> I wish people could frame arguments without implied/covert vilification of the presumed opponents of your position

I agree. I wish capitalists didn't call people who make a copy of things, pirates.

Professor Rigi is pushing back against capitalist logic that tells us "You Wouldn't Steal a Car. Piracy, it's a crime" when workers make a copy of something that's an artificially scarce good (by the capitalist property system) / non-rival good.

Here's another quote you might enjoy:

“During the 1980s and 1990s I worked in many countries in eastern and southern Africa, and then for four years at the South Centre—2005–09. I can say from my experience that the industrialised countries of the North have been trying systematically to block all efforts by the countries of the South to industrialise. Their mega-corporations have tried—and, alas, succeeded—in privatising knowledge, and using it to promote corporate profits over the lives of people."

[...]

“It is the seeds and pharmaceutical companies of the West that have pirated the knowledge of seeds and medicinal products from the South. But whereas in the South this knowledge was shared as a public asset, the Western companies, having learnt from the South, proceeded to claim it as their private property. They are guilty—morally guilty—for the avoidable deaths of millions of people in the South who cannot afford their ‘patented’ medicines against, for example, AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other killer diseases. It is a sordid story. But it is not all doom and gloom. Those who control the system (the global corporations and the international organisations that the West controls) do not get their own way entirely. Wars do not always end in the victory of the militarily or ‘intellectually’ powerful.”

[...]

“The common heritage of humanity—including medical knowledge and the seeds for food—is turned into property under capitalism, to be bought and sold as ‘IP.’ [...] It has been a well-recognized fact throughout written history that knowledge shared is knowledge multiplied. A physical commodity that is consumed becomes extinct. I consume an apple and it is no more. But knowledge is metaphysical. It is enriched when it is ‘consumed’ by an ever-expanding circle of consumers. [...] The notion that without IP protection, innovation would be stifled is an ideological position created and propagated by those that benefit from the privatization of knowledge. I came to a diametrically opposite conclusion over two decades of work with farming communities in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and much of eastern and southern Africa. Ordinary peasants and workers are amazingly innovative and productive, until their resources and knowledge are appropriated and corporatized, and the people enslaved to earn profits for corporations.”

> Even assuming that you had those already available, laying them would be a very slow process, and they would be a hindrance rather than help in very narrow passages.

The point would be to use them so that there is no necessity to go through narrow passage. The diver says that when boys went in, they walked through wide openings on bottom.

But, they were probably impractical for other reasons.
Your daughter has and uses your Apple account, and you're surprised that she can reset the password? I'm really confused by this story, much less how Apple is in any way to blame or this is at all surprising.

As an aside, what you described is serviced by Family Sharing now. I have my wife and my four kids in my Family -- literally and from an Apple account perspective -- and they all have access to my purchases (and each others, unless the product specifically forbids it which is rare), my Apple One Premiere, etc. It's a wonderful system.
> I assume some equipment could help with that making the transport easier once a more comfortable path was found.

Or maybe your assumptions are wrong.
There's two ways to shut them down without killing everyone next winter, and one of them is natural gas. Batteries do not, will not, will never, cover 0.1% of European winter energy needs.

I'm pretty biased myself, but I always recommend folks publish to their own sites (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/22/why-website/)

If discoverability is lacking there's quite a few aggregate platforms that can boost readership / visibility of your site, but always publishing on your own site first!
The weather is fairly predictable these days. Nuclear is inflexible, but it's human-controlled inflexible, so you can run it at complementary times to reduce the amount of flexibility needed.
I have a bit of a stupid question related to the topic. I'm self-publishing German sci fi and fantasy novels, nothing special, just some good entertainment (if you like my writing style). Since you cannot have a readership without Amazon and do appreciate the pocket money, I sell them on Amazon. At the same time Amazon does not allow me to give them away for free.

Is there a way I can give away my novels as "pirated ebooks" to a German audience without having to seed a torrent and without making this easily traceable back to me as the author?

It would probably even boost sales and also help people with less money, I just don't know how to do it. :(

> 1. Sweets and food should not be used as reward and punishnent in the first place. So that not eating them is not emotionally punishment, but just healthy thing to do.

That’s a nice thought, but millions of years of co-evolution with plants using animals for seed dispersal trumps a few thousand years of post-agricultural revolution excesses. Maybe in another million years we’ll lose our genes favouring sweet foods, who knows, but until then candy is a safe bet.

> 2. Cue meltdown in many kids with that tactic - you bring up ecpectation and then crash it.

Unlikely given that the experimenter will be a total stranger. There will be no established incentive structure to use tantrums for psychological manipulation as with the child’s parents.

> 3. Have you people even interacted with kid? What it is with adults who seek to design punishment into situation where there is already compliance or which is about unimportant bs?

That can be said about any area of study. Even a study of a supposedly solved problem or “unimportant bs” can lead to great insight.
Spotify's innovation and differentiator is that it offers music legally for free. Yes, they have a paid plan, but it's the free plan that is the bigger competition to piracy.

Watch Live: Virgin Galactic Unity 22 Spaceflight Livestream
My mother's dad died of stomach cancer, my mothers mom had a brain tumor and died of organ failure, my mother was an alcoholic and died of liver failure, my father was an alcoholic and died from massive organ trauma (he made a series of bad decisions in rapid succession), my father's dad had multiple heart attacks and died of complications from MDS, my father's mother is still alive. There's a history of mental illness, cancer, diabetes, and overall poor health on both sides of my family....

That said, I'm taking as good care of myself as I can without going to the extreme. I don't want to deny my one short, brief life the pleasures that are here to be experienced but I also don't want to artificially shorten my (already stacked against) life.

I have decided however that I won't be dying in pain in some hospital if I can at all help it. I've watched it happen. I'll either live somewhere that assisted is allowed, or I'll FEED MYSELF TO SHARKS...something, anything, other than the slow waste of a hospital.
But that plan was rejected. It is not like they would conclude that staying there for long is good idea.

Poor examples of businesses to drive an agenda home. It’s fashionable to say email sucks and to showcase some hip solopreneurs that haven’t hit scale yet. Show me a company with 25+ employees that does not implode when internal communication is a combination of Instagram, SnapChat and Houseparty.
It’s like they didn’t even Google the name first.

To add on to this -- the about page acknowledges how "many are confused" about the name but effectively brushes it off because "kerberos is a good name", then "it's not actually kerberos, but kerberos.io", followed by "it's a mouthful so we'll just say kerberos" (and the HN submission just says kerberos)

I feel like the name really might be an impediment to the project. Not that people can't ever re-use names, but this really feels like a pointless impediment to discoverability.

This happens to me, too. At some level, I think it's a function of my mind deciding to only retain what's novel and filter out the day-to-day noise. Perhaps my dinner from two days ago was simply not remarkable enough to remember. But the 8 year old me probably found every day to be a new and wondrous experience.

Over the years, I have written in a journal from time-to-time. When I go back and read what I have written, I’m reminded of all kinds of things I had completely forgotten. It makes me wish that I had established a strong habit of writing every day or two when I was younger.

I still suck at it though. I haven’t written anything since the spring.

Reminds me of something similar. My local library loans out ebooks, which are loaned out, reserved, and returned just like physical books. An ebook someone wanted had all its "copies" checked out, and there was a long wait list. But the physical book was available, so they just went with that instead.

We have the means to sidestep these physical impediments, yet we just recreate them digitally. And in the case above, the physical actually turned out to be the solution to the digital impediment. It's just too funny. The greatest barriers in this world aren't technological - they're social, economic, and political; always have been.

Just another reminder that we're living in clown world.

Nah, it’s not because they think you’re an idiot but because this way they can keep you longer in the website.

Even so. Using the term “piracy” instead of “copyright infringement” was a pr-move designed to vilify and moralize.

No matter where you stand on wether copyright is moral or not. It should be valid to argue against the term “piracy” as such using equally moralizing and vilifying terms. If nothing else than as a form of satire.

Apple family sharing didn’t exist when I started using the ecosystem and last time I tried using family sharing exclusively it wouldn’t share the purchased music and apps from my account with the other family members.

The behavior is confusing because there are two accounts on the device - her personal iCloud account and the App Store/iTunes account. One would assume that the password reset would reset her iCloud account and not the App Store account. Or at least I would have received some sort of notification on my devices which are logged into the iCloud account that a password reset is attempted.

I’ll agree that the situation is not ideal, but Apple has made the whole experience a big mess.
Really cool idea, I was looking into this for creating a business
Ultimately I have to count myself a winner. I’m fairly young and with no family (and too nomadic to have deep friend groups in one place), I was able to move out of my house share and back to my parents to work remotely. I got a dedicated home office, free accommodation, and people who didn’t drive me insane. The upshot was a saved tonnes, so when I moved to London in January everything went smoothly.
> I think long range UHV transmission plus wind/PV Solar is the real challenge for other baseload technologies.

Yeah, would like to see more improvements there. Running up to fundamental limits with that though. Perhaps large batteries can be charged and moved elsewhere, but that seems more feasble with molten salt tanks now (but would become more feasble when 4+ hour storage for chemical batteries gets cheaper).

> Australia-SG link

Yeah, really hard to look at prospective projects in terms of lcoe (maybe we'll get more insight with any bids for providing via that link in the future) so we'll really have to see and I don't see anything about MW or MWh costs listed there (just upfront) so i'm assuming only day time baseload.

Egypt:

> Muslim rulers nominated by the Islamic Caliphate remained in control of Egypt for the next six centuries, with Cairo as the seat of the Caliphate under the Fatimids. With the end of the Kurdish Ayyubid dynasty, the Mamluks, a Turco-Circassian military caste, took control about AD 1250. By the late 13th century, Egypt linked the Red Sea, India, Malaya, and East Indies.[21] The Greek and Coptic languages and cultures went into a steep decline

> After the 15th century, the Ottoman invasion pushed the Egyptian system into decline. The defensive militarization damaged its civil society and economic institutions.[21] The weakening of the economic system combined with the effects of the plague left Egypt vulnerable to foreign invasion. Portuguese traders took over their trade.[21] Egypt suffered six famines between 1687 and 1731.[23] The 1784 famine cost it roughly one-sixth of its population.[24]

India similarly, it's full of wars and empires and atrocities and disasters. Hope this helps.

Well, shit. There's another comment to recall at random intervals for the next 10 years and blush with embarrassment even though nobody else is around.
This pattern should get more attention. To add insult to injury on the growing wealth gap, mass media has been successfully signaling the middle class to remove themselves from the gene pool.
I don't understand how you interpreted the comment you replied to as taking a stance of "they were modern functioning states". The negation of causing disarray is not causing disarray. Relax with the strawmen.
My first thought on this is...wow, $4,000? The guy obviously isn't trying to monetize this extension but if he was that's insulting..he could make more money flipping burgers..

My second thought on this is...ouch, this is the same kind of stuff I'm tasked with working on in my present job. As I've mentioned elsewhere I work for a...fairly massive...corporate entity in the United States and I deal specifically with customer and member data. The majority of that data is highly protected and regulated, but the tiny little bit that isn't...we're working (and spending a ton of money) on "enriching" it from other data sources..and I absolutely hate it. This is a new direction for the company since there was a lot of executive leadership turnover in the past two years. But it makes me feel sick every time I see a new meeting pop up that involves Experian or Neustar or some other data broker. And the work on mining customer data from one part of the business to the other, people brushing off my objections because "look we already have legal approval, you need to get on the train before it leaves the station"...I hate every second of every day of it.
