There's definitely a contract, just a verbal one with no record. The lack of a written copyright assignment allowing reproduction sounds like a problem to me, but the law has undoubtedly changed over the years.

The thing that annoys me about cases like this is the music industry's vampiric determination to get every last dollar out of someone copying MP3s, while being blasé about actually getting money to the right creatives.

Royalty issues can destroy bands. Often the litigation can consume more money than the royalties are worth, because people are hung up on what they "deserve".
While I agree in principle, how far back do we go? 10? 100? 1000 years? Or somewhere in between?

That is too bad. I bought the first two seasons on google play and really enjoyed the visuals, story, and acting. A friend’s son created the Belter language.

Maybe Amazon or Netflix will pick up the franchise.
Our ten year old daughter also thought the touchscreen was cool in the new car. Until she was allowed to finally sit in the front seat while we were driving. She directly came to the conclusion that a touchscreen is stupid in a car :-) Well, at least on the bumpy roads in northern sweden...

Many bad votes in appstores seems to come from "ugly interface" or "looks old" and other similar things. Why is it that an app needs to follow the latest fashion trends? There was a time when we computer nerds looked down at fashion trends, thinking that they just repeat themselves anyway. Why is it that you have to have the latest fashion colors/UI to get more than two stars from some people? No matter if the program does what it needs to and does it fast and efficient.
I feel a great deal of sadness and sympathy for drug addicts when I think about them, and a great deal of resentment and anger at drug addicts when I think about the other people in their lives.

The difference is that Haskell has very little RTTI, so you can't really see the missing types at runtime. For Java it's much more noticeable, because runtime type manipulations are way more common.

How many children are abandoned to poor parenting - and is there a fix?

I know this is somewhat SF utopian but I keep banging on about "MOOP" - massive open online psychology. the idea that we are monitored day in day out by our phones, listening to us and our interactions, the actual useful data that could be extracted about our psychology, our behaviour and how to improve it is immense (yes the risks huge - but that's why it should be open)

anyway - imagine a fridge that says "don't eat the chocolate" or a phone that's says "don't take the opioids"

Or a phone that's suggests new ways to talk with your children.
Amazing. I got a HP30s in 2003 as it was the only calculator approved by the university. Everybody I knew hated every single aspect of it. The arrow button was soft and imprecise, leading to long calculations being deleted by accident. The display was too short for longer expressions (compared to the competition). The display scratched easily. The buttons were round and didn’t give good tactical feedback. My jaw dropped when I started working in industry and people would guard jealously their ancient HP calculators with nice clicky buttons and crisp display.

HP has come a long way - down.

Your feelings and beliefs are irrelevant to the question of reparations. Again, this may be an abstract issue that can be dismissed with platitudes to you but many people -- especially the victims -- do not feel this way. Whose feelings merit greater consideration?

Unfortunately, feelings are irrelevant to real world politics and legal issues in many cases. I'm only trying to explain to you why I feel this way. If the feelings of victims were enough, that Wiki page would have at least one example of reparations.

Your argument boils down to "Get over it." You might dance around with it platitudes about common goals (in fact African Americans are still subject to systemic oppression in many states) but, just to be clear, this is what you are advocating.

Again, it's the sort of argument which is only possible from an extraordinary position of privilege and the goal is not justice but rather to perpetuate that privilege.

It's not saying "get over it". It's saying let us address this another way. You don't know who I've helped in the last months or year or during my life, so please don't patronize me. You are intentionally or not distorting what I'm saying.

I'd suggest that more often than not, thinking in terms of some monolithic "racial conflict" is not an effective way to initiate change. Focus on real people, their lives, and their struggles. Name names. Get concrete. Otherwise you risk glossing over the crucially important details and perpetrating the very injustices you might seek to fight.

Which is why I study politics for a living and why I cited sources in my post, you know, concrete things. Would you do the same?

If you're just going to castigate and isolate people who have different view than you (but maybe have the same goal as you), what's the point?

If you want to get concrete, let's do it, but you're mainly saying stuff like I'm "devoid of basic moral precepts" which is insulting and absurd. I'd like to discuss this, but not if its just going to turn into that.
As long as there was no actual expensive lawsuits and publicity wasn't too bad, it sounds like she was a major net contributor. What was in it for the foundation to get rid of her sooner?
When you have too much CO2, there's a pretty obvious fix for that: plant a ton of trees.

When you have nuclear waste, you're stuck with it for at least a few thousand years, probably longer.
Yes, that would be Fika :-)
It's just for reference, I will update soon, thanks for point out the issue. :)
> If you use programming constructs that are 50 times slower on average, your program will be 50 times slower on average

Well, yes, but the relative difference between a for and foreach loop is miniscule - not 50x difference. In absolute terms, the overhead of both is barely measurable, and is extremely unlikely to be a bottleneck in any client-side application.
What course is that
Even in the early stages of the Pacific war, the Japanese soldier was very lightly equipped and the Japanese could not replace their losses, while the US produced a tsunami of equipment and supplies starting from near zero at the outset.

You'll see the impact of free markets even in the Civil War. The Southern slave economy could not produce what was needed - they couldn't even produce shoes for their soldiers. The free Northern economy buried them with well equipped well fed soldiers. (The North and South were both democracies. Slave/free economies made the difference.)
Why is this downvoted? I have the same question.
What I find amazing is that there are still people on this planet who oppose anything a government does, so they end up at the perils of corporations. I guess, according to you, GDPR is also a Bad Thing (tm)? Hint: it is a response to an industry which failed to regulate itself.

When corporations cannot manage themselves, the government must interact by rule of law. An example of that is the sale of frequencies such as 4G. Or the prohibition of usage of certain frequencies because the government uses them for military purposes. You may agree or disagree with some of these, but they serve a purpose which in the end can be deducted to being useful for the people (ie. the military, in the end, serves the purpose to protect the people).

If the government protects the interest of the [all] the people, equally, which they do in the case of net neutrality then the government uses its vast power to keep the corporations on a leash so that [all] the people can benefit. That is not anarchism, true, because the government uses its authority against very powerful monopolies/duopolies or other power vacuums with commercial interests. It is akin to the old GPL vs BSDL debate. And if you had that debate on Usenet or Slashdot there was no consensus precisely because there's the camp who believes in an authority and the anarchistic one.
This confused the hell out of me too - I've no idea what it's meant to show.
Capitalism only works because of regulation, otherwise you'd have a society resembling a dystopian novel. In the 90s, there were many small ISPs, who were themselves run by enthusiast, so net neutrality was sort of implicitly preserved. In an age where many don't have a second choice for an ISP, net neutrality seems like the only way to at least somewhat preserve an equal playing field on the internet.

If you have a better solution, I want to hear it.

EDIT: Also, this whole U.S. right-leaning libertarian, (assumed based on your comment), thing of not wanting to involve the government in anything ever is so strange to me - you rely on them every day to enforce your property rights, ensure you have clean water in your tap etc. I understand that in many ways it can be very dysfunctional, but you have to evaluate on a case by case basis. Involvement in foreign military interventions, most would agree is pretty bad, firefighters are very good, so are roads etc.

Ultimately, if we accept that the government has a monopoly on the use of force, then we must also see that if something positive is to be destroyed by the 'free' market, then we must redirect that government monopoly to enforce that that doesn't happen.

falling from roofs
I use my bike for all my shopping by using bags on the side of the rack and a big backpack, works quite well.
> My ISP

It was said a few gajillion times, but let me repeat it once again. Here is the real problem: it's singular.

My ISP works reasonably well for me, because I have at least 5 other non-wireless options whom I can pay if I'm not satisfied.

It is this simple, and I've heard that it works not only where I've lived but in other cities and countries as well.

And if all my options collude, then there is government to call.
I believe it is mostly from people installing solar panels. It's pretty easy to fall off a roof if you're not careful
I've been wondering how they were charged, were they just plugged in, the electric grid was far more primitive back then.
keep building new stuff, on side in addition to your job (which is usually borring/monotonous). concentrating on details. Once you've spent 10k hours on programming it'd just come naturally to you. You'd be amaised how magically and naturally you can solve complex problems. This is an unfailing formula of attaining mastery in literally anything you can imagine [0].

The solution to what problem?
Yes, this seems more like a demonstration of how strong branding is in crowded fields.
Waste that needs to be stored for "100,000 to a million years" is not particularly dangerous by definition. Either it's highly radioactive or it has a long half-life. It can't be both.

As for the hypothetical "future civilisation" which has somehow lost all our rudimentary knowledge of the physical sciences, but is still somehow capable of deep mining operations is a stupid, absurd canard. Any scenario whereby the knowledge about geiger counters is forgotten is one where that society's problems are going to be far, far more serious than a few deeply buried barrels of lightly irradiated surgical equipment that are statistically impossible to discover by accident.

Oh, and you do realise the stuff came out of the ground in the first place? Where's your concern for these future civilisations digging around in natural uranium deposits?
For how reparations may play out, look to WW1. Heavy reparations were demanded from Germany. Its effects produced WW2, a much worse war.

If the frequency goes down, the battery supplies power to the grid as you say. If the frequency goes up, the battery absorbs excess power from the grid. On net, it doesn't supply anything.
And given the comparatively modest energy output per unit, it wouldn't take many rooftop falls to put a substantial dent into the deaths per trillion kilowatt hours number.

Put it another way, if California produced 0.0004 trillion kilowatt hours of solar power every year, that would put the death rate of solar installers at one every five to six years. Sounds plausible.
That "waste" is fuel in a breeder reactor (or other advanced reactor designs). Current (ancient) reactor designs only recover a very small amount of the usable energy (something like ~3% of the U235, if I remember correctly?). Worrying about disposing of "spent" fuel out of fear for of it's current physical properties (radiation) is like worrying where we should store the "waste" 97% of the gasoline remaining in your car because you only allow an engine design capable of using 3%.

Waste has never[1] been a technical problem. The people creating the problem of waste are the people that push irrational fears about any new reactor designs that would solve the problem.

[1] a small fraction will always remain as waste, but that is something we have some control over by choosing the nuclear decay chain=, and it would still be a few percent of current reactor output. Even with current designs, the massive gain in energy density makes the current amount of waste trivial compared to the fly ash waste of coal power. Coal is worse even if you only consider radiation, and coal waste also contains heavy metals and other chemical waste that doesn't got away even with a long half life.
Ok it is quite normal that people do not understand risks and costs involved in running enterprise.

This is a great development for Python. The language services ecosystem was in the ICU, but perhaps now it's just on life support. VS Code, my editor of choice, supposedly has a pretty good python experience.. That was not my experience; slow! Just pulling tensorflow into a project would introduce serious save lag. Lag that's pretty much omnipresent to a lesser degree. Save and wait for syntax error updating... And wait.. Pylnint and Jedi were just not up to the task. A speedy language server is just what the doctor ordered.

Still, annotation/inference experience falls apart completely when interfacing with libraries like SQL Alchemy or boto3. Supposedly writing custom plugins is the way, but that never gets done! How will pyre handle stuff like this, or is it just asking too much? Perhaps a combination of better tooling and better library authoring, eschewing the temptation of meta programming and dynanimo, to play well with type hints will be necessary?

I'm excited for these new tools and will give it a play. However I honestly hope I never have to work in a python-forward environment again.
This is Nature, the single most prestigious journal on science. It’s the Ivy League of PhDs. A publication in that journal is a guaranteed job safety in university circles.
When giving birth at the hospital the nurses was all saying "See you in 1-3 years!". It's nothing uncommon indeed. After that ordeal our thought was more like "In your dreams!". No, it wasn't one of the fast, uncomplicated births, it was more like suddenly getting overrun by doctors and other white robes, whisked away into operation and then a very broken back for six months.
A few years back i looked into some European tech news to counterbalance all the hype from the valley.

What i recall finding was that European tech focused more on helping the sick and elderly (or at least that was what got coverage).

Things like garbage bins that would move to the curb on its own when full.
I don’t think that rich-get-richer effects are desirable in any game (1) since that makes the game degrade into a lopsided endgame where the poor have no shot at winning the game, leading to frustration. A game should always allow a shot at winning to stay interesting.

(1) unless it’s an educational game aimed at demonstrating the effect.
The fundamental problem with nuclear power plants is that, even if you do count them as clean power, they're not an economically viable way of generating it in the modern renewable era. They have the same flexibility and operating cost issues that are killing coal, only more so, and there's no real way around this.

Sure, it's possible to operate them in load-following mode somewhat (though US regulations don't allow it), but even French energy giant EDF doesn't think that's going to be enough to cope with a grid with high levels of renewable generation; their proposed solution is to change the rules so solar and wind power has to shut down instead of the nuclear plants. (I think it may only get you to coal-power-plant levels of output modulation at best.) Output modulation also reduces plant lifespan and increases operational complexity; not good for something that's already too expensive to build and operate. Similarly, large-scale storage would substantially increase the price of nuclear power.

There just isn't any avoiding the fact that nuclear power is expensive, and the only to make it viable is to put up everyone's power bills substantially, whether it's by increasing the cost of other generation options via taxes and less favourable operating rules for renewables or just outright putting a tax on electricity that's paid straight to nuclear operators.
It is a little difficult to travel back home when you have no money, and I'm guessing doubly difficult doing so while living as an oppressed person in a nation of racists, who most definitely do not want you to be seen with their white passengers. I'm pretty sure this was a major reason for more folks not returning "home" - no money, no help from the government (freedom was enough to the government at the time).

He was lucky enough to be accepted since he was from Africa. Many more weren't from Africa. They. like their parents, were American. Slaves, but still American - complete with conversion to Christianity and the English language. Even if you were lucky enough to have money, this would have made it a tougher decision.

I’m not sure if that’s what you’re tring to say, but in the case of Amazon the money being spent in building infrastructure is the profit. The (after tax) profit from yesterday is spent on capital assets today to increase profit in the future (and depreciation of these assets will be deducted from future profits).

How is that consent?
That's bad of course. But after a short time people can live there again. If something like Chernobyl or Fukushima happens the land is lost for decades and has a very huge impact (fallout, radioactive waste, groundwater contamination, etc.).
You may argue that these are just two big incidents but with all the old plants with bad condition (e.g. Beznau, Fessenheim, etc.) in mind I'd say we'll see more bigger incidents in the next years.

In most discussions the time is ignored. Nuclear power plants already produced waste for many generations which is irresponsible.
I’ve been told not to discuss downvoting (see faq).

He was captured by a rival tribe, smuggled into the country illegally, freed by the victorious force and the first thing he can think of is compensation. not from his owners, or original tribe, but the now government that fought for his freedom?
Not to mention, home is where he was kidnapped by slavers in the first place. Doesn't seem like the kind of place one would want to go back to after being freed from slavery.
Most reactors in the US are old and require a lot of maintenance. I think that if the US built modern reactors like those in Canada and France nuclear could be more price competitive.

Unfortunately most proposals to build new plants are shot down pretty quickly by red tape and NIMBYs
Apple already has a second tier, and it's constantly ignored in all the discussions about how much more Apple devices cost than alternatives. The second tier is the resale market.

When I sold my 3-yr old iPhone, which cost around $700 new, I got well over $200 for it. The net cost was under $500. Android phones might be cheaper, but you can't really sell them when you're done with them because there's always newer Android phones that are also inexpensive.

The same effect happens with Apple's desktops and laptops...by not offering a bargain basement tier, they foster a thriving resale market that's reliable enough that you can factor it into the price when buying a new device. Apple is essentially charging for both the primary sale and the secondary sale up front. Once you account for that, a lot of the difference in price between them and their competition goes away.
How are they superior?
The excerpt on vulture.com[1] linked in other comments has a bit of info about that:

"...Know how we gittee free? Cudjo tellee you dat. De boat I on, it in de Mobile. We all on dere to go in de Montgomery, but Cap’n Jim Meaher, he not on de boat dat day. It April 12, 1865. De Yankee soldiers dey come down to de boat and eatee de mulberries off de trees. Den dey see us and say, “Y’all can’t stay dere no mo’. You free, you doan b’long to nobody no mo.’ ”

Oh, Lor’! I so glad. We astee de soldiers where we goin’? Dey say dey doan know. Dey told us to go where we feel lak goin’, we ain’ no mo’ slave.

FREEDOM

After dey free us, we so glad, we makee de drum and beat it lak in de Affica soil. We glad we free, but we cain stay wid de folks what own us no mo’. Where we goin’ live, we doan know.

We want buildee de houses for ourselves, but we ain’ got no lan’. We meet together and we talk. We say we from cross de water so we go back where we come from. So we say we work in slavery five year and de six months for nothin’, now we work for money and gittee in de ship and go back to our country. We think Cap’n Meaher dey ought take us back home. But we think we save money and buy de ticket ourselves. So we tell de women, “Now we all want go back home. Derefo’ we got to work hard and save de money. You see fine clothes, you must not wish for dem.” De women tell us dey do all dey kin to get back, and dey tellee us, “You see fine clothes, don’t you wish for dem neither.”

But it too much money we need. So we think we stay here.
