Let's say you're Pablo Picasso and you have a sketchbook from your early years. You get very successful and suddenly the public wants to see your sketchbook. You want to sell the book, but the law says you don't own the rights because you didn't sell it X years ago. So you just keep it, and the public doesn't benefit.

Alternatively, the law compels you to give it away. Little Bobby Picasso, your five-year-old, brings home some stick figures that they drew in kindergarten. In order to be compliant with the law, you now have to give that drawing to the public after X years, along with thousands of others. Presumably also the photos you took of Bobby's first day of school, the song you made up in the shower that morning, and the bedtime story you improvised that night, as they are creative works as well.

The English title is 'Quest for Fire'.

There are actually two distinct languages (a kind of Proto-Proto-Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Proto-Proto-Uralic) spoken in the movie, created by Anthony Burgess. He later wrote an essay (the title of which escapes me ATM) about the thinking behind it.

Some background:

I recently moved to West Virginia (fairly rural state) where there's only one real choice for broadband ISP at my house (Spectrum), and it supports IPv6.

AWS just started charging for IPv4 addresses in February of this year, though in practice, I think this pushed people to "hoard IPv4 less" rather than "use IPv6 more."

I know it's far more common for mobile / cellular ISPs, and I know Apple's been pretty strict about IPv6 compatibility in apps for quite some time for that reason.

Seems like a slow march in the right direction, at least from what I can tell.
This is what I ran into. Often times they were indexes with a similar cost as another, and that caused issues.

I think the main index type that bit me are the ones created by exclusion constraints. Often times it looks to the planner like "the right" index to use, but there is another (btree) that is way cheaper...the exclusion constraint is just there to ensure consistency.

In those cases to fix things, I added a WHERE clause to the index (e.g. WHERE 1=1), and the planner wouldn't consider that index unless it saw that same 1=1 condition in the queries WHERE clause.
Win9x could login to a domain-based network...

The NT4 login dialog looks like those of NT3.51 or Windows 2000 (and XP Pro if you switch do a domain-based login). See e.g. the one of Windows 2000 (on a machine visible not jointed to a domain) here: https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/uyau0h/is_it_som.... And AFAIK there's no way to bypass NT login dialog.
Neat. Linux port incoming!

Thank you for this, kevin42. So many great games around the 2000s. If Tim Sweeney could open UE1, a lot of games could benefit from it like Quake being open sourced did.
Section 105 explains explicitly that it's not a warranty:

>For example, the statutory right may not be breached and so a consumer would not be able to obtain a remedy if, say, a very cheap kettle stopped working fully after four years, as a reasonable person might not expect a bottom of the range kettle to last that long.
I don't know what you are talking about. The text is very clear on this.

30.61 Establishment of civilian oversight boards.
(1) A county sheriff may establish a civilian oversight
board to review the policies and procedures of his or her office
and its subdivisions.
(2) The board must be composed of at least three and up to
seven members appointed by the sheriff, one of which shall be a
retired law enforcement officer.

They can appoint everyone on it. This is something setup by the sheriff, and the sheriff controls the appointments. They don't have ot appoint all the people, but they can. Which means the original comment still stands.

> Having a retired cop in the room who understands police work sounds pretty sensible to me.

That doesn't mean they have to be on the board. You can easily bring cops in when needed.

I use: https://pypi.org/project/imgcat/

The VS Code terminal supports both the sixel and iterm image format so you get the actual image.

Most of the time I'm using it with my personal CLI graph template language:

cat some.csv | plt '[x, y], z { bar 10px [solid red, solid green] }' | imgc

So then I see the graph in the console and then I'm ready to save it if I'm happy with the output.

This is extremely simplifying the nuance, but imagine there are two traders who want to buy what a single trader is willing to sell at a given price? Well, the first one to get to the exchange and "lift the offer" will get the price, while the second trader will have to pay a higher price.
We’re not talking about a cheap kettle however, are we?

The object-oriented API and its documentation have improved markedly over the years, I encourage you to give it a try. Most of the official documentation examples use it now. Yes, there are lots of examples out there using the pyplot interface still, but there is enough information on the OO API now that you can get by.

Personally I think pyplot is still a perfectly fine interface for just banging out quick data visualization without too much effort, but I find myself very quickly switching to the OO interface as soon as I want a little bit of control over what's going on.

There are still some lingering issues, like the interface discrepancy between scatter and other plotting methods, and the difficulty of making a nicely-formatted color bar. But it's really coming a long way since I started using it in ~2015, And in that time I've actually come to prefer it over both base R and ggplot2, which is what I started with originally.

I have much stronger complaints about Seaborn and he will never find me recommending it to anyone.

> I seriously don't get this antivax nonsense.

Maybe you have been conditioned to react with extreme suspicion when somebody even dares to mention the word "vaccine", so you don't even read what people write and start imagining what they "must be meaning"? We live in an age of paranoia and hostility, even after the pandemic.

I'm incredibly happy that the people saying that the vaccines were dangerous were wrong. It's a shame they didn't protect people better, but in the end the pandemic ended just as expected, ie a super-contagious and much less lethal strain infected everybody. This is how the black plague probably ended, reading accounts from the time. Even if they didn't know anything about viruses then.
High-frequency trading is essentially a low-margin, high-volume play that exploits small price differences for profit. The most obvious example would be arbitraging the same security on different exchanges (buying low on one and selling pennies higher on another). Similarly, algorithmic models could exploit price volatility for individual securities on the same exchange. Under such conditions, fractions of a second can determine whether a given trade is a winning or losing one.

I've been around a lot of people who say that sort of thing and it's why in my neck of the woods we note that "I never get distracted, I'm never tired, I always work perfectly" is the mantra of a woodworker who has eight fingers. (He didn't learn the first time.)

Time is money, but you can't get a finger back. And neither can your employees who work for you, who the EU regulations are, rightly, more concerned with than your bottom line.
You can certainly alleviate the disadvantage of being slower though - and that’s exactly what literature in batch trading argues.

i'm an executive for a large medical device commercialization consultancy. we do it all from pure r&d, development/engineering, software/firmware (including SaMD), quality/regulatory, commercial strategy, preclinical, precision medicine, manufacturing, etc.

what i see most often from "digital health startups" is 1) a severe lack of knowledge of the device development process (generally due to immaturity) 2) under appreciation of the importance of a true regulatory strategy 3) poor product generational planning (boil the ocean).

this generally results in startups not understanding why development costs are what they are.

I find the EV only range of those PHEV abysmal, at 60km in the summer with this Mercedes PHEV we have (and 30km in the winter), it hardly covers commute. If they at least remade the balance to have at least 100km in winter for range, that the % of EV only driving would skyrocket.

Orders should have some durability and it would probably change behaviors enough to make hft go away.

If you list a buy or sell order it just has to be in force for some period of time, say a minute or something.

HFT shops will say this would reduce liquidity, but it would only make clear what real liquidity was in the first place.

That’s the way I started but eventually used two FlightSticks. Banking movement with one hand (forward, backward, sideways), rotating around two axis with the other (barrel roll, pitch), and the thumb sticks I used for up/down and left/right. Although I might misremember some details. There was a time when I really wanted to add a pair of pedals, too. Ah, to have that much time to spare again.
At my school, you would get different levels of permissions depending on when you unplugged the cable and plugged it back in. Unplug it too early, and you get kicked out of the session. Too late and all the restrictions get applied. In the middle were two sweet spots, one that disabled the Internet filter and another that allowed running arbitrary applications instead of just the ones from the whitelist.

Once the other students found out about this, there were many damaged Ethernet ports as they yanked the cables out of the ports violently. The school administrators eventually fixed the Internet filter vulnerability but the application one remained because not many people cared about it.

How would any cloud offering deal with something like, say, the full options data feed, which is close to 40 Gb/s of binary packed goodies? You need both a very fat pipe and ultra-low latency: does the cloud, any cloud, offer that?

Also: how often have you guys seen the stock market being down? What's the "x nines" availability of, say, the US stock market and US options feed?

Now: do we wanna talk about the various cloud outages that made the news? Sometimes lasting hours?

Also what I've seen with the cloud is websites are now displaying spinners everywhere, for the myriad of not-low-latency-at-all microservices often taking seconds to respond. And that'd be on an ultra low latency fiber to the home setup, with 2 Gb/s down (and the ISP really supporting that).

Why the heck do I have to wait seconds for oh-so-many things to display in my browser, on a last gen Ryzen ultra-speedy machine, with a super fat and low-latency Internet pipe? The worst offenders being all those banking websites showing a balance of 0 instead of "-" or "n/a" while fetching my info: nearly gives me heart attack every single time.

I take it it has to do with micro-services all contacting shitloads of other micro-services, all living in the not-low-latency cloud. The problem being compounded by an army, a generation, of programmers who have never learned anything about optimization or latency and who solve every problem they have with the only hammer they have: the cloud. All these programmers know are JSON (or, worse, XML)...

I mean: JSON vs 40 Gbit/s of interrupted bit-packed binary feeds? How could these two world ever reconcile?

Now I don't do HFT but I do trade options and I do it through a desktop app and that app also offers an API through which I can fetch prices, send orders, etc. It's a good old Java app. And it's more advanced than any website I've ever used.

Can we please not enshittify everything with countless micro-services and JSON files in the cloud?

Apocalyptic Cults and the Early-Modern Information Explosion
You are right on the point. Also note that antisemitism was the ideological way to unify the image of a nebulous jewish german finance class with bolshevism, painting them as both sides of the same jewish conspiracy coin. This way the hatred to the capitalist class was diverted to hatred against bolshevism. Antisemitism was what made that ideological manoeuvre possible.
>Sheikh Tahnoon just took Microsoft for a ride.

Did they? What if that "investment" is sort of a masked bribe in order to secure exclusivity of juicy government contracts worth a lot more than 1.5B?

Microsoft also "invested" in opening an office in Munich just so Bavaria would cancel the move to Open Office which was also a bribe in disguise.

I think sometimes HN is too naive when it comes to such big deals between mega corps and shady governments, missing the forest from the trees.

"Investments" like these are often there just to grease the wheels or act as a cover for more nefarious projects. Especially that the UAE is getting involved more and more in tech defense procurement and shady offensive cybersecurity without giving a damn about human rights.

> This assumes sane body camera policies are in place, like immediate dismissal if the camera/mic is turned off/covered, during any part up to or during an arrest.

I think every single copy would be fired because of this. I've yet to see any body cam footage during an arrest where the camera wasn't covered up at some point. And since you are the one proposing clarity and specifics here, you've just demonstrated by having these specifics in place don't always help.

After all, can you, with 100% accuracy, measure with just your eyes 25.1 feet? What's the cop going to do? Break out the measuring tape? Where do they measure from? Also, how do they prove the intent part. After all, that's subjective. If I'm recording but my intent is not to do anything that is listed in the law, it doesn't apply to me.

So, lots of lack of clarity in between lots of bad specifics.
How far back do you think human cultural memory extends? The earliest writings would be preserving stories known at the time, but how far back did those stories go in prehuman history? I'm guessing most of prehistory was forgotten even before you get to neanderthals.
