I have no idea what you're talking about. Obviously, the historical facts are that copyright was transferable at the time. It's certainly transferable right now. Why is your sentence set in the past tense, and what are you thinking of?

If that frustrates you, then all of life is going to be endless pain. Why didn't you buy shares on company X (Twitter, Facebook, whatever) back when it was cheap? Why didn't you make every decision in your life the lucky way by correctly guessing the future? It's impossible not to constantly miss opportunities that involve guessing the future. If he had negotiated for a royalty, they might have refused. Perhaps he regrets not trying to negotiate. If he had tried and still got the same deal, I can't imagine any way he could regret it.

In 1971, Terry Ellis, the co-founder of Chrysalis Records, paid him a flat $1,500 fee for the three paintings which would comprise the album’s artwork, consummating the deal with nothing more than a handshake.

It's not even in dispute. There was a contract, so what if it was not written down? Give me $1500 and you can do whatever you want with my three paintings. Handshake. Does the typesetter deserve royalties too?
Erm, this is not about whether the internet is regulated or not.

In fact, there might even be 'pro net neutrality' regulation.

Youtube was pretty big as well, and Google ads were also utilized IIRC. The videos from the people from outside the US pretending to be Americans is a pretty sad impersonation unless one is kind of in a bubble looking for reinforcement of certain stereotypes/views.

I think a better argument is that between a third and a half of all people on Earth see enough value in some elements of social networks to sign up for them.

A lot of people I know only use Facebook for messenger. Some only use it for private groups. Some for events. Some for the newsfeed. Those people use twitter, instagram, whatsapp, snapchat, or discord for the features they don't use on Facebook.

IMO instead of looking for a service which could distribute the back-end servers of a single social network we should be encouraging the distribution of features, and make sure they can interact with each other smoothly.

Most our top politicians (I’m Danish) are career politicians. They typically get a candidate in law or political science at the university and then get into national politics where they do little else until they are done with politics if ever.

It’s much more of a trade or a career in Scandinavia than it is in America. If you’re building a space program, you hire engineers. If you’re leading a country you hire people who know law, economics and political science.

Aside from that the road to the top in Europe is a little different than it is to the top of America. You need to be actually great at the political craft because you can’t just buy your way up.

Vestager is so great at the craft that even though she’s in the opposition to the three parties that currently lead our country, they still appointed her. Possible because they fear her return to national politics, but more likely because she’s actually that good.
I think that is how it is in Switzerland. The "Urheber" is the person with the original copyright, but can hand over the usage rights to someone else, in turn losing them.

Better?

But really even without the journalistic [corrections], the tone is still very different from Hurston's original transcription:

What is going on with the highlighting here? The first few, have the for loop highlighted as red and red scores the lowest time (best score). After that, it's all over the place. But it's always the for-loop that is highlighted red. This makes it look like the for-loop always wins but that is not the case. What the hell?

This was commissioned work. It was commissioned under existing legal standards specifying that the copyright went to the person buying the work. Had it been commissioned under legal standards specifying that in the absence of a written contract, copyright stayed with the artist, there would have been a written contract assigning copyright to Chrysalis Records. It's not like Terry Ellis found an existing painting and bought it.

Nobody got ripped off here, and everyone got exactly what they should have expected to get.

The information from that App Actions session does make things a little confusing. In the All About Android podcast, Stephanie Saad Cuthbertson from the Android team says that the suggestions are done with on-device machine learning [0] (around 19:00).

My best guess right now is the contextual suggested actions (ex. call a specific person) that show up in the launcher are done with on-device machine learning as she says, but more generic actions (ex. open the dialer to call somebody, not a specific person) that show up in search results would be done with something like Firebase App Indexing and would require those actions to be submitted to Google.

True. It is probably very powerful but is very complicated to use and get started.

Have you considered alternatives?
The EU has the most to fear from Margrethe Vestager. At a time when the US and China are accelerating rapidly out ahead of the EU in tech, her policy approach adds up to regressive protectionism that will do nothing but further cripple the EU's tech industries (which are already 10 to 20 years behind the US).

Margrethe Vestager is doing the US a favor by breaking the leg of the EU as a competitor. If the US were more clever, it would poach all of the EU's best engineers and scientists, paying them 2x what they can ever earn in the EU and stapling a green card to a welcome note.

For the US, now is the time to take advantage of the EU's policies to drain as much talent out of Europe as possible. That goes for Russia as well, which is loaded with talented engineers and scientists that are being entirely wasted in Putin's authoritarian nightmare featuring zero economic progress.

Others have already echoed my thoughts on copyright, so I won't repeat that, but I do want to raise one other point you touched upon:

> I doubt many people cared much about the album cover

Back in the old days of 12 inch records, people did care about album covers. I mean yeah, the music obviously matters more but album artwork was actually pretty important as well.

One of the things I feel we've lost with digital music is the entire presentation of a record. That's not to say things are worse now because we've gained stuff in return (eg music has never been so widely available as it is now). But album artwork (not just the front covers) did actually matter to a great many people.
Publishers are often very confused about how publishing works.
Sure, but the commenters I've responded to have in my opinion failed to explain how the issues related to political elites etc are relevant specifically in the context of Vestager's battles with major tech companies. It reads a lot more like unsubstantiated smearing and hand-waving.

I personally don't think that the battles Vestager/the EC are picking are out of touch with the competition and antitrust challenges faced by the EU, US and world as a whole. It'd be interesting if someone could explain how Vestager's extensive political career disqualifies her. In fact, it's worth considering that it might be exactly what qualifies her / has made her more effective than her predecessors (and US counterparts); perhaps this level of political and regulatory experience is necessary in order play a meaningful role, and protect the interests of the people she and the EU represents?

By the way, I don't think the Athenian version of democracy is particularly relevant here (or most discussions about modern democracies for that matter). Governing a very small 5th century BC city is completely different from governing regions comprising hundreds of millions of people in societies that are vastly more developed and complex.

The Athenian model wasn't exactly developed to address the challenges that we're facing today - although some ideas, such as how long a politician should serve, can still have value. That does however at best seem like a tangential discussion with little significance in the context of this article.
There have been many well publicized events where a production database was lost, or in some way corrupted. I’ve lived through one such event myself. When that happens, you usually go to a backup, and typically run into two problems:

1) Point in time back ups can be hours old.

2) More importantly, “backups” are useless, it’s the “restores” that are valuable. And very few organizations have a well practiced muscle memory for restoring from a backup.

A turn key restore solution, with a per second granularity can both significantly decrease the loss window, and recovery time. Hope nobody gets to use it, but when you have, it can be a difference between a big and a small outage.
Life doesn't become 'endless pain' just because you think that some amount of royalties should be the default.

Imagine if it was just there, without being negotiated. Not a large enough amount to meaningfully affect the budget, just enough for huge successes to give a payout.

> At some point, some director of manager wants to save money, which can often be at the expense of safety.

This is true in any system. The downsides with nuclear don't seem to be as grave as the downsides that come with fossil fuels. (On a kilowatt-hour adjusted basis, at least.)

> having an indicent where money is (one of) the causes is just really stupid

Money is always a factor. Money represents resources. Finite resources. No problem can be worth infinity because we don't have infinity to play with.

Besides the obvious argument that there is no obligation to compensate beyond what the contract specifies, it's a bit presumptuous to take credit for the success of others because of a painting or some website coding. Jethro Tull's success was due to their music, and not the album cover. Facebook's success was due to Zuckerberg's savvy and not the amazing nature of the code.

Democracy is a threat to capitalism.

Basically, it explores how democracy and rule of law are fundamentally not reconcilable, especially when ethnic/religious tensions are inflamed. If an ethnic immigrant minority somehow gets influence (economic or political) people get rapidly irritated. Look at Jews and Chinese. The tyranny of the majority is not compatible with the rule of existing laws, when the existing laws can be changed with the majority.
From the article you posted:

> And so the more general formulation of "luck isn't real" would be something like "you shouldn't blame external factors for your failures".

Well, sure, but luck is still real. How can knowing a true fact not be useful?

> Ideas that empower you should be accepted, ideas that remove power away from you should be rejected.

How about we don’t accept/reject ideas based on how they make us feel but rather based on if they’re true or not. I understand that it is effective, but it will ultimately cause you to reject something vital.
Guiding policy is a rather small part of being a politician and usually something (at least in the US) that is dealt with partially by aides. Being a politician in a democracy is about winning elections and forming consensus in democratic bodies once elected. Being in industry doesn't necessarily prepare one to have those skills - example left to the reader.
I am curious as well.
Because I am known for knowing things I cannot possibly know.

For example:
Why is it that, as a rule of thumb, people that make money make it in real estate?

Why is it that all the pictures of the sun are orange but the sun is not orange?

Why exactly, is it that people prefer gas ranges to electric ranges?

Why is it that horoscopes are demonstrably false but thermodynamics is demonstrably true?

Why is it that heat rises but it's cold in the mountains?

I have the answers but you have only the questions.
SyFy's not at fault here. They don't produce The Expanse, they only have limited first-run distribution rights in the US and Canada. The producer, Alcon, retains all other rights to the show.

The Expanse is the most expensive TV show that isn't Game of Thrones--estimates are that each episode is approximately 70% of the average cost of GOT, which is currently the most expensive TV show in production. However, ratings-wise, it's not even the most popular show on SyFy, so the advertising revenue isn't that great for the channel. The low revenue, combined with the lack of alternative revenue streams (i.e., digital streaming rights, foreign distribution rights, etc.) means that the show has been a major money loser for SyFy and is one of the reasons that Comcast's cable unit has been underperforming the past 3 years. Alcon also decided to make the distribution rights even more restrictive when they came up for renewal this spring, meaning even less potential revenue for SyFy.

Rather than brand your pitchforks at SyFy for cancelling the show, you should give them credit for keeping it going for 3 seasons in the face of significant revenue losses. And you should blame Alcon for trying to blame hardball when it didn't have the leverage.

[Edit: Rome was actually the most expensive TV show; the average cost per episode was $9m over the course of its run. GOT's season 6 averaged $10m/episode and season 8 will average $15m/episode, but it's earlier seasons were relatively cheap. ]
It’s interesting to watch how seating is arranged by staff, particularly early in the night. Early customers or ones that they want to be seen are seated near the front or by the window.
Investors see a lot more road in Amazon’s future compared to Walmart’s — it’s just the illusion of growth that drives stock prices.
SyFy doesn't produce the show; it only distributes it in the US and Canada. SyFy has mismanaged many of its shows in the past, but this isn't one of them.

I feel that they're getting their legs back under their consumer division, although I agree their laptops have been really mediocre.

> by people who believed that the masses don't know what's good for them?

The idea of a republic is not that different. Acoording to its tenets, the masses are still not to be trusted to make the decisions because they dont know whats good for them. Instead, they are supposed to choose a small fraction of people who not only are supposed to know whats good for them but would also make decisions that is good for them.

It is not a whole lot less patronizing than 'masses don't know what's good for them'
> Erm, this is not about whether the internet is regulated or not.

Then you are in the wrong place, this discussion is about applying the Title 2 regulations on ISPs. I'm not sure which "net neutrality" you are referring to which is not about regulation.

This will piss me off now whenever they offer a table in the corner.
How they prime majority of such cards get to carders is through bought post workers that steal replacement credit cards sent by post.

So, even when a card is does not arrive, most people will assume that the post simply lost it, and call for another replacement.

As I understand, a great lot of banks still ship fully active cards that require no "activation" by phone or online, assuming that nobody can recover the pin.
Antitrust and competition regulation is built entirely on arbitrary quantitative definitions of competition rather than reasoned and objective qualitative definitions of competition.

There's a big difference between qualitative and quantitative definitions of competition. Anyone is free to compete with Google (qualitative), while Google dominates search with ~90% market share (quantitative). Even if they had 100% market share, they still exist in a qualitatively competitive market. But antitrust and competition regulation isn't concerned with that, and we've heard calls by EU regulators to break up Google based on their market share. Same with Facebook.

The GP still has it right. Paid for a task. Done. It would be different if he toiled away for 100 hours/week for no pay, with the hope of having a hit. As originally described, he has no more of a claim than the guy that made Zuck a sandwich at the food truck.
This is about being open and honest to stakeholders about Pythons strengths and weaknesses. Sure, I won't ever get the terminology used in your community to change, but at least you will know that there are people who find it rather uncomfortable and disingenuous.
An average engineer that I employ in the public sector is paid $86544 a year with a yearly pension of $12981 added on top of this.

They get 7 weeks paid vacation a year.

Stuff like New Years, January first, Easter and Christmas as well as a range of other national holidays is considered paid leave.

They get paid sick leave with no questions asked for the first 3 days, then a follow up on day 3 and 7 and an actual meeting on day 14.

They get paid leave on their child’s first two sick days, per child.

If they have children under 3 they get 2-4 days of paid leave a year per child to spend quality time with them.

If they are older than 55-60 they get a suited amount of time off each year ranging from 4 days a year to one day each week. At 4 days it’s paid leave, at one day a week they are only paid for a 34 hour week (down from 37).

They work 37 hour weeks. Have flexible hours and can to work from home when it fits their schedule.

They get $4000 worth of paid education a year + paid days to actually take it. The $4000 doesn’t sound like that much, but it’s enough to cover 2 university courses of around 20 ECTS.

Good luck attracting them. :)
You miss the point. It’s vastly easier to be successful at making money if you start with a lot of it, and vastly harder if you start with nothing.

A few very unusual people in each generation start with nothing and become billionaires, but for most of the population a running start will get them much further towards a comfortable life than almost any combination of luck and talent.

This is a problem, because many of our social myths suggests that the most reliable and predictable way to become richer is through hard work - and therefore rich people are more socially valuable than the poor, who stay poor because of laziness.

Both of those beliefs are absolutely untrue.
If you want to understand Mozilla's actions, just treat them like a proxy for Google. Things google cannot publicly speak about, Mozilla does it for them.

In this case, nn by design takes power away from infrastructure companies (ISPs) and gives it to internet services companies (google, facebook, etc.). So Mozilla is very actively supporting it.
