I'm no "submarine warfare expert" but I believe the purpose/value of nuclear submarines is not defense of close coastal waters, but rather as a deterrence that can come "from anywhere". I don't believe shallow waters would hamper the operation of a submarine launching ICBMs or similar. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I also know nothing of Australian politics but Paul Keating seems to have some curious views regarding China:

> Keating brushed aside human rights concerns about China by arguing there are “disputes about what the nature of the Chinese affront to the Uyghurs”

> Keating is a noted dove towards China. He has previously labelled Taiwan “not a vital Australian interest” but rather a “civil matter” for China.

> On Wednesday Keating said China “is not the Soviet Union” because it is involved in international institutions and would “fall over themselves to have a proper relationship” with Australia, except that Australia has “manufactured a problem” through its increasing alignment with US.

> Keating said the “great sin” China had committed in the eyes of the west was developing its economy to equal the size of the US

Yikes.

I compared the chord sheets for the classic song 'Perfect' with Ultimate-Guitar.

E.g.
https://lamucal.com/chords/ed-sheeran/perfect-1326720

https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/ed-sheeran/perfect-chor...

The generated chord sheets closely match the highly-rated ones on Ultimate-Guitar. This suggests that the generated chords work well for genres like pop and country music. I will continue trying out other music sheets to see how consistent the quality of the generated content is.
The return to office / hybrid mandates are all about control. For me, I get more done at home than I do in the office. On days I work from home, I’m more likely to sign on early and sign off later because I’m not commuting; when I’m in the office, it’s a hard cut-off at 5pm to catch the train home. Also, when I’m at home, I don’t have incessant coworker chatter going on around me to distract or irritate me. Working from home is a benefit to my employer, and they are just too blind to see that.
SHA-1 has been broken since 2017. It is considerably more expensive to produce a SHA-1 collision than an MD5 collision, but certainly not impossible. However, BitTorrent v2 also came out in 2017 and uses SHA-256, for which no known collisions exist even today.
As a former megavideo user… i watched many American tv shows I wouldn’t have watched otherwise. And i wouldn’t have paid anyway because at the time as a teenager i had no money of my own to spend.

Nowadays even when paying for content, it really feels like extortion, it’s unfair anyway (prices constantly increasing, and you still get ads even if you’re paying… might as well go back to pirating stuff)
This hasn't been my experience. After another VC-backed software switched licenses, we continued using an older, open source version licensed Apache 2. But that didn't stop their lawyers from trying to shake us down, claiming we were using the latest, enterprise version. We just showed up in their telemetry as using their product and they came a knockin. I imagine that their telemetry failed to distinguish who was running old FOSS from the latest proprietary one.

We showed our lawyers that we were using the FOSS version. But, they didn't care and demanded we remove their product (despite being FOSS) immediately on all our systems.

That was a crazy crazy week.

You can say that's a problem with our lawyers. But still, who wants to go to court even if you know that you'll win eventually? It's expensive and incredibly annoying as an engineer to have to deal with lawyers.
I had one.

There's no evidence that piracy causes any type of harm to these multi-trillion dollar American entertainment conglomerates. Moving heaven and earth to extract a citizen from another country using the power of the state, and drag him before their feet is tyrannical.
Sure, but why should we think that those deals will be better than what “Search Google” has with “Ads Google” today?

Whatever revenue is attributed to Search today is just the result of internal horse-trading, perhaps augmented with some accountant’s estimation of “fair market value” for ad space in search results. After the breakup anything is fair game. Maybe the ad broker keeps 95% of ad revenue.

And, if you believe that Google has been using its monopoly to raise ad prices, why shouldn’t prices fall?
But was Google actively paying pirates to upload those full movies? That's the allegation against Kim.
Countries extradite criminals all the time for crimes done here or there or anywhere, its just that US stands above literally everybody else, or at least wants to, so its not an equal situation and never was.

This is underlined by other US excesses, ie [1] or the fact that US prisons are have many citizens of other states, but there are very few US citizens detained elsewhere (in democratic systems, not used for some political deals).

[1] "The Hague Invasion Act", as the act allows the president to order U.S. military action, such as an invasion of the Netherlands, where The Hague is located, to protect American officials and military personnel from prosecution or rescue them from custody.

OpenZiti maintainer (zrok sometimes). It depends on your definitions of peer to peer. the private sharing functionality is peer-to-peer at the application level using a zero trust tunnel, but it'll ride through/over the openziti overlay network (the zero trust part).

If you use the public sharing option, it's definitely "just" a reverse proxy back to your share location without the need to open a firewall hole in your home network. Super useful for plenty of tasks and there are numerous offerings like this.

You can self-host everything yourself if you like or you can use the NaaS version provided by NetFoundry. We operate the zrok/openziti overlay for you in that case. To self-host you would need an openziti overlay network, a zrok controller and zrok front end. It's pretty easy (well, easy for me maybe) overall. People are starting to self-host more and more zrok instances. The software is all strictly opensource and a liberal apache v2 license. You can find them on github:

* https://github.com/openziti/ziti/
* https://github.com/openziti/zrok

If you (or anyone) appreciate free, open source tooling like this, don't forget to give the projects a star on github and help spread the word! :)

When they lay tracks, they try to lay them during the hottest time of the year so they'll be at maximum expansion.

Alternatively, rather than right angle cross-cuts they can do the acute slip-cut that allows the tracks to slip by each other --I think the main drawback is wear with these expansion joints.

The normal gapped joints lead to the clickity-clank and also have an issue with compaction of the railbed.

Ehh... I'd say Youtube initially wasn't a super popular pirating option. The 10 minute limits meant you had to put everything up in chunks and at the time there weren't many super user friendly options to download them as a batch. You'd often enough have things where one part would eventually be missing and that'd ruin the whole thing.
For tv shows it could be okay but for films once you're dealing with 10+ parts, often without knowledge of playlists, it'd get grating fast.

Youtube first broke through for me as the main form of sharing embedded music videos on forums and myspace so I always assume that's how most encountered it. A lot of these were probably pirated content too but pirated promotional content so a bit blurrier imo than Megaupload/megavideo
Depends - sometimes/often the goal is just to bring it into a modern language to improve maintainability (i.e. its an easier hire) rather than to do a ground-up rewrite.

Especially as ground-up rewrites are often risky, and bringing it into a modern language might make it easier to incrementally improve/refactor over time.

Related: given that markdown is meant to be read, it kind of drives me up the wall that some people nowadays run autoformatters like Prettier on it. Super-aggressive formatters like prettier remove various whitespace, and mangle other things that human authors do for readability. Which is fine if the file is something that's only ever meant to be parsed by scripts, but the whole point of markdown is that people read it!

(edited to add: It wouldn't really be an issue if prettier had some config options for not mangling whitespace, but that ship seems to have sailed for some reason.)

We really need to eliminate all these special powers afforded to judges, police and other government officials. They are civil servants and need to remember whatever authority they have is granted by the people and exists only to serve the community. Sadly, most of the people in government don't seem to realize this fact of public office / civil service in any democratic society.

I like the technology here, but at the same time I feel like they've been on this trajectory since the beginning. It's just another VC-backed company using open source for marketing, without any legitimate desire to actually be open source. At least now they've pulled the wool off of it.

1. Doesn’t that bring us back to a monopoly? One dominant seller of ad space with many buyers? Do we just recursively split out the ad sales and then ask search to sell ads?

2. Why is everyone here so convinced that ad rates will go up with this structure? Isn’t part of the reason for Google’s conviction that they are charging too much for ads?

One big (alleged) difference that many folks skip over when mentioning YouTube is that Kim actively and not very secretly recruited pirates to upload known pirated stuff. YouTube may have done a crap job at preventing privacy but they weren't actively soliciting pirates and paying them.

Only after people badgered them to remove their claim that anything communicating with Minio gets infected by AGPL immediately. Their compliance page used to claim:

> Combining MinIO software as part of a larger software stack triggers your GNU AGPL v3 obligations. The method of combining does not matter. When MinIO is linked to a larger software stack in any form, including statically, dynamically, pipes, or containerized and invoked remotely, the AGPL v3 applies to your use. What triggers the AGPL v3 obligations is the exchanging data between the larger stack and MinIO.

When an employee quits they should have to exhaustively enumerate such trade secrets and evidence the quitting employee in fact knows about them.

What sort of capability does the US court system have to admit accountability or remediate past mistakes or to question whether a judge still belongs as a judge? I don't think I've ever seen this happen outside of the appeal system (admittedly working far from its day to day business).

It's really quite revealing that the judge seems to believe the power of the court emerges from fear of it, not out of its unique ability to resolve disputes reasonably.
Pretty much. According to someone on Stack Exchange, "The most serious difficulties with Euclid from the modern point of view is that he did not realize that an axiom was needed for congruence of triangles, Euclids proof by superposition is not considered as a valid proof." But making mistakes in a formal treatment of a subject does not negate the fact that it is a formal treatment of the subject IMHO, and AFAICR none of the theorems in Elements is wrong; i.e., Elements is formal enough to have avoided a mistake even though the axioms listed weren't all the axiom that are actually needed to support the theorems.

18th Century European math was much more potent than ancient Greek math, and although parts of it like algebra and geometry were, for a long time, most of it was not understood at a formal or rigorous level for a long time even if we accept the level of rigor found in Elements.

For whatever reason Toyota seems to be designing their hybrid truck options as power upgrades rather than efficiency upgrades. They often put the exact same engine in and just add 50HP and 150 ft/lb of torque with an electric motor.

> The second part of this story comes down to why customers might choose Open Source software in the first place. Many of them are looking to invest into modern, less mature technologies.

This, in my eyes, is the opposite of why most Open Source software is selected. Business technology over the past 10 years has been obsessed with disruption, to the point that you're almost always pitched some greenfield tech with 2 or 3 production-integrated customers. The old guard is Open Source, you're never not comparing a new product to the free alternatives that can be had for nothing. That was a big part of the GNU movement and persists as an advantage today.

Open Source isn't a business model, but if you can't give your product away for free there's practically no chance you'll succeed with less permissive licensing. Frankly if you spend that much time tinkering with a trendy license like BSL or FSL, I'll basically conclude you're insecure about your product's image.
> That's another company that feels like they don't want to be an OSS company after all

TBH that's nothing new for Cockroach. Even back when they were open core, the core was so restricted it didn't include backup & restore.

I think that may have changed, but only when they changed the license of the core to BSL, that is making the core non open source for three years.
Judges do have oversight and they can / are disciplined for behavior. It even happens when the behavior would be otherwise legal for most folks, but inappropriate for a judge who does something outside the court as an individual.

It happens fairly regularly.

Yes, like many criminal defendants, he always claimed to be compliant with the law.

They did have an "Abuse Tool" available. The problem was, it was intentionally flawed. It was a sham, intended to make it appear like they were compliant, when they were not. It didn't remove infringing content. It just removed the link. Also, Kim intentionally limited content holders in the number of requests they could send. So, pirates using the system just created more links to the same infringing content.
