> You have the right to license public domain images. Anyone does.

Huh? If it's in the public domain, you don't own it, because nobody owns it. And if you don't own it, and don't have permission to sublicense from the owner (which you can't since there is no owner), how can you have the right to license it?

I agree that you have the right to sell public domain content, if you can convince anyone to buy it (and apparently lots of people can indeed be so convinced). But I don't think anyone has the right to license public domain content.

> What might be illegal is if they said that you can't make a copy of this image without their license. However, I don't believe that they say this

From what I can gather, they have sent demand letters to people who originally created public domain content they claim to license, telling those people that they can't use the content on their website.
I'm surprised this doesn't mention the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and the work done by Paul Kay & Willett Kemptom to test this with color labels. Basically it found that the presence of labels on colors influenced the decisions speakers of different languages, with different lexical entries for colors, made when categorizing colors in the presence of labels. However, absent labels, the decisions made became more "absolute" with respect to the color spectrum and less subjective, and different language speakers' decisions began to match each other. [0]

C'mon, dude. You know what is meant by "USB"--that it is, effectively, "not USB-C".
Especially when driving. Super thin, low contrast lines with hardly any labels at a weird angle make trying to read the map while driving super frustrating.

I have a Garmin unit mounted on my car windshield that comes on with the ignition, and the user experience is just so much better. The route lines don't blend in with the background and it has large labels that are actually readable. The low angle of the 3D map actually lines up with the view through the windshield, which compresses a decent amount of roads into a small space. Even the spoken directions are better (I've used British English Daniel for years, and I rarely notice when someone speaks in a British accent).

I don't often set a route, so it mostly functions as an always-present map, which it does exceptionally well. I especially like the banner at the bottom that shows the road I'm currently driving on and the banner across the top that shows the next cross street.
Me and the other guy. I am Victor Grishchenko, PhD. At the time, we had a CRDT based sync engine which we white-labelled to Yandex. We had been eager to work with Evernote cause all their sync issues have been very clear to us.

These days, even Apple Notes syncs with CRDTs... at the time, it was cutting-edge.

P.S. Please never let me feel that my response is more polite than necessary.
Brings back memories of the little "ten liner" games and other toys in Electron User magazines and similar.

Sometimes one-liner examples (it was surprising how much you could squeeze out of 253 bytes of BBC Basic).

Anyone with back-issues of that bread of magazine from back then has a little trove of inspiration for this sort of thing.

You can do a lot with small amounts of code, especially if you allow the use of complex libraries and only count the include() & calls in the byte-/character-count rather than including the whole size of the library.
Sounds like Thinkpads are not as reliable as they once were. Should I look elsewhere? Is this different for other Thinkpad models?
the removal of the escape key (I'm a vim user)

To overcome this keyboard limitation in vim, Control-[ maps to ESC for programs which respect ASCII codes (Terminal and MacVim are two examples). In combination with swapping Caps Lock and Control (via System Preferences), I have found the need for an explicit ESC key greatly mitigated.

I’m about ready to give up :-)

The potential energy in the water at the top of the mountain gets eaten away as it flows downstream whether there is a hydro dam or not, due to the massive friction of the water flowing downstream.

This is what I mean by terminal velocity of the river. The water does not just keep speeding up and speeding up as it flows downstream.

At first the water starts to flow faster, and indeed it is converting potential energy into kinetic energy. But as the water starts to flow, the kinetic energy starts getting sucked out through massive amounts of friction in the flow. Ever hear a river roaring? That’s the audio track of massive amounts of kinetic energy draining out into the surrounding earth. (A frictionless river would flow silently)

As the water keeps speeding up as it flows downstream it reaches a point where the friction is costing as much energy as the elevation drop is adding. Terminal velocity. At that point, every foot of elevation drop keeps the river flowing but does not increase net kinetic energy in the river.

Take one kilogram of water and pour it down a chute at the top of a 100 foot high drop.

Take another kilogram of water and pout it down a 200ft high chute. A 1,000ft high chute.

At the bottom of the chutes we measure the speed of the water. You will find the water is flowing at exactly the same speed in all three cases. Why?
> Higher math isn't harder arithmetic, it's increasingly more abstract and sometimes doesn't even involve numbers. A student with their times tables down isn't going to do any better in a calculus course than one who relies on a calculator.

IMHO, that's wrong in many cases. For instance: there's arithmetic in algebraic manipulations, and a lot of that is in the times-table memorization range. I definitely had to rely on my calculator in calculus class (and specifically swapped professors to one that would allow the use of one for that reason).

There's also the fact that neglecting memorization as a "waste of time" at the start of your math career sets up a bad precedent and bad habits that will continue throughout it, barring substantial corrective effort.

I, personally, only stopped having problems due to my deficit when I got to discrete math, which was the one math class I took that didn't involve numbers, like you said.
I searched a variety of archives and found exactly zero articles about the energy policy of Idaho in the last five years. Are you sure you didn't just ... make this up?
I usually recommend Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to people who have trouble finding enjoyment in/motivation to exercise.

* There's a point--learning how to use your body/leverage.

* It's social. There will be fellows to motivate you to train consistently. You might even make a few friends.

* There's progression. Whether belts, tournaments, or just being about to beat your training partners improvement is pretty noticeable.

A gym membership is ~$100-200/mo. There are bad gyms. Make sure not to commit too early and try others if you don't like the environment.
I wish GPUs had evolved to be, essentially, CPUs with some specialized graphics-related instructions instead of the fixed-and-parallel soup that modern GPUs are (and i see Nvidia's RTX cores as a regression on that front, GPUs should become more generic, not more specialized). I am sad that Intel's management screwed Larrabee.

The only hope i have for the future is that CPUs will evolve to manycore designs that can realistically support software rendering on hundreds of threads. But we're still far from this.

It never had a name :( I was 14 and £25 for the compiler seemed like a dream (the ZX-Spectrum was borrowed). I did
a demo when the basics worked and they stated that the whole company was now dedicated to the new MSX standard. Given the effort that I'd put in (written in Z80 on squared paper then optimised on squared paper using Z80 manual), most of which went into the graphics engine (the speccy had a fun screen layout), I decided I knew better and bought myself the ideal dev machine - a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memotech_MTX - Built in Z80 dev environment. Graphics and sound chips. Proper keyboard! God I loved that thing. Never finished that game....

More than that, I hate that they got rid of the charge indicator on the cable, which they easily could have kept even with USB-C charging. The old-old MacBooks with the 5 dot battery indicator were awesome, I hate having to pick up my laptop, open it, wait for the screen to turn on and then wait for the OS to update the power indicator in the status bar. That used to be visible from across the room with the old cable.

In fairness, it's a 22 minute long article..
No, blame the movie studios, record labels etc. They're the one which require asinine DRM support for web browsers. Google/Microsoft/Apple/Adobe want to support media content, but to do so requires towing the line with the media companies otherwise they refuse to license the content (at least in HD+).

Having worked with various DRM teams I know that they have to treat their code as if its the most secret code in the world, if they don't the media companies can swoop in and ban them and then no Netflix for your users. This is why Widevine code isn't open source (other than the glue EME code) and is almost certainly the reason for the refusal to work with a small open-source form of Chromium. If for example the project was used to "steal" content the media companies would be mad at Widevine, with lasting repercussions for all Chrome users.

It's worth noting that typically all DRM teams work as if the hosting environment is an adversary. For example Widevine don't trust anything Chrome says as someone could recompile it and lie about the security. The only times this is relaxed is where the platform is deemed secure, such as CrOS or iOS.
FYI I edited my comment since you replied, I wasn't done with my train of thought yet :)

Seems like I'm on the same page with you then. I don't really see a way to codify all of the peripheral open source associations in a legal document. A lot of it is very...ad hoc.

Yes there are many more examples not widely known where Google is abusing their monopoly.
Firebase fcm push notification system is a good example.
If you want to implement your own push notification service on android phones. Well too bad. Only Google is allowed to have special privileges so that their firebase service on phones works even when a phone is in doze mode.
If you run into firebase quota issues like our company is having it is just too bad.
Let's imagine a field. A holy place. People flock for miles, pay the land owner handsomely to visit the field.

A judge says that everyone has a right to take a single photo of this field for their collection - no more than that. The land owner disagrees.

We're not saying that the land owner should be forced to provide small organza bags for the visitors to carry their cameras around with them; but posting armed guards at all the entrances with metal detectors, automatedly initiating legal action on anything that looks like a camera and then trying to tell the user it's for their own good... well, this should at the very least be discouraged by the community, no?

I've been designing semiconductors for 23 years. This article is 17 years old and I haven't seen any clockless designs in my professional experience in all of that time.

About 1/3 to 1/2 the power usage is leakage and I don't see how a clockless design will help that. We dynamically lower the voltage and have power islands for unused or lesser used portions.

nbingham makes a great point about the tools. We have invested billions of dollars in tool flows. We are not going to throw that away until we see some proof that clockless designs are better in some measurable ways.
With what side effects, short term and long-term? How about resistance or dependecy?

I don't think your premise is correct. There have indeed been a lot of environmental scares (ozone layer, acid rain, ..., which were fortunately fixed with international effort), but mainstream climate science has if anything been far too conservative. For example, we're at the upper end of climate model ensembles from just ten years ago.[0]

> Google, the creators of the open source browser Chrome, won’t allow DRM in an open source project.

Chrome is not an open-source browser. Chromium is, and Chromium doesn't have Widevine support.

Download and sandbox the Widevine binary blob the same way that Firefox does. Done.
No such thing as good DRM. All DRM is broken by design, and exists to take your rights away. Never make excuses for this garbage software. DRM must die.
Of course, as a matter of contract law, you can grant a license to use your patents to anyone who uses your open source product under the terms of your chosen license. The question here is whether, by making your software available as open source, your patent rights are exhausted in any copies of that software, even in the absence of such a patent license.

What Impression Products says is that the contractual arrangement between buyer and seller doesn't matter. Exhaustion is something that arises by virtue of patent law when a specific item is sold into the stream of commerce. In theory, that should work both ways. You can't use the software license to narrow the scope of patent exhaustion, and by the same token, just because the license gives you a broad right to copy the software, that shouldn't have any bearing on the scope of exhaustion.

(* This is all assuming that exhaustion even applies to software. Impression Products has an interesting line, where it distinguishes patent licenses, where you can impose restrictions on the scope of the license, from sales of patented products, where you cannot: "Because the patentee is exchanging rights, not goods, it is free to relinquish only a portion of its bundle of patent protections." Patent exhaustion is really bound up in this ancient idea of the law disfavoring "restraints on alienation." That is to say, you can't sell someone a piece of land, but only on the condition that the land can't be resold. Software, however, is generally licensed and not sold, and that includes software under open source licenses. The GPL v.2, for example, states:

> However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

If receiving a copy of GPL'ed software as considered a "sale" the above wouldn't be true. Under the first sale doctrine, you are entirely free to modify a purchased copy of a copyrighted work free of any further restrictions from the copyright owner. E.g. cases have upheld the right of buyers of art to create a derivative work by cutting it up and mounting the pieces on tiles. And, in theory, you should be able to resell your modified copy of the work too.

Impression Products strongly suggests that, where you're talking about receiving licenses to use, copy, and create derivative works of software, rather than sale of a physical good including software, there is no patent exhaustion.)
In theory I’d agree, but in practice agile is _always_ just a source of metrics so that middle managers can create Dutch Books out of project outcomes.

I read a good way of putting it once, “when everyone misuses a tool, beyond a certain point, it’s the tool’s fault.” I think this fits the realities of agile well.

Separately a lot of people will look at this or that pathological issue in agile and say that’s not “real” agile, ignoring that this is just a No True Scotsman fallacy by which you’d vacuously define agile as “all good things” or something.

The main pathology I’ve seen in agile (across half a dozen companies, large & small, with or without formal agile training, etc.) is that it is paradoxically highly inflexible. If certain research tasks need to be a 4-week deep dive that cannot be chopped up into separate tickets on a sprint cadence and cannot be time-boxed, there’s no way to handle it (this happens all the time on research teams).

If one team needs to work on a 3-week cycle all summer instead of the company-wide 2-week cycle, it can’t be done. If there is no way to estimate some points for a certain task, you still are forced to go through the motions and fabricate misleading numbers anyway.

Even the core agile manifesto has to be ignored sometimes. Sometimes sticking to the plan actually is more important than responding to change, and you have to turn down business or tell customers no even if it costs you.

Agile can be used well. It’s just exceedingly rare that it is, to such a degree that we need to admit something’s wrong with agile itself given how easy it is to subvert agile into a bad system.

At this point a lot of people reply by saying, well what alternative is there? I don’t like this because it presumes there has to exist some named alternative that doesn’t suffer agile’s limitations, but no such official method has to exist and that doesn’t mean agile should be used.

Instead, just use some mixture of common sense and planning based on the specific personnel working on the project, their preferences and styles, and randomly stealing things from agile or waterfall or whatever else on an as-needed bases. Don’t give it a name.
This is a ridiculous article. The housing market in Japan is drastically different than the US. Notably most people don't live in nor buy used houses. When you buy a house it's with the intent to tear it down and build a new house.

The houses are built cheaply with minimal insulation and no internal air (every room is heated/cooled independently, if at all, often with gas burning heaters that emit the exhaust directly into the room). When the wind blows it blows through the building. Houses don't last more than a few decades and are torn down. Houses are depreciating assets in Japan, like cars.

Edit: Yes we need to deregulate and dezone housing laws, especially in major metropolitan areas in the US, however that's not what causes Japanese housing to be cheap. It's apples and oranges and different expectations among the populace on what a house even is.
