> What is the problem?

> There are two main problems with digital piracy. First, it robs the creator of their income. It’s not just big companies who suffer – the people working behind the scenes lose out too.

How risible! Over the decades we have come to learn that those who pirate are those who are willing to expend their time and use their technical competence to consume media that they otherwise wouldn't pay for or cannot afford to begin with. Like younger folk. And the economically disadvantaged (George Carlin vocetto). A small % of the media corps' "attention base."

It's just a rhetorical talking point in the service of effecting leverage for the incumbents, but does the average Joe know that? And what would change if they did?

Now I'm falling into cynicism, albeit well founded ... Oh, let's go devil's advocate:

And what of the societal consequences of the copyrighting of what is effectively a very large number (encoded media file IP). As though ideas can be owned.
Surely challenging means that you show that you are listening to the client and shows you understand.

How does a client tell the difference between what you do and a salesman overpromises both of these salesmen listened and said that they could do it. Many people have experience of the bad salesperson and so will assume that they are all like that.

I ended up declining general anesthesia at the last moment when the doctor offered a consent doc to using my data in the training set for ML detection, leading to a quick discussion of being in the computing field, and he offered that I could stay awake and watch the video feed instead. Hell yes, I’d prefer that!

So, I got some kind of pain relief or relaxant but no anesthesia and it was really interesting and enjoyable to watch the procedure.

The prep was only slightly inconvenient and the overall process didn’t come anywhere near to how people talk about or build it up.
Sounds like you are working on deep complex systems - i totally get the experience of needing a couple of hours to stare at how the system behaves before the lightbulb moment when you realise how a simple change will achieve what you want (ideally!).

There are other times when it's a bit more greenfield and just fiddling around gets your ideas straight and you can be productive even with interruptions.

We tend to work with a backlog of simpler and harder problems, and part of the skill of prioritisation is deciding what mood you are in, and being realistic about how much time you have to focus on a problem, and hence what sort of problem or feature is worth tackling that day.

If you’re suggesting that this guy is suffering from some kind of psychological, psychiatric, or neurological condition, then wouldn’t it still be the case that no one is floating around a room? That is, the problem would be with the observer, not the observed.
It is sad that such a gender discriminatory law is passed.

I wonder how much good it did? You do see lots of places for sale in the countryside with XXX of land with a ruin of YYY, and it sounds like people have been using those to build summer houses, but the city centre feels like where it with be needed most. And there are still prominent ruins in central Lisbon, right by Marques de Pombal for example.

No phishing warnings for me. Not sure if YC would be happy with it though :^)
My WF1000XM4 had a bug where this occurred.

Most of that complexity isn't needed, though.

Getting 5V out of USB-C is pretty trivial, all the way up to 3A. The vast majority of hobbyist projects run on 5V, and very few of them need more than 15W.

Most of the rest seems to be over-engineering. You can get a ready-made "PD Trigger" board for literally $1 [0], which will allow you to select the desired voltage using jumpers. It even has support for the non-standard (although still common) 12V profile. Or, if you really want to do it using software, grab a $6 one from Adafruit [1] which comes with a tutorial and Arduino library.

If you really want to yak-shave, grab an FUSB302B. They are quite affordable, widely available, and provide easy access to protocol-level PD comms. It's only really needed once you want to implement something like Alternate Modes, though.

Code signing wouldn't necessarily fix that. There are a lot of "legitimate" applications that a user wouldn't want. For example, spyware is fine if there's some plausible deniability to it because many applications do some form of spying nowadays.
I mean, I’ve quit an interview process several times - usually because they were dragging it out, or because the interview process hinted to me I’d not enjoy working there.

Interviews are bidirectional information exchanges - the company is also pitching itself to the candidate during the process.
I'd love to see a breakdown of what aspects of piracy are increasing. TV shows, movies, video games, music. Are all of these being pirated more now than previously, or just some? Because the business models for them are very different.
I suspect you’re about to be contacted for trademark infringement.
It's comforting to know we will be alive in 2914.
They were so rare every second car in Poland was a Polski Fiat when the war fell. The other big brands in Poland were Polonez, Serena, some Wartburgs, the occasional Zil and lots of Skoda's as well. Some so old that they'd have been in a museum on the other side of the wall but doing daily service in the East.

I have no idea how that can be a thing. I can understand mixing up Slovakia and Slovenia - their flags are quite similar and endonym in Slovak for that country is Slovensko, Slovenská republika. IMO it's as weird as this Sweden-Switzerland
The numbers don't seem large at all compared to how many animals we slaughter per year for meat. Just like the buffalo hide, we don't need that meat to survive, it's a luxury.

> It hard to imagine anything much more invasive than having a metal tube (with light and camera) shoved up your arse.

Well, how about an operation where sharp tools are used to slice open parts of your body that are otherwise entirely sealed, by design? To my mind, that's at least an order of magnitude more unpleasant and invasive.

> It's not that bad.

Totally agree. At commented elsewhere here, the prep process isn't that bad, and is still much worse than the procedure itself.
The 'Superb' is actually an in-house Skoda development (still on VW 'bodengruppe') and a more than decent car.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve actually done this as well with impressive results. I started to become wary of hallucinations about more obscure topics, but I agree it’s very valuable.

You’re right though I’m looking for something more. I guess I’m looking for a macro-theological “church” and I’m not sure if that exists.

The modern Dacia brand, however, are complex, modern cars. The socialist-era Dacia was a locally made copy of the Renault 12, a 1960s-era vehicle with a simple design.

> Third-Party Research: We share the bird detections and audio as well as labeled data with the Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology, so that they may use such data for scientific research and to help improve the accuracy of the bird sound detection.

You can set the audio recordings to be inaccessible for other Bird Weather users. Ie. by default audio is shared on the website, but you can turn that off. Independently, they also share the data with Cornell.

I'm adding USB to projects just as a power cable but I'm (still) trying to avoid surface-mount.

The only USB connector I've found that is still through-hole is USB Mini-B so I am unfortunately stuck with that.

(I should mention I am building kits for hobbyists who are averse to tackling an SMD component — they make me nervous as well.)
All those who served or fought before are idiots? Nothing ever worth defending?
> it robs the creator of their income.

Yawn... sounds like 1999, when the piracy was supposed to kill the music industry. It survived, and thrived just fine. So tired of seeing this bullshit.
I'm not quite sure I'd go as far as calling React minimal, but yeah, there are definitely fairly light options here. Mithril is pretty classic as a "bare minimum framework" option. Vue can be used without any bundling/compilation steps as well, although I think that's less supported these days. I also quite like SolidJS - again, they encourage you to use the compiler, but you can also just use it with template literal strings and it should work just fine.
A lot of times you will not do the fire in 3D, but you just in compositing by adding fire from one of your thousand movie libraries. The problem of course is that you can do that and it might even look good if you match the angle, but you will have a hard time lighting the scene probably, and faking all reflections in.

As someone who worked as a camera person I want to emphasize another aspect: Shooting the real thing (fire) is itself not without its challenges. You really need to match light levels well or else you won't even notice fire in the picture. Fire doesn't always burn in visually pleasing ways, and especially outside wind can make or break how it will look.
That's where the "mandatory" in the mandatory military service comes in (btw, I agree with your sentiment that it is stupid, the point is that you can't just not do it, you will be forced to).
2. Who are "they" shooting rockets at you? The children you're killing? The civilians in a hospital getting treatment form previous bombings?

I stand by my statement. You're defending war crimes and terrorism. It's what it is, no matter how justified you believe it is to kill these innocent people.

Look up statutory rape, duress... If you want some actual cases, search at relevant forums. I am really not going to give legal advice here.
When you are applying to enter a teaching program, you need to have been in the top 1/3 of the class you were just in. As I understand it, that's just a basic requirement and doesn't by itself guarantee admission. I haven't heard anything about attrition rates in teaching programs.

Something else to know about Korean universities is that admission to departments is competitive, and once students are accepted by a university, they will change departments before trying to change schools. I knew a girl who wanted to study biochemistry, but didn't make the cut in that department, so she went with an opening in silicon engineering, and now works at Samsung designing chips. I hear stories like that very frequently.

What trademark exactly? just curious...

what prevents me (legally) to purchase a domain, make it orange, and manually aggregate news in it?

Assuming the content is not scraped, and no icons / logos are copied, can there be legal actions followed and if so on what basis?
It was a deliberate act of genocide not just for profit. Read Empire of the Summer Moon to learn about why the Middle of North America was largely unsettled by Europeans for 350 years.
Yep, this is the primary reason I've considered it again.

So I have Prime (which is kinda/sorta effectively free to me because I pay for it for the delivery service), Netflix, Disney (I like Star Wars and Marvel), we sometimes subscribe to Apple. Then over here in Aus there's also Stan and Binge, who have some of the tv content we want.

This is already a far cry from what Netflix used to be - the place to go to for most stuff. It's also a far cry from the music situation, where I can pick my streaming service (I use Deezer) and more or less have the same catalogue available whichever one I pick. (I know, none of them pay artists very well, I also buy CDs and t-shirts.)

And now on top of this, the various studios are trying to get me to subscribe to their offerings, either as standalones or as add-ons to Prime - AMC, Paramount etc, so I can get their one flagship show on there. How about no?

This is getting more expensive than the old cable and satellite packages that streaming was supposed to replace, and they're putting prices up at the moment.

And that's before we get into stuff that's not available on any service legally here. That show you like? Yeah we're only going to give you access to the first few seasons, even though there have been five more seasons made.

Why won't you let me pay?

So yeah, piracy is quite appealing, especially when I can go to yandex.com, type "Stream <movie>" or "Stream <show>" and I'll be taken to a site where I can watch it immediately. Maybe it's not always the best quality stream, but the pirate bay still seems to be up too.
I have not used any dating app in the past decade. OKC was last platform, while in graduate school. I LOVED the "percent match" but across multiple profiles (over a few years) I learned how "to game" their system by only answering certain impactful (but not damaging) questions.

If you have not read Christian Rudder's "DATACLISM" book (he is a co-founder of Match group, writing on their data analytics blog), it is FULL of "human condition", via charts/diagrams/analysis.

My past two relationships have been via dating neighbors, which I do not actually recommend (as more successful).
If that's grindr for finbros, perhaps it could work. If you think straight women are going to join, read up on demographics in the financial sector. Doomed. Perhaps the stupidest thing I've seen in a long life of dating and matchmaking.

Also, what? You think people making bets on your love life is less soul crushing than an app without that?
Solidstart had this at least a year ago
I"m not comfortable even with the question.

One way to look at it is as a stock versus a flow. How many people are you willing to kill today to prevent Hamas from killing X people a year? What's your time horizon?

But another way to look at it is: Families of civilians killed have some motivation to become Hamas fighters. How many Hamas fighters are you willing to create in order to kill some Hamas fighters?

It's a horrible situation. Until Hamas and Israel are willing to forgive each other for past killings, the killings will continue, on both sides.
Yeah of course. This is always a balance. But my observation was that IT people in general tend to lean towards not explaining enough, rather than overexplaining things.
> If Amazon warehouse workers'd follow such advice, much fewer packages would get shipped.

How so? Amazon is known for tracking performance very strictly. They will find the sweet spot for performance in case they see an opportunity.
C++ still has the preprocessor and all the horribleness that brings. It's also still a language where you need to know a lot of underlying details about how things work because you want to not be slow and you want to know whether or not you've just allocated memory that you have to manage. You need to know about integer sizes, how characters and integers are similar, pointers and dereferencing.

You can still leak memory easily and use after free, segfault and so on.

So IMO there's a cognitive load where you cannot ignore how things are happening as you might in a dynamic language. Stuff can be static or inline or stack based or heap based and all of it matters. C was bad enough but C++ just piled on more and I got tired of that really. Boost took a million years (subjectively) to turn into something decent and I remember not being able to use any of it because of being stuck on an old compiler on Windows.

I do hope we've moved on from having to build a lot of optimisation in by hand towards being able to describe a problem with it's constraints and limits and have the optimisation done for us.
In Swedish Military we have this term about "Fiende Röd från Öst" (Enemy Red from the East). Definitely not about Russia.
Feels like Android keeps making it worse, at least for older apps that have not been updated to whatever the most recent way to access files is. I have several old apps installed that I can't figure out any way to access files for anymore. Interop between termux shell and apps is also trickier than it used to be. And small things like trying to launch a text editor from Dosbox Turbo to edit autoexec.bat that used to work fine but now just results in some error.

I don't want anything like that on desktop. Some way of wrapping applications under my control (not some app stores control) and easily edit a simple text-file to give it permissions would be nice, but nothing beyond that.
I reacted to claim that people who opposed state farms were "imbeciles behind the time". That is an actual communist propaganda point person I responded to promoted. If they can say that, I should be allowed to respond.

How come calling victims "imbeciles" is ok while my response is not?

Also, creation of state farms happened through actual violence. Property was taken away from people and owners were put to jails or forcibly moved. I do not call it stealing as insult, I call it stealing because that is what it was.
Writing novel tech is an endurance sport.

Most new technologies that blossom out to startups should be done in a university-like environment. I mean having knowledge on hand, similar staff members to mull ideas over, stable income and away from 'wfh'.

Doing all that from random locations, with the added stress of market-fit, marketing, taxes, ect is a headache.

Simply navigating the minefield of public tech and business knowledge without stupifying yourself and falling for inauthentic lies, is a danger.

It's going well though, wanted to point out those dangers for those playing along.

There was a post on HN once by a former OkCupid person who, as I read it, took a more nuanced view along the lines of: the market moved to cellphones and that kind of long form entry (or reading) isn't viable on a few-inch screen with point and grunt input.

Beyond an insider sharing the view, I find it compelling because it didn't require anyone to have been an idiot. I've certainly seen other effects that look like the widespread usage of cellphones dumbing down the internet in disappointing ways. ... and it explains why someone doesn't just recreate the magic that OkCupid had: they can't. For classic-OkCupid to exist the public needs widespread access to a communications tool suitable for sending things more nuanced than dick pics.

There's an interesting point made in a podcast (Huberman, perhaps) - which is that Colon Cancer could be totally eliminated as a cause of death, if we used screening via colonoscopy optimally.

As in, play a thought experiment:

* First, imagine everyone in the world gets a colonoscopy every day --> obviously, all cancers would be picked up, but this is infeasible for some reasons (e.g. cost, economic impact) and suboptimal for others (e.g. iatrogenic harm, human cost).

* So, using data, apply colonoscopies more sparingly, based on risk factors such as age, genetics, family history --> if this is done right you'd be able to pick up every colon cancer in its very early stages, either at a pre-cancerous stage, or an entirely curable stage.
EUIPO concluded that there is an inverse correlation between the consumption of legal and pirated content. During the COVID-19 pandemic, legal content consumption increased and pirated content consumption decreased. This suggests that people who feel that the price is too high for a service they do not use for a long time are consuming TV shows and other content through illegal streaming or torrents.
I find today's C++ extremely challenging to pick up speed for someone coming from let's say, Java. Smart pointers, pointer/references, rvalue reference, copy/move semantics, (perfect) forwarding, constructors, and how all that interacts with templates. It's just so unwieldy complex. It takes me hours to write something that would take less than a minute in Java even though I have experience with plain C. The worst thing is that after it finally compiles I feel I can't be sure if I've followed all the rules and best practices correctly or if it's going to blow up spectacularly and potentially unsafely at runtime. The fact that a book like "Effective Modern C++" is needed with all those traps and foot guns to be aware of is ludicrous.

And don't get me wrong - I think C++ is the most powerful language out there on the right hands - it just feels to require a lifetime of learning to became productive on it.
