> Information can only be duplicated, not moved. It can only be shared, not taken. And since this feature means that "Idea Products" aren't scarce, how to you price it?

Non sequitur. Ideas generated (/recorded, transformed, interpreted, etc) by human labor or human capital are scarce because human labor and human capital are scarce.

> must we use a market for absolutely everything?

Certainly not, the more applicable question is whether the change we make to the status quo results in better conditions for people. Every economic system has strengths and weaknesses.

I don't disagree with the concept of a "bug bounty for information" but I'm struggling to come up with an idea of what that would look like in a way that is either more effective or different than patents.
negative feedbackers, please beware this is a sarcastic comment. I think the guy was manipulating the thread.
It’s both ethical and statistical. If you observe a strong enough effect, you can reach significance with less data. When people are dying, sometimes you throw a Hail Mary.
Hi OP, Good luck with this. I am very interested and wondering about what is after 6 years?: - The PoPs are meant to be purchased by retail investors, we've sold 35 of them so far. We're offering it as a franchisee agreement for a period of 6 years with a 70-30 revenue share split with minimum guaranteed revenue.
I'm certain there are many pleasant and warm places the globe over that are poor and isolated. People go where the jobs are. Nice weather is secondary. If we all start working in VR and location becomes irrelevant, then all bets are off. But why even have cities then?

Openpilot is accruing many trips/miles for their dataset, the model and data isn't open-source.

That appears to be where the gold is stashed to my eyes.

If the software is open source and works very well, comma will still have a long lead in developing a great self driving model for which the bricks are miles driven down the road in normal commutes and trips by real drivers in real world conditions.

Recently a user submitted, 'Make me breathe properly'[1] after watching James Nestor's talk to my problem validation platform. I assumed, upcoming Apple Watch(then) would be able to measure breathing rate (i.e. Number of breaths/minute) with pulse oximeter and EKG (Apple has a patent for this) which should solve this problem as Apple watch already had a breathe app.

Needless to say, Apple Watch Series 6 doesn't seem to have this feature and I assume that the accuracy was an issue as off the shelf pulse-oximeters which claim to measure both SpO2 and breath rate do a bad job at the latter.

No I dont, because I read that book and also know what American liberals talk about.

tbf, I think that's the purpose of the article.

The author wishes us to know they're happier about compliments on MR than the user on HN who obsessed about the article being written by a bot to the point of derangement (and perhaps more hurtfully, someone else who said "I don't think so" then edited the comment after reading more articles to say they'd changed their mind, but probably there was a human in the loop somewhere!)

GPT-3 wouldn't come up with the perfect clickbait title to post about being offended, so probably human :)
It's interesting that this bridge is still around. It seems like most of that society's energy was concentrated on building this bridge, and physical infrastructure of that nature. Its best minds and hands were at work.

Similarly, in San Francisco, many people live in 100 year old houses. It's not like we discovered better "must have" ways of building houses that made the old ones obsolete.

I honestly think things like the Linux kernel (going on 25 years) and LLVM (going on nearly 20 years) will still be around in 100 or 500 years, and basically nobody will have the time or a reason to rebuild them. Kind of like the PC BIOS is still around.

People won't really be working much in those areas, but rather on top. Just like we kind of build "on top" of houses now. It's infrastructure that we can use to make progress in other areas. It reminds me of "How Buildings Learn" by Stewart Brand.

Sorta. Fresh cheeses, like curds or paneer, don't have significant bacteria or mold colonies, outside whatever natural stuff happens to be on all food. All aged cheeses have bacterial colonies, that's what does the aging, fermenting the milk's sugars into acid and other tasty byproducts. Some cheeses have mold as well, but not all. Usually it's on the surface, and breaks down the milk's proteins which turns it soft. That's why when you slice into brie or camembert, the outside is the softest part: the white, fuzzy mold on the outside has done its work on the proteins there. Blue cheese has holes poked in it where they insert the blue mold spores, to more evenly colonize the entire cheese instead of the outside.

Many cheeses actually benefit from acquiring wild mold colonies. There are ways to tell which molds are "good" and which are "bad," which home cheesemakers can learn. Here[1] is a properly aging cheddar, wrapped in bandages and allowed to mold. The mold gives some flavors, but more importantly dries out the cheese's exterior and acts as a guard to prevent nasty bacterial infections from getting into the "good stuff" in the middle.

I see.

Now I don't understand how the experiment works at all. You can't make the choice for them; and you can't be sure their choices are random. They may have preferences before the experiment, based on whatever. The conclusion that the act of choosing changes their preference seems impossible to prove.
> this big co strategy of "mine. I profit now. everyone who built up this useful thing can suck eggs" really sucks and sucks for the humans and sucks for Open Source.

I think the software community is having an "I never thought the leopards would eat my face" moment.

The community pushed for a long time for licenses that donated labor to corporations because the licenses sounded more "free", and that flattered their politics.

When the corporations actually pick up the value everyone left on the table, the community gets outraged.

ISPs generally are able to pinpoint the originator of the traffic, ie. for a given connection 3-/5-tuple provide information on the originating customer, their physical address, contract data, etc.

This is the tradeoff when registering an ISP in the jurisdictions I'm familiar with: you are immune to legal action concerning the data that is carried over your network (ie. you won't get raided for a customer sending death threats), but in return you must cooperate with the authorities and provide data on your offending customers. You must do whatever is necessary to be able to provide this data upon a subpoena: from assigning static IP addresses / CGNAT port ranges to customers, to logging every NAT translation from your roaming mobile network.

So you do admit that you have no idea what the current government party is in the UK and that you did not read or understand the article you linked. Fair enough I guess.
Even more smelly is the precision of “5:31 AM.” I am not sure hour:minute was a clear and universal concept in 1357. At the time, “canonical hours” were used (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_hours ); they corresponded to night watches and bell tolling times, and certainly weren’t notated like “5:31.”
There's also the issue that cases of flu are remarkably low this year because of all the mask wearing, social distancing &c. Comparing apples to apples, coronaplague is about 10 times as deadly as annual flu.
I've been able to do it since I was a young child. One method is by activating the tensor tympani muscles and tensing the front of my neck from my jaw (while making a frowning type facial expression - aka make yourself look like a cardassian) - that's the best way I can describe it. There's another way that involves tensing the base of my skull. I can also move my ears, so I wonder if being able to move that muscle plays into this.
Please explain Twitter's view on the following:

I don't care about what is in the article. The NYPost is the #3 newspaper in the US. This story is not from Guccifer 2.0. If NYPost publishes something, it is shareable. It is not up to Twitter to "re-edit" major news sources. If they start doing that, they are a "publisher" and no longer a "platform."
I'm kinda sick of these parallels being drawn between things that societies prioritize to the natural world. Economics isn't a study of the natural world. The ecosystems driving crabs to the beach has nothing to do with capitalism.

I skipped the last one completely and nothing Ive heard about it inspires me to give it a chance.

If A implies B (A -> B) then you cannot have A -> C
Unless you meant it can imply both, but then still A implies B.

A dog (A) has 4 legs(B). Something that does not have 4 legs (not B) is not a dog (not A).
A cow though (not A) could still have 4 legs
FWIW, that is mostly gut feeling, I don't have good data on that. I probably should have softened that sentence. And it's not really that Haskell is missing some sort of optimization here, it's that these things all tie together: Rust tends to monomorphize a lot, which produces more code in general, including stuff to get inlined. It's one of the big challenges to get things to compile quickly; they're sort of inherently in tension with one another.

Would a restrictive open-source license even have stopped them? Would any American court fine an American mega-company over something like this?

How does that even work, anyway? If the developer were outside of America, would it still have to be taken to the country where the company resides? There's no international court I know of that would handle these kind of things.
IDK... lets remember that this is a low stakes game. At worst, someone is now cross with aws product people.

Also, it's not like we're talking about arcane pleasantries that no one could have anticipated. Say JKRR opens Harry Potter, copyleft or something. You record an audio version and sell it with great success. Is it not obviously courteous to mention her in some way?

It's even moreso, if you are aws, and JKR is just a regular author.

I'm curious why you called it a "science". It would be very interesting to see yoga developed with a scientific approach.
It would have to be much cheaper. I would guess a front camera from a Tier-1 supplier will cost the manufacturer some millions in development (fitting in physically, UI, and protocols) and then a few hundred per device once. Tier-1s optimize for every cent for mature features like ACC as the margins are low.
Then why don't manufacturer just use openpilot ? afaik its free and the code is in the github.
Awfully presumptuous to assume that just because their friends aren't waiting 3x as long as they need to, that they're bad friends.

The one thing I don't understand is how the original posts were driven into the river bed. You have to deal with the current, deal with the fact that wood floats, deal with a long post, have to have a means of driving it down far enough, etc. I imagine that nowadays they'd use a pile driver on a huge barge with engines that can automatically compensate for the current, but I can't imagine what the equivalent was back then.

Define 'hospitalized'. I think two realities are being discussed under the same term.

The way I see it, hospitalized can mean: I have great insurance and I went into the hospital for treatment because I felt some symptoms. I was feeling 80% well when I went in, I was only there because the doctors wanted to be thorough and check my vitals overnight.

It can also mean: I don't have insurance and I waited until I was half past dead to go to the hospital because I have bad/no insurance. By the time I got to the hospital I couldn't even breath. I went straight to the ICU.

Both are 'hospitalized'. But I don't think the two examples represent the same reality. I'd imagine Remdesivir working very well on the first and not very well on the second due to viral load concerns mentioned in other parts of the commentary to this article.
>3. Information on common accident types in the area I am driving in.

I think this one is incredibly important. Although drivers/AI need to maintain an adequate level of preparedness for general situations... cities and police departments have historical data for accidents. There should be notifications about specific things to look out for. Net-net this might actually reduce accidents
There's probably oodles. Off the top of my head, there's Apple's web page for X11. Except for a spinal tap joke, the whole first section of the page was devoted to the acknowledgement that they were building on top of OSS from XFree86.
When it comes to regulations, we should have both less and the same; the same requirements in less paper.
Interesting, thanks for sharing.

May I ask, did you consider Go and decided against it for any reason considering your requirements of quick development, cross-platform, interoperability are all guaranteed features of Go which should have given better peace of mind considering a production application?
Both do nothing whatsoever for me.

>Hoping that a company like Amazon finds it in their hearts to always do what _you_ consider "the right thing" is just a loser of a strategy.

Sure the author can't require payment after the fact, but there are no open source licenses that prevent the author from soliciting payment from a downstream user. This is all fair game.

>You seem to want all of the good of open source, with none of the downsides.

If you do it right there aren't downsides. As far as business is concerned, the point with choosing any license is to create a win-win situation for all parties involved.
I know some of the bureaucracy and economics that go into infrastructure today, but I feel like the decision to commit to a 45 year bridge must've been a whole different consideration for them back then. But then again, they spent much labor and resources creating tombs like the Pyramids.

The fundamental design of the Internet was to be robust against various forms of damage to the network. I see Silicon Valley as a similar type of system. It is not difficult to look back 40 years and see how at each inflection point, The Valley's constituent technologies, and the companies they spawned, led the rest of the world and scaled The Valley up.

- In the 1980s, Silicon Valley's Intel lost it's dominance in DRAM production to Japan. The economic impact was dire, and yet

- In the early 1990s, networking and workstations emerged from the likes of SUN and Cisco. They carried through until global competition stole their wind, and it was on to

- The late 90s and the .COM boom. And what a boom it was, Amazon, Google, followed by another death knell for myriad .COM corpses. Promptly engendering

- The 2000s birth of social media. MySpace faltered, then LinkedIn, then Facebook, then Twitter, came up and are still going strong on the foundation of

- 2010s open source platforms. Still mind-blowing: At one point WhatsApp had 40 software engineers and 400,000,000 users. At 3 years old.

I've heard about the exodus from California, usually citing so many thousands or 10s of thousands of people leaving. But looking a the net population changes, Santa Clara County is down 5,000 from 2018-2019. Alameda, San Mateo, San Francisco are all up.

Silicon Valley is a system that regenerates from one generation to the next, and so far, always bigger and more influential than the last.

"Instead of acting with compassion and trying to convince people of the dangers of this disease"

Like that hasn't been done non-stop since the world heard the term "coronavirus"?

A significant percentage of the population prefer not to listen to the science and instead believe in conspiracy theories. Science literacy in the general population is abysmal. That's just a fact.

Many people prefer to listen to what their morning talk show tells them than listen to the CDC.

This kind of ignorance could be overcome to some extent through massive information campaigns, but so far the US government at least is incapable or unwilling to do that. If anything, on some of the highest levels it's doing quite the opposite.

That kind of obviously harmful attitude is not just ignorant, it's borderline malicious.

People certainly have and will probably continue to die because of it.
