I've worked at the same place for years, and they switched to Teams a couple of years ago.

I can't change their decision, but I can work for somebody else, and having to suffer through this crapware is pushing me in that direction. "Must use Teams" is a huge red flag for any potential job offer.

Is the copyright still not applicable if your encoding table has rules to reconstruct text from? No serious person would argue that copyright doesn't extend to the encoded version of the book and prevent me from profiting off it.

I believe the same applies to AI generation of text/images. Just because you're encoding the data in statistical models doesn't mean that it's not encoded.

I think this will be hard to prove. The Declaration is easy to find and read (it has its own DNS name). Is there a right to hear a message along a particular channel?
Very approachable introduction to this data structure.

The assembly implementation, though, reminded me of the stone soup story. Where a stranger is boiling a rock in a pot of water, and the townspeople intrigued by the idea of stone soup bring various ingredients to add to it and everyone is shocked that "stone soup" could taste so good.

The "Go" implementation ends up being pretty much all assembly by the end, in an article supposedly about a fast bitmap index implementation written in Go.
Which intervention did they shut down discussion of, and how many lives would have been saved if the public had heard about it?
There nationalistic tensions that existed since time immemorial, which were suppressed by a state with a powerful state security. Once the state vanished, the hell broke loose.

Same thing happened in India, btw: once the British went away, religious and nationalistic tensions erupted violently.

I'm not aware of any colonialism that far magically appeared in 1990 in USSR/Russia. If you are referring to Ukraine conflict, this is not colonialism, just a regular conquest attempt to score points with some subset of public, which is going disastrously bad. Small victorious wars are always like that in Russia.

Regarding racism, it is nonexistent in exUSSR/Russia. Internet users like to use big words like racism and genocide left and right to label things they don't like, but this will result only in diluting the original meaning of the word. Sure, there are tensions between people of certain nationalities (Armenia/Azerbaijan, Tatar/Bashkir, some others), but it has nothing to do with racism.

Apple should change the rules to reject apps that try to open links in an in-app browser instead of sending the user to Safari.

Maybe as a workaround let Meta put up their own browser on the app store and make it possible for a user to choose to let let the FB app send links to the Meta browser for someone who really wants this behavior.

But don't allow the FB app to do this with no way for the user to stop it.

Chrome for iOS seems to exist for exactly the same reason, to provide a way for google to track users.
One issue they face here is that for most flights, the time wasters aren't what happens once you are in the seat of the plane. It's everything that happens before that at the airport.
>probably totally follows apples rules.

I've only ever used Android, so I'm ignorant here to how iOS operates and, to a certain extent, the rules Apple has in place around this sort of thing. I would think, though, that this sentence is key:

>The Facebook app gets around Apple privacy rules by opening web links in an in-app browser, rather than the user’s default browser, according to Wednesday’s complaint.

If FB is supposed to follow iOS settings by opening links in the default browser set by the user, but is intentionally not doing that here so that they can maximize the data they collect, then yeah they'd be breaking rules.
There is zero chance that FB/Meta is complicit in this. The occam's razor answer is that the Iranian government has figured out an attack, and a bunch of FB employees are frantically trying to mitigate it instead of reading HN.
The relative merits of terrible advice aren't particularly relevant to the question of whether the US government has a constitutional responsibility to not goad private companies into pushing or being hostile toward any specific viewpoint or communication. This is a bit like the "nobody deserves encryption because child pornography exists" court cases in that the specific details of someone being horrible are masking the much larger legal principle that's at stake.

Personally I'm not sure where the line between "public announcement" and "government censorship" lays or should lay, but "the government can do whatever it wants as long as its opponents are shitty people" is not a good outcome.
Maybe if it was recently resubmitted and already had a discussion (usually a mod will mark the newer as dupe) or recently submitted multiple times without getting attention (since at this point it becomes spam). But if recent submission was long time ago (so older thread is basically archived), it makes sense to be submitted anew.
If someone asks me to make/paint/draw a picture of a 'frog holding an umbrella under a rainbow', I would be basing my new work on all the 'art' and images that I have seen in the past. I might even search for related content on the internet for inspiration!

So long as I don't copy a previous, copyrighted image 'too much' (this is fuzzy and maybe should be quantified legally in our bright, digital future), I can claim copyright on the new image.

Since, so far, non-human things are not allowed to hold copyright, a human can claim copyright over works created by non-human things, that the human owns or controls. It's even easier to reason about if the human and non-human thing 'collaborate' on the final creative product. So, if I fiddle around with my inputs (prompts) into Super Diffusion Power Plus Gold Edition, then we (the software and I) collaborated. And I own the output that I chose (curated) as the best one.
I often find the "spent two days setting it up exactly the way I want it" means they've tweaked so many things those users didn't fully understand into incompatible setups which causes a lot of that friction, while those who just roll with mostly the defaults have much smoother sailing.

Forcing the square peg into the round hole often results in extra challenges. Sometimes its just easier to use the round peg, even if its not perfectly what you'd like.

I tend to just roll with the defaults and only change settings when I really need to. I tend to experience a good bit less friction than a lot of my coworkers who flip every switch into something other than the default.

> You essentially say that the predicate only exists once it has been created, but I say it has merely been given a name to reference it.

I don't see how this distinction makes much of a difference. Does a predicate exist if no human is thinking about it?

Before anyone defined the problem for the first time, the problem didn't exist and therefore it couldn't have properties. Unless I was salesperson with a singularly mathematical mind, I would not try to solve the problem for every possible case but just for the particular set of cities that I traveled through. And if I happened to be a rural Chinese, [1] ;-) I may well be able to solve my problem in polynomial time. NP-completeness is a property of a family of problem instances, so it matters only when you are studying the whole family, even though it may affect any particular instance (or not).

[1] i.e., there may be subsets of the general problem that may be solved in polynomial time, and my particular instance may belong to that subset. See Rural postman problem and Chinese postman problem

https://kups.ub.uni-koeln.de/54671/1/rep-92.113-koeln.pdf

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_postman_problem

However, let's assume that we have defined the problem in its general terms. So, does the property of being a hard problem exist as soon as you state it, as an inescapable consequence of its formal definition, even before someone starts to study its complexity? I'd say absolutely yes, and if that's what you mean saying that the property 'exists', then we are on the same page.

> Maybe you can come up with a formal proof why a predicate can only exist once it has been formalized for the first time?

Yest, I think I could do that if I tried. I also think that I could do the opposite if I tried, showing that any predicate exists from the start of time, just waiting to be discovered.

You see, the problem with formalism is that the theorems that can be proven depend completely on the assumptions you incorporate when defining a specific formal system; therefore, I can orient the reasoning towards one conclusion or the other as I am interested, as long as it does not incorporate a set of axioms and rules of inference that produce an internal contradiction.

Formal systems are most valuable because they allow us to get rid of inconsistent assumptions in our reasoning, not necessarily because those statements correspond exactly one-to-one to entities in the real world.

FWIW in our use case of non-GPU instances they launched way faster and more consistently on GCP than AWS. So I guess it is complicated and may depend on exactly what instance you are launching.
Yes, I understand why Apple doesn't pull FB/IG/WA/Uber/etc but as a smaller developer it's incredibly frustrating to have the full rules applied to me but not the big players.

A week or two ago I had to fight with app review over some functionality that was behind a login screen (they thought it should be public, I disagreed) and for my pre-permission-request screens (you know, the screen almost every app shows before firing the system prompt). Turns out you can have that screen but you can't ask a question on that screen or offer a way to dismiss and not get the system dialog. That was news to me since I had seen countless "Do you want to enable push notifications (yes|no)?" screens in top apps but that rule has changed and no longer allows you to pre-ask. I complied but the very next day I opened an app from a billion dollar company and I got a pre-ask that I was able to dismiss without popping the system dialog. wtf...

Why am I expected to bend over backwards for app review when these serial abusers get a free pass (no ban AND they can do things smaller apps get slapped down for)?

I know the answer is "money" but I fucking hate it.
Eh, if they're going to do that I'd rather they just force developers to use normal Safari for external links. It'd be easier to verify and I'd get to finally keep my cookies and not log in to news sites for the 100th time.
> they ended up killing a lot more people than they saved.

That's a strong claim in need of support.
> Why fiscal policy and not zoning laws or something? Why would giving money to developers lead to zero inflation?

The fiscal policy is meant to be a one-time, short term boost to the exact items that is causing CPI to go higher. The fiscal policy is meant to be timeboxed. A zoning law is a much more long term thing.
"What is fundamentally different with this is how it is now government mandated [emphasis added]."

I can't find any government mandates of censorship that your comment complains about. This article is about how the administration said that Facebook was killing people by spreading misinformation, and the company felt shamed into changing what posts it promotes and how it tags them, realizing that doing so would also be more profitable long term. The government has said bad things about a lot of companies and has done so since its formation.

Steam did not pioneer these things. They were a thing in MMO's since around 2000, then rose to ridiculous properties in the early 2010's with Facebook (farmville) and mobile (clash of clans) games. The current spat, I believe, started in 2016 with Overwatch, quickly followed by the series of "live service" games like Fortnite.
American humour is it's own thing and I never understood why they ever attempted to remake things 1 to 1. I started watching the US Office a few seasons in and for a long time never realised the early episodes were so misguided. I think having independent versions of The Office tailored to each country would have been a fantastic concept.

There was no indication that they could've uprighted the kayak under their own power (we can only speculate). The person didn't look like a happy camper afterwards.

> A big thing with Japanese folk tales that is a bit of a jump for people with a European perspective is that they have no moral lesson.

I would argue that's not the case as there are plenty of morally naturalistic European works (e.g. Alice in Wonderland, upon which Spirited Away, among other anime, is based) just as there are plenty of morally didactic Japanese works. The movie may not be as blatant as an Aesop. It's certainly layered with subtext, but it's also a much simpler picture than most make it out to be.

There is a lesson, and it's one given in the form of a command by Hakku towards the film's end:

"Leave...and don't look back."

Chihiro's (and the audience's) lesson is to move forward in life, just as she's done up to that point. If you recall, the movie begins in media res as Chihiro is being driven away from her soon-to-be-former hometown. She looks sullen as she fidgets in the back of her father's SUV while clutching a bouquet implied to have been recieved from a friend or wellwisher in an attempt to hold on to the past. Despite being on the road for at most a few hours, she already misses whomever and whatever she and her parents were leaving behind. She's clearly frustrated by what seems to be an unneeded change in her life.

Throughout the movie, she faces one resentful change of circumstance after another. A change almost always inflicted upon her by an authority figure. As she develops a greater sense of agency, she takes it upon herself to change her own circumstances, and eventually the circumstances of almost every character she comes across including said authority figures.

The point of the movie is that things will change whether it's for the worse or the better, and you can either be swept by the river of events that is life or set your own terms and act accordingly. That's not to say that the latter choice will always bear desirable fruit, especially without a prepared plan. Such a choice can horribly backfire even with planning and preparation. Nevertheless, one should refrain from abdicating one's will in the pursuit of a goal. Instead, one should, inasmuch as one can, choose and direct the path that will take one forward.

Unless you are expecting devs to copy paste a tonne of info into commit messages, it's way easier to just put the god damn ticket number in the commit title.

If you really need to commit something with no ticket, just have a dummy ticket placeholder like DEV-0000.

99/100 it's just laziness on the devs part... It's way easier to add a ticket number than write super detailed commit messages, and every case of missing Jira numbers of seen, there has never been a detailed commit message in its place... /Rant over
> There is such a thing as facts and truth

I’m sure being extremely condescending and dismissive works wonders for turning people towards your politics. That’s basically the left winger stereotype response to everything (that plus “just trust the science”).

Another stereotype of left-wingers is conveniently ignoring facts and truth as soon as it becomes uncomfortable and challenges their narratives.

Your tolerance for ‘facts’ is more see-through than a pane glass window, and this cognitive dissonance is exactly what drives people to the right. Just look at Sweden

That already happened, eg, COVID policies on social media and YouTube.

We had a breakdown in our consensus mechanism — because the government partnered with corporations to censor rather than allow public debate.

The net is that a criminal like this is someone who makes a conscious decision that other person's life or property (which is also in most cases life via time spent working) don't matter, the only thing that matters is that they want something, be it money in this case, or sex/power/... in case of violent crime. In this case the only possible excuse is that it's a kid whose brain maybe sorta is not fully formed. On the other hand, while for some crimes you could argue about making bad snap judgments, etc., and for other cases you could argue that your victims are far removed and abstract so you don't grok the above decision as well (shoplifting from a chain store is a good example for both); for something like SIM swapping, with extreme level of planning and foresight, aimed at a specific individual, I personally accord a person continuously making this decision zero moral value.
Yep. I regularly drive 46 miles to visit my wife's family. The roads are long and straight, and the speed limits quite high.

We get passed on the highway when we're doing 120km/h. I don't imagine you can maintain those kinds of speeds on account of speed limits and winding roads. Possibly takes an hour or three?
