> Lots of stuff on YouTube is only permitted because the rightsholders allow it to stay up - every cover of every modern song, for example.

And many of those rights-holders only allow it because YouTube built a mechanism that helps them detect these uses and then automatically siphon off ad revenue it generates.
yeah, don't wrap all calls to a standard lib in another homegrown or non-standard single-digit user lib that makes changes in all sort of subtle ways. There are plenty of C++ projects that make their own or wrap stdlib and they are always a big wtf.

It's one thing to have an abstraction for kafka in your code, it's another to wrap the client in a smart client that reimplements something like rabbitmq, and much worse a smart service.
They find the resources when it's time to go after their political enemies or make an example of a commoner. Or did you really believe this bill is meant to protect children?

I got the impression there is one place for medium voltage DC in the home. Solar panels have inverters to make AC from DC, and batteries also need to convert DC to AC. It would be more efficient if the solar panels and batteries were connected directly with DC, and if there was a single, efficient inverter. It makes the most sense to use the battery DC voltage, and then solar panels have variable DC converter.

It would make sense for off-grid home to distribute DC. DC appliances could be more efficient but they don't exist. Everyone will use inverter and AC wiring.
Cool! Of course there's a mod like that; what I was expecting? Thanks for the link :)
MDN goes into great detail, but the important point is that JavaScript fixed this with let and const.

[ 3, 3, 3 ]
> a = []; for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) a.push(() => i); a.map(f => f())
[ 0, 1, 2 ]
> a = []; for (i of "abc") a.push(() => i); a.map(f => f())
[ 'c', 'c', 'c' ]
> a = []; for (const i of "abc") a.push(() => i); a.map(f => f())
[ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]
I dislike "the same people who" comments, but I agree with the sentiment. A lot of us have very little ability to determine the validity of this study over that, but will confidently voice an opinion anyway.

The only way (imo) to stay on firm ground is to acknowledge that someone published a thing saying xyz, and maybe that you are x% convinced by it. Can't get too far out over your skis going that route.
That would be blatant. There are subtler ways.

I expect that the overlap between "honestly care for childrens' quality of life" and "understands the ramifictions of this bill to any significant extent" is near zero. (Though there are doubtless many people who have inaccurately convinced themselves they are members of both classes.)
> 30-day supply of generic PrEP costs ~$2,500

Er, no, generic Truvada costs $30-$60/month, although it was not available as a generic in 2019, which is when the mandate for free PrEP without cost-sharing was first issued. (The mandate was issued in 2019, but it did not fully go into effect until 2021).

That said, the drug costs aren't the only (or even biggest) costs associated with PrEP - the doctors' vists and labwork are much more. Under the ACA, those were required to be covered for free on all insurance plans, but a judge in Amarillo, TX blocked that as part of a ruling on a lawsuit against abortion care.

> and for potential liver and kidney damage

They aren't checking for liver damage. They do check for indications that the drug isn't being absorbed correctly, which is done via a test for kidney functioning, but kidney issues for both Truvada and Descovy as PrEP are extremely rare. And there are no liver concerns associated with either one.

Unfortunately, it has no chance without support from regressives.
"It's very easy to be fooled by a vocal minority of people who complain about your app sucking when the majority are getting value from it."

Does this apply to "feature requests" by a minority whereby the majority then has to accept those "features".
Due to the GPL, eventually all commits will find their way into the OpenJDK repos, it is sort of similar to how vulnerabilities are handled — with paid support, you will be the first to get updates. Also, since Oracle does most of the development on the main branch as is, they have deep understanding of those patches - while during backporting it may not be as expertly implemented.

But Oracle also backports commits to older JDKs, e.g. Java 8 is supported for 2030, though that is paid.

The main takeaway is that it is still a singular project where bugfixes definitely, but even most custom features find their way eventually back to mainline (e.g. it was the case that Microsoft made some specific feature for their usecase, that was later merged).
I'm sorry to say that I've personally witnessed some people in the next lab commit fraud. It was investigated and someone was fired, but I can believe that it is all too common.
Thanks for the clarification. The limit of 30 repos per user is indeed more reasonable.
The support for Github Enterprise which would necessitate the Enterprise tier, is that referring to all flavors of GH Enterprise or only the on prem version?
> Their resources would go further if they left.

No, because they would have to pay on the open market for the things those taxes provide for. The tax they’re paying is insignificant compared to their costs.

You’ll note their developer costs are a fraction of what they would be in the US.
The point of much recent legislation isn't enforcement on a large scale. It's to give the state the right to spy on and arrest anyone at all, since they criminalize ordinary behaviour. It creates an atmosphere of fear and conformity.
That seems to be what the person you're responding to is proposing. I think they realize this is not currently the law...
Your post was already outdated. Abuse charges have to be reported to the police, and the police is investigating, as is his employer at the time the BBC.

Your spinning this as “just a story” is disingenuous. This “story” was investigated by top journalists for over a year, and published in a prestige news journal. Both the journalists working on the story and the paper that published it have their journalistic integrity at stake here. They wouldn’t publish this story unless they had some very credible sources to back them up.

So to correct you, this isn’t just an allegation. These are a series of very credible allegation which are under investigation by several authorities.

Of course it is up to you if you believe those allegations, I just hope you realize how credible these allegations are before you do so, and if you chose to not believe the victims, I hope you understand that you might have some unfortunate biases which makes you favor the accused.
Sexual assault is a serious allegation. In most media channels if an employee is accused of sexual assault they would be stood down and an investigation launched. He’s lucky they’re still giving him a platform to use.
> don't wrap all calls to a standard lib

Im not saying to expose the same primitives - what would be the point in that? I am saying that EVERY lib you use will be using the standard lib or some abstraction of it to perform its own utility.

> It's one thing to have an abstraction for kafka in your code, it's another to wrap the client in a smart client, and much worse a smart service.

That abstraction is exactly what i am talking about. Why write 50 lines of boilerplate multiple times throughout your code when you can wrap that up in a single function call and expose THAT as your client. You know thats exactly what you will end up doing on any non-trivial project. Or you could use a lib that already does that - such as the "official" kafka streams lib.
This nonsense again? Where it is controlled per module, effectively making it impossible to review code for correctness without checking those controls. This is an anti-feature. If you can't be bothered to make a local copy or reference the correct variable, the problem is the developer. Not the language.
At some point the private platform becomes so influential over the information environment and politics that it can no longer be considered merely a private platform. It is now also a public square. It’s not unreasonable at that point to require it to adhere higher standards of evidence, law, and reason.

In this case, I’m no fan of Brand, but I’m even less a fan of YouTube’s apparent policy of “guilty till proven innocent” here. How about waiting till he and his accuser/s have had their day in a court, and jury of peers weighs the evidence and decides his guilt?
I don't think Nintendo wants to be acquired. And I imagine a hostile takeover would go over very poorly.
Is this loop variable problem really a theory issue (if so, does it have a label)? Or, primarily a practical one? Is there a database of known and historical programming language problems that are nicely tagged with "theory problem", "frequent foot-gun", etc?

> Microsoft could lose every major Xbox franchise and have it only be, what, ~10%-20% on their stock reports as a whole company?

Less than even that probably, since you're not talking about Xbox revenue as a whole, just the first party IP.

25% of Microsoft's revenue right now comes from a huge bucket of items:

> Windows commercial and cloud products, Windows OEM, Surface, search and advertising, and Xbox

First party IP (including their game studios like Bethesda, not just Xbox studios) probably puts you in the single digits for revenue for the company.

> Whereas, if Nintendo lost Mario, the blow would be catastrophic.

Completely agree. Nintendo's ecosystem is such that Mario and Zelda sell hardware, which then they get licensing fees from third party titles that people are buying, because they want more than just Mario and Zelda.

Maybe people resort to a life of crime because it makes them money and they like money, not because they have no other option. People readily accept that rich people do morally wrong things (like exploit their employees etc) for more money. So why assume that the only reason people in general would do morally wrong things is because they need to to feed their family?

Seems like there should be guidelines for what you can and cannot do to get YouTube monetization (that people can squabble over). Seems very ad-hoc to do it this way. It surprises me that being accused of a crime would be a good or fairly enforced rule.

Unlikely, since uploaders don't really have a contractual relationship with YouTube. Platform operators can just arbitrarily kick people off with no recourse or accountability or even a clear explanation. There's no workaround for this except through regulation, aka government overreach into the free market destroying jobs and freedoms (as objections are usually phrased).

Governments do a lot of things that are effectively investing time and resources into their homegrown companies--things like education of the populace, building and maintaining physical infrastructure, and management of the legal system, to name just a few essentials.

What really stood out to me was his misunderstanding about the growth priorities of the board of Nintendo. Nintendo is a stable company. It doesn't need constant growth to succeed. Something that Microsoft probably could learn a thing or two from a much older and still successful business.

> who can't just now pluck messages off a queue to process

The problem is you cannot mark individual messages as read, for a given consumer&partition you can only update the offset for a partition.

If a certain message processing takes very long, all other messages in that partition will have to wait.

Also, with kafka, the max read concurrency is equal to the number of partitions, for something like rabbitMq it is much higher; but you do get nice message ordering for any given partition in kafka which you do not get in RabbitMq (afik); you are also get some really nice data locality with kafka because unless the consumers get the partitions re-assigned, all messages for the same key are served on the same physical consumer.

The majority (I'd say all) of the Eastern-European countries that are also NATO members do in fact bow to the US, and thus to the NSA/FBI/the Secret Service.
At least they survived the CD-i Mario + Zelda games and the, uh, not-so-classic TV shows based on both franchises.
This is a category error. Courts use a methodology that's the best one we have for discovering the truth. They don't always do it well (e.g. the OJ case) and you as an individual can use the same methodology to understand if something happened or not. It's the methodology, not the "being a court" that is key.

> In fact I’d argue Nintendo would be better off, now being able to make games without worrying about hardware as everything would be playable across a billion plus devices.

I'm pretty sure that Nintendo employees disagree with you. They strongly believe in the value of the holistic approach combining its hardware and software. And Apple (or whatever US big techs) will definitely not change iPhone design just for Mario or Zelda.
The difference between questioning everything and rejecting everything from the mainstream is an important one which Brand and many others seem not to understand.
And then as a counter-example, Boox frequently (always?) refuses to release kernel sources because... basically "we don't feel like it and nobody's ever going to be able to force us anyway" reasons, last I read.

It’s true FOSS, and the server is standalone Go binary that’s so small it can even be embedded. Lots of language bindings for clients. Has persistence, durability, and nicely aligns into a raft-like cluster in a DC without a separate orchestrator.

Honestly, medical security is more theater than real security. The people with marketing prowess sell crap for much, much more of a markup to the medical world than to most other industries, excepting perhaps military, and just like many other areas, marketing has much more of an influence than actual security.

Pretty much all of my experience in medical security to date has been playing games to paper over horribly insecure defaults that should never have been considered in the first place. Companies would rather things that are known to be insecure that others are using, so everyone is in the same boat, so to speak, than to choose something demonstrably more secure that nobody else is using.

In other words, learn about marketing, marketing forces, and securing things after the fact.
> It seems instead more geared towards the passive consumption of information, entertainment, and casual gaming, whereas we're trying to build something that can realistically replace a (Linux) laptop.

FWIW, it appears that Apple themselves don't see it as that. They are focusing on consumption for the initial release, but there are clear plans to bring "full" macos apps to Vision Pro.

They haven't released everything, but what you need to know is in the category they're placing AVP: computer. They refer to it as a computer, repeatedly. Not a mobile device. And, all of their computers run Xcode. I would be very surprised if we don't hear more about that by next year.
It's almost certainly fair use. The Copyright Act explicitly allows the use of copyrighted material for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and the like. Courts have historically been sensitive to First Amendment concerns when copyrighted materials are used for transformative purposes. In Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., 510 U.S. 569 (1994), the U.S. Supreme Court emphasized the transformative nature of parody as a form of commentary, giving it a wide berth under fair use.

Now, onto the crux of your argument about implicit commentary. Even if a work does not contain explicit commentary, the juxtaposition of clips alone can function as a form of critique or commentary. This is especially relevant when highlighting inconsistencies or ironies in public discourse. While there isn't direct commentary, the act of selectively piecing together these clips communicates a larger point or message. Courts often look at the 'purpose and character' of the use, and if it is transformative—adding new meaning or context—it's generally favored under fair use.
> "Men's sexuality is dangerous and unnecessary" - who is saying this?

I just took the literal string used by the commenter—"Men's sexuality is dangerous and unnecessary"—and did a Google search with it. What comes up is a mix of pages where people say something to this effect, or else argue against it. My takeaway is that at the very least, it's something that's being said enough to require arguing against.
Bard: The author argues that ASI is likely to be developed soon and that it could have devastating consequences such as

1 The development of new weapons that could easily destroy humanity.
2 The accidental release of harmful substances or organisms.
3 The displacement of humans from the workforce, leading to widespread poverty and unrest.
4 The loss of control of AGI, which could lead to them making harmful decisions

1, 2, and 3 were concerns before AI, but we've managed so far. 4 seems to be the one that is most terrifying, but then we shouldn't be putting AI in control of nuclear weapon launches or other potentially harmful activities
