It's more complicated than that - recordings have copyright independent of the original works, so if you make a recording of Bach now, you have copyright over that specific recording even though the music itself is out of copyright. So if someone were to file a takedown request of someone playing Bach on piano on Youtube on the grounds that you had used a recording owned by someone they were authorised to act on behalf of (even if you hadn't used that recording!), that wouldn't be perjury. But if they were to make the claim that they were authorised to act on behalf of Bach himself (which, clearly, they're not), that would be perjury.
I was ok with that except all the way through the words “product design”, because I do think that’s a fair thing to collect data for… but it kind of went off the rails after that.
I applaud you for using the DMCA for good. You're doing good work, and please keep doing that. That doesn't mean that the DMCA can't also be used for evil, though.

It would be nice if it could only be used for good, but maybe that's impossible. It may also be possible to replace it with something more specifically tailored to take down revenge porn. I certainly think revenge porn is far more serious than a mere copyright violation.
> Those big platforms really got to go.

I mean, you say that, but... what is the alternative? YouTube is the host of some of the most valuable content on the internet, in my opinion, and some (some!) of the most valuable content produced by humanity. And it allows anyone to access it for free, with incredible technical specs. This is a non-trivial problem, and incredibly expensive.

Sure, I dislike that they play around with features that I think are valuable. But given everything else I get from YouTube, I'm not exactly complaining, and for sure I wouldn't wish them gone without having some idea of what could replace them (and I don't think that exists).
It is indeed :) I upgraded mine to the VKB Gunfighter Ultimate, as it allows for much less stress on your arm and fingers, but kept the Throttle.
I think there's more to it than that. "Lazy" implies that you don't have a reason for not doing what you ought to do. For example, I might not do something for a myriad of reasons:

- I might have more important things to do

- I might be ill

- I might be missing some prerequisite

- I might be resting because I need my energy for something else

- Someone told me not to do the thing I ought to do

In all of these cases, I'm not doing what I ought to do, but I'm not lazy. Lazy implies that there is nothing preventing me from doing what I ought to do.
> The answer to your question lies in the "unexplained reason" which can actually be explained, that's the hard part.

Having struggled with this for almost 20 years now, with little to show for it, I'd say "'unexplained reason' can actually be explained" seems to belong to the same category as "P != NP can actually be proven". Good luck and Godspeed.

Maybe I'm more of a clinical case, but for me, whatever I think the source of anxiety is in any given scenario, it's never that. I can eliminate potential sources one by one, dig in recursively, but it only provides very short-lived feelings of relief, lasting seconds to minutes, before anxiety restarts. To make matters worse, the more I spend time on such investigations, the more anxious I get about not working on the actual thing I wanted/was supposed to.

The most accurate model/explanation I have for this is: anxiety always comes, unconditionally; any "reason" behind it is just desperate post-hoc rationalization. The only reliable defense I know of is to be doing something so interesting or stimulating that it captures all of the brain's compute and starves the "anxiety process" entirely. Of course, that process will restart as soon as resources for it become available.

> For instance, if you have problems submitting your timesheets on time, it could be due to the fact that you're worried about putting too many hours on the budget. If you remove the worry about putting too many hours on the budget, then you might find yourself doing your timesheets on time.

I have problems submitting my timesheets on time. It's mostly because it's a boring, mind-dumbing chore, done using a GUI designed to prove that evil exists in this world. Like all modern timesheet tools, this one resists automation too. It's an annoyance that distracts me from the actual work I'm already behind on thanks to anxiety, and thus compounding the latter.

Yes, the task takes maybe 5 minutes. Would, if I could focus. But my focus window for mind-dumbingly boring tasks and routines is around 30 seconds; anything more than that requires ongoing, conscious effort. In reality, those 5 minutes usually turn into one hour, by the end of which I'm all dripping from stress-induced sweating.

I mean, I could've done my timesheets for the last two weeks four times over, in the time it took me to write this comment. Yet somehow, this comment is up, and the timesheets are not.

> , and in Austria you can't vote in national elections if you're not a citizen

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that it is norm for significant majority of countries in the world. Personally, I think that non-citizens should be allowed to vote on local elections (up to the city level), as they're impacted by local policies as residents, but on national level it is ok if only citizens can vote.

not necessarily true. I'm an antinatalist planning to kill myself once I get too old to take care of myself on my own. There are many people who are childless because they believe that making children to take care of our selfish needs is horribly wrong.

No, the idea that a certain layer of Romanian words comes from Dacian is superseded. It only hangs on due to outdated references or a certain strand of Romanian nationalism. In the last 30 years or so, as the reconstruction of earlier stages of Albanian has made great advances, scholars have found that Romanian borrowed words specifically from the ancestor of Albanian, not from some Dacian language possibly related to Albanian.

The Romanian and Albanian languages both spread to their present areas from the Central Balkans, and the linguistic ancestors of Romanian speakers included Albanian speakers who switched to Latin and carried over some of their vocabulary, while Albanian speakers are descended from those who never made that switch. There are still few popular-science books representing this state of the art, but particularly curious readers can look, for example, to the publications of Matzinger and Schumacher.
Macron recently said he was opposed to the entire concept of self defence, after a farmer shot a burglar in his home and was subsequently charged with murder.

After that remark became massively controversial he attempted to walk his statement back and claim that he just meant that he said he was against the presumption of self defence (which seems to imply he supports a presumption of guilt in self defence cases).

https://www.europe1.fr/politique/oppose-a-la-legitime-defens...

Basically every country in the world that has somewhat stable law and order has a history of prosecuting dubious self defence cases. The requirement for the state to have a monopoly on violence might sound edgy, but it’s not a controversial idea, it’s a requirement for being able to enforce the law. Self defence is an almost universally justifiable reason for a person to violate the monopoly, and it’s not hard to understand why government agencies can end up viewing it as an existential threat, not to the country or its people, but to their own institutions.

The topics are definitely fringe but I'm sure you could find some forum or site that discusses it but I think you have things backwards. It's not that most people wouldn't dare to talk about these ideas in polite company. It's that the people who hold these beliefs aren't polite. Their personalities so abhorrent, vitriolic and unsympathetic. They hold such archaic views, reminiscing about a past that would benefit them at the expense of others.

To use eugenics as an example. Those who speak about it always, without exception end up isolating a single group that they believe is inferior. These people often hold adjacent beliefs that make the lives of other humans significantly harder, to say the least.
Keep in mind I did say the self help industry - this isn’t a clinically mandated thing, it’s something people seek out themselves. There is an innate desire to improve.

Think about something really benign that almost everyone can agree on, like Toastmasters. Perhaps in a few years w/ a VR headset you can improve public speaking in front of a virtual crowd if you’re so shy that doing it in front of a large group of strangers is just too terrifying.
Coq means rooster in French and is not used as an insult or an euphemism for the penis at all. It's also what's on the logo.
Corrected, and as I emphasized in my comment, the difference is in many EU countries it's very easy to get citizenship after 4-6 years wile also keeping your original citizenship and not being forced into military service, so you can vote on nationals and have the chance to vote out the ultra-right-wingers.

In Austria that's not the case. Any talks about easing up the restrictions on gaining citizenship, allowing dual citizenship or removing mandatory military service for citizens, end up smothered quickly by nationalistic and populist arguments along the lines of "foreigners should have to walk through glass to prove they're worthy for the privilege of becoming one of us".

Becoming a citizen in the UK or Belgium is a rubber stamp in comparison.

I've actually started preferring the `action(subject, object)` form of programming which OO in C entails, rather than `subject.action(object)`. The latter is certainly easier for discovery via auto-complete (with most current tooling).

OO is not a natural way of programming. Everything always starts simply with functions that take arguments. Then you have a function that calls another function with some of the old arguments and some new ones.

Most people go: let's make the shared param an instance var.

const config = {}
foo(config)
function foo(config) { bar('bar', config) }
bar(str, config) { ... }

becomes...

class MyClass {
config
constructor(config) { this.config = config }
foo() { this.bar('bar') }
bar(str) { ... }
}

The problem with a class, is that every method of the class potentially depends on every other member of the class. What usually happens is that stuff is added to the class that doesn't make sense. And every class needs a noun to name it. Then you have to think what is the proper name for this abstract thing you don't even know what it is yet. Which leads to all these quirky class names that are unnecessary.

If you are explicit about what data dependencies each function has, it becomes easier to see the commonality that should be extracted into classes. Most people just shove everything in a class too soon. And most languages push you to use classes and methods...which usually look very different to how functions are represented.

Coq being the first three letters of his name, and also the french name for rooster, the french national emblem.

So yeah, he probably didn't care at all what those letters meant in various languages ( and probably even found the reaction of english natives amusing).
I have a report where the actual project work done is not exactly what was planned, so that's triggering some avoidance. It was hard to start with directly writing the report.

So what I did is the classic 'break it down' but with a pinch of artificial compartmentalization from the part triggering the avoidance:

I tried to focus only on what was actually done (significant in volume of work) switched to itemizing everything that was done first, not directly working into the report template.

I report on each of these items in isolation first, without reference to the plan, which gives me momentum since the pages fill up fast.

The last part is sorting the pages into the report template, according to the work items they fit best with.

Edit: The idea being that the momentum from the documenting of the work in isolation, will carry me through producing relatively little text referring to the plan.

It's not honorable work but it needs doing.
I think the key is that this is not a VR device but an AR one. The illusion is harder to maintain in AR but if you manage it is way more tricky. The difference between VR and AR is undervalued in the discussion. imho, the ability to do a credible AR (due to superior computational power and the abundance of sensors) _could_ be the key for Vision success

I think inheritance is the most convenient thing which came out of OOP, but interfaces are the most valuable one.

At least for business applications, you want to keep your behaviour and state separate. And people following OOP dogmatically will (ab)use encapsulation for use-cases where your data should be transparent.

Contrast this to interfaces, which are essentially composable specifications on code-level (and I absolutely love that Java uses interfaces to describe anonymous classes due to the power it gives you for documentation and specification).

No, it does not. While this group is indeed suspicious, detaining them without a proof (and using whatsapp as your proof) opens a serious precedent. Now anyone can be detain for that. And it'll be used for serious suspicious cases later but also will be used against someone like you because someone in the police didn't like how you walk.
I think it's the possibility they are still alive and trapped, and might die like there after multiple days of multiple kinds of suffering.

Plus, being unable to call for help is not something we are used to. To me, just BEING somewhere where I could not contact anyone and nobody could get to me in an emergency sounds terrifying even if nothing was actively happening.

Plus, to laymen it seems like the tech to prevent it should be absolutely trivial in the age of satellites. If I was lost somewhere all because I didn't have a $200 beacon device I would be horrified, and these people paid $250k. I'd expect multiple redundant forms of communication, immediately surfacing with a refund if there was any sign of trouble, etc.

I would describe my personal experience in Zurich (and having lived in Berlin before) a bit differently.

Everyone loves whining about finding a place to rent in both places, but in Berlin it's about finding anything at all whereas in Zurich it's usually about finding something cheap and ideally in a desirable Kreis 3 or Kreis 4 neighborhood. Yes it's competitive, but you will find something with realistic expectations + budget.

NB: I don't earn a big tech salary either. If you land a Google/Meta/IBM/Disney/adjacent job, the (rental) housing market should not give you any headaches.

In the 90s, my family (inveterate roadtrippers) always kept a Rand McNally road atlas in the car. Each page had a map covering (usually) a whole state. I don’t know what projection it used—Albers, perhaps?—but I remember as a child wondering why some straight‐looking state borders were actually subtly curved.

But if the video is simply you playing Bach, does that mean they fraudulently claim to represent you? Or are they fraudulently claiming Sony (or whoever) owns your video? Or are they merely correctly claiming that Sony owns something obviously unrelated to your video, and they're incorrectly but not fraudulently claiming that that thing is related to your video?

I guess it's the third option. Which is frustrating, because I think that it's still harmful, especially when it's so obviously false.

The entire series takes place in Ancient Greece and the Greco-Persian wars.
>I still think zero pressure doesn't work in the way you think it does. It's exactly something someone says when they are pre-occupied most of the time. It's wishful thinking.

You'd be surprised how much pressure can go down when you have fuck you money and you don't give a fuck about running some business, the "protestant work ethic", or getting more, just spend it and enjoy life. Met a few such types, and they feel zero pressure.

You still have inevitable stuff to worry about like relationships and health of course.

Definitely a cultural thing, but also has to do with neurodiversity; for some reason, a lot of people speak in riddles, they don't say what they mean and/or they don't mean what they say, and you're left having to make assumptions because if you don't get it, that's somehow your fault?

Another factor there is (corporate) politeness and avoiding emotional responses; the amounts of times I've had colleagues go on an angry rant / vent to us (as teammates) over a meeting they just came out of, instead of direct and use that anger during the meeting itself is a lot.
