Really weird. The only things I can tap into are the splits and the route map. I can scroll the heart rate over to recovery as well. I’m on ios 15. I wonder if it’s the workout type? Outdoor Run, Open Goal is what I’ve used for years now.
> The question is - why should you have a right to spread _my work_ for free? I spent almost 2 years on writing the book. I hope you have a good answer.

My answer to this is that authors (and other creatives) should have a right to recoup the costs (including time) of their efforts, but currently the time period for doing so is ridiculously (too) long.

We're talking decades:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries%27_copyright...

In the US, the original copyright term was 14 years, and if the author was alive after the end of that there was another (optional?) 14 year extension:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright_law_of_th...

Later, the initial period was set to 28 years, with an optional 14 year extension.

IMHO, if one couldn't make a go of one's work after 2+ decades, then other people really should be allowed to have a kick at the can.

You were not remotely alone. Dissatisfaction with Linux by professionals at the time (surrounding 2005) was more than enough to counter Linux's growing popularity, verve and momentum. Hard to believe that they actually caused Big Blue to act immediately and stop their premature global Linux deployment and their massive Linux marketing campaign cold. This proved to me, at least, that IBM was still alive, and did, in fact, if surprisingly, listen to their customers.

Not comfortable sharing for PTSD reasons. However, if you're interested, some people reached out back to me with apologies. For example (auto-translated to English):

Good day. Roman, my name is Alexander. Once a book was stolen from you and posted on the net. People then divided into two camps, some sympathized, some did not, for various reasons. I belonged to the second category. I wasn’t happy, but at the same time I didn’t sympathize. I considered that price too high, and then for some reason it seemed to me that the book itself was not for the sake of being useful, but solely for the sake of profit. Although, even then I believed that work should be paid.

Then I released a few comments, I don’t remember exactly the content, perhaps boorish, I don’t think so. You then blocked me in the Telegram and chat, said, for the lack of empathy on my part or something like that. I think you misunderstood me, and perhaps I expressed my thought incorrectly. After that, I left a couple of caustic comments on the forum.

I somehow forgot about that situation, but then I came across your videos on YouTube and remembered. Thoughtful. Damn, I myself got into similar situations, which made me so hooked on that price list ...

In general, I was wrong and I apologize if I somehow offended you. Of course, you have the right to ask as much as you like for your work, and the buyer has the right to agree to the conditions or refuse.

Sorry friend. I wish peace.

To quote the state owned russian news agency:

> "Repeated case of interference of the Bank of Russia into implementation of the budget rule in terms of foreign currency purchases means that the floating currency rate regime existed from the end of 2014 until early 2018 is ‘only on paper now’ and is actually substituted by regulation of the currency market by the Bank for Russia for the purpose of eliminating threats for financial stability, jeopardized by the budget rule effect,"

This was 4 years ago, and is even more so true now. The ruble at the moment is NOT free floating.
Very applicable to programming as well.
I remember running the official app in Windows 95/98 that ran in the system tray showing Internet Time. I can't say that I used it once for anything ever, but I really liked the novelty of it back then.
For people with mobility issues or disability this could be of great benefit if it does what is suggested. I had a work place knee injury which required reconstructive surgery ( not replacement) and am now considered disabled. I also have Fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. I can not use a treadmill, cycle or do much in the way of weight training. So this has lead to a much more sedatary life....and all that comes with it. I'd be very interested in finding a professional or research project to volunteer as a test subject!

I think there's a distinction between vocational materials (your book is one I should absolutely have to pay for - which is why many places of work have an education budget) and literature. I don't quite know what, though.
Wtf?… this is the most alarming statistic I’ve ever heard. Why is their estrogen in our drinking water, why does birth control put estrogen in our drinking water and where the fuck is the other 99% coming from?
The flipside: why should people everywhere in the world be asked to give up a large portion of their discretionary income to get access to educational materials that can be reproduced at zero marginal cost? What is the loss to society as a whole when we make pointless time sinks like Netflix and social media free but college textbooks unaffordable to many?

The internet allows us to give everybody on the planet access to world-class educational materials at practically no cost. This is so obviously a good thing for society as a whole that we should strive to see this future materialize. Yes, some authors will lose income, but society as a whole gains greatly when we fight artificial scarcity.

For what it's worth, I think authors should get compensated by some other means, especially when they write great books. But artificial scarcity isn't the answer, it never is.

(The current model is also unfair to authors because book sales follow a power-law curve where a handful of authors take practically all the winnings)
A single consistent way to synchronize time is handy when you don't know where the other party is, and it's rare to not know the other party of a conversation is without the internet.

Little odd for a columnist to be giving advice on social dynamics at work given she likely professionally only interacts with an editor and gets to be highly expressive in her professional work. Also, while I might be wrong, appears she might be against diversity, equity, and inclusion in workplace - if true, unclear how that’s okay.
These are theoretical claims and i don't agree with them. And yes we can philosophize all day long.

But let's look at an empirical fact: We've seen how easy access to capital(some to investors, some to buyers) has created a global real-estate bubble.

Creating easy access to capital for real-estate investments is excatly what this startup does, so the results should be the same if this becomes common.

Good point about needing to plan for both halves of the wave. That's especially true for my capacitor suggestion. Last time I designed something (trickle supply) with line rated capacitors, the DC component was a zener which has that built in.

My line capacitor suggestion was really just to get one started thinking about an actual circuit design for longer term. A 1/4 W resistor in serious with line voltage works fine on the test bench, but for longer term non-attended usage I would think about the various ways things could go wrong. And if you're going to spec a special resistor, then you might as well spec a special capacitor instead.

If I had to guess about why the LED wasn't destroyed, it's because the reverse breakdown voltage is low enough that significant heat does not build up in the LED. A reverse avalanche isn't necessarily destructive.
I asked pretty much the same question at the time because it seemed like 'backed up with data' is a bit of a stretch. The answer then was 'it's actually not backed up by data'.

Why not? Disability benefits always have this problem. The UK did a massive effort some years ago where everyone claiming disability was re-reviewed, because there had been a constant run of stories in the press and complaints to MPs about people claiming it fraudulently. There were people who were claiming they couldn't leave the house who were caught going on foreign vacations, people who were acting like they couldn't walk who were caught on CCTV outside the assessment center walking perfectly healthily and so on.

Where there's free money, there will be people who find ways to get it. Was ever thus.
Doing that seems insane instead of just fixing the root problem.
Those are good arguments against the length of the copyright, but not copyright itself. I assume the author got their book pirated in short time (shorter than 14 years) after release.
So sado-maso kiss discussion on lvalue scope being at same or different scope as rvalues is still a thing.
Even truck mechanics, cooks, and the like have plenty of opportunities to see missile launches.

EDIT :

Missiles are far faster, and crucially, are on fire from the ground up. They go much straighter and produce much more consistent light than a burning half-plane, which is not capable of ascending anywhere close to vertically. They also make drastically different sounds, as one is supersonic and the other very much is not.

They really do look and sound very different. I would expect someone who has seen and heard dozens of launches of that exact missile to be able to make it out quite easily. There are plenty of videos of that online and the difference is quite obvious. Especially someone who is used to this exact model of missile would be able to tell them apart.
I think a major advantage of these online libraries is that many books go out of print, and these archives are often the only way to read them. Some books on Permaculture come to mind...
Yeah exactly. Even at meal times here in Spain most people drink zero by the way.

It's even more of a thing now that the Spanish government restricted airconditioning to 27 degrees (80 degrees Fahrenheit) which means that bars are really hot now (the AC setting is 27 so a full bar is much hotter than that). And I often actually drink because I'm thirsty. Taking that much sugar in is really a bad thing.
Amazing that people shit on France when the have been providing and exporting nuclear energy for 40 years. Saying that nuclear plants don't work is just idiotic when at any point you can look at CO2 intensity and France is always among the very best, and the best for a country so industrialized. And not just in the last 5 years, but the last 30 years.

And the only reason nuclear plants in France have been down this year, is because as always in the last 30 years, the French Left attempted to kill nuclear and starting in 2015 started de-prioritizing it.

And those plans will soon be online when the maintenance is done and then continue to provide green energy for decades.

The failure in France was to try to get away from nuclear and stop building new plants. Instead starting to use more and more gas.

France had amazingly advanced nuclear plants ready for to be built in large numbers to secure the future. But guess what happen, the French Left (with Greens) killed these programs.

French nuclear works fine, and has been for 40 years. Had other countries acted like France we would be in a much better situation now.

And I for one would prefer some temporarily offline plants rather then breathing lots and lots of coal dust.
It seems like I'm permanently in some sort of dystopian nightmare 'unpopular opinion' group where wasting two thirds of my monitors useful space is the right way about doing things.

I have monitors either side of my primary in portrait mode specifically for looking at a bunch of code/text and it still wastes at least half of the useful display area.

I have a question about the relationship between the "simplified transistor" animated gif and the "Simplified AND and OR gates, using transistors" animated gif here:

https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/and-o...

The image in the URL above represents two transistors in each gate type, where the transistor is shows as a circle with 3 rectangles in it. Is my understanding of this relationship correct if I assume the following?

The line labeled "input" in the animated gif maps to the gate in the transistor.

The line labeled "output" in the animated gif maps to the drain in the transistor.

The line labeled "voltage" in the animated gif maps to the to source in the transistor.

In other words gate equates to input, the output equates to drain and voltage equates to source and the distinction between these is really whether we are talking about the transistor or a circuit(gate) made up of those transistors?
The linchpin of your argument seems to be that we need to believe the official reason given, and that the CIA would never lie to the American public.

That sounds naïve to anyone with even a passing familiarity with American history.
Believe me, I'd love it if people cared for nature. But, people tend to choose having kids and keeping those kids out of poverty before they choose nature. And, having kids requires economic activity, unfortunately.

100%. After I'm done with my last draft I always read the whole thing loudly, and end up changing at least a word or two in every paragraph. Usually it's the small stuff - eg. using "he instead went" instead of "instead he went" because my brain expects a sentence a certain way that "flows" well and I've written something else.

I use NixOS, but GuixSD users might find this option useful.
They run standard Ubuntu 20.04 and can be upgraded to 22 or whatever else comes along.

Standard AMD Ubuntu driver (21.50.2.50002, but can be upgraded as well). Heavily modified the AMD packaging to minimize it to just the necessary files because these iPXE boot (sadly, still around ~60megs).

The bigger issue is that they don't have any onboard persistent storage (could be added, but the speed is limited to about 500mbit/s) and they are only gigE.

Running strictly from memory, they are also prone to memory corruption. Odd, I know, but I see it at the scale we operate. Thus, they need to be treated as interruptible machines. Reboot to running is about 60s.

So, quite a few limitations, but still good hardware, if we can find a good workload for them.
>We need more nuclear power plants

They're 5x more expensive than wind and solar and about 2x more expensive than a wind+solar+pumped storage combo.

In France their capacity factor has declined to ~72% which is only about 5% above the best wind farms.

What's the up side? I dont see it any more. It's an overpriced means of generating electricity that is slightly less variable that has a lead time of 19.5 years more than a solar farm.
I think you are reading way too many one sided sources.

The Russians are selling more to China and India since the war. The higher price of gas means in the short run they are making more money.

Yes, some sanctions might be annoying, in the way a mosquito is annoying to you, but basically nothing europe has done has really had an impact. (Most weapons have come from the US).

So while parts of what you say is true, frankly the situation is terrible for Europe, quite bad for Russia, and pretty awesome for the US
Static site generators require a headless CMS and all the headless CMS I tried are much harder to use and way less flexible then WordPress.
This isnt true. They dont want do die for their own ambitions. Cars on Finland/Georgian borders have marks from ripped off Z stickers. The meager protests across russia with usually more press than protesters arent about the war but mobilization. War was perfectly fine as long as someone else was fighting it. This is very dangerous because russia might internally sell using nukes as saving lives of true russians.
I recommend Fastmail as well.
If there were collisions, I think they were probably accidents. For one, deliberate collisions would risk the loss of the American submarine too. They weren't built for ramming.

Secondly, the circumstance of an accidental collision seems very believable. Such collisions would not have been freak accidental encounters; the main mission of US attack subs at the time was to tail Soviet ballistic missile subs very closely and not be detected. The Soviet submarine commanders had some inkling of this, and responded by making erratic maneuvers to "clear their baffles" (essentially, look behind themselves, where their sonar was otherwise blind.) Trailing an unpredictable submarine very close is inherently risky. I think the blame falls on the circumstance of the Cold War itself, which compelled both sides to believe their actions were necessary.

Gmail has always had a limit on free storage quota. At first it was 1GB, then it was 5GB, currently it is 15GB. So I'm curious how much data we are talking about and whether you have considered the $2/mo 100GB plan.

Personally, I am paying $17/mo for YouTube Premium that gives everyone in my family ad-free YouTube, unlimited music, and 100GB of storage for our gmail and other files. It seems like a pretty square deal considering.
There is one; you drag the app into /Applications to install it, and you drag it into the Trash to uninstall it.

The "problem" is that 3p developers don't want to get with the program, and insist that the only possible way to install their magic sauce is to spam files all over the system. And that therefore there must be a super-complicated set of add-on tooling to deal with tracking all these files and their dependencies.

It's job security, of a sort, I guess.

Show HN: Outstatic an open source CMS for Next.js
Hi,
I've been working on a new project for a couple of months and I'm close to launching it. It is called Outstatic, I created a landing page for it. Sing up to the waitlist to be notified when it comes out.

Features include:

Open source
Host for free
Keep your data
5 minute setup (5 minutes to live!)

The CMS was built with Next.js and uses Github and Vercel as its main hosting platforms. Full site with examples and documentation coming soon.

Feedback on the idea and the current landing page is appreciated. Thank you!

evolve into what? just ask your self what changes are needed to the virus that will maximize it's spread.
Checks, wire transfers, and cash are all still in play.
It’s pretty tightly linked. Lots of loans don’t happen when interest rates go up. On the consumer side , car loans, mortgages , etc. on the biz side, capital loans and lines of credit. All of this significantly reduces purchases and money in our pockets, thus putting downward pressure on gdp and demand.
Ah yes, Friedman, one of the Chicago boys (same people who happily worked with Pinochet) and proud Anarcho capitalist. Kinda invalidates anything he might argue for, to me.
> Congress and the Fed caused the M1 money supply to 5X in just a period of two years.

Oft-repeated, but incorrect. The way M1 is calculated was changed in 2020, and the apples to apples comparison is actually a little bit less than 2X.

Libraries are part of a balancing act between spreading knowledge and keeping incentives for writing books high enough that people actually do it.

Libraries purchase books, increasing payment to authors

Libraries have a limited quantity of books and check them out for a limited time, making them inconvenient compared to purchasing a book. For very popular books this means there's a high incentive for people to buy rather than wait to be able to check them out.

Libraries carry a limited catalogue, particularly for highly technical books. This means that for very niche and valuable books the market allows books to be sold at the higher prices necessary to sustain incentives.

Digital libraries destroy this balance. The content of books is available to everyone, instantly, at maximum convenience.
