You'll notice though, that the term 'intellectual property' wasn't invented until the (roughly) mid 20th century. After which time, copyright and patent law were affixed to this construction. There was no intellectual property, prior. I would politely suggest that this piece is a post-hoc justification, based on the ignorance of this arrangement. (Because the author, like all humans, is morally ambiguous. Intellectual property was an assumption going into this piece)

Copy rights, are not property. Patents are monopoly licenses.
Alfred Chandler Jr described this as 'hidden unemployment'. The true social cost to society is high prices to support mostly inefficient jobs, this keeps people employed.

Surely information takes up space too, albeit virtually and as bits?

You're incorrect in your use of postmodern in this and the above statement.
One of Hollywood’s most audacious Ponzi schemes
I found the Ahmad-Cohen scheme [0, PDF] (through [1]), which seems related to what you describe:

> Our scheme takes advantage of this fact by dividing the force on a particle into two parts: a slowly varying part which is due to the "distant" starts, the regular force, and another component, the irregular force, due to the stars in the immediate neighborhood of the star in question.

[2] has a bit more performance info:

> The gain by using by using the Ahmad-Cohen scheme is expressed as (N/3.8)^(1/4) for both the fourth-order standard and Hermite schemes, but would be significantly smaller on vector or parallel machines.

I think Principia currently has info for 34 bodies, so I think the improvement would be on the order of 1.73x according to that equation if the Ahmad-Cohen scheme is implemented (and is applicable).

That being said, I believe it still involves integration, as opposed to the hypothetical closed-form solution in your scheme. If no useful closed-form solution exists for the scheme you describe, then the Ahmad-Cohen scheme might be a closer match.

I admit my initial skepticism was at least partially incorrect. You were right that approximating less substantial influences by increasing the timestep could be useful for performance. The sole remaining question is whether you still need to stick with an integration scheme or whether a closed-form approximation exists.

Also, Torvalds didn't want to call Linux Linux initially (but didn't really complain when the name was pushed on him).
Using that argument, newspapers shouldn't have to pay taxes either. If a newspaper doesn't pay its taxes, it will be closed, which (according to this argument) would be a violation of the freedom of the press clause.

Yea I think that's the primary issue to me. The Acros one is pretty good but the others leave a lot to be desired. The Velvia simulation is basically just a high saturation mode without the magic of Velvia. Classic Chrome doesn't look like any film stock I'm familiar with.

Compare this to RNI film's preset pack for Lightroom which I find are much more interesting.

I think a big reason they won't ever come close to true film is that proper film simulation is likely lossy (grain/etc) which no digital film simulation in a camera is going to risk.
Lawyer obviously is the best practice.
> I don't really understand the love for Android (and sometimes Google) and hate for Apple

The reasons are all over this discussion, just spend some time reading it. My takeaway might be that some people value autonomy and ownership, and feel like Android gives them more of that.
I’ve set a reminder to do so :)
After watching the first illustration went up and confirmed that was Randall Munroe the one that wrote it. I've been missing for too long his what-if posts.

Still, would be nice to have his typical mouseover messages.
This is basically part of the thesis that Alon Levy is presenting here. Essentially, the reason for the high costs is that the government lacks the management ability to recognize that the bids coming in are unreasonably low-balled, combined with subsequent difficulties actually overseeing the construction process.
I'm half-way through reading this at the moment and I cannot recommend it highly enough. In the prologue he talks of being able to turn to any page and find something interesting to read. He's not wrong.
> neither observers reference frame is more privileged than the other.

I am not talking about any particular observers. I am talking about invariant properties of the spacetime geometry and invariant curves within that geometry. Nothing I have said depends on any particular choice of observers. I only phrased it in terms of what a particular observer sees because the post I was responding to was asking about what can be seen from outside the horizon. I could just as easily have phrased it in terms of what null curves intersect with a particular timelike curve; the underlying geometric facts, and the fact that they are invariant, are the same either way.

> There is no global reference frame that allows you to say that the objects actually fell in and hit the singularity inside the hole long before you see the final image

Yes, there is. There are a number of frames that cover both the exterior and interior regions; for example, Painleve coordinates, Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates, and Kruskal coordinates.
What are the financials behind this? I only ask because it’s pretty damned expensive to build a network and then do the O&M. $68/mo sounds like very old broadband prices that were subsidized by revenue from other channels (bundling). Does $68 get the city to a break even or is this running at a loss? Not criticizing, just curious how that pencils out - what true cost is.
Government intervention is what gave providers local monopolies in the first place.

More legislation from the federal and state level is not needed, unless it's literally "All local agreements are now null and void" which isn't even legal.
Absolutely. I think that's how we got here. But, the thought regulation regime is pretty new historically. I don't know why we accept it, on the basis.... That thoughts ... Take up space?
Yea, I cautiously share this viewpoint. I don’t want a cyber "Remember the Maine! To hell with Spain!" event.

Sort of... there's been push back in the post spectre days of expanding non root usage of BPF. Right now, a subset of trace programs and seccomp are allowed for non-root, but that hasn't expanded since 2016. Everything else requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

They would probably remove those too if the balance of Linux didn't put "don't break user space" higher than "defense in depth security".
Google already has shown bad faith in opt-out headers like this when they immediately started ignoring Do-Not-Track as soon as non-Chrome browsers made it a default. The fact that the spec for this awful project uses an opt-out instead of an opt-in header seems a pretty clear signal to me that Google may not have any intention of following it in the long run.

Basically, in order for a wallet to be "green" it needs to be associated with a real world identity and, if it serves as an exchange, it also needs to follow the policy not to exchange anonymous into pseudonymous. Any wallet that doesn't follow this policy is tainted. At fiat offramps, seize monies sourced from tainted wallets as it's presumptively illegal.
It's misleading that the docs cite 1991 but Mac OS 8.0 actually came out in 1997. I suppose they are talking about the manufacture date of the emulated hardware, not the OS.
I don't think anyone disagrees but lately the society has been talking about something called consent. That matters with software as well.
There isn't a good way to not play though. Even if you don't have a Twitter account, something you do can still be posted on Twitter and then the outrage machine can latch onto it.
For anyone interested in the story of the astronauts who went to the moon, Moondust is a great read. In the early 2000s (if I remember right), the author traveled around the world to visit each of the living men who had set foot on the moon. He asks them about their experiences, both on the moon and in the time since the moon missions ended. Some of them treat him like any interviewer, but toward the end as they realize he has actually connected all of their stories once again, they share a bit more than what comes out in typical interviews.

It's a wonderful blending of life in the world at that time, the story of our collective quest to reach the moon, and the individual stories of humans who actually went there.

Yeah, which is why I suggest faking metadata than simply stripping it. There are anti-forensic tools for doing that.
Oh man, I'm happy to see this here — I've been slowly working my way through various science and engineering done in the Soviet Union since there was some incredible work done that's very poorly known in the West.

Vavilov is definitely a first-class scientist who seemed to have an incredible personality. In some alternative better timeline, Vavilov would probably be as well-known and had inspired as many people as, say, Feynman. Alas.

Anyway, while we're on the topic of Soviet scientists, the whole silver fox domestication research program is infinitely fascinating —

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox

Highly highly recommended.

Edit: Soviet pharmacology also very interesting — and even more surprising it hasn't been studied and imported since, like, humans are humans and it works. Probably an unfortunate secondary effect of how trials/licensing/patenting work. Not a bad starting point: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/08/16/an-iron-curtain-has-de...
I spent a few minutes on the site trying to see what was supported and saw nothing. I have a passing awareness of KDE so I could assume that the desktop platform was Linux, but the mobile platform was not specified anywhere in my initial searching. I have to admit I didn't dedicate a lot of time to that though, since I have no interest in running desktop Linux.

Line profiling like this is a lot easier for me to interpret than flame graphs, and the decorator seems convenient enough to just stick on any function. How does it work if you want to profile multiple functions within a stack?
Well that strategy works, till it doesn't. There is a difference between being rich and being wealthy, and that is sustainability of wealth. You can live your life and still contribute to long term wealth growth. What if you need to pay for some big unexpected expense, like your pet getting sick or you getting in an accident? Without proper financial backbone, even one of those type of incidents can throw you off and take you down the rabbit hole of catching up with debt.

I just played around with a little and I really like it! The onboarding flow and entire look and feel of the app is really smooth and modern, while also remaining simple. It makes me want to use it more! I recently signed up for a free trial of a similar online financial planning service at Charles Schwab and it was awful and clunky. Maybe you can sell this to them? ;-) I will keep using. I'm not as concerned about handing over my data since it's not linked anywhere so even if breached or sold, no one would really know that it's accurate. I guess the worst that can happen is that I will get slightly more targeted financial deals.
In 1970 (shortly after my birth), my grandmother bought me my first Christmas ornament for the tree. It was a glass Michael Collins astronaut figure. Over the years, it has taken a couple tumbles, lost a leg and most of the helmet, but every year it goes up to the top of the tree in a prominent place. I was struck with a profound sense of sadness today when I heard of his passing mostly due to my connection to him via this simple ornament. He will continue on in that place of prominence and I hope to pass this on to my children and their children at some point.

Ken Thompson and the estate of Dennis Ritchie's copyright claim for the C programming language syntax goes through. It is sold to a copyright troll company that starts demanding licenses from all users.

On a more serious note, a new programming language would really be the next step. If tradition holds, it might turn out to be really hard to use though.
There are lots of ways to live your live, and achieve some happiness, either now, ongoing, or merely in the future.

It sounds like you found one method that creates some measure of happiness for you, right now. Will anything in your future change the variables so that you have to adapt? What will your options be then?

Now, your premise here is "so much focused" or to reword, "intently focused" on growing wealth for the purposes of financial independence. If you start with that premise, there might a a corresponding decrease or minimization of competing focuses, including "what makes you happy in the present."

If you shift the premise a bit to more of a Pareto Principle approach of "do at least the 20% you need to plan for your future, and get 80% of the benefit", you might see things a little differently. Extremes don't make for good arguments, but they can be illustrative. If you feel like you have to spend "everything" you have, and invest "nothing" then any break in your income stream will instantly crush everything that you currently use to make you happy. If, on the other hand, you find that you can be really quite happy while spending 75% and investing the other 25%, you might find that over time, you've been happy all along, and you've gained a resilience to changing life circumstances as well, and increased your options for what you are required to do, and what you can choose to do.

As for just "investing" or "not investing", the common wisdom is that simple savings will tend to lose value when adjusted for inflation. You do not need to become "busy with cryptos" to invest, though. You can simply think long-term, buy broad total market index funds, and stop thinking about those investments almost instantly. It does not take focus. You don't have to go all the way down the rabbit hole to intently focus on what you might consider absolutely optimizing your investments. It's quite unlikely to pay off, so take a simpler path.

It's not enough to produce something objectively good? If Linux was pay-for-source or non-GPL, it would be just another crappy UNIX clone with no outstanding features. It never would have been picked up by tinkerers and academia, let alone corporations.
The thing that interested me most about the video was how similar the interface is to a "touch" interface you might find on a tablet.

While Xerox and Mac helped shape the current "desktop metaphor" GUI it was still an open question how to migrate those used to DOS-style command line tooling to a GUI, and it wasn't really "solved" until Windows 95 (where the Start Menu became "Bob" in a way).
Please do. I hate getting transactional email intended for someone else because the devs don't verify email addresses. It doesn't even mean you have to do verification early in the onboarding process, but definitely before you start sending any email.

They would, but so would their competitors. Comcast and Spectrum have currently a great position, because cost to enter the market for anyone else is so high. Not even Google with their "unlimited" amount of money was able to get through it. It's crazy that currently the only way to enter the market is to deploy thousands of satellites (like Starlink) and once Starlink becomes a competitor to current ISPs other competitors won't be able to follow them.

This situation can't be solved without changing laws and local governments.
I'm afraid I'm a little confused about what your question is. I don't think the notion that thoughts take up space has anything to do with why TOUs are enforceable in the US. It's more because the relevant stakeholders are either largely not very interested in or impacted by TOUs (the public at large) or are interested in and positively impacted by TOUs (the services offered with TOUs).

Fair. I once was told by a senior NREL engineer that industrialization of a different concept than HAWTs would take over $1B in investment. Which is a lot in a low-margin, capital -intensive business like wind energy. And that number is probably on the low end.

Kites have the potential of much lower material costs to produce energy. If you have a pumping cycle kite, the "support structure" is the tether, compared to the tower and foundation required for a HAWT. The problems are indeed well known: 1. Tether material difficulties. 2. Need for self-launching 3. Airspace sharing problems at heights of kites 4. Controller design. This last one is what intrigues me personally.

The paper looks at vertical turbine arrangements, but the linked article about the paper starts with "The research suggests that the now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines may be eventually replaced by the sight of wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines." I had to respond to this rather wishful statement.

I guess the question here is what you mean by "privacy." It seems to me that privacy goes beyond merely avoiding the risk of fingerprinting, or individualized identification. Collective identification is also a privacy problem: if I get advertisements targeted at people with similar political beliefs to mine because I've labelled as a member of a cohort that has visited a cluster of X-leaning news sites, that seems objectionable independent of whether the owner of some website can also distinguish me as an individual from every other member of the cohort.

Why would we expect municipal broadband to be any different? Network tech jumps up speed every ~5yrs, unlike most other infrastructure that hasn't changed in decades.

The current government sanctioned monopolies need to stop but I'm pretty confident that municipal broadband will being net negative in a few years as it kills commercial investment therefore leaving places that have it struggling to keep up with those that don't. See Korea, Japan, Singapore, etc... All have market based solutions. I expect in 5-10 yrs they'll be running terabit connections for VR or AR 3D video/telepresence and municipal broadband will be stuck only able to stream Netflix and take years to get the government to approve for upgrades.
