Just last weekend I wanted to play Cryostasis after seeing a playthrough on YouTube. It's a pretty unique mid 00s shooter that is relatively light on the shooting and heavy on atmosphere - you're a researcher meeting an icebreaker to leave Antarctica in 1981, but when you find the ship it's been wrecked since 1968, and the game follows you unraveling the mystery using supernatural time-jump powers. Instead of a health bar, you have to keep your body temperature high enough. It's a genuinely unique title that approaches the genre differently from pretty much any other...and it's literally impossible to buy.

It's been delisted from Steam, Good Old Games, and any other storefront I could find online. People resell genuine retail keys that can get the game activated on Steam for ridiculous sums. Reposted hearsay online is that the original source code is lost so there will never be a remaster. There's a copy up on Archive.org, and without it from what I can tell this title would just be lost to time.

There's so many cool, weird, obscure games from the 90s and 00s and its their weirdness and obscurity that puts them most at risk for disappearing and becoming unattainable.
I agree but only if you have a consent form of the persons depicted of course.

And the state of mind is important too. I help at kink events sometimes and I don't accept consent forms from drunk people and don't get them photographed. Unless I know they've agreed to it before.
Singular integrals are a lovely topic, especially from a Fourier analytic perspective. Taking the Fourier transform, F(H(f))(x) = -i * sgn(x) * F(f)(x), which implies H^2 = - I. H has the Fourier multiplier -i * sgn(x). The Riesz transforms R_j are a higher dimensional generalization of the Hilbert transform with Fourier multipliers -i * x_j/|x_j|, which leads to the nice property sum R_j^2 = -I.
> How many films and TV-sows are now not legally available?

Or if they are, they've been changed to remove material that can't be distributed. WKRP in Cincinnati is an example of this.

From the Wikipedia page for the show:

> WKRP was videotaped rather than filmed because at the time, music-licensing fees were lower for videotaped programs, a loophole that was intended to accommodate variety shows. Music licensing deals that were cut at the time of production covered only a limited number of years, but when the show entered syndication shortly after its 1982 cancellation, most of the original music remained intact because the licensing deals were still active. After the licenses had expired, later syndicated versions of the show did not feature the music as first broadcast, with stock production music inserted in place of the original songs to avoid paying additional royalties.
Why not just implement "logical delete" and have another process sweep through a few weeks later that does any pending deletes? Then they get what they want (or closer to it), and it isn't a lot more effort.
RMS has always been clear that selling Free Software and only distributing the source to people who bought the software from you is fine. But I don't think he's ever suggested that somebody selling Free Software in this way might threaten to cut their customers off from future updates if they ever exercise their right to redistribute the software they bought. Redistribution is a key part of "[some list of freedoms]", and this "you can redistribute this version but if you do you'll be cut off from future versions" scheme is not something I've ever heard him endorse.
It doesn't matter. A subpoena is a subpoena and could happen at any job.
Another suggestion is to incorporate walking or biking into your commute whenever possible. It not only boosts physical activity but also reduces carbon footprint. Additionally, try standing up and stretching regularly if you have a sedentary job. Small changes can make a big difference!

Pay em less, make crazy demands, less chance of rebellion, no context to know if behaviors are crazy, etc.

Same idea with the video games industry, really
Your idea of somehow "dictating" what happens to the photos you take is equally insane if not more so. Your photos are just bits, information. Trivially copied. For you to be able to "dictate" literally anything at all would require control over the computer I'm typing this comment on and every other computer on earth.
Honestly, some version of a sqlite database and form maker is probably all you need.

If Docker is an option and you only need it for a single machine, maybe NocoDB?
Yes, we use this at CodeSandbox for reclaiming memory to the host (and to reduce snapshot size when we hibernate the VM).
> That's absurd

No, it isn't.

No, it isn't.

That is an extremely limited and narrow view of a judge's job. That's part of their job, but very far from all of it.

> I'd even make the contention that this fundamentally deprives people of their right to due process

No, it doesn't. People are encouraged to settle; they aren't forced to. If you insist on a trial, you can get one.

> and if it is the case that the judiciary cannot handle case loads

It takes a long time to bring a case to trial. I think that at least part of the bottleneck is the judges' time, but I cannot prove that.

> we need to start talking about the structural reasons resulting in that.

I would agree with that.
There's a whole bunch of reasons why, and you got one answer below. But what does that have to do with answering the question that was asked of you? You made an accusation about how the definition of signups was "very, very liberal", and then when called out on it and asked to explain you just started talking about something completely different. But, of course, you had to since your original claim was complete bullshit.
With TVs specifically, aren't their costs subsidized by the SmartOS features?
Humans, as all animals, have a built in maturity limit, which is puberty. After completed puberty you are biologically an adult. You can be a completely immature fool though biologically adult, as well as at 18, at 38 or until death. I'd say a majority of people live their whole lives without ever reaching adulthood in a spiritual sense. Go work in the service industry catering to an elderly clientele if you don't believe it.
I generally see charts like this in relation to Baumol's cost disease, I'm surprised the linked article never mentions Baumol, but goes on to talk about government regulation and foreign competition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect (See also section on education https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect#Education)

Basically as scalable goods and services get cheaper, non-scalable goods and services become relatively more expensive. In terms of hospital services and college tuition, this is a much more intuitive explanation than government regulation, although I'm open to more informed opinions.

This would defeat the entire purpose of incorporation. Not to say you're wrong, but incorporation exists to prevent this.
Getting some slaptick+satire comic books made after the main $COMIC_BOOK_INDUSTRY in Spain it's night impossible.
And it sucks, because these comic books from the 80's are a masterpiece where the author were not tied to their editors and they innovated like never did. Think about stories close to Futurama in humor but for younger teens and without dumbing down them (political jokes and so on).
One notable example is the rewrite of Netflix's video streaming platform, which improved performance and scalability. Another example is the rewrite of Slack's desktop app, resulting in a more efficient and user-friendly experience. Software rewrites can be challenging but can lead to significant improvements!
Pre-revenue company raises another round of more VC cash and all they have released is a free chatbot.

This valuation looks excessively inflated and quickly hyped to $4B, almost like Clubhouse. But even if they release a paid API, that still doesn't justify the $4B valuation.

This only means that they are burning millions of dollars training and fine-tuning their deep learning models which is a game which profitable companies such as Apple, Google, Microsoft and Meta can afford to do.

In terms of the race to zero, Meta is already at the finish line by releasing their AI model for free.

> If something is not legally available then copyright law ought to make it eligible for free distribution

What about stuff that's in flight? Or your IP that you've developed that is taken off the market and you are incorporating into another product? Or stuff you put out there and it flops because of timing and you plan to relaunch again in 2 years? There are many situations where this doesn't hold up.

You sentiment makes sense but implementation is tricky.
Unfortunately we're seeing a sudden pendulum swing towards favoring draconian creator-centric copyright laws as a kneejerk to AI. The same artists etc. who would have complained about Disney's practices a year ago now think copyright doesn't go far enough in forbidding algorithms from learning from their publicly visible work, the same way artists have learned from looking at each other's work for millenia.
True, but it isn’t a difficult distinction to make. The entire point of laws are to make distinctions.
Dimensional Shifting
Then there’s the hilarious case of No One Lives Forever, a well regarded game from 2000, where the ownership rights are murky with several organisations willing to say on the record that they have no idea if they own it, that they have no intention of finding out, but that if anyone attempts to resurrect the games they will find out and sue.
Googling it provides a quick-answer box that states this claim and provides a source:

https://www.google.com/search?q=what+percent+of+student+loan...

92%
Federal student loans make up the vast majority of American education debt—about 92% of all outstanding student loans is federal debt. The federal student loan portfolio currently totals more than $1.6 trillion, owed by about 43 million borrowers.

I think it's then pretty fair game for a forum comment to then suggest there's a causal relationship between "an entity that can print the currency that denominates the debt is backing the debt" and "this drives the price of the thing up due to easier access to funding for it".

They all develop their own smart tv functionality, originally at least. That was how they captured that ad revenue. The Vizio CEO actually stated the margins were non-existent but made up on the smart tv garbage.

There obviously is a different arrangement when you have companies like TCL putting in Google TV.
I'm not the author of the article. But if you want a provocative answer:

In general your attitude is wanting easy shiny articles instead of really going deep in why and what works well or no, going past the writing style, especially when it's told by someone who is showing many results for him and others well... you kind of illustrate the point of people who end up with shiny and useless workout, don't eventually stick to the gym because "they don't feel like it" at some point.

No one really serious about sports (either lifting or martial arts) is going to spend more time pleasing you or make you feel better if you're not able to see that results speak for themselves. You have to be self motivated, it's not my job to do it. I've seen article mentionned at least 10 times as "best fitness article". If you don't like the style when it's one of the best articles, it's your problem, not the author's one.

But if you really want an answer for you if you are starting => just do the "starting strength" program. It's the simplest one and most effective. When you can bench 100kg in 3 months, you can read more about leangains.

Worse than just "backed by the federal government," the loans are basically protected by the government. Being one of the small list of things you can't bankrupt out of, the risk in giving out the loans has been fully pulled from the lenders.

It is frustrating to hear the discourse over the inappropriate students that are taking on too much debt, all the while ignoring the lenders that are taking on too much risk. At least, they would be taking on too much risk, if they hadn't captured the market so effectively.
Technically, yes. Socio-economically, no.
There are no new social networks
It's interesting to see the launch of Threads but then realise there are actually no new social networks, just a rehash of old. Threads is piggybacking off the Instagram social graph. Twitter is now a pretty dated phenomenon as is Facebook and the rest of it. Our slacks and discords are showing their age as well as obviously reddit and what have you. HN in my eyes is a quality lasting network but at the same time, I find myself longing for something fresh, more real time, but to discuss topics of meaning beyond tech, politics, etc. A non-influencer network, a non-follower network. Somewhere the discussion is 1:1 in a way that everyone is on equal footing and there is no such thing as a voting system. We are missing something vitally new and different yet reminiscent of the 90s world of chat rooms. Where is the public open chats of cyber space?
Are those all HP printers?
Do whatever you want for them. Make free content for them if you like. Get together with like minded and make free content and services. Are you on it?
You will come across Hilbert transforms in a signals and systems or DSP course, which you would take in an EE/ME undergrad. A lot of the work in this space was done by mathematicians which I think contributes to the abstraction level at which it's taught. It can be useful and is definitely real.
People did write before copyright. Copyright was established to make it more likely.

Yes, people write for other reasons (e.g., self-promotion). But that does not account for "most authors" I would actually want to read.

I'm not against copyright being different, especially for things that are written as work-for-hire. But that's a fight with Disney. Good luck.
>I agree but only if you have a consent form of the persons depicted of course.

How many of the millions of published photos of recognizable people on the internet do you think have consent forms. Stock photos yes. But I'd be willing to bet that well short of 1% of the photos of people on Flickr, say, have consent forms.
Mediocrity aside, I generally prefer pre Y2K games to their contemporary brethren. Maybe I'm in a tiny minority, though.
Agreed. I don't see how the current system doesn't already have channels to take action against her. If fraud can be proven, which looks like it can be, then: the school will fire her, sue her, the publisher/s can sue her, etc. Even that guy with the signed book in the comments. There is no need to update contracts to necessitate clawbacks since these essentially already exist.

I'd assume that such a policy change could actually have severe unintended consequences as it would necessitate some metric to evaluate this, which it is notoriously difficult to do with respect to research. Not to mention that most research that is wrong is not wrong to intentional acts of deception, but just that people make mistakes. I'd assume the consequences would result in this territory, making mistakes far more costly. Not something we want for research, where essentially we're trying to learn how to play the rules to a game by playing the game. Often mistakes help us learn those rules.
My limited experience with FP languages suggests they encourage very explicit state management. You remove a lot of the footguns from having side-effects all over the place at the cost of the (sometimes, depending on the tooling and your familiarity with it) it being more complex to introduce state or external side-effects when you want them.
Because it is not 'free'.
It puts students in debt.

You are boosting your income by exploiting students through usury.

Lets say there is no government, then where was the 'competitive' pressure? How does government loans take away competition? Did they close schools to eliminate the competition?

I've definitely lived with the zombie flags problem. Teams ship experiments that double the size of a piece of code, but never go back to refactor out the unused code branches. In shared codebases this becomes a nightmare of thousands of lines of zombie code and unit tests.

This is a social problem as much as a technical one: even if you have LaunchDarkly, DataDog etc making very clear that a flag isn't used, getting a team to prioritise cleanup is difficult. Especially if their PM leaned on engineers to make the experiment "quick n dirty" and therefore hard to clean up.

At The Guardian we had a pretty direct way to fix this: experiments were associated with expiry dates, and if your team's experiments expired the build system simply wouldn't process your jobs without outside intervention. Seems harsh, but I've found with many orgs the only way to fix negative externalities in a shared codebase is a tool that says "you broke your promises, now we break your builds".
And most old games are run within emulators (even something like dosbox) anyway. All you can do is infect that.

But in those days viruses were truly rampant. I have many Amiga disks with viruses on them. As my Amiga had no hard drive and only 1 floppy there wasn't many places for them to go though.

You list many highly interesting sounding theories. As someone who's just entering post undergraduate academia, do you suggest any resources for learning a survey of the field currently? I'd heard of category theory and thought it was awesome but in all my looking I've never seen the number of current in development and actually applied ideas you've listed here. Thanks
Good point. It's possible the real issues have more to do with price point/positioning and product UX.

My experience with LaunchDarkly has been that a lot of these hygiene-related exist only in their top tier enterprise plans, and even below that point the cost of the tool starts to draw attention.

On the product UX side - I've found these tools are designed for engineering/Devops users but (whether by design or not) by product, success, and some ops users as well.
If only governments could make…laws to restrict the price of University. Or…could limit the maximum loan size thus encouraging Universities to not charge more than that.
> That shouldn’t be noticeable if the 4K stream was encoded properly.

I don't think this is true. At some point there are diminishing returns. At some point if the 4k video has twice the bitrate it is going to have more information available. Some will be lost in the down sampling but it isn't "improper" to end up with more data on the screen.

It is true that YouTube bitrates are pretty "conservative" for the resolution but I don't think that is "improper" it is just a tradeoff based on common device an internet speeds. They could be more bandwidth efficient if they did a custom transcode for each user's screen size and bandwidth but that is infeasible. So it is fine that some users will not be able to stream the 4k transcode on their 4k screen and will need to use the 2k stream and some users will have extra bandwidth on their 1080p screen so will stream the 2k version for better quality. The goal isn't to be perfect for each device but to be good on average.
