If the water company created the water, then yes. Also, if you are in a position to "pirate" all that water then it is your duty to do so, whether it hurts the company or not.

I think a lot of these relationships are very adversarial and people, companies included, don't have much of a choice in the absence of a wide reaching and binding understanding.

I see it moving to a situation where a consumer pays a monthly price and has access to all the apps they want to download. This is already happening to games (see humble bundle & EA Origin subscription).

Amazon are moving this way to an extent, at GDC 2016 the announced that you could publish your app for free on their app store for their line of tablets, and they would pay you per customer per minute of usage on your app.

Also, didn't exactly the same thing happen to music industry?

Now we can pay $0 for music, we just have adds interspersed between tracks.

The same thing will eventually happen to everything digitally distributable.
Oh very much yes. Though I feel compelled to point out that my brief foray into getting Android running on Nook, the disconnect between a graphics system predicated on the sort of refresh rates that exist on LCD screens and the reality of the refresh rates for e-Ink displays suggests that just a naive installation of secondary display on an existing workstation would wind up being intolerably frustrating.

There should not be "THE" water company. There should be many of them.

Then we don't have to discuss which price is fair. Maybe some of them want to sell water at 1k/litre. Others won't. The market will figure it out.

This is price fixing. If microsoft and apple collude to fix the price of an engineer, you outcry. If you discuss what utilities should cost, prices fixed by monopolies is somehow ok.

That's why politics doesn't work. Not a lot of people have the balls to vote on principles instead of what they want for themselves.

iOS is entertainment and consumption platform just because you can't do anything serious with your greasy finger. You can edit text and graphics on Commodore 64 but almost can't on iPad Pro. There will be no CADs for $50000. One exception for this is music software (synthesizers, controllers) which are usable with touch screen but in this case OS (that is designed for entertainment and phone calls) is against them, i.e. no interoperability between apps, no real file system, bad external devices support (although sound subsystem is surprisingly good).

Who wants to buy fart app or doodle drawer for $200?

There's potential for games (it's possible to make or port RTS with great controls), but only on iPad connected to charger. Who wants this when there are PC and consoles? And what if you develop great new CelestialCraft&Conquer for 3 years, and users are willing to pay $50 for it, but then it's rejected by Apple? So everyone is making 3-in-a-rows.
The audio software industry is quite big.
Most of the poplar DAWs are from Germany: Live, Cubase, Logic (at least before Apple bought it), Studio One, Samplitude and Bitwig. Many popular VST Plugins also come from German companies like Native Instruments, Celemony or U-He.

Some other famous software companies: Avira, Crytek, SAP, Suse and Nero.

Hm. Its still abstract. Without telling me "a face in profile" I could totally misinterpret the blocks. That ear - wow. And the mouth - why isn't the paint reflected in the shape of the block?

And who's to say how many took the test with the paint worn off?

Further, I'd say this has no fewer cultural references than any other IQ test. Doing a block puzzle at all is cultural. Understanding that the ink and the shapes were independent parts of the problem. That a face could be drawn in profile. That a face can be represented just by eyes, lips, ears, and painted mouth. That anybody would draw important conclusions about your future from a child's toy.

I actually considered musing about something like this in my post. Typescript support would be very interesting.

Fwiw, the tooling support around the CC has been a problem historically. We relied on Plovr for a long time, but eventually it fell unmaintained, and there wasn't an alternative for a lot of the relevant parts (e.g. gathering source files you care about). Some important dev features also just didn't quite work as intended (sourcemaps) for a long time.

I would have to say that not much is the result of pure bureaucratic inefficiency. The extensive clinical trials are there for a reason, and that is to prevent the release of thalidomide-like pharmaceuticals. Researching, developing, and vetting failed candidates is also a major cost that must be recouped via the drugs successfully brought to market. The actual costs associated with bureaucratic inefficiencies are nil in comparison.

The intent behind Thomas's particular brands of "fatuous pedantry" (more commonly called textualism or originalism) are preserving a maximum amount of power to the people through their representative governments.

If the people of Colorado did not see fit to provide such recourse to their exonerated ex-convicts, Thomas believes that the Constitution does not require them to do so. The Constitution merely requires equal protection under the law, and there is no law that is being applied unequally in this case; everyone is equally entitled to seek relief under the Colorado statute, which presumably represents the will of Coloradans as expressed through their state government. If Colorodans do not like this, they can enact change through their government.

When the Supreme Court acts and rules a law either valid or invalid, it's an unelected branch of the federal government imposing its will on the people. This is especially sensitive when the will is being imposed on the states. The Constitution was carefully designed to limit the reach of federal power and allow more authority to more local governments. Disputes over the extent of state's rights are no trivial matter -- they've caused our only civil war thus far.

Anyway, I've found that a great deal of judicial activity is based on highly technical issues that many would consider "fatuous pedantry". IMO it is totally reasonable to suggest a basic modernization/overhaul in our legal system. Until then, however, my experience is that "fatuous pedantry" and "law" go together so often they may as well be synonymous.

I don't think cheetos are ok, yet I don't think it should be illegal for a company to sell them. I think it's immoral to advertise vaguely about health benefits (see how many vitamins and minerals are in Lucky Charms!) when researchers can unequivocally point to your product as directly harmful to health. I'm still not against a company's right to sell Lucky Charms.

My morality doesn't belong in the laws and neither does yours. The entire history of human civilization is littered with horrible event after horrible event based in the name of someone's twisted ideas.

AM created a (seemingly shitty) a place for two consenting adults to find each other and meet. That Bob or Alice are married shouldn't matter one iota, it was their informed choice. This is even better in my opinion than having a standard dating site where one party is expecting a traditional relationship only to eventually be hurt by the fact the other person was stepping out on their partner and not really interested.

Cheating isn't okay with me either, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to legislate against it. Are we going to force people to start wearing scarlet letters?

I mean is it really Apple, though? Android by comparison has millions of free apps that do nothing but spy on you end to end, after the OS has already spied on you thoroughly.

Maybe Apple users are now trained to think all software should be priced like apps (I disagree with this, but am willing to consider it a possibility for a given group of the iOS user base) but Google meanwhile has trained a whole lot more users that all software should be free and they just need to put up with invasive advertising. I'd argue the latter is far more damaging than the former.

> Who expects medicine to be free because they cost nothing to replicate?

The point is that it would be easier for people to digest the costs if they paid for development, not for the cost of producing the pills.

Let's say it costs $1B to produce a certain new type of medication. The company who developed it expects to sell about 100 million pills a year. The pills cost $0.01 to produce.

Sell the pills for $0.02 and for the first 10 years add a $20/pill 'development cost recuperation' charge, list it on the bill as such. The company gets a 200% R.O.I. on initial development, plus a 200% R.O.I on every pill sold.

Few people have problems with a company recovering their costs and making a decent profit. The problems start when the costs have been made back ten times over and they are still keeping the price high using the initial development costs as an excuse.

What I'm trying to say is that companies should adjust their business model to align with how people perceive the world, instead of trying to rewrite millions of years of evolution to fit their business model.

Why are services like Netflix and Spotify so popular ? Not because people suddenly changed their mind about paying for IP. Netflix and Spotify sell a service, and people accept that services cost money.
Utilities are formed when the product is necessary but selling it would be hard (low marginal value). Like water and electricity. In the rural area where I live, we wouldn't have electricity without a federally created cooperative.

And we don't have water utilities at all - I have my own well and septic system. Like all my neighbors. So in a sense there are many water companies?
Why should I pay twice for your app? If an app is IP, then I bought it and am supposed to use it where I want. If you charge for devices separately, means you are not selling IP, you are selling bits, of which there is infinite supply. At the point you sold an app second time to the user, he realizes that the app is just bits that he can copy himself for free.

Matchcode W for SAP Payroll correction run
Thinking out loud:

(1) The nameless model of reality I think is implied by "marginal cost of production is zero" simplifies away some essential aspects of reality (as explained by the late, great, RIP Manny Lehman model of "software evolution"). As the article points out, bug fixes and updates of the existing copy are necessary (to wit, IoT botnets), and in this model one never speaks about the continuing cost to maintaining the zeroth copy.

(2) The anticipated rejoinder to observation (1) is that, given the source, the end-users can do all maintenance, customization, and extension themselves. What we know about complexity (again, thanks, Manny) of any non-trivial application puts the lie to this.

(3) The anticipated rejoinder to observation (2) is existence proofs such as the Linux kernel. My reply to this rejoinder is that Linux is largely corporate-supported as a complement to the supporters products/services.
