How is providing a shorter URL not URL shortening? Just because it's not necessarily having to do a lookup?

Wikipedia says:

> URL shortening is a technique on the World Wide Web in which a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) may be made substantially shorter and still direct to the required page

That's what it is.

To me it isn't that horrible process.

You are own a small forum or site. You get DMCA takedown, you take content down and are safe. Send notification to uploader. They disagree. You can put stuff back up. You are not liable for damages after this. And really shouldn't be expected to fight.

Now it is up to the two other parties to fight it out. This is where the system fails, because whole process is long and expensive. But so is any other legal action. Maybe consider fixing that reality first.
Draft NIST AI Risk Management Framework
I’m increasingly of the same opinion as well, but that choice is up to the companies and developers who make the software and if they decide to implement license verification there’s no way to do that reliably within a sandbox (unless of course it’s online-only, but then you get a whole different issue affecting offline users)
> Rust, on the other hand, is a huge, complex language. In my mind, I pinned a lot of this complexity on Rust’s borrow checker and type system. Having worked with Rust for a while, I’d argue that a good amount of this complexity is accidental: when Rust took its first steps, no mainstream language sported a borrow-checker.

Definitely, along with other decisions. It follows the C++ route of unneeded complexity. I think many developers actually like that though. Figuring out how to prove some dynamic trait cast setup to the compiler does have a certain feeling of “doing smart CS stuff” and in my younger days that would’ve been attractive to me.
AI practitioners have no evidence because they can't relate the thing they produced to how humans work. And it's false that scientists have no evidence, they don't have much but some of the little evidence they do have demonstrates that humans don't use statistical processes as the core of human language.
Yes Unions are def market oriented. They Want To Make Money.

More money for the business = more money for their members.

For example in British Columbia where a relic of alcohol prohibition remains in that the government manages liquor distribution and still has some (unionized!) liquor stores, the union agitated to have those liquor stores open on the weekends. The government initially wasn't interested! Union members though wanted more hours and more money and to sell more liquor.
> High capex and no taxes because you don't have any income. And you can still raise money by issuing stock, which goes up in line with your FCF.

With high capex your free cash flow will be even lower than your net income.

And that his like the point of Rust? It put in the spotlight this stuff.

You could see the seeds of Rust from years ago, but having a nice language as the start is just... the start.

Rust do that AND all the other things: tooling and docs and..

So, the thing that will replace Rust will need that, and is likely you will not see any proper* contender in the next 5 years, maybe even more...

*ie: One where it worth to rewrite the codebase. You will see several experiments, maybe a few very good, but consider this: To rewrite from C/C++/.. to Rust have a lot of leverage: C performance, superior tooling, superior error messages, superior docs. Your Rust replacement should be BETTER than that.
So let's say the US tries to extend the sanctions against Russia to China. Comprehensive sanctions like those would blow up the world economy ASAP. So how selective would a boycott on China be ? Huawei has gotten a swift kick, but Chimerica is so much than that.
How the inventor of the troll doll missed out on a fortune
Most innovation of internet and computer-related business come from Silicon Valley, so it seems reasonably clear to me that investors there are doing the right thing. To be honest, I find it hard to name any highly successful EU companies whose main business is internet-based or software-related, at least not in the b2c sector. There are some, but the major players seem to come from the US and more recently also from China.

I've always considered the risk-averse investment culture and bureaucracy in Europe to be a major factor.
I agree. What we have seen over the past decade+ has been asset inflation. This is exactly the same as goods inflation (what we are seeing now), except that asset inflation seems like a good thing at first blush. People want their assets to go up in price. It makes them feel rich. But assets should be priced based on what they return to you in future dollars, and THAT return has been going down and down over the past decade. This is not a good thing.

What is happening now is that asset inflation is correcting and goods inflation (a related but distinct concept) is taking hold.
Well, of course it won't, but it doesn't need to. It also doesn't need to replace Rust. We can all benefit from finding new and improved compromises between ergonomics and safety requirements.

Embodiment is an intellectual dead end in explaining consciousness/sentience. The fact that some pattern of signals on my perceptual apparatus is caused by an apple in the real world does not mean that I have knowledge or understanding of an apple in virtue of this causal relation. That my sensory signals are caused by apples is an accident of this world, one we are completely blind to. If all apples in the world were swapped with fapples (fake apples), where all sensory experiences that have up to now been caused by apples are now caused by fapples, we would be none the wiser. The wide content of our perceptual experiences is irrelevant to literally everything we know and how we interact with the world. Our knowledge of the world is limited to our sensory experiences and our deductions, inferences, etc derived from our experiences. Our situatedness in the world is only relevant insofar as it entails the space of possible sensory experiences.

Our sensory experience is the medium by which we learn about the external world. We learn of apples not because of the redness of the sensory experience, but because the pattern of red/not-red experience entails the shape of apples. Conscious experience provides the medium, modulations of which provide the information about features of the external world. It is analogous to how modulations of electromagnetic waves provides information about some distant information source. Understanding consciousness is an orthogonal matter to one's situatedness in the world, just like understanding electromagnetic waves is orthogonal to understanding the information source being modulated into them.

if I was suggesting that they're right to criticise the EU, I would have said that. what I was suggesting was that "America number 1, everyone else turds" is an extremely normal and expected attitude for a lot of Americans, and not something that I would describe as "odd". you seem to have read it differently
No, it isn't. Looking at the documentation (https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3...), it doesn't mention the firewall anywhere.
TBF, OP didn't make the characterization of "all powerful", rather you did.

The problem is exactly the polarization you've referenced. The red tribe (or at least some extremist segment of it) has decided that attacking trans people is a good thing, rationalized as defending their own values, but really to create an outgroup for their lizard-brain purposes. The blue tribe has correctly characterized this as unjust and unkind... while an extremist segment of the blue tribe has decided to attack anyone who talks about the topic in the wrong context, rationalized as fighting the aforementioned injustice, but really to create an outgroup for their own lizard-brain purposes.

The answer is to openly reject both camps of extremists, regardless of whether one is more aligned with your latent tribe.
Once/if consumers value identity this might change.

If everyone on twitter were paying for verification, I think twitter would be much more interested in defending the sanctity of said system.

This is a rare situation. Most VCs are not interested in a quick exit/entry with a 10x return.

I lift Monday through Friday at about 11 AM each day. One week I will do pressing exercises such as bench press, squat and leg press on MWF and pulling exercises such as deadlift, hamstring curls, lat pull downs on TTH. Then the next week I reverse the days. That way every major muscle group gets 5 workouts over a 2 week period.

I do a few minutes on an exercise bike to warm up before lifting and usually finish off with another few minutes on bike or high intensity sprint on a rowing machine.

I don't eat anything in the day until after that workout. If I am trying to lean out I will extend the no eating until supper and just eat one meal.

> I'm young and rich, and I can't understand why the rest of the world caters to other people than me" is a position, for sure.

I'm certainly not rich. I've yet to earn a salary in any given year that was above the median in my country. I've had to start from nothing and claw my way to where I am today. What I did however see, was that technology was going to dominate life in the future so I invested the money I did have in good quality Apple products, starting with second hand products until I could afford to buy brand new. But you know, feel free to carry on making assumptions about the internet strangers you chat with.

> No matter how amazingly technologically savvy you are, if your smart TV is more than just three years old, it's already running a deprecated browser that in all likelihood never be updated. And nearly all apps on modern smart TVs run in the browser, so yes, companies will have to support that (if their apps run on those TVs. Think Netflix, Spotify, even probably Apple's integration with Samsung).

Not really. Said companies could just refuse to support them and only develop for Apple TV, Firestick and Chromecast. Which would make a lot more sense than spreading yourself thin and wasting resources on each crappy built-in browser made by every TV company. Every time Smart TVs come up on HN the general consensus is don't connect it to the internet, don't update the firmware and use a proper external device for Smart TV functionality. Because TV companies suck at software the same way car companies do.

> As for governments, you assume that it's only "people on benefits" that use outdated or deprecated technology.

No, but you implied that the reason why people couldn't access them was monetary. If people aren't on benefits, then presumably they have enough money to purchase a second hand iPhone or Android that can run chrome for less than £100.

> And you assume that governments will run through acquiring and updating millions of iPads once every few years. Because iPads and browsers on those iPads also get deprecated (a 7 year old iPad Pro while fully functional is no longer supported).

Yes, if it is economically cheaper to do. What do you think happens to the existing computers owned by the government? Are they just never updated or replaced? Are they all still running Windows XP?

The basic truth is that it is simply uneconomical to support everything.

>> Quantitative easing" means issuing new money

Issuing new reserves not new money. New money can then be issued by the counterparties of the Fed’s open market operations The counterparties are the “primary dealer” banks (theres around 30 of them), these are the banks whose reserve accounts at the fed get topped up in exchange for the assets the fed wishes to buy. This is the US model, the UK model is a bit simpler (replace the entire faux market with the BoE’s asset purchase facility or APF).

>> replacing … bonds … with money

this is basically the effect and you did say you were describing a model not necessarily the actual system but i’d be remiss not to point out the model you describe is not faithful to how the system operates

>> The result has been an unprecedented increase in private cash balances

This is a function of both private debt (150% GDP) and public debt (125% GDP) in the US. Private debt in the US is more of less ignored by many economists but we know from history that this is a mistake regardless of the kinds of stories certain macro economists prefer.

>> The result has been a gradual decrease in private cash balances

Too early to say yet. There are signs private credit growth has continued despite increased interest rates, in which case cash balances could be higher.
Peloton’s rapid rise and bitter fall – and its attempt at a comeback
Great example! I think your example exactly points out why PBP of 0 is soo awesome in this case! You can invest $1000 immediately and get another customer in 0 months instead of 10. If they pay upfront again, so you can invest it again and so on.
The lack of ad blockers on mobile is the real sweet spot. I pay for Youtube 100% to use it on mobile/ipad without ads. So even ad-blocking privacy people still see lots of ads if they use these apps.
That's a good point, I had never looked at it that way. But here's my counterpoint: the people willing to pay to stop seeing ads are the ones who are most hostile, and therefore least susceptible, to online advertising. I've been online since the early 90s and I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've intentionally clicked on an ad.
> At least Facebook requires a government ID, and the verification confirms that the person is who they say they are.

But Facebook has already required this for years to run advertisements. So they're now charging for the thing that they were previously doing for everyone for free, making the site less safe and secure.
They state at the beginning of the article that the main service location is a data center in NYC. This is a redundant service location. An outage would require failure of connectivity to his home and to the NYC data center.
It certainly was the handling and the strategy how they'd introduce it. First, they obviously should haven't repurposed an existing badge. Im my opinion, setting a lower price in the 1st three months and openly communicating that the price will increase a bit seems like a choice to get quick adoption. 8$/month is too high when people can't experience the value of it yet.
That is debatable. In the grand scheme of things, politics included, it probably does not really matter. Otherwise, companies not employing this pattern should be at a competitive advantage.
They haven't decided details like this. The actual notice of proposed rulemaking [1] explicitly asks for feedback on this:

> 117. We also seek comment on whether we should establish exceptions...? How often are toll calls or usage-fee-inducing mobile calls
and text messages made to hotlines?

> 145. Are there any potential inconsistencies between the rules that we might adopt to ensure the privacy of calls and text messages to hotlines and other Commission rules or state regulations? For example, would omitting toll calls that incur separate charges from consumers’ bills conflict with our truth-in-billing rules? Are there any other potential inconsistencies? Should we explicitly resolve them and, if so, how? What role might disclaimers issued by service providers play?

It also sounds like the sought some industry comment already and had any "insurmountable" objection:

> 112. ...We note that there is no discussion of such concerns in the record in response to the Notice of Inquiry ... Indeed, neither of the two trade associations representing substantially different segments of what would be covered providers and/or providers of wireline voice service raise insurmountable issues relating to selectively omitting calls and text messages from call and text logs.

I also suspect most domestic volence hotlines are toll free.

Dalle 2 has also been disrupted because OpenAI has heavily nerfed the model, probably by greatly reducing the steps in the upscaler models (Dalle 2 uses diffusion-based upscaler models and therefore very expensive to run), so the images have good coherence but really bad texture, full of artifacts, ironically since the GAN models had the opposite result, very bad coherence and good texture; also OpenAI has introduced very few features and there is no way to finetuned the model as with GPT-3.
Meanwhile, the MJ model outputs extremely good images and SD can be conditioned, fine-tuned, etc. in a really versatile way and extremely good quality (if you know what you are doing).
C uses `declaration follows use` for its declaration syntax. This means that instead of `char* p` we write `char *p`. https://www.quora.com/Why-doesnt-C-use-better-notation-for-p...

Also, "decay" is a terrible way to describe the conversion of arrays to pointers-to-their-first-element. "Decaying" implies permanence and that the array is changing/decaying. This isn't the case. The array doesn't permanently change into a pointer. It is the expression that is converted rather than the array itself.

This article is terrible.
If somebody asks for charity, many people give them charity, because we owe that much to our fellow human beings. If the same person works for thousands of hours, and then says "hey, remember me? I gave you this thing that took thousands of hours to make, and I desperately need money, can I have some?" a large percentage of people will say "fuck you, how dare you try to shake me down for money!"

A slightly more nuanced but equally confounding position is: "I'd give you money, sure, but your license doesn't require it, so go piss up a rope buddy".

I despise "magic" but DI has worked incredibly well for me for years. It almost always "just works". Even my homebrew DI framework I coded up in a couple of days worked extremely well. They're not that complicated. If you only have one instance of each object type it works nicely. If you need multiple then you need a bit of magic to pick one but even that isn't bad.

"imgur will never have ads"

Still kind of upset that that immediately obvious lie back in back in 2009 paid off.

One has to take into account the historical and cultural background of such laws. The analysis of public and personal data by the government in a massive scale was also part of that cultural and historical background.
This is a good take and under appreciated generally. Already theres an identifiable generic flavour to much AI art. Just knowing that it’s AI generated makes it feel somewhat lifeless. Not because of the end product is lacking , but because of the awareness of the production method. it’s less engaging if you know a machine spat it out, especially once you recognise and become bored by the stylistic markers that indicate machine generation.
That will play into the spending calculation of, for example, advertising agencies, particularly high end brand work.

> Why not utilize the ingress/egress firewall rules offered by nearly all cloud/vps providers instead of relying on iptables of an instance?

Because its advantageous to use all the facilities your OS provides. The fact that docker bypasses the highlevel firewall on the system and pokes holes through via iptables is very unfortunate, and something I myself have learned as recently as 2019.

Related to your question about docker knowing which interface to bind to, it generally sets up it's own docker network interface. With a highlevel firewall it's trivial to attach that interface to any firewall zone created (eg public zone with only specific ports exposed).
