> For movies or music for instance, something like 3 year period of copyright ownership would be fine.

Great line of thinking. But I think the idea of earning income from a creative work throughout one's life also has value.

A compromise is to retain the existing copyright periods (after which works go to the public domain),but after 5-10 years of creation, works would become free for non commercial distribution. So Netflix would still have to pay for movies in their catalog. But me torrenting it from people freely sharing it and playing it on VLC would be legal.
> Quite frankly, the pills work.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. I had a seizure because of medication I was put on for a mental illness I didn't believe I had. I wasn't 18 and my parents essentially forced me to take them. The pills didn't do anything for me besides give me a seizure that easily could've killed me (I was hospitalized).

There's also actual research suggesting these pills can increase suicide attempts.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3353604/

There is enormous money to be made suggesting these pills are useful, so I don't just assume it to be true. I also know many other people who feel anti-depressants ruined their lives. I also know many people who feel anti-depressants saved their lives.

It's not black and white. Personally, I feel the efficacy of pills for mental health are greatly exaggerated - but it's easy to see why I might be biased.

youtube-dl can still be used for reference so that people can use as it as a starting point to learn to scrape video. If enough people take an interest in fixing their local youtube-dl individually when things change and it stops working, even just for themselves, means that the video scraping knowledge is more widespread. Maybe that is a bit of a pipe dream, but it is something people can do if they really care about it, there is certainly the motivation now. Yeah, it's going to be a lot more difficult now that there is no longer a centralised community for it.

They do work. They also harm many people also.
I'm curious if there's data to back that up.

I would be unsurprised if it's true. The reality that DDG is going to have is that search is almost inherently personal, as an artifact of the imprecision of language and the lack of surrounding context. It applies to some searches more than others, but something like "what is vanilla?" Has a whole variety of answers. What is the substance vanilla? What is made out of vanilla? There's probably 80 different software frameworks that use vanilla in the name. Who knows how many companies have vanilla in their name. Oh, or it could be that you mistyped Manilla, which has its own set of results.

Personalization let's you cut down on that. Maybe this person searches for Python stuff a lot, so there's a good chance the frameworks are what they're looking for. Or, the inverse, this person looks up recipes all the time, they probably know what vanilla is so don't show a full page of "this is where vanilla comes from" results.

Lacking that context, they have to assume the same context for everyone, so either everybody gets a full page of web frameworks or everyone gets a full page of frameworks; DDG has no way to tell which you're probably more interested in.
The past paragraph is funny to me - in my experience the same wattage is much easier on a rowing machine exactly because it uses more muscles. Sure I’m primarily using my legs, but they get a slight rest each cycle when I’m at the tail end of the stroke and using arms/back.
So... just give up?

A single square meter solar panel which costs on the order of $100 will outproduce a human.

I agree with this viewpoint. A more non-statist communism (re: unions and local area orgs that manage 90% of all needs), worker coops, less power for D.C. more for states and local municipalities.

healthcare being ran by a union of worker coops, that all pay taxes into the union of unions to manage healthcare for all members (workers and consumers who are members of the union)... Don't want to be part of the union then don't and if your employer still has their own health ins. use that, or maybe they use ours anyways cause it'd be better... Either way options still exist with the best ones rising to the top like normal capitalism, just CEOs and execs wouldn't be paid as well, because their value is a lot less than they think it is.

For things like apples, it's actually affordable to pay humans to do it. Which is not to say that bee's aren't better than humans in most ways, just that it doesn't come down to 'no options'.

And like other people are saying, honeybees are livestock, they aren't 'nature'.
Ask HN: Cloud-free baby monitor over Wi-Fi?
Hi HN,

With a second kid on the way we want an extra baby monitor (with camera). RF reception in our house is pretty crap, so ideally I'd want something that uses the Wi-Fi network.

But no cloud, it should work without internet connection or dependence on some external service.

Anyone has a good recommendation?

Well here then is yet another layer of complication.

Linux has many more features than Windows, gives the user more control, respects privacy better, and is free even, yet consumers choose not to use it.

How far must a company or government go to create competition where the behavior of both the suppliers and consumers indicate otherwise?
I learned JavaScript in 1999, PHP in 2003, Ruby in 2009, Python in 2015, and Golang in 2018. Modern PHP (despite its historical reputation) and Python are pretty much a toss-up to me (both have warts, both are a blend of functions and objects, and both can be written very well or very poorly). Ruby and JavaScript are more elegant (I like how everything is an object), but Ruby has historically been very slow and JS developers have forgotten how to program (see left-pad, or the dumpster fire of npm modules).

In July 2018, I decided to go all-in on Golang. I like how fast it is, I like that it forces me to pay attention to my types. I wish that error handling felt less like yak shaving, but I understand the rationale. I write task-oriented servers/daemons, and CLI tools mostly, and it's great because it compiles down into a single binary with zero dependencies (which none of my other languages can claim), and it's extremely fast. It compiles easily for a variety of OS/Arch combinations, and as someone who can follow instructions to compile C/C++ code, dependency management is FAR easier than having to track down which "dev" versions of packages I need to install from whatever flavor of Linux or on macOS (via Homebrew). Overall, it's the best of many worlds for producing something that's easy for other people to consume.

These days, I do a lot with AWS, Docker, Security, Terraform, etc. I'm also going back to my web roots a bit on the weekends and looking at building a GraphQL API on top of DGraph, and the tooling for Go is really good. Lots of static analysis and linting tools are available to help me write the best code I can, and teach me when I've done something poorly.

My only big complaint is when I'm parsing JSON of which I don't know the shape. I end up with this nested mess of `map[string]interface{}` types that I have to sift and cast over. Even when I know the shape ahead of time, I still need to do the work to model it as a struct before I can work with it sanely. This is something that JS, PHP, Python, and Ruby all do with far more ease.

I still write in multiple languages frequently, but Go has become my go-to for a lot of things over the past couple of years.
Appreciate the input! I am considering getting my masters in CS at the local university where I live but am looking at any alternatives at this point. I believe my fundamentals are there, its this "coding stuff" I want to excel at.

In most of Europe actually.

In fact I am not sure if there's any other country that likes the "pull" model as much the United States does. Wherever it exists it's there mostly due to historical reasons - in the past it was not possible to quickly validate and push a transfer, so you needed credit card companies to underwrite a small amount of credit (between now and end of month settlement). Kind of similar like how the US is so backwards when it comes to regular bank transfers (good luck using SWIFT). And how the Fed dollar is not exactly the same as the eurodollar. Some countries just like to be special :)
> it will become the ideal work-style for executives

I personally don't believe in this. The executive role is already multifunctional - you need to were multiple hats on the same day or even at the same meeting.

The biggest problem most of the executives have is time. It is a problem even for a single company. I don't think any company is interested in a part-time CEO/CTO. Some exceptions are possible (Jack Dorsey, interim-CEOs) but no more than that.

However, for ICs this trend will happen. People are not limited by a location and can do Consulting type job in any location. It is a great opportunity for businesses as well - to hire part-time the best of the best.

> "Convenience" isn't a valid justification for fair use.

Not specifically for fair use, but convenience is a perfectly valid justification in my book to transform, edit, or save content for personal use.

[My body + my electronic devices] is a black box, and nobody has the right to meddle inside the workings of that black box. Once YouTube sends bytes into that black box, the extent of their control is done, and don't get to ask what happens inside after that. They don't get to know whether content got recorded on an organic brain or on a silicon brain within that black box, for example. The black box is private, and is not open for introspection.

They can only require that said black box not re-emit information that came from them, or derivatives of that information, back into the outside world.

> number of infringing uses

First of all, fair use is enough reason to have a tool.

But regardless, I don't believe downloading a video for offline personal consumption violates the spirit of copyright, and that's all that matters to me.

When Youtube, or anyone, sends any content into my personal LAN I can do whatever I want with that content within my private spaces and for my private viewing in any way I wish. If the law suggests otherwise, I don't believe in that law.

The law also banned women from voting, and colored people from from sitting in the front of the bus, and it's because of people who didn't believe in those laws that we are where we are today. Sometimes the law is wrong, and I firmly believe the law is wrong to say anything about how I'm allowed to save or consume content that was legally transmitted to a device I own for my own private use.
I'm gonna take you at your word on blindness and help out here.

> I wonder then why many countries enforce them in open spaces. Note, this meant as a honest question.

I think it's just simple to enforce and has very limited downside. We want people wearing them in public closed spaces because that's were they help the most and we don't necessarily care if they were them outside but the inconvenience of doing so is fairly minor. So the simplest way to enforce this is if everyone has to wear them to go outside of their home.

Thanks for the article.

> I've seen this a few times, but as far as I can see the current data are absolutely inconsistent. And the largest contact tracing study from India (recently published) was done with closed schools, so no information from there either.

I intentionally phrased as being an assumption as I don't have the hard data to back it up yet. It's based on the spike of cases observed here in Europe after the return to schools, in Belgium (for example) the french-speaking side went to school one week before the dutch-speaking side of the country.The dutch-speaking side is lagging in cases for roughly that amount.

> Actually, generating power with their muscles provides a valuable lesson for kids, whether or not the power goes out.

The article ends on this point about parenting philosophy, but I think the author does not set up or discuss it enough.

What I don’t exactly understand is the underlying suggestion to manufacture this project as a “hard lesson” for the children.

I believe it is widely understood that children learn very much by emulating their parents. So what the parent regards as important, their children will see, and internalize those behaviors.

When I see parents worry about children taking something for granted, it can look like parents feel regret about parts of them that they see mirrored in their children.

Just like the US could have treated Coronavirus seriously early on and helped keep numbers down, but chose to do nothing and now it's everywhere and doing far more damage to the economy.

Don't let murder hornets become the bee's new Coronavirus equivalent. It sounds like they're already dealing with plenty of pandemic-like issues as it is.

To quote George W Bush, who actually took pandemics seriously, "A pandemic is a lot like a forest fire. If caught early it might be extinguished with limited damage. If allowed to smolder, undetected, it can grow to an inferno that can spread quickly beyond our ability to control it."

So this, but with murder hornets.
Yeah, you used to be able to cache these shsh blobs and reuse them to install the same iOS image in the future again because they didn't change.

Since quite a few years the iPhone generates a new random nonce during each restore though and requires that nonce to be signed by Apple to proceed. This makes caching the response useless for downgrading.

Imho because it is highly opinionated and the designers of the language also suggests best practices.
They don’t do anything wrong in suggesting best practices although some of those best practices only work when you write infrastructure code and not micro services (with business logic) and some programmers cannot really compute that and they stick with the religion.

Exactly. Extremes of capitalism and communism are bound to lead to conflict and destruction because there is no way to convince everyone of something. But a well balanced society should be able to combine market based solutions with community based solutions where it makes sense.

Come on, this is "missing the forest for the trees" pedantics. I think you will find that the average bathroom in the US uses way above 5W.

Regardless, it's just an example. The DoE says the average US residential customer uses 909 kilowatt hours per month. Using your math of a committed cyclist that generates 1.8 kwh per month, you're still looking at under .2% of energy replacement. Which, again, even the smallest efficiency improvements in a house would completely dwarf what a human could produce.
