> The copyright system is just so broken really. It only favors big content owners and middle men.

Lol no.

It favors people who create original works of authorship that are fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Nothing more, nothing less.

It does not favor people who feel entitled to steal others' intellectual property, and/or who try to circumvent protections.

I really enjoy making docudramas and people enjoy what I create enough that they pay for it. That only works because of copyright.

I regularly pay the copyright office a $50 fee to register the works I create that I believe are most likely to be infringed. I also send around a dozen DMCA takedown notices once or twice a week. If not for the DMCA I would be sending cease and desist letters and filing lawsuits. This is way better.

(It should be noted that the DMCA does not take away my right to sue infringers (and win). It simply provides a simple way for me to quickly stop unauthorized distribution of my work, which happens to be what I care about most, as without the ability to control the distribution of my creative work I could not even dream of making a living from it. Without the existence of powerful tools to stop people from simply copying my work I wouldn't be making it. Which would suck.)

As the other reply mentioned, this is a millions of years sort of problem. But there are two straightforward solutions. First, in the new atmosphere make sure there's enough oxygen to breath so that an ozone layer forms. That's something we want to do anyways. Also, give Mars a magnetic field. That's a stupendously large but straightforward engineering problem, sort of like terraforming is in the first place but smaller.

So much more harm than good is done trying to get new users to use virtual environments. Just get them started with straight up python, tell them that the solution to “couldn’t find X” is always just to type pip install X in a terminal and leave them to it. They’ll figure out the rest long before it becomes relevant and they won’t have need for it until long after they figure it out.
The real risk is CO (carbon monoxide) where CO2 makes you breathless and you notice a problem, CO is odorless and inhibits cognitive functions and you really don’t notice anything before death.

Contracts drafted by non-lawyers are as binding as any other contracts, and can be enforced in court either by individuals, or by a $25/hour lawyer from Craigslist. If a company hires a $300/hour lawyer (let's face it, these days more like $500+) to draft a contract, or to appear for it in court to enforce that contract, it's not because they have no other choice.

There's a very interesting YouTube video that has a bit more of an explanation on why The Simpsons had a decline.

I liked how they analyze the show and IMO it does a great job explaining why lots of people loved the show up until season 9-10.

Personally I think I enjoyed up to season 12 or so, but definitely after 10 I noticed the shift in style/quality/whathaveyou.

> Hillsong music is simple, catchy, and easy to play

I provided the example [above](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18283308) of popular non-(simple, catchy, and easy to play) tracks.
Julia was developed by scientists that used math software like MATLAB. Most mathematics software uses 1-based indexing. (Previous comment about this.[1])

>with 1-based indexing: T[(h-1) * W * C+(w-1) * C+c]

Your example showing how cumbersome and ugly it is to subtract 1 -- isn't how the intended audience uses mathematics software. Instead, they would use idiomatic multidimensional access with commas or multi-brackets syntax that understands 1-based indexes. They do not manually multiply and add the offsets into a raw 1-dimensional array. (E.g. idiomatic T[x,y] or T[x][y] instead of contrived T[(x-1) * W+(y-1)])

It's also the same concept for MS Excel. In VBA macro programming code, one doesn't need to litter the code with "minus 1" everywhere. The 1st row and 1st column (cell A1) is addressed as "1,1" in the Visual Basic function "Worksheets!Sheet1.Cells(1, 1)"

Mathematics software has a tradition of 1-based indexing probably because many (most?) equations in written mathematics are 1-based. (Examples [2] [3].) It doesn't seem so unreasonable that scientists prefer that their math programming code has 1-based indexes to match the 1-based indexes in traditional math notation.

Afaik, this is just a way to reduce profitability of YouTube, which YouTube will be cunningly passing down to the creators and advertisers.
For me, the big problem with this kind of musical/theatrical production is that you're doing one thing — provoking excited emotions and feelings in a group context, just as would happen at a well-produced secular concert, or a moving, personal comedy show — and implicitly or explicitly claiming that it is a personal religious experience. Many times with young people who don't know the difference.

I suppose it might be fair to include music-induced group ecstatic experiences in your definition of “religious”. But I find the mix-n-match, the implied claim that the emotion of the large-context experience is actually a result of some kind of personal, relational connection to God, to be a heavily loaded and ambiguous possible untruth.

ymmv — I definitely have religion issues :-)
Why we rewrote Pydio in Golang
I had the same confusion as a child. I read all about dinosaurs, but couldn't really grasp that the bones were truly long gone. I still remember being upset that many museums had casts of the original fossils on display. I wanted to see the original bones! I didn't really understand until later that at least visually there wasn't much meaningful difference.
Possibly this?

Can Artificial Intelligence Give Our Lives Meaning?
Much earlier than that, of course, the idea was already in Orwell's 1984:

As O'Brien passed the telescreen a thought seemed to strike him. He stopped, turned aside and pressed a switch on the wall. There was a sharp snap. The voice had stopped.

Julia uttered a tiny sound, a sort of squeak of surprise. Even in the midst of his panic, Winston was too much taken aback to be able to hold his tongue.

'You can turn it off!' he said.

'Yes,' said O'Brien, 'we can turn it off. We have that privilege.'

How much of this is not attributable to quality but instead to streaming options?

I watched The Simpsons for most of my childhood, up until college when I was too busy working and studying--most of my TV time then went to Stargate SG-1 and other Sci-fi.

Futurama and Family Guy were in the mix as well up until that time. However, I HAVE still watched Futurama and Family Guy in adulthood, because they were available to stream online! If there are good Simpsons options to stream, without picking up another monthly charge, I'd probably still watch them.

To speak to your two examples I will say that with pro wrestling, it's still physically demanding and impressive. More so impressive when you realize that they're doing everything to not seriously injure each other. If you see it less as an athletic competition and more like a stuntman exhibition, it becomes "enchanted" again. I mean, it takes skill, timing, and work to be able to jump off a turnbuckle, wrap your legs around someone'e head, spin around with them, and hit the ground without killing one or both of you.

Similar thing with magic. Knowing there are false shuffles, pockets, forces, double-lifts, etc makes it more impressive when you still can't see it happening. It's the execution that becomes impressive rather than the result.
That seems like a matter of survival. Expose your local non democratic host nation who is already known for dealing out retribution outside their own borders, and there will be consequences....

Kaspersky doesn't even have to have anyone tell them that for there to be an impact.

Kaspersky's analysis and information they choose to share may be accurate (and let's be clear I'm sure they also don't share some western tidbits if "asked"). At the same time some of their data, simply due to their location, we can assume their choices on what / how they share is skewed. That's not a recrimination directed at the individuals there, just a recognition of a fact of life for them.

Be careful with that: it occurs at the end of the Sermon on the Mount. That sermon isn't so much a statement of how people in general should behave as a statement of how believers are to behave as compared to those who consider themselves religious. I don't get the impression Jesus was picking on one or other religious party in particular.

Morever, in the UK at least, depending on where you look, around 5-10% of the population attend church[1][2] - that's about 3.3-6.02 million people. Of these, one third attend churches with a congregation of at least 350 people[3]. There are churches with thousands, which would traditionally be referred to as megachurches, but these are a small proportion of the whole. Anyway, that's somewhere between 1 and 2 million people attending larger churches (including megachurches), which puts them solidly in the minority - definitely not "the many".

I don't have accurate figures for churches >1000 people primarily because the third source doesn't include figures for the Catholic church. Still, the 23 protestant churches listed account for <100k people, so not even "the many" as compared to the number of people attending larger churches.

The perspective that might support what you're suggesting here is that Jesus often seems to be comparing with those who are conspicuously religious, who one would suppose are often figures of authority (although there's plenty of content on how we're to deal with those much closer to us as well). Seen in that context the leaders of megachurches are certainly conspicuously religious, but they are far from the majority of church leaders, and the third source suggests that the vast majority of leaders in the ~37,500 churches in the UK labour substantially in obscurity regardless of their character.
