I don't know about DNA specifically, but blood that is donated to blood banks that ends up not being needed is sometimes used for research.

There's probably something about this somewhere in the fine print on something they signed without reading, but most donors aren't aware of it.

There has been some controversy over that because there have been lucrative commercial drugs derived from research using such blood, and some feel that the donors should be given a cut of the profits.

I largely agree and I have structured my career around this belief in recent years, however, I do feel the cognitive dissonance of "being a professional" despite feeling that a project is not a net benefit to society does take its toll
Nothing, the company is shut down and turned into a public benefit trust.

> that you have permission to put the code on GH

This is the complicated bit: All open-source licenses grant you permission to redistribute the code (usually with stipulations like having to include the license), so you are almost always allowed to upload the code to Github.

What it doesn't mean however is that you're the copyright holder of that code, you're merely redistributing work that somebody else has ownership of.

So who gets to decide what Github is allowed to do with it?

I expect this will end up in courts and we won't get a definite answer before that.
Trust has nothing to do with it. Based on seroprevalence studies and other factors the CDC has estimated that only about a quarter of infections were officially counted as "cases". The undercounting was even worse early in the pandemic when tests were hardly available. So your point is not valid.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burd...
Commercializing isn't really the issue, it's still copyright infringement even if you release it for free (i.e. piracy) -- it's unauthorized redistribution (i.e. copying).
Yes, but the question is: Is this because those people are buddies of politicians and so politicians reward that behaviour because those people want to own teams? It is often difficult to find out about what is the cause and what the effect.
> Juul’s dominance dissipated around the time that over a thousand people contracted a mysterious vaping-related sickness in the fall of 2019, and state and federal regulators started to investigate the company’s blatantly obvious marketing to teenagers.

Surely as hell I support investigating marketing to teenagers but in this case it would seem to me more adequate if they would rather investigate the cases of the sickness and find out what exactly was causing it. I even doubt the sick were using Juul.

Sorry, we built this tool for you that auto violates licenses. Sure, we're owned by a huge megacorp with billions of dollars, but it's your responsibility to confirm - and yes, we recognize it's impossible to confirm - that what you release using our tool isn't violating the license.

In short, github gets to make the license violator bot and push the violations off onto the small fry who actually use it? No thanks.
So I guess then, the first thing they should have done, is trained it to understand licenses, and used that as a first principle for how they built the system?
Even if we accept that (which many wouldnt as most licenses say little about research), the research would never be very useful if you can never make a comparable dataset to use in the real world.
We always used to joke that Google only kept paying firefox so they could point to someone every time 'monopoly' was brought up.

Now I see just how true it always was. Firefox android has, what, 15 addons now? Absolutely ridiculous. It hangs constantly, they used the dark pattern of exporting bookmarks and whatnot. Just gross now watching it fall so damn far.
More control for whom? A content creator’s struggles with YouTube are only relevant to me to the extent that I am able to watch their videos. The monetization, rights, etc are between them. Not my monkeys, not my circus.
I agree; my blog post says so.

What my licenses are supposed to do is sow even more doubt in companies' minds about models trained on my code.
the main holdup i think is truly effortless and secure, private, and widely accepted micropayments.

there's plenty of stuff i'd be willing to pay for if it didn't involve creating yet another account and giving them my credit card info.
Any hypothetical standards-conformant Rust implementation would have to be as or more restrictive than rustc, not less. Something like mrustc, which performs no borrow checking, would not be allowed to call itself a conformant Rust implementation.

(I say hypothetical because until there's a spec, it's simply not feasible to build a conformant alternative implementation, as you'd need to be bug-for-bug compatible with rustc.)
Then if you were discovered using it in a commercial project you can fairly be sued for it. Unless you're trying to argue that you should for some reason get an exemption?
This resonates with me a lot. The projects that I found were burning me out the most were ones when I felt my work is meaningless because the projects weren't accomplishing anything and I didn't really believe my work alone could change that.

As soon as I started working at something more meaningful, the feeling of burnout was orders of magnitude lighter, if not gone at all...

Do the GitHub Terms of Service give them the necessary permissions for Copilot, independently of the license? (I honestly don't know the answer; this is a straight question.)

Certainly not the most weird thing ever done ('weird' was my normal during my early mil years), but about the best experience had as a young person.

Flew a Piper Colt (PA22-108) from New River MCAS, NC to Meadowlark airport in Huntington Beach, Ca. Took 12 days because I was flying by dead reckoning and was taking zig-zag paths around weather systems and had to land in a field at a ranch outside of Lubbock, Tx to fix an oil leak.
Is that why a while back HN is full of articles supposedly extolling benefits of nicotine?
Yes, that's related to what I call the religion of paper.

Here is its credo:

Paper is official.

Paper is non-falsifiable, especially if you stamp it.

Paper can't lie.

Paper comes with a date that is trustworthy.

Paper can be sent through mail of fax.

Paper can't be sent by email. Computers are where fakes are made, don't trust computers.
Can you provide some reading for me that argues that the United States has jailed or killed political dissidents on anything approaching the same scale as the Chinese Communist "Tiananmen" Party?
I'd like to see evidence supporting that.

The reason _I_ buy apple products is because they actually fix my machine when I bring it in for repair and don't do what HP, Dell and ASUS used to do which is hide behind: "please resend", "works for us", "we've had it for 18 weeks and now the warranty period is over" stuff.
Wow. It's interesting that Robinhood brazenly lets unsophisticated investors trade options, solely because they will take a beating on revenues if their options trading volume is harmed. I'm curious as to whether Robinhood has been barred from this practice after the settlement.

Ordered dithering may match what Windows does in 16 bit mode, to recreate that look, but you can't call it "period appropriate", given that Floyd-Steinberg was published in 1976, well before the first line of Windows was written (and just three years after Bayer).
I hope you didn't fall asleep before reading the next two sentences:

"But even if owners ultimately repay the taxes they skipped, deferring payment of those taxes for years, sometimes decades, essentially amounts to an interest-free loan from taxpayers. An owner could reap huge gains by investing that money."

"If owners die while holding their stake, as many do, the tax savings may never be repaid. And their heirs can generally restart the amortization cycle anew."

These are each clear loopholes. The first sentence is about how time value of money matters when talking about billions of dollars. The second sentence gives you an idea of why it was so "important" to weaken the Estate Tax in 2017.
That sounds like a browser bug - if its rendering the icon in the browser chrome it should also use the color scheme setting matching the chrome.
Probably approaching zero. But how are people going to find you. That's the problem YouTube solves.
The article also goes on to state that the depreciation has a finite time limit.

The actual headline:
"Government providing depreciation that amounts to an interest free loan to billionaires in exchange for investing in capital assets" doesn't fit with the sensationalist nature of the piece
Copyright law "prevents" you from doing that. To be more specific copyright law specifies that you must comply with the license of the copyright holder in cases such as the one you have described.

> How much of licensed code is scattered across private projects?

Whether or not copyright violations regularly occur is not (directly) relevant to whether or not it is illegal. People download copyrighted movies without licenses all the time and it still isn't legal.
nobody called anyone a villain. he simply didn’t like the change and moved to a new service. basic free market forces working well and we can all be happy about it
There's 34 million more men than women in China.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/world/too-many-...

Seems totally reasonable to think that not have the potential to be a husband/father would affect how men view the payoff of gaining higher social status. You can't write that off as "Der der redpill!"
Movies are “public” too. That does not mean you are allowed to use them for any purpose. The term “Public” does not have specific legal consequences in copyright law outside of something being “public domain” as you say.
The notion that the US is free from corruption and severe abuse of power is laughable.

The notion that it’s no different from China is absurdist propaganda. In China there is no such thing as abuse of power if it is sanctioned by the party.

I get that the problem is commercializing, but the theories around copyright that are being deployed here would prevent even free, open-source NLP research from becoming a reality.
I agree - practical financial education is a huge, glaring omission from most curriculums. However, even if it wasn't, universal availability isn't a good argument for the societal benefit, morality, or legality of these practices, since to say they would still disproportionately benefit the wealthy would be an understatement.
Probably never. I'd venture that the overwhelming majority of users on the internet do not even understand the concept of the ad model, much less the downsides.

To them the internet and everything on it is free (and what isn't free is just greed by the owner) and ads are these annoying thing that crop up everywhere.
If you'll entertain me on a hypothetical for a moment. Suppose then the copious amount of intelligent folks over at GH know this will eventually end up in the courts, and expected that from the start. Would you suggest they messaged/rolled it out any differently? Did they do exactly what they needed to do so that it did end up in the courts? Should they have done anything differently to not piss folks off so much? Sorry for the million questions, you seem to know/have thought a bit about this. Thanks! :)
It's going to totally depend on how popular you are. For videos with a relative handful of viewers, host it wherever. If you're a popular site, costs could be hundreds, maybe thousands per month. But you'd have to make some assumptions and do the math.

And, as peer says, discoverability unless you already have an audience.
> There's no user friendly way to set firefox's prefer-color-scheme: dark if the OS does not have the capabilities to do that.

And even if the OS does have that capability, Firefox will ignore it for prefers-color-scheme if you have enabled enhanced tracking protection. Instead, Firefox will always claim prefers-color-scheme: light - the least they could have done is indicate no preference.

The paris agreement isn't really binding. There are no mechanism to punish non-compliance and the aims and means of limiting global warming are poorly defined in any case. The only real consequence of failing paris is looking bad. Boohoo. The WTO treaty however does have concrete punishments if one country disobeys, e.g. import duties may be imposed. Air traffic agreements are based on mutuality, so if you tax jet fuel, the other side will as well, at best. At worst, the other side will abandon the agreement and you cannot fly anywhere anymore, except within your own borders and international waters. So you can guess which one takes precedence if push comes to shove.

Also, the paris agreement doesn't really limit emissions beyond the industrialized countries. Most of the world isn't limited at all, or just very very generously.

And yes, the US is an obstacle. But that doesn't mean that the rest of the world will feel obliged to fulfil the paris agreement, prior agreements on this topic have never really been obeyed. I guess the US just has a culture of not entering agreements they don't intend to obey, whereas others sign and then wait&see.

And about the false dichotomy: yes, maybe. But since climate change advocacy is getting increasingly shrill (justifiably or not), e.g. by changing global warming to global heating, climate change to climate catastrophe, declaring it a danger to human survival, either the problem is overstated or a really big one. Leading to the aforementioned dichotomy.

On the other hand, I guess we would all be well-served by more objectivity and less hype.
The 14 year claim is from gestation to adolescence.

If a certain state of affairs ("crony capitalism" or "socialistic handing out wealth") is a natural consequence of capitalism, as the other commenters are arguing, then does it matter what you call it? If your position is that the current state of affairs (the co-opting of the government by the ultra-wealthy class) is not the natural consequence of capitalism then you should argue that rather than no-true-scotsman-ing whether or not it is truly capitalism.
Those are the ones I'm using. Bought a pair about 2 years ago and have worn them nearly all day, every day since (I put them on and take them off with my glasses).

The fact they can be worn all day without them getting in the way is amazing. I particularly like the fact I can put a pair of over-the-ear headphones on top of them or even a pair of ear defenders if I'm doing DIY.

Schemes that get more widely used are removed from the tax code and something else is put in their place. The fact their only used by a small percentage of the population is a feature not a bug. Governments spend mind boggling amounts of money, most people need to hand over a large fraction of their earnings or the system fails.

Huh?

The depreciation of assets is a rich-unfriendly feature of the tax code. It explicitly prevents the rich (those buying big assets) from writing of the expense in a single tax year and therefore reducing their profit and so their tax.

Unlike, say salary expenses, it forces them to defer most of the expense to future years, earning the tax collector more money earlier.

So if you don't depreciation, are you arguing for no expensing of capital assets, ever? (Which makes no sense).

Perhaps could you be precise how some mythical non-elite person would write this aspect of the tax code?
Thats a good point. Hosting isn't free, so someone is going to have to pay some cost. Even if the original goal was just to share information and not profit, there are some costs associated with running a site.

One wonders if youtube had an option for you to pay them to host videos for you without ads, if that would be popular. Of course then someone with a 1 million+ view video and a large bill would then start complaining..

You can always host yourself but you loose the audience youtube brings.
Is it a derivative work of GPL licensed work if it is trained on the license? Is the GPL license text under GPL?
Well, a state is the entity that has sovereignty in a given country. So in principle, it always has access to all of the resources of that country, even though in practice it's bound by all sorts of laws and customs. Also in practice, these laws and customs tend to have exceptions in exigent circumstances.

Personally, I think dividing between the state and business is simplistic. Most businesses and most states have a symbiotic and codependent relationship, that is more or less explicit depending on the country you're talking about, but that's by the by. In practice, states generally have access to collected data through subpeonas.

Have you already raised funds, as he had? Are you aware of major additional investments pending, as he was? Do you have business deals in progress, as they did? There’s a reason why their own SEC filings described those shares as being issued below fair value.

A simple fix for this would be to prevent private holdings from being placed into a Roth since independent valuations are hard to establish without market data but it’d be even better to simply cap the tax-free gains as suggested - if you accumulate millions in returns, paying taxes on the portion over n million is fine because you’ve still been phenomenally lucky and will retire wealthy.
On an extremely tangential note: I wish we would stop using the term, "Sub-Saharan." The semantic quandaries should be obvious, but it also subscribes to a curious linguistic glitch of putting the North and South into a hierarchy that only exists if you are rather incurious about the ambiguity of geographic perspective (see: the infamous "upside down" Gall-Peters projection for some mind-blowey fun). I would personally prefer something like "SOS (South-of-Sahara) Africa," or perhaps even something as provocative as "Africa Major" (riffing on Asia Minor and referring to the fact that that part of the continent is, in fact, a majority of its landmass).
