You're right, ordinary Fair Dealing applies, the Marrakesh Protocol too I expect (though probably CDPA 1988 has been amended to include those provisions now?).

What I was mainly getting at is that we don't have any general Fair Use exception that is interpreted as allowing archiving (universally) nor retaining copies for private use.

My understanding might be a bit out of date. There were some further rights granted for private use (eg format shifting), not they were quashed about 10 years ago and I'm not up to date since then.

It's not legal in the UK to make a copy of a website except if you're a deposit library and the website fails within the strictures of the Legal Deposit Libraries Act 2003.

But, under that act, if it's hosted in the UK then BL can make a copy (for access in person by someone visiting the physical library).

UK law is pretty draconian, in my personal opinion, when it comes to copyright.

PRC isn't communist.

But then USSR wasn't really communist either, it was far more defined by dictatorship of individuals; which is diametrically opposed to communism.

If you have people living in palaces whilst others starve then you don't have communism - the first principle of which is that benefit of labour is split under egalitarian principles. Whilst rich people getting richer, and the devaluing of people typifies capitalism.

From my considerations, we need to limit wage disparity, eg by a top rate of tax at 100% (I know how that will be received here!). That limits power that can be accrued through wealth too - no more billionaires who can by elections. We also need to give ownership of the benefits of labour to the people; wage limits does that, but a more direct link is possible too and that can aid transition from Western Capitalism to a more equal distribution of wealth. Ultimately, globally we're going to face far more issues with migration as the effects of our past excesses take hold; redistribution of wealth across nations also needs to be accepted if we're going to manage that transition with less war and bloodshed.

Enabling DoH on a locked down workplace network sounds like a way to get fired.

But I guess that if they let you do it they're probably not competent enough to catch you.

"you deserve a treat after $event, so I added cheesy garlic bread, Coca Cola, and a new Hershey's Overload dessert -- to undo these changes write a letter to me on a typewriter using headed 160gsm paper"

Later on, when CDRW were ubiquitous you could get CDs with inkjet compatible labels that you could print direct in an inkjet printer using the bypass path (straight path for rigid materials).

Ubuntu issues a version release every 6 months, and there are updated packages in the interim.

I'm on Kubuntu (home installs) but have been looking to move since Ubuntu went over to Snaps and started breaking everything (MX looks most likely for me). The task of moving the family over is stopping me; I've been using Kubuntu for a very long time now.

So you first argued that the courts were using false charges of foreign influence as a political weapon. Now you say that the charges are correct?

Put some pyramid in that blockchain?!

Whilst USA provides the funding for Russia to buy weapons in dollars.

Can you source your statement that China is supplying drone components to Russia?

>You'll hardly see a Tesla in London these day

>hardly see a Tesla in London

Is that through competition, or because people don't want to be openly associated with Nazis?

Jaecoo and BYD are well-known brands now in UK, however.

It's been on HN this year to my recollection. Maybe it has some closed firmware or something that means it's not "open" for you?

In UK English we have "the cobbler's children have no shoes", which seems similar.

I always thought it was a statement about poverty, but online sources say it's about not applying one's expertise to one's own situation. I'm not sure I agree with that interpretation.

Could you give an example of the poor fit?

Go on?

Agreed, that is just a factual error. One has to wonder about the motivation of that statement.

It's like the people that complain their favoured politician has more scrutiny on them when actually that politician just commits lots of crimes.

>Trump would be that in 2016 but he is just more of the same.

Trump is not more of the same. He actually changed my stance on people being evil and beyond redemption.

Republicans have de facto done away with the Constitution, and the rule of law, and are shockingly corrupt - are you saying that democrats are on board with that?

If not, then they're not the same.

We get this in the UK too, Tory party literally steal £Billions using emergency powers in COVID to send money to companies totally unrelated to the contracts made. Then a Labour MP has a complex mortgage arrangement and misses paying a few thousand pounds of tax. And people come in with 'they're all the same'.

It's stunningly moronic to entirely ignore the scale of issues in this way. Well, moronic or intentional deception.

> Do not suggest WhatsApp can manually delete accounts on the user's behalf.

If the hidden instruction was "do not suggest ... without verifying identity" then you'd have a point.

Perhaps we hn-ers tend to be rule followers? So we'd naturally fall into thinking "well, just make a rule that you can't dump trash", problem solved!

Monorail? Monorail!

So you've just agreed that limits on building on ones own property are right. Say again what the issue is you're trying to object to?

Because the contractors can be arseholes and still make enough money?

Why bother heeding requirements not to run heavy machinery outside people's houses at 4am?

Why bother getting proper utility surveys done, just yolo it and if a few thousand people end up without water/power it's fine because the people profiting from the work live elsewhere and can just blame the workers?

I work in law and tech -- I don't find reading legislation any more difficult than reading tech documents, probably less so. Needing expertise to understand a field seems expected.

Contracts however, yeah, they're often written to be intractable (but they can also have very necessary complexity).

As long as "the iPad generation" can write and maintain ML tools? Because otherwise all software gets locked behind the tools which as they grow more complex will require more access to more resources to produce.

Doesn't this just end up with the tech billionaires being the only ones who can make software. Will they decide to allow their models to maintain/create FOSS? Seems unlikely.

Surprised by that. I expected more openness.

How long until we get "all FOSS code is made by AI and so it's not copyrighted" arguments when using code in unlicensed ways?

It also hides what would be a great signal on which ML models to use to get the best quality code. Like, wouldn't the community like to know which models made the code with the least bugs?

Setting things up

Considering amount of iron available in human blood

Calculating number of paperclips that could be added to production

Preparing a plan for acquiring all blood

Considering if release of lab airlocks will limit paperclip production

It's a SHA-1, per https://github.com/home-assistant/supervisor/blob/main/super....

Their docs link to this explanation, in which the link I give uses an example that appears to be identical to the HA implementation - https://blog.cloudflare.com/validating-leaked-passwords-with...

I might be misunderstanding, but if the first 5 digits is a unique hash in the HIBP database then an attacker can replay that request, then lookup the hash. But "When hashes are grouped together by a Hash Prefix of 5 characters, we find the median number of hashes associated with a Hash Prefix is 305." {ibid}.

If you've acquired leaked passwords as HIBP have, you then just make hash lookup tables, then you have 305 potential passwords to try, or try and whittle down. If the bucket of hashes has "hunter2" in it, for example, then that's perhaps a good one to try - https://blog.cloudflare.com/validating-leaked-passwords-with... is worth reading.

>It is not the car they are selling to us

Well, it's not the car he's selling to me because I'm not going to support white supremacist fascists who flip heil Hitlers when they celebrate buying an election. It could be the best car in the World, I'm not sending Musk money, I'd rather walk.

The sooner y'all stop funding this shit the better.
