I think there's two different arguments going on. A key difference between today and the two thousand years that came before is you can make a perfect replica of the source material. Selling a bit-for-bit copy of a song or book is fundamentally different than oral traditions of story telling or an acoustic cover of a popular song.

I'm not saying copyright is perfect. DMCA takedowns for songs playing in the background of live newsworthy events or video game play throughs aren't helping the author/creator. Legal battles over songs that coincidentally sound the same are silly to me as well.

I'm less sold on the value of remixing art. It can be done well, but often feels like a lazy attempt at capitalizing on the original creation.

We don't have to agree on any of that. The person I was replying to seemed to be making the argument that copyright terms were bad because he/she/they wanted to buy a copy of whatever on the open market where hypothetically everything is public domain. I can't comprehend the level of entitlement that leads to someone saying they should have free access to another person's work and then claims without evidence that this will spur innovation or creativity. To me, it seems clear the lack of copyright would just rapidly accelerate the decline of the humanities. Artists struggle enough. The patron model of the Renaissance is gone. The modern day minstrel can't afford rent and food. Copyright is central to how they earn a living and about the only protection they have against parasites that add nothing from taking everything.

I'm all for revisiting and revising modern copyright law. I just think tossing it all together is going to hurt society. Whatever new duration we choose should reflect the reality of just how long it can take to build a business/following/audience. Ten years seems way too short; I see artists deciding the risk:reward ratio makes it not worthwhile.

Maybe that means only the "true" artists will persist, but my experience with open source software suggests otherwise. There's some remarkable open source software out there given away freely by volunteers, but there's also a whole body of software that benefits society that only gets written because the rights holder can afford to make an investment that volunteers can't or won't. That works because there's a potential to earn something when all finished.
I believe the original was “possession is 9 points of the law” and over time it has been bastardized into “nine tenths”.
> Sour is slightly different: It is detected by taste bud cells that respond to acidity, researchers recently learned.

Recently? Come, now.

> If an animal takes in too much salt, the body tries to compensate, holding on to water so the blood won’t be overly salty. In many people, that extra fluid volume raises blood pressure. The excess fluid puts strain on the arteries; over time, it can damage them and create the conditions for heart disease or stroke.

This flawed narrative was debunked years ago.

The correct one is something like this: the body can get used to a wide range of sodium intakes. Sodium-following fluid movement is temporary effect. Only certain individuals have a sensitivity linking blood pressure and sodium.
We can wax on about what plastic would be ideal, but ultimately this is about making things from stuff you can find at a local hardware store.

So rather than go down this path, the way to go is to lobby hardware stores to carry "better" (by whatever metrics your judging PVC). It's not like we, as average humans, have unlimited choices in building materials. We choose from what's available at the store. PVC is at the store now.
Everything is politics, then, you're saying?

Funny, because even Hammurabi thought it was worth writing down what was legal and what was not, so people would know.
Everyone should've seen what happened to Cisco and thought better, but short sighted execs focused only on next quarter gladly opened the gates and accepted the horse.

You don't say.

Some of the signage attempts I've seen could easily be read as: "In the second age, the sun god buried his greatest treasure. If you believe with all your heart, dig here."

I desperately want to read this article. Anyone else getting /constant/ cloudflare CAPTCHAS while trying to access archive.ph? Android with mobile Firefox or chrome, first with wifi then mobile then VPN. No matter what I can't access it and it won't stop showing the "are you a human?" check page, even after trying the CAPTCHA the first time it stops showing.

Must be a cloudflare outage?
It tracks things people actually buy.
I've worked on a project that was intended to replace Excel spreadsheets with a web front end. It was presented like we were moving our processes out of the stone age - as if we were replacing a pen-and-paper process that "doesn't scale", or whatever.

I will never do that again. We didn't build a whole spreadsheet engine, but we did build a web UI that simply doesn't do as much as Excel. Excel is powerful. Sometimes it's a fine tool for the job. Our team was laid off before we could roll it out, but I remember the growing sinking feeling of "I would hate using this if I already had a bunch of habits built up in Excel"
Thank you!I get you... let me see what I can do.
> Any reasonable person can expect that the MIT license on this code is valid and authorized by the rightsholder.

Yep, that's the reasonable default position.

If however, the author of the code wrote a length article about how they'd developed this code while working for a company (not in their spare time), and you happen to read the article in question... then for that specific repo you might look at it differently.

The article in question doesn't clarify things regarding the Box derived code, nor whether they sought and received permission from Uber prior to publishing. Absent both of those, I'd personally not use code from this repo.

That's just me being risk-adverse here, as I don't personally have a use for the code. Others might make different choices. :)

" tax works by pooling a percent of sellers revenue."

What the public servant actually does is impose a tribute on the workers in a denomination the public servant determines. If you don't provide the denomination then the public servant confiscates your assets by force.

The population then offers their goods and services in return for the denomination the public servant issues. The public servant then determines the level of the tribute required by how much of its own denomination it gives in exchange for the tribute.

That's the source of money, and the source of the price level.

There is no 'universal exchange commodity'. Money is really just promises between people.

Fred would say to Jim: "here's a pig, owe me one". Fred now has Jim's IOU as an asset which he could give to Bob in exchange for something Bob made so Bob can claim a pig from Jim.
Microsoft's social network is not a blog. A blog is something that exists, no matter what global companies do.

Having as many readers as possible is not my idea of a blog. Writing is the core idea. Laying out thoughts to yourself and to whoever it concerns.

You can always spread the link to your post via social networks, but you don't have to.

People can find your useful posts years later via search engines amd they don't need a login for the full reading amd commenting experience.
I once upon a time burned out on photography and look where it led me. People change, and we should celebrate it.
As in "least efficient so therefore using the most energy to complete a task"?

I supposed that's one way to judge environmental footprint. Pretty sure the climate activists would be unhappy about it though. ;)
The problem is that it was written to smash trusts to smithereens but has had a century of being eroded by well-funded monopolists with expensive lawyers.

If it was working the way it was supposed to, none of these companies would be this big.
Labor costs are cheap there. I wonder if they simply export finished oil-based products such as Gasoline or plastics instead of oil.

Read the article. It's explained there.

A CEO traveling around to meet customers isn't a bad thing. In addition, he's the co-CEO and probably left day to day operations to the real CEO.
Make a ton of test websites to try and reverse engineer how Kagi ranks websites, and then prioritize that over actual good content. The same way people manipulate Google results through SEO.

I've been at a job where we did this with Google. We had about 20 websites and 40 ad campaigns on adwords for fake companies where you could buy used dirty dishes. We wanted a topic that would have zero real-world results aside from us so we could easily compare our hypotheses and someone suggested pre-dirtied dishes. It was hilarious and had almost no search results so we went with that.

Strangely enough after a few weeks we noticed eBay and Amazon were buying the top ad slot for those queries. They probably had some automated way of tracking new trending Google search keywords matching "Buy ____" or "____ for sale".

Seeing "Amazon is the best place to buy Dirty Dishes" as a top ad was also hilarious. In fact if you Google "Buy Dirty Dishes" right now, Etsy is the top result. "Check out our dirty dishes selection for the very best in unique or custom, handmade pieces from our dining & serving shops"

We took our findings from that "research" and applied them to our real customers websites.

These are all just guidelines/heuristics and should not be treated like inviolable laws. Thus all advice should be adapted to the problem at hand in the service of Readability/Comprehensibility first.

Instead of repeating myself, i point you to my other comments in this thread for details.
I have been looking through IndieHacker reported revenues for inspiration like this. What I found is a surprising number of ideas work and make $5k+ MRR and so not to get too hung up on the idea as long as it is feasible that people will pay for it.

For example someone is charging $30/m to convert PDF bank statements to CSV, and someone a similar price to effectively static site generate off a Google Sheet. It is all in how you sell it I guess! These are not trivial products but they are not things you need a team to build.

My thought is to build quick, get in front of people and then iterate on that feedback. Instead of building stealth then finding no one wants it.

Well done on this launch!

I was tempted to build something like this off IH but felt that I am not adding much value since IH already spill the beans. Although maybe running an LLM over each idea to spit out a summary might be cool (maybe I will do that).

I have some other ideas along the idea of build X but sell the side effects, the problems solved along the way.
Github sponsors helped.
But in rough numbers only about 0.1% donate. With 30% I would have more time for maintainance, and I already had to stop some important projects
I can see how it can be called a coup because of the protesters' violence and arguing that difference is pretty pedantic so I have no problem with that.

The main point I was making was in response to the person confidently claiming Nuland orchestrated the coup. I don't think the call shows evidence of that. They only talk about coordinating their support for a candidate.

> And if you want to see the sparking of the coup, this [2] is a video of John McCain (who was working alongside Nuland) instigating and emboldening the protesters, "America is with you. Europe is with you. The destiny you seek lies in Europe!" At the same time this was happening, Nuland was on the ground with protesters, memed as 'handing out cookies.'

I've seen this mentioned before. While I think it's clear who the US supported in this coup and the US was certainly trying to influence the situation, calling John McCain's speech three months before Yanukovych left, the sparking of the coup, is very disingenuous. That speech didn't cause the coup.

I could definitely see the US actually being behind the coup though. They've shamelessly done it countless times throughout history. It's just nothing out there so far is evidence of it.
This sounds like a good step forward for society. However, it’s going to create problems of its own, albeit lesser ones than those it is solving.

When I started my first company, I made the mistake of putting my real address on all government forms and was immediately inundated with junk mail in volumes I had never seen before. I had no choice but to stop all mail at that address. Ever since then, I’ve used mail forwarding services and filed in Delaware. It provides legitimate protection from a broken mail system.

FinCEN claims they are going to put controls in place around how the personal information database can be accessed and used but come on, does anyone actually think that’s going to be effective?

I would be excited for this change if it came with meaningful penalties for abuse of my personal information, including junk mail. But then I suppose the post office would start hemorrhaging even more money and advertisers would rally around fighting it.
To go further, use a VPN that uses UDP and only allow that connection after port knocking three randomly chosen ports.
So much of modern life boils down to this.
Reading isn’t hard. People should try it.
So much talk, without one mention, of the 'sonication of wine' (and spirits too!), the latest invention. I wonder why? Are you shy to confide, there is nothing to hide anymore? Except old-fashionedness. And distress, fear of loss and comfort-zone. The emperor, agein naked on the throne?
Lol. And now your response is the first result, above the Reddit one ;)

Honestly, it's very strange. There must be other cases of this phrase in the history of the internet, and it's bizarre that Google would choose this of all phrases to parse exactly.
Lacks features like mounting a filesystem as read-only to restore though. I find that makes restoring files much simpler. I'll look into bupstash some more perhaps but right now am very happy with Vorta/Borg.
> The "tying together" only feels like "tying" because you get used to the extent the services interact with each other, which is very convenient, and feel like you're unable to change, because you're unwilling to let go of those easy ways of interacting with other services.

The tying together is tying together because you can sensibly separate them and the customer might like to use Microsoft Word with Google Drive or LibreOffice with OneDrive.

> It wouldn't make sense for MS to allow, say, other clients to MS Word to interact with their cloud, that would be anti-competitive in that they're actively shooting themselves in the foot while doing it.

It would be anti-competitive in that it would make it easier to compete with them?

> Google Docs or Notion or Coda are all supersets ot Word vs Excel, using newer tech & hardware to provide a more unified experience, which IS in the interest of the user.

The problem with the "unified experience" argument is that it only justifies putting them together, not inhibiting the customer from separating them. If the "unified experience" is actually in the interest of the customer then they'll choose it even when the alternative is available.

Maybe a little off-topic, but I always wonder if the folks who work on stuff like this ever consider that they might be the bad guys.

Like, sure, maybe the people you're trying to send email to are already customers, or they're otherwise really interested in hearing what you have to say, and maybe that's what they all tell themselves. But "tips for disguising your unsolicited commercial email as legitimate communication so you can succeed in shoving it into people's inboxes" feels like it'd take a lot of reality distortion to not feel guilty about.

Am I just naive? A Hacker News sheep living on grass while the wolves feast on red meat? Is there such a thing as being a conscientious objector for spamfucking people with trashy ads and sales pitches?
It also doesn't find any subdomains for my domain.

In my case I use Google Cloud DNS. Maybe they have some sort of protection in place (I wouldn't be surprised).
My favorite was console control-characters accidentally embedded in plain text by cross-platform document code-page encoding errors.

One learns over the years that every program stage/interface must sanitize input, sanity check formats, and isolate data on a per account log.

Did the user intend "P=0/O" as a joke... we'll never know. =)
Curious, what’s the mail forwarding service you used and how did that stop the junk mail if it presumably got redirected back to you anyway?
"Learnings." Your English is a bit strange. You are not a native speaker I take it?

In my part of the world, legalization has made it harder for kids to get pot, not easier.
Probably not. There aren't deals you need had with air fares. But there are deals to be had with hotels. Hotels have decent margins and they are motivated to sell out every night. Yes, you may get a discount when you call them directly. But generally the discount comes from the person selling you the package, not from the hotel itself.
Why not Kotlin instead of Java? I feel Kotlin is very underrated.

I wish I could upvote this more than once. Those are omissions that could lead to important information being lost in a way that you probably wouldn't notice when checking your backups.
You seem to be conflating gender with sex?
Tangentially related: what is the benefit of Deno KV over something like S3? I see option for atomic transaction, which is nice, but otherwise fewer features for far higher cost. Is it mostly speed?
Not as cool as some of the uses here, but we often use 350 PVC pipes in clients houses as laundry chutes. Best thing is the clean transitions which prevent stuff from getting stuck inside (except children, so make sure to keep these at a reasonable height).
aren't predicates in prolog always starting with a lower letter and only variables with a capital letter?
As others have said, certificate transparency seems to be doing some heavy lifting here. It reports subdomains for me that have never had a public CNAME or A record, but have had let's encrypt certs issued for internal use.

It's also missing some that have not had certs issued, but that are in public DNS
Wow. I’m just thinking of the hoops I’d have to go through to host changing data as a static CSV/ZIP at my employer.

Architects would complain ZIP isn’t a format conform to their specs for this purpose. Compliance would complain there needs to be a check that no private informatie leaked. Risk that I should prevent bad actors from downloading the file. Web people that I need an approved change to add stuff to the site.
DROP DATABASE blah;
Have you read the article?

This isn’t a case of “oops we didn’t know the age”, this is about accounts that had an underage DOB set.
Proprietary tools means passive DNS.
“Corporate open source strategy” where I work is just having a form that engineers can fill out to request to open source things, and a committee on the other end of the form to sign off. It’s similar to the process for speaking at a conference or publishing on the company blog. Management sometimes steers in the direction of more or less public content, but specific releases are always individual initiative by engineers who want to develop their project in the open. Tech brand wants our name associated with high quality work.
I can write some code and follow along with the authors. But is there a resource which would ask for questions and check/develop the learners intuition?

Like given a network what do you think will happen if we change sigmoid to Relu? And then actually change it and show the result?

Our Physics books in high school had pretty nice and challenging questions. I am not sure the best place to access those for ML/AI.
Yes, that's why we're having this conversation. It's so common that some people reasonably infer a stronger connection between units and physics.
A million?
One way to that is by becoming part of the Fediverse where many people are already making that switch and network effects are coming into play more and more. Oyie on its own has a long way to go as a proprietary social media that stands on its own. There are tons of such products and mostly we never hear of them. If you manage to get a group of friends to use it, it is fine though.
Rating estimate came within 30 points of my current FIDE rating. Shockingly accurate!
You might or might not; it's not like Google polls the shareholders to decide what source license to use for each project. Authority gets delegated and every company is different.
Labor isn't a huge factor in taking raw oil and converting it to those refined products. That's done in refineries which are highly automated process driven things. It's not like there are guys turning cranks making oil into plastic. It's a complicated process or chemistry and chemical engineering that happens in miles and miles of pipes.
Okay, let's try a different analogy. Let's say there was an urban fantasy where dragons attack present-day New York. If a character's 1993 Chevy Corvette breaks down because an issue with the carburetor, we wouldn't just say "it's not supposed to be realistic; dragons!" It would rightly be seen as an oversight by the author. Arms and Armor are a technology and D&D at least pretends that the (non-magical) versions of them are based on said technology.
You don't need to read the article, it seems like you understand the problem :)
Deno KV seems more like a redis alternative and not an S3 alternative. The benefit seems to be that it’s built into the runtime itself
Murdoch media was Ai?
This use case is well served by a non admin user as opposed to a machine where Dell is the root user. Furthermore what you desire for your grandmother is liable to be imposed on the rest of us if we want the privilege of banking or Netflix and in many cases grossly abused especially in less free countries including ours should we in the US fall into fascism.

You would build chains for millions of people so that granny will have to give scammers her money some less convenient way.

I'd rather not.
thanks for following up. i've been very curious. there's definitely a lot going on with this listing. luckily, it's not available, so one layer of scam protection is working. however, someone should teach the "artist" about scale and the affect it has on how the viewer.
A great engineer should be both good and great. I do a lot of ‘great’ stuff at work, but that won’t help me to get into my next gig unless I also code a lot and don’t lose my skill.
>That's the source of money, and the source of the price level.

The vast majority of money in the modern economy is created by banks, not by the tax agencies or even the mint. When the bank lends you $1000 they just create it out of thin air and credit your account by $1000.
