It's also required to file suit anyway, but for that purpose does not have to be done before the infringement (IE you can register after infringement) - see Fourth Estate Public Benefit Corp. v. Wall-Street.com LLC et al

You are somewhat correct on the statutory damages part.

You can also register after learning of infringement there, as long as it is within 3 months of publication:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/412

This is just the statutory damages side. The author is also wrong in the "no loss" thing anyway because what courts consider loss is much greater than the average expectation of people :)

I also think they severely underestimate the ease with which they can cut off contributory/etc infringement liability claims.

They seem to think they just get to remove the code and go about their life, but in practice, it's not that simple.
Well I don't think someone adapting to new disabilities or impairments should be punished for it. So if someone is getting PIP'd a few months after returning from covid and aren't performing, I think theres a lot of moral failings as a manager/owner/employer you can have if you don't take it into account.

Also, why is it wrong to want to provide grace to those dealing with it? Like suddenly losing IQ or getting a cognitive impairment is a huge part of someone's life, there are non-invasive and non-condescending ways to support them
Ok but it’s still a jerk move that none of us would want to experience, right? Like can we at least agree it was malicious and unwanted?

> Whenever there are more than two people together, there are politics - even if you try to pretend there aren't. There's no escaping it.

This is an equivocation. Sure, any time there is a group there will be "politics," but that doesn't have to mean the kind of social dynamics many people associate with the word. A group built on trust and cooperation is just as possible.
All web-based software makes sense as a subscription because of ongoing maintenance costs. Servers, security updates, bug fixes, dealing with app stores, testing on new devices... it adds up in an unpredictable way.

That's not even considering the many subscriptions a developer has to pay, including to Apple.

We (https://github.com/husqvarnagroup/smart-garden-gateway-publi...) are using systemd on devices with 128 MB of RAM and are happy with it. It solves so many problems one usually has to fiddle with, totally worth a few MBs of RAM.
No, you’re misunderstanding. The F–35 has three displays, the heads–up display in the helmet, the primary display which is a large LCD panel that takes up the entire width of the cockpit, and a smaller standby display below that. (You can find plenty of pictures.) The HMD and primary display both turned off, then rebooted and came back on several times. The standby display didn’t; it kept displaying the critical flight data and artificial horizon the entire time. There was no faulty data, there were no broken sensors, nothing. He could have simply flown the plane using the data on the standby display alone, and should have. That’s the mistake he made.

It says this directly in the report:

24. MP’s decision to eject was ultimately inappropriate, because
commanded flight inputs were in-progress at the time of ejection,
standby flight instrumentation was providing accurate data, and the
MA’s backup radio was, at least partially, functional. Furthermore,
the aircraft continued to fly for an extended period after ejection.

Is there a way with which you could expand the number of recipes available?

You have a set of ingredients at home (or easily purchaseable)—an evolution of this app could have you tell the app "look, I want recipes that use any of these 45 different ingredients, what recipes have we never tried?" And it has access to some big database of possibilities.
Skip the Apple tax and build a web app. A simple web app like this should not cost a significant amount of money to host.
It doesn’t, actually, because you have zero guarantees on what generation of hardware you’ll end up on from deployment to deployment. Haswell this time, Ice Lake next time. What fun!
The trouble is the justification of a subscription is evaluated differently by businesses and customers, and both perspectives are rational. If you’ve got servers to pay for, subscriptions are a very appealing model since it makes the “is this business sustainable” math very easy (and less charitably lots of businesses are after that sweet sweet subscription revenue because it tends to be sticky). As a customer, I think it’s also very reasonable to get annoyed that “everything is becoming a subscription” and say “why would I pay this much for something I might need once in a blue moon.”

Honestly, the servers an app like this would need would be a $3/mo VPS. I'm not arguing about the price, the author can charge whatever he wants, but I don't think he'll get many customers that way. It's a good thing that the server requirements are minimal.

It very well could be running on the same machine, and communicating with the app using unix sockets, which is a hell of a lot faster than TCP. But no one seems to be doing that much either.

I feel that the virtualize and distribute everything to hell and back-trend might actually be about to break, there are signs, and G knows it's about time. The amounts wasted on cloud providers for apps that would run everything just fine on a single server, the effort wasted configuring their offerings, surreal.
I think the Firaxis Civilization needs a cheap AlphaZero AI rather than an LLM: there are too many dumb footguns in Civ to economically hard-code a good strategic AI, yet solving the problem by making the enemies cheat is plain frustrating. It would be interesting to let an ANN play against a "classical" AI until it consistently beats each difficulty level, building a hierarchy. I am sure someone has already looked into this but I couldn't find any sources.

I am a bit skeptical about how computationally expensive a very crappy Civ ANN would be to run at inference time, though I actually have no idea how that scales - it hardly needs to be a grandmaster, but the distribution of dumb mistakes has a long tail.

Also, the DeepMind Starcraft 2 AI is different from AlphaZero since Starcraft is not a perfect information game. The AI requires a database of human games to "get off the ground"; otherwise it would just get crushed over and over in the early game, having no idea what the opponent is doing. It's hard to get that training data with a brand new game. Likewise Civ has always been a bit more focused on artistic expression than other 4x strategy games; maybe having to retrain an AI for every new Wonder is just too much of a burden.
How big are your projects? It's very strange to me that you would want to have just a single JS file per project. Even if you want to avoid bundlers, ES modules make it easy to import code from other files.

In 1987, doxxing yourself was the norm. ~80% of the Usenet messages from the 1980s (to early the 1990s) had names, institutions, office addresses, and phone numbers attached to them too. Most were universities, governments, or corporate R&D addresses, but there were many small businesses and home users as well. Some phone numbers are probably still valid today. In fact, an Usenet archive (UTZoo) has already been taken down from the Internet Archive due to an alleged legal threat made by an individual (despite that this archive was indispensable if anyone wants to find any historical information from this era, and that it had been available online for the last ~20 years before it was taken down, with multiple copies still online). I suspect the legal status of these kinds of early online community archives will be increasingly problematic over time.
the real treat is the wide and growing inequality, coming from individuals or goverments (made of individuals too) is the same.

Ukraine is helped by the US and other countries through supplying equipment, not fucking troops. Also, they got help since they were invaded, the help they get is for their own defence, not as an aggressor.

It makes no sense for you to write all of this argument and not consider this simple latter point, an aggressor force wanting to annex sections of a different country is getting help from a 3rd party outsider to even deploy troops.

Trying to fake a play as "both sides" is underhanded and shows quite well how immoral you are.
> pre internet, your name, address, and phone number would published in the widely distributed telephone book

This is used as a plot point in Steve Martin's movie "The Jerk". The titular character proudly sees their name and number in a phone book; the scene changes to a crazed gunman randomly choosing their next victim from a phone book and landing on the same name and number. Hilarity ensues.
Depends what “internet is down” means, but are you sure radio will carry news?

Even if the studio can get the signal out to a transmitter, how will news get to the studio? How will you be able to trust it? You might have someone saying something in a CB radio if you have one, but can you rely on that random person?
> In traditional voting, there is a pretty decent chance you know the person who does the counting or can find someone in your community who can personally vouch for them.

> But a lot of the exhaustion with Hollywood is simply that the faces of Hollywood - celebrity actors - just seem really self aggrandizing. The award shows. The unwelcome public stances on random topics. The ostentatious displays of wealth (fancy cars, mansions in exotic places, etc). The worship of celebrity that is practiced through glowing magazine interviews, coverage of personal issues (like divorces), and merchandising.

None of that is new though, and none of it has been exhausting before. So I’m not sure what would have changed.

Also to be clear, the the displays of wealth, the endless gossip about divorces etc… people like that stuff. It’s why magazines publish it.
When my wife and I were dating, we came up with a simple rule:

For the last boot you can use "journalctl -b -1" as long as you enabled persistent logs. If you ended up reinstalling everything, I don't think we can say whether that was a systemd related issue or not.

> [Redis] can respond in much less than a millisecond.

I have no idea how fast Redis can get, but it is entirely possible for an RDBMS to execute a query in well under a millisecond. I have instrumentation proving it. If everything is on the same machine, I would wager that IPC would ultimately be the bottleneck for both cases.
SharpNEAT – evolving NN topologies and weights with a genetic algorithm
I love postgres but it has some limitations:

- Want a KVstore? Do you know autovacuum? Do you know the connections pool limit? Do you want throughput or safety?

- Want a queue? is it sequential? Is it throttled? Is it fanout? Is it split by topic?

- Want a pubsub? do you care about more than once? do you care about losing messages? do you care about replaying messages?

- Want a lock? Do you know the connections pool limit (again)? Do you know about statement_timeout?

Yes, you can solve almost all issues listed above, but it's not that trivial.
As other posters mentioned, you would probably quickly run into FCC issues trying to scale up the radar to something powerful enough to reach across a lake.

It is legal to sell unhealthy food, ie poisonous food. Sugar is a poison, drugs are poisons. You can legally sell escolar a fish that if eaten too much is poisonous.

I run systemd-based Debian just fine on 512 MB RAM BeagleBoneBlack SBCs with 4GB emmcs. Now emacs, that's a problem due to the large install size.
Also in Sweden. Most people, almost everyone, have their phone numbers and addresses listed in publicly searchable databases. Everyone's taxable income is public too (accessing it online costs a nominal fee from an aggregator service).

It's fine, it's not really abused that much. You can request a protected identity from the authorities if you really do have stalkers but it's a bureaucratic hassle.

I’m not saying who or when or whether this ever actually happened, but there were kids in my hometown who would do this but announce to each location “please hold for a call from the regional manager” or something equally officious, then put them on and say something ridiculous but plausible enough to get them going. Ahh a different time.

So instead in popular markets the real estate listings will be flooded with fake properties that "just sold, but let me help you find something in your price range". If you don't think this is a possibility: this is exactly how real estate listings work outside the US where listings are free-for-all. In some markets up to 85% of listings are fakes.
Makes sense as a subscription for the developer, not the user. I’d not pay for this, subscription or not. It’s up to the person trying to sell me something to either convince me to pay (not happening in this case) or figure out other ways of making money (deals with restaurants, premium features, idk).

I get that there is work behind it, there is work behind everything, and I get they are reoccurring. What you mention is still valid, but in the real world, sob story about costs to run something are not something the customer cares about.

I dread the day my '97 4runner rusts just too much to ignore. They don't hold up to NJ well. I can afford anything and I hate everything current. Considering paying new trd pro price for whatever lovingly maintained 3rd gen I can find from the south or midwest. People have them, but they also love them and keep them. And a manual trans with 4wd is just even rarer. Maybe it will be worth actually buying just any version with a good frame and paying to have everything transplanted over. I can't stand automatic.

Or maybe go the other direction and hope that new Scout isn't just a fantasy. Even with the physical controls and generator, I hate that it will surely be fully computer operated and all by software I can't access or control at all. It will surely be nice physical controls and a pile of annoying wrong behaviors you can't fix.
I'm also based in Melbourne. I would add that all the above is true of maybe 95% of companies, but there are a few exceptions: big US-based tech companies. There are roles for devs that pay AU$250-$550K/year, including the data engineers. Unfortunately, there appears to be zero correlation with expertise and we have the exact same pain zone experience that I had when I was earning a third of this salary at an AU-headquartered company.

But if doctors work fewer hours that means the supply of doctor hours will be vastly outstripped by the demand causing the price of a doctor hour to increase. So wouldn't it be a self-balancing mechanism?
If you are both small enough that you’re considering cohosting the app and DB, the odds are good that your working set is small enough to comfortably fit into RAM on any decently-sized instance.

This is a fairly old article, but this has become a very common pattern. For 90% of projects that just need a task queue for sending email or generating reports, you're not going to be doing millions of messages a second and anything that simplifies your stack is worth looking at.
