The uploads may have been in breach of copyright and removed by the BBC. But more concerning are the YouTube uploads (removal requests are available publicly by the Indian state).

A foreign state now has the power to remove content from YouTube it does not like which has an international impact and prevents everyone from viewing it, it's not just geo banned. This is very scary and is not being spoken about. They can censor content on an international scale.

How has this been allowed to happen?
It's a verb.

to stuff - to push something into a small space, often quickly or in a careless way

As in "I am going to try these credentials quickly and carelessly and see if they get me in."
IQ and building "incredible feats of engineering" are separate things.

High IQ is helpful or maybe even necessary to build incredible things. However, many people with high IQs build regular stuff or even nothing at all.

Hey it’s that “threads” link in the header.

You’re welcome.
Do engineers have authority over engineering? Can they overrule management on engineering issues? Whoever takes the authority gets the blame.
It’s going to be both.

But there definitely is an upside for those who separate writing from communicating.
I am strong believe that basics of law should be taught in school, especially criminal.

If governmet will prosecute me for free (to the accuser), then it should, for free, teach me the law.
I find blogs substantially more useful than I did a decade ago. A lot of the noise [1] has moved to social media. What is left is, on the whole, more useful. Simple as that for me.

[1] Noise: cat/dog pics, look what I had for lunch, random half-based political opinions, etc.
A consequence of the current system is that it's impractical for an active user to have long-running conversations. As soon as a comment of mine has scrolled off the first page of threads, i'll almost never see a reply to it.

I would want to be very confident that this was a bad thing before "fixing" it. HN's current culture must inevitably be shaped by this effect. How would it change if it was removed? I'm not sure i want HN to become another forum where pairs of people get into long back-and-forths.

> Almost seems like they're sticking up their middle finger to "the man" for making them post pay ranges.

Attempting to portray Netflix as anything else other than a conglomerate doing it's damnedest to pay as little as possible is disingenuous at best, and astroturfing at it's worst. Since when was Netflix the little guy sticking up to "the man"? Netflix IS "the man".

Lack of pay transparency only benefits one side: the company's.
This begs the question why we don’t allow spaces in identifiers. (We do allow them in file names for example.)

Always have a backup payment processor. PayPal especially, but even Stripe will shut you down or freeze your balance with little recourse.

Amazon killed my parents business by just sheer incompetence and support took a year to get partially back to operation, by which time it was over.

Facebook incorrectly nuked my wife’s Instagram account and hopes of becoming an influencer. No recourse.

Google can ban your account with your email with no recourse. You lose your email history, contacts, documents, etc with no way to login to a myriad of online services.

I’m really low on patience with the big tech companies. I hope the government reins them in.
But the style isn't independent of training data. If you don't feed Midjourney images in that style, it's not going to come up with it independently.
The papers are all based in cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs specifically. I would argue they are in the first category you described. They seem to be descriptive and walk through a problem but there are no experiments or anything, just theorems and proofs. I get lost pretty easily
That contradicts a line in the article (and in the laws that I've read)

> “The laws say you should post the ranges that you reasonably expect to pay,”

If I reasonably expect to pay up to $900K/yr and I find an amazing candidate that I want to pay $1M/yr, I can almost certainly do so without it being a violation of the law.

Yes! I haven't had TV since 1995 (except for a stint with a TV-watching friend) and I have all that ad-blocking stuff. The only ads I see are in public, where I find them extra offensive, and when I visit my parents and ... it's truly astounding. I can't imagine how people put up with TV shows being constantly interrupted like that. What are they paying for?

My brain is definitely better of for the absence of these rent-free occupants, and ... yeah, I only buy things that I need, usually refurbished. Amazing deals are available on previous-generation top-end hardware!
My view on this is that there is little between them so in that case it’s better to look at availability of skills you’d need to take it forwards in the operating region. For e.g. if it’s easier to hire Ruby developers then choose Rails.

I see a lot of people talking about Elixir, etc. on this thread, but I’m based in the U.K. and I’ve never seen a company locally using Elixir so even if it’s really cool, it’d be a bad idea for me to choose it absent a very very good reason. If I choose Django then even if I can’t find a Django developer, I can likely find people who know Python and the barrier to entry is pretty easy.
I do like how there's no "badge" indicating new replies attached to the "threads" link.
Wait, isn't that the Gambler's Fallacy?
The commenter you're replying to submitted the article, I think they were trying to get people to hold off on prejudging it as Yet Another AI Submission by stating that it's actually got a slightly different message than most
It does the same sort of thing for the @ symbol. They, too, look a bit like a lowercase letter 't'.
Probably not. "Credential stuffing" means getting a big list of formerly-leaked usernames and passwords and trying them everywhere. It mainly targets people who use low-entropy passwords or who reuse the same password on multiple sites.
The fact that a guild controls the legal system has always been alarming to me. Its very much in their interests to make it impossible to avoid spending huge amount on their services and reduce supply by making it hard for more people to become members.

Gotta love when you see something change and have no idea why, but you've conditioned yourself to like it.

Well, there are lots of different handwritings. Not everyone writes cursive (especially in the US it seems to be very rare). My own handwriting is something like a hybrid between cursive and print with a few contextual ligatures thrown in.

Than you for proving my point.

My wife and I digital nomad 6.5 months out of the year

I find the tech bubble's "digital nomad" boasting humorous.

I did that from 2006 to 2011. Round-robined between Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and a few places in the U.S. It was called "working."

And it wasn't even new when I did it. My father did it in the 80's.
Doesn't handle accents either haha. My first name has an "é", it shows up somewhere between a straight up "t" (funny that it's the same letter as your "x") or some garbled mess.
Yeah this is one of the huge blind spots in industries where compensation is not in the form of cash/benefits. Discretionary income like bonuses and stock grants are often not included in these laws.

So the pay ranges at companies/industries where people often have the choice between a more cash heavy vs more RSU/Stock heavy compensation can be quite drastic like the one here without actually being incorrect, though obviously Netflix/other large tech companies can be outliers. Other industries that are very bonus or commision heavy can also get away with posting very "weird" looking pay ranges as well.
Back in the day when I thought they were a very good value for quality my significant other and I would go there ALL the time. Date night was splitting a burrito and chips then catching a movie. Eventually when we got married we actually had Chipotle catering for our wedding, yes the wedding.

However, I echo the comments that it's not what it once was. I blame the queso introduction, they went through three versions and still have made a good product which now looks indicative of their larger issues. I sincerely hope they turn it around.
I might not be okay with only garbage data, but data that are correct 60 % of the time may be good enough for some use cases, when it can be had for 1/50 of the price.
> ...as long as you go light on the cheese and sour cream.

Huh? Why do you claim cheese and sour cream are unhealthy?
Shenanigans like this are one more reason we don't hire people residing in CA, CO or WA. I'm totally serious too - residency in these states is a hard next for us. Why you ask? Because we have enough real problems to deal with in business as it is and stepping into a bureaucratic web of this kind can only invite trouble and there's plenty of talent to be found elsewhere that doesn't encumber the company with additional regulatory scrutiny.

We're small fish here but I'd imagine if we're thinking like this, larger companies must certainly be at least taking this into consideration. In effect, this is The State attempting to Price Fix around jobs-of-a-feather. No matter the intention, this is not The States business.

The only possible purpose of making laws like this is so that the state can try to enforce some remedy whereby we're told how much we have to or are allowed to pay someone. Who in their right mind wants to sign up for that kind of risk?

EDIT: When I say "one more reason" I mean specifically CA, its simply not cost effective to hire talent from there. CA taxes and cost of living are such that making a competitive offer to a candidate residing there is simply too costly from a compensation perspective. Plenty of people-talent exists in states with more favorable cost of living and tax schemes.
I agree with the thrust of what you're saying and OP should definitely take the board to someone who will do board rework and see what they say.

But I don't agree with:

>With enough expertise, it's always possible to find and replace the faulty component/wire.

That depends on what's happened. If it's an ASIC or something else complicated and application specific that's died, then the thing is probably toast unless you can find another board that died of a different cause.
Looking at that picture I'm reminded of how sursprised I was (still am!) that they used a picture of an actual bare Hard drive on the desktop to represent the internal disk.

Surely hardly any users even knew what a hard drive looked like outside of the computer case, but there it is on the desktop, seemed like a very un-Apple thing to do.
In a world where Arby's is a thing I wouldn't worry too much about a sudden and permanent uptick in discerning customers.

Also, things don't suddenly collapse like that, there's always canaries in the coal mine. You can start counting how many sesame seeds they use on each bun like Peter Gregory, chase down Chipotle suppliers, keep an eye out on their commodities and quartiles - watch the commodities markets. Heck, Spot check locations and count customers. Buy credit card data. Run surveys. 'etc.

People do that, that's called the smart money. The media and retail investors notice later, who do you think they are buying their shares from before they drop?
Ask HN: Best LastPass alternatives for corporate password management
All signs point to the LastPass situation being very bad. We are looking for a replacement and hopefully one that hasn't built a system that can be so entirely exploited.

Preliminary requirements would be:

- shared secrets and passwords

- 2FA support (both for login and OTP codes)

- individual / team level access controls

- browser plugin support for Safari / Chrome

Would appreciate any suggestions, both for the replacement and for the list of requirements.

I don't think and anyone is saying that using the bot is illegal. The issue is that DoNotPay is calling the bot a lawyer and therefor implying that it gives legal advice. Their website literally says "World's First Robot Lawyer." Someone who doesn't understand AI might wrongly think that their AI tools are qualified to represent them on their own.

I suspect that it would be much less of an issue if it was advertised as an "AI paralegal."
How about companies have to post a histogram / distribution of salaries/compensation for said positions?

I agree that the sort of people who do home repair, car repair, etc. are much, much more likely to put a video together (low friction) than to put up a well-written and illustrated instruction manual.

But I still hate it. The video is always too long, has too much non-relevant stuff in it, and a phone camera jammed under a water pump to see the frobnitz valve or whatever is never as good as an exploded view illustration.

Forget AI-powered lawyers and AI-powered fantasy art generators, let's get an AI-powered technical writer and AI-powered technical illustrator going. Train them on Haynes manuals until you can ask them to generate an accurate repair guide for a Kenmore washing machine.
I created this cursive handwriting OTF font that you can test in a browser (or any other program):

https://certik.github.io/slabikar-otf/

It correctly connects letters and it can do Czech and Slovak accents. It is based on a Metafont source (to be used in TeX) from Petr Olšák, I wrote Python code that reproduces Metafont's Bezier curves algorithm, generates curves as SVG, then calls Inkscape to convert the curve to its boundary, imports back into Python from SVG and then it generates OTF curves and the final font.
I read more blogs than ever, mostly on Substack
So, in the US, the bedrock of copyrightability is creativity. The opposite would be what SCOTUS derided as the "sweat of the brow" doctrine, where merely "working hard" would give you copyright over the result. No court in the US will actually accept a sweat of the brow argument, of course, because there's Supreme Court precedent against it.

This is why you can't copyright maps[0], and why scans of public domain artwork are automatically public domain[1][2]. Because there's no creativity in them.

The courts do not oppose the use of algorithms or mechanical tools in art. If I draw something in Photoshop, I still own it. Using, say, a blur or contrast filter does not reduce the creativity of the underlying art, because there's still an artist deciding what filters to use, how to control them, et cetera.

That doesn't apply for AI training. The controls that we do have for AI are hyperparameters and training set data. Hyperparameters are not themselves creative inputs; they are selected by trial and error to get the best result. And training set data can be creative, but the specific AI we are talking about was trained purely on scraped images from the Internet, which the creator does not own. So you have a machine that is being fed no creativity, and thus will produce no creativity, so the courts will reject claims to ownership over it.

The original file creator doesn't have an issue with DRM anyway, since he has the original file.

The whole point of DRM is to try to restrict non-creators from making copies.

(An alternative that I might find acceptable is DRM that is removed after a short amount of time, but it would require laws with heavy fines on the violator companies that would "forget" to leave it up, and also not plan for cases like bankruptcy. )

I can’t say I’ve had any more trouble with a global menubars on big modern high rez screens than I did on 15” 1024x768 CRTs 20 years ago. In fact the bigger the screen the more annoying I find it for the menubar (or even worse, hamburger menu) to be moving around the screen, because it means that muscle memory doesn’t apply and I’m having to track down a 20px strip or 25x25px button “manually” each time, unless the window is maximized.

As for NeXT style menus, I don’t really have an opinion because with WindowMaker/NEXTSPACE on Linux the only applications that use the floating menu are GNUSTEP ones, so I don’t actually have much experience using that style of menus.

After spending a literal down payment on a house on medical care, fighting with billing departments, collection agencies, hospitals, and specialists, and then getting dropped from my insurance, I rationalized that I was a young, fit, healthy person and didn't need that kind of bullshit in my life.

Five years on, I was blaming myself for feeling exhausted, having fluid retention, perpetual nausea, and headaches, and generally not feeling up to life. I wasn't exercising enough, I just need to focus, I'd been forcing myself to work too much, I wasn't eating as well as I should, etc.

When I finally went to the doctor a few years later, my BP was 220/110. My kidney disease had progressed to CRF 3/4, and the pulsatile tinnitus I experienced 24/7 was the result of prolonged venous reconfiguration, never to fully dissipate.

The "oh shit" moment was at that first appointment when the nurse gave a startled "u-um!" after taking my bp and ran out of the room. The doctor came in and explained I needed immediate care for renal hypertension or I'd probably stroke out before I was in my 30s.

Now I've got permanent vision damage, a lot of atrophy and inflexibility that lead to PT from some really unnecessary injuries, and I'm on a permanently high dose of ACE inhibitors that cause problems if I don't manage my fluids, temperature, and electrolytes. It's been a slow road to discovering my new limits and rebuilding, but on the plus side, I'm now two years in remission and feel like I'm getting better every year. I credit joining Kaiser HMO for their excellent job managing my recovery.
