Because none of the software I want to run nor hardware I want to run is open source and there are no useful open source alternatives. AFAIK you can't use a Vive or an Oculus without proprietary drivers that spy on you. On top of which all the interesting content is also not open source. I don't actually mind paying for propretary software, especially entertainment software. I just care that now that all computers are networked nearly all software spies on you. Even an honest company is probably using 10, 20, 30 3rd party libraries which might also be spying on you.

Apple is in the music business though. If you combine "Apple" and some music business I think you can expect trouble.

In fact they (and Facebook, and others) are in so many businesses that any trademark they claim is going to have wide impact.
There are some amazing free VSTs out there. Also, 379€ is about the price you'd pay for a mid-level guitar. So if you're considering Ableton or Bitwig Studio your "instrument" it's reasonable.

(obviously, this analogy breaks under pressure; software still lacks the concrete permanence of a physical instrument)
Tangentially related: some conversations between a federal judge and federal prosecutors have been leaked to Gleen Greenwald in Brazil. On those conversations, they colluded in cases where the judge gave the prosecutors some leads on how to help make a case about a person, that happened to be an ex-president.

To no surprise, nothing has happened to them so far (it's been about 3 months since the first publication), but the journalist, who is only reporting, has been a target of several attacks, including some homophobic comments from the current president and president's family.

Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products, which came out in 2014, was written to help companies build healthy habits in their customers, like regularly going to the gym and eating right. But in the process of researching the book, I found that some products drew some people in too much. Including me.
Yeah, I cry every time I have to use some cheaper new rental car compared to my 15 year old bmw 3-series (not even m-series, just regular one with diesel engine on top of that).

Sluggish, puddy garbage of an experience compared to pure joy I can experience with my own.

I would say improvements were done to make things more cost-effective to increase margins, but not necessarily better cars per se.

Other things are with furniture I obtained with an older apartment - amazingly well built, can still hold together well after 50+ years. It was not luxurious back then, but would be definitely be luxurious now.
So you grew up in Italy - yeah I can see why you'd not want to be in the country side. I grew up in a town around Manchester and according to you that makes me some sort of country idiot? I had a great childhood and clearly ended up less bigoted than you.

None of which justifies the suffering of children.

That's exactly what most monotheistic religions promise.

All of this is just squirming to relativise the unjust - the extreme suffering of children.

Who decides what "value" is or what things should be values at? The whole point of money is to make unspecified commitments for future production. If you want direct exchange of value then you're bartering.

The only reason we ever decided on gold or silver as the store of value was because kings made it so.
From a global production perspective each time I look at the G500 vs. the F500 I'm reminded about the delta between the global economy and the United States.

this is correct, and the reason we are tolerant is because of dispersion: even though the different harmonics are present on the same string of the same length, the resonant frequencies don't need to be integer multiples of the fundamantal since waves of different frequency have different propagation speeds on the string.

in the case of bowed strings mode-locking ensures the phases of all the harmmonics are reset each cycle (the bow sticks and slips), so that bowed instruments can be played harmonically to parts per billion.

since a lot of sounds are plucking we must be tolerant for frequency dependent propagations speeds in regular strings / media

ICE engines are not innovating, it's true, but the context is not explained in your post. ICE engines are going to be replaced by electric motors, which are far simpler to maintain and source parts for, and are inherently (due to physics) much more energy-efficient. Given climate and potential revenues for new ICE R&D drying up, you're going to see all the research dollars in 1) batteries and electric drive-train, and 2) software like autonomy and infotainment and apps.
Hypothetically, the Core PCE would be a better metric of inflation, but Core Urban Consumer NSA CPI works pretty well.

It has some flaws, like failing to take into account new products or improvements in products, as well as being susceptible to swings in volatile food and energy prices. But Core CPI excludes the more volatile pieces and I think it’s a reasonably good indicator.

Perhaps my single biggest gripe with CPI is that it fails to properly reflect changes in housing prices, because of how infrequently people sell/buy their house, and because in some parts of the country nobody rents, so price discovery is a little wonky in those places.
I wonder how much child suffering you've indirectly (or even directly!) contributed to every day? Yet you are so ready to condemn a being who would merely allow said suffering.
Pixel camera is pretty amazing/magical. How is the camera app on the Moto G+?
Yeah it can. The keys are small, but it has velocity and aftertouch - it's nice and expressive. Build quality is good.
I agree with you in general. However, as others have already pointed out, Facebook wants to claim protection for a really (REALLY) wide range of goods/services. If granted, pretty much anyone selling software or hardware using "book" in its name might be vulnerable to bullying by Facebook's lawyers.

Typically, one just registers a word trademark for a very small number of service/goods classes (e.g., here's a registered trademark for "car" which only applies to certain medical devices and services [1]).

A large company trying to claim "book" for pretty much the whole Nice Class 9 is not normal behavior.

It's easier to remember example.com than example.app, so it matters in contexts where someone has to remember an URL. Imagine nike.get - sounds like a scam. Big serious brands have a .com. And now you have the association: if you have a .com then you're a big serious brand.

> Or prepend "get" or append "app" to the name to obtain the dot com TLD.
This is bad advice - always check if the word is trademarked. I learned it the hard way - I was running mentionme.app and mention.com sent me a cease and desist letter, since they own the word "mention".

Similarly Facebook sent a cease and desist letter to openbook.social.

Phone memory is terrible these days, I have a huge collection of Mp3s and wav files I don't want to give up, despite bluetooth stuttering at times in my car.

Putting low onboard memory on modern phones should be a crime when USB sticks with 128GB plus are selling for $15... They do that to boost streaming and data charges... It's like car makers intentionally putting a smaller gas tank in a car if carmakers also owned the gas stations.
>Isn't progressivism basically forcing people to change? Some might see that as a nearly violent act against their freedom. But really, what else is there to progressivism than "you must change"?

Does the above re-wording make the problem with your characterization more obvious? I hope that it is obvious that both "progressive" and "conservative" philosophies are qualified by necessary and persuasive reasons to do one thing or the other. You should not change the status quo unless there is a good reason to do so, changing things carries the risk of making the current situation worse. Obviously the reverse is also true, you should always critically assess the current status quo because it may not be working as intended or has outsized negative impact on certain groups/institutions and we should change it.

I think your sentence is needlessly inflammatory, you're essentially straw manning the idea of conservative when we should always do our best to assume good faith in hackernews commenters until proven otherwise.

People think that greed and an infinite backstop (the fed backing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guaranteeing ~50% of the US mortgages that these MBSes are made up of) is going to end any differently? I doubt it. It will just be bigger because the government mandated that they have larger reserves, they didn't mandate they change they way they think about capitalism or greed, etc.

If you had a VC behind you with trillions that would fund your every idea even after you burned many untold billions you wouldn't change your thought process either, it's no different here in my opinion. And that opinion might be jaded or unrealistic but I don't think I am that far off. I don't have much faith in the measures that have been taken to prevent another 2008 style crash.
The problem is that investors do not want to pay for independant research, particularly a rating where it would require the agency to do a lot of due dilligence on a transaction rather than simply rely on audited financial statements as they usually do for a regular company.

There is probably a name for this kind of "taking a 2D image, separating it into 2d cutouts, and panning with parallax". It's an effect that's been around for a while (hand done, not automated as you have it) but it's never been referred to as a "Ken Burns Effect"

Googling "How to make a parallax video from 2d pictures" brings up lots of tutorials, none of which mentions "Ken Burns Effect"

As yorwba pointed out, the inherent bias in your presentation of the facts is emblematic of the very propaganda your opponent, China, employs. If you employ the same tactics to achieve your political goals, are you really any different? What happens when your goals (presumably aligned with American goals), changes to something less justifiable like the Iraq war? If you employ the same tactics then whatever reason you have for the day can be thrown out the window because the real reason is political (it enriches yourself over others).

Actually some of us do. Just open the floodgates when it comes to what you're able to have access to.

Spending money enforcing prohibition feels less helpful than spending that same money on treatment of underlying issues or addressing other social problems that lead to drug use in the first place. Rather than criminalize the use behavior, which doesn't do anything to save lives in any real way, try to fix the actual problem rather than just sweep it under the rug of the criminal justice system.

Even as a trademark and not a copyright, I see at least one area requested which seems highly ambiguous:
"Software to enable accessing, displaying, editing, linking, sharing and otherwise providing electronic media and information via the internet and communications network"
Now, let's imagine a book publisher who wants to devise his proprietary software to display and share his books, I could imagine he would fear that this trademark would impair him to use the simple word "Book" to do so.
Same for Virtual Reality devices: if there is on day a VR adaptation of books, in which you could walk and interact with characters and follow the plot from within, the use of the word 'Book' would make sense for the collection (regardless of whether this is a good commercial idea or not), but what would be facebook reaction about that if they are granted the trademark, especially as they are quite involved in VR ?

"Economically support them" implies some misleading parent child relationship, where the parent can kick the kid out of the house for misbehaving.

This is more a dysfunctional couple relationship, where both sides are Co-Dependent. Its not just that they have a ton to loose, it's that they can't do any better without each other.

Google, to their credit, tried existing but look at where that story went. Some couples therapy is overdue but given the fear driven info flows on News and Social Media, it wouldn't be surprising for a Brexit like fiasco, which will hit the people at the bottom of the food chain more than anyone else.

Nothing is going to get fixed in the world until Social and News Media get regulated. All they do is produce Red Queen dynamics - keeping everyone running on fear treadmills without going anywhere.

This sounds like a swoftware written by an oldschool electrical engineer or something. I mean, in electromechanical systems that do not have computers, engineers find interesting ways to do more advanced things.

For example, ovens with clocks keep track of time through the grid frequency and if the grid frequency changes, the clocks diverge too.
It's difficult to accurately predict something that has never happened. Prime ARM delinquencies shot up to 10% in 2008 and eventually to nearly 20%. Subprime ARMs shot up to over 40% at their peak. Prior to that subprime ARMS delinquencies peaked at just over 10% at their worse.

The borrowers were different so there was really no precedent, but just a cursory review of historical data would make what we experienced highly unlikely.

I'm a bit disappointed to hear that. There is a magnificent plotline on the TV show Slings and Arrows, attempting to get a friend's skull made into a prop for use as Yorick in Hamlet. That's based on real life: various skulls are passed down in the theater tradition as possibly belonging to famous actors[1]. (On the show, they ended up using a disreputable taxidermist.)

I had a vague notion that some day my own skull might become part of the properties of my own theater troupe. It's probably a very bad idea and it's more than half a joke, but it's a bit disappointing to hear that it's not really possible.

To be fair Russia is huge. The climate varies pretty wildly depending on where in Russia you are.
I know it sounds strange, as it runs contrary to perceived wisdom on the subject. That is precisely why I question it.

I would place the origin of this thinking in the crusading social reform movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, or perhaps more broadly in Protestantism, and later, in emerging nationalist projects (with a few outliers of course).

I think it is important to examine the origins of our ideas on compulsory education, and the crucial questions of what purpose an education system actually serves, what purpose it should serve, and how its purpose has changed over time.

I would advocate a paradigm shift in how we think about education and its place in modern society. I am of course not the only person who advocates this, but I disagree with those who would carry on the tradition of imbuing education with a social and moral mission. I would not argue against the benefits of a broad humanistic education, or the necessity of technical and vocational education in an advanced economy, but rather point out that we collectively allocate a vast amount of resources to education, and place an almost religious faith in its value. The latter points are worthy of debate.

I could write a book on the subject, and I've read quite a bit in the area over the years. I'd really love to continue with the historical side of things, as well as my own suggestions and reflections, but it's too much to properly explain here.

Turning Dialogue Tracking into a Reading Comprehension Problem
Balkanization is about right. In my experience developing driver assistance systems, there are enormous efforts spent on political turf wars instead of proper design and engineering.

This is not surprising, as the team structures, at least as of a few years ago, were traditionally set up with tradtional manufactirng in mind, around parts and control modules, while the functionality exploded (within 1 or 2 generation of cars) and crossed those boundaries without adequate processes in place properly architect the interactions from a bird's-eye view, creating major computing power, network bandwidth, and most importantly to OEMs, cost bottlenecks.

And as cost is king, nobody wants to budge on increasing cost on their own module, and critical architectural decisions aren't made as much as put off until there isn't any other choice left except to hacking in the most critical bits with one eye closed and hoping somebody else's jenga tower falls first.

That, I imagine, is how you get that GPS time thing, I can see how it all started: "Oh, I can save $.30 on my module if I don't put in an RTC, that'll get me a nice bonus for cost saving, GPS is going to have one anyway ..."
1,600+ MB/s read on iPhone Xs NAND vs 90 MB/s read on an SDXC card. Of course the USB sticks and the like are cheaper, they're not comparable at all.
I'd guess they use GPS as ntp (rather than direct time source which as you note would dangerously fail in plenty of normal situations).

But since the infotainment already dealt with time, they just used that as a "system clock" straight, so without infotainment there's no "system clock" to be had.

Yeah. I think the underlying story is that doctors used to be more apprehensive about prescribing opioid painkillers, and when they did they prescribed lortabs or something like that for acute cases and they wouldn't put refills on or rewrite the scripts when asked. Then, along comes Purdue with a claim that OxyContin, because of its unique formulation, is a big addiction concern and is safe to prescribe for chronic pain. Then they (and a couple other manufacturers) basically conducted a successful campaign to convince doctors that undertreatment of chronic pain was widespread and they were basically letting their patients suffer, strongly suggesting that this may be considered malpractice in the future if they do not start prescribing more opioids. This campaign was very smart and even reached the doctors who refuse to take incentives from drug manufacturers. Essentially, in the way that Pfizer created a new category of concern in the mind of patients with Viagra, Purdue did the same in the mind of doctors with OxyContin.

Lo and behold, people are addicted to OxyContin, some start looking for more immediate-relase formulations of opioids because they don't feel right even on 80mg Oxy tablets, and hundreds of thousands who otherwise would have been alive with chronic pain are now dead of overdose. Meanwhile, research is showing that opioids are not very good for chronic pain and other approaches, usually multimodal approaches, are better, including NSAIDs, gaba-ergic drugs like gabapentin and pregabalin, ketamine, physical therapy, psychological retraining, meditation, acupuncture, etc.
