If the actual data isn't copyrightable, yet the 'fake/trap data' is, then presumably when one copies the map, a court will decide that the magnitude of the copying is very small - only a single apostrophe was copied - and therefore the damages negligible.

If fake data is hidden amongst real data, wouldn't there also be the argument that the copier was unaware that they were copying a creative work rather than pure facts?
I don't know about copyrights for maps, but your argument is not good: You can't copyright a flower, but take a picture of that flower and the rights to the picture belong to you. Google is not preventing others from collecting mapping data, but they prevent them from copying the data Google has collected.
> knows the...reasons why the code vase is the way it is

I try to document (in code) a lot of that "why", so that the answer doesn't need to be passed around as tribal knowledge.

If you need a person around to be able to explain the project architecture, it's probably a sign that you need more/better documentation.

Just my 2 cents.
I'm not sure I understand why establishing social values shouldn't be a vital component of any organization, particularly a non-profit organization dedicated to equality and openness, that employs a large number of people and relationships with the public and any number of third-parties? I'm actually not sure it's operationally possible to ignore them as a large public organization. Further, how much time and resources do you think it really takes to identify and define a code of values? Seems like it wouldn't necessarily require the full-time focus of even one member of staff and the very occasional meeting.
Et moi aussi: I try not to eat anyone smarter than me.
If the US adhered to the Mozilla Manifesto then you might have a point. Until then, it’s fine to hold Obama and Eich to different standards.
It's a fun thought experiment, but our annual information output will not keep growing exponentially, it will saturate at some point, I suspect long before 350 years.
I was curious too, and it turns out that Nano Dimension is publicly traded, has seen its market cap collapse over the last four years, and oddly seen a massive spike in trading volume over the last four months. I suspect this is another Microvision-like scenario where a stock on the verge of dropping into the pink sheets is getting gamed by people trying to convince others that it is the next big thing.
There are actually devs that can't touch type these days? That's quite fascinating.

The basic Dask-like functionality is in Dagger.jl, we have plans to move out the distributed array functionality out of it and keep just the scheduler in there.

I'm working on a set of functions to work with many DataFrames (or anything) in parallel and do it out of core if possible, it's basically like JuliaDB but with a FileTree abstraction rather than a table abstraction.

The SEC certainly did.
Compilations of facts are copyrightable in the US, but they can't be just raw collections - there has to be a choice made what to include.

> The Act also provides copyright protection to compilations, but only to the extent that there has been a contribution of originality in assembling that compilation.

Map copyright is based on the idea there are decisions made around what to include and how to display it.

You can't photocopy a map and claim copyright. However, a human can trace the same map and claim copyright.

The first step is to fix other battery packs.

Usually when an eletric car battery goes wrong, only a module do so and you can replace the broken module and balance everything. So you can make good battery packs using bad battery packs.

Second step is to use the battery for something else that is less critical on energy density. If a battery pack holds only 50% of its original capacity, it's not very nice in a car but you can still use it for energy storage at home for example. Also if you have a 100kWh pack, you usually need 110kWh to "fill" it. But if for some reasons this battery pack deteriorates to 50kWh, you will need 55kWh to fill it. In other words, an old battery pack do not waste energy compared to a new one. It just represents a lower potential of energy. Of course you have things such as internal resistance so the efficiency may vary over time, but it's not an efficiency disaster.

Last solution is to recycle. It's not very developed because the amount of eletric car batteries to recycle isn't that high yet. Today a solution used at least in France is quite simple, you burn the batteries in a large oven and you keep the melted metals. You have to filter the fumes and the cobalt is lost. But you get lithium, that may be more expensive than lithium extracted from a mine. Another process I heard about is about crushing the batteries and filtering them instead of burning them.
The days of all code AAA games is over. Binary sizes are still mostly irrelevant. They matter to you, but they don't matter to the market.
I think #2 is actually great. Without this trigger things never got done for me. University taught me that failure is okay, which removed the trigger for me. End result was that things got even worse.

I hope one day I'll be able to find a replacement for it.
So there's two different concepts. One is original creative output, which is copyrightable. The other is information, which is not copyrightable.

If you find something verbatim identical in a bunch of different places, you've got a strong case that it's just information, because if it were original creative output it wouldn't show up identically in multiple places.

If it turns out everyone was plagiarizing a single source, but you were unaware and took down the offending content when asked, you won't have much in the way of legal liability.

FIRE. If your life plan involves having kids, you'll need higher FIRE number, but it's still possible. Medicial bills are always the hardest part of FIRE since you can't plan for them and they have an unlimited ceiling. But you can aim for a basic insurance plan on Obamacare or move to a country with a modern medical insurance system.
Deploy short-lived K8s clusters (by jpetazzo)
I've put a lot of hours into Elite: Dangerous which arguably has many of the same critiques. I've also put a lot of hours into No Man's Sky.

I have not purchased Star Citizen but I did have a free weekend where someone who owns one of the most expensive ships in the game gave my a virtual tour of the system on their drop dead stunning space yacht that Elite could only dream about.

Atmospheric flight was a blast and the planets are gorgeous, especially compared to NMS and the lifeless husks of Elite.

The city world was a whole nother level and I actually got lost in the bustling city.

I sort of loved that we had enough time on the return jump to head down to the bar on his yacht (complete with ridiculously deeply modeled bottles behind the bar) to "have a drink" and chat while sitting and watching stars stream by like in Star Trek.

Start Citizen has a lot that is wrong with it and the business side is a nightmare. But as an avid space geek, I'll be damned if they didn't break a new barrier for immersion with me.

All I want now is a game that blends the flight and universe mechanics of Elite with the procedural generation of planets and some gameplay loops like NMS, but with the graphics and jaw droppingly beautiful graphics and immersive fine details of Start Citizen. In VR, with whatever Frankenstein of a machine could actually run it smoothly without melting.
> But! We somehow sleep better at night knowing someone with 12 guns has to wait 10 days before getting their 13th... because that prevents them from committing murder or something?

Well the waiting period might be useful when going from zero to one right? At least it shows premeditation.

And, the federal government isn't permitted to run a gun ownership registry[1], so the DOJ api wouldn't know if you already had a gun, so everybody has to wait.

[1] As I understand it, firearms dealers have to record purchases on paper and keep the records for a significant amount of time, and respond to requests for data, which is sort of a registry, but not online and not centralized.

> and do not regularly use them because their phone/tablet is the primary computing device.

… maybe someday, but I think it's a bit premature? Phone keyboards were terrible, involving hacks like T9 to make them tolerable for the longest time. Smart phones haven't been around that long; the iPhone wasn't introduced until mid-2007. That's only a little more than a decade, so unless you're close to 20, you're going to remember / have learned on something else.

And it takes very little practice on even a basic keyboard to outpace a mobile "keyboard"'s input rate.
Creator here. As a University student I was struggling a lot with the huge amount of information I needed to remember for my courses. I started using spaced repetition (Anki) and it worked great! I enthusiastically shared this method with my family but they got overwhelmed by the complexity of the Anki interface and all the options. I wanted to change that.
So I built memordo. I focused on creating a minimalist but still productive interface for creating memory cards that supports image, latex, code and clozes.

It's barely even lib-dependent -- we use rxjs instead of redux; react hooks have a useReducer now, and the "reduce" function isn't a new idea so it shows up in many more places where it can easily trigger events. I'll often use this approach along with a "controller component", which manages the less directly visible components. It's common already for things like routing.

This lay-off is not because of Covid or racism. It is because of the overwhelmingly awful executive leadership at Mozilla.

Watching Mozilla leadership drive Mozilla into the ground over the last 8-10 years has been like watching a bus accident in slow motion. FirefoxOS anyone?

The only benefit Mozilla now provides is a warning to companies that place how liked and popular employees are over how skilled and hard working they are.

Mozilla has collected such a large group of well behaved and well liked underperformers to an absurd level like no other company in history. This is no more obvious than the woefully under-qualified and perennially under-performing leadership.

Someone please explain to me how Mitchell Baker continues to have a job? How is Mozilla still paying this person millions, yes millions, of dollars?

Pocket?! You are going to save Mozilla with a glorified bookmarking app?

What a sad waste.

> Which means they are only not OK with scraping when Google uses the scrapped for purpose they deemed reduced their traffic

Obviously. The way the profit model for the internet works right now, for sites to coexist with Google, they must actually receive some of the traffic that is generated from searches matching their content. Who would be okay with having all of their content scraped with the result being that they get none of the traffic and thus the monetary benefit from the work they do?

> Losing the browser would be a catastrophe, losing the rest would not even register

Here's a sort of thought experiment, which I really don't know the answer to. How much of Firefox development (by hours, lines of code, commits, pick your metric) is done by Mozilla employees as part of their day jobs? And how much of that development is ~useless for the maintenance and improvement of the core browser? (Stuff like Pocket and the "discovery" feature on the new tab page, all the time spent on the URL bar changes, etc etc.)

It might turn out to be the case that most, or even all of core Firefox development could be done by the community. At the very least I'm willing to put out there that maintaining a web browser does not require half a billion dollars a year. (It's rather hard to imagine that 100 full time devs making $250k a year each couldn't handle basically all of the core development, for example.)

The problem with Mozilla is that it's a business, for all intents and purposes. With an open source project, as long as ongoing development is financially maintainable you don't have to care about marketshare. Mozilla cares about marketshare because it affects how much Google will pay them for search traffic (and how much they get from in-chrome advertizing).

When Oracle proved derelict in its duties managing the development of OpenOffice, the Document Foundation was formed, largely by people who were already spending their time on OpenOffice. They forked OpenOffice into LibreOffice almost overnight. Major longstanding pull requests were quickly merged. New people who previously hadn't wanted to contribute stepped up to support a community project. And the result has been all to the good! The Document Foundation still manages the project, and in 2019 did so with a total income of less than a million Euros.

To me this is proof that large open source software projects can quietly evolve into two camps: one is the employees of a governing corporation, and the other is the community. And the community might be doing most / all of the core work required to keep the project running, and the employees are mostly doing stuff that benefits the company. And suddenly there's a community fork - and it just works, without any hitches. I don't know if this would be successful in the case of Firefox, but I expect (and hope) that people would try if there was ever a hint of Mozilla abandoning it.

(For another example, consider KDE e.V., which manages an enormous open source project on a budget of under 600k Euros a year as of 2018.)
You seem focused on whether this case was the legally correct decision, which it sure seems to be. This article, like many readers, is more focused on whether this was a fair result. Nothing bizarre about that.

The judge may have done the correct thing, but readers may feel that Congress didn't. This case will doubtless be used in the future to argue for sui generis database rights like the EU has.

(My view is that in principle, some form of sui generis database rights makes sense, but for the things that US copyright law already covers it is currently far, FAR too restrictive and lasts too long, so I would vehemently oppose expansion of existing US copyright law to cover sui generis database rights.

However, if US copyright law were reformed such that it mandated blanket licensing (see [the EFF proposal]), strengthened fair use protections, and shortened copyright duration, then I would totally support similar rights for sui generis databases.)
