Also, it's not just user attention that's the scarce resource, it's employees, office space, food, housing, and everything else you need to actually run a business.

When you have lots of unprofitable "businesses" chasing after the same limited pool of resources using their big bags of monopoly money, the business environment becomes toxic to fragile, new organisms.

It depends on what the goal of the DRM creators is. If their goal is to prevent copies that most people would consider watchable, then they would not consider the iPhone to defeat the DRM. But some screen recording technique with framerate sync would defeat the DRM. If their goal was to prevent sharing of the original compressed stream, then they would consider even screen recording to not defeat the DRM.
As someone who has had to study a lot of probability and modeling in my life (for starters, see: Exam 1/P), I agree completely with you.
I'm the author, I know all of them. Php, Javascript, and Python the best. Php well enough to have read add patched the source code. If you'd like to explain what you think some fundamental differences are between them I'm all ears.

For any line of python, there's a line or two of PHP to accomplish the same thing (same with javascript).

However you cannot say this for Scala vs Java for example.

typically i'd ignore semantic arguments but since this is in reference to philosophical consideration i'll assume you are someone who actually enjoys getting into the weeds of semantics.. if i am wrong in that assumption please feel free to ignore the superfluous following

your definition loses your purported binary classification when examined through rigor

> (a) it makes copies of itself

what about those forms of life that are unable to procreate, or choose to abstain? also 'copies' is ambiguous: see (b);

> (b) the copies inherit traits from the original

seems an unecessary condition.. if one is to accept the first than this is redundant, also it is confusing because you say 'inherit traits' and 'copies', a copy should inherit all traits, so which are we talking about? copies or trait inheriting progeny? if 'copies' is intentional what about forms of life unable to make exact copies of itself, like humanity?

> (c) the traits are subject to variation/mutation

if 'variation/mutation' is random one possibility would need to be completely foregoing the 'variation/mutation'

if 'variation/mutation' is deterministic then are there deterministic models of 'variation/mutation' that you would leave out of your definition for life?

(d) the success of the copies at making further copies depends on those traits which are inherited, then evolution must occur

what about life that fails in its own ability to continue to evolve but heavily affords other life to evolve further.. i'm thinking something like wheat that is scientifically controlled in its evolution because we forced its evolution to a sweet spot that for years helped humanity to evolve as we wanted
Both "extrovert" and "extravert" are correct. Contemporary language use does not always care about latin, however sorry I am for that.

But the author of this post goes even further, and uses both spellings in the same sentence!

For 1) Do you remember the Walmart music store (hopefully
not, but it was a thing about a decade ago). It sold Plays For Sure™ Music with DRM servers operated by Walmart. Then Walmart shut it down and from that point forward users could no longer activate new devices that could read the files they had for.

So the use case is simple: play the music they licensed.

For 2) why is that an intermediary's responsibility? Can you photocopy a book from the library or book store, copy a CD, strip macrovision from a VHS cassette and record it on a second deck, or hand write a copy of sheet music? Sure. Does it violate the license. Maybe, maybe not. Get get the courts involved.

Relatedly, what about the right of first sale? All changes for DRM'd media have benefitted copyright holders. There needs to be a return to balance. (Having to own DHCP enabled products increases cost to the consumer, BD+ makes it difficult for most to backup blu-rays, SACD audio cannot be transported digitally, unencrypted, etc.).

DRM (and crazy long copyright extensions) hinders preservation at both the personal and societal levels. Copyrights intention was a limited monopoly in exchange for eventual free access to culturally relevant works. It no longer serves that purpose.
The idea is having a set of entities on which one could reason better to implement more complex filters(regex) as well as debugging them. It is sort of a way of reasoning on filtering results it merely uses regex as an underlying tool.

One could write the filter using crocs format, compile it to regex then use in their programs. Using crocs you sort of define your data type then apply functions on those data types to fetch your required output.

The crocs framework is a way to give more power to your imagination and readability to others about what your imagination produces.

This model essentially represents an economy wherein every person spends exactly what they make, and in the real world, there are plenty of people who behave that way (at every position on the wealth spectrum).

However, it also ignores the fact that for the most part, people are not forced to live that way. Sure, there's a certain minimum cost associated with simply staying alive, but there's also tremendous potential for people to save and/or invest (a portion of) their money rather than spend it, which in turn may increase their likelihood of being on the receiving end of other people's "random" expenses. It also ignores the fact that for every dollar spent in this economy, we can assume that a dollar of value is received in return. If a person spends a dollar truly randomly (or frivolously), then that expense has an opportunity cost, and in many cases (above a baseline for basic living expenses), that dollar would be better spent/invested in activities that will increase the person's future money-making power.

I suppose if all those points were included in the model, we'd probably see even more inequality in the wealth distribution at the top end, but on the middle-to-low end, there's no reason it couldn't be much flatter; when people fall on hard times (as all will eventually), they can make the difficult-but-necessary decision to spend less than they make, thereby slowing or reversing any downward trend. Philanthropic activity would also help the unlucky few on the extreme lower edge of the distribution to bounce back quickly.

Of course, the real problem in this scenario is that we should never underestimate the number of people who just don't care - or those who spend their money more "randomly" than not, with little concern for the future. Those are the same people who later on will be lining the streets protesting about how "unfair" the system is when they're finally broke.

This was a great read, and especially hit on the human elements of the Flat Earthers. Here's my favorite quote:

> “How are we Flat Earthers supposed to explain to our friends the solar eclipse in August?” asked one attendee. The room fell silent. “We’ll have to do more research and get back to you on that.”

> “I started the same way as everyone else, saying, ‘Oh, I’ll just prove the earth is round.’ Nine months later, I was staring at my computer thinking, ‘I can’t prove the globe anymore.’ ”

Just because the person trying to prove it can't prove it, doesn't mean it can't be proven. What some people seem to hate is accepting what someone else says, but not having the tools to recreate/understand the proof themselves.

> “They want you to think you’re insignificant, a speck on the earth, a cosmic mistake,” Sargent says. “The flat earth says you are special, we are special, there is a creator, this isn’t some accident.”

Again, because you're feeling dis-empowered, just ignore everything and make something up. Then you're the authority on it. That's why in the end, they are really a religion. They even talk about their evil nemesis:

> “It’s not about money. They want complete mind control,” Knodel says after the meeting in the lobby of the Fort Collins coffee shop. “They want to create two classes: the ultra rich and servants. At that point they would’ve taken over the world, and enslaved the population, and controlled everything.”

Of course, the following line nobody said is "and us flat earthers are the only ones who can stop it!"
I find this:

mail = '(?P<name>[a-z][a-z0-1\_\.\-]{1,})'
hostname = '(?P<hostname>python[a-z]{1,})'
domain = '(?P<domain>br[a-z])'
match_mail = f'{mail}\@{hostname}\.{domain}'

quite more readable and easy to verify than the 50-line example in the link. The real advantage of parser combinators over regexes is the ability to parse data structures instead of just capturing regex groups.

> Where do those two moves go?

It's just built into the rules: 50 moves without a capture results in a stalemate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty-move_rule). I guess you could say that the two moves 'go' into the implicit state counter that keeps track of the number of moves without capture.

Because both players have already taken two turns, a player can claim a draw after only 48 moves. If the movement of the knights was repeated 25 times, for instance, then either player could claim a draw. However, this is not possible at the beginning of the game, so simply moving the knights back does not actually restore the game state.

My favorite quote: "[timing] could be explained as foresight or genius of the founder to launch the startup at a great moment in time". We should stop attributing others' success to pure luck
I have trouble believing that we'll have an easier time achieving it if we leave Earth. Sure, the amount of resources available to us in space is large, but there are plenty of untapped / inefficiently-used resources on Earth itself, and space travel, so that resources can move between planets, is technologically complex and subject to some inherent physical limits in terms of latency if not throughput. Certainly we will get good at the technology at some point, but the technologies that would let us Earth's resources more efficiently and sustainably are easier ones. If we can't get good at those ones, why believe we'll get good at space infrastructure?
After a two year period of watching my boss interact with people, I can confirm that this method works extremely well.

He is a "natural", in the sense that he can form close bonds with people incredibly quickly. At first I thought he was using some sort of secret strategy, but after a while I noticed that he was simply sharing personal details about himself (which the article refers to as "self-disclosure") without being prompted, which encourages, and in fact compels, the other side to reciprocate.

Here is an example conference call conversation from two weeks ago, in fact, in which we were chatting with a potential client to schedule a meeting. Bob is my boss:

--

Bob: Okay. Let's have an in-person meeting next week. What day works best for you?

Client: How about Thursday at 2?

Bob: Sounds great. You know, I'm glad you didn't say Wednesday because I have to be with my two little girls that day, and I definitely could not miss that. They mean the world to me.

Client: Oh yeah, I understand. In fact I can relate... I have a daughter myself!

--

And then when we actually met in person this past Thursday, the topic of their daughters was a natural conversation point.

In contrast, I tend to be fairly reserved when it comes to sharing personal info. I like to stay on topic and dislike what I perceive as derails. The above conversation for me would have gone like this:

--

Me: Okay. Let's have an in-person meeting next week. What day works best for you?

Client: How about Thursday?

Me: Sounds great. See you on Thursday at 2 PM.

--

Similar, but also very different.
[Author] I'll weigh in-

MySql, Postgresql [and the other major players] should all leverage the same standardized syntax (they're close, but not drop-in replacements). In this case when one gets acquired the switching cost is 0. In fact, if they follow the same query contract you could database-dump from one to the other.

Which one shouldn't have existed? Whichiver came second, I suppose. I don't understand why the authors between the two wouldn't cooperate and build one open-source system and fork it if it got acquired.

> Thus your children won’t get to play your music, show your favourite films, read your books, share your culture, with your grandchildren because they won’t inherit anything digital from you that’s usable. Historians won’t be able to track the influences on an event because the sources have digitally corroded. You’ll not even be able to share what you like with your friends.

Even Kodi assumes by (sane) defaults that the user does not want to save their own particular copy of the relevant media on their own particular device.

Imagining a future where grandchildren can't inherit the digital libraries stored on their family devices is early-2000's futurism that somehow skips completely over the year 2017 where the greater bulk of these future grandparents are streaming everything.
True, but I've always seen that as a side-effect of the sheer amount of money that flows through the military, which ends up sponsoring so many of these projects in the first place.

If the major take-away from this is "money can improve our lives", then why are we spending so much of it on military programs in the first place? A fraction of the money dedicated to human lethality is capable of producing ARPANET or GPS - what can the rest of it do?

Making it more difficult to get a driver's license probably is part of the answer, but if it helps, what's wrong with that? Requiring engineers to have an education also decreased the number of fatalities from collapsing buildings.

As to making it more expensive to drive, I don't see how that would affect fatalities per mile driven. Or do you have evidence that those driving cheaper cars are more likely to be involved in accidents?

But yes, "nobody cares about the poor people" probably is somewhat part of the answer. In quite a few countries in Western Europe, the government seems to care more for its poor than the USA government does for its poor.
Well, as for your business I obviously can't tell whether it was a deserved market failure, but in the end, it mostly doesn't matter, because DRM is just such a fundamentally broken idea with so many negative externalities that it would be hard to find anything that I couldn't live without if it depended on DRM to exist.

If your terms said that you couldn't do that, I would rather consider your terms abusive.
