Gabe correctly identified piracy as a service problem a decade ago. People pirate for two reasons: they can't otherwise buy legitimately at a reasonable[0] price, or the legitimate version is less convenient to obtain or use. It used to be people used no-CD cracks because of the inconvenience of inserting a CD even if they legitimately purchased the game. More draconian DRM consistently leads people to use cracks on legitimate game purchases. Hell, I recall at least one developer practically begging their community to crack their game because their publisher forced them to include Denuvo, but they could remove it as soon as a pirated version appeared.

DRM punishes your customer. Unfortunately modern technology companies have all but trained users to accept being punished for using their product so this behavior hasn't stopped.

[0] reasonable is, of course, subjective. Thus, some will pirate because even $10 is more than they are willing to pay, but you're unlikely to ever get sales out of these people anyway.

Science is the only field where ML would truly shine and be really useful.

There are tons of science problems where there are just not enough gray matter because it's just too expensive to train scientists. ML can crunch any data and result and speed up research by guiding experiments, where normal research just doesn't have enough resources to do so.

Of course, it really only works if the scientists are able to understand data and how to use ML, which is why computing becomes just a tool for a scientist, nothing else.

And again, ML is not really "smart", it's just sophisticated, improved statistical methods.

That was the original concept, unfortunately the current SpaceShip III won't be capable of point-to-point transportation.

> "The current SpaceShip III is designed to provide just a few minutes of weightlessness and views for space tourists for Virgin Galactic, and is a production version of SpaceShipTwo, with improved maintenance and flight rate performance and does not have point to point transportation capabilities as previously envisioned in 2016."

It works. But it’s not easy to use.

After finishing the edit, you need to press another button inside Joplin, to import the changes you made. Doesn’t work automatically.

You can only edit single files like that. If the file contains links to other notes, they are not resolvable.

It is not possible to just create some Md files and let Joplin index them and watch them for updates.

There is a hotfolder plug-in, but it only imports those files and then deletes them.

MY understanding (at least in the UK) was that hospitals and universities also do a lot of research (often cutting-edge), and are often the source of innovation. These entities are largely publicly funded.
> All people holding patents need to be innovating with them, or otherwise, lose them after a short period.

A patent only last 15 or 20 years... copyright is a much bigger issue (copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years).
Is it too much to ask to a contributor to make contributions that match the code style guidelines? No arguments, if the code doesn't pass code style guidelines it's rejected. Also, normalize (interactive) rebase to pretend the code was perfect when written - "fix" and "style" commits should simply never make it into the main branch.

Your premise for why diamonds are a scam seems to be that you don’t personally see any value in them. Which is a perfectly fine position to have, but it doesn’t make them a scam. Everybody sees value in some things that other people don’t. Diamonds are essentially useless, but so is a painting. You might find them austentatious or distasteful, but that doesn’t make them a scam either.

Your argument about their scarcity being artificial also seems pretty flawed to me. Naturally occurring diamonds are genuinely scarce, and most people value them differently from lab created ones (as they are free to do). Perhaps those people are just being stupid, but they’re no more stupid than all the other people in the world who find value in useless things. It’s not illegal to make lab made diamonds, they’re freely available on the market. But just like a pixel-perfect print of the Mona Lisa, they’re not valued quite as much as the real thing.
Stupidity is vile, you know?

"The majority of the public wants whatever they are lobbied to believe they need."

Ok, can you show me the lobbying that swayed their opinion on this topic then? If they are just gullible like you claim, then do you think these incapable people will have the capacity to choose well after removing license requirements for providers?

"Plenty of medical procedures could be done by nurses and other non-physician medical professionals, yet this entire option is barred to the public."

This is not banned at all. Physician assistants and nurse practitioners exist and can perform some medical procedures/tasks. Even pharmacists. Granted I've personally had some negative experiences with some PAs and try to choose actually physicians for most things.

"There should be a free market, with consenting adults free to choose for themselves who to hire to perform services for them."

That would be nice in many ways, but I can see a downside too. Once someone is found to be incompetent, fraudulent, and harmful, how would they be barred from the profession to prevent the issue from happening to others? Usually things like insurance and bonding are requirements to cover any issues for people in this and other licensed fields.

Two flaws with your argument:

1. We crossed the line on climate change. We need to stop wasting co2 for everything not critical to us and need to start investing and incentivcing green things.

2. I heard this argument often enough and blindly repeated: bitcoin will always optimize for the cheapest energy. Right now it co sums coal energy and it takes away green energy.

There is also no incentive for any Bitcoin miner to invest in green energy. Why would they? If they would it would mean laws make it that they have to because green energy would be the cheapest one. And then they would still consume all of this green energy because that's what bitcoin consumes: Energy.

The only thing left is heat. Heating with energy is the worst way of heating. Heating through thermal energy is more efficient.

Bitcoins value is decoupled from the energy sector. The incentive of burning co2 for money is much higher than what the energy market is optimized for.

Our energy market is often subsidies because people NEED energy.

Guess who wins in rural china? Bitcoin mining or a light bulb for a kid to learn in the evening? Come guess
Are you under the impression that emojis "mean" the same for everyone? We kinda invented words to specify the meaning; emojis are a horrible step back.

The article is really just a bunch of academics arguing about growth rates. When one of them denies that the Industrial Revolution even happened, he's making a pretty specific claim about economic growth and worker's wages. He's not talking about technological capability at all.

The thing is, the ability to buy an affordable train ticket from London to Brighton doesn't show up on national growth statistics, or even the retail price index. Also if people spend the same amount on clothes, but now they are made with far superior machine woven cloth in a variety of styles and fashions using vibrant dyes, again the economic statistics won't even blink. Whether the US government spent $25bn in 1973 dollars on putting Astronauts on the Moon, or on 2 years of the war in Vietnam, is invisible to the kind of analysis being done by these economists.

Imagining a change in the tech landscape isn't that absurd. If there's a vacuum in the market, do you not think there are capable technology startups in the UK that could fill it?
I’ve used Joplin for obsessive note taking for a couple years now and am happy with it (after trying every other tool I could find). It lets me sync with my standard sync tools and being FOSS I know it won’t end up being a paid app down the track or get bought out and ruined.

Obsidian does have a slightly nicer UI and some nice features Joplin doesn’t have but I think the former points are way more important.
He's on to something. The prose drops little passages easy to criticize, but the overall essay has good reasoning. I strongly agree the events one attends creating an alternative reality are more therapeutic and necessary than many are willing to admit.
>We don't let MasterCard and Visa print up their own hundred dollar bills, after all.

Some financial institutions may engage in fractional reserve lending, and if an entity can "securitize" or otherwise creatively determine the value of any assets or liabilities, then effectively they are allowed to create their own money.
> If you were to walk into a store that said "please support the creator" as payment, your shelves would be empty.

Yes, but that's because when you take a physical good off the shelf there isn't still a copy on the shelf. Software does not have this problem.

> Or in other words if software costed no money and always relied on donation, you'd be bankrupt.

There are obvious examples that contradict your point: Linus and The Toady One come immediately to mind. Though, admittedly, they are outliers.
> It's not like they were overwhelmed or collapsed onto the ground crying because of it.

Being able to see the curvature of the very planet you live on shouldn't have to be a a rare and expensive privilege. After all, you were born on this planet, and it would be nice to see roughly half of it in one glance from space. You don't know what that feels like if you haven't experienced it.

I absolutely love Obsidian and it’s been great to have it on my iOS devices as well! I’m still blown away by how quickly a two person team turned around an Electron app and built iOS and Android versions.
I got my first iPad in 2011 and went to see my grandmother up in Durham, North East England, who was in her 90s. My wife is Chinese and was in China with my daughters at the time, and we did a Skype call. At first she literally could not believe what she was seeing. It took me several times to explain that this was actually them, right now in China, and they could talk back to her and it wasn't just a recording or some sort of trick.

>In 2020, the UK Supreme Court ruled a UK court can set the rate for patent payments worldwide, despite the court only being able to consider the infringement of UK patents. A trial in 2022 will determine how much Apple will have to pay.

From my limited reading I think and correct me if I am wrong that is why the numbers it so large at $7B. It is basically if a patent that is ruled valid in the UK, the company will have to pay the fees for it worldwide, i.e ~250M unit per year and all the past years of infringement. The only way to not have to pay would be to get out of the UK market so the company will have to have its patent on trial in court in every other country.

There is no way that $7B was made solely on the iPhone sold in UK. The numbers just dont add up.

>> I'm not sure that is right. Apple's position is it should indeed be able to reflect on the terms and decide whether commercially it is right to accept them or to leave the UK market. There may be terms that are set by the court which are just commercially unacceptable.

This is not a threat. But a valid argument, which is so rare from Apple. It is not the first time Apple has threaten to leave the market in numerous other occasions such Australia, Germany, or EU.
Emoji: like Kanji, but without agreed upon semantic meaning or pronunciation!

I’ve been a happy user of Obsidian for almost a year. It’s a solid product, moving at impressive speed (until recently they had almost weekly releases of features/bugs/improvements) with just 2 people. In my opinion we need more products and teams like these.

As for my use of Obsidian, I’ve put into it almost 400 permanent notes into it and I have my journal in it as well. I find the process of connecting ideas and thoughts great for exploring subjects/books/articles. I’m a fan of this product.
Of course, that's a claim from Apple in response claims of anticompetitive behaviour.

I find it difficult to believe, as a mobile developer myself, that 330,000 jobs are being supported by the App Store in any meaningful way.
Unless you've been hired as an astronaut, I fail to see how a rocketship emoji would communicate anything relevant. An exclamation mark (or more than one) is a time-honored way of expressing excitement.
In the interests of demonstrating a harsh penalty for judicial overreach, I would like to see this case made, and Apple abandon the market.

I don't know the British system well enough to understand what reaction public opinion would have on members of parliament, but some censure of the judge and reversal of the patent decision could happen.
The author has obviously never been to Comicon. The festivals are still there, they just aren't manditory anymore.

> Only if you store your notes in OneDrive.

Do you have a source for that? I don't believe this is true. When creating a notebook, I can specify if I want a OneDrive-synched notebook or a local one (OneNote 2016). Such a limitation _might_ be part of the Store version of OneNote, but that's just a guess. Also a Reddit thread I found discussing this topic stated there's no such limitation in OneNote 2016.

That does not compute though. If prices are lowered, sales volumes will go up because people (and insurance companies) can afford it. I'm no economic, but we've seen time and time again that lowering prices boosts volume sold to the point where eventual profit is much higher.

I mean the government can pitch in via subsidies for medicine R&D if it's really necessary, but honestly the pharma companies are swimming in money, they can afford to funnel money into R&D and pay their taxes instead of pushing it upwards to shareholders and foreign bank accounts.
I wish more companies would have the guts to fight all these crazy government requests and regulations. Let the people choose if they want to lose the services they rely on so that some politician has a glory bulletpoint on his CV.

Art projects still have ethics to them. He could’ve put a singular art installation somewhere for people to use and have their photo taken while they browse a specific art installation.

Violating people’s privacy in order to remind them their privacy is important sounds like the sort of “I’m harming you for your own good” that abusers use.
Haven't the movie studios seeded their own torrents and then taken the people on the other end of the connection to court? I'm sure a lot of the DMCA letters etc directed at ISPs were specifically for torrent users.
When did I conflate them? I mentioned them separately in different contexts, and that wasn’t by accident. And where’s your support that I have a shallow understanding of it? You’ve made a few accusations here that don’t seem related to what I said. I also never implied society is the end-all-be-all.
They mean lock you in to their services only. Once you're in there you're forced to pay for whatever services they provide, which could be a lot in an emergency or if your unconscious. I think they were also referencing the idea that you are forced to pay a high amount for Motrin, when an alternate source would be much cheaper.
Kinda? All of Alphabet's Bets including Loon are explicitly high-risk, high-reward "moonshots", meaning it's expected for many if not most to fail.

By contrast, Wave, Plus and Glass were all consumer products from the mothership that were heavily hyped as being the Next Big Thing that would revolutionize work/IM, social networks and mobile phones respectively.
The point is that it's a political choice to give people the ability to communicate through emojis while removing it from others (e.g. the gun example).
I stuck with Joplin, because it is FOSS and not much worse than Obsidian.

I actually like Obsidian more and I would be glad to pay the price. My problem is that it now runs well, uses compatibile formats, is actively maintained - but who knows how will it be 10 years from now? Having the whole of my bibliography locked in in Mendeley was not a great experience.
Or, you could say, "agreed upon semantic meaning" is a work in progress.

Except Kanji and other logographic systems since the hieroglyphs don't actually picture a thing directly, so there's no confusion between what's the "agreed upon" meaning and what the image represents at face value.
To fully get where I am coming from, you have to go back to when .NET was released.

.NET was supposed to be the great reunification of VB, C++ and COM runtimes, then also got a Java touch into the mix and .NET happenend (initially was known as Ext-VOS).

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/archive/blogs/dsyme/more-c-...

Hence why CLR is just like WASM + GC if you prefer a modern comparisasion.

If you go back into web archives, when Visual Studio.NET was released, it was going to be .NET everywhere, across the whole stack.

However a big management mistake happened, .NET was part of DevTools business unit, while C++ was kept under WinDev, up until Satya started to change the culture, it has been pretty much WinDev vs DevTools.

So Managed DirectX comes, eventually gets killed, XNA and Silverlight take over Windows Phone 7, get killed by WinRT and DirectXTK and so on.

Going back to the originally statement, if you Google for why Longhorn did not work out, you will find many .NET blaming.

https://hackernoon.com/what-really-happened-with-vista-4ca7f...

Yet Android, ChromeOS, Midori are examples of what happens when actually everyone works into the same direction bringing an OS into production.

Joe Duffy does some remarks on his two talks, where he hints at why it was a failure to fight Windows culture

"Systems Programming in C# " - https://www.infoq.com/presentations/csharp-systems-programmi...

"Safe Systems Software and the Future of Computing" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuD7SCqHB7k

Note that for some time the Asian Bing nodes were actually running on top of Midori as production test.

A big decision of Vista, was to replicate the .NET design using COM instead (hello WinDev), hence why all major modern Windows APIs are now COM based.

Windows 8 doubled down on that by introducing WinRT, with AOT compiled .NET and C++/CX using COM as the future Windows runtime, this was a point of friction, as .NET Native isn't 100% compatible with regular .NET, and many C++ devs desliked C++/CX extensions (later C++/WinRT replaced C++/CX, but that is another story).

So to sort out all the adoption chaos, Project Reunion was born, which is basically merging the COM improvments brought by WinRT and app sandbox into Win32, and forgeting the split ever happened.

Even Reunion has had a couple of hicups, it started as XAML islands, it became eventually clear that that alone wouldn't do it, thus Project Reunion.

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2020/05/19/develo...

And now a year later, it was renamed as Windows App SDK.

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2021/06/24/what-w...

Note that many System C# features now live in C# 7 and later versions, and were also in the basis of C++ Core Guidelines.

Also note an example of the internal competition with the pleothora of GUIs being done now, Forms, WPF, WinUI, MAUI, Blazor, React Native for Windows.

Maybe if all divisions worked more together in Longhorn, the project would actually happened and Vista wouldn't have been needed, nor the strong emphasis on COM that it started.

I’ve been very much enjoying FSNotes [0] as a replacement for Notational Velocity (and nvALT) which are both abandonware at this point. FSNotes is a native app, is FLOSS and is actively maintained.
