Copyright is something that is granted by the general public because as a whole everybody benefits from new works. This has been subverted in Europe, in that artists are entitled to have control over their works in ways other people don't. For example, an engineer has no control over an object after it has been sold. Nor do the heirs of an engineer get royalties if an object becomes rare an later gets sold for a lot of money.

Currently, too many works are effectively lost because it is unclear who has the copyright, or the rights are spread over too many people that effective negotiation of a new contract is impossible. There are also plenty of works that people consider part of their culture, where the rights are held privately. Famous cases in Europe are the Atomium in Belgium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomium) or the Little Mermade in Denmark (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_(statue))

The most simple way to fix the current system to limit copyright terms to 20 years.

There is no need for a copyright system where the heirs of a artist makes more money than the artist themselves.

And as a business, if to can't make a good return on an investment within 20 years, then it is time to do something else.

This is quite normal in big companies and it doesn’t just apply to building stuff, buying stuff has the same problem. Managers will propose a certain product vendor and after roll out will continue to support it, no matter the consequences. We had to use a terrible “data virtualizzation” tool for 2 years because IT “leaders” had bought into it and now would not admit their mistake.
The point made in other threads is that it's way cheaper to just pay token amounts when security breaches happen, rather than pay market rates. They don't want expensive talent.
"deadly" is not the same statement as "as deadly".
In order for this to occur, there needs to be a selection pressure. It doesn't just magically happen.

If I want to have a great experience, I need a great TV (and sound system, connection etc) - that much is on me.

If I want to see and hear what is happening in the movie/TV show, that should just be guaranteed for the home release of the movie/TV show for any kind of popular TV/sound system - this is on the film.

The gaming industry, for all its faults, has this right. Any game has some recommended system requirements, and as long as your machine meets these, it's the game's fault if it's not working well. No one will say "X is stuttering at low graphical settings on my system" "obviously, you need to buy the best GPU money can buy if you want to enjoy that game".

Of course, the way to achieve this is to give consumers the ability to trade off visual (and audio) fidelity for usability on the system they have. Apparently Hollywood is entirely allergic to this idea.
It's not surprising, Microsoft seemed to abandon it at birth. If Microsoft can't be bothered then why should anybody else.

I have a PiHole. How do I configure DoH?
Yes, starting with CPUs circa 2014. You need CONFIG_DRM_I915_GVT from Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> Intel 8xx/9xx/G3x/G4x/HD Graphics -> Enable Intel GVT-g graphics virtualization host support.

There are a fixed number of partitions and a specific setup you need to do with /sys nodes, refer to the manual. Considering this and that support only became possible some time after 2014 it's worth realizing it does not work like normal VFIO passthrough. Why? No idea, seems like an oversight. Need to stop providing lying interfaces to users.

> I mean, think about it. If you “unlock” the ability to use multiple monitors at once without getting distracted, “it’s free real estate”

If the distraction problem isn’t from size but strictly—as was described—from multiple monitors, this isn’t true; multiple monitors are cheaper than single monitors for a given total area and pixel density, but its possible to get one large (ideally curved) monitor that has the real estate of multiple lesser monitors. I found going going from twin 23” 16:9 monitors FHD monitors to a single curved 34” 3440x1440 monitor a reduction in distraction, as well as increase in real estate.

Multiple monitors are a distraction, IME, because of discontinuities (all of gaps between them, discontinuity in viewing angle, and, if they aren’t identical devices in pristine condition with identical settings, differences in display quality, whether its color/brightness/contrast/etc.)

> Is COVID going to continuously mutate worse and worse forever?

Evolution does not have objectives like "let's make an eye" or "let's get worse". Organisms mutate and either thrive and reproduce (with mutations) or die off over time.

Because of this, I think the answer to your question is: There is no way to know.

There might be epidemiologists or researchers on HN who could offer a different perspective. I am sure there are other mechanisms at play. There's also understanding the statistical behavior of mass infections.

For me the experienced quality of Google search results gave have dropped massively since 2008, despite (and maybe even because of) all their new parameters.

When someone says this someone else usually immediately says it is because of web spam and black hat SEO.

But black hat SEO doesn't explain why verbatim doesn't work for many of us.

Black hat SEO doesn't explain why double quotes doesn't work.

Black hat SEO doesn't explain why there is no personal blacklists so all those who hate pintrest can blacklist them.

Black hat SEO probably also doesn't explain why I cannot find a unique strings in open source repos and instead get pages of not exactly webspam but answers to questions I didn't ask.
It seems like the world today operates mostly on technology that is replaced every 3 years, so nothing new ever becomes a standard. It's so wonderful when I need to interface with a standard internet protocol and it works the same way it used to.

Last year my company decided to move one of its public services to a new hosted vendor and change their domains entirely. This would involve (among other things) changing the domain that customers were using and changing live traffic to point from one vendor to another. Of course nobody budgeted for any downtime, and the system was so little-known that it would have taken forever to figure out what all would be affected by a maintenance window. A less experienced engineer might consider this trivial; just change the DNS records and flip from one live system to another. Easy, right?

Luckily, something like 15 years before, I had managed (among other things) DNS records for a large internet site. Because we were essentially hand-crafting Bind zone files and making all sorts of weird changes to tons of records, I learned all about the DNS ecosystem. I learned about all the different layers of the stack, all the different forms of caching, the common problems (UDP vs TCP, EDNS0, firewalls, Apex record limitations, negative cache, ignored TTL), spam features, service identifiers, XFERs, and the fact that there's a dozen different RFCs all laid on top of each other to form "the DNS protocol".

Keeping in mind all the potential problems, I was able to plan our migration steps thoroughly enough for the 144-hour-long change window. I knew to prepare my SOA, NS, A & CNAME changes, verify the records on the nameservers (and from client devices) pre-change, wait 2 days after changing the TTL limit, verify with resolvers around the world to confirm everything was picked up, and validate on each device that the change worked correctly. The process worked beautifully and the customers never noticed a thing. And if there had been a problem, my changes would have resulted in no more than about 60 seconds downtime.

What struck me at the end wasn't how much bizarrely complex and deep knowledge was required just to make the switch-over successful. It was that I had learned everything I needed to know 15 years before, and all that technical knowledge remained the same. I think that's only happened one or two other times in my career (one related to TCP weirdness, another related to C programming)

Thank you for the civil answer. I found enough in it to agree with and upvote.

> That argument, for what it’s worth, has been trotted out to justify everything ...

It may be a tired argument, but it doesn't make it false. Sometimes people really do have deep convictions they cannot be rationalized from. Looks like I do, and I'm not happy about it. Only it was never a problem before covid. I was brought up in the spirit of never asking for help or claiming any deficiency until you absolutely, positively, completely unable to handle the situation on your own. Also you must be sure that who you ask is able and willing to provide such help. I thought society progressed enough to tolerate conscientious objection of sorts. Turns out I was wrong. I struggled to keep up and cried for help, first time in my life - and received a good lesson to never ask for compassion again.

> Personal choices have impacts.

They certainly do. I just disagree that it is purely personal. The other side absolves itself from any consequences of the choice pushed upon individual, while being very happy to trump on them if the "natural" impact of "inferior" choice is not bad enough.

> people have been so pushed around by these horrible, unreasonable asks

I haven't said that. Some may very well be reasonable, but it is very hard to see in the pile of punitive-only measures.

Well, at least I have tried to explain how some people, myself included, see and feel in the situation. I'm getting more hints of my inability to communicate this, and nobody in a position to influence the measures gives any consideration to it. This is why I stand with my belief that the side-effect of "where almost everyone is vaccinated" will be not what these people are expecting, in a cruel and unusual way.

People are still dying at a rate of about a thousand a day due to Covid in the U.S.. The vast majority of those people are unvaccinated, but still a death is a death, and a thousand deaths a day is definitely newsworthy even if (or even especially if) it was avoidable.

Precisely. Simultaneously believing that you are free to do with your own body as you like, whilst also inflicting upon others a forced medical procedure in the name of the "greater good"
The latter bit was my question as well; I expected the article to share that, but no dice.

Motivation... I expect it's just another bullshit "law and order" law-enforcement power grab, thinly disguised as a "safety requirement".
The number of ICU beds may have been inflated. At the start of the pandemic, hospitals had to report available ICU beds, and they received money for the number of beds they reported. I know of two hospitals that reported all of their beds (the physical objects) when the intention of the law / regulation was to have only those beds reported that could be operated / staffed.

> Virus wants its host to be alive and well

A virus doesn't want anything. It just exists and, if the environment is amenable, reproduces with mutations.
So who added it? This bill was debated and fought over for months. Where did this come from?
Problem with this is that bed rationing is seen by many as unethical. Plus there are gray zones, you're putting young people in horrible moral conundrums on a day to day basis.
Right now, regarding CPUs we have:

- AMD

- Apple

- Qualcomm

Any of them is pushing the enveloppe in some way or form, I’d argue they are “cutting-edge”
There have never been a real shortage of ICU beds even in the worst days of Covid. Check stats, now situation is even better.

What other companies never seem to understand about "Google's 20% time" is that, allegedly, as I don't work there, it wasn't really 8 hours out of your contracted 40 hours, but more like 16 hours out of the 80 hours you chose to work this week for most Googlers. People working on things in 20% time are volunteers in the sense that they're doing extra work voluntarily, rather than going home. It's not like they're doing this stuff during "work hours."

Not really pass through, no. If CONFIG_DRM_I915_GVT is enabled in your kernel, you can use Intel's graphics virtualization system... basically a virtio style virtual device that shares the GPU between VM and host. IMO this is way more convenient than real passthrough, where the device is only available either to the VM or the host. The downside is that you don't get full performance in the VM.

"Intel GVT-g is a full GPU virtualization solution with mediated pass-through (VFIO mediated device framework based), starting from 5th generation Intel Core(TM) processors with Intel Graphics processors. GVT-g supports both Xen and KVM (a.k.a XenGT & a.k.a KVMGT). A virtual GPU instance is maintained for each VM, with part of performance critical resources directly assigned. The capability of running native graphics driver inside a VM, without hypervisor intervention in performance critical paths, achieves a good balance among performance, feature, and sharing capability."

Honestly I gave it a good search on that site and could not find anything to what you claim. What I did find right away on the opening page was this as follows

"These five treaties deal with issues such as the non-appropriation of outer space by any one country, arms control, the freedom of exploration, liability for damage caused by space objects, the safety and rescue of spacecraft and astronauts, the prevention of harmful interference with space activities and the environment, the notification and registration of space activities, scientific investigation and the exploitation of natural resources in outer space and the settlement of disputes.

Each of the treaties stresses the notion that outer space, the activities carried out in outer space and whatever benefits might be accrued from outer space should be devoted to enhancing the well-being of all countries and humankind, with an emphasis on promoting international cooperation."

To me that last part is what I notice. Should be devoted to enhancing the well being of all countries and humankind, with emphasis on promoting international cooperation. So how would spying do any of that? It is more likely to get the other country angry and not cooperate. If there is relevant text that shows spying is actually legal please do show it, I am not saying you are incorrect but I am having a hard time verifying your claim. Do you have a direct source that spells it out? Again, thanks.
