Because that would require all landlords in every place anyone would want to live to coordinate with each other, and to also coordinate with builders to not build more housing in places people want to live to not build new housing. $1,000 per month, at a 3% interest rate, would support around a $400,000 mortgage. That's getting into the territory where you can custom-build a house, and is several times the cost of a pre-fab house. Two people on $1,000 / month each could cover cost of living somewhere cheap, and if rents get high enough in places where jobs exist, some people will just entirely opt out of working and go buy a house where stuff is cheap, which reduces demand in impacted areas.

Prices will go up by some percentage of the basic income amount, but that percentage will be less than 100% of the difference. The landlord might raise rent from $1000 to $1600, but not to $3,000.
Yes, I hear you. It would then come down to what's easier to do correctly, authenticate an EMV transaction or read and validate the fingerprint of a card's mag stripe.

To the best of my knowledge, I don't think anyone has been able to replicate a mag stripe's fingerprint on another card's mag stripe. However, this security measure has probably seen a few orders of magnitude less adversaries than EMV and RFID have.
Oldest phone that gets iOS updates is what, the 6s or the 7? The former having come out in 2015, that is an amazing support lifetime.

I’m planning on keeping my iPhone X past the end of the year, which takes it to a 3 year lifetime, which works out as ~$600/year which is amazing value.
'After the fact' may be of only limited legal importance in assessing the relative values being weighed in the case.

Let's say that for book X, IA held-in-reserve 2 copies. And at the peak of the "Emergency Library", they never loaned out more than 10 total copies.

I'm sure publishers would allege: "You created 8 net copies! Pay us!"

But then 500 physical libraries who are sympathetic to the IA show up, and say: "Amongst us, we had 1000 idle copies of X trapped on our shelves. We wish we could have done the same sort of 1-for-1 lending IA did, to help the nation in its hour of need, but we weren't set up for it, and couldn't throw it together with limited resources during mandatory-closure orders."

"So, as soon as we heard about IA's program, we endorsed it & recommended it to our physical patrons. As far as we're concerned, we delegated the right to loan our copies to IA, including retroactively."

"No net copies of X were created. Rather, if there had been no pandemic emergency forced closure of physical libraries, our copies of X would've been loaned out for a total of 40,000 library-patron-days. None of that happened, but IA's emergency lending managed to reclaim, according to their exact usage numbers, 5,277 of those days-of-use for students, scholars, and citizens. Less than 15% of the pandemic-destroyed-value."

"Now, publishers are trying to profit off the pandemic, by not only having collected their payments for all those idled books, but collecting a windfall of extra purchases, and/or damages, from a non-profit library that was just trying to offset massive pandemic losses in a technologically efficient way."

I recently used openrouteservice [1] for a trip from Bremen to Berlin (~400km) and it worked pretty well. It even lets you choose between different types of bikes (road, MTB). I downloaded the GPX into OsmAnd on my phone for turn-by-turn directions. OsmAnd also does a decent job of guiding you back onto your predefined route.

One thing that was a bit irritating was the directions at intersections, where you clearly had to go straight, but it told me to turn right and then immediately turn left. This happened when the bike path took a slight turn before the intersection, e.g. to guide you towards pedestrian traffic lights. Not sure which one of the two apps is to blame here.

Oh and when I tried Google Maps for a bit, to find my accommodation, it immediately tried to guide me through the middle of a field, with no discernible path whatsoever. So much for that..

Price Testing for Subscription Apps

One angle that I think is worth exploring is the funding bodies putting requirements in place around publishing data (and the quality of that data) as a condition around funding.

If NIST required that you publish the data (say within N years to cover the concern about getting scooped on follow-up papers), and dinged you on future funding applications if you didn't meet their quality/reproducibility metrics, perhaps that would help to align incentives.

This is the same sort of idea as requiring research from public funding to be put in open-access journals so that the public can benefit from it.
> That X% is at most the same for using proprietary software. AGPL does NOTHING beyond an ADDITIONAL license grant beyond that.

Can you explain to me how I'd import proprietary software into google's source code repository? The concern is about source code under the AGPL. Google treats AGPL source the same way as proprietary source: you don't stick them into the source repository unless you have access under a dual (or in the case of proprietary, single) license.

> There is no AGPL software in existence where damages would go over a few million dollars.

While I was incorrect about punitive damages, you're also incorrect about "profit" as damages, it's not the lost profit of the infringed, but the illegitimate profit of the infringer. So the potential loss isn't the cost of a negotiated license, but the total profit of Gmail or Youtube or Ads or all three over the infringing period. Yes, that's potentially billions in copyright claims.

See for example the Oracle v. Google case, where the copyright claim is for $8.8 billion in damages. So we have prior art for a ridiculous sounding copyright case with ~10Bn in damages that's currently awaiting a supreme court ruling. So X is clearly >0.

The way I solved this in my own (not finished) web-based spreadsheet app is to have a scrollable div positioned over the canvas and to size the transparent div contents to the width/height of the sheet. Then I register scroll event handlers and redraw the canvas appropriately when the scroll changes. I think this is how Google sheets works, although it's a bit difficult to tell for sure.

It behaves exactly how you would expect. It even properly handles clicking and dragging to the edge of the screen, which I did not expect prior to implementing it.
We can say... slow and steady! I can go days without a sale, and most of the time it requires active promotion. I list them directly (https://store.shahinrostami.com/) and not through Amazon/Gumroad etc, so maybe that makes it more difficult... but I'm still enjoying it!
I want to try livestream, but my 19mo daughter would not allow me to do that.

Actually as you can see, most of my videos do not have good lighting because I recorded them in the evening time after my little daughter went to bed. In the day time, I only got fragmented time slot so I can add things, whatever bug fixes or new features, little by little.

So blocking hours to do livestream would be hard for me as for now :(

I don't think the "pockets of light" phenomenon is unique to light-polluted areas. In Cherry Springs[1] if there's a full moon and your eyes are adjusted to looking at things bathed in moonlight, you're still not going to be able to see things underneath trees. Natural light isn't somehow more diffuse: if anything it creates more striking shadows because the light is coming primarily from a single source.

I'm honestly not sure where you're getting this idea from, or why you're stating it as fact. Are you just unintentionally overstating a hypothesis here? Or do you have some information that I don't? I'm certainly not an expert on how sight works, but nothing from my experience in the wilderness matches what you're saying.

> I would argue that they lacked business acumen. The fact is Commodore's marketing of the Amiga was terrible. After the 1985 head start, they let the technology languish for years.

EVERYBODY lacked business acumen. Motorola, MOSTEK, TI (although they were better than most), Apple, Radio-Shack (Tandy), Tramiel, Commodore, Amiga and Intel. What a mess! It's a wonder that they ever got out of the swamp.

I guess MS, ARM and Intel all turned out doing OK. And, Steve Jobs grew up and returned (in greater numbers with a turtle-neck!) and became an incredible intuitive design-evaluator and huckster (is that what you call the person who starts a new religion?), but having lived through so much of this (including Compaq and Star (the Dallas one - not the Xerox one - but that counts too!), [EDIT: I forgot about ComputerLand and their sinister hand in all of this - and of course Garry Kildall missing the IBM meeting - I'm not even getting into the software stack with zip-zip-zimmerman] and the origins of Dell and the ending of Compaq (and Tandem and DEC and HP!), everything seems to chaotic and random.

I know that we all (probably) like to feel like we are the gladiators on the field, and winning from strategy and planning and cunning and intelligence and skill - but in retrospect - everything seems so random to me.

Maybe I'm just getting old and cynical.

You work on _ads_ at Google, and are concerned about the ethics of working at Microsoft in the 90s? Sure, anti-competitive business practices might be unethical, but how can you possibly in good conscience suggest that bundling IE is more ethically problematic than building massive surveillance applications to sell ads? Just the implications of the data collection alone should be enough for you to quit your job before even considering any business angle.

Haha. A bit unrelated, not sure how it works in the rest of the world, but inNorway EV charging stations doesn’t even have a card reader, you have to sign up with an app and register your card there. And each charging company has their own app. Absolutely bonkers. You can get a chip for your key chain and tie it to all your apps so you can read that at the charging station, but still.

>My diagnosis; the profession of software development is a victim of a hostile takeover from product managers, while pushing engineers out of control of their domain.

Jop, that nails it. Software engineers are treated sometimes like children, sometimes like being crackbrained even, but almost never as the highly educated experts they are (or should be, if there wouldn't be so much botchers around also, which for sure causes to some degree the mentioned problem).

Engineering decisions can often be overridden by management no matter what. The result are the usual "catastrophes" repeating over and over everywhere. But as long as this "catastrophes" (like breaches with exfiltration of user data) "require" mostly only a "pardon blog-post" from some executive but don't have any really hurting (financial!) consequences this won't change I guess. If there are costs the insurance will cover them usually. And you need to have and pay the insurance anyway, so why care further? Product management doesn't optimize for security. They optimize costs.

Which as such is not wrong or so! If the incentives would be set by the market provider (the state) correctly the same mechanics could easily lead to improved security. I know many don't like to hear this but imho this industry needs stronger regulation. Without regulation nothing will change as on a free marked the "cheapest" product wins. And it will be (or is, as we can currently see) "cheap" in any dimension. "Worse is better" is a direct result of the fact that the "cheapest stuff" prevail in the long run.

>My recommendation; use the least amount of software you can get by with, and assume it's compromised.

Quite depressed recommendation and fatalistic viewpoint. But to be honest, after so many years in software this could have been my words. And as I see it: Without true political will this conclusion won't change on it's own.

Landmark paper is a strong term for something that has been repeatedly debunked and then ignored by the nuclear physics community (all its citations are cold fusion journals...)

The theory Widom and Larsen propose violates the laws of physics and has no experimental evidence.

Put simply, the weak reaction needs an enormous amount of energy to happen. The difference between a neutron and a proton is 1MeV, more than the mass of the electron. The electric field at the surface of the metal is of the order of eV and does not account for this. So where are these massive electrons magically getting their energy from?

Or if you're comfortable with theoretical physics, a better critique can be found here: https://coldfusionblog.net/category/widom-larsen/
I don't think any of my beliefs have changed.
I think you're arguing against a strawman. Nobody argued that writers (or programmers) shouldn't get paid; just that writing (and programming) also exist outside the realm of monetary compensation. People write (books and code) for many reasons: because they are passionate about it, for the recognition by their peers, because they want to enter a contest, because of vanity, and yes, because of money.

Getting paid is fine and dandy. What's false is that "without a business model", nobody would be "insane enough" to write books (or programs).

The conflation between doing a thing and getting paid for doing a thing -- or even worse, claiming that without monetary compensation said thing wouldn't exist -- is annoying and misleading.

> When everyone gets the same treatment, you get a feeling of unity and you don't divide society into "leeches" and "providers" based on who gets UBI and who doesn't.

No; it may obscure that distinction slightly but it very much still exists. Anyone who receives more in UBI and other desired services than they pay in taxes will remain a "leach". Those who pay more in taxes than they receive are the providers, without whom the whole UBI system could not exist. (The relevant pre-UBI terms are "net tax payer" and "net tax receiver".)

The expandability of the original Amiga platform is what kept the ecosystem so vibrant that there almost wasn't a need to update the platform for so long - so many expansions that the Mac people could only dream about. Video Toaster, to name but one. I started with an A1000 that I hacked a 20MB hard drive into, along with the usual RAM expansions. I moved on to a fully-loaded A2000 system with a 68030 CPU, 1GB of hard drive space, 64MB of RAM, ethernet card (coax), an Apple Mac emulator card, a PC card that ran PC software on the card, a PBX card to hook up to interface with the phone line, and just so much more - while the Mac was still pushing black and white graphics and 512KB RAM (and very, very difficult to expand the RAM).

I later got an A1200, and then an A4000 as well. While the platform updates were great, those weren't what really made the Amiga shine - it was the multitasking OS that the Mac and PC didn't really have - they were nowhere near Amiga OS, which was pretty amazing. Through AREXX any application could control any other application, which is something Windows and OSX still don't really do. I mean to some extent it's sort of possible now, but not as easily as it was with Amiga OS.

If Commodore was still around and had not gone out of business, I'd absolutely be using Amigas today. (yes, I know it sort of still exists, but it isn't really funded or widely used)
> If we accept that a feature of cities is people want to live in them, and will compete for that, therefore UBI won't help people live in cities.

It depends on why people want to live in cities. The people who are living in cities mostly for the vibrant community will probably want to stay there. The people who are living in cities because they can't get a job outside the city will no longer have that constraint, and some of those people will move away. Not everyone has to move away for competition to decrease.
