That's a document from 2016. It's only "final" in the sense that it's the final version of the Commission's proposal, I think.

https://edri.org/copyright-reform-document-pool/ has a whole lot of different versions of the text, though I don't know how to find out what text was actually voted on today. I expect it to show up at http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/ficheprocedure.do?... though apparently that may take a few days.

Anyway, the version at http://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/35373/st09134-en18.pdf for example adds the following paragraph to Article 11: "The rights referred to in the first subparagraph shall not apply in respect of uses of insubstantial parts of a press publication. Member States shall be free to determine the insubstantial nature of parts of press publications taking into account whether these parts are the expression of the intellectual creation of their authors, or whether these parts are individual words or very short excerpts, or both criteria."

I don't find this particularly easy to understand, but one reading is "Member States may define article titles to be 'substantial'", in which case any use of them (as in linking) would be prohibited without a license.

Some people live in places where nobody wants to run broadband. About 10-20% depending on how you measure:

Most people live in areas where people do want to run broadband. But they still don't have a competitive market; only 5% of people have at least 3 options, which is the point at which you get real competition.

Atul Gawande is a brilliant person with interesting ideas on how to make healthcare more humane and robust. This is still probably a terrible choice of CEO.

To my knowledge he has never run a large organization or dealt directly with the complex backend of the healthcare system. The was healthcare is delivered and paid for is full of independent, semi monopolistic players that have often conflicting incentives. Oh and lets not forget that we have 50 states and 50 different sets of regulations.

Unless the plan is to create a brand new completely vertically integrated system, you’re gonna have to deal with the existing infrastructure, and I’d be much more confident in success if the person leading that effort had experience there. Having worked with many physicians and insurance companies, I can say from experience those skill sets are not the same.

Even if the idea is to be vertically integrated, someone like the CEO of the Mayo Clinic or Kaiser would have been a better choice.
It’s still very close and amazing imo. I've been non stop on my oculus go since I bought one.
> Enriching the soil with compost also helps increase fertility. As a result, the overall size of vegetables increases, diluting the amount of lead they contain. The effects of using compost can be striking. In the study, addition of compost cut the available concentration of lead by as much as one-half.

This is a statement that's technically true, and at the same time practically wrong. If the context is that I'm going to be eating tomatoes from my garden, what's likely to happen is that if my yield doubles, my consumption doubles (unless I have a massive garden and can't eat everything I grow). So now I'm eating the same amount of lead, just in a bigger package!

And yet we have package names like "fmt".
Those laws have been tried in several European countries, and the strategy is always the same:

- Google had to exclude the plaintiffs or shut down the service because they were not allowed to operate it without a license, and could not get a license in time;

- Deprived of Google traffic, the News site audience suddenly dropped and they granted Google a free license, as an emergency process to keep the lights on;

- Google keeps that free license for all sites, every other operator simply doesn’t have the capacity to reach out to every site, so competition to Google is completely killed.

The worst part of all this? There is a very old convention, well enforced, that already handles it: robots.txt

> landlords' greed must be blamed

Generally speaking, if a fragmented group (e.g. Silicon Valley land owners) is behaving in a cohesive way, greed probably isn't to blame. In this case, it's supply and demand. If rents were capped, we'd instead be talking about housing queues and quotas.

Anarchy can only exist until someone does something bad enough that other people ban together to stop them. This tends to happen quite quickly under anarchy, thus forming governments (even if they are just local militia enforcing their will as despots).

Governments can only not exist when the population density is so low that people only interact when they want to and can cease interaction when they so desire. This is extremely low population density, and given the increased range technology gives us, there are very few places that have this low of a density, and even then it only lasts as long as the density doesn't increase due to some migration event.

People might be upset because it's emotionally painful to watch a property that was once a middle finger to "the man" become wholly co-opted. And to see channel after channel with interesting and unique content get disappeared due to misalignment with establishment priorities.

The cases which may not apply here, like requiring ads, are real issues that don't get the visibility that the victims deserve. So when a high visibility incident like this happens, people highlight the plight of those past (and current) victims even if not wholly applicable to this case.

Maybe you're right that using this platform to highlight the host of well-documented problems with the platform is "off-topic", but it's understandable and logical when you understand the bigger picture and community here.

That and the number of coincidental "mistakes" in this story requires serious suspension of disbelief. One wonders whether any of those mistakes would have been caught had the channel been lower profile.
> We'll still be abiding by EU laws long after we leave.

That's a rather ignorant comment.

The 'Great Repeal' bill as it was called was/is - I lose track of where it is in the law process at the moment - effectively did/will do a 'mv' of all EU regulation that the UK was beholden to over its own UK laws and when this has to be done before the UK leaves and will probably be done sooner.

Then the parliament will cherry pick the bits they want to keep and update/change/remove those that we do not.

> I'm assuming you mean the 30% who actually voted to leave?

Actually while the Brexit vote to leave was significantly more than 30%, the past polls that have asked a more specific question of sovereignty/law making by the EU commission that seems to override UK Law is significantly larger than the amount that voted to leave.

Voting Leave != Does not like EU Commission making Laws by people the UK did not and cannot vote out.
The two aren't mutually exclusive, so careful you don't set up a false dichotomy.

And the EU as since it inception always been about making European nations interdependent, so that they cannot wage war against each other.

I love Gawande; he's an amazing author and very thoughtful, systematic physician. That being said, to my knowledge he has never actually run anything before or operated on the back end of healthcare, so it seems like sort of a strange choice for an org this size and of this type.

Additionally, his (publicly stated) thinking seems to primarily revolve around systematizing routine practice to reliably increase outcomes for the majority of patients (ie what he espouses in Checklist Manifesto). While this is certainly important, routine patients are not responsible for most health care spend, edge case patients are. A tiny minority of very sick people account for a majority of health care spend, so I would argue that cost recovery should center around creative management of these patients rather than more systematic management of routine care, and the org should really be led by someone whose thinking centers on that.
That document you linked to is laughably outdated and filled with propaganda, not scientific facts.

Actually, as a fiercly federalist country politics are very much comparable to a lesser corrupt US. In fact parts of the US system were implemented with the founding of the Swiss Confederation. Namely the two houses.

The principle of governance is to push as much power as possible as locally as possible. Communities and cities as well as cantons (states) in Switzerland have a lot of leeway in handling their affairs. As long there's no violation of higher principles. For example a violation of the federal constitution.
SSNs should be unique, the only exceptions are fraud or errors.

> I don't think any major city has traffic solved

There are some that manage it better than others. Constraining sprawl is one requirement. But public transportation is another.

Silicon Valley has trapped itself at a density where it's high enough to produce traffic, pollution and all the downsides of an urban environment, but not high enough to merit lots of public transport.

I don't think that is an equivalent comparison as the tariffs you described are targeting specific businesses where as the EU regulations the GP described affect anyone who do business in Europe - including European businesses.

However I don't have any particular issue with such tariffs either. If America want to promote their own industries by artificially rising the cost of buying overseas goods and/or subsidising local industries then that is their own decision. However it should be noted that such tariffs often end up costing their economy more.

That you think this cite weakens my argument reinforces my belief that we're simply talking past each other.

My original comment wasn't about jury instructions. It was about the fact that wire fraud isn't simply "a lie plus a wire".

I would note that this article mis-identified Jesshill Love, whom they call an “investor”. He may do some investing, but he is first and foremost a real estate lawyer at a small-ish law firm. I know this because his wife was a recruiter at a company I worked at for several years. This mistake doesn’t undermine the general thrust of the article, but it is a little weird to get this detail wrong. He’s the only person they identify by name, and a quick google search would show that he’s a real estate lawyer. Searching “Jesshill Love investor”, on the other hand, turns up nothing of the sort. Not the sign of a well-researched article — even if the gist of it is undeniably true.
