Full-time studies (in the Polish language) at the state Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are free for Polish students and foreigners who commence studies in Poland on terms applicable to Polish citizens (see: define your status). These include citizens of the EU/EEA and students who hold the Polish Charter (Karta Polaka). All other foreigners are required to pay tuition fees that on average are the following:

EUR 2000 per year for the first, second and long cycle studies,

EUR 3000 per year for postgraduate as well as scientific, arts, specialist and post-doctoral internships,

EUR 2000 per year for an annual preparatory Polish language course to commence studies in Polish
Hostile external incompatibility?
Yup, that’s true.
The ads could be worse: drugs that treat cancer, diabetes in 1 month, supplements that cure Hepatitis and so on. If YouTube can show fast food and gambling ads instead, that would be a nice improvement.

I assume because the ads are in language and region Google don't care as much, there's less priority or resource to filter them out. Maybe they should ask Meta how to do it since FB and Insta ads are way more "reasonable".
> but that's probably because people didn't get the joke.

It’s more that Hacker News tends to collectively frown upon posts that are only jokes, if I had to guess.
Haven't a substantial number of creators turned towards sponsorships and embedded advertising because they felt like YouTube was being too capricious with their monetization policies?
> It seems like the higher up the chain you look, the more indifference or incompetence you find.

Well, let's say, you have a really competent investigator. Is that the person you want to be promoted into a position where they are not doing any investigating anymore? In that light it's good to have the incompetent higher up so that the people doing the real work are those that are competent. :)
Right! Most days I'm just mindlessly clawing around my house, desperately unaware of what I "need" to live without the aid of hundreds of slow-loading data-tracking overwrought boxes of advertising festering my every vantage point.

Just this morning, I was on the toilet, about to finish up a shit. I reached instinctively to my left to grab... wait, the little roller is empty!

But...what used to be there? What was I about to grab? This is crazy, my mind is completely blank!

If only there were some kind of an unskippable 30 second movie with dancing animated bears that could remind me what product I might use adjacent to a toilet bowl to complete my biological morning ritual!
Forgiving the loans makes any other legislative solution vanishingly unlikely. Politicians love to just kick cans down the road. Forgiving student loans at the beginning of every new administration would be much easier than pursuing an actual policy to attack the problem legislatively.
I only ever watch TV when there's a sporting event on. But every time I've noticed two things:

- Just how many ads there are. And it's not even that there are a bunch of different ads, it's the same 3-4 ads played in a loop.

- The absurd number of drug commercials. The last time I was I was at a friends place to watch a football game we played a drinking came called "ask your doctor". Anytime a drug ad said "ask your doctor is X is right for you", you take a shot. We were all drunk by the end of the game.
It's possible that Google has chosen to take the brunt of the complaints to shield the creators.

I'm sure a billion dollar company with 5,000 employees can't find the time to include a computed "total price" column in their database for total price. Sorry, not buying it.

Something being a separate line item does not mean it can't appear in the total price. You have to intentionally build a system to be that deceptive.

Most non-American jurisdictions include tax in the listed price. Even AirBNB does for German customers: https://i.imgur.com/j7ot5xz.png

My first thought upon hearing this was "oh, I guess my time lost to youtube-dl + mpv of those few channels I have bookmarked will finally be reclaimed!" (assuming this breaks it)

This move makes zero sense on their part. Cutting off your addicts is a horrible approach to being a drug dealer. You always keep them hooked to your supply, if you wholly interrupt it they'll quickly seek replacement. That's literally what created the illicit opioid crisis - folks lost their prescription opioids and immediately pivoted to street dealers.

Surely youtube has better options than outright blocking users of adblockers... Why wouldn't you first just restrict the quality of videos they can access to extremely low-res. It lessens the bandwidth burden on you, and may be enough to keep them under your spell and away from the competitors supply.
Does this exist for Apple TV as well?

It was always a bad faith argument.
They aren't coercing anyone. They're offering a service with a service agreement. It's as much coercion as my ISP saying they won't give me internet access if I don't pay.

Both outcomes of "pay and we'll give you access" and "I won't pay and I won't get access" are reasonable outcomes in a free society.
The Sound of Silence – Jessica Livingston on the impact of online hostility (2017)
It can be a pretty real problem. I encountered a problem where I needed to construct a file with out of order writes 64 bits long. This works fine for small files, but this file was dozens of gigabytes. Turns out if you do this the naive way on a consumer disk, it will take weeks and it will wear out the disk incredibly quickly, because all the buffers will fill up in the worst possible way and the disk ends up with worst case write amplification for every write.

I ended up creating a bunch of smaller files containing essentially assembly instructions, of the form "put X at offset Y", and grouping adjacent write instructions in ~100Mb chunks. This is just sequential writes, which the OS will gladly help buffer and the disk likes. Then I go over the files one by one and evaluate the instructions. Now since the "random" writes are concentrated to a relatively small area on disk, the buffering works well.

Despite writing 2.5x as much data (and reading the data an additional time), this makes the write operation take like an hour instead of several weeks.
One thing to consider would be to use something like the BOINC model, if the amount of data that needs to be exchanged isn't too great.

You could also just start a small project to pay people. If 2¢ per core hour is a reasonable price, that means a Ryzen 5950X user could make $7.68 a day not using SMT threads when the machine is mostly idle.
> I haven't seen anyone propose a rule that could be applied (much less an argument that would justify it as likely) based on copyright law that gets you to “used SD, in violation”.

The speculative worst-case outcome for these tools that I've seen suggested is the legal system deciding that an image generated with them is a derivative work of every image that was used to train the model. Since none of these models were trained on images that they had rights releases for, this would mean they're incapable of outputting images that aren't infringing on the copyrights of vast numbers of people.

I can't say how likely that is to actually be the legal outcome, of course, but it seems like the sort of concern that might lead to Valve's policy here.
are you thinking of adding support for more specialised models?
Oh. Yeehah!

Thanks for some of those. What a relief.
It's tough. In my experience in the games industry, a big reason source wasn't released historically was not antagonism towards the players or belief in the underlying IP. It was fear: someone in "China" would start running your game for "their" audience, and make a bundle there while you rot, totally unknown to you.

I'm not sure how often that actually happened. The only games with parallel universe East Asian audiences belonged to #1 genres like MOBAs. While there was a belief that you could be making the next MOBA, hardly anyone was making realtime multiplayer games at all, so it was extremely unlikely.

It was a misplaced reaction to Ketchapp, the real antagonist. They would rapidly clone and blitz-market games. Indie mobile developers spent a year or more discovering and refining an original, fun mechanic, only to see this well capitalized actor seize their audience by giving the mechanic away for free. From 2014 to 2018, in my opinion, indie mobile developers transitioned to more atmospheric fare, and iOS and Android nowadays are a marketing-and-sizing tool for your inevitable Nintendo Switch audience.

Which brings us back to: what is there exactly to protect? Ketchapp didn't need the source code to clone those games. Nobody needs the source. If you make a PC game and have an audience, it will show up in Steam charts, you can't really keep that secret. And if you don't have an audience, you have seriously nothing to worry about. Since every game usually starts at zero, why protect the source?

My card game Spellsource has been open source for a long time (https://github.com/hiddenswitch/Spellsource) and my colleague and I are in the process of rebooting it. This game is community authored, players write the cards, so it makes mechanical sense to be open source. On the flip side, for the narrative & atmospheric single player experiences indie developers are authoring, it is hard to define what they have to gain.
The evolutionary ancestor to chickens still exists, and there are probably some chickens here and there that have escaped and become wild again. So long as the environment allows. The evolution of chicken penning would have been gradual, as well, as human structures evolved over time and sedentary human civilization formed. Very gradual changes.

>You won't have to be. Someone else will be that stooge. That you're sufficiently skeptical won't save the human race. How many people send Nigerian email scammers their life savings?

Not enough to decimate the entire financial system. Some companies may outsource all their decision making to some kind of LLM. They will then face lawsuits related to quality, unless that LLM behaves in a 'friendly' enough way not to cause issues.

>Like there won't be some "chicken wrangler" the AI can hire? How many bitcoins would it have to scrape together to pay for the hitman that would push you around?

Criminal organizations that handle these kinds of tasks rarely take unsolicited requests in bitcoin. They like to know who is asking, and why.

They will probably contact the real-life folks that were the basis for the character played by Liam Neeson in Taken.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you."
- Liam Neeson, Taken.
I disagree with your conclusion (imo we should make the country more meritocratic so that meeting a rich personal kid isn’t a huge perk) but must commend the spiciness of this take.
Qualcomm actually started offering LTS (long-term support) BSP (board support packages) to device manufacturers for a fee. This is why some vendors like Samsung and Microsoft started providing updates for phones with older SoCs for longer than usual: they're paying the additional per-product license fee for being allowed to ship updated firmware.
I’m not sure if anyone else feels this way, but the sight of many ads on the internet makes my blood boil like nothing else. I think it’s because some ads treat your intelligence like you’re a brainwashed idiot who will fall for anything. Ads like these are the reason I use adblock.
Waxing poetic now, I see.

Imagination is fun but not by itself a great guide to life.

I misread the title and had a mini-heart attack when I thought I was on the front page of HN.
I’ve subscribed to Youtube when I found no way to block state propaganda in my country. Instagram lets me hide ads I don’t like, while there’s no way to get rid of them on Youtube. Maybe I’m the proof that the strategy works but now I despise Youtube and Google with a passion while being surprisingly sympathetic with Instagram and happily accepting ads there. Both of them serve completely irrelevant ads for me though.
I find that there are often useful ads which inform me about niche products or services that I would not otherwise have known about.

It’s a fine line.

A lot of ads are just shit though.
Hopefully not, because that murders performance. The caching exists for a reason, let it do its thing.

If you care about data integrity, you don’t trust the disk anyway, so flushing to the disk isn’t enough.

Well there's a reason it takes a click or key press to register about as long as it takes sending a packet halfway across the world (or a few times around the world, depending on what software you're running).
I'm a family premium member. After the recent price hike, it's the most expensive streaming plan I have, by a long shot. uBO does so much more than block ads and I have a no-exceptions policy on whitelisting, even when I'm paying for the service. I'm curious if they'll still try to stop me.

> How can you trust a list that places JavaScript an order of magnitude lower than TypeScript?

Simple: start with the same data, make the same calculations, see the same results.

When we make assumptions about how measurements were made and analyzed, our assumptions may be wrong.
> it's just often not clear what the location is to prevent personal negotiations.

Oh no, we had a bug once when our software uploaded the property to the web with the address unlocked. The place got swarmed by people who would just enter the property at any time, not giving a damn about the owner's privacy. They were ringing the doorbell, asking about the price and if they could see the place right then and there. Agents are the first line of defense against shitty people.
It is NJ supreme court so I assume it's the state of New Jersey. What's it like there?
I keep contact with a girl in China and from her reports using VPNs is kinda common for young people with college education. She would do it sometimes to access YouTube, and would laugh it off when I would say she should be careful doing such things.

I suppose for the government, as long as it isn’t the majority of people doing something that would cause trouble, it isn’t worth tracking down all things, as expected.
Both borosilicate glass and tempered glass are much more resistant to shocks like dropping on a floor than traditional glass.

The chances of being not damaged by a shock depend both on the material and on the wall thickness.

Because they are intrinsically less resistant, the tempered glass objects are typically made with thicker walls.

The end result is that the borosilicate glass objects with thin walls have about the same mechanical shock resistance like the tempered glass objects with thick walls.

Nevertheless, because the soda-lime glass has greater density than borosilicate glass, combined with the fact that the tempered glass objects have thicker walls, makes the tempered glass objects much heavier.

Their great weight makes the tempered glass objects more prone to being dropped during handling.

The borosilicate glassware is more expensive, but the difference is not significant, especially for objects that may remain usable for an entire human lifetime, if used carefully. I have never hesitated to buy some borosilicate glassware because it was too expensive. The main problem has always been that there are few suppliers so it may be difficult to find the exact size and shape that you search.
Btw I think private schools should admit whoever they want as long as they don't discriminate by race/gender/religious affiliation/sexuality and other features specified by law.
If they want to be a private club for children of their wealthy donors - let's be it.

The problem is elsewhere: degree should matter less. It's better to focus on attacking this one. It's just can't be good that decisions you or your parents made before you're even 18 shape your whole professional life in such radical way.

I know the argument, the more people the higher the probability for something good or exceptional. But I havent really seen many examples of that in reality. We've got a lot more diversity in the system, but the people that rise to the top are still the same types of people, not the ones that were being advantaged by the old rules that were struck down by the Supreme Court.
Very true. I like that dang essentially sequestors topics that are political rabbit holes, but hn has... Intersectionality? That you don't find on other public forums. The college admissions stuff is so emotional, vitriol and shallow hot takes abound when they shouldn't, but seeing people with wildly separate experiences discuss things without that happens quite a bit too. I like to encourage it.
Moral decline is only ever important in economic troublesome times. Then it's mostly focused on herding the sexual non normative into one central religous scheme were there existence is then sanctioned and the threats removed, as long as they put force behind the upholding of social contracts/norms/whatever the religion values. Outcomes may vary wildly. It's how our species creates on demand law and order.. And it's also not a real justice system, rife with abuse (those without parents both are fed to these contract cults). It's also unavoidable, so one might as well make a synthetic version minimizing suffering.

For more detailed evidence, just hit Peter up on the next pride parade. =)
The Republican Supreme Court ruled against this because it is not simpatico with their pollical beliefs.

You are inherently freeloading off of everyone that does pay for Premium or watches ads.

I didn't say that doing is is immoral, or that we should collectively feel ashamed, just that it is inherently <not paying> for YouTube, and that YT has every right to try to stop this behavior - of course, balancing kicking people off the platform with any ground they lose to competing UGC streaming services.

When dealing with Home/Property insurance, always talk to a reputable public adjuster or general contractor. I worked at a general contractor construction company in a state where contractors can also act as public adjusters. We routinely caught insurance adjusters overlooking damage, lying, or straight up committing fraud.

The laws for insurance are very complex, and all of the material standards are locked behind paywalls. For an average person (me before I worked there) insurance is basically a black box; you can't argue against any of their points because they hide the criteria.

>but even if they do fix it, it'll be the lowest bidder installing the cheapest parts possible.

This is true, but illegal. You are owed for "Like Kind And Quality" according to the law. This means that the insurance company can't downgrade your materials, and they have to repair the property to AT LEAST pre-storm conditions. Additionally, it is your legal right to choose a construction crew or contractor of your choice, and the insurance company can't veto your decision. After the work is complete, make sure that you, the construction company, and the insurance company have copies of the specifications of your materials and what work was done. This way it will be much harder for insurance to fuck you over on your next claim.

Most contractors in my area are genuinely trying to help the clients. There are some contractors who take advantage of the innocent and gullible population, though. I hate them just as much as insurance companies.
The pre-Musk behaviour was fairly straightforward to my recollection: All logged out accounts could view a single tweet and some percentage of the replies. They could also view a profile but, similarly, scrolling down a certain number of tweets triggered the modal.

It was a good compromise.
Which is more trustworthy:

- The bank that says "We have strong security measures," which it details for in full and you can audit to any depth you like and see they are in place, and you can see that security professionals have taken them up on their word and offered feedback which has been implemented

- The bank that says "We have strong security measures," and then they say for security reasons they can't tell anyone about any of them and you have to take them at their word that they even exist
