To me, it seems like there will be a finite set of pre and post conditions ever needed for 99% of future programming, and eventually everything will be a catalog of the conditions to working code.

One just needs a language to write those conditions in.
And (most) people buy those copyrighted books.
Those people are entering into and abiding by a license agreement when they purchase the book.
It’s more than 35TB per license. Considering their lowest cost advanced team is 3 licenses that’s 105 TB across the team.

They also say 99% of their users aren’t affected by this so is it automatically abusive? I don’t know. But it doesn’t sound like they are blaming their legitimate users, just that 1%.
> And that's where "influences" and "creators" and such step in

The idea that we're still individually-empowered by personal computing and have simply outsourced some of it to "peers who care more" is a comforting thought... but it doesn't seem match the current reality.

Most of those influencers/creators/curators etc. exist at the pleasure of large service-owners, who have their hands on the controls to boost/hide/de-monetize them based on whatever makes investors happy. Not just in terms of news and opinion (Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) but also tools themselves when it comes to the encroaching "app stores".

Following someone's self-hosted blog using a content-agnostic RSS reader is the exception now, not the rule.
> In fact, it doesn't seem too farfetched for somebody to build a purely text-prompted image searcher that can accept "looks like $target" as part of the search string, and have it go find a picture of the face, then combine that with the rest of the query text. Again, if the images are out there, it'll find them.

Then it's the search engine which makes/keeps and publishes the association between actress names and their images, and publishing that association would be illegal. In other words, the search engine should not make an inference, this image looks like a specific actress => this image is of this actress.

> Also, I don't think there's any functional difference between allowing an image to be tagged as "Princess Leia" or "Hermione Granger" and allowing that image to be tagged as "Carrie Fisher" or "Emma Watson". That just means that the character name becomes a widely known, thinly veiled code for the actress name.

I think there is a difference. People already understand that Lena Headey is not an actual IRL evil queen. Look at where the reputation risk comes from - it comes from the association with our real-world identities, not with those of their characters. Why should the actress care if her character is depicted doing something bad?

Ultimately I think, the whole "reputation risk" is stupid, and humans should know better not to judge others based on some random image, and consequently, not to worry about being judged from some random image; that would really solve the problem. But perhaps it's too much to ask, so we have to draw the line somewhere.
>Steady rise then big rise and then a crash regressing to the mean. Point is - we don't know.

What's being observed is not a regression to the mean, it's a system under external forcing. That's hard to predict, but it doesn't justify pseudoscientific denialism.

>The long-term increase in sea ice near the coast of Antarctica has been explained by a delayed response to orbital forcing and the long memory of the SO (Renssen et al., 2005).

The "rise" since 1975 also has not been "steady", as can be seen clearly in the graph:

How fast would the penguins need to walk to have reached safety? how fast was the ice breaking? took more than a month, right?
Thanks! As someone just getting started, I really appreciate the tip!
Because the API also needs some separation. The same reason you would want your services isolated in VMs instead of all running in one bare metal.
It depends on just how much data and how extensive that data collection was. I have recently being trying to get data on various projects and when you read their fine print associated with that data, it is not any where near as extensive as they imply.

I have my doubts that the data collected in this case is sufficient for the claims made based on what I have seen occurring elsewhere.
Well, I know in France there was a citizens convention for the climate that developed citizens-led initiatives such as banning short flights and so on. That's significant. When you say "consumers would revolt against these policies", would they? Because representative citizens assemblies pretty much prove you otherwise, these are not political activists that got together to push an agenda; it's the result of a representative (through sortition) sample of the french people. Maybe in America things would be different, but I honestly wouldn't say with certainty that it is so.

Although for the citizens convention for the climate in France from the ~180 proposals only 30ish were approved by congress. So this shows the tension between what people might want and what congress is willing to pass; probably because congress is under a much higher pressure from lobbying, so they're much less bold.

But really, my point here is that there are political alternatives. These are not very well known but they're very much real. I know climate movements and activists in other countries, such as Norway, are very much aware of these and these are the policies they want to push for.

So I would say, really, there's a big difference between not knowing and not being involved and actually not any viable alternatives to the problem being out there. I would say the first step is awareness and is involvement. Literally, just talking about it in a serious manner and not simply going "ugh, but politics is so useless!". Ask yourself why and what is being done and what people are trying out there. Because a lot is being tried, particularly in Europe. Just get involved locally and bring these ideas forward.

Basically what I'm saying is we should be pushing for a "let us actually decide for ourselves" movement rather than specifically something about climate. And this I believe is something a lot of people can agree on, from the current polarized political spectrum. As there is a very real crisis of representation in our democracies. No one likes politicians.
I wrote about these too: https://vaibhavsagar.com/blog/2018/07/29/hamts-from-scratch/! Unfortunately it's in Haskell which probably makes it less approachable than it would be otherwise.
Humans have gone "enough is enough", but not the ones with the power to change things, as they're all wealthy/connected enough that neither they or any of their children will suffer negative effects. Imagine telling them they'll have to cut their 4 European vacations a year down to 2.

To play devil's advocate a bit, perhaps the challenge isn't to rid ourselves of psychos, but to find a mechanism for ensuring a healthy mix of personalities in power. It takes different strokes to move the world.
A major advantage of brick-and-mortar is that you can browse and look at things up close. Lose that, and there's very little reason left not to shop online.
Who cares about the good news? On balance it's irrelevant and where it's not there's thousands of other things to work on next. Anyone who wants news modified around their feelings, to hear about puppies returned to their owners, should go read fiction and leave reality to the adults.

There is an urgent, multi-layered problem to solve. Needing to feel good through this is pathetic. Humanity at its weakest.
I stand by what I said, but I am just the messenger.

Everywhere its easy to see evidence of the tipping point accelerating.

There's extremely good reason to panic at this stage.

>> But this is one year. A single data point. It's absurd to come to such an extreme conclusion based on a single year of (admittedly very scary) data.

Nope - this year is part of a statistical heat trend. It's not up and down, some years cooler, some warmer. It's getting hotter every year.

Plants and animals and the ocean ecosystem will be devastated by this.

The human food supply depends on seasons, and seasons are being massively disrupted. If plants don't product food then that's a big problem.

I would wonder what do you gain from denying this is where the problem has got to? Why do you need it to not be at catastrophe level right now?
The legal requirements and cultural qualifications to become a fully enfranchised Athenian citizen were already pretty self-selecting for what that society wanted in a more consensus driven way than most modern countries have.

I'm not understanding how it's different. For example, if I specifically set out to make money by creating and selling a parody of Harry Potter by reading all the Harry Potter books a bunch of times, does that make my parody a violation of the spirit of existing copyright law?

Edit to add another example because someone is going to say that parody is its own thing and exempted. If I want to make money by writing a film in the same way Tarantino does I go and read all his screenplays to understand his style, pacing, character archetypes, etc. Should that also not be ok?

Thanks for this history lesson that is completely in the past tense and now that the Soviets have been abolished they'll no longer have any such situation in their now-proud post-Communist nation of justice and rule of law. Whew.

/s
And that doesn't change my point, does it?

This one year, or the year previous, is not evidence that the ecosystem of the planet is going to collapse in 10 years.

It's one year in a long and alarming trendline, but to extrapolate that to such an extreme conclusion is completely unwarranted.

> Rhetoric of restrained caution hasn't really served us well.

First, I didn't suggest "restrained caution". I can only speculate as to how you came to that conclusion.

Second, rhetoric that we're all gonna die by 2030 and nothing can be done is far more harmful.
I'm starting to think industrial CO2 sequestering is a fantasy too
I suppose the message is that it's possible for an individual to have a better outcome at work (maybe even a better life) as a psychopath than if they had not been born as one.
Same. Love Obsidian, and pay for Sync mostly to contribute to the fantastic work they do.
That is an absurd conclusion to draw.

So you, and others, can know it's a global problem, needing more real leadership than ever before.
“Allowed” by whom?

The police employed by authoritarian countries? Yes, though I don’t think corrupt officials should take bribes.

The judges employed by those countries who recognize necessity as an excuse for what is otherwise a crime? Yes, though now the law seems less authoritarian.

INTERPOL? Depends on the law.

How does this relate to the topic a hand?
It's true one may not need a professional engineering license in automotive, aerospace, and some other areas, but one still generally needs to meet certain educational requirements, e.g., an 4-year engineering degree from an ABET-accredited or otherwise reputable institution.

This is unlike programming, where "self-taught" or "dropped out of college" is sufficient.
Over my years of reviewing companies backup & disaster recovery capabilities, there is one key part of all of this which is how you can recover the backups if your stack fails or part thereof.

Have you tested your ability to recover these backups at all levels? e.g. OS, DBMS and data.

If so, it would be worth including that in your article. Appreciating that not everyone has the same use case or the same risk appetite but it is important.
There is lag built into warming and sea ice reduction. Even if we collectively cried enough tomorrow the penguins might still not make it.
No they aren't. Where's the Terms of Service for a book? What about secondhand books or books you get from the library or books you borrow from a friend?

I never had a book tell me to an accept a license agreement before I could read it.

Clearly they arrested and intend to prosecute him or he wouldn't have been in jail after having been arrested and charged.
If you're making the excessively literal claim that they don't put cases dismissed on procedural grounds in the textbook, actually sometimes they do, because the procedural issue gets appealed and the appellate court writes a significant opinion about it.

But that still doesn't affect whether the substantive issue is a textbook case. You could have the facts of the case exactly match an existing Supreme Court precedent, but that doesn't help the plaintiff if the statute of limitations has run.
The answer from CraigW is in direct contradiction with his opening comment. Toxic.
The complete opposite is probably sufficient as well. It gets a lot easier to tolerate bullshit when you realize almost every stranger's asshole-ish behavior is a function of something wrong with themselves or their environments.

I just look at those behaviors as huge billboards that broadcast what's wrong with that person (as long as it's a stranger; if they're not a stranger it's a completely different story)
This has always seemed to be like the best aproach. You never want people that gravitate towards positions of authority to be in such positions. For positions that require some degree of competence you have to settle with what you get, but what qualifications do politicians actually have?.

Its not like we have the modern equivalent of the ancient chinese civil servant exam so that civil servants at least have some basic level of competency. Picking at random cannot possibly be any worse than what we have, it would reduce corruption and would create the incentive to invest more in the education of the general public.
No, because parody is a specifically protected category under the law [0].

But, as with many things, the legality would ultimately depend on the nuances of the implementation.

Great photos. Interior design magazines/articles are a little about voyeurism - try to bring in some details about people's family situation/life drama/get them to talk about an item that has personal meaning for them/talk about how much $$$ certain things cost.
We've become so obsessed with the acquisition of ever more money that it is simply more important than anything else.

Until that isn't the driving force in our society, I can't see much changing sadly.
I've been able to correctly choose the US president 1 year out based on BBC coverage at the time. That subliminal programming of hearts and minds takes time. US journalists are the same, they carryout that subliminal programming on the US population. Its so orchestrated, I really dont know why I watch the news.

If Trump wants to claim he had the election stolen, then look at media reporting bias of candidates in the run up to the election.

I'll go on the record here and now and say, the Labour party will be winning the next UK general election. The british press are already giving more labour party candidates air time, to get their faces known, so this bunch of unknowns wont come as a shock to the public the day after the election.
Why should we assume any random person to be either more competent or trustworthy than a politician?

> I mean...nothing in this world is unlimited for real.

Maybe don't call it unlimited storage then :D
Figuring out how to get all the crate source code extracted was the first step, yes. But when after that, the object oriented nature meant that there were often many different foo functions, so I had to dig through the code to figure out what type of object I was dealing with and which type each of the different foo implementations dealt with.

Whereas in FreeBSD I just grep for ^foo and the one and only line returned is where foo is implemented -- because if there's different versions of foo, they have different names.

Namespaces sound good in principle but they impose a mental load of "developers need to know what namespace they're currently in" -- which is fine for the original developer but much harder for someone jumping into the code for the first time.

Perhaps it wasn't clear enough. But I've mentioned most of this in my post:

> By default, I already use the backup option on my VPS that is configurable per Cloud provider ( in my case, my Windows Servers run on Vultr and Linux servers on Hetzner). So I won’t go into detail on this.

Which basically handles backup and restore from systems within the cloud provider I'm using.

My data and db's are stored 'externally'. And I restore them regularely (locally) to test things ( eg. before I deploy to prod and/or repro a bug). So I test my backups ~every 2 weeks since I've added them in my dev workflow.

> Being able to reproduce a production issue in dev under 2 minutes from any device that I own, has been a time-saver

An extra precaution would be to simple sync the BackBlaze bucket to my local NAS, but that doesn't seem to be required atm.

Tldr: yes, I test my backups since I use them in my dev workflow.
Libraries exist. Borrowing books from a friend exists. Even if you stole the book, using the knowledge you learned from it to make money is not copyright infringement.

If you steal a book about how to make money flipping houses and then start flipping houses, at worst you are on the hook for a minor theft. The author can't sue you for illicitly learning to flip houses from the stolen book. That is just not how that works at all.
Oh, it won't be 10 years, stop hoping for entertainment!

It will be a long, slow, boring grind taking place over generations. It already has been. I'm 43 and 66% of the world population is younger than me. I remember there were lots more insects (and amphibians and birds!) when I was a child. That's not considered a crisis for some reason, there's never been a protest about bugs as far as I can tell, and never some apocalyptic "Ahh, all the bugs just died!" moment. It's been "Ho hum, let me spray some more pesticide on my lawn to kill those pesky grubs again" the whole way.

The next generation will have never known what it was like to have XYZ plant or animal or insect or fish around, and they won't miss it.
The good thing is that change is happening. There is a lot of improvement and we’ve cut the correlation between growth and emissions.

The bad part is that it’s happening way too slow because of a lack of collective action as you suggest.

I don’t believe the problem is fundamentally democracy. Democratic countries have taken action in the past famously with CFCs that was probably unthinkable. But clearly Democracy is insufficient.

We’ve tried several mechanisms but none of them have worked so far.
The PFAS sticks to glass, but doesn't absorb into the glass. Meaning the PFAS isn't coming from the straw manufacture, but rather later - perhaps during washing.

Meaning they are not being careful to distinguish between PFAS as included by the manufacturer, and PFAS that comes later.

So all the PFAS they found - is that just PFAS from the local water supply? If so the entire research is called into question.

(I highly doubt glass straws are being marketed as easy clean - the coating doesn't stay, you have to reapply it, so I doubt they would bother spending that money on straws for something temporary.)

Well, sure, provided that by "consensus" you mean the opinions of adult, free, male citizens who probably constituted no more than 30 percent of the total adult population.

Athens was a literal minority patriacharcy of landlords, and I don't say that to be contentious or a social justice warrior, etc. just to blandly point out a dull truth.
Why do we put spaces after punctuation in English?It's completely redundant.actually,why even put a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence?it can obviously be inferred.

OK, I'll stop now, but the point is: matching braces provide visual structure that's helpful to read code, even if it's syntactically redundant.
tldr; Burning Man attendees who rent trucks may be responsible for the cost of cleaning those trucks.

Did you, through copyright infringement, acquire your copies of Harry Potter? Did you use Harry Potter source material and a machine to transform the input and produce your parody material?

I think it's different if OpenAI acquires licenses for all of the material it uses for training.
I will once again recommend Helene Landemore's "Open Democracy" as well as Camila Vergara's "Systemic corruption: constitutional ideas for an anti-oligarchic republic".

I think seeing what the french convention for the climate produced is really helpful. I had flaws of course but overall a very positive opportunity that has been definitely further refined with the convention for the end of life. And now we are already seeing a push for others one to tackle the pension crisis in France.

These are real political alternatives, as of now, there is little real power that are given to these. But mostly people don't even know what's possible so they're just not pushed by the public.

I believe pushing for more popular power and better (real) representation that's not tied to voting is our only way of addressing the corruption that's present in our political systems, dominated by oligarchic/elitist/plutocratic ideas. We are not powerless, it's possible, we just need to be aware of what are the right alternatives that we ought to push for and start coordinating to bring these to the masses.

At the very least, I believe, different social movements should be pushing for the same "tools" to be used to address the problem. I know climate change groups push for something similar to the citizen's convention for the climate in their own respective countries. But these things are "new". I encourage you to take a look at the books I recommended in the beginning, see if maybe your perspective is shifted a bit and you become a little more optimistic :)
