It would be nice if this price for accounting, not just for consumption, always included the negative externalities. At least this number would then be 2-5x+ as high.

The natural state of the world? There is no natural right to control the distribution of things that you publish. Copyright is an artificial privilege created for the sake of social engineering.

If one thing is certain it's the fact that there is no actual malice in the act, so calling it "malicious" is intellectually dishonest. Even labeling it as freeloading would be incorrect since there is no cost ("load") imposed on anyone else. It makes zero difference to the copyright holder's material wellbeing whether you obtain an unauthorized copy or just ignore the work altogether. It's understandable that people would like to be paid for nothing more than giving permission for something that doesn't actually affect them at all, but there's no just basis for it.

Obviously people should get paid for the labor involved in creating new works, to the extent that there is a demand for them. That does not in any sense imply that they should be able to control the distribution of works which have already been created and published. There are plenty of other models (including patronage, crowdsourcing, bounties, and work for hire) which would permit creators of works to get paid fairly without control over distribution. Copyright in general and DRM in particular are among the worst choices, not only because they are unjust but also because they impose massive negative externalities on the rest of society for relatively little gain.

The demographic argument is what I'm going with. MacOS is 18%, compared to Windows at 74% [1]. When comparing the mobile statistics, they're bouncing around 50%. The iOS pool would be a much larger pool to attack than MacOS, and for little financial benefit for Apple.

My prediction: If Apple opened the garden, even for a 'developer only' mode, I would imagine unregulated app stores would go up overnight, with wikihow articles on how to enable and install them, followed by a large amount of the technically illiterate (speaking from experience) trying to get free games, or 'add new emojis'.

There is a lot of specific data presented in the article, such as that women have higher writing standards, in the form of more revisions to publication. If we have concrete data that is only explainable via anti-female or pro-male bias, we should probably conclude that bias (sexism) is the primary cause for disparities in career progression. Other factors may also contribute to the effect, but arguing that sexism isn’t a primary factor, despite data showing sexism has a strong explanatory effect, is not much different from arguing that the world’s warming probably isn’t human caused because we’ve been coming out of an ice age regardless of human activity. While likely true, we have enough data to conclude that’s not the primary explanation for recent global warming.

Interesting! Any rules-of-thumb you can share about that process?
Glad to see this being worked on. The difference between a heap vs. runtime managed object is a huge perf gap for tightly interoperating JS and WASM. At my company, we built a specific object representation that would allow zero copy, through array buffer sharing, views of C++ data from Javascript. Sounds very similar to this.
I couldn't agree more. I learned so much from that interview, that literally no other interviewer would ever talk to James about. Besides beekeeping, they also talked about hunting and other outdoorsy stuff that I had no idea James did. That's what makes Rogan's show interesting to me.

>"Runways generally point in the wind direction, as aircraft take off and land more easily upwind. The designation of these is based on their respective alignment angles."

NO!!

This is exactly 180º wrong -- what generates lift on a wing is _relative_ airflow and thus pilots preferentially prefer to take off or land into a headwind -- which mimics speed "for free".

Likewise, tailwind landings are downright dangerous for the same reason, and each aircraft has strict (and low) limits for the maximum permitted tailwind. The illustration is exactly the other way around.
Those were actually what I was thinking of when I said Chrome handles profiles better. Firefox has the functionality, but it doesn't have as nice an interface to it. Chrome, for example, on MacOS puts the available profiles on the right-click menu on its dock icon.

This article has a lot of wrong or otherwise misleading information. One I haven't noticed in the comments so far is that the author refers to Chromium as being free and open-source. It isn't [0]. It downloads more Google account and activity tracking related blobs than ever when building the code as well.

While I agree with the gist of the article, this is worth pointing out since a lot of people do use Chromium because it is advertised this way, thinking that somehow they are not playing into the Chrome/Google monopoly. For those interested, there is an alternative build without all the google stuff baked in: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

The site seems to aim at providing a quick and easy way of accessing this information that is lower reliability than say, going and looking for each bit of info yourself.

So I see the value.

What I think you need to clarify and improve on is:
1- Making sure people understand that your info might not be perfect/100% accurate.
2- Provide links for people to verify any data points that are of particular value to them.

For example, on the US, there is a point about weed with the following answer: "In some states you can, in other it is illegal."

To be clear: even in states where it is legal, the Federal government considers it illegal, and your use of the substance even in a legal state will disqualify you from Visa eligibility. If you buy it and then lie, you are also breaking your Visa eligibility.

So, while your offhanded answer can be great for gathering a birds eye view on a lot of data points, users can't really place too much trust in the completeness or accuracy of any one answer.

Explaining this and linking to other sites for more in-depth info, like in the case of the USA VisaJourney.com - would great improve the usefulness of your site.

Basically, don't try to be an authority when you are not. Instead provide something that is missing; a better connection of high level, low accuracy info.

As it stands, I feel your site is more a danger to others for relying on it, than it could provide benefit.

Thank you for providing a perfect illustration of the is/ought fallacy. You are saying that copyright laws exist. I am saying that they should not exist because they are unjust and logically incoherent. These points are not in conflict. The fact that copyright is semantically different from ownership is the entire point. Ownership and exclusive control over physical property have a just and rational basis in scarcity. Copyright does not.
That's largely the point of the article, isn't it? That it's arguably its own species?

I think that their statistic of women being full professors being lower than the percentage of women assistant professors, highlights that women aren't promoted as much to higher levels. Full professors and assistant professors are in the same vocation, and I would doubt that someone (regardless of gender) who has spent decades in academia to become an academic wouldn't want to become a full professor.

There are a few problems with the swapping idea:

- People like to have ownership over their batteries (and the battery capacity)

- Logistics around swapping availability and costs

But the biggest one is:

- Charging continues to get faster and capacity continues to increase.

Whatever small amount of time is currently saved by swapping will be irrelevant by the time anyone could overcome the current obstacles to get something off the ground - it's a bad strategic bet.
Another benefit is initial page load times, if your page has a lot of JS it can take a pretty significant amount of time to parse it.

In truth I find your comment quite disingenuous since it is trying to force the burden of responsibility on end consumers - currently the market is strongly indicating a desire for renewables including the high demand for electric and hybrid cars and the fact that in a lot of areas consumers have actually put up with reusable grocery bag laws. Those are nothing but cost and inconvenience to the end consumers and yet it's become much more normalized, don't forget that charging for plastic bags twenty years ago would have driven a grocery store out of business.

There are pictures with Prince Andrew's arm around 16 year old Giuffre with Maxwell present. How many 16 year olds find themselves in that situation? The Lolita Express (Epstein's plane) had a bed installed in it. That's not normal. Flight logs put Giuffre on the plane with everyone she's accused. Epstein used Alan Dershowitz (also accused of molesting children with Epstein) to bury all of this information and killed himself when it came to light.

The accusations are not questionable at all.

The article states that different carcinogens do cause particular styles of mutation.

> Many carcinogens mutate DNA in distinctive ways: Sunlight, for example, creates a very different pattern of mutations than cigarette smoke. Murchison’s team found that CTVT contains a lot of those sunlight signatures, especially at lower latitudes, where the sun is stronger. For example, CTVT in Mauritius has more sunlight-induced mutations than the same tumor in Russia.
Other than plenty of anecdotal stories in personal conversations and on social media, none at all.

Considering Western countries are having to jack up immigration rates to make up the shortfall in reproduction, arguably contributing to a noteworthy increase in populism and racism (which does seem to greatly bother politicians and reporters), it seems odd that no one is interested in looking into the actual reasons for low birth rates.

The gist I get from OP's comment is that they are more frustrated with the generalized trend of "outrage culture", and referenced this Epstein story as a current example (despite being an ill-fitting one).

OP's point would probably resonate better with a different example, though the sentiment does bring up an interesting tangential conversation.

Feeding the fire is self-serving for many stories and comments once a controversial/multi-faceted story hits and the gates open. It's an easy way to get overly caught up in the weeds obsessing over the noise of a story that the signal gets drowned out. Those that have a vested interest in keeping a fire from extinguishing obviously want to add more kindling with "SHOCKING NEW DETAILS"-type stories that are less informationally relevant to the main events and more borderline conspiracy-theory or clickbait.
Is there anything wrong with a country monitoring the opinions which can be likened to propaganda that people are exposed to online? Every person's opinion is a form of bias, every country has its own law's but who is right? The biggest group of aligned points of view or minority groups with aligned points of view? Why would a tech company like Mozilla or Google want to undermine the legal system in a country?
For your second question: sadly, liberal and progressive views do little to combat innate biases. Every single person on the planet has some biases that they might fail to recognize and there've been some recent studies that showed students respect female professors less than their male counterparts and evaluate them lower overall. That's not some systemic hatred toward women, that's just a result of the way society views female educators.
For examples, look at these studies: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/ps-political-science...

It's almost impossible to give a meaningful answer to the first question. Asking people doesn't really answer the question because the meaningful version of the question is a nuanced counterfactual that would never really be asked in surveys. Lots of people would want to be professors under the right circumstances. If you make a career path that's needlessly precarious and and the only people who "want" to risk trying to have that kind of career are privileged people, then you could just throw up your hands and say "well I guess no one else wants to be a professor," or you could be honest about what people's motivations are and try to create a more humane system.

PA is in rather good shape now & it has capabilities its predecessors didn't. But it's very hard to get people to update their notions about something once it sets in.

No matter how much Microsoft tries, Windows will always be 'insecure, virus-ridden', macOS will always be super stable, beautiful, no matter how much Apple screws up & Linux will always be unusable on the desktop no matter how many decades I'll spend enjoying it on the desktop at home and at work.

Sadly, it seems a person's mind tends to naturally lean conservative and it takes a herculean effort to regularly update one's preconceived notions.
I don't know if this is helpful, but I'll mention it because it works well for me.

I use a Digital Ocean droplet and local forwarding.

Then setup my browser to use a proxy at localhost on [port]. Works great. You can get a "droplet", in Digital Ocean Parlance (i.e., "VPS") for as little as $5/mo, which includes 1TB/mo of data transfer. I assume other options like Linode, Vultr, etc would work as well.
