Even this court opinion makes the same stupid mistake of misunderstanding what an ISP does in their attempt to further define what an information service is.

> In short, an “information service” manipulates data, while a “telecommunications service” does not.

Hacker News manipulates the data you put into the text box to post that comment into the list of comments it serves to me. My ISP absolutely did not in any way manipulate a single bit of that data Hacker News sent as a reply to me when I requested to Hacker News, not my ISP for that comment data.

So even with this opinion's simplified standard of what an information service is, ISPs absolutely fail to meet this standard.

Its astounding to me people can actually think an ISP is an "information service" under the 1996 definition.

And before you suggest "well the ISP probably did some other weird stuff inside their networks to actually transit those packets to you", the 1996 definition carves out that just doing the things needed to be a telecommunications provider does not make you an information service provider.

> but does not include any use of any such capability for the management, control, or operation of a telecommunications system or the management of a telecommunications service.

Both break the civil law , you can absolutely sue the thief for damages for lost property.

Typically this is not done because it is not worth the lawyer expenses as recovery chances are pretty slim unless it is a kleptomaniac billionaire maybe , instead you claim insurance to recover on your losses.

Similarly copyright theft is also same as any other property theft, you can charge under criminal law as well , typically success rate is not high , but people have gone to prison over pirating movies or bootlegging stuff etc
If Tesla's valuation reflected its value as a regular car company like, say, Toyota, it would be vastly lower. Shareholders would lose oodles of money.
I recently gave Ghostty a chance and have since switched over from iTerm2 completely. It's very familiar and polished.
Why do any of this rather than just have the GPU prove its identity to the streaming platform? You're adding a lot of complexity for no obvious gain.
No, it is absolutely not “what you’re familiar with”. Is there a “spring” command that generates controller + view + test for you? That does migrations? Can you say “install spring” and get everything you need to start without stitching dozens of scattered spring artifacts?
I’m not even going to talk about one of the most verbose languages out there locked into OOP, made dynamic with thousands of annotations and held together by a DI framework.

Spring is an industrial factory that is good for huge teams, because it acts as a straight jacket.
If I understand correctly, it's triggering an actual wifi AP scan, and the AP enumeration in the registry is a side effect of finding the interface to go ask it to rescan.

But I might be missing something.
On the contrary, I'd expect the Supreme Court to say exactly something like that when it suits them. The Supreme Court throughout history has invented as many hoops as they needed and then jumped through them in order to appeal to political winds and public opinion.
I don't take that meaning from it. To me the message is just that in many cases, up is a stupid direction to go. The hierarchies we use to organize the world are a blindness to be overcome, not a set of goals to be pursued.
> one of the keys is repeated contact

The other is hierarchy. You can't automate reputation scoring.
For anyone that wants to go super deep on the series I cannot recommend this podcast enough: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lubbers-hole-a-pat...

They unpack each novel paragraph by paragraph and sometimes line by line. After reading the novels 5x through I found a whole new realm of depth and enjoyment. O’Brian is a truly masterful writer and his learning and erudition are simply astounding sometimes.

As for the audiobooks, Patrick Tull cannot hold a candle to Simon Vance’s sublime narration. Sadly blackstone audio isn’t making them available right now unless you can find them on your local library’s app.

Show HN: BeatApp – A Productivity Tool for Task Management and Collaboration
Have you ever been frustrated with the one-dimensional nature of traditional task management apps? You know the type—simple to-do lists where everything is just linear and disconnected. Tasks are presented as isolated items , without context or understanding of how they relate to each other . As a result, productivity feels like you're constantly jumping between scattered tasks , without a clear view of the bigger picture .

Why I Built BeatApp:

After struggling with this kind of task management for too long , I realized that the best productivity tools should offer context and connections between tasks, not just checkboxes to mark off . That’s why I created BeatApp—a task management tool that goes beyond the basics and helps you visualize tasks as part of a larger workflow . Here’s how it’s different:

What Makes BeatApp Different:

Multidimensional Task Management : BeatApp uses a visual approach with React Flow to show tasks as interconnected nodes . Dependencies are represented with edges, so you can see how everything fits together and make smarter decisions about what to work on next .

Spotify Integration for Focus : Music makes a huge difference in focus . BeatApp syncs with Spotify, offering playlists tailored to your productivity level . Whether you need something to get into a flow state or something to chill with , BeatApp has you covered.

Real-Time Collaboration : Work on tasks with others in real time . BeatApp is built to let teams collaborate easily , keeping everyone aligned and ensuring tasks stay on track .

Task Recommendations : BeatApp analyzes your workload and suggests the most important tasks to tackle next.

Leaderboards and Stats : BeatApp tracks your progress and lets you see how productive you’ve been over time . Plus, there’s a weekly leaderboard to inspire a bit of friendly competition .

Why BeatApp:
Unlike traditional task managers , BeatApp isn’t just a digital to-do list . It’s a multidimensional productivity tool that helps you understand how your tasks relate , keep you focused with music , and collaborate seamlessly with others . It’s all about connecting the dots in your workflow , so productivity doesn’t feel like a solo race anymore .

They want other people's information to be free for them. I doubt very much that they want their professional work to be free to other people.

It takes a certain kind of insanity to think that it's feasible to spend millions of dollars writing software when your customers are all entitled to take it for free.
this seems true and explains my inability to locate the plugin tooling for the latest version of Acrobat to develop some local extensions. My next move was to contact Adobe and ask directly where the corresponding SDK is to be downloaded for the latest local version of Acrobat. Sometimes companies give you some internal link that you can't find publicly or can't navigate to from the present version of their website.
> Most people are happy living in a fair ecosystem

For varying and self-serving definitions of fair. (Almost everyone in the rich world is in an unfairly-advantaged minority.)
Consumer want has to be expressible. It's the "faster horses" problem.

The market doesn't know what it wants until the options exist. Until a culture forms.

Almost all companies are competing in one direction only, a race to the bottom. There's sometimes some semi-geeks freedoms offered, but usually those are gilded cages too. We'd have to go back some something like Maemo to see consumers getting something actually empowering, a portable mobile Linux+FreeDesktop offering.
Yeah #1 reduces the surface area for sure, #2 maybe not so much :)

Individual journalists themselves tend to lean left

Hmm so people who spend their time researching economic, social, and political issues lean left? And that doesn't indicate anything to you?

Here's a study you might be interested in

No, I'm not interested in any sketchy links / misinformation you are providing.

These used to be well-respected institutions but they have destroyed any semblance of impartiality in writing and good will toward the masses.

Or conservative media like fox news panders to racism and bigotry for profit.
I think the jump from ChatGPT to GPT4 was also something like 130 ELO points. This roughly equals 2/3 preference for the new model, 1/3 preference for the old model. That's roughly how much top models have improved for an "average query".

Now, none of us enter average queries :) We all have specific use cases in mind. So any specific user's mileage will vary.

I personally feel substantial improvement. I don't feel the need to google every LLM answer 5 times to feel confident about it :)
My favorite stupid wifi thing I ever had, for some value of favorite, was a previous incarnation of my home router, which apparently had a known issue where certain Intel wifi cards connecting to the AP would cause it to start having firmware crashes randomly, which I discovered when I brought home a new laptop and my wireless on every device started being unreliable...

Nothing to be done about it other than "don't do that" or "replace AP" since the firmware is a black box. It was...maddening.
In my experience technologies that were popular in the past but are basically dead now are a red flag. Perl, Pascal, Smalltalk, maybe even Java and C at this point, if they don't know anything newer.
It's actually embarrassing to Vancouver's organizational culture that this is where the Peter Principle was identified using case examples. In many ways, that prevailing set of attitudes that were identified as deeply problematic and inefficient have exploded into a city-wide culture problem. There are so many firms that just muddle along, it's a miracle they do as well as they do.

The upside is that small and efficient firms, grounded in meritocracy, can do a decent job competing with these companies (provided they can get any ins with vendors, clients, etc.)
Well, there should be laws to protect consumers from DRM, instead of laws to prevent consumers from circumventing DRM for legal uses, like say consuming the content they paid for on the device of their choice.
Apple doesn’t have bash as their default anymore, it’s been zsh for years.

I presume they keep a bash around due to how ubiquitous it is for scripting.
The "being able to charge at home" is why I recently purchased an petrol powered Subaru.

But every online comment and guide telling people to simply install a charger in their driveway assumes a certain amount of privilege, and I feel a lot of this discussion just assumes everyone has that privilege. I'm currently living in an apartment, my underground car park has no power runs anywhere near my car. Before that I lived in a rented house, and getting permission to install anything that required drilling a single hole would have been a non starter.
Nice! This will make my podcast blog to RSS generator a whole lot easier since I just need to grab some headers from the MP3 in addition to info the the page.

VW ID.4, road tripping around the northeast (NJ/NY) and midwest (to/fro Michigan).

In your case, the Leaf is the single EV that should never be or have been sold or rented out since around 2020. It's ancient and is the last EV lacking support for the major fast charging plugs in north America, so I'm not surprised you had charging issues! I'm really sorry they gave you that car!

Whatever problem that is, it’s not Net Neutrality. NN is about ISPs being able to do things like sell different service levels, like package A includes access to Facebook and Google only, package B includes package A plus Instagram and Netflix, package C includes package B plus TikTok, etc. Or doing things like making their own video service while making Netflix unusably slow.

Not saying your issue also isn’t valid, but it can be addressed by market forces when enough people get sick of that type of behavior (like Twitter/X) and move to something else (like Bluesky). Most people don’t have any real choice between ISPs (through monopolies that have been granted to them for decades by local governments), and therefore there needs to be some additional legal protection against that type of behavior.

Trying to lump them both together under NN is part of the playbook that Big ISP has been using for years to muddy the issue.

Do you have a version that requires more kills?

At 20 or so it would be a useful admin login challenge.

To make it less hackable it could perhaps submit which monsters were killed and/or the time between kills or some other pattern. If the set roughly matches the previous attempts it could make for quite the challenge to brute force.

The "hackers" are already complaining that the challenge is to much for them :p I think you are onto something.
>“[U]nlike past challenges that the D.C. Circuit considered under Chevron, we no longer afford deference to the FCC's reading of the statute. Loper Bright Enters. v. Raimondo, 144 S. Ct. 2244, 2266 (2024) (overruling Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837 (1984) ) … Using ‘the traditional tools of statutory construction,’ id., we hold that Broadband Internet Service Providers offer only an ‘information service’ under 47 U.S.C. § 153(24), and therefore, the FCC lacks the statutory authority to impose its desired net-neutrality policies through the ‘telecommunications service'’ provision of the Communications Act, id. § 153(51).

>47 U.S.C. § 153(24) information service
The term “information service” means the offering of a capability for generating, acquiring, storing, transforming, processing, retrieving, utilizing, or making available information via telecommunications, and includes electronic publishing, but does not include any use of any such capability for the management, control, or operation of a telecommunications system or the management of a telecommunications service.

>telecommunications 47 USC § 153(50)
The term “telecommunications” means the transmission, between or among points specified by the user, of information of the user’s choosing, without change in the form or content of the information as sent and received.

What in the absolute hell are these definitions. These sound like they were made by the world's first LLM.
I'm sorry that the area you are exercising in is rotten and does not have the minimum scientific standard. But please, do not reach conclusion that are blatantly incorrect in areas you don't know.

The problem is not really "academia", it is that, in your area, the academic community is particularly poor. The problem is not really the "replication crisis", it is that, in your area, even before we reach the concept of replication crisis, the work is not even reaching the basic scientific standard.

Oh, I guess it is Occams Razor after all: "It's really strange seeing how many (academic) people will talk themselves into bizarre explanations for a simple phenomenon of widespread results hacking to generate required impact numbers". Occams Razor explanation: so many (academic) people will not talk about the malpractice because so many (academic) people work in an area where these malpractice are exceptional.
We do have that. In law copyright infringement is categorically not "theft" and is not even handled by the same type of court.

The "copyright infringement (is / isn't) theft" argument is drivel on the same intellectual level as "corporations are people."
> Tutorials often forget to mention some key detail, preventing readers from replicating the author’s process.

I also find this sometimes.

A high quality tutorial on the other hand, is often one where the author bothered to set up a fresh VM and follow their own guide step by step to confirm that everything works as described. This way the author avoids unintentionally forgetting to mention additional dependencies that have to be installed and additional config files that need to be tweaked in order for the steps to work.
Yet another defense of these practices, it's almost as if you're not sincerely trying to put blame in the right place as you've said in other comments on this story but rather defending the whole evil industry like a shill.
Mobile broadband uses public airwaves, which is entirely FCC jurisdiction.
I was in a similar position to you (I hope dang does not mind a throwaway being used for such purpose). You're actually better off then where I was at the time, because you've already traced it to childhood issues.

I could feel myself sinking but I didn't know what was causing it. I started getting caught up in drugs, alcohol, etc., and I knew that it wasn't me but at the same time like a hydra if I cut off one vice suddenly another way to "cope" would surface. I now understand where the traditional notion of being "possessed" comes from, it's not possession by an external force but possession by your own inner demons that simply can't be suppressed any longer.

You are right that most therapy was useless, they don't address the core issues. I will suggest the book "The Presence Process". I'm sure you're tired of self-help books, but this one is the first one I've read that actually "pulls up the weeds of trauma" out of your mind (actually it can't do such a thing and it even says so, what it can do is pull back the facade to allow you to feel for yourself where the weeds are and allow the mind's natural garbage collection mechanism to take over. This isn't an easy process, as the shadow self surfaces you're going to feel worse). And what you wrote about issues being "largely the same ones I dealt with 5 or 10 years ago" is actually almost straight from a chapter in the book, it calls it the "7 year cycle" of resurfacing trauma.
Hey that's totally fair, appreciate the feedback.
"this monotonicity" that OP suggests people not use is specifically the additional monotonicity.

Or to put it another way: OP is suggesting you don't depend on it being properly monotonic, because the default is that it is only partially monotonic.
Maybe so, but in this case, I don't think 'stars' is a good candidate for one of those metrics. I think the people worried about 'fake stars' are doing it wrong, and should just ignore the metric entirely.

I'm relatively certain one of the motivations is to avoid people using Windows on virtualization without their consent.
What is going to happen with this? It’s pretty unimaginable that Windows would drop support for 30% of PCs or whatever, exposing them all to viruses.

You have to consider that when you are a new drummer you won't have good control of your power. So you will tend to hit things a lot harder just to keep up. This means you will break sticks and cymbals more often.

I have been playing for 10+ years that was a huge problem for me, but eventually your mind will adapt to dynamic nature of keeping time. I feel most people think keeping time as a singular action, but its mostly managing dynamics and spacing of music. Cymbals are fundamental to accomplish that.

I will say that I personally prefer Sabian since I am a rock/metal drummer. But Zildjian cymbals are thinner and softer they will have less volume but a brighter and more lush sound. Most of their products are designed for softer Jazz and Pop playing. If you want something in between Paiste and Meinl try to fill that gap.
> everyone, including yourself, is doomed to incompetence.

Welcome to the human condition. You are imperfect and will always lack perfect information.

> That every successful business you know of is run at a profit in spite of incompetence

That's just called "compromise." Those who are good at it are generally recognized as "good businessmen." Not because of their extreme competence but because of their willingness to accept these facts and remain positive and agile in the face of them.

> yet the company continued to succeed by momentum and great decisions that were made in the past

Well, precisely, skillful compromise can move mountains that otherwise would seem impossible.

> When the stars align and things are successful, its time to celebrate, but maybe don't assume it'll always happen that way.

It won't. And if it does it's likely due to your competition being absent or tardy, so, even if you do enjoy this once or twice in your career, it's certainly not going to last.

> but maybe this new initiative from the CEO isn't quite as important to the success of your company as they may make you believe.

Yea but they're going to pay you the same for the work anyways.
