Rules already exist around what you can and can't say as a short seller. What is it that you don't like about them? Do you think no one should be allowed to say negative things about companies?

Shorts can't drive companies in the ground if that's not where they're headed anyway. First of all most short sellers are not activists. The perception that shorts causing companies to tank is because activist short sellers are right a high percentage of the time so often their reports result in a quick price adjustment. Being an activist short seller is a very high risk activity so they tend only to pull the trigger when they have high conviction. For example I'm not sure Muddy Waters has ever been wrong in calling out an accounting fraud. I have a really hard time buying the line that short sellers bring down good companies (examples?) and the fact that people do think that seems to me more of an indication of the power of corporations and their management than anything else.

Well, that's the thing, isn't it? The app store (any app store) which has a review process and takes a great cut of revenue, should stand for quality and safety. Here, that's clearly not the case.

For another example, see Amazon problems with fake products.

What are the concerns here? Obviously police should be able to get warrants and obtain relevant security camera footage for a crime, and obviously owners of security cameras should have the right to volunteer their recordings to the police or to neighbors if they wish to in the absence of a warrant.

Some people want to create great, useful apps. That's what they want to do. They are willing to give away half of their earnings to different 3rd parties to just not deal with the bullshit. It's unlikely to be their full time job. They probably don't make that much money on it, cloning happens just when the app begins to make any reasonable profit.

So dealing with all your described is just not practical. Time is valuable. If somebody is creative and wants to provide some value, fighting with the system, preparing some documents, registrations hiring lawyers etc. is the last thing they want to and likely would rather abandon the project instead. Life is too short to deal with the bullshit.

Not to mention that even if what you said is very reasonable most developers will have no idea. It's scammers (efficient ones) that have to know something about copyright law, DMCAs and so on.

Problem is not that easy to solve. App stores can't spend too many hours on each app because there's tons of them, and if they would only invest time in helping those apps that provide enough profit to be worth it, that would create inequality and also many outrages over inevitable false positives.

That said there are of course many many things Apple could be doing better, especially given their fees. Also I wish subscription based model would just die. Should only be for cloud based services and wherever possible those should be optional. Or at least as simple thing as automatically not paying for months when you didn't open the app (with very few exceptions like storage services etc).

Btw, we should have some attribute for web that marks link as scam/negative. These tweets and HN homepage just made those scam apps easier to find.

Similar memories here, but I got very creative to fit inside the free SMS limit. The limit was something you'd ordinarily think ridiculous even on cheap plans, IIRC I had 1000 texts/month in the plan, and the equivalent for pre-paids was also very cheap. It turns out 1000 text messages a month is enough for everyone except teenagers in love.

Also I remember people in my circles laughing at Americans, because we believed that the US doesn't have SMS service for some reason.

Only phone numbers: your own contact list IS the social graph. You lose your SIM card, you lose your friends.

So, paradoxically, phone numbers were the easiest and most secure option to start with.
This can be done with a FUSE server. By using filesystem namespaces, an app can then be restricted to just the view of the filesystem that this FUSE server exposes.

"substantially" is the keyword that should have been emphasised there, and is actually in my post in the above and the wording that was used.

This is because when it comes to copyright law there _is_ such a thing as something being too insubstantial to be considered copyright infringement. "de minimis" falls under fair use.

> You seem to be claiming that modified copies and partial copies are not copies for the purpose of copyright law.

Lets break it down a little bit more clearly:

> Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this work for any purpose is hereby granted, provided this notice appears in all copies.

+ You are granted the permission to modify.

+ You must provide the notice in all copies.

If a work is substantially modified from the original, such that it constitutes a new work, it would no longer be considered a copy of the original, which is why you are now granted copyright on the new work at all:

> "Unless sufficient of the pre-existing work is contained in the later work so as to constitute the latter an infringement of the former, the latter by definition is not a derivative work." 2 Nimmer on Copyright § 8.09[A], p. 8-138 (2004); see Litchfield v.Spielberg

If you arrive at this point, where you are no longer a derivative because of the substantial divergence from the original work, it may no longer be considered a copy under copyright law.

For a random example from software, the source code for "alpine" the mail client, and "nano" the text editor have an undisputed shared origin, but arguing that they share substantial similarities today would actually be a difficult case to present.

The permission to modify has allowed you to create this new work, but you are no longer required to show the notice, because what you have is no longer a copy.

Whereas the wording in license such as the 3-Clause BSD license:

> 1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

Do not allow you to differentiate between a new work and a copy, and close shut that particular escape hatch.

There is a shortage of materials (ABF and glass substrates, PCB materials, GDDR6), that affects not only AMD/Nvidia but also car manufacturers (Toyota, Honda, VW, Ford etc.). It's caused by high demand and lower supply (due to covid)
I think there are two concerns. First is that many people might not want to have their lives recorded by a camera to which a massive global corporation has access to. And I don't mean the people volunteering the recordings, but other houses which might be in the camera's field of view without consent.

Second concern is the same, but for the authorities. Warrants are well and good, but if the access is easy, it's highly likely in time they will just drop the warrant pretense and just monitor the streams 24/7 'for our safety'.
>Just off the top of my head, but I think we all know extremism when we see/hear it.

I think there's a substantial amount of people that don't. Or rather, they can easily identify extremism in people they don't relate to while completely ignoring it in people that they find even the tiniest amount of common ground with.

This seems to be the natural and inevitable result of treating politics like a team sport for 200+ years.

Russian diplomat turns meeting to support Belarus into an attack on Estonia

"...After representatives had expressed concern for the situation in Belarus one after another and Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs Urmas Reinsalu proposed the creation of an international mechanism for investigating crimes against peaceful protesters in the country, it was the turn of the Russian representative.

"...Polyanskiy went on to say that claiming that a country's elections saw bias and fraud is not a rare occasion, giving the example of presidential elections in the U.S. Polyanskiy asked why potential election fraud in America is not a subject of discussion and referred to different treatment of elections in USA and Belarus as garish double standards.

"'Is there a list of bad countries somewhere regarding which colleagues in the West silently support anti-government actions and protests and 'good' ones where the powers that be are always in the right? Why are you paying exaggerated attention to such phenomena only in certain countries, while ignoring them in France, UK, Germany and, as it happens, also Estonia?' Polyanskiy asked."

Free is considered better by everyone everywhere.

Which makes me think back to the anti-open-source propaganda of the 90s, that hippie commies will ruin software by giving everything away for free. While this was ridiculed back in the day, I think we can see now that there was quite a big nugget of truth in it. In the past decades, we've discovered the perfect, competition-destroying, ubermodel of software distribution: free, subsidized by advertising. This model is a source of unending pathologies (including, but not limited to, the ones described in the article), and it cannot be reasonably competed with.
Our financial markets are built on the idea that the assets being traded (in each individual market) are effectively fungible. It's the underpinnings of the whole structure of finance.

Polish locker company InPost worth 9.5B Euros after Amsterdam Debut
This is not a generic and ideological objection.

This is an explanation of how it does actually work.

The brokers I have experience with either propose you to participate in a share-lending program with profit sharing (opt-in) or propose two different kinds of accounts and you can disallow lending but then the conditions are slightly worse (some fees are waived if you let them loan your shares).

The shares are not "stolen without your knowledge". If you're using margin it may be part of the conditions attached to that. Would you say that a broker liquidating part of your positions to satisfy margin requirements is also the broker deciding to steal your shares without your knowledge?

Now you are moving goalposts. Initially, you were discussing restrictions on the file system.

I concur that the current desktop security model is probably unfixable. All the tools to improve on it are here though. Android kinda solved it by restricting every app to its own assets and files by default. If the app needs more, it has to ask for permissions.

The problem with user approval for every single action is decision fatigue. It is already happening on Android: every app is asking for a ton of permissions. And it turns out that many of them are not granular enough. For example, Signal needs the numbers from the address book to find contacts, but nothing else. If I want that feature, I still have to give Signal access to the entire address book.

3-5 years I guess is a reasonable expectation, but all of the windows devices I have, have lasted longer than that. And keep lasting.

My Surface Pro 3 is coming up on 6 years, and my XPS 13 is close to 7. And the thing is; I can see ZERO reasons to upgrade. Both devices still have good battery life, and are perfectly fast for any day-to-day jobs I do, including running Visual Studio. I even use my surface for music production and it packs plenty of oomph.

PC improvements have slowed down so much in the last decade, it used to be that every 2-3 years a new computer would run circles around your old hardware. not so anymore.

A new SSD in 2015, a 2060RTX last year, and just now I bought an NVMe PCIe adapter and a 1tb drive. This thing is basically "top of the line" despite sporting a an almost 8 years old i7 Extreme 4930k.
