Ha, sounds like it was indeed spin.

Interesting what sticks, because I've read it twice recently, once even in a fairly left-leaning setting.
Feel free to trudge through any of the dozens of threads and literal thousand-plus comment discussions on HN about the matter, or any of the articles written online, some by people who have known RMS for years. I'm not relitigating any of it here, as I know full well how utterly futile it would be to even attempt.
This is how I avoid hotel cancellation fees. Simply call and ask the reservation to be moved forward outside of the cancellation penalty window, and then cancel.
Can you please share the code? On my tests late last year it was basically Zig, C++, Rust.

Sorry I don’t have the code anymore.

A hobby project of mine that was surprisingly easy to put together! I love waking up and seeing the freshly generated image.
Terms of service are full of terms that aren't legal in many jurisdiction, they're written brodadly and assuming that any ambiguity is in favor of the company so that they have the best possible position to argue from if anything has to be decided in court or arbitration.
Precisely zero sites have a legal obligation to post a cookie notice under the GDPR/ePrivacy directive if all they do is use cookies for technically necessary purposes. If they want to track people on the other hand, that's a different story. Adobe should do a MUCH better job at clarifying their legalese and explaining what they can and cannot use data for. A blog post is not a legally binding agreement.

Also, if they want people to trust them with stuff under NDA, they should give people a simple switch that makes sure no Adobe employee or contractor gets to see sensitive documents or files. Or, as a matter of fact, a switch that lets people turn off online features completely. Adobe is not taking their customer's legal responsibilities seriously and this will lead to people needing to cancel subscriptions. (One example, not even NDA-related: transfering PII outside the EU under the GDPR needs special care.)

The icing on the cake is that when I tried a few weeks ago, you couldn't even log in to cancel your service without accepting the new terms.

They didn't put a fraction of the effort into Steam Machines that they have put in the Linux ecosystem since then.
From what I read somewhere it's because the cheaper plan where you pay by the month is actually an annual plan where you pay in installments. So technically speaking you're not paying a monthly subscription, you're paying off a debt that you took on when you got the annual subscription.

"There's investors to be fleeced!"

I don't think the "AI generation" missed the lesson, tho.
Right out of the gate the phrasing “pushed a routine re-acceptance of those terms” reads with a hint of user contempt, like “just click Accept damnit, it’s normal that there are updates, you’re not supposed to read them”.

Ultimately what I’m getting from the terms directly and their response is that they want to be able to review things that go through their cloud, including with humans manually looking at it, but have given themselves a broader general license to review anything you open or create with their software, with a “trust us” message on the side saying it’s just for specific purposes. Additionally since all software these days seems to want you to save everything to the cloud, you’re likely to be prompted many times to save files there, where they may be subject to manual review even under the “trust us” purposes.
I have a Lemur and it's the best laptop I've had- great battery life, everything feels snappy and I haven't had a single issue. Bought it during lockdown as well though, so not much of an argument for their hardware improving.

I wonder how long until Twitch also gets forced to some rather arbitrary rules set by the record companies, like how you can't do "best of Daft Punk" on Mixcloud (too many songs by one artist).

Jokes aside, kudos to you for coming up with what's been the only available legal option for the past decade or so! Judging by this, your platform will still have some advantages:

> No Vods, Clips, or Highlights

> DJs opted into the program will not be able to save VODs, Clips, or Highlights to Twitch. VODs, Clips and Highlights involve different rights than live streams. We are creating additional promotional and discovery opportunities to extend the reach and impact of DJ content.
You never should have been disclosing to Adobe anyway, even if they did pinkie promise not to look at it.
There's no "consumer" who "buys" research into whether protons decay. That's basic research that will only occur if funded by national agencies that are not motivated by return on investment.

As for commercial research, similar problems of fraud exist as in academic research. Instead of prestige, the motivations are things like bonuses and promotions.

Academics actually care a great deal about fraud, funding agencies hate fraud and punish it, journals hate fraud - everyone dislikes it. Competing labs have every incentive to catch fraud conducted by their rivals. The idea that academia is rife with fraud and that nobody cares is just not true.

There will always be a certain level of fraud not just in research, but in every economic sector, every intellectual pursuit, and every sport, commercial or not. There's no system that will perfectly eliminate it, but because of its empiricism and openness, science is fairly good at correcting itself over time.

> Turing went to police to file a report and casually (perhaps ignorantly or haughtily) admitted to breaking a law.

Yes I agree, but (and I'm honestly asking because I don't know) was it one of those laws that nobody really took seriously or that was still on the books even though it was never enforced? Or was it a crime that was enforced at the time?

Edit: Unrelated to above, but from parent comment, I hadn't heard of "pink washing" before so just dropping a link for others who might not have heard of it either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkwashing_(LGBT)
> A heterosexual ... would not have received the same punishment, but likely would not have been spared jail time.

I don't know if we can make the assumption that it was his being gay that spared him the jail time, or if other considerations were at play; and if another man benefiting from the same considerations but with different preferences would have been treated (edit: clarifying) more leniently, i.e. no chemical castration, as you say. And together with the following:

> But don't we still chemically castrate certain sex offenders?

This goes back to the view back then of homosexuality as sexual (and criminal?) deviance. I feel like we're pretty much back at the point of his sexuality being the reason for the chemical castration.

The same is true in the US. The catch, of course, is that you’d have to sue if they don’t let you out, and most people don’t have the time, will, or means to do that.

Considering that Japan and Korea do just fine is proof that youre arguing with a straw man. Same with European nations that didn't just invite everyone and their grandma to immigrate such as Switzerland.

The technological advances / robots will outpace the need for immigration, and has for the last decades too.

Its just profitable for the capital as immigrants are a source of cheap labor which can be used to surpress wages.

I wish everyone else would use this product as to eliminate themselves from interviews while I just talk.

Years back I even realized that I was far over-preparing for interviews because I like to be prepared. So I had a canned response to basically every question that was going to be asked. Not surprisingly, I didn't get any of those jobs.

Who would have guessed that hiring managers aren't looking to hire robots with zero personality and that an interview is not a trivia game show that the hiring manager is just adding up points from "correct" answers to see who wins and nothing else.

Genuine question here: isn’t it a standard security practice to avoid committing keys (or other secrets) to repos?

Edit: and what’s the best practice here? Is it using a key management system of some sort? (I’m thinking of scenarios where you might need to deploy your code + secrets on a remote server, say to authenticate with a third party API)

I thought so at first too, but it’s just a confusing UI. The documentation says:

What isn’t said is that this dragging also allows you to keep some of the items permanently showing. Anything you drag to the right of that double arrow icon will stay there.

Money is a key part of the formation of societies and history shows that many independent civilisations came up with money time and time again.

Gold is a great form of money thanks to its unique chemistry:

Its colour and lustre is unique - it's fairly easy to tell something is gold-ish by eye and weight. This is why gold was chosen by our low-tech forebears.

Its lower melting temp makes it easier to purify than say Platinum or even Aluminium.

Its inertness (thanks in part to the relativistic contraction of the 6s orbitals) mean that you can leave it in a safe for 1000 years and it'll basically be the same. You literally need conc HNO3 and H2SO4 aka aqua Regis to dissolve it.

People who think gold is a pet rock and is useless fail to appreciate that even if all stores of value are pointless and arbitrary, we still gravitate around particular stores for a reason.

I'd be fairly happy to hang onto some gold in a post Apocalyptic world if it looks like society may eventually recover.

Even stuff like coffee and oil would be useless in any size because they have a shelf life. And cash at scale can literally rot or get eaten by mice. Gold can be buried and it'll be there forever basically

I don't think the market for ecologists in the private sector is super hot right now.

But even then, I know plenty of researchers who would rather earn half their salary than dealing with the private sector's BS: bad science practices, endless meetings, "Powerpoint or it didn't happen", zero freedom to experiment, having to constantly "dumb it down" to your manager's manager, draconian publication guidelines, "are you sure we can't patent it?", and the list goes on.

Research is only a hobby if you don't care about the impact and quality of your work. I'm sure the scientists who drafted the 1982 Exxon Internal Report on Global Temperatures [1] got paid very well for their report to be buried for 30+ years, but I would rather take a lower salary and make sure the fruits of my work actually get out there.

I love anything that says we need to build better software.

That said, just how crappy are people’s MVPs these days?

The point of an MVP is to make something tiny and less polished, but functional, not actually broken.

This doesn’t make any sense. An LLM is software.

It is. And someone will certainly make it happen. But most people don’t even know where their local small claims courts are, much less how to make a case, and lawyers cost money, and that is where most people end the conversation.

Yes, you can represent yourself and win, but it’s a lot of time, effort, and money (because time is money).

Someone will do this, and it will be great precedent. But most people will simply accept it because they don’t have the time or means.

Sure, but I suspect you could find similar complaints from a lot of academics (UK "REF", for example). The UK situation is pretty dire at the moment and is unlikely to improve without the shock of a respected university simply becoming insolvent.

It seems that the business world has traversed four distinct eras, even though various companies appear to be in different stages of each:

The Era of Volume Sales: Customer was just a number, and the primary goal was to maximize profits. Sears and so on...

Required Relationships but Poor Service: Businesses recognized the need for customer relationships but failed to deliver effective customer service. Like in
monopolistic AT&T, where customer service was notoriously bad...

Stellar Customer Service At Least As An Idea: Businesses began focusing on exceeding customer expectations with exceptional service. Early Amazon, Zappos and so on

New Era of Customer Exploitation: Companies move to a stage where they exploit their customers by overstepping privacy provisions or signed agreements, driven by the desire to maximize ad revenue or leverage data for AI. Facebook...Adobe...examples so many there is even no need to add more...
Colleges focus on teaching things that require study to learn, things that you won’t really understand without intentionally analyzing them. Algorithms and data structures are great examples. An individual is never going to invent A* on the spot without an education, for example.

Learning how to use the tools of the trade, e.g. OS, IDE, version control, etc, is not something you need to spend $50k/yr to have a Ph. D. Teach you, it’s something you pick up on your own.

A lot of younger adults these days seem to think that college entitles you to a well-paying job, possibly due to the messaging from previous generation(s), but that is not (and never has been) the case.

Lucas wanted other people to direct the films, in his defense, nobody took him up on it. He had some inkling that maybe he shouldn't be directing the films, but he couldn't find a way to convince someone to take them on...

I suspect it was a combination of being intimidated by what was being proposed (prequels to some of the most beloved films of all time) and Lucas retaining creative control to a level other people felt like they couldn't really do it? Not sure. I'm sure when Lucas passes away we will learn a LOT more about the entire thing.

Too optimistic.

I contracted for a company for a few months where I worked on GDPR.

They are very conscious of what they're doing.

They were compelled to work on GDPR issues, not microtransactions.

I think this is true, but it hinges on a very specific definition of 'quality'. An MVP only needs to demonstrate that it solves the problem it aims to solve - everything else can be awful and people will still buy in if they see the value the software gives them. People need to see 'quality' in the solution to the problem, not necessarily in things like UX, UI, perf, code quality etc.
