This does not match my understanding of the situation (though note: I am not a lawyer; take everything that follows with a grain of salt).

My understanding is that a jury's primary task of deciding on the facts is final. The facts in a case like this seem to me to be things like deciding whether Oracle in fact holds the copyright, and whether Google's copy of the API is sufficiently similar for that copyright to apply to Google's copy.

Now as far as appeals go, you can appeal whether the trial was done properly, such that the jury was able to do its fact-finding job correctly. You can appeal what was then decided based on those facts (e.g. sentencing). You can appeal meta-questions, like whether a particular decision is a "finding of fact" or not to start with.

The question of whether "fair use" is the sort of thing that is decided by judge or jury is apparently somewhat contentious in this case; I just found https://www.law.uw.edu/wlr/print-edition/print-edition/vol-9... describing some of the issues there. Today's decision refers to this as well: it's (c) under "Held":

> (c) The fair use question is a mixed question of fact and law. Re- viewing courts should appropriately defer to the jury’s findings of un- derlying facts, but the ultimate question whether those facts amount to a fair use is a legal question for judges to decide de novo. This ap- proach does not violate the Seventh Amendment’s prohibition on courts reexamining facts tried by a jury, because the ultimate question here is one of law, not fact. The “right of trial by jury” does not include the right to have a jury resolve a fair use defense. Pp. 18–21.

which sure sounds like the Supreme Court effectively decided that the final determination of whether a use is "fair use" or not should be made by a judge, not a jury. Then they proceed to make that determination in this case in holding (d).

The interview starts off really bad, comparing "AI" (which does not mean Artificial Intelligence here) with Donald Trump, and comparing making a system of laws for a large country with Google changing the order of the search results. Then he moves the goal posts on scapegoating the internet to "big tobacco was worse than facebook" to avoid answering the question.
Need Help: Find an Article
Help Me find a Medium.com article

There is medium article about a new cryptocurrency/blockchain project a with a new governance/remittance/stabilizing system. the article was written by a Russian/eastern European dude in English, i believe he is a ex-banker too. there was a website/whitepaper attached too.

the article must have published around 2017-2019, i found the link through hackerNews but couldn't find it anymore. I've literally gone through 1000+ articles to find it but in vain.
U.S. Supreme Court sides with Google in major copyright dispute with Oracle
I completely agree with the points the page makes, but I don't think it will turn away many from diamonds as it misses the point of getting a diamond. Shoving a diamond in an engagement ring might have been pretty cool the first few times somebody did that, but nowadays it's not at all interesting, novel or original; and I'm pretty sure people don't marvel at the way their gem disperses light after the first few days of having it pass.

This is what I think is really the reason people gift and wear engagement rings: upholding tradition and signalling commitment. Even if the tradition is "fake", created by De Beers marketing, isn't most tradition like that anyway? Artificial gemstones don't lie too well with people who care about the tradition of gemstones. I don't even think it's necessary to care for the tradition, I think the value of natural diamonds is pretty much burned into everybody's subconscious by pop culture. And the inflated cost is actually a "plus" for signalling commitment.

Don't get me wrong, I would feel pretty stupid if I had to buy diamond jewelry (if I could); I just don't think the article makes a good pitch, because its points don't hit close enough to the reasons people buy (or desire) diamonds. I kind of think that the article speaks best to those who are least inclined to buy diamonds anyway.
what kind of manipulations?

you can implement server side versions of most manipulations and then use htmx to trigger them and rerender the whole table, if that's acceptable from a UX standpoint

here is an example of active search that filters a table:

In general the court seems to try to go to the easiest decision point in a case. The copyrightability of an API is less relevant if the user being sued should win regardless because of fair use. This is better than a plurality decision where there's multiple reasonings on API copywrite that make future decisions difficult. Here at least the court gives guidance on how to think about evaluating fair use in this context, which lower courts can apply.
> he takes longer than he should

Ugh. I get that there are estimations for how long something will take but... Something takes as long as it takes. If consistently he takes longer to finish a task than estimated shouldnt the estimates be adjusted?

Assertion: a primary objective of most organizations is to establish and maintain independent control over resources (such as humans).

If true, then it follows that Amazon would reject unionization as the union would claim some controls over human resources. Amazon's interests might be in alignment with a union part of the time but anytime it does not the presence of a union means that Amazon has lost a degree of freedom for action.
Yes, because they get paid more compared to e.g. an Uber driver, and also there are typically things like minimum shift lengths and required breaks. It's not a bad thing, but helps explain why operator costs tend to be dominant.
That's literally the next sentence that you intentionally omitted.

And I've seen plenty of people paint Oracle as some evil boogeyman like this is some good vs evil struggle.

Oracle wasn't trying to make Bad Things happen. They were seeking damages from a damaging situation, and if bad things had happened... I'd blame the patent trolls and judges that enable them.

Their insanity continues regardless of the verdict after all, and there are plenty of otherwise reasonable takes ruined by their existence.
Google is limiting which apps can see everything else you have installed
You are just totally wrong, the majority did not issue a ruling on copyrightability. It just said that even if the API is copyrightable Google's actions were "fair use," which is a legal doctrine allowing some use of copyrighted works without a license.
Of course it comes up in social situations. If I'm interested in a girl and she has a ring on her left ring finger, I drop it. It's literally the first thing I check; it's basic etiquette.
> Between the ads, removal of Samsung Pay

This was so painful. Samsung Pay was genius. A perfect app at what it did.

This is the same time Google released incomplete two feature god-awful google-pay apps. Now I'm hurting to find something as good as the old Samsung pay.
What did you find interesting about the article?

I didn't get much from it, except to the extent that I could imagine the lives of actual people in extreme poverty, which is not very much.

It did get me thinking though. Not about extreme poverty, but about just getting by.

If I was working multiple minimum wage jobs to feed my family and put a roof over their head, and had to put up with appalling behaviour from my bosses, and appalling conditions that did not consider my state of being, I might not be counted as being in extreme poverty.

And if I avoided any health crises that would terminate my employment for the rest of my life, I might die without having ever been counted as being in extreme poverty.

But what would be the difference between my life and the life of people who had more control over their circumstances, and experienced more respect in their workplace from their bosses and peers?

How would I know?

How would anyone know?
I'm using SvelteJS[1] (specifically, Sapper[2]) on my product ListenAddict[3].

On other products I'm using SvelteKit[4], which is the spiritual successor to Sapper, but it's _very much_ in beta, and I wouldn't quite recommend it for production yet (even though it is being used in production for the NY Times).

I've found Svelte to be amazing to work in, especially compared to React/Vue/Angular. The compiler is great, and the final size in production is fantastic. It's also super easy to do things that I previously found annoying/hard/long-winded to do in React.

The copyrightable part of them is the creative decision making used to organize the workings of the function itself, not the formulas. Two functions could have identical algorithmic performance, but be stylistically and semantically different, have been written independently, and neither would infringe on the copyright of the other.
It seems to be in the goal to further polarize.

Comparing Australia to the US is pretty silly on its face.

Population wise, Australia wouldn't even be our largest state. Their population isnt as diverse. They dont have to throw so much of their national budget into defense etc.

In fact none of the EU or other western countries budgets arent structured the same. Heck there was just a thread yesterday about Ukraine where some were admitting France and Germany realize in the wake of Trumps administration the US may not be the defender in a time of need they expect and probably should budget for increasing their defense.

A lot of these EU social programs occur because the US carries the lions share of defense budget for them. And so when skirmishes happen near their borders, in Syria, in Libya, in the Ukraine etc they not only look to us, but push the US to lead these coalitions.

The US is a large union of somewhat individually governed states, with some larger Federal body managing some bigger common interest things like defense. Its more apt to compare a country like France to a single state. Even most our federal programs are nothing more than regulatory or budgetary incentives to gets individual states to work together (see: education, infrastructure/roads etc).

Comparing the US to a single European Union members and saying "see" the Czech Republic doesnt have this is crazy talk. I am willing to bet Iowa isnt have massive murder inceases.

Even in the US, over most counties dont even have a murder, where it would be odd to have multiples or even dozens.. But painting the entire country of 300 million people with such a broad brush and using random individual nations as a poster child is in no way honest.

> all the things that aren't capitalism absolutely scupper technological progress

This is wildly wrong. Technological progress has literally existed for thousands of years before capitalism. Even under capitalism, technological progress often happens in universities with government money, often for military or claimed military purposes. For example, everything to do with the base of computer science has been created in academia and the military sector, before it was donated by government to private corporations.
As an unmarried mid-30 male, I absolutely plan on getting myself a nice jeweled ring. I like shiny things ;). I also like weird rare metals (seems to be a common thing among the HN crowd), my current favorite is Rhenium, but I'm wary of medical considerations (the "can't get it off in an emergency" kind, not the allergy kind.)

It does seem to be a generational difference to some degree. FWIW I just don't give a f*ck anymore about conventions.

P.S.: Absolutely agree on plain diamond rings being boring & giving it a personal touch. I mean, how is a diamond ring special to our relationship?

The point of that anecdote wasn't the actual work of that programmer, but that he ranks himself much more competent than others who know his work do. That last part is the point of Dunning-Kruger.

I suppose it makes sense from the perspective of copyright law, which protects artifacts. After all, one could say the same for quoting from a famous literary work .."ha now they're valuing literature in terms of number of words of prose!"
Can you copyright generated things? You probably could copyright the way you're generating it, but I doubt you have a legal standing about the generated text or melody itself.
It’s discussed in the article, though it really should be given a different title because of that.

The fact that Asobo is the developer makes it much more impressive. A Plague Tale: Innocence is probably their most technically advanced game (and their...uh...”Rat System” that can handle thousands of rats on screen at once is technically impressive) but it’s nothing like a flight simulator. The article discusses some of the support studios they worked with to develop MFS, which again makes it even more impressive because I don’t think they had much previous experience successfully managing a bunch of support studios to produce a complicated product.

Interoperability does have legal relevance, but because of programmer skills. Part of the fair use analysis turns on the legitimate goal of allowing programmers to use their skills in Java on the new platform.

They’re doing well now, so from their point of view why take on the risk? Service disruptions caused by strikes would hurt Amazon’s product offerings. Competitors may draw away their hardest workers, leaving Amazon with an uncompetitive, unfireable labor pool.
>Hull shape, and the battery size is pretty much the only thing existing EVs differ from each other.

That seems like a strange thing to say.

We see front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive electric vehicles on the road today, driven by 1, 2 or 3 motors. We've seen designs (I don't think any of them are in production yet) with 4 motors - one for each wheel.

There's about an order of magnitude difference between the horsepower in a Renault Zoe and a top-of-the-line Tesla Model S.

Not all EVs use the same suspension either - Tesla's S and X use an air suspension, and Jaguar offers air suspension on the I-Pace as well.

I certainly agree that taking the ICE out of the vehicle takes away one of the big differentiators between car brands, but I think expecting there to be no differentiators between EVs seems pretty silly. There will always be cheaper, simpler models and more expensive, extravagant models. There will always be innovators trying new features, some of which will succeed and trickle down to other cars, and some of which will be expensive curiosities.
>sounds a lot more like a motivation problem than a competence problem.

This has been my experience for the vast majority of cases when I worked in software quality. I think the Dunning-Kruger effect may be real, but possibly a special case describing a much smaller subset.

I've worked for orgs where software was an enabling product and not the product given to their customers. The leaders took the perspective that they "do not need world-class ingredients to make a world-class product". Meaning, the software didn't have to great for them to create a great end-product. So it's little wonder why there was little motivation to improve software quality. I think if properly motivated the competence would follow.

That's a gross mischaracterization. He's an IQ and conscientiousness supremacist, which has the side effect of looking like white supremacy.

But nobody's going to edit Wikipedia to characterize him as an "East Asian/Ashkenazi Jewish/Brahmin Hindu Supremacist", which would still be wrong, but at least be far more accurate.
Yes, that is what I do (buying online but from a more local seller). If it takes 2 or 5 days to delivery doesn't makes much of a difference for me at least, I will have to wait anyway.
Yeah, Dunning-Kruger feels like a way for people to rationalize away people who they don't like that project confidence. Oh, it's just Dunning-Kruger, I saw them make a mistake once, so they're not really smart.

The Dunning-Kruger experiment really only seems to indicate that we shouldn't trust self assessments. Not that there are hoards of confident people out there who will never know how terrible they are.

If anything, Dunning-Kruger tells use that we know less about the world than certain study methodologies would suggest. However, people instead grab it and insist that it lets us know more about the world.

I don't think you're wrong, but I think there's at least some hope that differences in reliability will shrink as a result of the electrification as well.

It's a simpler power train with fewer moving parts, requiring less maintenance and replacing of parts. Recuperative breaking means less break pad wear, etc.

Of course there's other stuff emerging, like costly screen replacements and we're yet to fully appreciate how the batteries will age, and what the second-hand market will be like at scale.

There's probably first interesting data on the Tesla and other EV fleets and the maintenance averages for their customers ...

Beyond this of course you can't cheat physics. Structural engineering stays the same, material wear still happens and some car designs (or even form factors) are simply less sound than others in terms of their effects on the expected usable lifetime of a car. With EVs that matters significantly, because of the high upfront energy cost to manufacturing them - you have to drive them for a while for them to really make sense.

I guess we can conclude that automotive will probably stay as interesting as any other business. Cars are a choke-point of doing high-tech yet industrially manufacturing at scale, the baked-in conflicts make it an interesting challenge.

I found the local shop that does the work for the chains. Turns out most of the big guys outsource their work.

Maybe I’m misreading you, but it doesn’t sound to me like you have any concrete disagreement with the parent comment. It sounds like you’re saying we just shouldn’t talk about the topic of poverty reduction because it will distract attention from your concern about wealth inequality.
Based on my conversations with my wife, who is a lawyer, that plain language can be a little bit deceptive. While lawyers love their jargon and latin phrases, there's also a lot of very specific terms of art that sound like regular language. Terms like "reasonable" carry a lot of connotations and context in a legal decision that you don't get from the word alone. But yeah, I agree that these legal decisions are really easy for a layman to understand, even if I might miss some of the nuances.
That's a very good summary. This is a case where there probably is no legally "correct" decision based on the law/precedent. It comes down to fair use and to what degree you can reasonably extend it to this case. For most people reading this, the decision is the "right" one. But I'm not sure to what degree one side or the other is better supported as a matter of law/precedent.
