It occurs to me that the libertarian dilemma you mention, that the unregulated market rewards businesses that restrict liberty in practice, is fairly similar to the dilemma Peter Thiel mentions in https://www.cato-unbound.org/2009/04/13/peter-thiel/educatio... , that expanding the franchise brought in voters who do not vote for libertarian ideals. He calls "capitalist democracy" is an oxymoron, and implies that the libertarian must choose one or the other.

In that essay Thiel advocates for capitalism over democracy, and suggests literally escaping to the internet, outer space, or the seas to be free from democracy and find a refuge for capitalism. But I think the better argument for the liberty-minded is to remain within our jurisdictions and choose democracy over capitalism. The rights to vote as you will, and to speak as you will without censorship, and to assemble as you will without restriction, are protected in our Constitution and moreover are widely seen as civic virtues too. The right to run a business as large as you will and acquire whichever other market participants you will is not protected, and we should stop seeing it as a virtue. Who can say, honestly, that the existence of Facebook as it is today is a victory for liberty?

True, but there is no excuse for that anymore. Very little software is really new anymore, so we should have a good handle on requirements by now. (I don't either )

Does that mean general copyright does not apply to unlicensed open source software? Do any legal precedents exist related to this?

I'm honestly curious now.
I don’t lose 6 hours on a typical airline trip. Domestic, I tend to arrive around an hour before gate close time. International from the US, about 90 minutes. For a train, I’d still plan on a 30 minute safety buffer (to protect against en route delays to the station). Add another 30 minutes over the train for boarding, push, and taxi. So, I’m probably giving up an hour plus/minus however closer the train station is vs the airport.

Arriving, baggage claim rarely takes more than 30 minutes. (Delta “guarantees” 20 minutes on domestic flights.) With no checked bags, it’s the 10 minute walk through the airport and then plus/minus ground transport differences vs the train.

I can’t imagine that most people are spotting the train a 6 hour head-start, unless the live upstairs from the train station and are extremely nervous about missing their flight.
You can show the full changes by one of these:

> git show --first-parent COMMIT # perspective of target branch = branch you were on when merging

> git show -m COMMIT # perspective of both branches

Lengthy explanation and more ways to do it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40986518/git-show-of-a-m...

Also the following works in my experience and is more easy to memorize because the command literally says what you want to know:

> git diff COMMIT_BEFORE_MERGE..MERGE_COMMIT
This tool gives you a way to easily set up a process to automatically roll back your PF changes, in case you mess something up and can’t get back in to fix them yourself.

> It certainly isn’t part of the executable code base, even in binary form, which is what the GPL was targeting.

The GPL also targets source forms, such as what is being produced verbatim. (See Clause 1 of the GPL.)

> Again that doesn’t matter, because the code isn’t actually being executed.

That's not a requirement of the GPL or AGPL. It's irrelevant.

> So is it “distributing” the code? Sure, but that’s not a violation.

It is, without the license.

> Anyway, just having a piece of GPL source code in a database isn’t a violation, and never has been. You might as well bring saying that because Google’s search index can return entries of the Linux kernel, all of Google is in violation of the GPL. Not even RMS would take that extreme view.

Storage mechanisms are not the problem here. The GPL source code is not in some database, in this case. A search index is irrelevant, because that is just a storage mechanism.

However, Copilot generates verbatim code, and it generates novel code. That is, it both contains the plain text of the original (recitation and redistribution), generates derived code (transformation).

In both these cases it doesn't attribute, so you can say with certainty that the Copilot software contains the source code, and may create derivative works, all without attributing the license.

It is the fact it contains the source code, reciting it verbatim, that makes Copilot probably need to be GPL-licensed itself. As it is not a storage mechanism.

It is that it distributes derived works without attribution that puts the end-user's codebase at risk of violating the GPL.
Why wouldn't size correlate with magnitude? A whip crack breaks the sound barrier, it doesn't shatter windows. Same with a bullet, which goes even faster.

You need both pressure level (voltage) and momentum (current) in order to stay strong over distances (shock waves diffuse over time) to break windows. Small, super fast things create large pressure differentials, big jets create more momentum.

This is interesting given the protests. As I understand it, San Francisco is generally considered to be a very liberal and progressive city. The politicians are generally considered to be very liberal and progressive. These are the same groups, however, that want to defund the police. I don’t get it. You can want both police reform, and policing, but without the police there’s not really anyone capable, trained, or just available to confront dangerous criminals and individuals. It’s almost like a very radical group pushed for something and they went way too far, so now the more rational side is like whoa wait a second

You would be surprised what a judge can do in countries with rule of law.
Sound is one thing, but there are other more significant obstacles.

The benefits of faster travel really show on longer distances (London to Sydney for example). But over land, there just aren’t many common routes where the several hour savings would be worth it.

The big challenges relate to risk. What happens to the vehicle when a major failure happens at high speed? What about sudden pressure loss at high altitude? Or mechanical failure or weather which causes a diversion (how much ground do you cover just turning around?).

I find it hard to see legitimate overall benefits.

Frankly, I think we could make greater overall time benefits by optimizing airport and boarding improvements.
Can anyone with a better understanding of the chemistry help me understand the level of plastic “degradation” this represents? My (low) understanding is that we know of several processes that partially break plastic down, but nothing that actually metabolizes it or turns it into useful / non-toxic material.

Well, a quick Google search brings this up from Wikipedia:

Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media is a 1988 book by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky. It argues that the mass communication media of the U.S. "are effective and powerful ideological institutions that carry out a system-supportive propaganda function, by reliance on market forces, internalized assumptions, and self-censorship, and without overt coercion", by means of the propaganda model of communication.

There might be a slippery slope here: suppose there's a GPL version of product X in the training set. I'm building a proprietary competitor. Then let's say copilot makes it a little bit easier and cheaper for me to build my product.

Now suppose it's 10 years from now and it's trivial to build a proprietary competitor.
You're mixing issues.

The homelessness problem has been growing for the last 15 years (I mean, before that too, but I remember never being shocked in the early 2000s like I always am today), whereas the "Defund" thing is only in the last year.

The homelessness crisis is not caused by a lack of police enforcement.
> Most humans not practicing slavery for example, is that also being religious?

Yes actually; it was a specifically Christian endeavor to globally eliminate slavery. Modern political Veganism is also Christian in origin, although it's been adopted as a religious crusade by Western State Secularists as well (which I suspect you are from what you've said so far).

> Can you provide your sources

I just think about it for 5 minutes; most of those UN reports are manifest nonsense. E.g. the feat mongering about cow farts. Here are two key terms for why I don't care about cow farts: bison, and fungal decomposition.

> Have you actually watched the documentary?

Why would I bother watching that piece of garbage? I've read the synopsis, and I see why it's total bullshit. https://www.biolayne.com/articles/research/the-game-changers...

> the creator of the documentary, ex MMA fighter, actually said his performance went up

Wow! They found a who guy claims his performance went up! Amazing!

For every person who claims they're doing better on veganism (questionably, in most cases) there are dozens who match the stereotype.

> We are not carnivores.

I don't know about you, but my evolutionary ancestors (early Northern Europeans) were carnivores for at least 30-40% of the year. This is obvious if you think about it for 5 minutes. They almost certainly were still heavily meat-oriented most of the rest of the year.

> then at least hunt or raise and kill your own

I have done this in the past, and would recommend it, but as you say it's not scalable. That said, I think it's possible to meet net meat demand using acceptable (to me) farming practices.

> You can be healthy on a plant-based diet. Check this resource by medical experts:

There is almost no group of people in the world I trust lest than dietary "medical experts", and quite frankly people who take them seriously are gullible.

In order for me to seriously consider the idea that veganism might be healthy, you need to explain something to me: why do 90+% of vegans look like crap? I'm not trying to be mean here; I am just completely unwilling to adopt a diet which will make me weak, androgen deficient, and emaciated, which seems to describe almost every vegan I know.
> Yes, as it should be. This is why official translations suck and fansubs are superior works.

It would really surprise me if it were the case. Being a good translator requires years of studying and it’s not just a matter of knowing a foreign language. An anime nerd may occasionally find a slightly better way of translating a Japanese word into English (and quite often it would be better only for other anime nerds and not for the general public), but it be would really surprising if randos were better translators than real translators.

There's not much generic into about it because every rail route proposal is different, even between the same destinations. Depends a lot on geography and what's already there.

You basically need to do a full Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for each route.

Sometimes they're included in the EIS for a proposed project. That's prob the best place to start.

But there's a reason most of the rail routes that keep getting proposed in the US are regional. Track and right-of-way is expensive, in both dollars and energy. Even moreso with high speed, where you need grade-seperated crossings and long, wide turns.

Most people think track is shareable or reusable, but the real world limits to track capacity (trains per day) makes economies of scale difficult to implement.

I posted it elsewhere, but the practical limit for non-high-speed rail is 300-400 miles, before airplanes start to make more sense.

High speed is difficult to even estimate, since we don't have much here to base it on.
The problem is that taxes are already fairly high. Throwing more money at the problem is not going to fix these issues. Bad administration is bad administration no matter how much money you burn.

> Automated scraping of copyrighted material for (arguably) transformative applications like Copilot is generally allowed under fair use,

Ok great. So then new tools like this are good, even though they weaken copyright, and the concerns that people have about it (that it allows easier copying of code), are actually a benefit.

And the fact that it might hurt people's ability to profit from their code, is overruled by the benefit that this stuff provides.

> doesn't follow directly from the discussion above it.

You suggested protecting profits as if it is the only or best way of promoting progress.

When, in reality, stuff like these tools are actually a much better way of doing so. And it does so in a way that undermines copyright law, in a beneficial way.
Petty and non-violent crime is only petty and non-violent because the victims don't fight back.

Thunder is a sonic boom. It’s like saying thunder killed a cow.
The new differences are:

1) Scale of the attacks. Taking large portions of a country's petro-chemical/energy pipeline is far above the threat level presented by most prior hacks. The same goes for shutting down ~20% of the nation's pork & beef food supply. And now hundreds of companies impacted as a result of a single breach. Ransomware isn't new, but it is in hockey-stick growth mode.

2) Increased market for crypto currencies. Criminal activity may not, by far, be the dominant activity, but the more legitimate transactions there are, the easier it is to hide criminal transaction.

3) Bootstrapping this type of thing takes time because it's not just about capital in this case. It's also about accumulating vulnerabilities and compromising systems long enough that backups-- for example a week or month old-- are still useless (also encrypted). And going back to earlier backups will lose the company too much essential data.

4) And as you said, avoiding media coverage that will bring too much attention, and with it the potential for a crackdown. The slow burn on increasing ransomware over the years has acclimate people to it in a way that makes even the most recent massive attacks a little more normalized, especially when they pay the ransom & get back up & running in a few days. That limits the amount of public pressure to fight this head on with mandated increased security and massive resources thrown at pro-actively going after these hackers.

5) In 2016 ransomware wasn't quite as mature. 2020 is different, and the political landscape is different: I'm not making a partisan comment here. I'm not saying the previous US administration prevented these things better or the current administration dropped the ball. What I'm saying is that when there's any new administration, there are threat actors that will test the waters, see how far they can go. I definitely thing that's a factor here, especially so close after the Biden administration delivered its list of 16 untouchable sectors to Russia & Putin. There's going to be a lot of adversarial interest in just how firm those limits are, and what the response will be.

Otherwise, from a national awareness standpoint, you do approach an important point: It may not be a new phenomena, but for the vast majority of Americans that don't follow tech news, this is new and, given the scale of recent attacks, somewhat scary.
