I went off the phrase "A machine can indeed do a better job [..]" and was seeing the price as a big part of that package.

Looks we agree about everything that we actually made explicit. The disagreement was about the implicit meaning of whether price was included in the meaning of 'better job'.
When these rules were invented, the ostensible concern really was about destitute artist families.

Today it's just an excuse, wheel out Jimmy and have him say about how his grandfather just wanted to do right by the kids and imply that people using Jim's granddad's story idea now it's entering the public domain are "stealing" from him and this is an outrage.

Copyright is by its nature rent-seeking, you get income from owning something, and not by actually contributing anything of value. Even in the rare cases where it really _does_ keep some artist's recently bereaved family out of poverty we ought to be asking why aren't we keeping _everybody_ out of poverty?

The original argument tried to justify this rent-seeking by saying we are getting something from it, these brilliant ideas might never get published if Copyright doesn't ensure there's a reward. And if they're not published we'd never know about them, you can't riff on Mickey if nobody has ever seen a Mickey Mouse cartoon. And you know what, I don't agree but if the bargain had stuck at 28 years I'd hold my nose. But of course it didn't. We managed to get _Big Pharma_ to put up with a genuinely limited exclusivity period for their drugs, and a world where generic medicines not only exist but thrive - yet somehow Big Content got extension after extension for some guy's idea for a cartoon mouse (among many other things).

The reasons your family wouldn't keep getting your paycheck are practical though (you'd stop doing the work that earns your employer an income).

Although I think it should be more like a few years' buffer rather than a lifetime income.

Not just people. What's the point of being able to embed MathML in your XHTML if there's only a single browser that understands it? And what's the point in using XHTML when you need to pretend it's just HTML tagsoup for 90% of your vistors' browsers?

> rather than in a schema or DTD (which used to resolve in band, even)

Except that only happened with a very small number of tools. Browsers never cared about DOCTYPE declarations other than as a signal (or at best a bunch of ENTITY definitions). And schemas provide no use other than validation.

XML is more verbose than JSON and XML Schema is more established than most of the JSON equivalents but none of that is relevant when talking about HTML. The only thing you gain from embedding your metadata in your HTML is colocation.

Truth in DOM was a dream that web developers chased for more than a decade. The reason it doesn't work is simply that rendering information is a lossy process. You either end up duplicating the same information multiple times in your markup (once for presentation, once for display) or adding layers of indirection to render or reverse the render at runtime. It's a fool's errand.

Bitcoin ended up becoming a federated system instead of being a centralised system or decentralised system.

There are multiple providers. If one provider goes bust you can still move to the next.

There are a few minor differences.

The blockchain retains data accross providers as long as there is at least a single node. Traditional systems like email require you to migrate your data manually from the old provider to the new one. PoW is spam resistant because it costs money to send spam.
That is true, initially with extensions past the creator's death. But as you also point out, it is very much rent seeking behavior by companies.

However to understand why we even have copyright, you have to know your renaissance European history. Prior to copyright/patents, you had the guild system. Knowledge was hidden, obfuscated, and destroyed. Those whom wanted to share the secrets of the guild were imprisoned and/or killed.

Fast-forward to the creation of the USA - most of the people here were second sons whom had little to no claims on European riches. They also knew of the guilds, and the danger they have. So, they posited copyright, trademark, and patent. It wasn't cause they were the best tools, but they were better than the guilds that preceded them.

It's about time we revisit the idea of copyright, patent, and trademark and how they apply in the 21'st century.

> It’s unlikely that age alone is driving these results. In sibships of two, older siblings on average were only about one year older than younger siblings. That can’t explain why one group reads this blog so much more often than the other.

It would be interesting to investigate the relationship between the age of the respondent and the effect of birth order. For example, does birth order matter less for millennials than it does for baby boomers, or vice versa?

Also would be interesting to investigate how much the age difference between siblings matter. For example, does birth order matter more if the siblings are born 1 year apart vs 10 years apart?

That’s correct. But Disney has trademarks around Mickey. So you can’t call your work Mickey Mouse. And you may find yourself in court if your work too closely matches any of the trademarks Disney has on the Mouse. So it will be risky as Disney may wish to drown you in legal filings based not on copyright but trademarks.
> because they didn't want to close their elements

That is an incredibly uninformed view of early 2000s web content authoring. The reason people didn't like XHTML was that it provided no tangible benefit.

In fact, my experience was quite the opposite: technical people loved XHTML because it made them feel more legitimate, they just had to sprinkle a few slashes over their markup. Validators were the hot new thing and being able to say your website was XHTML 1.0 Strict Compliant was the ultimate nerd badge of pride.

But these same people didn't use the XHTML mime type because they wanted their website to work in as many browsers as possible.

> And now most web pages don't even parse in an XML parser.

Again with the nostalgia for a past that never was: most web browsers never supported XHTML, they supported tag soup HTML with an XHTML DOCTYPE but an HTML mime type. Why? Because they supported tag soup HTML and only used the DOCTYPE as a signal for whether the page tried to be somewhat standards compliant.
> If you haven’t sold in 90 days, your price is to high

Right. So it's selection bias. The people who can get a price 15% more than they paid manage to sell within 90 days, the people who can't dont.

That's not remotely a valid comparison. If I run a native app, I had to get that app somehow and install it. I know it can modify my computer (and probably have to give it persmission to do so). A web page can automatically load other pages, even in the background and do who knows what. For most of the existance of the web we've all had the mental model of "sandbox". We never had that for native apps.

A different question is that the system has many issues, see for example [0] and the recent figth between private insurers and dialysis clinics due to the assistance provided by charities which are funded by the dialysis companies that help patients to pay for commercial insurance (reimbursement from private payors is much higher, even though most patients are on Medicare they are not profitable).

The problem isn't smartphones, it's culture. We've just not adapted to this new reality yet.

The same was true during every major human revolution. We no longer have the attention span of our ancestors, but that's because it doesn't make sense to have so much of it. Nature goes for the lowest energy state, so if you introduce something that takes over for you then your brain is going to put that previous work to some other use.

There is no better or worse when it comes to this stuff, it's all just conditions of our present situation.

Is reduced attention span bad?
Only if the world loses all the progress it's made. Which is a possibility, but a reduced attention span is the least of our worries if society collapses.

This is just fear mongering as usual. Humans are defined by our incredible ability to adapt. We're going to just keep on doing that, like the previous 100,000 years.

I always wonder how low the IP for Mickey will sink when that copyright expires. Disney can usually produce good enough content with Mickey including some games (Kingdom Hearts series) and animation for kids. It might not hit the mark for everyone, but I think Disney prides itself on never producing shovelware - even if the content is bland.

Imagine the App/Play Store (or whatever exists then) once it expires though. If you thought the Flappy Bird spam was bad...

> It makes sense because gas usage is very correlated with road wear, so people who drive heavier vehicles pay a proportionate share of the road maintenance costs.

There are also some cases where it makes no sense, particularly since fuel tax is a primary source of funding for infrastructure and repair.

A Toyota Prius and a Ford Focus are both around 3,000 lbs, will do roughly the same damage on the road. The Prius gets 58 mpg city and 53 highway. The Focus is at 30 city 40 highway. So for city driving the Prius driver contributes 1/2 as much to the fuel tax revenues.

It's a nice incentive to reduce emissions, however the Prius driver is not contributing proportionally to the fuel tax.

If only we could charge make a charge based on weight, mpg, and miles driven.

There is massive selection bias here. You are not showing how many homes were listed but didn't close. This is measuring only successes, not all the failures to sell.

Also you need to factor in realtor fees on both the original purchase and then subsequent sale (I do not know what they are in the UK, but in Canada they can 3%-7% of the transaction, and this exclude lawyer fees and mortgage discharge fees) which means that you need to get a certain percentage of "gain" in the selling price compared to the purchase price to make any real profit at all. If this was Canada, a good percentage of these so called "profitable sales" would actually be breakeven or slight losses.

Assume realtor fees of 5% on both the original purchase and the sale, this completely wipes out the profit of $168M on the $1.5B of sales. Hmm...

Strange article. It is like the author is not at all knowledgeable at all about how realestate works, or maybe UK is very different than Canada.
