We already know how this will end. Russia will arrest a few French tourists on trumped up charges and they'll sit in a sad Russian jail until Macron intervenes and lets Durov go. It's the same playbook over and over. Durov is like the Russian Mark Zuckerberg, people at this level are not touchable by the law if they have the czar's favor.
> The law doesn't work this way. Deliberately circumventing copyright via something like Copilot will have different consequences, even if the eventual outcome is that Copilot is allowed to train on open source code that has restrictive licenses.

Copilot is a deliberate circumvention of copyright. It might be legal but that doesn't change the clear intent here: charging people without having to do the work you're charging for.

Minimum wages are good on their own and do not appear to have downsides in practice. You don't need to "not need" them.

Basically think of it as banning wasting people's time by offering them really bad jobs. (This is the "search theory" explanation, but there's also the "monopsony theory" explanation, which is that they can increase employment!)

Of course, wage boards and sectoral bargaining systems are probably better since they're more flexible.
Interesting.

I really invested heavily into the Alexa system. It is super cool and futureistic! I have dots, the wallplug, echo show, studio, etc.

I just wish Amazon had invested in the usability of it more!
The shingles are nailed at the top, and the overlapping one keeps it dry. (On mine, they're screwed in.) High winds could drive the water up under the shingles, but that happens rarely so they aren't kept wet.

Anything that goes through the roof disrupts this, so skylights, vents, chimneys, fans, antennas, etc., all are points of concern.
I can only read the first paragraph using your link, so the HN guidelines need updating. The original "thereaderapp" link is much better, and I've frequently seen URL updates to pages with better content, even when the story doesn't originate there.

De facto, HN should and does allow links with actually readable content.
I think the article gets this upside down.

When 100 companies have an identical problem, and it's not a problem that's in the domain of what they're competing over, then it's a tremendous waste of labor for them to come up with 100 separate solutions. It's just cheaper for them to allow enough wiggle room that the problem gets solved in the open so they can all get on to focusing on whatever it is that makes them different from their competitors.
My current phone is a Volla 22 with Ubuntu Touch, it's pretty good (although the battery doesn't last me a day, sadly). To be honest, though, I kinda miss the scopes of the OG Ubuntu Touch.
All your requirements could equally well fulfilled by PHP:

- easy distribution (like "go install"): composer install works the same way.

- minimal dependencies, tests and thus stability and security (like go ecosystem): the packagist/PHP ecosystem is of very high quality in general, packages tend to have few dependencies, and have solid test coverage.

- cross platform support: PHP runs virtually everywhere.

- source code proxies by Google, checksums, and prevention of attacks (thanks to security of go ecosystem): Packagist might not be served directly by Google, but the entire infrastructure is built around GitHub, where published artifacts map to the source files on GitHub 1:1; so you can trust on Git refs as checksums.

400 miles is at least 5 hours of driving, which is a bit long for not even having a pee break. Since you're driving a BEV, it's also above the maximum range of your car, so you had to have stopped at some point, which suggests that there are details in your claim that are already missing because (you feel) those details don't matter to the essential truth of your statement.

I believe that you believe you made a 400-mile drive with full self-driving without any issues. But I also believe that belief can be made in good faith even if there were issues during that drive--either the things that did come up you don't mentally classify as issues, or you've just failed to commit what did happen to memory.

That's not a knock on you, by the way; recently, I've been struck in a number of instances the times where I have physical proof something happened yet I have absolutely no memory whatsoever of it happening while feeling that I would have had to have that memory. Human memory is notoriously finicky and fallible.
There's a difference between hard and impossible. Trying to create any sort of formal ideas around something that cannot be measured, quantified, or evaluated in any way, shape, or fashion (and may likely never be able to be so) is simply not possible. It's like trying to create a scientific framework for a God. It just doesn't work. As for ethics, one point we may differ is that I don't see consciousness as inherently leading to anything. Whether awful, or great, people have consciousnesses, or not, does not change my view of them.
I wouldn't be surprised if those accounts spread From the River to the Sea messages, which is basically calling for a genocide

If that were the concern they would swiftly ban the accounts of the Likud party, which has used the slogan in genocidal contexts as well (and continues to spout such rhetoric, along with its coalition partners). And in fact, the origins of the phrase can be traced back to Zionist literature from the 1920s. From Wikipedia:

The 1977 election manifesto of the right-wing Israeli Likud party said: "Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty." ... The Israeli-American historian Omer Bartov notes that Zionist usage of such language predates the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and began with the Revisionist movement of Zionism led by Vladimir Jabotinski, which spoke of establishing a Jewish state in all of Palestine and had a song which includes: "The Jordan has two banks; this one is ours, and the other one too," suggesting a Jewish state extending even beyond the Jordan River.

In any case -- current usage of the slogan from the pro-Palestine activist side is not intrinsically genocidal. Some basically do mean it that way. But most (at least those I talk to) do not. In their view it just means they want a Palestine that is "democratic, pluralistic, free from apartheid and other forms of oppression".

And there's certainly nothing untoward about wanting that.
Somehow they must transfer the chat history from their servers to the user. Either it's plain text, or encrypted and they either use the keys to decrypt or send the keys to the user along with the encrypted content. In all cases they can simply access the contents themselves.
The smart man knows all of these things exist. The wise man understands when these things matter.

DWDM protected waves, MPLS, etc, are all out of scope when someone does a traceroute, finds their traffic is going to Europe asks me about it, and then I see a local upstream has picked up Cogent as a transit provider, and Cogent is preferring their customer routes over routes from their Tier 1 settlement free peers.

But this article is very much a primer, it's using the unix format of traceroute and talking about ICMP.

I think the extent to which one could say open source software is in decline is driven by the fact that FOSS was recently considered by many big VC firms to be an “investable category” and now that view is less popular.

True FOSS has always been uninvestable, healthy, and small. But we’ve had a lot of “eventually fake” (non-MIT/GPL) FOSS in the last decade. Elasticsearch, mongodb, cockroach, and so on.

True FOSS (maintainers not beholden to rent-seeking investors), as always, trudges along. Because it’s growth is not correlated to market returns.
Removing/blocking apps deprives users who benefit from these apps. That's the actual freedom violation but for some reason a lot of people are ready to accept it as solution. It's very sad actually.

Just lock up the people responsible for the problems, why would you deprive people from the products the use?

A future I want to live is a future where offenders get punished, not a future where I'm dissolved of using products that offenders used to offend.
Can you elaborate on specifics of corruption?
Could is certainly a better word, yes. There is no guarantee that it will happen, only that it could. The existence of LLMs is proof of that; imagine how large and inefficient a handwritten computer program to generate the next token would be. On the flipside, human beings very effectively predicting the next token, and much more, on 5 watts is proof that LLM in their current form certainly are not the most efficient method for generating next token.

I don't really know why everyone is piling on me here. Sorry for a bit of fun speculating! This model is on the continuum. There is a latent representation of Doom in weights. some weights, not these weights. Therefore some representation of doom in a neural net could become more efficient over time. That's really the point I'm trying to make.
The ads thing is unreal. "Customer obsession". I pay the extra 2.99 and still see pre-roll ads, but those apparently, according to customer service, don't count as ads. Oh, and part of the platform is under "freevee," which is an ad-based service, so "obviously" the fee for removing ads doesn't apply to that one. Prime started out great. I still like that I can pay money in exchange for watching something, but ham-fisting of ads fills me with contempt for the entire thing.

Wrote about this a few years ago.

> In giving companies a free pass to enter the “open source community,” however, certain hackers said “take what you want and give what you want” to a bunch of organizations built around maximizing the ratio of the former to the latter.

Like the author says, investment by these entities can balloon the (F)OSS ecosystem, but when they contract (as is inevitable in a boom-and-bust economy), the nonrenewable resources that actually write the stuff (humans) will burn out.

Most SaaS is a UI in front of a SQL database with a few services built around it. Sometimes these services are quite minimal. Sometimes it really is just a UI for a database with not much else.

The fact that it earns so much shows that the thing people pay for, for the most part, is usability and convenience... as if Apple being the most valuable company in the world for a while didn't already illustrate that.

That a government would arrest a CEO in an effort to solve this problem shows that there's more going on than a simple legal dispute.

That's not something that DisTrO solves, but there's plenty of research in that area! See https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.11913 , https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.01288 , https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.11277 etc :)
Its really hard to tell if someones cheating based on the things you can check because it can look like low ping or just a slightly better than average player. In those cases, our genuine best players might accidentally trigger. (which has happened)

There are egregious examples of cheating, sure, but those people are always banned within the hour.

The real killer was the free weekends, it makes it so that there is no “cost” to cheating for a while since being banned on a fresh account has no meaning.
In one sense you're right. The set of normal numbers has measure 1 so if you choose a real number randomly it will be normal and have the same properties.

In another sense you're very wrong. The set of uncomputable numbers also has measure 1. So while there are lots of normal numbers Pi belongs to a pretty exclusive club of numbers we can actually look at.

It's not a particularly deep result but the fact that the set of computable numbers is countable will never not make me existential. Every number that we can actually express, that we will ever know, is no bigger than the whole numbers.
I read the original post and thought: "someone knows a more efficient way to do this."

>> None of these products claim to be HP.

HP would claim that the simple statement "compatible with HP xyz printer" makes it counterfeit, an improper use of HP trademarks in the statement. HP wants a world where anyone searching for "Ink for HP printer" will only ever see HP-licensed products.
> Also, Telegram seems to have been banned in Russia at times, although I do not know the specific details.

Russia tried a bunch of times to block Russia (since it got banned for not cooperating with the government) but never successfully, seems Telegran anti-censorship methods works well enough. Eventually Russia relented and undid the ban and block. But I don't think Telegram actually stopped working in Russia at any point.

LXQt uses Qt but it's not KDE, Cinnamon, MATE,... use Gtk, but they're not GNOME. And Enlightenment uses EFL, so it isn't part of any Qt/Gtk duopoly.
So I live in one of the mentioned flat roofed houses. We restored it to its original appearance, but with very modern internals (proper insulation, heatpump, wall and ceiling heating areas, KNX-based smart home, etc.). It’s a piece of art on 110sqm, with very practical floor plan. To optimize space and material, every single wall has optimized thickness. Really impressive attention to detail some 100 years ago. Oh, and the roof has never leaked… (2.54 degree pitch btw)
I worked as a dishwasher in the '90s at a fancy hotel for a couple years as a teen. I was in high school, was from a single parent household, my mom needed financial help, I had no skills, and had to learn the language (English).

This particular kitchen though was enormous since it serviced 3 restaurants and a lounge. So the days were long and I had to work pretty much every major holiday and/or especial day. The worst was Mother's Day. It was brutal. Always a Sunday morning and unrelenting.

It was a sweaty, tough, smelly, and undignified, at times, kind of job. The chemicals in the soap used by the machine were abrasive as hell. Burned your freaking fingertips over time.

Only good thing about the job was lunch time. Having access to a lot of good food. But you never wanted to eat your meal around other people since everyone else thought you smelled and were put off by your sweaty appearance. Again, the job was not dignified, not in appearance anyway.

And I don't care what label or euphemistic title employers come up with for the job. (e.g. dishie, dishy, etc) It still doesn't change the job. It does not make it dignified until they start paying more money and more and more people want to do it cause it pays more. Until then, job freaking sucks.

A dishwasher by any other name would still have smelly, peeled and cracked hands.
Immigrants do not compete with native workers because they have complementary skills (like different native languages). The evidence is very very strong that immigration does not decrease wages. It generally increases them because it provides new demand, though that's not guaranteed.
It's a fork with a lot of modifications (mostly removing deprecated stuff and making it cross-platform). You can still see a lot of ancient stuff in the sources such as referring to the base Object class as "COM+ object" (.NET was originally envisioned as a successor to COM).

>An early name for the .NET platform, back when it was envisioned as a successor to the COM platform (hence, "COM+"). Used in various places in the CLR infrastructure, most prominently as a common prefix for the names of internal configuration settings. Note that this is different from the product that eventually ended up being named COM+.

If the 400k ones are good and won't leave, those.

Anyone whose worked with a dozen or so people will know they're never equal. There's generally at least one 'guru' in the group who knows the ins, outs, and why's of everything. At big companies they'll get split up so there's only one per team, with maybe a couple roaming super team for anything truly major.

But I've certainly met engineers who are worth at least 2 lower engineers.
It’s not a copyright violation.

Maybe not myself, but many averagely-talented artists can draw Mickey Mouse.

They might even draw one for me if I ask! Or I can just find it on Google… (technically my computer is producing it on the screen…)

That in itself is not a copyright violation. But if I use it, in a commercial manner, then it becomes a copyright violation.

Producing copyrighted things isn’t illegal. It’s on the user to not use copyrighted things, in a way that’s illegal (not fair use or licenced).

My #1 frustration with the evolution of technology over the past quarter century:

I’m nearly certain that there was a window—say around 2009—after IE’s domination had disintegrated through Microsoft’s legal woes & complacency, but before the web’s reorientation to mobile and Chrome-first monoculture, when it would have been possible for a real set of standards and infrastructure for world-wide distributed hash tables and catalogs thereof to emerge and take hold.

But that window closed, probably because the most attractive consumer use case was piracy, and no big players wanted to dive into that morass.

Oh well.

To a degree, the dedicated barcode scanners is still a fair bit faster. So anything dealing with high volumes of barcodes like warehousing inventory or store stock management benefits from a dedicated scanner.

E2E encryption comes with tradeoffs, it's not something you tack on to a protocol and not having to change a bunch of other stuff.

I think one of the main selling point of Telegram is the public channels/huge groups where you can openly communicate with people, and tacking E2E encryption into those would probably involve a ton of work, not really sure how it would work (or what benefit it would bring)
