> The 13th Amendment would not come into play here,

Yes it would be a huge stretch, but I look at copyright/patent law as unjust restrictions on the freedom of one person by another.

> There's more public support for abolishing all private property than there is for abolishing or even limiting copyright.

I think this is a really good point. I would say 99/100 of the general population has zero opinion on copyright/patent law, so present day it would fall far low on the list of priorities.

> The vast majority of people are apathetic to the issue when it doesn't affect them.

You are very much right that people are apathetic to it. But if people weren't affected by it I wouldn't care. I care because I think people are greatly affected by it, though that isn't widely reported. For example, millions of people are strongly affect by the opioid crisis, and if you trace that back to the root cause, what do you find: patent law (Oxycontin was being heavily prescribed over cheap generics like ibuprofen because of an incentive stream due to monopoly profits from patent laws). If you look at healthcare, or the cost of education, or tech consolidation, or the current news industry, all of these problem categories in the USA have a common thread where the industries depend upon copyright/patent laws, with resulting harmful incentives. It's like when you have a software system where you've got the underlying data model wrong. Users will constantly point out the loads of specific easily observable problems but the real root cause and solution is to fix the underlying data model.

Why isn't it widely reported on? Well, I could be completely wrong and these laws are a good thing for everyone. Or maybe because the media doesn't amplify the voices who have been researching and promoting this because as the saying goes "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

> This sentiment is toxic.

I'm not too sure. I think you could be right, and I think my negative exasperated tone above could be counter productive. But I also think it might help to be direct with creators about the true value of contributions relative to what they are building upon. The success (and humility) in the OSS world is perhaps the way of the future. Successful OSS developers have appropriate humility that they are building mostly on the works of others and give their work away under public domain (ie. sqlite) or permissive licenses like MIT. Very few developers want to use libraries where the authors insist on control. That zeitgeist hasn't yet moved to other creative industries yet though, that I'm aware of.

I also think one might win some minds when you make the case that when a janitor cleans a room, she then doesn't get to charge a fee to everyone who enters that room for the next 120 years.

Spot on points though. I am not too confident in the odds of success.
So last Saturday I got a brand new credit card from a brand new bank that I opened because my main credit card got compromised and I wanted a backup.

Saturday evening I verify receipt of the card, and then put the card on the counter and left it there. Sunday night / Monday morning, at 1am, I get a text that the new card was compromised as someone was attempting to use it to pay some scammer. I never left the house with the card, I never typed it into a computer beyond the verification process from my own home.

Wat.
I felt a sting reading that too. He hit the idiot computer kid jackpot and did idiot computer kid things with it. Not saying no consequences, but damn.
I am guessing they didn't control for lifestyle, etc. Someone who takes glucosamine either works out heavily and supplements (and probably watches their diet), or had joint surgery, and falls into the first group to some degree.

Edit: Yea, reading the study, I don't see anything about controlling for fitness level. Running and caring about one's diet alone would account for this effect without glucosamine.
The age of the attacker is irrelevant to Twitter's role in this story. However your underlying point still stands. If we want these types of attacks to stop, we can't just let all these companies off with a public embarrassment being the primary punishment. At a certain point we have to start calling it negligence when companies fall for these attacks and fail to have proper precautions in place to prevent them.
Governments are touchy about propaganda channels, even (or especially?) when they are lower in quality than the Sun or the Daily Mirror.

This is only one thing that OO languages provide. My point, though, was that global state is not inherent to procedural languages as you claimed. And if all you're getting from an OO language is a bit of sugar and single dispatch, you're not getting much.
I think back then it was much more likely to be a case of "This person has issues and they screwed up (or got screwed over by life/their parents)." These days, it's much more a systemic issue.

The two individuals I knew had serious personal issues. I also had serious personal issues. That's why I decided they were good examples of where my life might end up if I bulled on ahead with going to college as if a degree would fix everything.

In any era, some people will slip through the cracks. But a healthy system makes that the exception, not the rule. Far too many people are overburdened and falling down these days to the point where there is fairly widespread talk of systemic failure.
That’s a super, super shitty experience. I made a comment somewhere else in this thread outlining my theory that apple were so strict with the test because part of the financial arrangement with nvidia stipulated the machine had to fail a diagnosistic they provided or contributed to.

Still, as someone who used to work as a “genius”, it would have been easy to cover your mlb repair under warranty for a million reasons, so the technician failed you there, and then to not do anything for you 4 days outside of eligibility especially based on your experience... that’s fucked. Not all “genius” bar people are like that. If something similar happens in future, call AppleCare and ask to speak to “tier 2”. They sometimes have leeway to issue coverage in extenuating circumstances.

Speaking as another sound engineer and software engineer:

I believe the effort and risks involved with piracy are -- on average in well-off places -- simply "worth it" compared to owning physical media and "not worth it" compared to paid streaming subscriptions.

It's not just about dollars, but the value proposition of the total experience. The average pirate doesn't streamline their rig with all sorts of automation to pull things into a slick xbmc derivative heuristically; rather it's a time sink and less on-demand.

On the other hand, the more restrictive back catalog does keep piracy relevant for those who want less common selections.

People are just afraid to recognize facets of human behavior that they don't see as normal. When people talk about schizophrenia they might say it's "difficult" or there's no easy solution or that they're still thinking about how to heal them, but the reality is that maybe these people can never be completely helped in a lifetime, to the point where they're accepted as "normal" again. Maybe there are some classes of neurodegenerative brain disorders where the tissue allowing for fudamental human capability is gone forever, and the functionality can never be fully restored. On one hand we strive to treat everyone equally, on the other some people will end up giving up on their dreams because those dreams will never be within their ability. Or, far more devastating, they will stop being able to realize they could even have dreams to begin with. I remember reading about the tragedy of the co-founder of Cloudflare, and the top comment by a person featured in the article that said there was nothing more to be done for his condition. And it was that much more painful because everyone believed he was still "normal" for the longest time, that his behavior could be explained in terms of human sociability or wit, until they realized that the only reason he acted the way he did was because of an underlying condition of the brain.

Is a certain degree of extreme childhood trauma simply a fork in the road in a person's life that is never completely reversible? Does that kind of harm cause the person to be trapped in their own mind with the mental damage it causes? I personally believe it can in some cases. There is only so much you can do if you have the mental equivalent of your limbs being dismembered.

If my definition of "forgiveness" is giving someone else something of mine, then there are some people I will never forgive so long as I'm alive.

But if forgiveness is just acknowledging mistakes and moving on, never letting them take anything more from me, then I've completely forgiven them instead.

But that doesn't sound like forgiveness to me.

This might be a lucky break for Intel. If NVidia buys ARM, this might slow the ARM ecosystem's intrusion on Wintel. As others have noted, NVidia will probably go and develop a data center CPU to complement their other offerings. Qualcomm already tried that and failed though [0], so NVidia's effort may meet the same fate several years from now. Regardless, Intel would get a little more time to work through its process problems.

> If so, as a society do we not see value in the fine arts?

There's lots of value there - art for art's sake and all that - but these degrees (and many others) don't directly translate to employment. The problem is that many people are expecting college degrees to give them lucrative employment when this isn't what college was necessarily designed for in the first place.
Since independent venues have been gradually disappearing in the US in the 21st century, and ticketing is locked down by Live Nation, it sure seems that the only revenue stream American musicians can control is their merchandise.

Makes sense that everything else is just "marketing" these days.

> Aside from Deaths, Covid can cause permanent organ damage.

So can other diseases we live with, we're just not that exposed to them through the press. Certain diseases can cause heart failure; bacterial pneumonia, even if treated, can have effects that last for months if not a year or more; some viral infections can cause all sorts of bad side effects, including cytokine storms.

This including the recent interview with someone who had a lot of their fingers amputated due to cardiovascular complications from infections: this also happens to quite a few who have type 2 diabetes (due to neuropathy).

A lot of treatable diseases can have long lasting, sometimes even crippling effects in life. Many people just don't know because it's not told around.

This virus is no different from them.

Viewpoints like this are dismissive of trans and gender noncomforming people, and they put minority people in the position of having to constantly advocate for the fact that they do, in fact, exist. He goes on to describe several other instances where he calls, for example, gender dysphoria in Sweden "social contagion".

This person is widely, and publicly outspoken about their beliefs in op eds, and people are disagreeing with his op eds .

You can take individual responsibility and disable JS by default. Also, don't visit sites that you disagree with.

It's easy to understand why international sites block European visitors to avoid that violence-backed coercion.

It may be confusing, but it applies to any dynamically-sized container (for mutable containers, the impact is smaller and often can be lessened by increasing the capacity of the container before appending items, but often, you don’t know the target capacity in advance). You’ll have to learn it, or use a language that doesn’t have dynamically-sized containers such as classical COBOL, FORTRAN or (to a lesser extent) Pascal.

So, this is a lesson you just have to learn at some time.
CS is already like that.

Let's be realistic, there's only so many compilers books, algorithm or OS books around. And most classes are based around these.

I can go coast to coast and everyone I'll meet who is doing an algorithm class will be doing more of less the same thing, only with variation on how hard the problem sets and labs are.
There are so many articles on forgiving, letting go and so on, but so little on encouraging people to retrospect their lives and wrongs and give sincere apologies. World would be a little bit better if people were encouraged to talk their differences or mistakes, to give closure, or give an apology, even if it took months or years for them to understand. Moving on is the easy part; reaching out the one you did wrong and asking forgiveness needs tons of courage and mental strength.
