That is not how intellectual goods work. They require their own class of property laws called "intellectual property" precisely because they are different from real property.

Real property provides the basic needs of human life, and any single parcel or space can only be occupied or used by a single entity at a time. It exists in time and space as a physical good. Persons and families are entitled to protect this property, with force if necessary, because they depend on it for their ongoing maintenance and habitation.

Real property laws provide structure to our approach to real property so that we can live in a neighborly civilization instead of a smattering of independent militarized tribes.

Intellectual property, on the other hand, exists in an abstract, non-physical space. The same intellectual content can exist with perfect fidelity in an unlimited number of minds, and because intellectual goods are not subject to physical laws of space and time, they can be shared and utilized fully and simultaneously by everyone capable of processing and storing them.

This free-flowing nature makes intellectual goods extremely powerful, but it also gives them limited economic utility, because the supply is very hard to constrain. This was true in the past, and it's 1000x truer with the advent of the internet, which allows us to transfer intellectual goods practically anywhere in the world perfectly, exactly, and instantaneously. Now you don't even need to stay on good terms with the neighborhood sage for access to the treasure trove of intellectual goods!

Disembodied intellectual goods are useful, but they are not necessary for survival, and thus it is rarely if ever justified to use force in the "defense" of them. This is very different from real property, which must be reserved and defended to ensure survival.

To the extent that we do decide to use force to "defend" such goods, we should tread lightly. The analog to real property is very weak indeed.

Copyright essentially injects the government as a middleman into a voluntary and free market transaction, and says "I know you THINK you want that, but we aren't going to allow you to buy it from him, because we say someone else deserves the money more than him". Such interjections are another area where we should tread very lightly, and in recent decades, we have done anything but.

Our current iteration of copyright-gone-amok constrains our speech and does a great deal of damage that no one with an audience is willing to talk about, because they're all too busy enjoying the money stream from it to comment on its destructive consequences.

> one can sense a true disdain for many conservative points of view on topics like abortion, the role of religion in our society, and gun control.

Aren't these in fact lightning rod issues between conservatives and liberals in general?

The right for women to choose what to do with their bodies is generally a liberal sentiment. The right to be free of religions in every day life, again is a liberal (and constitutional) view. Gun control, is again a liberal desire (though probably not as stalwart as the others).

Why should liberals relax their views on these things? Liberals have relaxed on are some issues: economics, corporate policy, healthcare, etc.

The bigger news, IMO, is that Putin also signed the messenger law. To remind, this demands that all IM services that operate in Russia must provide technical means to de-anonymize the users, by linking their accounts to a phone number, a service contract number where the contract has identifying information, or other similar scheme. They're also required to be able to block any materials censored in Russia. If these are not complied with, the regulatory agency can block the service entirely.

Make sure your code is not nuts (A powerful approach to TDD in python)
Here are some topics that have actively not been a topic for political discussions for at least the last 15 years: The immigration, the housing bubble, the failed city planning on all scales, the inefficient patchwork of regional authorities (Kommuner) in the large regions, the overinflated financial system, the deindustrialization, and the drug politics.

All of them are rather urgent, but instead we get virtue signalling and distancing from the nationalist party, pseudo debates about tax-levels (55% or 54%) and endless mantras regarding "healthcare" and "schools" while ironically those systems are still good but are slowly deteriorating due to New Public Management, unhinged privatisation and a good deal of incompetence. None of which is discussed except maybe the last few weeks when a properly virtue-signalling but spectacularly incompetent General Director managed to outsource classified information to Serbia of all places.

It's obvious that the drug politics has failed. The only thing we need to do is to look at the facts (almost worst in EU), think and discuss, and then modify. But no.

Right now we are just feeding the criminal gangs earning money on lighter drugs such as cannabis where there is an unstoppable demand, while coming down so hard on the heavier users that they literally die on the streets. One mistake or relapse while on a program - and they are kicked out on the street again.

But why? I honestly don't know. Swedish government bodies seems to have a very hard time changing their position, especially when it involves admitting that they have been wrong. Swedes are also very conformist - almost like a big insecure high school class where everyone say the same thing, wear the same things, and bully anyone that sticks out even just a little bit, so it could be hard to discuss sensitive topics.

NVidia actually consumes less power in most games.

But AMD cards use less power with integer performance.
I agree with what you're saying but I think your last sentence is an important, and somewhat often overlooked, point. You've recognized that this is a mistake than you aren't immune from making and are going to take steps to lessen the risk of it occurring. I think often times this is the difference between good parenting and not so good parenting. It isn't so much that good parents don't make mistakes or forget things, but that they have a system in place to catch these mistakes before they become incredibly serious. This still won't eliminate all mistakes but it should certainly lessen the risk.

From a professional standpoint, while I'm not an engineer I am a technician working in aerospace, I think the same general rules apply. I consider myself pretty darn good at my job and yet I still constantly make mistakes. The trick is to have processes in place that allow you, or someone else, to catch those mistakes before they become irrecoverable. I'd much rather work with someone who makes frequent mistakes but is able to embrace a process meant to identify those mistakes than someone who makes much less frequent mistakes but refuses to adhere to procedures meant to correct mistakes, often out of a sense of arrogance or ego.

It is my understanding that the REA charged a flat fee per home and ate the cost to the extent it exceeded the fee. They also setup generating stations and gave loans to power companies (and later rural telephone companies).

Is Microsoft Word able to break the line automatically in a long sum (if entered as a math formula), e.g. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20? Is Microsoft Word able to stretch the spaces around the + sign in the math formula to better suit the justified alignment of the paragraph? TeX has been able to do these since the late 1970s.

No. taneq said that. I'm not taneq. In fact taneq said that in response to me asking someone else a question.

I never felt very good about running until I got Vibrams in my early 50s. They have steadily improved the shoe, but I think it could stand to have some more shock absorption in the ball of the foot area, where you land. The other unnatural thing we do is run on concrete and tarmac pavement. We also did not evolve to run on such hard surfaces for such great lengths. There are not too many places in the world where you can run on solid granite for long distances, which is the natural equivalent of modern pavement.
On the other hand, targeted subsidies can push economies of scale to tipping points of self-sustainability.

If there's lots of low hanging fruit then a broad tax/subsidy makes sense, but if you need high levels of investment into specific things to make a difference, then use the tool for the job.

Which end of the spectrum incentivizing green behavior/tech mainly lies towards is left as an exercise for the reader.

That would indeed be useful. I haven't been able to find any such criticism or post-mortem studies.
Earlier this year, the lessons stopped working for a while because the setup scripts ended up installing Keras 2, but the code was built for Keras 1.2. I was bitten by this in March, but I've been told everything works fine now (the setup scripts now use Keras 1.2 specifically).

Upgrading the lessons to Keras 2 is of course nice; I wonder if the videos will need to be re-recorded for that?

>What we don't know yet is how to pay people for those behaviors, because many of those screenplays and books and inventions will not be able to command a sufficiently high market price, but this is where the issue of some kind of hybridization of hypercapitalism and hypersocialism must enter the discussion.

Maybe people can fund themselves with token sales on the blockchain. If the government got out of the way with all of its attempts to centrally plan complex industries, I'm confident that capital and talent would do a much more effective job of finding each other, as a result of the incentives and feedback loops built into the market mechanism.

Regulatory friction is the great barrier to economic participation by the poor. It imposes primarily fixed costs, which fall most heavily on the lower/middle class.

I like Weinstein's comments on the growth hypotheses being proven wrong. I suspect it's not correct, especially not in our era where I believe we're on the precipe of an era of much higher economic growth rates, but it's thought-provoking nonetheless.

On the other hand, "hypersocialism" sounds like a meaningless buzzword. It would be nice if he defined it.
Yeah most likely. I use Onedrive a ton (200+ GB), so the normal one still has a few issues that are annoying - primarily some special characters not being allowed, no symlinking, and I don't think it does file history well compared to Drive or Dropbox.
How to do running right:

1. Walk.
2. Increase pace until uncomfortable.
3. Back off pace until comfortable.

Hi Jeremy,

Recently started the first course and wanted to say I am really loving it. Thank you and Rachel for your time and effort into making this topic more accessible.

Getting things set up for lesson 1/2 I noticed there were a few confusing hiccups along the way, I was wondering how do I get access to edit the wikipedia to smooth out a few issues I struggled with?

The forums are generally helpful but it's a lot to wade through and overwhelming for newer participants.
What I am most likely to want is just a gif/png/jpeg/svg that I can use elsewhere. I mean it looks like a great tool for creating timelines, but creating timelines doesn't seem like an end in itself.
The 747 is needed because it's filled fore-to-aft with cards? Or just because it sounds good in an article?

I think you're seeing the "Generation Z" effect among your students. As a Millenial, I've noticed it too. Millenials are really the only generation that "grew up" with digital technology and the internet. We had to debug viruses, worry about floppy disk compatibility, learn how to change out failed hard drives, etc. if we simply wanted to use technology at all. Whereas "Generation Z" (those too young to remember 9/11) grew up with nothing but highly polished devices like iPad and Macbook. There was a short window from the early 90's to early 2000's where you could really call someone a "digital native" IMO.
Assuming you go to work 40+ hours a week and will for 40+ years of your life.

If you want to take away those two assumptions, I strongly believe you can be a lot happier spending your time how you want - not at work.

Thanks. I've never even visited Spain.

But then, I wonder why Google Translate gives "right now" for "ahorita". Is it used that way in any Spanish-speaking countries? Me, I just know Mexico.

And here's an hypothesis: The use of "ahorita" to mean "perhaps sometime in the indefinite future" correlates with the share of indigentes in the population. So you wouldn't see it in Costa Rica, for example, or even among Mexican criollos.
I'd have though that two-factor authentication could have prevented this type of attack?

Don't you lose about 1/3rd of your stride when you strive to land on the front of your foot as opposed to the heel? Doing heel first lets me put my leg way in front of me as I land on it, then roll over it and push forward once my foot is directly under my body, like a spring. This means longer, more powerful strides. To land on the front of the foot, my leg would have to be very close to my body, meaning shorter, quicker strides. I tried doing this style of running - landing on the front of my foot as opposed to the heel, but I found myself having to use strides way shorter than what I'm used to. Is this correct, i.e. are the strides you have to use noticeably shorter and I would just have to get used to it if I want to do it that way?
What type of security implications are there from this? Are things like rate-limiting (by time period, all-time) or access control handled properly?
That's true.

But most things people consume don't scale that way. You only need so much clothes or square footage of house. Some people might get extreme given infinite amounts of stuff, but most won't have that much more of it than many people have currently.
Because -all else being equal- using a VPN effectively enforces network neutrality. ;-)

I think it's very risky to conflate different classes of threat. Yes, the state could suborn a CA but simply using SSL does not make you stand out. Using software which is designed to evade surveillance is by itself a bad thing to be caught possessing and unless it's perfect it will leave traces which will draw attention.

The problem I'm concerned with is the promise: tell people that something like this works and they are likely to trust it – at least until news spreads about other people getting caught by basic statistical traffic analysis. This is basically the Bitcoin anonymity trap: the marketing guys like to run around telling people it's anonymous and people often miss the distinction that any mistake will cause it to fail open with a full public history.
This guy is interesting. Interesting on so many levels. His singing voice really surprised me. If the world was fair, he would have been a monetarily successful country singer. He's already a success in life, and that's probably more important.

Then again, he might have never picked up running, if found too much success singing? Someone stole one of his songs, and sold it to Walen Jennings. The greed/unethical behavior of certain monetarily "successful" people disgusts me.

Those shoes should end the footware debate. Just buy what feels right, and use them until they wear out. (There's a picture of him standing next to his pile of worn out shoes. Yes--he admits to being a bit of a horder. I get it. I'm that way with books. Just can't get rid of them, but might be forced too soon.

Do I intuitively feel running eight miles a day is healthy. I don't know. It looks like his heart is taking a beating.

I actually sometimes use headphones and a white noise generator simultaneously. Simplynoise.com on the brown noise setting is my favorite, helps block out office conversational chatter etc.
I really miss the old 'sidebar' comments that they used to have when Medium first came out. It was a great way to post a short one or two line observation, and see it appear right next to the line/paragraph you were wanting to talk about.

While I am on 'things I miss in Medium', I miss the old 'Collections' paradigm they used to have - I enjoyed picking Collection categories where I could browse topical stories (e.g. Programming, Fantasy, Food etc.) - but I especially miss being able to post stories of my own into a collection. I thought I used to get FAR better engagement with fans of a particular collection that way. Now I have to beg around for a curator of a 'Publication' on Medium to post my articles on their 'Magazine' in order to get to a special interest group on there.
