In the US copyright just requires a level of originality. The bar isn't very high, but for example simple logos, like IBMs blue lines logo is not copyrightable.
There are examples of software code that is probably not copyrightable, but that's limited to very simple code that has only obvious implementations.
I believe the RTL in RTL-SDR is "Realtek Limited", the manufacturer of the chips used in the early days of SDR. I don't think the chips these days are exclusively Realtek, but the name has persisted.
For clarity, they're requiring apps to be signed by a verified developer on certified Android devices. You can still side load, but the verification is still required for the side loaded apps.
Future HN headline: Pam Bondi orders Google to revoke verification status and code signing certificates of authors of {partisan/politically-unfavourable Android app}
It's 100k a year. H1B are normally valid for 3 years, so that's where the 300k comes from. The $1M figure is for the "Trump Gold Card" visa, which is unrelated to the H1B program.
I think the E.O wording says a 100K for an appliciant to enter the lottery and they'd hold that money I am assuming until you won, what happens if you don't win unclear? But I think this is all horrible law making. E.O. are not effective leadership or law building because its so underspecified and rush and haphazard. Its a shame that we can't have a sensible immigrantion reform and it is behavior like this that makes me feel republicans simply don't care about immigrantion reform just vibes. How they are doing it is simply unserious and punitive but short sighted.
This is simply going to push people away from coming to the US and we will see more and more robust tech competition with laws like this. Like them or hate them H1B visas are a major brain drain on all of the nations the US wants to compete with which is good for us not bad. Tech workers are not hurting in the salary department.
Please stop spreading the unsubstantiated rumor that it's 100K a year. It's not. It's for the lifetime of the visa which is 3-6 years, potentially longer, subject to employment.
This unsubstantiated rumor coming from......the Secretary of Commerce?
"Reuters was not immediately able to establish how the fee would be administered. Lutnick said the visa would cost $100,000 a year for each of the three years of its duration but that the details were "still being considered.""
"Lutnick said on Friday that "all the big companies are on board" with $100,000 a year for H-1B visas.
"We've spoken to them," he said."
It's not what the official announcement from the White House said. The official announcement from the White House has made it seem that the $100K fee applies for the full duration of the visa. This number is chump change for a 3+3=6 year visa.
I don't know why I was downvoted since what I said is the truth, and it checks out as per the announcements from the White House. The forces of disinformation are strong.
As far as this administration is concerned, lawful immigrants aren't citizens, and due process is what they say it is. Til SCOTUS nuts up, that won't change.
Do you have a source for that because MAI Systems Corp. v. Peak Computer, Inc established that even creating a copy in RAM is considered a "copy" under the Copyright Act and can be infringement.
It's not an issue of where it's being copied, it's who's doing the copying.
Library Genesis has one copy. It then sends you one copy and keeps it's own. The entity that violated the _copy_right is the one that copied it, not the one with the copy.
There are many copies made as the text travels from Library Genesis to Anthropic. This isn't just of theoretical interest. English law has specific copyright exemptions for transient copies made by internet routers, etc. It doesn't have exemptions for the transient copies made by end users such as Anthropic, and they are definitely infringing.
Of course, American law is different. But is it the case that copies made for the purpose of using illegally obtained works are not infringing?
> But is it the case that copies made for the purpose of using illegally obtained works are not infringing?
Well, the question here is "who made the copy?"
If you advertise in seedy locations that you will send Xeroxed copies of books by mail order, and I order one, and you then send me the copy I ordered, how many of us have committed a copyright violation?
Copyright law is literally about the copies. A xeroxed book is exactly one copy. Mailing and reading that book doesn't copy it any further. In contrast, you can't do anything with digital media without making another copy.
> "Who made the copy?"
This begs the question. With digital media everybody involved makes multiple copies.
Quadlets also support a .kube file. I have a similar use case where I have 6 containers I want to all run on the same network. So have a k8s YAML file that has a pod with the containers, their configuration and path mapping and then a have a `service.kube` file with a '[Kube]' section and a 'Yaml=/path/to/config.yaml' directive. That creates a single service to stop/start with systemd and has all the containers running on the same network in a single pod.
> Though neither python nor rust have such a nice `.split(None)` built in.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what `.split(None)` would do? My initial instinct is that would would return each character. i.e. `.chars()` in Rust or `list(s)` in Python.
>Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what `.split(None)` would do?
Reading the docs [0] it seems `.split(None)` returns an array of the indivual characters without whitespace - so something like [c in list(s) if not whitespace(c)]
It was intended to split a list of `int|None` into its non-none stretches. Much like how `string.split('x')` splits a string by matching the character 'x'
Gotcha! In python there is a `split_at` function for this in the more-itertools package, but I don't think there is a concise way to do it in the stdlib.
> If they arrange financing but don't hold the loans themselves, they get paid without assuming any risk, yes?
Yes, that's correct. It's typically how investment banks operate, their main business is facilitating transactions. They'll turn around and sell the loans to hedge funds and private investors.
This obviously mean they have incentive to encourage buildouts and to downplay the risks of the loans.
