I have a Gmail account [1] and I regularly get email for other people who share my name (at least three others). I find it amazing they think that's their email address (or other people think that they'll reach the right person by just <firstname><lastname>@gmail.com).

[1] Not my primary account but I got it to give Gmail a try when it was first opened to the public. I personally found it 'meh' but kept the account for testing purposes with my own email server.

"The Kansas Constitution does not have an express shield provision, nor has it been construed in a manner providing such protection."
A very thoughtful argument, thank you!

To me, the difference is that these are all building blocks rather than standalone products. I think of these commercial products as making sense for standalone services, rather than libraries and other building blocks.

But also: I think the business model that built all those open source building blocks has always been pretty shitty, relying on a lot of altruistic un- or poorly- compensated work from people. And I think that's bad. But I don't think demanding that companies making useful services also be subjected to a shitty business model is a good solution.
Every time I see tailwindcss I feel relief that I’m not forced to use it.

I absolutely love the elegance and power of well structured css code.

I get that it works for people forcing their designs through a shredder and don’t want to think about the whole or to name things. I just can’t.
Yes thank you for the clarification.

This could be an effect of California law that doesn't allow businesses to expire gift certificates. They have to honor it as long as they're still in business.
Was it a 1U server? 2U and 4U servers can be typically be configured or modified to run at a noise level comparable to a gaming desktop. Performance 1U servers you'll hear through the floor though for sure.

I can tell you my 1U R620 servers lasted less than 6 months before I sold them for 2U R720s. I still wouldn't want to sit in a room with the R720s but you couldn't hear them through a door. Sold those when I moved and downsized to a tower server R430, equivalent to a 4U. It's in my office now and no louder than my desktop. I'll get rid of the raid array and downsize to a single hdd at some point to silence the heads clicking though.
The thing with stupid people is they think everyone else is stupid except themselves.

It can appear as a can of tomatoes being consumed by Andy Warhol himself. It doesn't change the fact there are no shield laws in Kansas or the US for journalists.
I just disagree that this is the whole point of open source.

Wheel bearings, axle grease, wheel alignment, fork seals, suspension bearings, head bearings, chain/belt, sprockets, brake system (pads, piston, caliper, seals, master cylinder, fluid, rotors), tires, cooling system. Plus the classics of levers, hoses, bent handles bars or forks, stripping bolts, broken kick stands, etc. None of that goes away with an electric bike.

And you do need to do inspections on electrical connectors at minimum. Being electric doesn't solve small design flaws. Suzuki infamously made the green connector of death. The headlamps and ignition switch on the same connector, which inevitably burns out due to resistance in the connection growing due to corrosion which eventually causes it to melt. Saw a similar problem with a Kawasaki with corrosion interfering with kill switch circuit.
It doesn't have to be in the constitution to be law.
Two years it too short.

The reason I now use gmail and not hotmail is because Microsoft did a similar thing 20 years ago. When I lost my hotmail account, I thought I might as well use gmail from now on. Reason I didn't log into my hotmail account was because I used the mail address I got from the university.
The applicability of this particular statute (42 USC § 2000aa) - as with most of the Federal government's power - hinges on this clause: "...in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce..."

It seems plausible that the paper might report on things that relate to or impact neighboring states.

But like I said - even if the statute weren't there - what's wrong with calling them up and asking them to surrender whatever they're searching for under subpoena instead? Especially for the purported crime of "identity theft"?!
Yeah I don't get it, the First Amendment doesn't set up journalists as some special class of citizen; all citizens are meant to have the rights and protections journalists have.
> git has first class support for applying patches from emails.

You say that like it's a good thing.
> I think of likely reasons this happens is username exhaustion.

I disagree, there is a solution out there, it's just more work because the client-software has to be smarter. We can take inspiration from how our meat-space society functions, where everybody maintains their own contextual aliases as metadata, something that can be personalized or shared.

For example, imagine we have a big global commenting site, and my own metadata says "Terr_ believes ID 49985189215 is Bob Smith."

When I ask the software to contact "Bob Smith", it knows who I mean from that mapping. When I publish something for other people to see and add a special reference to Bob Smith, it contains "{49985189215 which author knows as "Bob Smith}". People who already know 49985189215 as "Bobby Smith" would see that pop up on their screen instead, and the rare few which have a conflicting "Bob Smith" would see it rendered differently, making it obvious I don't mean their Bob Smith.

It gets more complex though when you consider the same user with multiple contexts: "I'll call Bob" at home might easily be a totally different person than "I'll call Bob" in the workplace.
Honestly I couldn’t disagree more. I built a startup and paid little attention to perf for years 1-5, and finally in year 6 we started to get bitten by some perf issues in specific tables, and spent a few engineer-months optimizing.

In terms of tech debt it would have been way more expensive to make everything perform well from the start, we would have moved much slower and probably failed during a few crunch points.

Instead we paid probably a few $k/mo more than we really needed to on machines, and in return saved man-months of effort at a time when we couldn’t hire enough engineers and the opportunity cost for feature work was huge. (Keep in mind that making everything perform well would have required us to do 10-20x as much work, because we could not know ahead of time where the hot spots would be. Some were surprising.)

Joins may be evil at scale, but most startups don’t have scale problems, at least not at first.

Denormalizing can be a good optimization but you pay a velocity cost in keeping all the copies in sync across changes. Someone will write the bug that misses a denormalized non-canonical field and serves up stale data to a user. It’s usually cheaper (in total cost, ie CapEx+OpEx) to write the join and optimize later with a read-aside cache or whatever, rather than contorting your schema.
That is beautiful and insane.

I was going to criticize the power density as excessive/inefficient, but actually thats much lower than the A100 and H100 (even excluding a big interconnect). And it still needs that insane power delivery/cooling setup.
I find it very difficult to find meaning in a large portion of the jobs available today. Most workers are just another cog in the wheel. The system is so large that one cannot directly appreciate the effects of their work, or even know whether they are positive at all.

This contrasts with say, a subsistance farmer who produces food for their family and lives in a small community where every product of their labor has a known and appreciable impact. In that case, the equivalent goal of "changing the world" is "helping the community", which is much more attainable.
Well, let’s think about it from the opposite direction.

Say we built a general system without teaching it anything about driving. We discover that it can drive at a human level. Would we then be surprised if we discover that it cannot solve any other complex tasks at a human level?

I say yes, we would be surprised. I think that driving well requires enough general intelligence and that any system that solves it will be able to also, say, pass a high school algebra class or cook a meal in an unfamiliar kitchen. There can be no further goalpost moving at that point.
Exactly. You can buy a $1.99 movie on your Google account and that stops expiry indefinitely.
No, this is about controlled digital lending as a whole. The ruling issued struck down all CDL, and only mentioned the National Emergency Library to say that it was also illegal as CDL was illegal.

I think this underestimated the abilities of the “common white collar criminal” — there are lots of chat logs of SBF and his coconspirators saying essentially “we’re doing fraud.”

Common white collar criminals say “let’s take this offline” in their chat transcripts.

If you care about having your data stored permanently, I think it is fair to say you should pay for it (eg: Google One subscription) or buy something on the Google Play Store as listed under the inactivity exceptions policy.

If you expect to get something served to you for free forever, Google has a bridge to sell you.
I like what the internet archive is doing, but I'm saddened that many just use it as a hack to get around paywalls. I don't think that's in alignment with the internet archive's mission.

I think it's important for society in the long-term to keep journalism a rewarding profession.

Maybe as a compromise the internet archive could only allow access to archived journalism content after, say, a year's time. We'd be sure things got archived, and journalists would still get paid.
Is it possible people just don't find the product compelling enough to pay for, ever?

I feel like there's something to be said about the quality of the product from that observation.
It's not a conspiracy theory, it's how the system works. You are taxed on pretty much all of your income either from the state, the landlord, the credit card company or the lifestyle obligations that stems from the area you are living in.

> And that's right where they want you.

This is the part where we diverge, and I think where people confuse emerging phenomena for conspiracy.

There is no one orchestrating this.
There's a distinction missing here. Rumsfeld's Transformation idea was correct with regard to the invasion, which was one of the most successful invasions in history, period. No one has ever taken over such a large country, so far away, so fast, with so few troops, before or since.

The occupation afterward was where the clusterfuck came in, and (somehow) none of the preparation had been directed toward that.
Doesn’t this sound like a SiSP
Most vaccines do not wholly prevent the disease they vaccinate against. A few - like the rabies vaccine - do, mostly because they're slow-moving diseases that the body has plenty of time to mount a defense against, but many do not. In fact, the namesake of vaccines - the use of cowpox to vaccinate against smallpox - didn't confer immunity, just resistance.

Is the covid vaccine effective at reducing the chance of contracting, and the severity of cases of, covid? Yes. And that is what vaccines typically do. As for stopping its spread: the original vaccine came very close to herd immunity against Alpha, yes. What it didn't stop (but did mitigate) was Delta, which evaded some of the proteins it targeted and which was so much more contagious that even substantial protection wasn't enough for R << 1.

As for the word "vaccine": a vaccine is a deliberate exposure of the body to an infectious agent or a component of such in order to sensitize the immune system against it. The covid vaccine, which exposes the body to a protein that is a component of covid (an infectious agent) qualifies. The delivery method is novel, but the principle - using a component of an infectious agent to sensitize the immune system - is the same.
I assume they made this small post for those already familiar with the case, and they'll have new larger write-ups on it as the appeal draws nearer. It reads like an update for those already subscribed to their newsletter on the issue.

It really is jarring that this is about the actual justification for a war, and his response basically boils down to "well we don't know they haven't done it or if they might in the future".

I think it would be awesome if Amazon could offer hosted AGPLv3 software, plus revenue share with the developers, code contributions to the original project and public forks containing non-upstreamable changes.
The emergency lending has almost no relevance in this case, which is about controlled digital lending as a whole
Intelligence 20, Wisdom 3.
Yup, exactly. I was one of the last mortals to get a copy of the software for my BMW motorcycle and now field emails from riders worldwide looking for service data.
The initial ruling cited emergency lending to justify banning all digital lending and the case was only brought up due to it as well.

It has the utmost relevance. It’s no coincidence the initial suit happened mere months after the emergency lending began.
Besides precedent it's still more than that. At the least 14th amendment
> No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

And last clause says Congress has three power to enforce this
Volvo's data is only available via digital subscription.

BMW motorcycle data is not available at all to consumers anymore, only certified techs.

Suzuki doesn't publish data, but Clymer usually fills the gap.

By contrast, Honda will still sell you some really great dead tree manuals on their motorcycles.
The article has the warrant severed, not the warrant request, which would include suspected crimes, evidence, and rationale.

Searching journalists is completely legal depending on the reason
Heck, at least with SQL Server 2017, I've been able to write updates to a thin view, and so long as the columns referenced were not ambiguous, the database would handle the underlying tables and locks required.
From the linked Cornell article:

>...it shall be unlawful for a government officer or employee, in connection with the investigation or prosecution of a criminal offense, to search for or seize any work product materials possessed by a person reasonably believed to have a purpose to disseminate to the public a newspaper, book, broadcast, or other similar form of public communication

... followed by a bunch of caveats about cases in which it is acceptable to seize documents. I'm not a lawyer, but that sounds to me like a federal law protecting journalists. Whether or not it was violated in this case remains to be seen.

Personally I find it more naive to think that tiptoeing around book publishers in fear hoping that they can slowly make small progress is the smarter move. They're not going to make serious progress in the fight against unfair online lending terms by appeasing publishers.
They're so out of control. The wiki foundation has had money pouring out of their ears for over a decade, and their new initiatives impact wikipedia only very indirectly. Don't be bamboozled into thinking your 5 bucks is needed to keep the servers running.

So journalists can't be searched with a warrant for murder or rape?

This is an incomplete summary of the laws
Right, but Congress passed a law which limited its own scope to interstate commerce. So while the 14th Amendment makes it eligible in general its specific applicability depends on it itself.

And sadly this perhaps qualifies as "due process" in Marion County.
In fact, people said at the time that it was ridiculous to believe that the Sweden case (where charges were never laid, and the whole case was dropped due to lack of evidence, picked up by another prosecutor, run with for several years with all sorts of procedural irregularities, and then dropped again for lack of evidence before the statute of limitations expired) might just be a ruse to make it easier to extradite him to the States.

Because people very strongly said this was only about accusations of sex crimes and the US would never lay charges for publishing - because that would mean what the New York Times does is illegal, we were told.
I’m not sure how you can have this opinion given the result. The internet archive would have clearly been better off “tiptoeing” around
I'm not in Marion County but I am in the general vicinity. This is both surprising and unsurprising. And probably explains why my own county's newspaper sticks to stories about school board meetings and who had the winning hog at 4H. My county may be as corrupt as Marion, or it might be fine. All I can know is gossip and reading in between the lines of Facebook comments. There's no oversight beyond unverified hearsay.

What the Marion County Record is doing is incredibly vital for their community. I just went to their web page. They currently don't have a fundraiser yet, but I hope they'll start one.

> the keynote speech is delivered to set the underlying tone...

The tone it sets is not about (or for) developers.
According to the paper's recent reporting, a prominent local businessperson, Kari Newell, had been driving while her licence was suspended for drunk driving, with the knowledge of local police.

http://marionrecord.com/dispatch/police_raid_newspaper_offic...

Previously she had accused the newspaper of obtaining the information illegally.

There's also a headline from their last week's issue, "Media ejected from open forum" that seems likely to be related. Google's cache of the article is at: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3... so I'll give a relevant quote for when that expires:

> Two representatives of the news media were ordered by Marion police chief Gideon Cody to leave a public reception Tuesday for U.S. Rep. Jake LaTurner.

> Cody’s directions came at the behest of Kari Newell, proprietor of Chef’s Plate in Marion’s Historic Elgin Hotel and its coffee shop across the street, Kari’s Kitchen, where the event was taking place.

> Cody said that Newell asked that Record publisher Eric Meyer and Record reporter Phyllis Zorn be evicted before LaTurner arrived.

> Moments before Cody ordered Meyer and Zorn to leave, Newell had told Zorn: “I will not have members of the media in my establishment. You have to leave.”

SBF's lawyers sent the judge a document authored by a person who works at the detention center stating how the conditions were very poor. Not good enough for SBF apparently. There is some strange irony in being detained for alleged wire fraud and then demanding access to the internet.

Please do not discount my experience.

On a high karma Reddit account I was warned by an admin about banning for a specific story they wanted suppressed, and the post was deleted.

On Facebook I have been blocked from sending specific links from 3 different URLs in IMs, the last of which was because it had a contrary position about the Ukrainian war (the website Southfront which is Russian govt affiliated) when I was talking with a friend of mine that happens to have a Ukrainian wife. We were talking about stories in the news in the West vs East and what was the actual story.
