This is technically true, but not helpful. These online services have buttons that say "rent" and "buy", they don't say "rent for a little while" and "rent for a longer but unknown amount of time". Of course they can go out of business, but the impression they intentionally give to the customer is that if you click "buy", you get access to the movie for as long as the site exists.

Not unless your noise is louder at certain dominant frequencies than the source. The article gives examples, but the algorithm basically throws away everything except frequency peaks, in order to make the lookups faster.

Don't be silly. There's a third option, neither side gives up for a while.

> the link only becomes clickable if you hold down a modifier key.

Fun trick not a lot of people know -

In a web browser, links which are normally clickable become UN-clickable if you hold a modifier. On a mac, it's (option). It's helpful if you want to select text inside a large link (or in a button) so you can copy it.

lol, that's the stupidest thing that I've ever watched all the way through with a grin the whole time.

Why would they film a demo video of it spewing out barely-coherent rambling repetitive drivel? If your model sucks at writing essays, maybe just tell us that, and film a demo of it doing something it IS good at?

> even just two dots above the USB3 and two dots above the USB2 wouldn't be rude.

But then they'd look the same! :-P You're reminding me of the old story about the leprechaun, commanded not to tamper with a marker over the location of his buried gold, nor to move the gold, instead filled the entire forest with identical markers.

I guess that makes sense. Thanks.

It's a dumb law, but, devil's advocate - isn't that how porn shops work? And porn shops also sell some non-porn items, too.

I chuckled, but presumably it's useful for applications where you want data types to take up the same amount of space, like for matrices or database columns? Or maybe where you coerce different data types into boolean? The language offers WordBool and ByteBool too, so they're pretty consistent. And AFAIK, there aren't any languages where you can specifically allocate only a single bit for a single boolean.

"But what if black people really _are_ subhuman?" No thanks. Not biting. I disagree, but arguing that topic just makes me sad and angry, and I've never changed a racist's mind.

Although... he did rather famously have a thing for underage girls...

holy racist dogwhistle, batman.

chimpanzees are animals, and the only people who think differently are the straw men in the imaginations of people I prefer not to spend time talking to.

her followup post:

Deleted my post, which I published before Ruby central released their blog explaining things.

It’s ultimately not my place to say or speculate about what’s going on.

It’s obviously a disastrously bad roll out or whatever is happening and I hope they are able to make things right w the community.

Try looking at the giraffe's recurrent laryngeal nerve. What isn't beneficial is sometimes retained as long as the cost isn't bad enough to impair reproduction.

> and then sort out everyone's status after the fact.

Did they do that? Or did they throw out the ones with valid visas too? (hint: It was the latter. Details are in the article.)

The bigger problem is that they "invalidate" your visa post-facto, on a whim, for whatever they want. Attend a political protest? Have a 20 year old bad check on your record despite having lived here for 50 years, since you were a young child? Embarrass a politician? I've seen all of those and more result in a legal immigrant having their visas cancelled and then thrown in jail until they can be deported.
