> Which leads us to the question of why it should indeed ever expire?

It's the 21st century, nothing stops us from simply copying works with absolute impunity. The question is why even recognize copyright as legitimate to begin with?

Society is doing creators a favor by pretending their works are artificially scarce. We allow creators to profit from their works. Public domain is actually how things are naturally: after data is created, it can be copied infinitely at negligible costs. We enable the artificial scarcity that allows creators to profit from their works.

There has always been an understanding that eventually the works will return to the public domain. Creators are supposed to make money for a while but eventually the party is supposed to end. We're not here to enable their eternal rent seeking. If they want more money, they gotta make new stuff.

Every time copyright duration is extended, it's a slap in the fact of the public. We have been blatantly robbed of our public domain rights. No one's ever been bold enough to suggest straight up eliminating our rights though. At some point copyright infringement becomes civil disobedience and a moral imperative.
Shameless, but very relevant plug:

My team have been working to solve this problem (and more). We recently released our CLI tool, palm, as OSS. Along with a plugin, palm-dbt, which we designed specifically for working with dbt projects in an optimal way.

Palm requires running code in containers, so teams can ensure dependencies and versions are correct. Then the plugin provides sensible defaults, with solutions for common problems (like idempotent dev/ci runs) and an abstraction in front of the most common commands you need to run in the container.

It's been a huge boon for our analysts productivity, improved the reliability and quality of our models, and decreased onboarding times for new people joining our data team.

Eh, when it comes to metalworking or the production of advanced alloys, again plastics really aren't a big part of the process. I bet machinists eat fast food and use plastic straws sometimes :) but maybe that's not the point.

Space rockets just aren't prime examples of how plastics enable modern tech, of course it would be hard to find something that had zero plastic in the production chain, but food, medicine, and biology are really where the plastic shines and consumer goods are where there are lots of times where plastic is environmentally competitive to the alternatives unless your argument involves transitioning to a luddite society.
The more infections there are the more variants and more fit variants there are. Only a zero COVID policy with global technology sharing will realistically end this.

As I've got older, I need fonts that are larger than what the gurus at Apple seem to desire. On a 5K iMac with a 27" U2720Q (4K) right hand side monitor, I have most web pages at 110%.

What I don't understand is why we've somehow got to the situation that a measure of font size has become resolution dependent.

I'm just physically measure an "M" on my web browser, and it's 4mm (0.16" or 12pt). The Mac insists on using somewhere between 8pt and 11pt. I can't expand that by the minor variation without losing lots of screen space.

I don't want a larger screen because the top of the screen is at eye level, which is the correct position ergonomically.

I wasn't conscious until the early 2000s, so forgive me if my comment conflicts with any firsthand knowledge you may have. My guess is that those in those early days, the internet was a frontier less concerned with extraction of value because it much less clear how to do that versus today. The internet was probably going to play out roughly how it is now no matter what happened once you got enough people on it, overwhelming those who valued the open culture and structure which came before.

Regarding socialism/communism as you used the word, I personally don't think it is a good system to apply to the total breath and depth of society in the real world, but it seems to me when the internet was in its infancy and on a plane of existence almost entirely apart from the real world, it's easier to be communist. Having a terrible time on the internet probably meant you just lost a bit of time, productivity (esp. if you were one of the early users/academics/professionals which found utility in it before the masses), and a few cents of electricity. Now, everything I care about in real life such as my bank account, social reputation, work, and so on can be connected to, accessed, improved, or destroyed on through the internet in some way. It's made a lot of things more convenient, but there's a lot of power to be had and space for chaos to be sown. The stakes of real life have spilled over and with it all the internal and external problems socialism/communism has to contend with in the real world.
> from what I can tell the 2-shot people who die are generally older and/or infirm. So I believe the 2shot numbers are being thrown off by an atypical population...

People over 50 make up 1/3 of the population and 93% of covid deaths.

The overwhelming majority of people that die from this thing are older and/or infirm. It has nothing to do with an atypical population, that's just how this virus works.

The vaccine can only do so much. We need to stop pretending it's the "slam dunk" our experts advertised it as and get on with our lives.
Which legal theory? The 'wait around to get shot, because it takes three days of deliberation for 12 people to determine whether or not the person running around shooting people in a riot can be defined as an active shooter' theory?

Not waiting around for that determination seems to have worked out pretty well for Rittenhouse. He's both not dead, and a free man.
Non-shortened title: Playing the Bullshit Game: How Empty and Misleading Communication Takes Over Organizations

Author: André Spicer

Date: June 4, 2020

Abstract: Why is bullshit so common in some organizations? Existing explanations focus on the characteristics of bullshitters, the nature of the audience, and social structural factors which encourage bullshitting. In this paper, I offer an alternative explanation: bullshitting is a social practice that organizational members engage with to become part of a speech community, to get things done in that community, and to reinforce their identity. When the practice of bullshitting works, it can gradually expand from a small group to take over an entire organization and industry. When bullshitting backfires, previously sacred concepts can become seen as empty and misleading talk.

I keep seeing this repeated. Why do so many people still think leaky vaccines prevent transmission?
okay, i get that mRNA vaccines are not introducing weakened versions of the actual virus like a conventional vaccine, but what explains the sometimes severe side effects people receive? those symptoms aren't related to covid at all, and there's zero relation between how one reacts to the vaccine and how one would react to covid?

i understand things are very politicized now, so to be clear, genuine interest. i thought there was some relation just based on how regular vaccines operate.

It imitates numerous other ketogenic supplements, yet the most striking thing about it is that the fixings list is short. There is just a single critical sort of fixing in the entire equation:Beta-Hydroxybutyrate – Beta-hydroxybutyrate, also called BHB is an exogenous ketone [1]that is normal in these sorts of items. It is accepted that raised BHB levels in the blood could assist with prodding ketosis and lead to weight reduction.

I thought it was the protocol.
Wasn't there news about how as a virus mutates over time it becomes less severe, but more transmissible? Something about where the virus just wants its host to live long enough to transmit the virus to someone else so it can continue passing its genetic data over. It seems like Omicron could be following this pattern.

If you have too severe of a virus, then all its hosts are killed and it can't live on. Too weak of a virus and the host's immune systems will kill it before it has a chance to transmit.
Many companies licensed ARM ISA. If Nvidia wants to hinder competition by only licensing them low performance cores, isn't it still possible for them to design their own cores?
Honestly, I don't think it's that hard. I assume we're talking about fairly senior candidates here.

"Tell me about the most complicated projects you contributed a significant part of the design, implementation to, or ideally both."

Start with the problem they aimed to solve.

Probe for how they chose the solution, and what alternatives they considered.

Get into the details of specifically what artifacts they produced, and if part of a team what role they played.

Get them to describe the solution in technical detail.

Probe into trade-offs they had to make or compromises.

Ask what aspects they found novel or innovative.

Once they finish describing the system, ask if it was successful, and how they measured it.

If they were around after launch, how did they operate it, monitor it, what unexpected challenges they encountered that they didn't foresee.

By the way, all along it doesn't matter if the domain or technology they are describing to you is totally different from your own experience. A senior+ engineer should be able to explain their domain to someone equally technical in a different domain with some competency.

Finally, since you now understand the problem space and the solution yourself, ask them "How would you scale this out to 10-100X" (by some metric).

Altogether, this is a dense 40-45 minutes extremely well spent. And it weeds out the phonies and charlatans.

Some yellow flags that individually aren't a problem but when you start seeing multiple of them turn into a red flag:

* Someone who didn't question the requirements and just accepted them from upstream.

* Someone that wrote a lot of code on the project, but didn't make any of the tough decisions.

* Someone that avoids talking about what they did, and focuses too much on "we"

* Someone who did all the initial decisions but did none of the actual implementation work.

* Someone who describes how X solved the problem, but you realize that's the only option they really considered

* Someone who left before the project finished, or immediately after.

* Someone who isn't sure if the project was a success or didn't see it their responsibility to find out.
>>>I don't think temporarily stopping us from spying on them justifies potentially killing people

Interestingly enough, Trump took the same position when the Iranians shot down an expensive spy drone, and Trump called off the punitive strike against Iran that would have killed ~150 people. Yet people maintained that he was an unstable warmonger. shrug

Yeah, but like WPF, very little companies are writing promising new software using WinForms. I stripped my resume of anything WinForm related because I kept getting god damn DoD legacy-ware jobs.
Maybe you missed the news that naturally acquired antibodies aren't necessarily effective against further variants.[0] I wouldn't be so glib about hoping that millions get infected. If it turns out that Omicron is decidedly less deadly than the prior mutations, that of itself will shape policy decisions toward fewer restrictions. But if it's as deadly or more deadly, our best option is for a slow spread so we have time to revise our treatments as needed without unnecessary loss of life.

M1 is the sum of currency held by the public (i.e., currency outside the Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions); traveler's checks of non-bank issuers; and transaction deposits at depository institutions.

The M1 Money Supply was $3.964 trillion in November 2019 (seasonally adjusted). Of that, $1.705 trillion was currency and the rest of the amount was deposits.

The M2 Money Supply includes M1 along with savings accounts, money market accounts, money market funds, and time deposits under $100,000. It does not include IRA or Keogh retirement accounts. $9.769 trillion was in savings accounts; $1.003 trillion was in money markets; $591 billion was time deposits; and the rest was M1.

M2 was $15.327 trillion in November 2019 (seasonally adjusted).

By the end of 2021, the federal government had $28.43 Trillion dollars in federal debt.

To answer your question: “How do we judge that governments are not providing services at good value?”

I’d say not spending almost 2x the money supply would be a sign of better value.

One start is to download the budgets and spending bills of your country and others and see if you can balance the budget. The exercise of balancing the budget makes a good project for macroeconomics classes. I had to do it for my final macroeconomics project.
No. Also it's kinda over already, save for the media fearmongering. It's ridiculous to expect 0 death worldwide for any disease. We have to accept a few people will die of it from times to times, just like it is with the flu (which is targeting the same population anyway so nothing really changed).

I agree that we should invest in public transit. It is already good enough to get you a lot of places, but it could be better. We aren't New York or Tokyo. In fact, our energy should be spent on expanding transit, not expanding car ownership.

> I have a driveway and a garage, so the problem is solved for me, and in theory means someone could put their car in front of my house on the street.

I'm not sure what your objection here is then? Density won't impact your parking situation at all. The people moving in (or not moving in) after you can make the decision for themselves. By mandating a specific amount of parking, you are taking that decision from them.

I'm not saying people shouldn't have a car. I already said I have a car, but that I pay for a spot. My partner and I share that car and that spot. If couples downsized from two cars to one, thats already a 50% reduction.

Enacting parking minimums digs us deeper in the car hole. Building 6 units instead of 4 is preferable. Instead we should invest in expanding public transit.
I wasn't specifically talking about OLED but the (lack of) quality of cinema projection, probably projection in general. I bet the q95 is very good as well.

No problem with that. Copyright shouldn't even exist anymore to be honest. Copyleft is just an attempt to make the most of a bad system and has no reason to exist in a world without copyright. Stallman would not want it abolished it, of course: all free software depends on copyright.

You want to copy GPL software? Sure. We'll copy yours too. That's the way things should be.
Shouldn't settle for less than interrupt on overflow tbh.
With delta and asymptomatic transmission this wasn’t totally the case iirc.

Increased viral load in the asymptomatic phase increased virality, but also increased deadliness once the symptoms started. At least that’s what I recall reading. Normally you’re correct, but it doesn’t necessarily need to be that way.

Hopefully we’re lucky and it’s both way more transmissible and way less deadly, but no one knows yet.

For the purpose of this discussion "the goal" is clearly defined, but I'm afraid you missed it.

No, they can never reach hegemony. The economy and population of the US would never have allowed it to reach hegemony if it wasn't for WW2 and it's extremely privileged position in North America. Geographically China will always have a lot of trouble projecting naval power internationally because of Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and the Malaccas. Thus, even if it had 2x the economy of the US, the US would still be able to have a larger general international military reach.

To be the hegemon, you need to have a clear advantage over everyone else. China will never have that over the US+Europe. And by the time the US and Europe seriously decline, China will start declining too.

China's leadership would be foolish to seek hegemony. It's just not feasible short of the US going into a civil war, and if you come at the king, you best not miss. Becoming a second king yourself instead of trying to take his place is much less risky and has most of the same rewards.

Another way to look at it is that China will never have the same advantage over the US as the US gained over the UK before taking the lead. The US passed the British in economy and population much before it became the hegemon. You need more than an advantage in prosperity.
