True, but that motivation was based on assumptions which are no longer true. Things no longer take effort to copy, and information can flow across the world in an instant. There is no longer any need to encourage copyright in order to get better information from foreign countries.

Those two are complete different concepts within copyright.

Oracle claim is that google copies of header files requires copy right permission, with google saying that header files are either not protected by copyright or that using them is fair use.

FSF claim in regard to dynamically linked libraries is that using them in a work creates a derivative work. For C code, software without its dynamically linked libraries won't even load past the linker, and in their view, a judge/jury will see the program as a single work rather than two independent works.

This court case will not define what is a derivative work or when two combined works should be seen as independent of each other. It may explore the limits of what is copyrightable and what is fair use, which is interesting in terms of API's and compatibility but less so for defining the limits of the GPL as an copyright license.
This is terrible physics!

~~First, the Z axis is commonly used to represent height rather than width.~~

Second, the mirror is not flipping anything.

It's just reflecting things in a straight line. This is easily demonstrated by holding a sign with a transparent background in front of the mirror. The image you see on the back of the sign aligns with the one you see on the mirror.

A person in front of the sign is able to read the words properly because, relative to you (and the sign) they are flipped. Their right eye is in front of your left eye and vice-versa.

The mirror gives the impression of a flipped image precisely because it's not flipping anything!

Edit: It's already been pointed out twice to me that Z for height is not in any way a convention. I never thought it was, which is why I used the phrase "commonly used" instead. Turns out that doesn't seem to be the case either, regardless of my personal experience so this is an acknowledgement of that mistake.
It's called a GPL condom, and that's a bit different in the end in that the GPL mandates GPL'ing code that links against GPL symbols. It's more of a contract than copyright. If you want to use these in your code, you must GPL, or reimplement at your leisure!

That's less Copyright in the sense that it's mandating the relinquishing of monopolistic control of the work product in question to the public. Oracle wants the opposite. They want Java used everywhere, and the right to sue anyone who does anything too similar to it too.

This is absolutely an act of monopolistic market shaping. No smaller firm would ever have utilized this nuclear option of a lawsuit given the widespread damage this could potentially cause to the entire software ecosystem.

This would honestly be enough to get me moving completely out of Software if the Court screws the pooch on this badly enough.

I'm not spending the rest of my life debugging code that as a matter of fact must be run through obfuscate steps to avoid copyright liability.

I was making an analogy in my mind between API function names and song titles. IANAL but I thought at first that it doesn't make sense to copyright song titles, they are generic and uninteresting most of the time but after giving it further consideration I realized that some can be quite meaningful, for instance everyone recognizes 'Stairway to heaven' and 'Bohemian rhapsody' therefore, even though it seems a bit silly I wouldn't be surprised if those song titles are in fact copyrighted which could mean copyrighting function names is not that different. I then decided to actually google this and found out that:

>Generally, copyright law protection does not extend to song titles because they usually are short and lack sufficient originality. Therefore, you can (and often do) have multiple songs with the same name, and the first to name their song, for example "Crazy," does not have the right to stop other people from releasing their own songs named "Crazy." An exception to this is that some long titles may be found to have sufficient originality to be afforded copyright protection. I suspect that my friend's song entitled "The Concept of the Quantum-Mechanical Bodymind Has Sparked a Great Idea" is one of them. [1]

The whole article from [1] is worth reading. I wouldn't be surprised if the final verdict will be similar to song title laws from the music industry.

> If Oracle ultimately wins, it seems like millions of programmers will have to reach for a thesaurus to find synonyms to name functions. We'll have to waste brain cycles coming up and alternative spellings of methods to stay away from copyright infringement.

This isn't how copyright works though. It's neither necessary or sufficient. If you copy an API but change the words using a thesaurus you are still copying it so it would still be infringement. If by happenstance you come up with the same wording in your API, then that would not be copyright infringement because you didn't copy anything.
A bsd family licence allows the next programmer to add on new legal restrictions (e.g. no modifying the binary, no distributing the modified binary, no reverse engineering the binary, ...).

In a world with no copyright the source code requirement dies, but all the remaining freedoms stay intact. Reverse engineering and decompilers become much more important.

The phone development environment, even with the excellent physical keyboard on the Samsung Sidekick 4G, was never really all that productive for me. I sure thought it was cool though.

These days, I get more done with a light and cheap Chromebook, either inside the Linux environment itself, or just running SSH to my desktop. The size and weight aren't too bad, and I can type much faster with a nearly full-sized keyboard.

I'm still in the market for a sub 3lbs convertible Chromebook with a 13in 1080p screen. But I'll make due with what I have for now, at least until the battery dies.
The majority of adderall breaks down through the urea cycle due to urine acidity. Enzymes don’t play as significant a role as they do for other drugs. That’s why baking soda is the best potentiator for amphetamines, as it neutralizes urine acidity.

As someone who was involved in a RealSense project I might be able to answer...

Firstly, RealSense cameras are really affordable. I think the cameras we were using were around $80 a piece. Cost was an important consideration for us because we were building a multi camera device and to do something similar with Azure Kinect would have cost us several thousand dollars.

Another thing we like was how great the Intel RealSense SDK is. They have official wrappers for multiple languages along with sample code to get you started.

The RealSense ecosystem is quite healthy too – at least for a niche technology. RealSense cameras have a proven track record in various commercial devices and the development forums are fairly active. We found we could find answers to most common questions and problems we had.

Another nice thing about RealSense is that they have a great range of cameras so they have something perfectly suited for every application. For example, some of their cameras use stereo vision while others use LIDAR or structured light. They also use the same SDK for every camera which makes swapping out cameras fairly easy. We were using structured light cameras, but we were able to swap them out with Stereo and LIDAR cameras with no problems at all.

Azure Kinect looks interesting. I've wanted to play around with one of a while, although given its price and feature set it wouldn't have been the right camera for us. It's probably a good all-rounder for general robotics / vision projects though.

Kids should be taught whatever their parents know well, starting as early as possible. If the kids have no aptitude or interest in those things, they should eventually be dropped. But when you teach your children what you know, you get to take advantage of the fact that your children have an interest in and an admiration of you, and you might be able to cram in the basics of a trade that they can always fall back on later in life.

> Kids should be taught programming when they express an interest

If we felt this way about other subjects, we would never teach 95% of kids math, or 50% of them how to read.

edit: the best outcome is that they might love it, and if they do will probably end up far better than you at it, and will make a trustworthy business partner once they reach adulthood.

Given that presumably Tesla's goal is to take battery costs down by 56% in 3 years from (108 - 140 $/kwh) to (50 - 70$/kwh) and widely held consensus is that 100$/kwh is the price point at which EVs are no brainer on upfront costs with ICE cars, i feel that there is a long way to go.

However, i think any successful real world demo starting with niche applications will help. We need all the battery tech to succeed.

The Mystery of Grigori Perelman
After going over the laws(i am not a lawyer) my reasoning might be a bit backwards. I think it would not be a 107 exception but an argument over the technical facts and the creative work contained in an API. To be compatible you have to create a copy of the facts an API describes and copyright is rather limited on collections of facts.

Any ISO requirements about reasonable patent licensing would be irrelevant here, because this case is about copyrights (albeit a very patent-like category of copyrights that Oracle is trying to establish).
If the Supreme Court does not find in favor of Oracle, it could undermine the basis for copyright law entirely. Google copied Oracle's code. The CAFC found, correctly, that API declarations are as expressive and protectable by copyright, as any other code. Therefore, finding that the Java APIs are not covered by copyright, or that copying them was fair use, undermines copyright entirely: if the unique expression of those Java APIs are not protectable by copyright, what is?

To me it seems like there has been a much larger issue of photographs, movies etc. being digitalised at some point years ago using some standard of the time, after which the originals were discarded because "there, now it's saved and the old ones are an inferior media anyway".

Becoming a Consultant in 2020: A How-To Guide

There’s a ton of reasons why becoming a consultant might work for you. One of the great things about starting your own consulting business is that it doesn’t require a big outlay of cash. Starting a consulting business can be accomplished fairly simply by finding businesses that need help with a specific challenge and offering them your help solving that problem.

That said, simple definitely doesn’t mean easy. I struggled for a long time to get clients and communicate my value. In this post, I wanted to share some of the lessons I learned so that some of you don't have to make the same mistakes. Consulting is a different game in 2020.
