> Hiding inventions as trade secrets acts to protect these huge multinational corporations against this threat of creative destruction. This is the reason that huge multinationals lobby so hard for strong trade secret laws and weak patent laws. This is clearly shown in Musk’s low valuation of his patents and high valuation of trade secrets.

> Trade secret protection for inventions that could otherwise be patented is bad public policy because it stifles the progress of innovation and it consolidates money, markets and power into a few huge corporations that become immune to the threat of creative destruction.

I wonder what percentage of Silicon Valley tech corps exclusively use trade secrets (vs. using the patent system)?

Why have we as a society decided to fund the enforcement of trade secrets? Laws protecting trade secrets seem about the most undemocratic mechanism/phenomenon I’ve come across.

Won’t we look back in 100 years and laugh at the insanity of what is essentially violently-enforced ‘privatized knowledge’, enabled by our punitive justice system (being able to put other humans in jail for ‘theft’ of trade secrets)?

What if we move from private ownership accounting to commons accounting? [1] Would that enable us to more clearly see and organize the material natural resource flows in our economy, while at the same time unlocking the wealth of immaterial flows (digital knowledge/information)? In other words, by using a network resource accounting system proposed by Mikorizal, can we move away from using systems that enforce the artificial scarcity of knowledge?

> it seems to try to say things are simple or easy

That's an unfair mis-characterisation. The developers are not pitching a universal panacea that solves all your problems and handles every edge case. They are offering an architecture that simplifies many common scenarios, and one that is thoroughly developer-friendly when it comes to supplying observability and integration hooks for edge cases.

For this latter purpose it merely remains to bother with reading the (clean & elegant) source code to enlighten oneself.

On the contrary, the behavior w.r.t full-page replacement on non-idempotent verbs is extensively discussed in the Turbolinks repo.

The "Turbo Drive" component appears to me as essentially unchanged behaviour in Turbo 7.0.0beta1 from Turbolinks versions 5.x. Turbolinks was introduced in 2013, has many years of pedigree and online discussion, and is well understood by a large developer community. Turbolinks was always maintained, even being ported to TypeScript (from the now venerable CoffeeScript) ca. two years ago with no change in behaviour. Turbo Drive is, practically, just a slightly refactored rebrand of the TypeScript port.

The stuff everyone is so excited about are Turbo Frames and Turbo Streams. These are new, and may be used without adopting Turbo Drive: as with practically everything from Basecamp, the toolkit is omakase with substitutions. They are, nevertheless, complementary, so you get all three steak knives in one box.

The article suggests that using binary digits (0, 1) is the most efficient means of communication. I think I've heard something to this effect elsewhere. Why is that? Wouldn't a tertiary digit (0, 1, 2) be more efficient? An a quaternary digit (0, 1, 2, 3) be even more so? At some point noise would make it difficult to distinguish between the states, but I would think that it would be most efficient to use a digit that has a certain number of states with relationship to the noise floor. (More noise, fewer digits; in the case of no noise, analog would be most efficient. Although I guess by this argument, no noise would imply infinite capacity, which either means that there's a problem with my argument or it is a reason why noise must exist) Am I missing something?

> whatever the nature of the information — be it a Shakespeare sonnet, a recording of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony or a Kurosawa movie — it is always most efficient to encode it into bits before transmitting it

I had always assumed there were practical reason for using bits - eg it being easier to store in digital memory, or that it was in another technical way too hard to have a higher base than 2.

I didn’t realise it is preferable that way because it’s more efficient to transfer information in bits. It seems counter intuitive.

"Plato further taught the tyrant the converse: a man enslaved to another could preserve happiness if he possessed a just and well-ordered soul. Plato’s first visit to Sicily ended in dark irony: Dionysius I sold the philosopher into slavery. He figured that if Plato’s belief were true, then his enslavement would be a matter of indifference...."

And so Plato discovered the limits to speaking truth to power.
> NATO is a collective defense agreement.

At it's heart yes. But didn't that bring along the capability to form coalitions?

If we dismantled NATO what framework would a wide western coalition, as was deployed in Libya rely on?

Can you magically make distinct militaries of different counties coordinate logistics and operations together?

My point is that, besides the mutual defense agreement, NATO coordinates training and integration of capabilities across borders, without which I doubt we launch coalitions as we did in Libya or Kosovo.

Both of these followed a UN resolution. In Libya there were participation from non-NATO members, yet these coalitions were NATO-led, why? Probably because NATO was the only organization with experience, training and infrastructure to coordinate such a coalition.

Hm? SEC actions against ICOs and whatnot have been regularly covered on HN.

Even cryptocurrency aside, government enforcement against unlawful forms of non-traditional finance is something many people are interested in.

More than a few people here have faced the decision of accepting a more traditional legal fund-raising model or trying some vaguely legal ICO scheme that put them in direct competition in the fundraising market with outright scammers and had to make hard decisions.

Enforcement actions make it clear that people who chose to avoid those waters weren't just leaving money on the table for no reason.

> It does take a little time to adjust to the honor code, but among all the things learned at WP, this one stuck with me the most. I (and many of my friends) came to literally hate lying/cheating, and to disdain those who do. But there’s another route that is taken too — the opposite, where some cadets become very good at lying/cheating.

Honest question: Don't you think that is systemic within the Military itself and is one of the trademarks of its so called culture? Which is why the State will go the lengths it will when things are leaked and given how Assange and Snowden are treated when they prove Intelligence agencies lied (supposedly crimes punishable with long term sentences) to Congress and the US Citizens?

I come from a military family and the hypocrisy is suffocating, any time you even suggest what it really is (Empire) its like the scars from the kool-aid levels of indoctrination re-open and they leap to extremes about fictional forms of 'terrorism' to rationalize their existence with even more lies.

I stopped talking about illegal interventionism by Imperial decree that violates the US Constitution (and their supposed sacred oath) long ago, as every conflict since WWII has not been declared by Congress. And most are Intelleence Agency led conflicts, that now last decades with no end in sigh based on lies to make private contractors incredibly wealthy. Let alone that that their is no (intentionally so) provision in the US Constitution for a standing Army (and defined limitations of conflicts) but only a domestic Navy to protect trade routes from pirates and states nothing about protecting 'freedom' abroad all while the US systematically becomes more an more of a surveillance-police State with ever more eroded Civil Rights and Liberties that are only rivaled in scope by the CCP, which is now he US' supposed Enemy #1 after all the pro-China rhetoric from the Obama/Biden administration years prior to now?

You say you hate lies, and talk about principals but how do you contend with this very blatant contradiction that is clear to anyone who cares enough to pay attention within it and not want to hurl yourself out of a building? In my lifetime alone, the US went from a place where people took massive risks just to have a chance to be to a place where its own Citizen's will pay an exhorbarnt amount of money if they have it to leave because of this Imperial interventionism and the degrading quality of Life due to an over-inflated currency to finance these Corporate-led headlong excursions that lead no where but death and misery have made it not worth it.

Batch Processing Data Much Quicker with TiSpark
The common theory is of the RNA world. In theory, if the entire organism is just a long RNA strand, there is no need for proteins or lipid bilayers. How such an organism emerged in the first place is already quite hard to know.

Actually lipid bilayers are extremely complicated as they have to filter what gets into the cell and what doesn't, as well as what might leave it. Earlier systems might have done without them and instead attached everything onto long chain like structures... You know like a keychain. Both RNA and Proteins are long chains so maybe that's how they evolved.

>Film professors who only want to talk about art, not the artists, play a role in perpetuating this ongoing injustice.

I agree that there is an injustice in the willful ignorance one must have to abstract the art from the artist during discussion -- but frankly if we were to focus more heavily on the damaged artist during the discussion of art :

A) the topic drifts from aesthetic appreciation to a mix of criminology/sociology/psychology/hearsay/pop-culture trivia information

B) it's an on-going philosophical/ontological debate as to whether or not the actions of the artist should be considered within the scope of the discussion of the art.

To expound on B : It's fairly well understood that if I showed a painting of nearly any skill level to 3 groups of people, and I differ the backstory between the three of them, I can easily manipulate the surveyed aesthetic appreciation from each of the test groups.

If that effect is well demonstrated, and the topic of study and discussion is 'Art', and i'm asked to create an analysis of the aesthetic of a specific piece .. should I consider the artist backstory as a confounding factor with regards to any analysis I might do on the art piece?

Some people consider those confounding factors to be within the scope of artistic discussion -- some people don't.

Personally I find that only classical depictions of artists get a lot of heat about their personal lives : painters, directors, photographers, writers.

Meanwhile certain industrial designers and architects are on record as being wildly racist or misogynist, and no one mentions it or bats an eye... but then again industrial design and architecture are on the fringes of art where many seem not to realize the artistry element exists at all.
How much in lawyers fees do you want to pay to fuck a cake?

Point being, as others have said, it’s essentially a negotiation. Not a war.

Plus, I guess if the guy really could fuck the cake that gives him leverage and a negotiating position. If he can’t, then it’s moot.

And as other folks also pointed out further down, OP needs good legal advice and, to determine when the cost in time and money ends up being high enough and the probability of a lucrative outcome being low enough that it’s time to walk away.

Knowing those things can help make good decisions.
