Very few billionaires "make" anything. If you turned a member of this family loose in a vial factory, he or she would likely have no clue what to do. Instead, they have manipulated finance to own the means of production. That's called rent-seeking, and it's one of the reasons our economy and our society are facing big problems.

When I checked before, it seemed that Kawasaki incidence dropped to 0, and MIS-C cases had the expected prevalence of Kawasaki - meaning that basically, it was a change in classification and not a new disease (and not necessarily a new condition).

But I haven’t been keeping track recently.

When I got a magic mouse I really tried to get used to it, because it looks so pretty, but RSI forced me to go back to logitech.

The basic problem of the mouse is the touch surface. In order to allow for gestures the whole top of the mouse is interactive and the smallest touch sets it off. As a result you have to hover your fingers over the surface instead of resting the hand. In theory you can rest the back half of the hand, but in practice for me that causes accidental clicks because the whole body clicks down. The way to move the mouse is with a pincer grip. The combination of pincer and tense back of the hand by hovering the fingers is tiring and induces RSI. There is no way to keep the multitouch gestures and make the mouse ergonomic. Its strength is its weakness. Some people aren’t sensitive to RSI, for them it is fine. For me it was not.

I use a logitech mouse with extra buttons. All the gestures are replaced by buttons. It works well, and I can hold it in a natural way. But it doesn’t look as nice.
> How are you going to sandbox graphical apps without knowing about (and having capabilities around) the system by which a containerized app would communicate with your OS’s graphics subsystem?

Wayland is the way forward.

Today, runtimes do contain client x11 libs. However, nothing in flatpak requires it and it is possible to phase them out in the future releases of runtimes.
I've installed a few dozen AUR packages that only needed aarch64 added to the arch list. I think only one, syncterm, required any other modifications to build and even that was just setting a preprocessor define (__arm__).

Thus far, it's my favourite laptop purchase ever. Beats the feeling I got with the IBM X series or the Ti Book. It's light, zippy enough, great Linux hardware support, and totally silent.

Who said they they aren’t forced to. Specific individuals clearly can act reasonably on their own. It’s groups where you need control and systems of government influence those in power. Democracy’s clearly force winning some elections, but even dictatorship means relying on the military, police, and taxation etc.
Anarchism is not the answer. Democracy and extreme transparency of governance is.

Anarchism doesn't start with the right question which is: "How can we maximize the total average good for all people". Anarchism starts with "How can people live without rules imposed on them by others?"

The idea that eliminating all rules imposed by others would produce maximal average good for people is suspect, and has no real justifications proposed for it. It assumes that every person could have the consciousness of what is in the best interests of everyone, and then would always choose to follow the guidance of such information.
This is an example of several interacting phenomena:

1. The U.S. patent statute, 35 U.S.C. § 102 [0], says that "[a] person shall be entitled to a patent unless ...." (Emphasis added.) This puts the burden on the patent examiner to prove un-patentability and not the other way around.

By comparison: Imagine a Ph.D. program in which the candidate was entitled to a degree upon submission of a dissertation, with no need to do a literature review, unless the candidate's committee could come up with anticipatory research. That's how it is in the patent system: A patent applicant need only disclose "material" information of which the applicant is aware; there's no obligation to do a prior-art search.

2. Usually, a single patent examiner (possibly supervised during his- or her first few years) does the search and decides whether to allow a patent. The USPTO does have pre-issuance review procedures, but in the main, one, junior, civil servant — who might or might not know much about the relevant industry, as opposed to the relevant technology — 𝙞𝙣 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨.

Sure, there are procedures for the USPTO to revisit the question of patentability. But those are expensive for challengers, as has been pointed out in TFA and in the comments here.

3. Patent law also requires that, if you want to invalidate a patent in court, it's up to you to prove the relevant facts — by "clear and convincing evidence," the highest standard of proof in civil law.

Bottom line: The incentives provided by the patent system are not necessarily needed in the 21st century. It's high time to revisit, as the Supreme Court put it in 1966, "the underlying policy of the patent system that 'the things which are worth to the public the embarrassment of an exclusive patent,' as Jefferson put it, must outweigh the restrictive effect of the limited patent monopoly."

It's all about the context. I am a senior IT manager in a very large US-based non-IT company. I am in the top 1% in the company as IT expertise (and in the bottom half of the people here, for perspective), that makes me a technical guru of the local organization. I will never be promoted to the next level (Director), but I can be a fellow if I want; this creates the expectation that people can reach me for guidance and help and this is what I do in the days I go to the office: be there and talk to anyone that needs me.

The huge advantage for me is that it makes me almost intangible to people like the local Director (technically incompetent and an ass) and I don't have to spend time with bullshit corporate "organizational work" like going to recruiting events and explain why we hire and promote only women (because targets). My yearly evaluation is also just a formality that I never spend more than 15 minutes for and I have the flexibility to pick the most interesting projects we have. If spending a couple of days per month in the office is the price, I am willing to pay it.
> If you don't like the bundled model, then you can carry on using Ubuntu 20.04 without Snaps just fine.

Not really. The platform, Ubuntu in this case, has clearly signaled that they want to move from debs to snaps. And apart from the technical benefits of snaps (sandboxing) you also get the drawbacks (they are slow, updates are forced, and there is only one source for them). What you propose is fighting the platform you are staying on, and that's not a great place to be. Far better to move to platform more aligned with your choices as a user.

P.S.: If anyone is looking for quick and dirty suggestions, there's pop!_OS which is quite close to Ubuntu so there won't be many changes to the user experience. In my case it was Fedora. The linux ecosystem is diverse enough to offer many choices.

> I don’t see how

As a self-taught developer I promise you it never stunted my skills, and most probably made me a much stronger developer. I have been a professional developer for 12 years (10 of those as a senior) and during that time I have spent 4 years on military deployments overseas and another 1 year in a military school. As a result of intense self-training away from the corporate world I have learned to become a stronger and more independent developer than most of my peers.

When you are writing software on a small netbook traveling around Afghanistan with no internet you have to learn to be self-reliant, portable, efficient, and cheap with system resources. Given the right set of expectations and personality you just figure it out. Based on this perspective its my thought expert beginners are precisely so because they are too reliant on social reinforcement over original decisions.

Parent addresses this explicitly:

>not because politicians are any better than the average person, but because they tend to have at least a bare minimum of education, access to advisors, some positive incentives -the next election- and no high stakes on the decision like, say, a bar owner
The pandemic has been making it a lot more noticeable.
The logical fallacy of "argument from ignorance" is not about a null hypothesis or culturally accepted default. It's a way of reframing things to lend credibility to any hypothesis without actually providing evidence in support of it.

When we look at the grammar of Chinese, Japanese and Korean, it raises a lot of doubts about the possibility of lineal descent -- about the idea that Japanese and Korean are a kind of Chinese. These differences provide positive support for the idea that Chinese bears no especially close relationship to the other two, while discouraging the idea that they are close descendants. Evidence is often like that: supporting what is true while disconfirming what isn't.
"The first is that human beings are, under ordinary circumstances, about as reasonable and decent as they are allowed to be"

I'd like to try and understand Graeber's argument but I get stuck here. If you take one glance at history with all of its various wars, raids, riots, revolutions, etc I can't see how one could sustain this claim. For example, did Ghengis Khan act about as reasonable and decent as he was allowed to be?

This points to a larger problem I see with much if today's social commentary: taking the existence of an advanced civilization for granted. If you believe that today's society is inevitable and indestructible then you don't need to put any effort into sustaining it and can simply change anything you wish without worrying about the consequences to civilization.
And Arch let me build and install git HEAD, so I'm using 20.3.

No, that’s not the point he’s making.

> One of the problems for the target is that once the patent is issued by the USPTO, the court must presume it is valid, so any defence that impugns the validity of the patent can’t be decided at summary judgment. In the GNOME case, the sued project, shotwell, predated the filing of the patent by several years, so it should be obvious that even if shotwell did infringe the patent, it would have been prior art which should have prevented the issuing of the patent in the first place. Unfortunately such an obvious problem can’t be used to get the case tossed on summary judgement because it impugns the validity of the patent.
I'd a bigger and stronger far away stranger militia wanted to come and invade you it wouldn't matter if you had authority or not.
Nostalgia for the old internet is basically nostalgia for a wild period of market capture that will never come again. People took chances and accepted massive short term losses in an attempt to capture hypothetical market share. Now that we know better what the internet is going to look like you aren't going to see people take big chances and provide user value at massive discounts again (simple example: News papers providing articles in front of paywalls).

Apple Music for Android is not about Android users who want to buy Apple Music. If you have a family with mixed iPhone and Android devices, if you can’t use Apple Music with all of your devices, you will probably use Spotify. I’m sure Apple is glad to take money from Android users who want to buy Apple Music, but there are relatively few people who fall in that category.

iCloud/iTunes is available for Windows because most people who have iPhones (and iPods before) have Windows.

There is no financial reason for Apple to make iMessage for Android.
But OP falsely claims that summary judgment is impossible.

This just isn't right.

Summary judgment is possible whenever there's no genuine dispute about material facts after discovery. If the facts show prior art, the judge can absolutely grant summary judgment.

See e.g. https://casetext.com/case/old-reliable-wholesale-4 for a case invalidating a patent on summary judgment.
While I’m also not an anarchist, I don’t believe these are good examples. In fact, they could be an argument for anarchism.

With a lack of stimulus or even just in this economic system, bars and businesses in general are incentivized to stay open. They are being ‘coerced’ to stay open.

People started rejecting masks and shutdowns en masse after astroturfing and media convinced them to.

2020 Elixir Ecosystem Survey Results
Significantly better quality than WhatsApp for example (one-to-one calls, recordings).
There's a difference between the initial example and watching a movie. That's what I summed up with "there are other factors (than money)". If I'm only interested in the _outcome_ and I treat the way to achieve it as work, I definitely weight the time cost vs benefit (and I am not a freelancer). If it is something I enjoy doing (which may or may not be true for the initial example), I'll take this into account as well. Time is a limited resource, and I treat it as such.
It's not a "some times" statement, it posits that humans are capable of living reasonably without being forced. That people sometimes behave unreasonably is a different matter.

And no assumption of good faith towards me?

> On to substance: You can have lots of things within a country that make the economy "more free" or "less free". Yes, you could have internal tariffs (or, if you prefer, taxes on the movement of goods between states).

Next time, I'd appreciate you start with the "substance" and leave out the rest. The generally accepted definition is "between sovereign states".

"A tariff is a tax on imports or exports between sovereign states. It is a form of regulation of foreign trade and a policy that taxes foreign products to encourage or safeguard domestic industry."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff

Tariffs are a foreign trade tool.

> You seem to have fixated only on the idea of tariffs as the one and only possible restriction on the freedom of the market.

Nope. I said no free market can have protective tariffs. I didn't say it is the only restriction of free market.

> I don't think that's correct.

Neither do I. And I didn't claim it. You seem to be creating a straw man here. Attributing things to me that I never claimed.

> I also don't think it's warranted by WalterBright's comment.

Sure it is. WalterBright's assertion was that the north was a free market. This is factually and historically incorrect as I have shown ( with sources ).

Let me simplify it for you.

WalterBright: North was a free market economy.

Me: No it wasn't because a free market economy cannot have protective tariffs.

Claiming that the north was a free market economy is as wrong as claiming that the south didn't have slaves. It's factually incorrect.
Nope. And they're not really. Imagine a simple computer with, say, 32 bytes of ram.

All our bytes of ram are numbered. We read a value from byte number 8 and that value is 17.

"Byte number 8" is a pain to remember or calculate so we give it a label and let the computer keep track. That's a "variable".

What does that 17 mean though? Is it a value we want to use later on? It might be. Or it could be referring to Byte 17 in our ram. Byte 17 happens to have the value 42 so if we use Byte 8 as a pointer that's the value we end up with.

But it's entirely our choice. It's just a number and we can treat it as a value or a pointer to another memory address as we like.
If people openly believe that centralization of the web is bad yet we continue pumping unnecessary money into the tech industry - then surely this must mean we're in a bubble. How wrong am I?
He talked about more than just unique_ptr if you actually watch the video, but I don't even get why you're dying to have such a pointless argument here. When you see free lunches offered somewhere, do you start arguing with people how everyone is wrong and there is such a thing as a free lunch too? Is it so hard to actually take the point and just move on instead of dissecting it like a mathematical theorem?
RCU Usage in the Linux Kernel: Eighteen Years Later
Which one? There is 20 of them.
Yeah sure, all for rewarding employees who end up doing more work as a result but we need to separate the two issues. The parent flexibility was introduced almost overnight as a way to respond to systemic changes to childcare and schooling. There hasn’t been a lot of time to get things right but the need for this flexibility was clear immediately. So yes, let’s keep figuring out how to take care of all employees during this time but let’s stop framing it as a parent vs. non-parent issue. This is just one class of employees, parents, who needed immediate relief and some companies stepping up and providing that relief. Instead of complaining about a new benefit for parents, work with management to find a way to help all employees in a way that feels equitable to all. We’re all still just trying to figure out how to keep moving forward in a world that changed suddenly.

I don’t know how to respond to the opportunity comment, I’m not sure I understand your point.

In fact, it's even possible to invalidate a patent on a motion to dismiss. See https://www.knobbe.com/news/2018/12/invalidating-patents-und...

The first linked article (commentarymagazine.com) suggests that the Garnett/Matlaw translations of Dostoevsky’s "Notes from Underground" is a better translation than the P&V translation.

As an example, it says the following:

> ...His word for such acts of self-injury is, in English translations before P&V, “spite.” It is fair to say that to miss the concept of spite is to miss the work entire.

> But that is just what P&V do. Instead of “spite,” they give us “wickedness.” Now, the Russian word zloi can indeed mean “wicked.” But no one with the faintest idea of what this novella is about, with any knowledge of criticism from Dostoevsky’s day to ours, or with any grasp of Dostoevskian psychology, would imagine that the book’s point is that people are capable of wickedness.

From my copy of the P&V translation for this book, toward the end of the Foreword, Pevear says the following:

> There is, however, one tradition of mistranslation attached to Notes from Underground that raises something more than a question of “mere tone”. The second sentence of the book, Ya zloy chelovék, has most often been rendered as "I am a spiteful man." Zloy is indeed at the root of the Russian word for "spiteful" (zlobnyi), but it is a much broader and deeper word, meaning "wicked," "bad," "evil." The wicked witch in Russian folktales is zláya véd'ma (zláya being the feminine of zloy). The opposite of zloy is dóbryi, "good," as in "good fairy" (dóbraya feya). This opposition is of great importance for Notes from Underground; indeed it frames the book, from "I am a wicked man" at the start to the outburst close to the end: "They won't let me...I can't be...good!" We can talk about the inevitable loss of nuances in translating from Russian into English (or from any language into any other), but the translation of zloy as "spiteful" instead of "wicked" is not inevitable, not is it a matter of nuance. It speaks for that habit of substituting the psychological for the moral, of interpreting a spiritual condition as a kind of behavior, which has so bedeviled our century, not least in its efforts to understand Dostoevsky.

Translations are, by their very nature, open to interpretation and oftentimes small details and nuance gets lost. And then you get debates about things like the aforementioned comparison. As such, it's more practical to look for a good translation than the best translation.
