You don't sue a company by contacting customer service. I'm pretty sure they need to have some official representative on file somewhere, and you could probably serve them the lawsuit by sending a certified letter to their official address.

The bigger barrier is Google/Youtube almost certainly have an arbitration clause in their terms of service.

> No, open source means the same thing it's always meant since the term was first coined. See the Open Source Initiative's Open Source Definition: https://opensource.org/osd.

Problem: The OSI did not coin the term 'open source'. OSI partisans claim that Christine Peterson coined the term at a strategy meeting in Palo Alto on 3 February 1998. However, the term and the concept was well known prior to that. Martin Tournoij does a decent enough job of collecting prior citations [1] that go all the way back to 1990. All the OSI did was take an existing philosophy, scribble some new restrictions in crayon, and called it Open Source(tm)(c)(pat. pending).

Honestly, though, I do love it when this comes up. It gives me the opportunity to irk new guys telling them that Lyle Ball, head of public relations at Caldera, has an earlier citation than the OSI in the form of a press-release announcing Caldera OpenDOS[2][3]. :D

Right, but his whole point is to defend the idea of saying, "what if the math is the reality, what happens then?" It's sort of the same jump that pushed QM forward in the first place of discarding all the assumptions about particles and orbits and just went purely to what was necessary directly in the math.

In the paper he advocates going farther and saying, there's no independent "space" just the vector and space(time) emerges purely from the evolution of that vector.

> > Under the license another company couldn't setup a replacement.

> I'm confused here -- the new 'open core' is available under the SSPL, which clearly allows this, as long as you provide the source code of any management layers as well. The non-open parts already weren't available under the Apache license, so nothing has really changed there.

This is essentially a legal "gotcha", given that "management layers" is not defined anywhere. The purpose of the clause is not to encourage companies to "open source everything" (what does that even mean? Do they need to open source their IPMI firmware?), it's to prevent anyone from going anywhere near it.

Do elastic.co open source all the management layers in their stack?
> Apple has been really dumb about antitrust law before. It’s not unrealistic to think they’d be dumb again. It’s not even dumb if you’ve been doing it routinely for years and only suffered consequences once or twice.

This logic might have held 5 years ago but doesn’t hold now. All the large tech companies are under heavy scrutiny and there are multiple anti-trust cases in play. The US administration appears to be anti-trust friendly, and there are hostile companies deliberately backing as many anti-trust actions as they can against Apple.

It makes no sense to imagine they would play into this for a minor discount on purchasing a trivial app.

It’s just as likely likely that a lawyer and an angry developer think it’s worth seeking a settlement in the current climate.

I agree there are hypotheses by which they could have done this but it’s bullshit to assume they must have done this.
Another commenter pointed out that the general idea of denaturing a protein is interfering with noncovalent interactions, generally by interrupting the structure that the complete sequence takes after the folding process. These structures give rise to the classic shapes that proteins take, the loops and sheets and clumps of atoms you see in renderings. The other commenter mentioned cooking, and this process is the same that happens when you cook an egg, the proteins in the egg white are denatured and turn into amorphous strands of protein.

However there is a difference between a denaturing process and a lysing (breaking) process, meaning that the actual covalent, chemical bonds between the component amino acids that make up a protein are broken. This bond is called the peptide bond, and they are extremely stable, and to break them without enzymes requires some crazy conditions like strong acids or bases and high heat and long periods of time. There is a class of enzymes called proteases that catalyze and speed up this breaking-down process, which is what cells use to digest and break down proteins.

I just want to make clear that for me, write ups containing this level of detail analyzing the error that occurred give me greater confidence in the company rather than less confidence.

If someone wins a lottery we can then say "what are the chances of this specific person winning - they are very low" - that would be Texas sharpshooter fallacy, because the chance of _some_ person winning somewhere is high, we simply drew a target around the winner and restated the question.

But this is not what is happening. What is happening is more like you finding three tickets under your rug in the morning, checking the numbers and finding out that you won jackpots in all three, and then choosing to believe that they are winner tickets by chance (believing in consciousness is everywhere) as opposed to someone planting them there (only humans are conscious or some other similar explanation).

The key difference between the two is that in the second case there are no multiple possibilities - it's about one person - you, you either win or loose, so we cannot select "winners" after the fact in this case.

> what if people have fewer children simply because they want to

> The whole tone of discussions about low birth rates always contains this implicit assumption that there's anything wrong with it

First, only certain societies have only recently arrived at a value that there is nothing wrong with having more kids. Traditionally, having babies and raising them was considered to be of utmost importance.

Second, it still is of utmost importance given how our societies are structured. You want to work until your 60's, then retire and live until mid-80's? Fine. But who is going to work/pay for your food, entertainment, healthcare, security and general societal infrastructure? All those things need humans which you are not going to raise.

So "developed" societies seem to convince themselves that there is nothing wrong with not having babies, while at the same time utterly reliant on "underdeveloped" societies to import people from.

> investing more resources in fewer kids is what pays off

How do you plan to balance Social Security and budget with fewer people working?

I've been jamming with some friends on Jamulus. A complicating factor is that the effect of latency depends on what instrument you play. When I play an electric instrument (bass guitar) that makes little or no sound of its own, then it's easy to monitor my timing in the mix through headphones, and my fingers just adapt by playing ahead of the beat as needed. Our bodies have to do that anyway in order to play in time because initiating a note happens before the note comes out of virtually any instrument.

It's much harder when you don't have that isolation, for instance when I play an acoustic instrument, I have to turn up my phones to drown out the acoustic sound. And it gets still harder if you hear that instrument by bone conduction, e.g., horns or voice. The band adapts by the "easy" instruments taking charge of the tempo and letting the other instruments float around a bit. Still, it takes a lot of concentration to avoid getting lost, and just doesn't sound as good as a live performance of a "tight" band.

The band members have agreed that it's better than not playing at all, but might not be a good listening experience for an audience. Not necessarily because the delays are perceptible but because it sounds like the band is struggling to stay together. Of course other things are happening as well, such as lack of visual cues.

Fortunately we're all "of a certain age," and between the weather warming up and us getting vaccinated, we'll be playing together again.

Thank you very much for saying so!

It's a philosophy I've assembled myself from many sources, so there's no one book about it, but definitely a lot of sources of inspiration.

My understanding of the nature of time comes mainly from Julian Barbour's book "the End of Time", which itself is not an easy read and took me a long time to digest. Although, the philosophy is compatible with more conventional theories of time, as long as it postulates time as a structure that is somehow internal to a universe.

There's endless literature about Conway's Game of Life and cellular automata, although since it's used just as a metaphor here, it's enough to just play with the game itself for a while. Greg Egan's "Permutation City", while fiction, is an interesting exploration of the concept of the boundary between a simulated universe and the reality that contains it.

For more about how causality in our universe arises as a consequence of specific properties of nature, I'm not sure exactly what to recommend but maybe Feynman's lectures on physics are a good place to start.

For other perspectives on causality, Judea Pearl's "Causality" is a classic. But heavy.

Each chapter starts with an advert expounding the virtues of the wonder substance Ubik, which can be used as beer, shaving foam, kitchen cleaner, coffee, hairspray, antiperspirant and others. Each ad has a great little caveat: "Safe when taken as directed", "Avoid prolonged use", "Entirely safe when used as directed", "Safe when used in a conscientious programme of bodily hygiene", "Do not exceed recommended dosage", "Do not exceed recommended portion at any one meal" etc etc

> Well, in that video he is reproducing inputs with only modest frequency complexity.

Monty is making them with a signal generator, so that you can easily see what's going on and (if you have suitable gear) you can reproduce the results. The exact same phenomenon would happen for some hypothetical complicated analogue signal. Notice that Monty also demonstrates a square wave, which is in fact the maximum possible "frequency complexity" because of how audio is defined, even though chances are you're still thinking about it as very simple.

> Won't the compute burden depend on the frequency domain complexity of the input signal?

No, it's just resampling, the same way you would to go from say 44.1kHz (from a CD) to 48kHz (typical modern fixed rate DAC in a cheap PC), except you're maybe going from 40 samples to 1000 pixels if you've zoomed in that far. It'd use a windowed sinc function.

When I was growing up my father was pretty frugal, so he was very early on the train of replacing all of our home's lightbulbs with fluorescents. However, I don't think he really understood what color temperatures meant, so he always seemed to buy the bulbs with the higher temperatures. Higher is better, right? So he always went with the super sterile cold 5000K bulbs, and just as you say, home felt like some sort of weird sterile warehouse.
