Maybe it leaks in the form of accessible online video streams for sports. I didn't watch the 2016 Olympics because I don't use TV any more. I suppose that, just like me, many are going to become indifferent to streaming sports. So sports teams have to pick between strangling sport video to death on TV or releasing it on the internet.

But, you know what? It is a wealth of content out there, if a publisher or a whole category of publishers are jealous and want to sit on their content instead of releasing it, I will find something else more accessible and rewarding to spend my time on. I am consuming mostly user generated content at this stage, anyway, so losing big corp content wouldn't affect me that much.

A similar tragedy of content sharing is happening with the BBC radio and TV archives. They clock 1 million hours of content between them yet, on account of copyright considerations, it can't be shared online. In the meantime YT is filled with cat videos and the wonderful BBC content doesn't get commented on, shared, tweeted, indexed and found by anyone. It suffers a digital death of being unlinked to the web. Instead of an amazing recording of a symphony from BBC Proms, people open YT and play the same piece shared by the Student Orchestra of Bucharest or something. Too bad for great content that it gets to live in a locked box.
"Snowcrash" is the more realistic Neal Stephenson version where it gets at the eye-brain-embedded hardware. And of course the original, "the joke so funny that if read or heard would make you laugh yourself to death".

Humans seem really good at being imprevious to these, due to millions of years of ignoring things..
The great famine of 1876 [1] in Bengal is a possible example. I'm not very familiar with it, but it seems that exports of grains were at an all time high while an estimated 5.5 million people starved to death. Grains were allocated to maximise revenue, and feeding the poor was not the most lucrative option. Of course reality is more complicated than this short paragraph, but this tragedy doesn't reflect well on laissez-faire...

While I agree with the author's points, I don't think we need another post to praise Vue.js. The merits of Vue.js are quite evident, even if you have watched just a few minutes of some video tutorials (https://laracasts.com/series/learning-vue-step-by-step). As a newbie to front-end development, I'm more interested to know how Vue.js measures with other light-weight alternatives --- in particular Mithril --- which take different approaches. I would like someone with rich experiences to analyse the relative merits/drawbacks of them, such as the pros and cons of using template language against pure JavaScript. Unfortunately, this kind of analyses are very rare on the internet. The official website of Mithril has listed some advantages of Mithril (e.g. easier debugging), but I really want to hear a second opinion.
> And ofc there's a big push for frameworks and languages over libraries, and libraries get coupled to frameworks

I don't see any evidence of this. If anything, the source of most people's complaints is that the JavaScript community heavily prefers libraries over frameworks, which means you need to pick several libraries to build a project instead of

Are you sure you have any clue what you're talking about? I regularly "upgrade" parts of my stack without changing "everything." It's a huge part of why libraries like React are awesome.
> Ah, the ambiguities of the english language! You are talking about the original code, whereas I am talking about the derived work.

Right, but when talking about freedoms regarding a specific work, the derivative works aren't really relevant, since my (as an end user) freedom to use/modify/redistribute/etc. the original work remains unhindered.

Likewise, my choice to release software under an MIT-like license does not in and of itself detract from end users' freedom; what downstream projects do with my code is not my concern so long as my in-code copyright notices are maintained. For all I know, my code is being used in projects with GPL or MPL or CDDL or Artistic License 2.0 or BSD-style or Apache or what have you licensing terms.

> the roles can be mutually exclusive.

That's not what "mutually exclusive" means. "Mutually exclusive" means that you can either be an end user or a publisher - never both. The whole philosophy behind FOSS dictates the precise opposite of mutual exclusion; the "Four Freedoms" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition) make this very clear.

Sure, you might happen to be one or the other, but the point is that free software empowers you to be both at the same time. By restricting one's freedom as a "publisher" (as you say), you're inherently restricting one's freedom as an "end user".

I would look at adding SCSS to your workflow. It makes writing maintainable stylesheets much easier. The two biggest wins from using SCSS, in my opinion, are the variables and the ability to nest selectors.

The node-sass package (on NPM) comes with a command line tool, so you don't even need to add a separate build tool.

I have an NPM script that executes:

node-sass -w styles/app.scss -o dist/

The -w flag tells the tool to stay in "watch" mode, such that it will auto recompile your SCSS code into CSS whenever a change is made.
So if you make an effort to correct mistakes due to your dyslexia it actually means you plagiarized your work?

Given that this is from the CEO of a public company, it does not reflect well on WIX. CEOs set the tone for the rest of the company. Mr. Abrahami should have had the issue investigated and if what Wordpress says is true (and it looks like it it), apologize and take corrective action. That probably means removing the mobile app from the App Store while they rewrite parts of the app. Or they can release the source code. There really aren't other options.

I've worked with and for several large software companies. They have all taken GPL licenses very seriously. Mistakes can occur but GPL is not something they trivialize.
So at best 1% of the slaves had "motivating" circumstance, opportunity and agency. Probably far far less.

The spec [1] is a long read, but interesting. Misc. stuff that's not well known:

- The 24 pin connector does not have symmetrical connections. The interface IC senses which way it is plugged in.

- It's still a master/slave system, but either side can be the USB master or the power master. Those need not be the same.

- Who powers whom is an interesting issue. It's up to the OS to decide. There's special support for the dead-battery case - what happens when you plug something with a dead battery into something else? Can you charge your phone from your laptop? Laptop from phone? Tablet from laptop? Phone from phone? It's complicated.

- There's something called the "billboard device", which is the interface IC's mechanism for sending error messages when both ends are not in agreement about modes. The devices at each end are supposed to display this information. Hopefully they do. At least the designers thought about this.

- Hubs are more restrictive. They don't pass through much more than USB mode and power. They don't pass any of the more exotic modes, like HDMI, since those are not multipoint protocols. It is supposed to be possible to pass power upstream through a hub, though.

- Anything with a female USB-C connector has to talk USB-C. It is prohibited to have cables with a female USB-C on one end and some other USB connector on the the other. Male USB-C to other USB is permitted, and will provide backwards compatibility.

- There are extensions defined for "proprietary charging methods" to allow higher current levels. (I wonder who wanted that?)

- There's a mode called "Debug Accessory Mode". This is totally different than normal operation and requires a special cable as a security measure. (In a regular cable, pins A5 and B5 are connected together and there's only one wire in the cable for them. Debug Test devices use a cable where pins A5 and B5 have their own wires and there's a voltage difference between them.) Debug Accessory Mode, once entered, is vendor-specific. It may include JTAG low-level hardware access. Look for exploits based on this. If you find an public charger with an attached USB-C cable, worry. Always use your own cable.

That's the state of the computing industry. 80% of the continuing education is about learning to do what you already knew how to do in a newer, hotter stack (but not necessarily better). 20% is about learning new paradigms. And I'm being too generous. It's probably about 5%.

Suddenly being a medical doctor sounds much less stressful. I really feel some of us chose the wrong career path. Imagine having high social status, having almost always some meaningful work, all for debugging meat machines that have lots of failure modes, but most of them well understood?
It's definitely an extreme position to take.

A lot of people on HN seem to confuse the introduction of new tools with a necessity for you to constantly rewrite your app. There's nothing saying you need to adopt the new tools as soon as they come out.

Personally, I like to give things a good while to work out the kinks and see if they're actually any good (Bower failed this test, for example, so I've never used it). In the meantime, my "old" tools still work fine. Despite all the talk of churn, the last time I actually added a new major tool to my stack was GraphQL this spring.
I've tried every non-chemical method that I could find, and The Spoon Method is the most foolproof method to peel eggs, soft boiled or hard, cold or warm, old or new. All it takes is about five practice eggs and you should have it down. It's insanely easy, quick, and effective: you get a spoon, crack the egg, and work the spoon up under the shell by pointing the end of the spoon at the shell, so it pushes up and cracks the shell, and only the bottom curved part of the spoon comes in contact with the white, briefly. You can take the entire shell off in one go. There is no cooked egg that it hasn't worked on for me. YMMV

> What's funny to me is that I have several neighbors who fervently describe themselves as pro-capitalist libertarians. Yet, when I'm out of coffee or I need my driveway plowed, they do it for free. Why is that? Probably because we are all friends and have common culture and mutual trust.

Even if there is no money involved, you may repay such favors in the future when they ask you. So it's more like borrowing a favor.

> why can't we all have a society where we all act as neighbors

Why can't we have that within capitalism? What does "act as neighbor" even mean? Does it helping one another for free? That already occurs for small tasks.
> What makes you believe this? Many people, myself included (and I write software), think software people would not be so great at this, because society isn't code. Social and emotional intelligence are critical.

I think there are in general 3 areas of information that are useful when contributing to the development of a societal system. Those being:

* Research (History / modern economic research)

* The Cutting Edge (Technology / modern business, project and team management / open source model)

* Domain Knowledge (Specific and detailed knowledge of a particular domain)

Software people have 2 of the 3. Plus they can collaborate easily using the open source model. I think wikipedia is proof that great things can be done without requiring "experts" with a great collaboration model.

I also think that a lot of economics is not relevant if you are going for a "no free enterprise" based system.

No one is perfect and we aren't free from bias. However, a big part of our jobs is choosing between options eg. technologies. We strive to diminish our egos and bias to make good choices. I think this attribute is very useful for the topic of societal systems which tends to be extremely polarizing (eg. https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/).

It's a bit odd to compare the MacBook Pro's keyboard to a mechanical keyboard. I mean, mechanical keyboards are great, but laptops with mechanical keyboards are almost nonexistent due to the extreme bulk required. Sure, there are many laptops with far more key travel than Apple's latest offerings, but it's not fair to hold them up to that standard...
A common mistake back in the early days of Ethernet was to wire them as four sequential pairs, instead of the required (1-2) (3-6) (4-5) (7-8). This worked most of the time on 10BaseT networks, but would get flakey at 100Mbit.

If they got the pairs wrong at the wall jacks, there's not much you can do without repatching the whole thing. If they realized that they could make short cables that fixed it so that the pairs were mapped properly to port pins, that's quite clever in my books!

From what I recall when it was in the news, the camera does control the LED, but it's just a USB camera on the USB bus, so the demo attack worked by reflashing the software on the camera.
I concur. Not to mention, this code wouldn't pass the automatic static analysis we use for all commits to our repository, so it literally would never come up as is. We turn on "warnings are errors" and turn on most warnings. I literally wouldn't think this code could compile (or at least get committed) as written, so would assume there was stuff missing for the sake of brevity.

Tips for Renting Out Your Dubai Villa
It isn't so much the inequality itself is bad, but rather having distinct groups that compete with each other. (Group inequality is an inevitable outcome of this but not the root issue). Group competition is bad simply because it is less efficient if your goal is for the maximum good for all people.

Say you have a valley and two tribes in it. If they fight for control of the valley they are expending resources in that competition. If they merge into one tribe then all resources can be spent on the good of all people.

https://opensocialism.com/open-socialism/arguments/the-free-... goes into these negatives in regards to capitalism.

Of course then there is the argument of 'but you can't get everyone to work together in the one group!' but with modern technology I think this is a solvable problem.
I get the obsession this guy has with keyboards. It may be a pretentious luxury problem, but if we didn't have those, we'd have a problem...

But I don't get the 5000-word Apple-rant of an introduction. It's not that he's found a notebook with an excellent mechanical keyboard – it's just an external one. Now if you need a keyboard that probably costs 200$, and is actually thicker than most notebooks of any kind, and you have to attach it to /some/ computer anyway, then Apple just doesn't seem part of the equation.

Keyboard enthusiasts should be singing Apple's praises right now. Not because their new keyboards are great (haven't tried) but they've put it on the agenda in the first place. Just like the retina Macbook made everyone scramble for high-dpi displays (now followed by wide-gamut displays).
We'll almost certainly see all those things shrink to USB-C size.

iPad sales, while declining, is now double that of Mac.
I thought this was clear enough, consumers aren't even touching their PC anymore, at least that is where the trend is heading. The iPad, at those price point has taken over the cheaper segment what 11" Macbook Air was originally for.
So what Apple envisioned, is that anyone using a PC or Mac is either a prosumer or professionals.

And just like many other tech, Apple force their way in and make early steps for changes, Floppy, CD-ROM etc. No SCSI for iMac? Apple wanted everyone, or will force every USB to be USB-C type.
