Virtual console and the NES classic are legally copied software played on authorized hardware, so it's not the same thing as what they've vivified. If you stuff illegally copied roms onto your mini NES, they're not really going to be happy either - I don't see how this is hypocritical.

This seems to be a legitimization of a report that has all the hallmarks of crackpot conspiracy theory -- the report compiler is not an independent researcher on the subject, but is allegedly the target of the action that is the subject of the report. The official investigation into the issues raised was cancelled because he refused to actually provide the details to the investigating authority, etc.

No, legal derivative works can only be made with the authorization of the copyright holder[1]. The question was specifically about an unauthorized derivation.

Creating any unauthorized derivative work is illegal and thus ineligible for copyright protection, including the preparation of unauthorized translations (other than under fair use exemptions such as for news reporting, research, or scholarly purposes).[2]

I agree. But on that note: how many parents and doctors are fully informing the recipients, e.g.:

"There are 40+ strains of HPV. About a dozen have been demonstrated to cause cancer. This vaccine, if properly applied, will protect you against exactly two of them."

I've read quotes from maybe 40 parents who have had their kids vaccinated and commented on it; every one came away with the idea that their kids were protected against HPV, period.

I agree. The problem is also that most people who are running SMB aren't experts at growing their data model. Over time, the owner needs new objects (rows, columns, sheets, etc.) and new things that need calculated and tracked BUT they also need to associate these new things to the old things. They are not going to be able to renormalize the data model (they don't know they have). They make new sheets or Excel files and do the best they can. It is flexible and can do whatever they want but that doesn't make it more efficient. I don't think that most of these people need new or custom software. They need someone to come in once a year and help them re-optimize their processes against the new reality. Excel might be enough but there has to be an investment in making that an efficient tool.

This reminded me to donate.

A lot of people in Trump's camp relentlessly defends the 2nd Amendment, but in my opinion, that is just a purposeful distraction to the real weapon we should be defending: a free and open internet.

Why do you have to only use 140 chars? Frankly the "old web" is still there. You're just as free to create whatever you like using HTML and CSS and host it anywhere that works for you. In fact it's gotten easier: browsers are more consistent, CSS is getting more powerful, and there are a myriad static hosting options these days.

So go build something creative! ..and then share the hyperlink in some 140 char social network.

I agree, but "informing" them without fully informing them (see below) is the risk vector.
As I understand it, there are two different issues, copyright in the derivative work, and legality of the act of creating the derivative work.

Copyright of a derivative work that itself meets the standard for copyrightability rests with the creator of the derivative, because, under law, any copyrightable work has a copyright that belongs to the creator at the moment it is created.

A derivative created without proper permission is also a violation of the copyright of the original, but that's a separate issue.
Frankly, I don't think Little Snitch is usable because of this. And no, a lookup tool is not good enough. For a paid program, I would expect them to maintain a list of the "required/acceptable" connections and "unnecessary" connections for popular programs, and automate the process of approval for each app.

Perfect example: Spotify is impossible to manually whitelist without spending well over an hour accepting or denying each of the exhaustingly large number of domains it touches. I bet that nearly every user simply gives up and whitelists the entire application, which defeats the purpose of paying for and installing an app like Little Snitch in the first place.

Little Snitch should be doing that work up front for its users. One person on their end spends a day or two figuring it out for an app, and saves tens of thousands of user hours having to individually perform that task. No anti-virus out there alerts a user to every filesystem read and write - they maintain databases of known threats. The same should be true for this kind of software.

Yes, it would require constant maintenance on their part. If they needed to up the price to make such a strategy viable, so be it. As it stands, I uninstalled out of frustration after using the demo for 6 hours. The alerts and interruptions never stop.

>The framework then takes these shaders and your 3D data, performs some magic, ...

If we juxtapose that statement with the following in an unrelated introduction[0]:

'WebGL is often thought of as a 3D API. People think "I'll use WebGL and magic I'll get cool 3d". In reality WebGL is just a rasterization engine.'

I suppose when you're writing a software renderer from scratch without the luxury of any API or hardware acceleration, such things are indeed magic.

I'm seeing a lot of hate for spreadsheets here.

First, to state the obvious: in the time your least-favourite Excel sheet took to grow from simple time-saver to sprawling Cthuloid monster, it has probably saved multiple person-years of effort. You could spend the next six months rebuilding it all "properly", and it's still comically positive ROI.

Spreadsheets are also a unique, top-level category in computing as a whole. By my count, there have only ever been three schemes of interaction with computers (with any significant adoption):

1. Shrink-wrap. Use the software you've been given. Read the manual; that's what it does, no more.

2. Programming language. It's text, it's got syntax, it's got the same basic constructs as any other programming language. You know they're all the same, because once you know a few languages, you can start using a new one in an hour or two.

3. Spreadsheets. Visual interaction, scaling smoothly from "simple calculator" to "this is the backbone of our whole business".

Spreadsheets really are that fundamental a discovery in the field of computing. Give them some love.

According to an update to the Techcrunch article, The Guardian has offered Zeynep a chance to write a rebuttal.

I'm very confident in the donation/supporter model. Once we stop needing to upgrade our infrastructure, it should grow faster than expenses.

I can be high and mighty about this, but legally Neocities is a public benefit LLC, so it is infact a private business operating on a freemium model.

I've pondered arranging Neocities as a nonprofit, but unfortunately that would add a ton of paperwork, costs, and bureaucracy. All I would really get in return is the option to roll the dice a couple times on some temp grants. Not sure it's worth it.

As for VC, I have good friends in VC, but I'm not really interested and nobody's ever offered. IMHO there's insufficient demand to justify 10x growth companies here. There's some people doing business/developer focused static hosting VC startups, but again, lots of competition and insufficient demand. Most of them have ended up as talent acquisitions, and the sites they hosted shut down. We've outlived most of them with the supporter/donation model.
The search doesn't happen on the server. The client (e.g. desktop client) indexes the messages and encrypts the index. Then, when another client (e.g. mobile client) wants to search for a message, it downloads the index, searches it, and then pulls down the appropriate message(s).

It can. You want to dress for the impression you want to make. For Wall St. financial types you probably do want to dress like a banker, since what they're really looking for is professionalism and reliability.

I'll challenge this statement. I stopped shaving, ironing, and wearing more than many duplicates of one outfit explicitly so I could get serious about my work. Time is my most valuable commodity, and I intend to use every moment I have attacking problems I care about. I like to think that I don't look like a slob, but by the qualities you cited, you would disqualify me off the bat, and given the rocks I've moved in my industry tenure, that would have been an absolutely misaligned signal and you would have lost out.

Everything is about image _in some professions_ and _in some eras_. I will certainly stand on the side of trying to change that through my own actions, and given that the peers and mentors I most respect have similarly chosen to discard traditional models of image, I find myself in company I'm quite comfortable with.

(And as sister posts have cited, the sheer existence of successful sites like CL, Enom, and HackerNews (which for all its minimalism and polish is by no means a "modern image"; I say this with nothing but pride to be very clear) indicates to me that even in site design image may be a cost function but is no substitute for quality. I have had clients JUMP at products that as you say, look like they're from the 90s, because they solved _real issues_ that they needed solved.)

Thank you!
In my opinion yes, the medical hardware industry absolutely is milking their customer base. In ultrasound systems for example, you buy the machine equipped with the basic software at an already prohibitive price. After that, if you want to go beyond the basics, for example have the UI for cardiac measurements, you buy supplementary modules which are also very expensive although they are by now standard and well-known.
I also think that the healthcare system does not lend itself too well to aggressive management models. It does not improve things to try to get people as efficient as possible in the management sense. For example, I think patients are far better off if nurses are let free to do their jobs and tend to the patients instead of imposing too much control on them. Now of course, there are financial imperatives, and technology could provide solutions to maintain/improve care while diminishing the staff numbers/costs. That is my opinion as a practicing clinician. Others may think differently.
> How slow would this be with thousands of emails on a mobile device ?

Not that much slower than email is now. A B+tree index of (for example) 1 gb of total content and index is only about 1-2 gigs in size. You could just store that shit on your phone encrypted. Or 1-5 megs of index on your phone, with 2 round-trips for any email/first page search result per word.

> What happens if this password got into the wrong hands or even lost? Is it possible to change? Must I re-encrypt every single email ?

Overall yes, re-encryption is necessary. But that can be a batch process done while your phone is charging and on wifi over night. Is a drawback, but re-keying always is. But just because you got to change the keys every once in a while, doesn't mean you toss the locks.

> Some kind of high level control will be needed

Here's were all your reasoning is flawed. You're advocating for a tyrant, or a central authority like, guess where/when: Venezuela or Soviet Russia. This has been attempted, and failed, several times before. We're not talking about Python, or the Linux kernel, in which their respective dictators don't even have that much say any more. We're talking about full societies here. And bunch of intelligent people, best case, can't direct full economies.

There's nothing more decentralized and self correcting than capitalist free markets. And, yes, with appropriate regulations. Quoting, don't faint, Hayek

The successful use of competition does not preclude some types
of government interference. For instance, to limit working hours,
to require certain sanitary arrangements, to provide an extensive
system of social services is fully compatible with the preservation
of competition. There are, too, certain fields where the system of
competition is impracticable. For example, the harmful effects of
deforestation or of the smoke of factories cannot be confined to the
owner of the property in question. But the fact that we have to resort
to direct regulation by authority where the conditions for the proper
working of competition cannot be created does not prove that we
should suppress competition where it can be made to function.

The biggest problem with Nate Silver was that he was a victim of fake news. He got caught up in the fake news, believing that Trump have no chance.

Anybody who actually went to a Trump rally would see with their own eyes, that what Trump said was totally different from what the TVs claimed he said. They could see that the whole media was lying about Trump.

If Nate Silver had went to just one Trump rally, he would have seen that too, and he would have known that Trump was going to win. Would have been able to tweak his data set, and would have made a better prediction.
