The NET ecosystem is too heavily built for C#. The documentation is hard to use, and nearly non existent for F#. I looked at it before I started digging into Ocaml. I interact with Linux far more than anything else, I think Ocaml is just going to be more useful to me, more often.

I really admire Don Syme though. He's one of the most intelligent people in software, by my reckoning. Literally a brilliant genius in a field littered with mediocre hacks that work real hard to ship things. He's a real legend.

Thanks for the suggestion though. Maybe some folks will come across it for the first time now. It's a well designed syntax, and has some really interesting features. Units of Measure in particular is a really cool thing I've needed before, I usually just use data classes and decorators in python to do a lookup, and just pay the performance penalty. It's neat to have that info at compile time for free.

Also the rapid pace at which scientific progress is made may overwhelm society's ability to cope with the changes. That may be a moot point because i think were only talking about science serving as an advisory function but where do we draw the line as to what is an acceptable rate of change and what is not? See thing is there are a whole bunch of issues that need to be worked out. Im glad that this is being discussed in a public forum but as ive already suggested it seems these decisions have already been made for us and our discussion over them is mostly irrelevant. Its more a matter now of justifying what has been done over determining what we should do as a society. Nobody voted for this. But thats whats happening. So now we just have to deal with it and try to keep it from turning into something ugly.

Ring species are so called because their breeding relationships form a cycle. You're only describing a chain. You would have described a ring species if you could mate with your dog.

(Also note that while it's perfectly possible to walk up from humans to an ancestral slime creature, and then back down to dogs, most of the steps along that path will be shared between humans and dogs, like a Y with a very, very long leg. The recent common ancestor of humans and dogs would have already been a mammal.)
> It's hard to imagine any particular reason why a function would need to have "java" in its name in order correctly calculate the maximum of two numbers.

That's not the full scope of it's function, at least in a technical sense. It's also meant to be a utility system-level method and in Java standard library utility methods follow a certain organizational scheme so as to designate their system-level status. This status implies certain aspects of behavior not codified in the API name. Therefore this sort of organizational scheme can be argued to be of necessity and not merely an arbitrary design decision.

I think the common gap in many comments here (not necessarily yours, but in sibling postings of your original reply to me) is of an understanding between engineers that mostly use APIs and ones that write them. I'm in the latter category, so my perspective differs. APIs do have explicit contracts that are reflected in their parameters, names, etc. They also have an implicit contract, equally critical to their actual functionality, which needs to be accounted for when in use. Many aspects of organization, etc are firmly in this category and I believe no experienced API author can credibly argue otherwise. Thus behavior like this

> a set of automated UI tests written against TurboTax would also work with H&R Block's app

is of necessity to a properly functional API satisfying an implied API contract. A better example would be H&R Block and TurboTax disputing their workflow for a particular tax form because the workflow is a commonly practiced one by accounting professionals. The software workflow codifies an existing practice. By the Baker standard that appears to me not to be a copyrightable item. API code, in my view, is not dissimilar.

Judge Thomas had an interesting exchange re football playbooks with one of the lawyers. In his example, wouldn't it make more sense to state that the proper protection for a football playbook and its associated techniques to be a patent and not a copyright?

Yeah, I often thing that way too, and I think this mindset in programming (and also financial engineering) of taking any little gap and maximally exploiting it is very hard to deal with legislatively.

It's hard enough to make a web form secure, trying to do the same with emergency response legislation, when the nature of emergencies is that they often take unforeseeable forms, is an intractable problem.

I've been beating this drum quite a bit lately and I understand this feels impossible from where we are, it feels impossible to me too, but the problem we really have to solve is figuring out a way to trust and be trustworthy when given certain responsibilities. Not just for emergency powers, for everything.

We don't have the technology to eliminate the need for trust, not even close. We have to work on constraining the threat model a little bit.
Average 1~5 tabs per window, with 1~3 windows for context (work/side projects/"news").

I mercilessly close tabs/windows to minimum necessary for current focus. It's a harsh environment, ensuring the least distraction, and only the best URLs survive long-term. Most are forgotten or lost, leaving just a memory if any.

>nothing in this article nor in the e-mail included in the article that suggests they aren't being sent for the purposes of being present upon a search warrant being issued or consent being given to search the individual's property.

sorry, man, the "initial exploitation" language is pretty clear:

"CTD is sending Fly Team Agents to cover interviews of individuals arrested during the night and early-morning hours this weekend. They will also conduct initial exploitation of phones, or other communication devices they are carrying."

It is pretty clear that there is no specific probable cause, no search warrant, no consent, just a fishing net. That is exactly the process you'd want and expect the tax dollar funded FBI to perform in case of exigent circumstances. It is just these days the protests seems to fall into exigent circumstances category. Or as one of these emails says

"I can help, though their definition of exigency will be different than ours..."

The FBI's job is to investigate crimes "in the United States". So far as protesters were engaged in crimes worthy of arrest the FBI is within it's pervue.

That said: if arrests were made outside of criminal investigation we would hope the data collected was not retained.

Understood that the portland protests are a politically sensitive topic... But the fact the FBI was using all of its capabilities in a situation that seems to have the hallmarks of one interesting to federal prosecutors is not surprising (to me).

> I cannot reconcile this sort of argument with the Baker v. Selden precedent.

Contemporary judges, including on the Supreme Court, aren't interested in reconciling Oracle's argument with Baker v. Selden; there's no love for Baker. Courts may pay lip service to the notion that ideas can't be copyrighted, but the prospect of ruling as a matter of law that specific, concrete categories of works are categorically not copyrightable (especially if they're not patentable) seems illogical to them. Previous hard exclusions, like those related to automobile designs, textiles, and databases are already on the way out, unfortunately, just like the idea that entry into the public domain is a one-way street. The case law has been slowly moving in this direction for at least 20 years, but it's too painful for many to admit despite judges (e.g. Ginsburg) being crystal clear about the direction they want to take things.

Judge Alsup's original opinion declaring APIs not copyrightable is brilliant and the best argument anyone could possibly make. It is the best argument, period, IMO. But the basic premise is just anathema to the majority perspective on courts' role regarding the application of copyright law.
I mean, that's not really a hiccup, it is a cornerstone of intelligence activity authorities. Sure, law enforcement officers can make up a bunch of crap that provides pretext for an investigation/other activities.

However, I think you are misunderstanding the legal definitions and elements for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence. The Canadian would not be considered under either definition unless they are acting on behalf of the Canadian Government as an agent of a foreign power. There are specific legal definitions for all these terms that are worth looking into[1].

I don't use FB personally, but I needed access to Business Manager for some client work so I created an account using my work email and tried to sign up for BM. They immediately locked the account, asked for a copy of my ID, and then permanently banned that account after I provided it. I have no idea why, there's no mechanism for appeal, and I can't even submit a request to have the image of my ID removed because that form is gated behind the account.

I'm thinking of a static analysis engine. "Look for function calls like this and replace them with calls to this shim and/or my new API." I am not sure how the shim could possibly be infringing as it would be my original work. (All new method names, all new module organization, all new namespaces. Maybe even different argument types, where possible.) There would be a version of the shim that would delegate to the original API, and another that would delegate to mine.
I'm 100% in agreement that a Facebook account shouldn't be required to use an Oculus.

But to continue on your tangent, I'm curious what people expect Facebook to do if they don't collect some amount of identifying information. On one hand they have a huge problem with bots, fake likes, and misinformation accounts, and on the other hand people complain about and avoid the steps they take to prevent those accounts. So, any ideas on the solution?
Thank you for the tutorial. It is quite a nice library, to be sure, and the freedom to work outside of the JS ecosystem, instead writing your servers however you please, seems ncie. However, I feel you are talking right past me to show me your library & dislike of JS. From my last message:

> how are you making this [...] not require a page reload or server round-trip after the user clicks on a Table row

The whole appeal of SPAs is they take perhaps 2s longer to start up than your normal webpage, and then you get lots of instant interactions. The example above is one of them. Your model requires server round-trips for every interaction.

I get it - you don't like JavaScript. I find your model quite nice and graceful for non-application purposes. It's certainly a brilliant way to render some types of data.

But for fully interactive applications where your user would want to have context menus showing applicable actions; good feedback on app / loading state; and avoid server latency on any type of event; I feel like SPAs are far superior.

I also feel like you have removed yourself from writing JS flavored HTML, but the solution of server-siding it introduces two problems. One is that you still need to hydrate and format that HTML somehow; I again think you can go a long way with templates, but if you're just using React on the back-end it seems ridiculous. Second, you have to take on all the rendering load instead of just passing thru some JSON-formatted DB results, which puts your server infra under far more pressure at less load to my eyes.

Final gripe: that interaction is not "pure HTML", you are using a JS library...
This seems like shooting the messenger to me.

The problem is that the legislature hasn't done its job. It isn't the job of the judiciary to monkey-patch the law to get a desired outcome. They should be interpreting the law as written and any negative consequences should be addressed by legislation.

> Different versions of an algorithm are different algorithms.

Splitting hairs like that doesn't change anything because it's still not the algorithm which you get a copyright on. It's the work of authorship implementing it.

But you can certainly produce multiple implementations of source code that are not only functionally equivalent in practice but actually generate identical machine code.

> Copyright protects how code is written not what it does. And the how applies just as much to interfaces as implementations.

The issue is that the interface is strictly the what it does part. Given the implementation, or the need for compatibility with one, the API is purely a factual description of the call spec. You can't rewrite it or it changes the what, which means there is no room to change the how, and the code correspondingly required shouldn't be copyrightable because it's purely functional and leaves no room for alternative compatible implementations.
No i do understand your point and i would agree that we need to introduce some science into the mix to protect us from our leaders and even ourselves in a sense.

There’s no federal statute, at least, against “domestic terrorism”. Domestic terrorists are usually prosecuted for the actual crimes they commit. For instance, Dylann Roof, who murdered black people in a black church, was prosecuted for murder and for a number of federal civil rights offenses, including hate crimes and violent obstruction of the free exercise of religion.

However, from an investigative and enforcement standpoint, it’s useful to have certain distinctions even if those distinctions have no statutory power. If you rob a jewelry store because you, personally, are greedy, that is investigated differently than if you rob a jewelry store in order to fund your anarcho-communist militia or in order to persuade the jewelry store across the street to sign up for your gang’s protection racket. It’s still robbery all three ways, but it could be terrorism or organized crime in addition, which would also imply certain other crimes (e.g. conspiracy).
