The use case that I did personally hit a couple of times is old, out of print books. They were relatively inexpensive (say, $10-$15 at publication 30 years ago), but did not publish a lot of copies. Thus my choice is between getting free digital scans off hobbyist sites (I guess also known as those evil "pirates") or searching for an occasional seller on ebay asking $200 for a copy of unknown quality. Can I afford $200 for a copy? Yes. Will I pay it? Not so sure, sorry. My 2c.
I'm not sure if I'm feeding a troll by replying, but I genuinely don't understand your comment. I would ask a question but it's more that the whole thing seems incoherent. Could you try to explain it to me in different words?

There can be a lot of reasons why a study is terminated before they hit full enrollment.

They might be looking for very specific types of patients that are just really hard to find.

Or, there may be plenty of patients out there, but the consensus is that the likelihood of the drug working is so low that doctors are recommending to patients they don’t enroll.

I’m guessing it’s the 2nd and it’s just another nail in the coffin for this program as clinical trial delays add a ton of costs.

I thought this would be about the Cambrian Explosion but that is 541m years ago, and this alleged asteroid blew up 466m years ago according to the article. Both periods, The Cambrian Explosion and the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) are periods with strong biological radiation as can be seen on the 1st graph here: https://www.fossilhunters.xyz/fossil-classification/images/1...

The Cambrian Explosion is replaced by the 'Cambrian Plateau' (not a canonical name), and the GOBE comes after. The Ordovician animals were the first to evolve jaws (in Gnathostomata/jawed vertebrates). This happened about 462m years ago, so perhaps we can thank a 93 mile asteroid that blew up 466m years ago for our ability to chew?

They found a pretty interesting dataset, it seems, relating various isotopes. It's a pitty the article don't go into details on the chemical signature that convinced the scientists that leftovers of an asteroid rained down on Earth.
I am not. Manually issuing rebranch is too slow for any git histories over a few hundred. You'd then also have to find which commits you want to merge, merge them and so on and on. Rebranch basically works if you just want to fix one mistake in history you know you have.

Bat works the same way as ls when it's being piped. But it has better default features than cat, the syntax, numbers and the pager. if the file doesn't fit the screen, it becomes paged, so you don't have to do the whole: `cat file.txt` (too big), `view file.txt`
Well, this used to be why it's legal to download, because of that tax. Then the European court of justice came along and went "oh no that's not how this works" and then downloading was suddenly illegal without a change of law by elected leaders. I don't get why we still have the tax, but compensation for downloading was actually the purpose.

There is a lot of work that needs to be done to take a drug from "this works in a Petri dish" to "this is something that you can be prescribed for treatment." Empirically, about 90% of the compounds that start at that first level fail to make it to the last level. It also seems that academia is not any better than pharmaceuticals at either developing the first step or pushing something to the end.

I'm a bit puzzled how you've ended up with a system where you can't access email remotely. That probably took a lot more time than just creating a gmail account or even using your own domain but hooking it up to google for all the boring stuff (like, uh, making it available remotely). Although you mention "private" email so perhaps you also have "public" email which you can access - i'm not sure how I'd configure mail servers to deal with that. Back when I wasn't confident accessing email via random internet cafes etc from my phone I created several accounts and have stuck to that system; some accounts i only access when i'm sure it's safe, and others - not used for banking etc - i couldn't care less about and use from anywhere.

DWave builds machines they say are great for that kind of problem. I would assume, since they are not general purpose quantum computers, this represents a subset of what general purpose quantum machines would be good at.

I used to work for a place where, during the 60 or 90 day check-in with HR after you got hired, HR would put a hard sell on you to write a Glassdoor review.

It had the effect of flooding it with 4 and 5 star reviews from people who hasn't been around long enough to see any downsides to their job.

Meanwhile, as the company began imploding, the folks jumping ship mostly didn't bother to write a 1 star review on the way out.

First of all, the Wayback machine may have captured the thieving site as well as the victim one. Of course, if you are going to make false copyright claims, you'd better set your robots.txt to exclude archive.org first.

Second, if you do manage to dispute and get a day in court, how would the thief prov they owned the material, if the actual content creator had proof of the date of authorship? Eg tweet a hash, photograph with newspaper headline, etc? Can court costs be recovered after proof of a false takedown?
This presupposes that all money, and in general all resources, including labor, belongs to the state (or society) except that which is explicitly allowed to people.

While that is a coherent point of view, it has some really unpalatable implications. The first one is that the assumption that society owns everyone's labor until proven otherwise is a great justification for various forms of effective slavery. The second one is that taking your "useful to society" statement at face value leads to things like the eugenics movements of the early 20th century, withholding (or confiscating) resources from those deemed "useless" to society, etc.

But even within this framework, making more money than you spend corresponds to producing more resources for society's benefit than you consume, and thereby building up a sort of "social credit". You then draw on this credit later in life (e.g. in retirement). It seems like the main claim you are making regarding inheritance is that this sort of social credit should not be transferable, right?

But that raises the question of whether people be able to give gifts to someone else at all. In this framework the answer is basically "no", because that would represent a transfer of the non-transferable social credit. But if they _should_, then should there be a substantive difference between a gift given 10 minutes before someone has a heart attack and receiving the same gift 20 minutes later? From an ethical point of view, I have a hard time with there being a difference between those two cases.
That is 3 years ago, is it surfacing now as a smear campaign? I am becoming very sceptical to any piece of news nowadays, and very picky of my sources of info.

chans are completely open, uncenssored forums - from either side - not even remotely similar to what I'm advocating for.

I have never once seen on The_Donald, even before their quarantine, any highly voted posts or comments advocating violence. The moderators regularly release transparency reports that show exactly all the things that they remove and their have been plenty of instances of people creating alts to post inflammatory things to get them in trouble. The vast majority of users condemn violence of any kind other than lawful self-defense.

I also see plenty of openly LGBT people on there, and they are just as welcome in the forum as anyone else.
This attitude is amazingly shortsighted and revisionist. Presumably you also take issue with Edison, Westinghouse, and Tesla? Why didn't those idiots choose renewables like wind and solar when commercializing electricity?

I think "torrents are more convenient" is also about people who would have bought the product.

Example: lots of people I know torrented Game of Thrones because paid services were actually worse. Things like HBO Go stuttered depending on internet connection -- and in one of the season premieres, the service was unavailable -- while torrents offered Full HD quality with no surprises.

Another consideration is when you're paying for Netflix but it doesn't have all the seasons of a series yet. So people torrent the episodes even when they are already paying for a streaming service: torrents are more convenient. They get all the content when they want it, and with high quality too.
It's not just that east Asia is not much welcoming to immigrants, also the opportunities offered are much different.
In addition if you have to move away with your family/from your people 1000km you might as well just move them 7000 more and be in a country which also speaks English and that offers social programs, free studies and other benefits.
Economics puts huge focus on material development, less so on health, culture or well-being. Your example is actually quite illustrating. When you do not have local politicians trying their best to keep their region relevant and populated, only those people who cannot leave for better opportunities remain. Within a city this means having ghettos, within a country it means having deep divisions. Globally it means you have a rich centre and a poor periphery. This might maximize productivity in a capitalist society, its certainly does not maximize happiness, and it exacerbates other problems like urban decay, crime, divisive politics and much more.

The shitty plans work out really well for folks who don't wind up needing them. That's how they succeed - 90% of people are satisfied customers!

The problem is, it's like having car insurance that'll only pay out $100 if you have an accident. Fine if you never have one, but not if you do. They give you the illusion of insurance.
I hear all these complaints about ads and it is very strange to me. I have a 2018 Samsung Smart TV (with buyilt in Netflix, Apple TV etc. apps), connected to the internet (no VPN, pihole etc.). I live in The Netherlands. On setup I agreed to all kinds of stuff, except the voice stuff (so I cannot speak to my TV).

I have never seen a single ad or anything remotely like it. The only thing is the remote has dedicated buttons for Amazon something and Rakuten (both not available in my country) and Netflix.
Yeah, I'm a bit baffled by statements like:

> Most people aren't renters

Source? Most of my friends (outside of the tech echo chambers) are worried they'll never become buyers because of student loans, decades of wage stagnation, skyrocketing rent, real estate, college tuition, etc..
To put that in context, it's about $18 for a movie ticket where I live and $30 if you buy popcorn and a drink. But yeah, it still seems like a lot to pay for a few-year-old movie that you'll only ever watch once.
I sometimes wonder about this. Do we really have unique needs that few others would need, or is it just that we lack the imagination to fully appreciate how huge the population is?

Maybe only 0.001% of people need it, but that's still tens of thousands of people.
Not sure if view lets you do this but bat will switch off highlighting if you are piping output `bat file.txt | grep ...`. This makes it easy to make an alias cat=bat and have everything work. Also you can make bat display output with `less` and then line numbers can be toggled, not sure about gitgutter.

I also think that when it comes to infinitly duplicateable products, value becomes extremely subjective.

Paying full price for a movie just isn't worth it to me, even if I can afford it. I just dont value them highly.

If the inly legal avenue for getting my hands on something I want to watch is priced way out of how I see the value proposition, I'll just pirate it.

I favour a "pay what you want" model for a lot of these goods.

I would pay 5e, but it's only available for 10e a month plus the work of cancelling subscriptions and so on, so instead I pay 0e.
> We even already have open standards for this and a healthy ecosystem of file hosting providers and file-consuming applications that integrate with them.

I'm not aware of any providers that offer the ease of google drive and the access of S3 (ie can I host a website on it). As far as I know both GDrive and Dropbox removed the ability to host files on the web in the last couple years. Do you know of any comparable products that offer both of those? I'd be very interested in looking at them. I think S3 is the closest, because you can access the filesystem through their browser APIs, and publicly over HTTP. And it got popular enough for people to make open server implementations. The problem with S3 at the moment are that it wasn't designed for this use case, so it's missing features like Firebase-style update events.

> However, the flat filesystem model would be awful for most productivity apps. Think GMail, Google Docs, Calendar, Slack, Trello, GitHub, Jira, etc. These are the use cases I care about.

GMail, for sure. GDocs, I can't think of why you couldn't implement it for a reasonable number of users with nothing but texts files using atomic updates, or maybe come up with a standard protocol for invoking text-based CRDTs. Or just send the change updates as git diffs and if someone tries to change a line that would result in a conflict reject that change and send back the current state of the document. This would be sufficient for any app for the which the data can be expressed as text files. Worst case you could even allow something like CF Workers for cases where you absolutely need centralized logic, but I think there are a large number of tasks you can accomplish without that. Even something like slack I think you could implement with text files on a disk. Pre-SSDs I'd have to agree with you, but nowadays I think a generic filesystem is good enough for most things that don't involve scale.

I noticed this for a few hotels when traveling to New Zealand recently, a few hotels required a $100-200 deposit - in cash only. As I'd been using a Revolut card for purchases and it was near the end of the holiday so I didn't want to have to try to spend the deposit before returning home, I simply went with a different hotel that didn't have this condition (it was clearly stated on their booking.com page).

I don't know if they'd had problems with stag nights in the past with people leaving a mess...

Along the same lines, but something applicable I heard with regards to software piracy in the late 90s or early 00s - for every 5 people, 1 will pay regardless, 2 will steal regardless and 2 will pay if it's easy, fair and convenient.

As a loose rule of thumb, that seems to be roughly my experience when you take into account everyone that's accessing stuff (ie, kids, people earning money, parents, etc. etc.).

I'm also reminded of the late 90s Gate's quote: "Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. And as long as they're going to steal it, we want them to steal ours." -- It's exactly as you said. Make it easier and more convenient for people to get it legally than for them to get it illegally. When they have the cash they'll value the convenience. My subscriptions to Spotify, Netflix, Prime, Creative Cloud and so forth are a testament to this.

This sounds hard. What about 327 million consumers? The real problem is a discipline in the social sciences which mistakes itself for hard science. It is serving today the same purpose "scientific socialism" once served in the Soviet Union: Taking power away from the people and placing it into the hands of an enlightended elite. What's called "depoliticisation" today. In which you remove spheres of public interest from the democratic decision-making process and cede them to unaccountable power. The exact thing we just haven't had enough of just yet according to this guy.

Listening to informed opinions is important but economists enjoy a kind of widespread unquestioned respect that has no basis in reality at all.
