> rights for content creators

I scratch my head when I hear talk of this, because the past century and a half has been a steady march in western economy and politics against rights for the original creators of wealth and content. Negligible rights for the original creators of wealth and content are the economic (and political and social) basis of the USA, and western Europe, and now the world. The only people who've talked like this have been communists, and I suppose anarchists.

I mean this is obvious on the face of it. Who has all the rights in writing at a small startup, the angels and VCs, or the first hire? Before the first hire even comes on board, their first act will be to sign a paper giving away what little rights they had to the content they will be creating.

Mainstream economic thought, from left Keynesianism to right wing schools say commodities are given value by their marginal utility ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_theory_of_value ). Your idea that creation or labor from creation has some moral value is an idea only espoused in the last century by communists ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_theory_of_value ).

It's not just you, I've seen the RIAA and MPAA make similar arguments, and I shake my head, because they're making the same arguments Lenin and Stalin made. By that I mean with regards to the words like "creator" and mention of the work done to create the content. Not that I make a judgement either way, but it seems to pass without notice how extremely radical your claim is, as it is economically way to the left of say, Paul Krugman's New York Times columns.

The strange thing is that these old Marxist arguments are trotted out about something that is no longer not exactly a commodity. Because commodities are produced, and basically used once, whereas this content is created, and with the push of a button, at costs approaching free, it can be duplicated and distributed one billion times. So in some senses it is no longer a commodity. So just as it loses the properties of a commodity, these old arguments from 150 years ago about commodities come back.
Why is it unfair? Those companies presumably charge for their software, and maybe will be incentivised to go open source.
These things don't matter and the airlines know it. People will continue to fly. I guarantee that a year from now if United is the most convenient flight to a place that guy needs to go, he will fly United.

We simply aren't in the "free market competition" will fix it zone with air travel. I hate air travel and do everything I can to avoid it for work. Most people think I'm crazy. Why wouldn't you jump at the chance to fly to an obscure town in India on the company dime!?!?!?

So do not expect this to affect anything unless the government gets involved

We must first understand the reality of a problem before we can begin to address it. Redefining "suffering" and "mental illness" to be completely fluid ideas that depend on who you ask moves us farther from the objective of helping people, in my opinion.

I don't think we can redefine "suffering" to be a state of spiritual exaltation and pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. You are excusing a departure from the progress we've made in understanding the human mind because: not everything is falsifiable, so may as well throw rigor out the window?
> suggesting rights for content creators

Unfortunately this is pretty much a zero-sum game: this means taking rights off other people, potentially including huge fines or jail time.

And lots of people feel that they have no voice in whether their rights get taken away - and not just the "right to run a piracy website", but the right to repair their tractors, rip MP3s, have open-source software and so on. The heavy-handedness of the copyright industry has made a lot of permanent enemies.

Haskell is a pretty large language, and (IIRC) the first step in GHC compilation is converting Haskell into Core, which is basically a tiny subset of the language.

Parsing the language isn't a very interesting research problem, and more work than it's worth, so Intel have chosen to instead use GHC's frontend to generate Core code, and then consume Core for their compiler backend.

Oooh the good old democratic myth. Perhaps Carlin was right all along (which he usually is): "Inside every cynical person is a disappointed idealist".

Sunde was one of my heroes growing up in Sweden when I was a socialist and believed in the collective's ability to fight for the sake of what is deemed as "good". But, like every child, I had to eventually grow up and realize that most things are about trade-offs in this world - which is far better of a deal than most think it is.

> "I'm a socialist. I know Marx and communism did not work before, but I think in the future you have the possibility of having total communism and equal access to everything for everybody."

I realize now, looking back at the ideas Sunde holds and in turns the ideas that I held for a long time, that I was naive. Sunde, like everyone else in that camp fails to realize what is right in front of their eyes. Capitalism will not self-destruct. Socialism prevented capitalism from self-destructing and instead empowered it by showing everyone that capitalism, with all its flaws and disgusting habits, is the only system that is able to empower and uplift more people from poverty than all other systems COMBINED.

I understand his position yet I can't help but facepalm every time I hear someone say "equal access to everything for everybody". This statement is perhaps, one of the stupidest things that have EVER been uttered by a human yet it is something that I used to deeply believe in.

Makes me kidna wonder where I would be today had I kept believing in fairy tales...

I generally agree. But I do have some doubts as to how copyleft licensing would work without copyright protection. We can't enforce free licensing of contributions to GPL works, for example, without having the copyright in the first place.

I don't think it is ideal to protect copyrights for such a lengthy term. But simply reducing copyright terms to a shorter one, like 7 years, could be problematic -- unless we simultaneously enact a new legal obligation to make software works derived from free software available to the public under similarly free terms.
I remember a line from a Harold Bloom book (don't ask me which one), something along the lines of "The Rabbis say the names of the angels came from Babylon-- I suspect more than the names came from Babylon."

He was intimating that the idea of angels as divine-but-not-deities God's helpers was "imported" into Judaism during the time of exile in Babylon.

What was your answer to the hiring manager? How about:

"[buzzword] systems need lots of training data. To process that data quickly, systems must parallelize and distribute computation. Concurrent queues are a basic building block in parallel and distributed systems. They are used both internally in [buzzword] systems and directly by engineers building ingest pipelines and serving systems. Engineers need to know the trade-offs of different concurrent queue implementations to avoid introducing unnecessary bottlenecks in [buzzword] systems."

> Specifically that the FAA is likely to clamp down on "Uber Air Taxi" market and declare them common carriers.

The FAA has some really arcane rules, which is why aviation law is an actual speciality. Like, for instance, as a private pilot I can't fly a coworker with me to a conference and be reimbursed by my employer, but I can fly just myself and be reimbursed. There's a lot of subtleties to the FARs.

But if you're talking about private pilots flying people around like Uber drivers do, I can understand why they would clamp down on that.

Commercial and Air Transport pilots have much more rigorous standards than private pilots do, including stricter medical requirements and more thorough yearly medical exams. Private pilots will soon be able to get by with just an annual physical at a family doctor after their initial medical, whereas ATPs have to have a yearly EKG done, for instance. There's also more thorough training, higher hour requirements, etc.

Basically, people and equipment flying passengers are held to the highest standards (sometimes, maybe too high) which is one reason commercial aviation is so safe, and the FAA does not want private pilots who may not meet those standards running underground, fly-by-night airlines. All it takes is one crash wiping out a family in an "uber air taxi," and maybe a few people on the ground if it hits a house or something. In addition to being a tragedy the people involved and aviation in general, it would bring a ton of negative publicity to the relevant licensing agencies followed by mountains of lawsuits.

Without massive changes to the current aviation legal system, I can't see any way an "Uber air taxi" could work. Unlike a lot of cities which may not fully enforce a prohibition on services like Uber, the FAA will bring the wrath of God down on anyone they find willfully breaking the rules.
> Is this a core component that is going to stick around forever or is it some temporary thing you slapped together that is going to be replaced in the near future?

In general I'm in total agreement with your points, but in practice this one is really hard to do well. The majority of code that did anything useful tends to stay around for a long time, whether intentionally or not."There​ is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix."

This is why best practices and established patterns are so important for long term productivity. They help bridge the gap between effort and quality and in general work well. They're not panacea, but the exceptional case is a different issue.
I think the "higher priority" traveler might have been a FAM -- an air marshal -- who was assigned to the flight at the last minute. Even more so if he had an aisle seat.
A computer with a microphone and a cell phone both have the social contract of only "on demand" recording, as in, the user directly turns on the microphone and is aware that the recording is happening.

A trojan horse like Alexa and Google's device sneakily reverses this contract to the benefit of the corporation/government. People still feel the listening devices are "on demand" but in fact are being listened to all the time.

Education is really the only way I can see that any of us at the ground level can effect any change, here.

Torrenting should be legal because criminalizing decentralized network technology fucks up the internet and requires the government to spy on all traffic.

This kind of argument is quite similar to why drugs should be legal even if their effects are bad -- the effects of prohibition are simply worse, and immoral.

"Information wants to be free" is not a crazy hippie idea, it's just the fact that it's extremely difficult (or basically tyrannical) to stop information from flowing once you have internet.

Should content creators be paid? They should be paid whatever they convince someone to pay them. Indeed it's not my job to figure it out. Maybe selling consumer download access to digital audio is not a viable business model in the presence of hard-to-stop piracy; well then, sell something else.

Car’s Data Transmitter Can Be Hacked to Take Control, Firm Says
I think both FOV and price point are the most likely weak points to see continuing incremental improvements. Thinking back to my first smartphones in 2003-2004, it would've been easy to say "well yeah, the screens are too small, there's not enough RAM, and they're way too expensive!"

But over time, the steady improvement of touch displays, SoC's, and supply chains brought sub-$400 devices that are likely more powerful than my desktop PC at the time.

I think they made a reasonable compromise between FOV and ergonomics based on the current state of available hardware tech. While UI and software applications remain to be developed to make use of the tech, I'd be the least concerned about things like FOV going forward. It seems like a tradeoff that was made to avoid the bundles of tether cables and high-powered host machines seen in much of the current VR space.

There is nothing wrong with slapping an absurd price on a license or item. What is wrong is the legal framework that allows it for years after your death to slap a price on it. The reason it's wrong is that copyright was meant to balance the right's between consumer and creator. In the old days you had to perform or sell an item, no licenses.

Digital works are ephemeral. There is nothing to own that is not a fantasy wrought of the agreement to abide by certain rules; if your customers do not agree, then you must convince them to or adjust your attempts at compensation accordingly.

Copying your book does not prevent you from attempting to ask for compensation or from attempting to sell it; but you are competing in a market where your product only carries as much value as your customers perceive it to hold, and not what you declare it to be.
That Pipistrel airplane is very interesting. Not having fuel makes it better in a light crash I guess (no explosion).

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to piloting, but here on HN I've read other stories on light aircraft and training, and how forgiving it is and how it handles plays a very important factor in choosing an airplane as a trainer, no idea how that one does.
I gave you an upvote as I've been diabetic for 30 years (Type I) and what you say is perfectly reasonable, especially for Type 2s. I wish I'd been told of low-carb diets when I first developed it, but instead got the whole "simple carbs bad, complex carbs good" talk, which turned out to be BS once they actually did some actual research...

and the lack of any discussion about how mood disorders is a low level significant effect of chronic blood sugar chaos still annoys me as well. They are only really investigating that now, based on some study I glanced at. They should have emphasized that when I was younger, really emphasized it. But instead all I got was talk about effects that would be a long way off, when I was 50 and old and etc - so they were not really real. And high fat diets were used back in the 30s before they developed insulin, but zip was said about low carb diets. To hell with the ADA.

It is my fault for not developing good habits when I was younger, but also a lot of what I was told was BS. When I moved to the UK, I learned of a protocol that'd developed in Germany in the 70s that made more sense than the nth level of detail carb counting yadda yadda they taught in the States (don't know what it's like in America now, though I'm sure there is a lot more gadgets and etc available)

But insulin is free here and I have saved 60k in personal costs over the years. The US is ridiculous.

And no, insulin isn't the sole solution (replying to someone else). First you look at your behavior. Stop eating so much carbs. Carbs are basically poison to a diabetic (a loaded word, perhaps toxic is better). If you can't, then still adjust your diet and behavior as best you can. If you find you need lots of insulin because of insulin resistance or you are one of the small percentage who need 10x more insulin than normal, then do take it. Otherwise, get more exercise and lose weight if necessary. Blindly using more insulin only makes you get fatter and that should be a big concern, because the effects of that cascade into other problems. And caffeine... I have to cut that out, but ...I'm in IT dammit.

Treating diabetes first and foremost involves behavioral changes, not fancy insulin or more gadgets. But behavioral change is so hard. I can manage a low carb diet for so long and it works great, then stress and it all falls apart because of various personal failings, not because low carb is a bad idea. It is not a cure, but I really believe it could help so many people.

This is why pro-copyright arguments get downvoted, we've heard the hyperbole for decades and got fed up with it.

Journalism has a lot of problems, but I don't think actual copyright infringement is at the root of them, it's more a combination of unbundling classified ads etc. and the nasty realisation that lots of the public doesn't actually want accurate news so much as confirmation of their prejudices.
The air travel industry is a leading indicator of creeping authoritarianism in our society. I'm very glad that this story is getting the kind of media coverage that it is. This needs to be examined and resisted.
