extreme personal skew” to reject any perspective which would either casually or gladly leave me dead, nor that there’s any reasonable assessment which would arrive at that conclusion.
”I reject perspectives which render me dead” is a very middle of the road personal skew. It’s a personal skew which would be extreme in absence. It’s the kind of personal skew which alarms people that something is wrong.

If you think it’s “extreme”, because the kind of conversation you want to encourage here is “light”, then you ought to know that the kinds of “light” comments I routinely get here—about medication which means the difference between crippling anxiety that made life not worth living, and about a diagnosis which made changing that accessible to me—those comments don’t just vanish because they get moderated. They wouldn’t just vanish if I didn’t have “show dead” in my settings. I seldom see the moderation until after people have laughingly dismissed anything about my experience, they vanish after my reality has been not just questioned but lightheadedly treated as a butt of a joke.

It isn’t just about “the internet” being “wrong”. Discussions that happen anywhere can lead to people making irreversible decisions. “The internet” isn’t some abstract thing, it’s real human beings interacting as quickly as requests are processed.

My personal experience isn’t unusual. Other people will encounter comments like I’ve received and some of them will be discouraged. Some of the consequences of that will be dead humans who wanted to be alive. Pushing back against that isn’t just personal to me. It’s my way of hoping that other people who experience what I have stay alive.

If that’s “breaking the rules”, fucking ban me because I want no part of it.

One of the many reasons that you should destroy a million dollars in value for the company in exchange for a penny in your own pocket.
They have that if you’re SMTS (L7) and above. You can actually use it, but you have to have a good manager and advocate for yourself to take the benefit that is in your job description, otherwise it’s just a nice benefit on paper and probably saves the company money.

Hi sn0w_crash!

1. You are correct, it's clearly just another SFDC company now.

2. Does most of the software engineering world work much over the winter holiday period? I haven't since.. come to think of it, since ever. And that's a long time, more than 20+ years in the biz.

That said, Salesforce is one of the best companies to work for if you want to get a fat paycheck for easy work. Not too many engineers slaving away for Salesforce (unless they're fools volunteering to do so).

Let's be real, Mark Benniof is a relatively generous and pretty cool person compared to the ubiquitous landscape of asshole billionaire leaders in tech you could choose to work for instead.
What are you missing out on?

Moby-Dick. Don Quixote, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, The Call of the Wild, Lord of the Flies, The Painted Bird, The Handmaid's Tale, 2001: A Space Odyssey, On the Beach, Naked Lunch, I Am Legend, The Grapes of Wrath, Last and First Men, Frankenstein,

Try to avoid "Great Books" lists, though. Ask your closest friends who they read. Or if a literary reference comes up that sparks your curiosity, ask where it's from and read that. Did you like a movie? Look it up on IMDB and see if it is based on or borrows from a book (you'd be surprised how many movies are drawn from books, even if they aren't direct adaptations.

Pick one, read it a while. Give it a chance, some start slow. If it doesn't resonate, move on to the next one. If you like a book, try another book by the same author, or from the same genre/era. Follow your curiosity.
> If the benefit of copyright is linear and the cost is non-linear as the number of works in the world grows then at some point we should abolish copyright entirely as the collective costs would be greater than the benefit provided by its incentive structure.

I think it's worth considering not just the number of works, but also the number of copiers.

In the days when copying meant printing presses, the physical act of making copies was overwhelmingly a commercial activity performed by a relative handful of businesses. Making a copy of a substantial work was not something the average person had a serious opportunity to do even once in their entire life, so copyright law only meaningfully restricted a small number of entities. By the mid-1980s, with the proliferation of human-scale media technologies like the photocopier, VCR, camcorder, tape deck, and floppy drive, the number of meaningfully regulated entities began an explosive growth that has not stopped since. Copyright law has been amended with hacks like the AHRA and DMCA, but has never come close to a true reckoning with the modern reality of a copy being just a click away for countless millions of people, never mind cultural phenomena like meme generators, mashups, and fanfic that tend to functionally treat authorship less as a matter of negotiable consideration and more as a matter of tribal history.

Why? Why can’t companies create jobs everywhere? Shouldn’t every American city deserve top notch infrastructure that the states only reserves for high density unaffordable cities where jobs are concentrated.

Maybe this will force the governments to spend some of our accumulated tax dollars to actually improve public transport and efficiently network cities and towns.

Zoning rules exist for a reason. People need infrastructure and water and services and power grids to live well. High density is not desirable nor will it be affordable. It behooves the govt to encourage high density where there are jobs to create artificial scarcity and inflate housing value.

Because higher the home value, more property tax can be extracted. This is the oldest con in the world. This is also why all high density cities are all expensive and housing is unaffordable and everything from water to power is expensive and public services are woefully inadequate.
The constant $$ cost of the Bloomberg has been in decline for years, as the number of people who subscribe = aging away. In the pre-internet heyday they were marvels, and initially included a T1 data line, later ADSL and now fiber or cable - varies.
They took weeks to become adept at their RGB over/under display - they had 2 keyboards, one a qwerty the other a grid with text marked and colored keys, and some training you attended.I had a set from 1995-2002.$2200/month plus the T1

They were good, for the day, but nothing compared to what Bloomberg now provides via 2 side by side large screen colored monitors.
Bloomberg has staff that race ahead, gather/display etc.
A web adept person can come close to a Bloomberg. But Bloomberg has all the subscriptions/markets etc mass subscribed, but a lone person will find it hard to beat as he will pay 2-3 times as much for each feed. Banks/Brokers can do better, but then Bloomberg charges them less per desk, so Bloomberg still does well.
It is hard to beat a smart company that works hard...

I'm sure poor track condition probably had a lot to do with it. With respect to reliability, I think buses and even trolley-buses have an advantage over streetcars in traffic because they can go around obstructions in the street, while streetcars really can't. Trolley-buses have to stay on roads with overhead lines of course, but they still have more lateral freedom than trolleys on rails.

While I agree that CRDTs could work here, what struck me is you comment about a “regular-old timestamp”. In distributed systems, this isn’t simple. In fact, Lamport Clocks are a specific solution to guaranteeing a consistent monotonically increasing clock such that one time is known to occur after the other. A single instance, or primary db, can provide this, but in distributed systems this is the primary problem. There is no “regular-old timestamp” in distributed systems.
Another option would be to be oncall every 1.5 months and get paged between 0 and 3.5 times, by splitting the rotation in two.
> They have all these engineers, and it's not like it's difficult to make a chat program. Teleconferencing, sure, that's difficult.

FWIW, the UI of your average teleconferencing app is way simpler than a chat app and the state is only relevant in the moment which makes both the front end and backend easier to design due to a lack of search or history. The actual "conferencing" parts of a teleconferencing stack, both the client and the servers, are also nigh unto commodities at this point (as Google open sourced the tech for almost all of the hard problems they solved for Hangouts), while figuring out how to better index file attachments people throw into chat discussions isn't exactly a solved problem.
Yea its obviously valid.. you think the dude just bossed up and made a daw for this crazy hostile build target without knowing how people use them?

> The app is distributed under the guise of performing Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against a set of Russian websites.

> Based on our analysis, we believe that the StopWar app was developed by pro-Ukrainian developers and was the inspiration for what Turla actors based their fake CyberAzov DoS app off of.

So Ukrainians are creating DoS apps to attack Russian websites, Russians then create fake versions of those apps that actually DoS Ukrainian websites.

Crawling and archiving everything, including personal writings, is a chilling effect. It is the same situation people are seeing with social media, where the past remains to haunt the present and none of our future leaders are using it without a mask. It was most surprising to people when some Libraries decided 'published' meant anything put on the WWW or posted to Usenet. It seemed grasp for funding and to keep relevant in an age where information was moving out of published media and into opinions virtually scrawled on a toilet door. The stuff I needed to get removed from the Australian National Library's archive is exactly the sort of stuff that shouldn't be in there, directly against the statutory rights and mission, and the sort of thing that could be pointed to when you wanted to defund the project. Because some twit thought meaningful Australian published materials meant anything under a .au top level domain, all the dross hoovered up by IA including all the stuff since removed because it is in nobodies interest or causing harm. And it was a pain in the arse.

Not making any normative judgments on this policy change, but fwiw I expect that the note below is the real issue:

"making the workplace more equitable (as Salesforce employees could not access this benefit)"

If you're a long-time Salesforce employee, you watch a bunch of people from Slack walk through the door with tons of cash from their acquisition _and_ they get additional holidays that you don't. I'm not saying that this is some crazy injustice (life isn't fair), but I could see it logically putting a lot of pressure on the morale of other Salesforce teams.
Your argument pretty much predicates itself on Ukraine not having agency to make decisions for itself.

Ukraine is free to lick whatever alliances it wishes to join.

> Because decades of NATO expansion have nothing to do with this [0], having literal NATO exercises at the border of Russia [1], just completely normal and not at all an escalation. Nobody ever warned about any of this, it just came completely out of nowhere [2].

Decades of NATO are literally driven by the current actions of Russia and the past actions of the USSR. To view this in a vacuum is disingenuous at best, and malicious at worst.

Those NATO exercises where in Ukraine in 2014. In what world is that on the border with Russia?. In it’s a _country_ that borders Russia far far away from the actual border, in Lviv on the border with _Poland_.

> While the US would have no issue with Russia holding military exercises in Mexico, and couping the Mexican government. It wouldn't react in any way, most certainly not with the military, it's not like we have a precedent like the Cuban missile crisis, and the US military illegally occupying parts of Cuba to this day, in a very similar way to what Russia has done to Crimea.

The worlds changed (at least outside of Russia). Since Cuba, if this is your best comparison maybe it’s a bet of a stretch. This comparison would also require Ukraine to plan to host US nukes to be comparable.

> Sure, as long as you just wholesale ignore and deny what actually led to the war and how it was an active choice by US officials to undermine a diplomatic and peaceful solution, brokered by the EU, because "Fuck the EU".

Sounds like your suggesting that Russia was forced to invade Ukraine and murder there citizens.

You need to remember that Russia has the ability to not invade and subjugate countries, although given their history this may be hard to believe.

Russia is solely responsible, no one else. Ukraines also had 3 elections since the revolution and different people got elected each time, amazing isn’t it.

The politicians do it for power.

The 'people' are stupid and put their egos before reality.

They are also inclined to support people over ideas, and many of them legitimately believe the election was rigged because Trump and Newsmax/Foxnews told them so. So in a weird and perverse way, they are 'acting in good faith'.

'The Big Lies' are possible when people are already sensitive about it and 'want to believe it' i.e. they just need a reason to believe.

This is usually what we mean by populism.
