It is the correct case, but the "promoting" might be a bit of an translation issue. They were found guilty of aiding and enabling infringement, but as I describe above, not for any specific infringement of a specific work but rather the act of infringement in a general sense.

There has been cases where "enabling" infringement been argued by US prosecutors, but I don't know what the legal status of that argument is. I have heard lawyers argue that nothing in copyright law explicitly forbid enabling, but that was mostly around the time of 2010.

PCMCIA has always been my favorite form factor.

One of my favorite deployments of it was to make a router out of a laptop - and use two of the xircom realport "mating" cards to give the laptop two real rj45 ports without any dongles:

... combine that with an already existing rj45 on the laptop and you had a three-port gateway with a built-in KVM and a built-in UPS.
> There are even memes on TikTok of people charging their Teslas with a petrol generator if you care to look.

Well, I don't have petrol or a Tesla, but I use my plug in hybrid as the load when I run my portable gasoline powered generator once a month. Better for the generator engine break-in than running it idle, and better than running a dummy load that just warms the environment, and better than trying to get the well pump to run a lot to exercise the generator and waste the aquifer.
You really don't see an issue with "science" (=people representing groups of scientists on tv) lying to people? "for the greater good"?

But we should still ban people who say otherwise? The first "otherwise" (nutjob conspiracy theorists telling you to wear a mask, no matter what fauci says) or the second "otherwise" (nutjob conspiracy theorists saying that masks are useless)? Which ones should we ban then?

I mean... doing what a youtubeing prepper nutjob said and did, has proven to be safer for you, than following what Fauci (and other local equivalents) say... or you'd atleast have masks, disinfectant and a basement full of toiletpaper and MREs at home, while those listening to Fauci wouldn't.

How can we "trust the science", when "the science" has clearly lied to us? What else is "science" lying about right now?
I have no use for it, and don't expect ever having a use for it. 95% accurate, 99% accurate, and 99.9% accurate are all aweful in this context.

It's something run repeatedly, so small chances will occur. Amoung it's failure states are being very, very wrong in ways that are hard for a skilled human to detect without more work that writing from scratch.

And no one in the space is discussing ways to eliminate categories of bugs, only ways to reduce the frequency. Most of those solutions have the side effect of making the less frequent bugs harder to detect. On balance, that's worse.

And, less importantly, it's only useful for writing boring code that should probably be generalized to an API. Sure, I write plenty of that, but it's not an exciting area to follow in my spare time.
I have a Msc in microbio, not biochem, but my understanding is that proteins don't have a constant shape. They vibrate, interact with other molecules, etc.

You won't have a perfect answer unless you want to predict its shape in a vacuum, which wouldn't be very useful either way. Having it "close enough" is already extremely useful. There are definitely edge cases where it gets it wrong, but there are always edge cases in ML. More data = better results with the same architecture.

Tons of things that won Nobel prizes weren't 100% accurate, it's not a prize for solving science, rather a prize for advancing science.

My wife is a neurobiologist and the impact of this advance is groundbreaking for her work.
> You should use a memory pool to allow re-using your allocated memory

Soon: programs implement their own allocators and memory pools and stop using the libc malloc, and thus stop benefiting from all the safety valves added to the libc malloc (including TFA), all because of the rumor that the libc malloc is slow (when it likely isn't).

Actually, that happened a couple decades ago.
There haven't been any high-quality studies (consistent with evidence-based medicine criteria) which show ivermectin to be clinically effective as an early COVID-19 treatment. If you know of such a study then could you please provide a citation?

The era of the precautionary principle ended the day all the field hospitals closed virtually unused. That should have been the complete end of all mandates. Covid clearly wasn’t as bad as what all these “experts” computer models suggested so there was no reason to continue acting out of such great caution.

Instead governors doubled down. That was the end of “science and data” and the beginning of 2.5 years of stupidity.
I don't know about whether lithium recycling supply chains are better or worse than lithium mining supply chains from an environmental or GhG perspective but there is no doubt a great deal of academic literature on the topic, as there is for all other economically significant metals.
I do however know that the numbers for steel production are heavily in favor of recycling, if that helps.

There are several types of common carriers.

One are transportation companies (including companies that transport electronic communication). The key differentiator between those and social media are that the content is private. So while they have to carry anything, the content of what they are carrying is from one party to another, and the carrier may not even know what it is. So that model shouldn't apply to social media.

The other type are broadcasters, like TV and Radio. But the way those are regulated, they don't have to show anyone's content all the time. They get to choose what content is shown, but also be liable for the content being shown.

But then there are cable companies. Which carry multiple broadcast channels. And they are not liable for the content on the channels they carry, nor do they have to carry all channels. What they do have to do however is set aside some of their capacity for public access. This is how social media should be regulated.

They can choose what channels (broadcasters) they want to carry, and the broadcaster is liable for content. Funny enough, this is already how social media works! The only change would be every social media being forced to add a section that is unmoderated for "public access" in which they would not be liable for the content.

I imagine that would go about as well as you'd expect. It would be filled with child porn, hate messages, and the occasional unpopular political opinion.

FWIW I’ve been using CO pilot now for a while and I have to do very little laying out, usually just from a name and context it will give me 80% of what I want and then it’s much quicker for me to just edit it into the correct form if need be.

It is a massive mistake that Stripe is offering anything in the crypto space as everyone and Stripe knows it is full of fraud, money laundering, scams and it is completely unregulated.

I look forward to the day that Stripe will get investigated for all of the above with this and end up like Paypal, eventually freezing or banning these accounts.

Crypto does not offer anything new at all.

EDIT: It seems Stripe and Crypto apologists have downvoted & flagged my comment since Stripe is somehow a HN / YC darling that is immune from valid criticism even if they venture into crypto scamming, with no usecase that is better than the current financial system.

Crypto is only used for speculating and will eventually collapse under regulation.

@karaterobot

Stripe is no exception here for regulation and will comply by banning accounts if these 'remittances' are fraudulent as the majority of them most likely are.

Even in El Salvador, the country that has adopted bitcoin, merchants aren't using it for payments because they lose money extremely quickly due to volatility, so there isn't a usecase for cryptocurrencies or blockchain at all.
> unclear to me what they gain

It's clear to me! I have an iPhone Pro 13, and I tell you: the Dolby and HEIC formats are a key reason I use the Apple ecosystem instead of Android. The pictures and video I take have a huge dynamic range, accurate true-to-life colour, and have a surprisingly small encoded size. The 4K Dolby Vision HDR video the iPhone takes looks like it has been professionally graded and rarely needs any further touching up. To reproduce it with any other device would require a significant setup of something like DaVinci Resolve and a RAW video workflow.

I don't know if everyone but me is colorblind or what, but it's night & day to me. The Apple + Dolby Vision videos are mindblowingly good, whereas everything I've seen taken by or displayed on an Android device is always incorrect in some way. Blown highlights, oversaturated, or whatever.

Google has little clue about colour, HDR, standards, quality, or anything at all along those lines that photographers or videographers care about. They're still releasing SDKs and entire operating systems with the baked-in assumption that images are always 8-bit sRGB SDR. Then they don't bother color-managing that at all, leading to the inevitable end result of either desaturated or garish color depending on the display panel used.

PS: Microsoft used to be the best of the bunch back in the Vista days, and is now regressing to be the worst of the bunch. In part, this is driven by the need to be "cross platform" and compatible with Google's Android. Only Windows and Mac uses 16-bit linear light blending for the desktop window manager, whereas Android uses 8-bit unmanaged God-only-knows-what-color-space.
Why then have harvard and cambridge graduated such a incredibly large fraction of the worlds most productive and famous scientists and mathematicians? Can you please name the italian universities that have produce at the level of cambridge?
I’ve had both of those scenarios as nightmares several times, although I don’t believe I experienced either in waking life.
I've found that it also sets some really bad habits for the real world, particularly for the types of higher upside / capped downside scenarios that you often see in startups or some of the arts (eg trying to make it big as an actress).
Long ago Mozilla started making all such decisions on mailing lists, because the meetings at water coolers never get documented, and because you can't meet a colleague who lives 10,000 miles away over a water cooler (or at least not very often).
To me, the idea of shutting down Internet via ISPs or international backbones is similar to blowing up your own house with TNT when a robber breaks into it. You stop the robbery, but your family pays the price as well.

Shutting down the Internet will disrupt not only people's communications but also systems' communications at various levels, including the systems of interest of the oppressive, of his/her family or political allies.

It would be so much easier and safer to the group in power to just "maneuver" bigtech instead. I remember when Facebook's general manager in the country I live was arrested[1], then blackmailed, to provide authorities means for them to access WhatsApp messages without confiscating the actual phones. Fast forward today, they are confiscating phones whenever they feel like reading private messages from anyone[2].

I liked how other folks reacted to my original comment posting their technical view. I didn't know DNS was such a weak link and a clear point of failure to the Internet. I wonder if protocols like BitTorrent could survive DNS restrictions, allowing people to communicate via shared text files thrown within a folder. My guess is that since it has survived the copyright crisis back then, it could be used for other crisis as well. Frankly, I'm just suspecting.

Why could you not create a comment block above the code section in question and fold it. All IDE's nowadays support folding, including comment block folding.
To see what a section of code does, you unfold the comment block above it, read it, then fold it back.
Seems more useful for finding bugs in code than for explaining properly working code. "Returns false if the signature matches."
I have these often as well. Had one the other night where I was headed back to bootcamp at 50. Somehow convinced myself in my dream that I could totally do it.

>make the lookup automatable

Yes we should. But there are a few too many systems, and we add and drop systems with such regularity that it would still be a non-stop engineering challenge.

>stop collecting

For the few records we do return as part of GDPR requests, they are usually associated to customer and billing data. I don't know how you run a business without that.

They do and it's collected in the cost of higher product costs.

I think you are mixing up what I am saying - or what that stat was saying.

Firstly, if Walden University produced zero tenured professors it would end up weighting exactly the same in the data as random small private university that produced 10 PhDs that also didn't become professors.

The state does not involve "eliteness". They simply ranked all schools by number of PhDs they produced and took the top 20%.

And fwiw considering this would be about 90 universities Im almost certain every school you listed would make that cut. I guess all I'm saying is that it would be nice to know what percent of total PhDs the same 90 schools are accountable for. My guess is about 50%.
No, my job requires me to have internet while travelling. That means phone companies. It could be solved, but would have a huge impact on my life.

>This would be a terrible precedent. These are private companies, who is the government to tell them how to operate without funding them.

The same argument has been made against regulation since regulation existed. Government should exist in large part to reign in the private market when an obvious public good is at stake.
I am unsure about training (access to, and performance at prestigious phd programs is easy even if you come from a third-tier undergrad), but I don't believe that professors at lower tier research institutes are necessarily less productive.

Probably the most productive synthetic biologist is one at Michigan state: John Frost... with a lab of about six, he's produced in microorganisms within the span of ten-ish years:

- rocket fuel precursor (butanetriol for BTTN), both stereoisomers

- BPA replacement
(phloroglucinol)

- precursor to tamiflu (shikimate)

- nylon-6 precursor (caprolactam)

And probably some others that I don't remember off the top of my head. More famous synthetic biologists have done less with labs of hundreds.
While we are talking about dynamic memory allocation and de-allocation, a useful trick at times is to wrap your mallocator with a bit of code so that you can program it to fail after, say, n allocations, or on a random basis. In a testing context, this can help you systematically explore the set of possible allocation failures to see if the code handles them as expected.
Dang explicitly bans people for posting things which are too damaging to left-wing politicians.

Just today he explicitly editorialized a post title (with a comment explaining why) because it exposed some government corruption; I don't even remember what because it was just so unremarkable and ordinary for HN. ETA: Oh lol it was the same subject as this post, but different title. I guess he let this one get away from him.
I've been logged out of Facebook for like 10 years, and in that time, I've not once needed my FB account to interact with a business.

> Many government agencies announce things through Twitter and Facebook for better or worse

Twitter seems to be the more common of the two there. They should not do that.
I do it from time to time. I like just taking back roads and exploring the countryside and nature. Lots of cultural heritage all over. I'd recommend spring or fall (summer if you stay north/mountains or are a really hot person; winter if you're into snow or stay south).

I don't think there's any particular location you need to go or see if you're road-tripping - but where you go depends on the activities and vibe you like, I guess. The main divide would be mountain/ocean/city. Unless you have particular needs, I'd recommend staying at local ryokans (inns) or guest houses rather than major hotels, especially chains. Same for restaurants.

Cherry blossom in spring and red leafs in fall are great with pleasant climate, but also attracts big crowds and crowded roads. Summer sees lots of matsuri (traditional festivals) and fireworks. NYE's a dozo. If you can, avoid typhoon season in typhoon areas, obv. Kyushu was just hit pretty bad.

Also if you're into that kind of stuff, from late spring to early fall there are a lot of small outdoor 1-3 day music events happening in random places, some of which are great for camping. The stereotype that Japanese people tend to get really dedicated to whatever they're doing has a seed of truth I think, and the same holds for "party people" ;)

(Part of me is hesitant writing all this as I selfishly have really appreciated all the quiet and serenity during the pandemic. But honestly, the local economy really needs some tourism. Please come. Local businesses are struggling really hard. But please do respect the peace and do a quick refresher on local customs pre-arrival ^^)

The thing is, just because it seems as though if the nonsense rules were enforced impartially they'd look like fools doesn't help you because they'll be the ones deciding how the rules are to be enforced.

If you explain "literacy test" voting laws prior to the US Voting Rights Act without that sort of context people imagine well, you send one smart black teacher, they do a few lessons, next year every black person in the town can vote, while presumably many poor white folks can't right?

But that's not how it works, in practice the "test" is whether you're white or not. If you're white you "pass" and if you're black you "don't pass", and if you complain about this loudly enough well, maybe you have an unlucky "accident".
