You're only arguing against the claim about copyright terms by equating two separate definitions of "public domain." public domain is being enriched by that stuff from the early 20th century. The "public feeling" stuff of the 1999 internet wasn't actually in the public domain then either.

The public domain has gotten larger as has the private domain. But all that private stuff is now on track to expire one day, while in 1999 it was not clear that that would ever happen at all.

Compared to 1999, a lot more of that "private domain" stuff is also being made freely available, price-wise.

I support copyright expiration, but making Disney's copyright portfolio worth less when they continue to create a bunch of stuff was never an explicit part of that goal for me.

Are you aware that the age of consent in Georgia used to be 12? Then they decided that 12 was a bit young, so they raised it. All the way to 14.
Correlation is not causation (I hate having to post this.) This is an awful lot of words to avoid the question of whether the small-government philosophy you personally subscribe to, whatever it may be, would prefer that government contract out prison services, or run them itself. If you prefer contracts, stop arguing, if you don't, explain why you think the operation of prisons is a proper function of a small government. It's not hard.
The problem of Ivermectin trials based in Latin American countries is that community Ivermectin use is so widespread, it becomes a major confounder in trials because most of the 'placebo' group could be using it.

'Latin America’s embrace of an unproven COVID treatment is hindering drug trials'

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02958-2

Hopefully it would be noted in the limitations section of the trial paper, but the writers of media articles are often polarized or biased and just cherry pick.

ETA, personally I would prefer small well designed trials from researchers with historical expertise who provide plenty of accompanying information and are willing to discuss the results, eg Chaccour et al:

'The effect of early treatment with ivermectin on viral load, symptoms and humoral response in patients with non-severe COVID-19: A pilot, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial'

If you're not talking about 'responsiveness' and 'web' when talking about the metaverse, you're missing big pieces.

The metaverse is going to be built on top of the web, and will be responsive not just in terms of device support but also projectionality.

But most won't notice right away since it will be a poor way to make money. Just like the big service providers missed the web.

> The science on this is clear, please update your stance.

You are conflating science with "stats".

> Natural immunity is not as protective as vaccine induced immunity.

If that is true and if the science is clear, then why is that the case? What is the biological mechanism behind that? Shouldn't natural immunity be better in most cases since your body is actually fighting the real disease? Since you say the "science is clear", can you explain the science behind it?

> It is in fact 2.3x more likely that you will get reinfected while unvaccinated, and a stronger immune response from the vaccine means fewer people end up hospitalized. See:

From your link...

"Finally, this is a retrospective study design using data from a single state during a 2-month period; therefore, these findings cannot be used to infer causation. Additional prospective studies with larger populations are warranted to support these findings."

So you say the science is clear and then you link to a study that explicitly says not to infer any causation?

You literally spread FUD and misinformation. As seems to be the case of so many invested in this covid narrative on both sides.
I think the only long term solution is to establish or work for a cooperative which does not patent ideas or which only patents ideas defensively to protect the free use of ideas for its members, to establish public banks, to levy distributive taxes on private land and natural resource holders.

If everyone were driving new, perfectly maintained vehicles, this might work. But in the real world, an automated system that can move around huge battery packs, remove and install them correctly, and do so consistently and reliably with all the variability of regular people’s cars is an engineering nightmare. That type of system is already introducing a ton mechanical complexity and failure points, which is the opposite of one of the selling points of BEVs, lower maintenance cost and higher reliability.

The system has to work at basically 100% reliability for it to be realistic. If your gas car had a 1% chance of not being able to fill up, and you had to bring it into the shop to find out what part of a complex gas cap system wasn’t functioning properly, that’s probably not a car you would buy.

Then there is standardization. Distributing batteries based on the individual vehicle shape and size is hugely beneficial. Forcing it into a standard removable “pack” brick would reduce capacity, handling, etc. And are you going to regulate all cars use the same pack? Otherwise every car manufacturer would have to build out their own battery pack stations across the country and you would have to find your car brand station.

Also, the whole idea of driving your fuel down, then going and refilling it all at once is a very ICE vehicle thing. 90% of people use their cars for daily commuting between home and work/shopping/activities and back home. If your car refuels every night and you start each day with 300 miles of range, why would you need to stop anywhere to refuel? Obviously this doesn’t cover all scenarios, but the roadtrip is a pretty small use case.

Actually, in SGML (but not the XML subset of SGML) it's common to define char sequences (shortrefs) an SGML parser would replace into tags, which together with tag inference (also left out from XML) can make it possible to at least type casual and high school math naturally as ASCII math expressions and have those render into presentational MathML. Though that approach clearly has limitations (fraction style, roots, infix expressions, etc.). It's also conceivable to attempt to customize SGML's concrete syntax to recognize LaTeX (but not TeX proper) such that it treats "\bla{...}" as <bla>...</bla>, etc.

But the fact that nobody had bothered probably tells us it's not all that useful.
As far as I'm concerned, this is great news. Of course I get the criticisms from the "MathML sucks" and "why not use TeX" crowd. And that's fine... I'm not even sure I disagree with those folks. But the big difference, to me, is that MathML-in-the-browser is here (more or less) today and is just shy of being ubiquitous and widely usable by most browser users. That is, IMO, a big deal.

And the people who really, really, want something other than MathML are free to start (or finish?) writing code, raising money to have other people write code, etc., and work with Google, Mozilla, et al, and get their system integrated into browsers. I'd just be surprised if this effort yields any meaningful results in less than 20 years.

So at least now we'll have native MathML rendering to tide us over until the New Math Browser Thing becomes reality.

This might be a difference in values but to describe the metaphor as "flippant" is rather puritan don't you think? It's not as if the metaphor is reducing the gravitas of the issue. It does not even make a value judgment on whether or not slavery is wrong. It is a neutral metaphor at best.

If we as a society move to a state where a metaphor like so is verboten just because it is less pleasant or already considered "evocative" then how can we have deep and nuanced discussions on this period itself? You know the ones where we explicitly acknowledge the horrors of slave dehumanization, the terrible working conditions in the plantations, the violence stemming from these racist beliefs, among others.

Those issues are too heavy to be evoked by the metaphor (and frankly irrelevant to its purpose) and yet our current trajectory would want people to do away with it when it only serves to illustrates the relationship between computing resources. It's not even a comment on social history.
Not the action part. Also not at the scale I did. The simplicity my system has means you can host, maintain and develop it with zero turnaround yourself.

Finally, Second Life did not make anything open enough legally for the system to grow organically indefinitely. Nobody has yet, partly because the hardware has always improved, which is slowing down now.

> This assumes those App Stores themselves are either audited or verified by Apple to provide a level of verification to prevent such apps from just being submitted unsandboxed and/or the platform notarizing every app without question

No, it very specifically doesn't. It would be Apple allowing another authority to also shoulder this load, after the user has specifically said they want to also trust that authority.

I have no idea how you could come to the conclusion the Apple would need to verify everything in a discussion about a way in which Apple would not need to be the only entity verifying everything.

You cannot equate being a tradesman to a software engineer:

Being a software engineer requires highly intense focus for hours on end, unpacking and repacking equations in different languages, which you must continuously teach yourself while using them to build things.

Also, here's no reason you cannot become one.

Unless of course, you're not willing to do what it takes. And guess what amigo: It takes time, effort, and the ability to simply sit and focus at a desk for 4-8 hours per day and teach yourself several related languages, and client (browser) & server (such as 100% free, open source, Linux) configuration methodologies.

Can you do that?

So don't blame anyone but yourself for your choice not to go to google right now and search for "Roadmap to becoming Full Stack Web App Developer" or "Roadmap to becoming a Mobile App Developer".
It's completely within the realm of possibility that this could happen. A few bad quarters down the road and a leadership change might be all it takes.

Apple is not being anti-competitive, competitors are free to go play in Google's play ground. The iphone started with no third party apps, Apple has zero obligation to anyone.

> (and I would argue probable) that life will get worse for a long while before improving.

Sure. Like I said, you can do this at any point in time and if enough people do that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy so it's better not.

Out of curiosity, I took a look at your submission history (which is vast!) and it's 90% doom and gloom across a vast array of topics. I do think living with such a negativity bias is very disempowering - and not to mention not fun. I don't mean to be stupid and blindly optimistic (I manage risk for a living among other things) but like I said, living with certainty that everything will be terrible will ruin your life.

Like I said, since dawn of man, people had reason to believe what you believe. And those who really believed it would have no reason to build anything, learn anything, invest in anything, have children etc - why do any of that if the world is ending.

But the world is inherited by those who DO do those things - everything we have, everything we are, everything we're investing in - is there because someone in the past believed that the future is worth the work. So just be careful how much of this your let into your psyche because it will lead to you to a dead end

VR isn't AR. AR is just the real world, but when you shop you also see the current price of the same product on Amazon[0]. When you see your coworker you get the same floating name-tag that you see when you Zoom them.

All that has real world value. You also get the more advanced stuff, like seeing what your living room would look like with that IKEA couch before you buy it. Maybe you don't even need a computer screen, since your AR device can just show one whenever and whereever - great for movie nights with friends when you don't have a projector.

VR is great for gaming, porn and video. Maybe interactive learning too, idk.

I wonder if it’s less waste than spoiling a larger container.
Apple has unlimited access now, all that stands in their way is the thinnest of policy lines.
The *.mov file format is the same as MPEG-4's container format (in fact, MPEG-4's container is intentionally based on QuickTime's *.mov) and is even standardized as an ISO spec: "ISO/IEC base media file format": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_base_media_file_format + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime_File_Format

...and Apple has been using MPEG-4 AVC and HEVC for at least a decade now, so I don't understand what the OP is complaining about: QuickTime *.mov files are MPEG-4 container files, which usually contain MPEG-4 AVC or MPEG-4 HEVC streams.

Other people are reporting the same problem: the other media software can't read Apple's screen-recording files, so I'm assuming this actually means that Apple's screen-recordings are saved using a codec other than MPEG-4 AVC or HEVC, but still in an MPEG-4 container. So for this conversation to continue, we need to know what codec/video-stream-format is actually being used (I don't have a Mac ready to experiment right now, sorry).

-----

UPDATE: After some research, I think that macOS screen-recordings are made using Apple's ProRes video coding, and then saved inside a QuickTime (aka MPEG-4) Container.

ProRes is very different to AVC, HEVC, etc, which explains why you need to transcode it to do anything useful with it.

-------

UPDATE 2: So screen recordings don't use ProRes by default, they use AVC (but what profile?), so I'm unsure why so many other programs and websites reject those files because, theoretically, there should be no problem in processing them, unless the site was written by someone who doesn't understand how video files work...

It's clear from context because the photos are from a meeting with the victim's family. You can see the censored photos here: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/rahul-gandhi-... I don't know why India has a law against showing photos of rape victims families. Perhaps because rape brings shame to the victim's family in some circles. However, if you are publicly meeting with a national politician you clearly do not ascribe to that view and it is obvious that you wouldn't mind being seen in photos with that politician.
What's the risk of vaccine injury?

If the percentage chance of serious vaccine injury is many times less than the chance of somewhat serious covid or long covid... a logical person would take the vaccine.

If you just had covid and had a mild or moderate case, yes I could accept not getting a vaccine.

What i'm talking about is moreso that people should get vaccine immunity, and then get the delta so that we don't fall too far behind in general immunity.
Destruction of the USSR in 1991 gave a boost to the Western economies by eliminating a strong competitor and opening a new huge market.

>Any tutorials/software you can recommend for this?

Not GP, but the process is pretty simple:

You'll need to be able to send, receive, store and forward emails. A variety of resources are required to do this. Note that pretty much all of the software suggestions are available through the default software trees of just about every Linux/BSD distribution.

1. You'll need a domain;

2. You'll need DNS services to publish your MX records with DMARC/DKIM/SPF[17] and/or DANE[18] support. If you can/want to host your own (not difficult), lots of folks like Unbound[0][1]. And while some folks hate on BIND[2][3], it's always a good choice. There are many others[4] as well;

3. You'll need a Mail Transfer Agent[5] (MTA) to send and receive emails. Postfix[6][7] is very popular. Some folks use Exim[8][9]. And others use the venerable sendmail[10][11];

4. You'll also need a Mail Delivery Agent[12] to store your mailboxes and serve them via a web interface and/or your mail client. Lots of folks like Dovecot[13][14]. Others use Cyrus[15][16].
