It is in the public domain. You can play the cartoons in your bar, you can sample the recordings, etc, etc. You cannot violate the trademark which is different than violating the copyright which you still do not seem to understand. To violate a trademark you have to TRADE under the MARK. If you aren't purporting to be Disney or to use the Mickey Mouse trademark to confuse customers into thinking you are Disney, then you aren't violating a trademark. It might behoove you to do some minor research on the law if you are going to type pages about it here.
If the premise is true, this isn't good news. I know people are still circumspect of `The limit to growth` since their worse predictions (about ressources especially) turned out to be "wrong" (Jury is still out on conventionnal oil tbh), but their optimistic models, even the "business as usual" one, all demand a continuous (or even growing) rate of progress.

We can't really afford not to continue progressing in all fields.

So you'll still have all the adverts, they just don't update?
My Sony Bravia is just a couple years old and I just turned off the wifi and watch broadcast and drive it with a mac mini.

I suppose newer systems would use the LAN to update drivers and take over smart functions. If in the US, go by Best Buy and ask them for the remote for the display tv you like and see that it lets you kill internet function. Also that there aren't any always-on apps (or if there are, the menus let you disable them).
> As it stands, the highest bandwidth chain (Solana) makes significant sacrifices in decentralization -- SOL is hyper concentrated in VC/whale/Core Team hands, and the Core Team plays a huge role as Kingmaker, picking winning projects to signal-boost -- and there is not yet a chain with reasonable bandwidth and PRIVACY.

Solana is open source. What is stopping a community, perhaps even a DAO, from forking all the hard work those VCs so generously open sourced?

(side note - I fuckin love open source for this reason)
I don't buy TVs anymore, I buy monitors.

There's no reason to own a television with a shitty computer built-in, when I can just buy a screen and plug it into my actually good computer.

Right now I have a 27" ThinkVision display and a pair of studio monitors, with both laptop and Switch connected to it. Media comes over the computer (who even buys cable in 2021 anyway?), audio patches into the display over USB-C/HDMI and out to the speakers.

I'm moving soon and I'll probably spring for a 30+" 4K for the living room at some point, and look into a receiver and theatre speakers but honestly I don't see the point.

You do pay a bit more for the display-per-inch, but the reason those "4K smart TVs" are so cheap is all the adware money, so they're only "cheap" in the way that Facebook is "free".
> NFTs are the use case a lot of Crypto was looking for

I have a hard time taking this sentiment seriously.. NFTs seem like vaporware. Their demonstration of ownership is unenforceable on chain nor off chain.
It's saying thanks as a response to the slower truck flashing its high beams to let the faster truck know it's now safe to move back over to the slower lane.
Also from the Fowler piece: "C3's cancellation, however, also proves that XP is no guarantee of success." It's fair to examine the at best mixed success of the "birth project" of XP (which formed a lot of AGILE) when evaluating the breathless claims of people who sell methodologies.
Alloy 6: it's about Time
There are some sites where "signup" and "login" are synonymous - if you don't have an account, it'll make you one, and if you do, you login

But the reason "signup" is more important to a business/service than "login" is that it's WAY more expensive to GET a customer than to KEEP a customer

It takes more time to get a customer

It takes more pitch to get a customer

It takes more incentives to get a customer

To keep one, all you have to do is not piss them off so much they decide to leave

It's why magazines are filled with promotional 1-, 2-, and 3-year subscription cards at 60%, 75%, or even 95% off the newsstand price

So if you just use the HDMI port, does the smarttv know what is going through the HDMI port?

A smart tv with no internet connection that only uses its HDMI ports is a dumb tv, isn't it?
The solution I am still working on is a xyte.ch x330 thinkpad that has been modified to remove bluetooth and mic as well as change the wifi to an atheros card (free software...)

It is also flashed with HEADs and I have a secret on a smartcard (usb stick) that I can use to sign my boot partition.

On the boot partition there will be a minimal system that lets me decrypt my hard drive and boot into my desired guix system generation. The boot partition is signed so it should never change (especially not every time you update your system configuration).

Guix allows you to bootstrap from a minimal seed so once I finish making the software I need for the bootstep I will set this up on that laptop by bootstrapping guix.

For me it's all about trying to go closer to the foundation a la precursor; rather than a theatre like qubes where the complexity is just too much.

In the not-as-distant-as-it-may-seem future I will probably try genode on a pinephone or a laptop and maybe it will be useable and robust..
I agree with all your points. I think your last point about macOS not just being for noobs is true. I don’t think I implied anything in my comment contrary to it.

I do think that despite macOS having these power user tools, their uptake in modern times seems more limited compared to the olden times (System 7-9) and when compared to other platforms. I know I was excited when Automator came out in OS X Tiger but I don’t know anyone who’s really used it outside of folks who publish their workflows.
Agreed, in my case it became very useful on large boxes (96 physical cores). The performance gain was about 10%.
> > "I look at like how a song might be in public domain but that doesn't mean the singers voice is. Likewise for actors vs TV shows."

That's my point ;)

> You simply just mistake trademarks for copyrights.

No, I'm not. I was talking about the public domain not copyright in that quote. You're the one conflating two things: If something is trademarked but not under copyright then it still isn't in the public domain.

Though I will accept some blame because I could have made my post clearer.
I'm unaware of a successful Internet company that didn't start by serving a niche market.

Successful businesses first leverage novel services to niche markets with less competition before expansion.
There are bad dogs that will wag their tails while approaching then bite You. There are bad people too, I wouldn't be surprised if every board game ever made includes fans who hate. The fact that the author is Asian should not give any more weight to their argument. It seems more and more people feel victimhood is a virtue that people should aspire to.

If some clown shows up to a game night wearing an Imperial Eagle Helmet with a bunch of Nazi figurines and I was there it probably wouldn't end well, but that would be the same if they showed up for any other public event.
The link between categories and the tweets assigned to them is weak. I puzzled over a political tweet categorized under Science until I realized that it included the word "reaction". (Or something like that.) That's a frequent occurrence. I unfollowed categories.
By definitive, he meant if it were truthful. But since it isn't, they get more clicks with the false headline, since the truthful one would simply say that the flu isn't stopped, which isn't a substantive story.

As we know, a question mark in a headline indicates that it's false, since if it were true, they'd just write the headline without the question mark.
Probably more nuanced than “destroyed.” The entire value of the coin didn’t exist like 6 years ago and is now $500B. The burned coins are just going to be factored into the price in some way.
It's two different meanings for the word "conservatism". You're quoting the more traditional meaning (for example "environmental conservatism" or "fiscal conservatism") whereas Wilhoit is using it to name an (in his view) ancient and universal political philosophy that he believes subsumes all others.

(FWIW I think he's got the wrong word. He says "For millenia, conservatism had no name..." and then cites divine right of kings.)

That's the point. The best managers/CEOs are mostly getting out of the way and telling person A to CC person B about a new idea. Not screwing up a system that works isn't the same as adding value.

The class of problem and its origins are constant in the interaction between human nature and an open market.

The specific problems of today are utterly unlike anything older. The medium is overwhelmingly determinate of impact.

The simplistic version of this is: there are profound non-linearities introduced by lack of friction. "Superficial" differences in the role of feedback and tailored results which are noise in the case of print and broadcast media, are everything in contemporary social media.

Most particularly, the so-called "algorithm" problem is specific to contemporary social media; and it is imbedded in our society in ways that are unlike anything which has challenged it previously: as the citizen-facing sharp edge of surveillance capital, in which the origin and flow of "value" (i.e. consumer data) is all but entirely removed from public view and individual agency; and acts as a meta-filter, which is the sharp edge of social media serving increasingly as the sole mechanism whereby people receive media.

We live in a world in which what we read is ever more carefully targeted, deluded in the belief that we have agency in what we see and some defense about what it does not just to us, but to society as a whole.

Contemporary social media is stochastic mind control. And as said, it is currently performed almost entirely in service of ends very much at odds with the common good, in almost any dimension you choose to inspect.

Oh well. We had an OK run.
I have a few years old Sony XBR model. I had to factory reset it a few months ago due to it randomly restarting itself after a system update. I just never connected it to the Internet and use an AppleTV and Xbox for streaming and gaming.
They have been for a while. But are these actually used for IP connectivity? If that was the case, a laptop’s HDMI port should show up as network interface, which it doesn’t, at least not on my machine.
65 years of research and our cutting-edge AI doesn't have a memory? Excuse me if I'm not excited. It's likely that most of the functions of the human brain were selected for intelligence. Such a focus on learning when problem solving and creativity are far more interesting.

Amazon CloudWatch Evidently – Experiments and Feature Management
Historically SCOUTS waits for states to diverge in law (which they very much have here) and then smacks whosoever on the wrong side of history. Seems like 4/5ths of states are happy with some form of "own and carry what you want in private get a license to do it in public". I suspect any decision will require the outlier states to make significant movement toward that standard.
I'm not really sure I follow? If Facebook and Instagram are two entirely different companies, how do people have the same managers?
Most of the time people say they're curious on the internet, they're actually feeling dismissive, but just need more ammo to be able to dismiss the person. Which makes it skepticism, not curiosity.

It's a decent goal to increase Firefox usage, but the blog appears to miss the elephant in the room with this comment:

> Don’t get me wrong, though - using Firefox is not painful at all. Quite the contrary!

... after noting an anecdote earlier in the post

> Last week I saw one site that directly didn’t support Firefox (it displayed a message I should switch to Chrome) and another where the sign in was broken on Firefox, but worked on Chrome-like browsers

These experiences make using Firefox painful for end-users, and if Chrome is 99% as good and doesn't have this friction, they'll use Chrome just to experience less online friction.

It's a vicious chicken-egg problem, because if Firefox's market-share is sub-5%, then it doesn't matter why that sign-in page doesn't work in FF... Nobody empowered to fix it will bother to look, because the workaround of "Just use a different browser" is very cheap from the site-owner's point of view (way cheaper than spinning up a debugging flow in a browser they're unfamiliar with).

Low market share drives increased likelihood of browser-site incompatibility drives users to switch to the larger-market-share browser drives low market share.

It's a bit more complicated than that.

Yes, the core of blake3 is a modified blake2b with fewer rounds, and yes the person who wrote the "Too much Crypto" paper is one of the blake authors, but there are other aspects of the construction that contribute as well.

Blake3 operates in a merkle tree mode using the modified blake2 as a node hashing function, which, in and of itself complicates attacks for reasons explained in the blake3 paper. Blake2 also didn't really have that many rounds to start with, Blake3 only reduces the round count from 10 to 7. A good _most_ of the speedup in Blake3 is due to the change in construction, the merkle tree mode allowing for unbounded parallelism, and not having the SIMD-friendly version be a variant. The parallel variants of Blake2 are already _almost_ as fast as Blake3 even without the round reduction (hell, BLAKE2sp can actually be faster than Blake3 in the right conditions).

The USA literally started a war on false pretenses and took over the Philippines as a result of Yellow Journalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Maine_(1889)

This included at least 15 years of harsh occupation, as the Philippine Katipunan (in the north) and Moros (the Muslims of the south) fought a guerilla war against their US occupiers, with roughly 200,000 dead from famines and war. I mean, USA occupied the Philippines until the 1940s (the seeds for Philippine independence were planted by the 20s, but WW2 severely delayed plans). But just because US Citizens have forgotten the story doesn't mean that this stuff didn't happen.

The Yellow Press has been a bane upon US society for over a century. There's letters from Ben Franklin about how he manipulated the press (ie: leaking false "scalping" stories about native Americans / British) to aid in the US Revolution. (See Henry Hamilton, a British Administrator who was widely believed to be a scalper, but proof never was offered on the subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Hamilton_(colonial_admin...)

-------

This is literally who we are as a people. Easily manipulated, outraged filled citizens who individually seem to have difficulty doing any form of critical thinking. Then a few elites get a good idea about how to manipulate the masses: be they Benjamin Franklin, William Hearst, his rival Pulitzer, or today Zuckerberg or Jack Dorsey.

Its been like this for centuries, and it will continue to be like this long after you or I die.

I guess I see this differently. I see the last gasp of the Republican Party more than anything, as the younger you go (and not terribly younger, at that[0]), they are losing influence, and are trying every trick in the book to maintain that influence.

Note too, that things like the statues being removed tend to be because we are finally acknowledging our historical issues, like having prominent statues celebrating slave owners may not be a trend we want to continue, its not being done in way to silence political opposition. Is there any reason we need to hold slave owners in such high esteem we keep statues around of them? Even our founders don't deserve to be forever enshrined in the American conscious in that way, no?

The thing people forget about the Nazi rise to power is it wasn't just predicated out of nowhere, it was a ripe time where the beliefs espoused by the Nazi party where a lot more popular and acceptable in that era, unfortunately.

Red flag, sure. But when they say things like "The peer-reviewed paper to which I linked, which I am not proposing as a replacement for Bitcoin, explains (to those who are willing to read it) why the block being chosen before or after the leader election does not matter when it comes to the security and consensus properties of Bitcoin." it seems very clear to me that they do understand the mechanism, despite that red flag.

I think your analogy to flat earth was better. Because sure, treating the earth as flat isn't correct, but it's often a perfectly good approximation, and arguing about whether a big field is flat or not is a giant waste of time. Don't completely dismiss someone because they use those terms.

"Leader" or not, it's basically equivalent. And the process of letting miners input yes/no values for whether they support a proposal into their block, averaged over thousands of blocks, gives you the same result as "voting". So talk about whether those results are useful.

Yes, but nobody has to use their work.
