That's a bad analogy. Photographs don't reproduce with each other. Trying to force the notion of "copyright" on nature is an absurdist take that needs to be rejected with prejudice.

If Monsanto's little wet dream does come to pass, I imagine you'll defend things like "Sorry, but Monsanto says you haven't paid your kidney licensing fees, we're going to have to take that transplant back" or "Looks here like you owe us money because one of your ancestors bought some genes from us".

You'll probably say that can't happen for some reason or another, but unless we push back forcefully now, it will. Once you've thrown reason in the trash, all that's left is greed.

I can tell you that many people I know are abandoning Patreon for their support of Russian patreons. This statement didn't help: https://www.businessinsider.com/why-patreon-continued-to-sup...

And their response is not so great: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/4553920132877-....

I'm sure the layoffs are not entirely related, but having this stance didn't help.
Better forced sounds of mirth over genuine wails of anguish.
How is this different
So I have a scraper that gathers the information from about 60 different sources using a wide array of techniques which is run everyday.

The largest thing I try to look at is to make sure my sources are not older than 1 year. Sometimes these sources break and I update them or they go offline all together. I am always looking for new hosting providers, vpn and proxies.

Also I can do further port analytics on these ips as well. A lot of the VPN services have specific ports open used by VPN services. I would say that automating every source from the start was a good way to start so I can stay up to date.
> How does that defend Palestine in any way?

Punishes the oppressors, in an attempt to make them stop oppressing. Same reasons why Ukrainians fight back against Russians.

And yes, he makes the same case, that Palestinians should instead attempt for a peaceful resolution and negotiation, despite it being extremely difficult (against a much stronger adversary, who doesn't respect them).
Getting a Steam Deck has absolutely destroyed my life. Plays mouse+keyboard games so comfortably and effortlessly.
I was saying quite the opposite to 'Boudin instructed the SFPD to use DNA evidence in the investigation of retail theft'. What I actually attempted to say was the SFPD's questionable use of dna data was seized on by Boudin who was fighting for his political life at this point and amplified it as a weapon vs the SFPD.

We all lose because rape kit dna shouldn't be in the pool of felon dna data, the police were being impeded by Boudin at every turn resulting in inappropriate policing methods to try and get a federal case through. The streets of San Francisco are no longer safe for anyone as a result of this fiasco with the SFPD understaffed and relunctant to do much for fear of being on the wrong side of criminal advocate activists legal challenges....

One game that I didn't think would work well on a controller was Rimworld but it's actually really great, and I love playing Rimworld from the couch. Hopefully the same amount of care for controller controls goes into Factorio.
I'm happy to hear that.

As a game developer, the state of game development is really exciting from a technological point of view. From a business point of view, it is very hard to compete, the market is very saturated. We are hoping to carve out a niche of high quality multiplayer games on the web.
I believe the 90day limit for ISOs is just the time to get the tax benefits. You can still exercise after 90days, you just pay more.
ok so followup question - lets say i buy this message and want to start "Banking for Medical Students" (well known gap, they have terrible credit history but are about to be good credits).

The precise segment doesnt matter, my question is - how much of the banking capital requirements do i need to put up? because a bank isn't just about payment rails and credit cards, its also about having literal cash in the bank right?
It's not about how you start, it's about how you end up. Only time will tell.
Author here! I would say the main advantage is that this just needs uploading a single file to S3. `sqlite-s3vfs` will split the database in pages and upload the pages separately to a bucket prefix.

Having just a single file has some advantages, like making use of object versioning in the bucket[0]. I also think that relying on s3fs[1] makes the VFS more flexible[2] than calling `boto3` as `sqlite3-s3vfs` does.

According to the article, Bryan Caplan has the best record of 100%.

But I was surprised to find that the article did not say much about the bets themselves, nor analyze in any great detail what exactly Caplan is doing. Indeed, it's not even possible based on the article AFAICT to check the 100% figure (23/23) independently.

Hopping through some links, I found this list:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qShKedFJptpxfTHl9MBtHARA...

What's interesting is how many of Caplan's bets favor a continuation of the status quo against an opponent believing in a more extreme outcome.

The open bets are also interesting. Consider this one:

> You pay me $x today. If any European country that was not Communist in 1988 has a civil war leading to 10,000 or more fatalities between today and December 31, 2045, I will immediately pay you $11x.” (initial terms, final terms here) 09/24/2015. Status: open.

That said, the language prevents me from figuring out which side Caplan bet on. This is a problem with many of the terms, but fortunately the winner is given as Caplan. Not so in this case.

Given Caplan's apparently conservative bent, I suspect he's "me".
Apparently warning against this is a big no-no!
Personally, I've found Bazel's tooling and dependency management to be extremely aggressive at pushing you to online-only development as your project scales in size. A company I worked for that used it lost multiple person-days for every engineer they had when Covid hit and the VPN went to crap.

It's great at being able to offload work to a remote server, but in my opinion that should never be the only way you can get work done. Local development should always be the default, with remote execution being an _option_ when available.
Yep. If its just JS, Turborepo would probably be a better choice nowadays.
Well, I suppose it's possible I need to ease into his style and one film might not do it. But in fact I'm a completist and all 7 are included among the "1001 Films to See Before you Die". So I suffer 6 more because I want to see all the films in the list.

Now, despite not enjoying his films (and others in the "1001" list, c'mon Warhol!) I was in fact able to appreciate that he has died and the impact he had made on cinema (whether I enjoyed his work or not). So I suppose I look at "1001 Films" as my "film school" class. (That has been going on for several years now, ha ha — and I'm only just closing out the 1960's.) I'm less film-stupid than I was a few years ago — maybe still not erudite (?) enough to appreciate New Wave though.
Algeria has already cut its exports to Spain because the Sanchez gov't supports Morocco's peace arbitrage in Western Sahara. Libya is in the middle of a civil war and the Russians are backing up Khalifa Haftar's LNA, who controls most of the territory, oil and gas fields. Thus Northern Africa is not such a reliable source.

I've read GEB over many years rather in the way someone would read the Bible. I pick it up from time to time and enjoy chewing on one or two chapters of material.

But I've yet to figure out if the book actually has a specific thesis. I know it's all about the power of interpretation and the way in which interpreting a formal system as self-referencing has the effect of completely blowing up the intended design of that system. But can someone sum up how this connects to consciousness beyond the obvious way in which consciousness plays the role of the interpreter? Or is that itself the thesis of the book? Or maybe that consciousness is the originator of self-reference?

Bottom line is that I think the thesis can be summed up in a few sentences, but apparently it takes a whole 800 page book to get to the point. Would love other people's thoughts on what that point is ultimately. By the way, as salty as I sound about it, I love GEB. So don't get me wrong :).
I think an assumption underlying this comment is that people are grading the accuracy of futurist gurus in order to give those gurus helpful feedback.

Nobody needs to be reminded that people who make public predictions might want to deceive investors or customers, to be famous and make money, or to deceive voters or legislators into pursuing their favored policies. People need to be reminded that their current psychics (and pundits for that matter) have a long history of only getting the things right that everybody got right, and even getting a few of those wrong for a bit of contrarian attention.

These "flight radar" sites work by tracking the ADS-B transponder data where the aircraft are actively broadcasting their position. This is used in civilian aviation to be able to more accurately tell the position, altitude, speed, heading etc. of planes (and avoid confusing random echos from rain etc. with planes).

If a military aircraft shows up on that, it's because they want to be seen, for example as a show of force. Once they don't want to be seen, they turn off their transponder, and disappear from those sites. Which is exactly what happened once SHTF in Ukraine.

If you have a cognitive aptitude for mathematics, you didn't "earn" that either - everything in some way or another is part of your birthright and privilege, both nature and nurture.

If you genuinely believe that the mind is somehow magically distinct from the same genetic system that gave you your physique, I'm afraid you're the delusional one.

> It seems to me social media is ripe for disruption.

I think what we see is that every social media site goes down pretty much the same way at some point.

FB was great until they started that whole recommended post stuff which fucked up the feed.

Instagram was great until they were bought by Facebook and had to get some metrics straight, too.

TikTok will be the next one to go down as influencers and other parasitic users tear it down, flood it with low quality content etc.

There will be something after TikTok. And TikTok will copy their features and FB will (try to) buy them and ruin them that way, too. It all goes down eventually.
Last year I tried doing a side project with a talented ex-Google buddy who insisted we set up Bazel to replace my simple Makefile. Three weeks later it still wasn’t working on my Windows box. We had a mixed Python and C++ code base and I like to use MinGW64 gcc on Windows. He blamed Windows and tried to get me to switch to Mac (no thanks, lol) and eventually he lost interest and gave up. The project went on to win an OpenCV funded competition and became the basis of a startup — good job, GNU Make!

So the answer IMHO to “when to use Bazel” is “never” :)
However Factorio lacks refactoring tools, tests and source control. If your code feels very similar to your bases maybe you're not using these things enough...
Heavy or light, let them do the work. Don't do it for them.
Presumably because they believe in the model. The upside comes from the cooperative ownership. Clearly this isn't intended to attract VCs, but to encourage financial investments from existing employee owners.
Hmm odd, not sure then. I'll take it, if it's not being used ;)

Those do filter out military flights and anybody else who asks (e.g. millionaires with private jets).

ADSBExchange.com does not, I always use that as it's completely free and fully powered by volunteers. They don't do any filtering or add artificial delays. Recently they've even added MLAT reception of pre-ADSB flights (needs quite a bit of coverage in the area though!)
Their statement makes sense to me
Facebook has a declining user count and a market cap which assumes growth. (Although the stock is down 60% from peak.) So, they've tried to increase revenue per user by adding more ads and promotional content. User count declined further.

This is sometimes called "pulling a Myspace".

Facebook/Meta is now on metaverse failure #3 (Oculus, Facebook Spaces, Horizon), has lost $10 billion in that space, and investors are not happy. They're not getting out that way. Facebook remains a viable business for now, but not a growth business.
Yeah I’m with you, once the friends group clued in that it was a bunch of financial types trying to make trades on a feeling, they should have spit all kinds of divergent information into that idiot machine.
That DynamoDB VFS looks cool! I agree that the VFS api makes one think about plenty of crazy ideas. Someone is working on a VFS based on Foundation DB[0] that looks very promising. It was recently discussed here[1]

Of course. Anyone can admire anyone, and actually people should admire people. But choosing to govern one's own life and fate over other people is not a good way to go where one really would want to be, from deep inside.
Cheap energy is great for Germany's energy intensive heavy industries, and strategically important. Russia and Germany getting cozy and growing together economically couldn't have made the US or the UK very comfortable and I believe this was at least a part of the US motivation to pull Ukraine from Russia's orbit. I mean it makes a lot more sense to me than the US actually giving a shit about Ukrainians and their freedom. It's very well played on the part of the US.

After all the point of NATO was to "keep the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down"

These startups are not actually banks—they will partner with banks that fulfill those capital requirements. For example, the Robinhood debit card is issued by Sutton Bank [0], a 100 year old bank in Ohio that very successfully provided the backing bank to a bunch of hot new fintech products.

So you would have to go through Sutton bank or another bank, but I think there are enough of these companies now that there's a fairly tried and true path. If you're seriously investigating this I can connect you to people who know more about it than I do.

Just a thought I had: Godot is MIT and the project never had a contributor license agreement. W4 doesn't "own" the copyright anymore than anyone else. An investor with enough capital could start their own W4 competitor, or even a closed source competitor, based on Godot at any time.

> Our users are primarily financial technology companies.

As a developer, I'd love to have some more information about the typical problems that inspired Increase's value proposition. If I was meeting with a financial tech CEO tomorrow, should I assume that they probably have these problems or need this service? Are there resources that I could peruse to learn more about these common problems?
He's not wrong. Patreon's technical platform isn't cutting edge or unique and could be replicated fairly quickly by a small team in a month or two. Most of what makes Patreon what it is comes from the other parts of the company, i.e., the marketers, account managers, etc., that bring in the actual revenue.

Of course, that's also the reason why a tiny company can't just replace Patreon: it's not the tech that matters. It's the marketing and other people stuff that you just can't handle with a small team.

It's not a good sign that Patreon is doubling down on engineering and eliminating the positions that actually bring in revenue. That's a sign of a poorly managed company not understanding its value proposition. Keeping extra engineers on staff to create yet another cryptocurrency isn't going to save Patreon, but the absence of the two dozen plus marketers and account managers they just fired will be acutely felt as they go into the holiday season.

I expect they algorithmically tailor this sort of thing so when they detect a spike in "hide" activity they temporarily scale it back so you think it had an effect, making you more likely to methodically spend 20 minutes poring over all their Ad, Sponsored, and Suggested content again in the future.

It’s an invasion of privacy because it’s not neutral info. It may for example contain information about genetic diseases or other things that could be used to discriminate against you. It doesn’t matter if it’s not the police’s intent to use it that way, since by collecting it they create a huge target for hackers to get a large amount of this info. The information it contains should be considered closer to CC number than a ID picture (or arguably even worse, since you can’t change it).

If you're an enterprising individuals you can "kinda" do this but it's not easy and definitely 100% a headache.

Neobanks sometimes use this notion of a virtual bank account. My understanding is that it's a single FDIC insured account that they subdivide using their own ledger.

For cards, you can use Stripe Treasury or Lithic to issue your own virtual cards and their dev limits are pretty friendly. I think privacy.com does this as a consumer experience really well. Note you said `checking accounts at will with different card numbers`. Depository accounts are a totally different notion and resource than cards.

However should you do this? I can't think of a reason why you'd want to for your own purposes. The reason fintech is so annoying is not because banks/tech players don't want you to have nice things, is that there is a ridiculous amount of regulatory overhead.

I don’t see what’s Google specific about any of this? Certainly one can argue that it’s a massive global conspiracy coordinated across the multiple companies alluded to…
Thanks for your input.

>Do you have any data showing your service is better/more accurate/better false positive rate than competing offerings

I have signed up to some of the competitors and my service averaged about 20ms per request for a single IP address. From the competition it was typically around 200ms to 300ms. Regarding better false positives that would be rather hard to do.

> Are you on the up and up with all those public sources?

I gathered from sources that did not have any licensing related to non-commercial use. Would you recommend I reach out to all of the sources regardless even if they say you can use it for commercial use? Or do not say anything about commercial use at all?

> No, currently IPDetective does not support ipv6 addresses. However this feature is on the road map.

Yeah I know, just focusing on IPv4 right now. I am still collecting ipv6 addresses however I have not implemented it in the service yet.

Thanks a bunch for writing the comments above.
TIL. Thanks for the link!
What I imagine is that there is either some kind of delegation of lending here, or that you get the backing/start a bank on your own and utilize this service to do the needful around account servicing more easily
