The whole "Mickey Mouse is why we have the DMCA" thing is overstated to the point where I'm tempted to call it an urban legend. There were a lot of forces aligned in the 90s to extend copyright. Disney was one of them, but it was a lot more than just Mickey.

It was more about laying the groundwork for an intellectual property driven global economy, in which the U.S.'s major export would be IP. Keep in mind in the 90s, that's where people thought the world was going; we were deindustrializing and there was a (false) sense that everyone in the first world was going to become a "knowledge worker" while all the unpleasant jobs could be offshored. (But, somehow, the countries we were offshoring to were never going to develop IP industries of their own; it always seemed to be a one-way circuit.)
Solar farms are ~0.8 MW / acre that adds up fast. Many current nuclear powerplants are similar energy density when you consider all the space inside the fencing.

Energy density is more a problem of materials. If you start talking GW hours it’s ~1GW from a ~38 ft tall and 48 meter diameter tank, even at $1,000 per ton it adds up. On top of that you need steam turbines etc.
> It saddens me, that the core development path in BSD was not able to sustain being the "reference" model for a wider community.

Could you explain? FreeBSD was not the reference implementation of ZFS, illumos was. ZoL is still tied up in the OpenZFS project (as are illumos and FreeBSD), this is more a matter of rebasing onto the subproject where more development is occurring. As it was, FreeBSD's implementation was already using a Solaris/illumos compatibility shim, and it sounds like switching isn't that much work.
Off Topic Question. So can Public Domain be consider an open source license now? Previously I read there were lots of argument about it being now applicable to software.

I'm pretty sure about 90% of professional creatives (artists, animators... programmers fall under almost all the criteria, too) are paid a salary as well. They work for DC, Disney, Amazon, etc. Tons working in either direct ad agencies or in the marketing departments of all kinds of business. All on a payroll.
But that’s more of a personal problem isn’t it? No one forced that mode of transit, and you don’t hear joggers or skateboarders complain.

Besides that, there is no consent trail for the images to begin with nor is there any indication of where they get sent, stored and who has access to them.

Very easy to criticise, but the simplicity of a road into the ground vs numerous subway stations/surrounding infrastructure is an order of magnitude different in terms of cost and time.
You are right but I stand my point, the main functionality (isolation) is the same. One may indeed prefer a stronger isolation and be ready to accept a larger memory footprint, less easy ways to fine-tune isolation in order to let the isolated software access to some system-wide resources...
Indeed, last I checked, a 12AX7 is like 5 bucks in quantity (and I'm no master at low cost sourcing), so it's barely even an economic argument. The guitar amp can't be made much smaller overall because it still needs a speaker.

That's all true, and let's be clear that this problem is fundamental to the very notion of economics. It is not fixable. An 'economy' doesn't map usefully to physical realities. Say you wanted to develop a 'real', comprehensive GDP-alike metric. Even if you could develop measures for all the mutual interactions between a so-called 'economy' and the ecological system with which it is enmeshed, the interactions are so manifold & complex, you'd have to end up with those metrics as parameters in whole-ecology models in any case.

We live in ecologies, not economies.

Historically, the very first regular police patrols on this continent after settlement were for the express purpose of protecting the property interests of large landholders: escaped slave patrols, estate protection duty to keep angry/hungry working class from breaking/burning down mansions, et c.

Unless you own a lot of property, you still can’t expect much from the police in the USA.

> On the other hand, there’s a substantial chance that Democrats and Republicans fail to reach a deal on revisions

There's zero chance the Democrats and Republicans fail to ratify the new USMCA. Neither party particularly wanted to dump NAFTA in the first place, it was almost entirely a Trump push to renegotiate it. USMCA is very slightly better for the US and North America, so it's better than the deal they all supported before that. It's a small group of Democrats posturing with their new control of the house. They understand the cost of letting the trade pact drop and they have no interest in owning that mistake.

Spot on. I made a whole bunch of Solar Concentrator models and did a number of calculations on them. The work was probably flawed for very precise budgeting but order of magnitude should have been correct and even then it would not work, not even close.

The best I found was a moveable array of mirrors and stationary collectors but this too is fragile and a maintenance headache. Leaks of working fluid and mechanical problems would ruin the economics even if you could get the basics to work out in your favor.
Lenz v. Universal was ultimately settled under confidential terms. Since the preceding judgement in the 9th Circuit was largely favorable to Lenz, I’d guess those terms probably did include Universal paying at least some trivial amount.

The ignorant part was accusing SPA authors of copying malware patterns.

Regarding your opinion, I'm still not sure what you are comparing / suggesting.

Are you saying that late 90s reactivity on the web was good enough? I think you are very much in the minority on that one.

Are you saying SPA authors shouldn't expose URLs for different navigation paths to the browser? I think you would be surprised at all the places your browser experience breaks, like not being able to restore tabs, or copy links to interesting news stories.

The right way to do SPA is to design nav actions that feel like links, and only update the history in those. A user not watching carefully for page refreshes or net traffic shouldn't be able to tell the difference - and perhaps there are times this is happening on your browser that you aren't aware of because it can be done smoothly.

The problem is what they will do when they are at the top (or hitting rock bottom). Or when their stakeholders want to milk the cow.

It's similar to how you don't want companies to have your personal data, even if you trust them "100%". When money becomes a problem, or a solution, you'll be their last priority.

Some of the news about Windows 10 would be unthinkable a few years ago. Priorities change, and this company in particular has a history of being extremely hostile.

Not saying it's a direct correlation, this is a very difficult topic to analyze, but if you are a heavy phone user you take your chances. Cancer has a long latency period, so you may die of other causes before the damage is realized.

Personally I think other more immediate non-thermal effects of pulsed RF are of more concern than cancer at the moment. This may change, but that's what the current research seems to point towards.

Sitting too much is at least in the same league as being overweight, but the extent to which being overweight increases healthcare costs is largely down to the number of people who are overweight. There are many choices that an individual can make that are just as costly that aren't ridiculed.

Furthermore, it's not clear that obese people actually consume more healthcare dollars.

"Although effective obesity prevention leads to a decrease in costs of obesity-related diseases, this decrease is offset by cost increases due to diseases unrelated to obesity in life-years gained."

classic Unix memory management is based about "break pointers" which describe highest address of data segment, and a top of stack pointer, which limits the stack segment. Those areas are linear and you can't free a part in the middle.

This is a historical curiosity from PDP-11 before the advent of paging, but apparently still used by some malloc() implementations. Modern memory management doesn't use linear mapping but instead uses paging to create chunks of accessible memory. Some applications still use a big linear address space by appropriately asking the OS then interoperating with memory management to only request the memory that is needed

Bandwidth is tremendously important in wireless communications because the more data you can transmit in less time, the less time you need to be transmitting.

In general, only one radio can transmit on one frequency at a time. So a city wide network quickly becomes congested. Reducing the time everyone spends transmitting greatly increases the quality of service and the amount of users that can be serviced.

The increased antenna count is also a benefit in crowded situations. If each antenna covers a smaller range, then more people can use the network in a given area- two antennas that would interfere with each other in a longer range system will operate simultaneously.

It will be only a matter of time until we have autonomous vehicle spam: cars with billboards driving around (unless stuck in traffic) simply to be seen.

It could be a huge problem because of competing goals. The spammers won't care about traffic flow as their only goal will be to have cars on the road and visible, whilst people in cars will want to get places in a reasonable time.

Another "small government" conservative mouthpiece arguing for breaking up tech companies that disagree with their political opinions. I think the other reasons they give are merely nominal, and not what they care about the most.

Project Dragonfly was shelved due to public and internal outcry. Good! More of that outcry should occur more often. This is exactly what we need to do.

Then it goes on to question Google's refusal to work with the Pentagon. Odd. Pretty poor reason to advocate for breaking a company up. What about legitimate fears of what this technology could be used for?

Google collects a lot of data, so you know what? I don't use Google search, I use DuckDuckGo instead, a secondary option which doesn't track me. You can get by with any Google product that isn't YouTube pretty easily in most cases (Google Classroom exceptions not included).

IoT argument is null, it's not like it would be any better if there were more smaller IoT companies, just means they'd have worse security. Just don't buy particular IoT products if you don't like their privacy policy, and advocate for more privacy protections in them.

Just write anything against big tech companies on Hacker News, your arguments can be anything, it doesn't matter, people will support you.

How is identity theft used to facilitate or fund other crimes?
Here's Kathy Brook's (Quora blogger and 4th most viewed writer in 'Fraud Prevention') take on the question:

__________________________________________________

Identity theft is the most common way of facilitating or funding other crimes or terrorist activities.

Let me give you a ‘for instance’. Say, a hacker or a fraudster gets their hands on the identity particulars of a person who has passed away not long ago.

These particulars include their records in the government databases, identity documents (ID cards, credit/debit cards, passport or driving license, etc.), their photo and personally identifiable information like Name, DoB, etc.

Using these details, the scammer can easily make up a new identity for himself. Using those details, they can carry out all and any of the illegal activities.

How can a dead person be involved in terrorist funding? No one would suspect it.

This is how identities are stolen and misused by fraudsters who are experts in what they do.

Without knowing gron, I presume the dots are escaped/quoted properly, and you would do the same in your grep/awk usage.

What if your keys contain equal signs and curly braces, how will json help you out?

The structure of the data is preserved (I don't know what you mean with "notwithstanding its idiosyncrasies"). This is just a different, albeit redundant, but entirely equivalent representation of the same document. Despite their redundancy, denormalized representations do have advantages.

In the US, if you put your software in the public domain it is in the public domain. It is not a license. With a license, you are retaining your copyright. You're just allowing someone to use it in ways not ordinarily allowed by copyright. If something is in the public domain, you do not have a copyright. You can't even issue a license because you have no legal claim over the work.

In many other countries, it is not possible to voluntarily put works in the public domain. In those countries, you need to have a license. This is where something like CC0 is useful. CC0 has not been approved by the OSI as an open source license, but that's not really an issue. However, CC0 does not contain a patent grant and so it's probably not the best choice for software if you are looking for an open source license.

You’re making a different argument here then the person I replied to though. solarengineer was implying that WSL is a plot to extinguish Linux, which is ridiculous.

But that’s not saying that Microsoft is 100% trustworthy or that they will never do anything bad ever again. I’m only saying that the “sinister plan” for this one particular software component is to make Windows more useful to Unix-land developers, to try and get them to buy Windows PCs instead of the usual MacBook Pro. Notice how that explanation still assumes Microsoft is still doing it for their own financial benefit, but doesn’t require an agenda to destroy Linux. They have realized that this isn’t a zero-sum game.
