Inertia is hard to fight. Sometimes all it takes is one player in a market doing it and then everybody else follows/feels they have to also to compete.

That's one reason why Tesla was such a catalyst for the whole industry and EVs. As long as nobody else was really making too much of an effort, everybody could just drag their feet.
> I want to profit off it for my life

Of course you do. Everyone wants free money.

But look at the flip side - you want everyone else to accept an obligation to not do a a number of things with that work, and other people to enforce your rights, which is a claim on other people's time and money.

So even if you believe there's some moral right to prevent others from doing things with some "intellectual property", you're still stuck compromising with all the people you're demanding do or not do certain things.

> Anything else is just punishing people who are creators rather than property owners.

Actually, you're calling a failure to coerce others into to building legal regimes to your preferred specifications a 'punishment'. You might instead ask, why should the fact that I scribbled something down create legal obligations on someone I have never met?

Do you actually live here? Black buildings under a dark sky most of the year -- it gets really depressing.

These guys send out hundreds of thousands or millions of takedown requests each year. This is why everything is automated, because it would take an army to vet all of the claims.

Legally this make perfect sense to Google, as there are two options:

1. Take down everything requested. Creators get mad but they are a dime a dozen.

2. Don't take down everything because some of it isn't technically a violation. Get sued constantly by the media cartels. Get brought before Congress for "stealing from artists". etc...

One party in the dispute is rich and politically powerful, the other is not. There's really only one choice a large company like Google is going to make.

Respectfully disagree 1% of the population answering a public consultation by the EU is low. On the contrary, it strikes me as fairly large.

It wasn't a widely advertised referendum where everyone was asked for their opinion. It was a consultation that got picked up by a few media outlets (and HN if memory serves me well). Public interest was high enough that millions took note and answered. Plus, it's the EU - which nobody ever hears about in my neck of the woods.

Most of the time, nobody hears about these consultations [0] except the small circle of interest groups that lobby EU institutions. Much like on Capital Hill across the pond, their input, rather than that of the general public, is what makes or breaks legislation. In that context, getting 4.6M answers from the general public is a reasonable argument in favor.

Jokes aside, as a kid growing up in Germany I already went to school in the dark in winter even with DST. Having permanent summer time won't change that. It's also a total non-issue because Europe isn't as dangerous to pedestrians as the US and fears of "stranger danger" aren't nearly as widespread.

That airbag would still allow the cargo underneath to shift. It's the same a the current situation (air), but with a bag around it ;-)

I guess you need something solid, and fixed to the boat, so there is nowhere for the material to go.
What do you think capitalism is, if not this clear example of a system affording great power to capital?

The definitions of the words aren't simply "capitalism = good" and "socialism = bad", so that the moment something feels bad, it should stop being called capitalism and start being called socialism.

Normalcy bias. Its the oldest killer in the world.

Dry goods are supposed to be dry... soak wheat in fresh or salt water for a couple weeks you may as well dump it in the ocean, its rotted (its brewing, technically). The problem is SOME dry goods (bauxite, etc) are not the driest to begin with and of course the usual leaks and accidents.

The crew knows exactly what to do if there's a storm or the engine stops or a fire breaks out, but dry goods are supposed to be dry, so when they aren't, the blind spot kills the crew. You could give up training for storms or fires to run liquefaction drills, but that'll kill more people on long term average, because storms are more common than weird cargo issues. Even if labor money is no object, brains can only hold so much at one time.

Yeah, but surely that comes at a cost, of less protection for certain types of falls. See the parent's comment about mostly-exposed skull bases for instance. Personally, I'd rather have better protection even if that means a little less airflow and a few grams more mass. (Of course, you can go to an extreme here; those full-face MTB racing helmets are really too much IMO.)

This sums up the best argument I've read about the advantages of best practices agile software development.

It's a shame some companies cargo cult agile as a way to bully engineers into being "more productive" in a brute force manner. That is, unrealistically cramming tickets into a sprint to gamify higher "velocity." Really agile is just about a more efficient development process. Agile provides a framework for discovery and course correction via planning/imagination/whiteboarding, and that is significantly faster than discovery via writing code.

Companies often provide this in the form of legal insurance - you pay a nominal monthly fee and in exchange can get certain legal tasks done for free or at a reduced rate.

EVERYTHING.

Every time I want to do ANYTHING involving a right-click for a context menu WHICH IS ALLLLLLLLLL THE TIMMMMMMMMME.

Tap-to-click, and two-finger context click, are both unacceptable. They result in accidental clicks, and accidental context menus on scroll. Adding any gestures to most track pads results in accidental gestures, and chained combinations of unintended actions. I turn them off.

Nine tips to make your website render quickly
>(P.S. Before you go 'but even for knowledge workers nothing beats working together', you can be right, but do we need the 'gold-standard' of collaboration every working day now that the alternatives are for most business activities more than good enough and still getting better with each year)

Probably not, but you also need to consider the second order effects. If it's not expected that you be in the office often, people more often choose to live far away from where they work. This makes it marginally harder to make people come into the office when you do need to pull together for "gold standard" collaboration.

If you wanted to mitigate against this, then you'd need to make part of your hiring requirements easy access to the office. But now you're needing to be prescriptive about where your employees should live, shrinking your potential talent pool and encroaching on their personal lives.

Thank you for your feedback! We'll work on that.
The speculation must be done with content-addressable memory, because you must commit or rollback register mapping after speculative execution have succeed or failed.

The dynamism, on the other hand, is a way to issue (possibly) out of order commands when they are ready to be executed (their inputs are ready and no write conflicts detected). For this you need a scoreboard (which is also needed for speculative execution). Scoreboards are for registers (which one is ready, etc) and for commands (which one is eligible for execution). As you can easily assume, these scoreboards are bit vectors, not some interesting thing that maps 80 internal registers to 16 externally accessible register indices.

The scoreboarding in CPUs have long history. They were used in Burroughs' CPUs long ago. They were used in early Alpha AXP designs (first one or two, I guess). They are very easy to implement - yours truly is guilty in this, having done that in month and he is not even a hardware designer.

I'm developing an embedded commenting system that runs in an iframe. Each blog has cookies at `blog-name.example.com` and one gets different cookies at different blogs — there's no tracking.

Still Privacy Badger and apparently iPhone believes the cookies are tracking cookies. Privacy Badger doesn't see the difference between unique cannot-track cookies on `per-blog-sub-domain.example.com` and tracking cookies on `example.com`.

If you have time: How will the new Firefox browser deal with such cookies? (unique per blog cookies, different on each subdomain)

Maybe I'll have to make the commenting system work completely without cookies in any case, because of iPhone and Privacy Badger.
I've been wondering for awhile how Google gets away with their anticompetitive practices in terms of YouTube. They built a huge business on search advertising, and then turn around and use that to run a video distribution infrastructure for well over a decade at profound economic loss just to guarantee no one else could ever get investment to build a competing infrastructure. It's essentially impossible to get the billions of dollars necessary to build a global video distribution system if you have to tell investors that they need to be willing to lose mountains of money for perhaps multiple decades while they wait out Google.
