Two years seems like the minimum they feel they can get away with. They just need to make it seem like they've done "something" to compensate their victims out of fear that if they didn't some regulation will come along that requires that they actually make up for the harm their negligence has caused in an actually meaningful (and more costly) way.

You would have to ask the individual(s) who profess to have been harmed. Claiming "it must be X" and then dismissing X is approaching a straw man.

Restorative justice practices are notoriously antithetical to the adversarial justice system we're used to dealing with. Assumptions we make in adversarial justice systems like open observation to ensure a public check on proceedings are not part of restorative practices. Even "there is one objective truth" are not implicitly part of restorative justice systems.

The existence and practice of alternative justice systems bring to light the mechanical sympathy between reality perception and justice systems. For those who subscribe to an ideology that contains a single objective reality, the idea that not everyone believes the same way can cause an intense counter reaction. I've seen this happen to people myself.

At the interaction between these two, there exists a sliver where we can say, if the book reader didn't want to be beholden to such systems, they could have voted with their feet and chose to educate themselves at a university which practiced a system of justice compatible with their beliefs. By choosing Stanford, they implicitly consented to the system Stanford uses, restorative justice ~et al~ etc.

This is a long way of saying, we may never know the nature of the harm.
it can be done (via eg waiving the 2nd exit trigger and converting to common) but is pretty complicated

Nothing says, "I am deeply knowledgeable about this issue; you should listen to my authoritative analysis of it" like a burner account post.
> Are you suggesting that either all sellers know a) the credit worthiness of their customers or b) don’t extend any credit?

That's up to the business owner, but considering the utter destruction its done to the world I would say most businesses should not extend any credit.

The nice thing about Bitcoin is it's a transaction layer and people can build services on top of it. Someone could start a guarantor business that other businesses pay to verify creditworthiness. They do that already now, the difference being that it's a completely dark system controlled by people with no incentive to fairly or accurately represent your worthiness.
I've been the plaintiff in a case like this in Dutch court where the counterparty first tried to argue that since my code is 'visible to all' a fair use exemption should be granted, when that fell through they tried to argue that they did not take my code from my site but from another site which presumably took it from my site and which didn't have any attribution so that they were free to use it. Then that fell through too[1]. Then they were left with no defense at all and I ended up being awarded pretty much all of their online property.

Judges are far from stupid and a fair use defense requires that you primarily acknowledge that you are in fact infringing but that you feel that because it is fair use you should be allowed to continue to do so. This is a pretty risky strategy, especially when you are a party that is in the business of hosting other people's creative content.

We'll see how it all pans out, personally I think their position would be much, much stronger if they had bothered to obtain consent, even an opt-out email that if not responded to within say 3 months would count as consent (and no: obviously that's not the same but we're comparing the relative size of fig-leaves here).

As it stands I don't see how their 'fair use defense' will hold together under scrutiny without opening a much bigger can of worms.

[1] They had to admit infringement because of their first line of defense, then the fall-back required them to point at the site where they presumably took the code from which they could not. Don't interrupt your opponent when they are making mistakes.

Judges would be absolutely right to punish lawyers or defendants that are bullshitting the court. They are wasting time and resources that would otherwise go towards cases where people are actually representing themselves in good faith.

I'm glad that you formulated this as a question. The answer is no, I presented it value neutral, both by intent and expressed written form.

Now that GGP has a search term, he might soon find out more about the concept and also might admit it into his mind as real and true, as I once did.
It's his job because this sign is in a location where outside visitors will frequently see it and it sends a bad message.
My read is that a standard industry practice (e.g. considering programmers interchangeable pieces and that components should be designed with that in mind) will work in many situations, and therefore the "standard" is reasonable for most of them, but the best practice is context-sensitive; in this case, the context didn't require C++/Java and they were actually not good choices. This was specialized, mission-critical software developed on a tight schedule and swapping programmers in/out of the project simply wouldn't work, so many considerations for choosing (say) Java were out of the question.
Oh for sure, I’m not saying it’s not feasible but I think it’s not unreasonable that people would want this feature to work/sync across multiple devices, and that’s where the much higher complexity comes in since syncing that data reliably using CloudKit seems to be frustrating atm (none of this is my domain at all, just pure speculation based on what I’ve read and recall him saying on podcasts so I could be way off)

Many women struggle with how the set of men that are willing to have sex with them is a much larger set than that of men who are willing to commit to them. The size of the set intersection thereof declines precipitously as women age too.
I don't know about everyone else, but to me programming with just the "subtract and branch if less than or equal to zero" instruction sounds way, way more frustrating than something like the TIS-100. I don't play programming games to be frustrated, I play them to feel smart, and the line between is dangerously thin.

Because sometimes you have multiple, discrete applications which should be isolated, but need high performance (40gbe, optane, huge amount of CPU concurrency, whatever) and don't want to slice up the server for virtualization or run it in the cloud. Or you won't want to manage multiple pgpool/pgbouncer configs. Or you want BGP-based site failover and it's more complex with more clusters, or replicating massive data warehouses/ML data/preprod is substantially faster if it can be a job on the same server instead of replication, or...

ChatGPT is build on GPT-3. GPT-3 was a big NLP development. The paper has 7000+ citations: https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165 It was a big deal in the NLP space.

It wasn't a 'cosmetic' improvement over existing NLP approaches.
The solution I’ve settled on lately is to just run my entire dev environment inside a Linux VM anyway. This solves a handful of unrelated issues I’ve run into, but it also makes Docker a little more usable.
Los Angeles: 19 million people and home to Hollywood. It's to attractive people[1] what Silicon Valley is to nerds (not saying there isn't an overlap).

I think Stanford should be looking into who took the photo and started spreading it. They're the one in need of administrative intervention.
Agreed. My hatred for JS arose from having worked with it in the late 90s/early 00s and it was really painful. I did everything I could to avoid it during the ensuing years, focusing mainly on back-end work.

Having circled back around to it recently due to full-stack work, I'm now also using TypeScript targetting ES2022, and things are much, much better.

I feel that ES6 was a game changer, it really brought about major improvements to the language.
Your politicians will summarize why those things were bad. No need for you to confirm independently, you can trust them.
An artist's style is not copyrightable so I doubt it makes much of a difference. My guess is that showing good faith will make the lawsuit go over easier, because there's nothing illegal about paying someone to copy someone else's style (and not just a replica).
I can agree that being a minority in a small pond can make things more difficult in regards to dating but I don't think that is anyone's fault or that anything should be done about it. I took the person I responded to as meaning that preferring a certain race or ethnicity is a negative thing. Perhaps I misunderstood their intent.

If you tell them you can't lift your arms over your head they're required to just wave you through without a pat down. Or at least this was the case until 2020 or so when I stopped doing this because I would get routinely threatened by TSA employees who were frustrated at how much this exception highlighted what a joke their jobs were.

I would definitely recommend a more active approach. Time goes by, and can come to an end unfortunately.
I think we will see AGI. But for the AI to be robust, it has to interact with the world, even if it is a simulated one. We need to build an AI that knows what a toddler knows before we can build one that understands wikipedia.
You are saying exactly what I'm saying, only with different words. As life goes on, this is a trend I get more and more acutely aware of: people bias, opinion and values make them re-interpret what others say to make it fit in their already made up mind about what the conversation is about.

I was saying that not knowing the law is not a defense yet the laws are so complex that an expensive expert that dedicated all their study to the law is practically (as in, yes, you have the option to not use a lawyer) required in court.

It is not the same for many profession. In no other profession are non-experts expected and required to know the matter.
What a frightening precedent.

I've been a PHP programmer for most of my professional career and switched a few years ago. PHP has a bad name for a long time. True or not, this started weighing on me and I shared a lot of the opinions you wrote here.

People will continue to roll their eyes. Whether deserved is besides the point. I was no longer interested in being a 'PHP programmer' and have to justify my worth. PHP is by all measures on it's way out. If you are looking at other ecosystems of course you're going to find things that aren't great. PHP has those too but in the 15 years you've been doing it you've created habits that perfectly avoid those. You're not going to attain those same skills immediately elsewhere, and the things that are worse from your perspective are going to stand out more than the things that are better.

You've tied your professional identity to a programming language that people dislike. It's not a fun place to be, but trust me you'll be better off in the long run. This has NOTHING to do with language features, and everything with your feelings and bitterness. Your post is full of emotions. It's not worth feeling this way, it's just a programming language.
Pefect. I joined, thank you.
Not the parent, but to me it generally means 1 million (likely non-dev, regular people) users in 5 days.

For me personally: I have had success asking for code snippets and general brainstorming in areas which are not my forte, all the while using a very nice and clean UI.
While a fair point, “practice” is not how these apps are sold or how wellness breathing is pitched. It’s pitched as a direct solution to general stress, which is the issue I have, as that seems far from consensus.

Because of how the placebo effect works, I could do any number of things to feel that “good” effect, and I think that’s important to know.
Dang, garden variety is normalization of extremely victimizing behaviors surrounding an industry?

My posts haven’t been rude or unclear. I never made a sharp or crass remark directed at anybody in particular.

You’re characterizing my dismissal of defensive statements about pornography as inciting a flamewar?

I’ve read the guidelines. I need for you to explain to me in clear and unambiguous terms exactly what I’ve said that is not acceptable for HN and why it cannot be allowed whilst speech supporting an industry that systematically abducts, trafficks, abuses and exploits women is acceptable and not say, garden-variety misogyny.

Curious conversation? This place has a point system, fake names, and a voting mechanic, so, give us all a break with the platitudes.

I’m looking forward to your explanation.

This is a proven dating strategy for around average value men. You present yourself as a provider beta looking for commitment, approach mid 30s to 40s women, establish a bond, bang them, and then ghost and move on to the next one. That sounds like a poor way to live to me, but it definitely works.
Same, I've always liked PHP pretty well (outside shitshow frameworks/platforms like Wordpress, anyway) but actively avoid looking for jobs in it because of the pay and the stigma (which could affect ability to transition back out of it again—thank god I got out the first time before it'd fallen as far in common regard as it has now).

Last time I applied to a PHP shop I killed in the interview, was in the wrap-up where it was totally obvious I was at least a front-runner if not a shoe-in, then watched everyone's faces go white when I named a comp figure. They quickly and politely ushered me out with some "we'll get back to you" niceties. I wasn't trying to be a dick, but after I left I realized I'd probably given a number higher than anyone in that room was making except maybe the owner, and I was not pushing the boundaries of normal comp for a senior dev (what they claimed they wanted in the job listing) in my area. Whoops. Never should have even applied, mea culpa.

[EDIT] Incidentally, this is one reason why it'd be nice if places put comp ranges in listings, and it's why I make sure our notions are at least in the same ballpark up-front, now—I'm never again putting more than a couple minutes into an interview process before making sure we're not irreconcilably far apart on that, since it's a waste of everyone's time if we are.

I wonder if it would be possible to “bake” some of the logic and patterns that emerge from this into a font using more advanced OpenType features.
Kinda, you get a lot of benefits when the children are awake, but they always nap out of sync, so you never, ever get alone time with your partner for a couple of years until they both go to school, which is painful.

When the older hits 4 years old, there are a lot of games you can start playing with them but the younger one might drastically limit that (for example, they destroy board games, while the 4 years one is very into them!)

On the upside, they melt my heart when I see them playing together
Blockchains that do not have a built-in motivation for all member nodes to comply with the protocol in order to keep the data on it secure and reliable, these are the ones that require motivation in the form of a lottery token assigned some speculative value[0]. This is the case for all intentional (and unintentional) cryptocurrencies and cash-redeemable blockchain tokens.

But if there is a motivation inherent to the value of the data itself, for example in the case where a common ground needs to be constructed from a number of otherwise-unaffiliated private or semi-public parcels of terrain, and the usefulness all of the parcels increases through the construction and maintenance of this common ground, then no simple financial motivation is necessary for all of the participants to agree that none of the participants should be the sole or majority custodian of this common ground.

In this case a blockchain can actually make some sense, although it's arguable that it is still a needlessly wasteful way to achieve this goal since blockchain security is derived from triggering a competitive resource arms race between all members, which collectively makes tampering by a non-member impractically expensive to attempt and highly likely to destroy the whatever value or purpose the outsider wishes to usurp even if they succeed.

That said, the fact that this record is being established as an asset on top of a garden variety pyramid scheme lottery token blockchain, tezos, rather than on a club blockchain whose tokens have no presence on any exchange, undermines even this hypothetical and charitable interpretation of this project.

[0] disclosure: "assigned" and "value" in this space mean very different things to a blockchain believer and a skeptic. My username would have the word Block prepended to it if HN allowed a few more characters. So this opinion is coming from someone decidedly on the skeptic side of this issue.
Devils advocate - it may be that Stanford is punishing the act of taking a picture and distributing it, rather than reading the book.

I was thinking of reading Mein Kampf (I've never read it), but I'd never think to pose in front of it.
One weird thing is that it seems like they play a bit fast and loose with the actual meaning of this. Several times I've ordered for "Prime day" because I didn't care and then later got a notification because they just shipped it early anyways. No real complaint per se, but it was still odd.
There are hidden reputation and anti-fraud mechanisms at play in a lot of consumer areas (incentives, reviews, etc.), it would be trivial to apply them to this too.

Most fraudulent activity isn't attacking competitors, as it's prohibitively expensive, but instead propping up their own reputation. i.e. Amazon's fake reviews are mostly five-stars.
Heh, I've seen this same mechanic abused twice recently-- once in a workplace violence claim, and another in a sextortion case.

Rather than make a false accusation against someone (or any accusation, really) you vaguely allude to how they did something that "triggers a trauma response from [your] past" and gaslight/coerce/shame them into admitting guilt ("acknowledging harm"). That settles all dispute over the integrity of the allegation itself and then you can shake them down or litigate at will.

When did it become 1497 again? "You're a sinner! But we don't actually know that you did anything, so you need to confess your sins-- and repent!"
It says almost the same: "How often is a product of this brand in the «XXXX» category returned"...

It doesn't says how often the product I'm seeing is returned. But A product of the brand BBBB in the category XXXX is returned.

I don't know, it is still a useful metric nonetheless. But it is still a misleading title.

A lot of these suggestions sound needlessly complex but I'm probably just getting old.

I'd say either CGI scripts, PHP, or Ruby and sqlite as a DB, all hosted on a single VPS. That'll get you plenty far and be easy to grow out of.
After things were live, my migrations would be backward compatible. It's also possible to organize your tables where most of your data is in private schemas, and public views serve as your apis and versioning. Anything in a public view must be treated as a long-lived API until clients can be phased out.

My userbase was in the dozens at most, so pushing out a version OTA usually was effective to get things moving along.

Worst case, I had some code to check if the client version was too old and would shut it down until they updated.

As per models, what kind of details are you asking?
Mentioned in another post but I think I misinterpreted your statement. Based on the search term, this appears to be a concept held by the incel community. Are you positioning it as true and if so, as a solvable problem or just a fact of life?

Show HN: Peak Gaming – Tournament platform for everyday gamers
Hey HN community!

I'm super excited to shoutout Peak on HN as its a project a buddy and I have worked on tirelessly for the past year or so.

Peak is a service that hosts free, cloud based tournaments for everyday gamers with real prizes and skill based matchmaking.

Our main offering is our "Passive Tournament" system which allows you to have your regular public matches automatically tracked without ever having to manually enter your scores. Basically, you play just like normal, and Peak keeps score.

At Peak, our focus is to make competitive gaming accessible and enjoyable to all.
We’re democratizing gaming to bring the same competitive incentives formerly only available to pro players to the everyday gamer. The driving force behind developing Peak was the current state of esports and competitive play for the regular gamer. Put simply, it's too complicated and the barrier to entry can be super annoying.

Any criticism/thoughts would be incredibly appreciated since we are trying to iterate as best as possible to turn this service into a thriving community of gamers. Feel free to make an account too and check out some tourneys :)
