Interesting. Notice that 17 USC 512(i)(1)(A) calls for termination of repeat infringers but the rest of the law is careful to talk about alleged infringers. How is a service provider supposed to determine which of the alleged infringements were actually infringements?

As an adjunct to this, the UK, which might have joined this scheme if it was still part of the EU, is now developing its own system called the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) [1]. It'll cost £10 for two years. Currently only in use for a couple of middle eastern countries, but will be rolled out more widely in the future.

Only, if the claim is worth it - most people have a deductible and insurance premiums will go up after a claim, so damage has to be substantial. That still leaves a lot of room for crime that didn’t result in enough damage on a given incident to justify a claim, but ensures the community does not feel safe and still goes unreported in these statistics.
Everything is representable as binary, but not everything is binary. The abstract concept of 'A' has no inherent binary representation, and 0x41 is just one of the options. Representing Pi or e calls for even more abstract encoding, even though they are a very specific concept. Text is not binary, but text has to be encoded to binary (one way or another) in order to do any kind of computer assisted processing of it. But we tend to think of text in abstract terms, instead of "utf-8 encoded bytes", hence this abstraction is useful.
This a culture that HN can’t seem to shake off. It’s almost stereotypical.

I know more and more techies who hate this community because of it.
Well all I can say is that I've worked at 1 startup, 1 agency and 2 very large tech corporates here in Australia, and I've been able to maintain only working 2 - 3 hours a day at each of those companies, as well as maintain a few days not doing anything at all.

And I wouldn't even consider myself top-tier at what I do.

Although to your point, I think Australian work culture is very flexible. You can work a lot if you want. You can also do the bare minimum. I've just noticed that there's no enforced standard, aside from doing literally nothing. In a lot of cases, the few people who do work a lot do end up making up for all the people who don't want to work, so it evens out in the end.

Things like venture capital, research, and urban renewal projects could produce new technologies and companies (which might help the economy). However, they wouldn't necessarily do much to address inequality.

It's the difference between making a bigger pie and distributing the pie more evenly. As I see it, the best strategy is to try to balance both approaches.
I just had a terrible experience with these at my local Walgreens. The Walgreens itself is in a very poor state, understaffed with unshelved stock sitting in shipping boxes up and down the aisles.

In the cooler aisle I was just looking for some ice cream, and I had to open 5-6 doors to find it. Not only were the displays wrong, upon opening the coolers they were mostly empty.

It was one of those times where I felt like I could be living in some sort of technological satire.
Sad no major platform implemented step two of the DMCA process as it was written in law (as far as I remember):

The subject of the DMCA takedown can appeal and then the original filer has a time period where they can escalate to a court case or drop it.
> No, private companies are spending their customer's money.

No, their customers' money went on value received, not on internal projects. However you're not entirely wrong: they're spending money that could go on salaries, lower prices, or shareholder dividends.

Thus they have three incentives not to waste, as if they do it too much a competitor will beat them.

The public sector doesn't have this incentive, as it can just lock people in a box if they don't pay it money.

Modern Databases for Finance Event

I haven't used homebridge in 2 years at least but that was one the least reliable pieces of software in my experience. I've seen people online talk about how it's rock solid for them and others talk about how it's flakey. I'm in the latter camp. After the 3rd or 4th time I had to re-add everything to the Home app after my "hub" went sideways I gave up and transferred the 1 plugin I maintained to someone else since I stopped using it. I even ran homebridge on docker as well as my a RaspberryPi but never had good luck.
Sorry for the outcome. Knowing how much parents prefer known name brands for all things babies/kids, what was your theory for the product working and gaining market share? I could imagine a completely new product being avoided similarly to a generic.
So I am trying to be sincere. The agreement you're referring to is the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty? And the title you're referring to is the original link to Bloomberg that says US runs tests after Russia "spurns treaty".

I want to understand:

* Is there a connection between the discussion about the comprehensive test ban treaty, and the linked IRBM treaty wiki article? I'm just wondering how you are connecting these different things together.

* With respect to the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty alone, what would be the truthful statement? Is the lie that America never ratified the treaty to begin with (and therefore could never actually withdraw), while Russia did ratify the treaty, and therefore was the only party that could withdraw? So the lie is that the headline creates a sense of cause and effect (Russia withdraws from the treaty, therefore America was right to respond with a partial test)?

I'd agree that the current HN headline might be misleading that way. The current Bloomberg headline "Atomic Arms Fears Grow After US Test, Russia Spurns Treaty" I feel is actually quite neutral.
For real. The real scandal here isn't that this is happening as 3G is phased out -- it's that it was always a problem whenever you drove anywhere without cell coverage.

Which is precisely when keeping a working battery is most important, since you can't call for help, being in an area without cell coverage!

This seems to ignore the fundamental reason that billionaires don't pay taxes. It's not that governments don't try to tax billionaires. It's that they're able to avoid claiming income when they make money. But following this reasoning, they would likely develop ways to avoid claiming wealth as well. Consider, for example, Warren Buffet's own example of his California properties which have a taxable value well below their realistic market value. Similar sleight of hand would likely be employed (with a few strategically positioned lobbyists having lunch with legislative committees) in order to allow billionaires to minimize their taxable wealth.

The more practical approach, as I understand it, is a tax on securitization of assets: whenever someone takes out a loan against an asset for expenses (which is common among the wealthy to avoid realizing gains), a tax is assessed on the loan value. This makes the tax harder to avoid because it is assessed closer to the actual use of money, which is a documented event. While this may affect the second mortgage and "auto loan" industry, weakening predatory finance doesn't seem like that much of a bad thing.
If there is no right for individuals to have a productive life with plenty of free time per day than a huge number of HN comments on topics such as politics, housing, social welfare systems, healthcare, transportation, etc... are obviated.

Which doesn't seem like an appealing proposition to accept.

UNC3T and Interpol Awarded for Taking Down Piracy Group EVO
Its inherent to hierarchical organizations. To get to the top of the pyramid you literally have to step on human bodies.

You need both very thick skin and little empathy for others as these are traits that will hold you back.

Managing people thus becomes managing numbers. This is what MBA programs are for. To filter out those who get distracted by their human nature. Accounting purely on the basis of money fits like a glove because it is a simple, morally agnostic metric.

Unless and until we can create productive organizational units that are far less hierarchical we are bound to be selecting and promoting these sociopathic traits.

It should be possible. Its all about finding the right designs for coordination, information exchange, less idiotic incentives etc.

There is no law that says that organizational structures that are good for conducting clan wars and the like are also the optimal way to build a sophisticated society.

Ask HN: Was any Starfighter postmortem ever published?
About seven years ago, HN veterans 'elptacek, 'patio11 and 'tptacek launched an hiring startup called Starfighter.
Their approach aimed to shift away from traditional interviews and instead employ a CTF/Microcorruption kind of test, inspired by 'tptacek experience at Matasano.
Unfortunately, Starfighter eventually wound down.

Was there ever any post-mortem written on Starfighter? If not, would 'elptacek, 'patio11 and 'tptacek be willing to provide any details?

> Also, Duffy was ripped off by Kasamba.

Can you really be ripped off by psychics? It's not like you can sue a church because your prayers haven't been answered, so I'm not sure of religion or spiritualism can be a "rip-off".

If someone tells you they'll talk to your dead ancestors for money and you don't believe them, who's to say who's speaking the truth? The best you can do is use reasoning like "there's no scientific basis for an afterlife" but that's not a great defence if you're honestly trying to speak to the dead.

I agree with your other points, of course. I'm just amused at the idea of suing psychics for not telling the truth.

Cue every 10 billion dollar company splitting into 11 supposedly unrelated 0.9 billion dollar companies (with the same shareholders, CEO and board).
I think part of the issue is also that our culture lacks a belief in Nobless Oblige. We're told from a young age that good people don't aspire to have power over others, but of course, that doesn't affect the need for the position, just the kind of people who aim to fill them. I wonder whether this relates to Thiel's observation that a disproportionate number of founder-CEOs have autism and what this might say about the messages we're putting out there about that kind of leadership.
She's quoted as saying it's not about the money, just holding Google accountable. A settlement is money in lieu of accountability. A judgement would deter them from doing it to countless others.
Like I wrote multiple times before here, I stopped having stability issues with the Raspberry Pi 2 and have had very few issues with SD cards.

I have Pis that have been running for 3+ years now (and that haven't been running longer because I upgraded them to Pi 3 or 4 boards, although they are performing the same jobs), and it's not just the OS either - I have Raspbian on the Pi 3 that runs my desktop touchscreen monitor (which controls all my lighting, and has an uptime of 167 days), and Ubuntu on my Homebridge/Zigbee gateway (which has an uptime of 61 days because I upgraded it before Summer, but has been running for nearly 2 years now).

If you need more CPU power, the RK3588 boards (as long as they have proper Armbian support) are decent bets, but at that point an Intel N100 might be more interesting since those CPUs can average below 10W on light load and will boost to better overall performance. Yes, they will be more expensive, but the going rate is 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for less than $200, so...

But if you want something that just works _forever_ at under 5W mean load, the Pi 4 is still it. And you can boot it off an USB SSD to great effect (I have a Proxmox instance running that way).
I synthesize proteins to sell on an industrial scale. When I started working here a few years ago I noticed much of the programming/prep work could be easily automated, so I did. In many cases I could at least double productivity.

None of these improvements ever resulted in getting a raise, or a faster promotion, or getting to go home earlier. All it earned me was extra time to do other people's work, or to stare at the floor and look like a lazy unproductive employee.

I never had any real expectations otherwise; I did it out of boredom. But still I feel stupid for having done it at all.

This article of this post announces that they, after a published "breakthrough" earlier this year, is closing in on mass production capability with 2028 being Toyota's suggested target.

That article shared in this comment thread announces the start of development of a new battery technology, with the author sharing their opinion on the possible delivery date - not Toyota.

But regardless of whether Toyota succeeds according to their schedule, holding your breath for 5 years or more is not recommended.
my 2¢: if external storage is not an option for some reason, dropping ext4 in favor for F2FS will do a lot of good for sparing your sdcard from early death (due to superblock updates happening every so often), if not for performance due to ext4 not being flash-aware by design.

If that's not an option AND your setup has no power issues (e.g. it has good power supply, externally powered usb hub etc), disabling journalling might also improve performance: tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sdaXXX (can't do it on mounted fs, so either do it from initram consolee, do pivot_root to minimal fs in ram, or do it from another machine)
Yes. While I'm sure sociopaths exist, there's nothing more subjective and relative than one persons opinion of someone else.

And its very easy to mislead oneself with an explanation of what is happening that pushes the problem onto the other.

People can be envious of the richest percentile when they are simply richer.

They start to look at them with hate only when according to usual metrics, a few become ever more rich while most actually see their wealth level decrease whatever the legal path they take.

This is not good for anyone, because history show that the next expectable step is blood bath, be it through mass repression or cutting heads of the perceived most privileged, a mixture of both being the most likely option.
Are you certain your idea has no loopholes (for corporarions to stay technically under a billion dollars)? :)
But what you describe is so limiting, because you're forced in the one area. What if I want to leave the area and go for a road trip? Would I be safe travelling to the rest of South Africa, if there is crime, blackouts and a lack of water?

You think the problem is just the CEO and not the corporate culture or its complacency and arrogance and now confusion now that it's no longer the darling of Wall Street/The Nikkei? It's yet another Japanese zombie corporation that's lost its way.
Excellent point. I'll take trigger warnings as long as there is a "Trigger Warning: Trigger warnings" warning. Thanks for suggesting it.
Quite an asymmetry there
Because they are trying to design software that is "easy to use" for the average person just learning to use the software. So they write software that tries to automatically catagorize things, to jump in and autocomplete small tasks it thinks the user wants. They don't seem to understand that nobody is average. We all have specific needs.

People love spending money on healthcare. They'll spend a boatload on themselves and if they can't find a reason to do that they'll spend a boatload on their pets.

I mean that sounds crazy but look at the amount of money spent on pets per year - and then look at the trend line.

First US state to allow pre-tax dollars towards pet insurance will be in 10 years. That's my prediction.

Nature is brutal and deadly. If the orcas don't eat they will starve.

It is not a case of lacking empathy, it is more a case of recognizing that those images, as gory is they might be, are simply depictions of raw nature functioning as it should. Predator eats prey, and both play a role in this cycle. I personally find it fascinating, especially as humans evolved past the need to adapt to nature, and rather manipulate nature to better suit themselves.

The solution to it all is discourage false reporting by imposing penalties.

The reason for frivolous lawsuits, DMCA takedowns, rape accusations, fake news and internet misinformation is that people feel no practical consequences for false reporting.

If you are caught with a blatantly false report you should be faced with a stiff penalty.

The penalty should be just enough so that normal people feel twice before false reporting. This should discourage 99.9% people from false reporting and then allow authorities to assign adequate resources to deal with the rest 0.1%.
