Agreed. The only major problems right now are alternative clients and anti-cheat engines (many of which inject themselves into the Windows Kernel, yeah...) not working. Seems Valve may be leaning on publishers to fix that though.[0]

I thought copyright had been extended long enough that they don't need to do that? For example you don't see the same thing quite so much with other genres of music and music of the same age in those scenes haven't fallen into the public domain.

(this is a question rather than statement)
I think the idea is that given enough users, the bugs who will be encountered by non-fixers will also be encountered by fixers so they'll be fixed, otherwise they are so rare as to not be worth the effort of wasting time with useless non-fixer reports to find the useful non-fixer ones.

I'm not sure how i feel about that TBH, personally i'd like to know about bugs even if they do not come with patches but at the same time i understand not wanting to be bothered by wading through useless reports.

Perhaps there should be end user oriented bugtrackers that look more similar to something like a hybrid between a forum and a reddit/HN post with voting (no downvotes though, kinda like GOG's wishlists) so that developers will have a rough idea where to focus next and "locked" (but perhaps visible, at least for FOSS projects) traditional bugtrackers where end user entries migrate (and linked to) once developers decide that this will be worked on.

It wont solve all issues, especially with people potentially going "why aren't you fixing that bug-but-really-a-feature-that-requires-rearchitecting-the-entire-thing that has 897482959204 votes and instead work on whatever-else that Nobody Asked For(tm)?", but i guess you can't fix entitlement with technical means.

There are specific measures in place to protect you from your registrar closing or refusing to do business with you.

If you can't afford a few dollars a year for your domain name, you likely have bigger problems. If ICANN disappears, we all have bigger problems.

Your solution is interesting, however hosting other people's content is fraught with danger. If I ran such a host, I'd assume within minutes I'd be hosting potentially illegal content. How would your system prevent that?

> It's a local maxima that is good enough and it happened for historical reasons.

That's my exact point. It's textbook path dependency.
> what if my registrar closes, or refuses to do business with me, or if I can't afford it anymore

If your register closes, most likely someone will buy them out with the customers. I can't imagine a registrar going bankrupt - that would require serious skills in mismanagement.

If they refuse to do business, there's a good chance you can file a dispute with someone (depending on a country) to recover the domain. (Not 100% certain, but possible)

For affordability... just choose something cheap. If you can't afford $12 / year, you likely have bigger problems then your online services being unavailable.

But regarding better solutions - ipfs is definitely good. There's also i2p/onion if you're ok with much smaller/dedicated reach. Or use the free credits on some large provider like AWS / gcp. You can host a lot as static content on S3 for ~free.
If they're making money from ransomware they have no incentive to stop or prevent ransomware. Being the English speaking liaison for ransomware isn't really that different from being an accomplice after a certain point, they both get their cut as long as the industry is booming.
Startup employees largely have better working conditions (even those who let themselves get conned into unpaid overtime) and softer landings. I remember a retrospective on a photo-sharing startup did the rounds a couple of years ago: it was a failure as a business but the developers were well-paid and able to walk into fresh software jobs at a good salary.
If you want your media to be readily available despite your limited bandwidth the answer is torrent. If you still want to have control on who does what, then you're out of luck.

That any discussion of your potential customers "inside" the office, purely between people in your company, is highly to entirely speculative. You've got to get "out" of the office and sell your product, or not, to know. Hence the emphasis on having a Minimum Viable Product as soon as possible to know if there's real demand for it, and at what price.
Perhaps. I have heard they also master differently for vinyl since it can't provide the same dynamic, frequency, or stereo range as digital. Some listeners find the result more appealing.

Great discussion here, both about FB and G! There are trade offs between getting valuable services in exchange for user data vs. not wanted to live in a dystopian future (or, are we already almost there?)

It seems like an almost impossible optimization problem (for me) to balance wanting my country to be competitive in developing useful future AI and other tech to solve health, climate, resource, etc. problems, and, protecting people’s private information.

I am positively biased in favor of FB and G for personal reasons: I have been working in the field of AI and ML since 1982 and my recent work has been spectacularly helped by frameworks and pre-trained models released by G and FB.

I want a future world of combined privacy and tech-fueled hyper productivity. I just don’t know how to get there. I act consistently for these two goals but I have no control over how other people act, nor do I want to dictate what other people do. I think the best we can all hope for is some large degree of personal sovereignty over our own individual lives.
No, actually most countries that use nuclear power don't reprocess. Some send their waste to France to be reprocessed, but even that is becoming a problem. France's reprocessing effort is (they have admitted) a net economic loss. It doesn't reduce the cost of waste disposal, it increases it. And when France reprocesses someone's waste, like Japan, they send back the plutonium. Japan now has enough reactor grade Pu to make thousands of bombs. It's not ideal for making bombs, but it can be made to work.

For Japan, reprocessing has been a kind of plausibly deniable nuclear proliferation. They have the material to become a nuclear armed nation in a big way, and quickly, should they ever decide to do that.
Unfortunately, you really can't solve these kinds of questions with the full on deterministic approach. The world is big, speed limits change, databases have to be updated.

Google maps was (dangerously in the winter) directing people to an old road, into mountains after a new one had been built. It took national news, and several months of attempts to get them to update it.

The just build a big very accurate database approach is the one I would absolutely guarantee will never work.

More genetics than genomics, but a cool introduction [1]!

There's a lot of subtlety in genomics analysis, and learning about all of it is a deep dive into chemistry, biology, and statistics, as well as a lot of literature search.

One fun fact about this is that most of the data in genomics is some form of a plain text table. As this makes interoperability between different programs easier. Many people have tried to make this more efficient, but their application is usually only limited to very specific use cases.

That rule doesn’t apply to giant sophisticated companies that process a lot of transactions and have detailed rules, lengthy contracts or fare fules and so on like airlines or car rental companies. The CC companies are going to give them the benefit of the doubt in a different way.

To add to the useful technical descriptions people have given, here are some real world types of power plant to consider with typical capacity factors and explanations:

A real world fusion power plant ("nuclear") basically runs as close as they can to 100% flat out 24/7 so their capacity factor is the fraction of the time their plant is not undergoing maintenance, refuelling or other disruptions. They might have a 95% capacity factor. They do this because their fuel (e.g. uranium) is so cheap compared to the cost of owning a power plant that it always makes sense to make electricity at any price.

An old-fashioned coal plant uses relatively expensive fuel, coal, which somebody has to be paid a lot of money to dig out of the ground and transport to them. It also costs money to clean the smoke from the plant so that it's less toxic as required by environmental laws in most places. Their plant could achieve nearly the same ratios as the fusion plant, but it would only make sense to do that if electricity was very expensive - when prices are low the plant idles, since running it would cost more than you'd earn selling electricity. As a result capacity factor might be 10% or lower at an older coal plant. This is why nobody (to a first approximation) is building new ones.

The photovoltaic solar plant produces "free" electricity when the sun shines. It's fairly low maintenance, and so basically you get a capacity factor that depends almost directly on how much the sun shines. When it's cloudy or the sun is low in the sky it produces much less power, at night it produces nothing. Capacity factor for such a plant may be about 20%.

Electricity from a Wind turbine is also nearly free. Sometimes it runs at night, but it's even less predictable. July is always good for PV panels in the North, but this July might bring a whole month of calm winds or several epic storms for the wind turbines and we've no way to know. Capacity factors for a particular turbine depend on location a lot, but 30% as here would be fairly typical.

Modern Combined Cycle Gas turbines again could hit a fairly high capacity factor, but since operating them is far from free (gas is cheaper than coal, but not THAT much cheaper) they are used to make up the difference between demand and cheap supply because they can be "spun up" quickly and you can quickly build as many as your country needs if you have a way to feed them gas. So in practice you might see 50% capacity factor but that could fall a lot if storage (for the cheaper renewals and fusion) undercuts it.
Because many people believe it is a 100% improvement, plan/budget accordingly, and then look for help.

As far as silicon/power it is nice, but IIRC (I am not involved in purchasing anymore) it used to cost over 50% in USD for those 20% in performance when you non-HT parts were common.
Often there is a widely held, low-resolution understanding of the constitution, and when you get into the high-resolution details there are exceptions that seem like the complete opposite of the widely held understanding.

For example, a naive reading of the commerce clause would say the fact Congress can regulate commerce among the states would not apply to a farmer growing wheat to feed animals on his own farm. But surprise! Wickard v. Filburn [1] says that counts as interstate commerce.

Likewise, the low-resolution understanding of the fifth amendment is that you can't be forced to testify; and the low-resolution understanding of being granted immunity for something is you can't be sent to jail for reasons related to it. And yet, here we are.

A lot of Americans like the constitution - so much so, everyone in congress and the military and suchlike swears an oath to uphold and defend it. When people see these things that are a reversal of what they understand the constitution to say, it's understandable they don't like it.

It's not so much eliminated, so much as we can reprocess a lot of what we now have as "waste".

Yes, it still involves possibly polluting reagents (some common reagents are the same as in microchip production, btw). However, it enables use of different types of reactors and different total economy of nuclear power generation.

The end result is that properly managed, you can limit remaining waste as well as extend usability of each kilogram of fissile material several times.

Reprocessing of waste is also how several crucial isotopes are produced - for example, Canadian CANDU reactors are famous for producing important resources for medicine (radiation sources mainly). Similarly, Polish research reactors near Warsaw partially pay for their upkeep by reprocessing the spent fuel into medical isotopes and weapons-grade plutonium (which is then milled with uranium into MOX fuel for civilian reactors)
So, do you buy each song separately digitally or physically? Also, after buying, how do you move it to your setup? For physical copies (CDs or Vinyls), do you rip and convert them to .flac or .mp3? For digital, do you remove the DRM?
And yet, you have not explained how reducing regulations is going to be done without also reducing safety.

Regulations get added because new accident scenarios come to light, often due to near misses in existing plants. So one would expect a regulatory ratchet effect over time, even with perfect rational regulation.

It's interesting to compare fission to another area of technology that has achieved high reliability in the face of accidents: commercial air travel. There, safety has been achieved on a pile of corpses. Aircraft are reliable because we've crashed so many of them over the decades and learned what not to do. And we can do that because society accepts the occasional smoking pile of aircraft and passenger fragments. And even there, when regulation eases off, safety suffers. Look at the recent experience at Boeing.

I don't think society would tolerate the string of meltdowns that would be needed for the same kind of natural reliability growth in nuclear.
Yes, this is a deep subject and "Genetics" is indeed the correct term. Our company is called "Genomics" because of the origins of the founders in the Oxford stats department and Big Data Institute.

> Crosby explained that a registry would still be needed to handle the naming of images, but the content address blobs could be transferred from one machine to another without the need to directly interact with the registry. In the P2P model for image delivery, a registry could send a container image to one node, and then users could share and distribute images using something like BitTorrent sync.

I believe this is the basic concept of Uber's Kraken project: https://github.com/uber/kraken

I think it's a really clever idea, but I can also predict that a lot of enterprise companies will hear "bittorrent" and nope their way out of it.
Well We had a main Board member as a sponsor and another Board member "Bruce Bond" who was very interested.
The problem of the "pay back" is that the CO2 they emit is still in the air: the mill does not absorb CO2.

In addition there are different ways to compute a "pay back":

- you may compare the e-kWh production and the fossil-kWh spent to build... Certainly pointless but useful to display short "pay back" durations.

- you may compare your electricity production with the production of the nearby fossil-plant that you pretend to avoid... More realistic, but your project will have different "pay back" depending on the neighborhood you consider (immediate neighbor, regional mix, national mix...).

I can understand such computations in the transition stage where we are, but in the end, each project should be considered for its own [electricity production]/[fossil emissions] ratio across its construction and lifespan.

Missing my 160GB iPod Classic honestly. But nowadays oddly enough Google Play Music has most of the music I want and when they dont as OP does I upload them. One thing I do is buy the music and download it locally. Google Play Music gives me proper high quality MP3s compared to Apples m3a or whatever those were.

Licensing deals are stupid. Also I do see smaller artists on Google Play Music being lumped together with half a dozen other smaller artists. I cant believe how broken that is and sometimes the artists songs I am looking for doesnt show up cause they dont even show albums featuring that artist in their album listing.
Presumably the solution is to harden the OS rather than reinvent the wheel and leave all other applications vulnerable...
I think people are missing the point - his point is simplicity. This is actually why I've stopped buying albums and switched entirely to streaming internet radio like di.fm. I spent way too much time and effort managing my mp3 library over the years. (ripping, tagging, file naming, album art, etc)
