The internet itself is one commonly-used example of a "wild west" without protection and with prolific art nonetheless.

The incentive to continue wasting your life doing unprofitable concerts is not removed in a world where you can only profit via concerts. It simply changes to hoping for a future of profitable concerts, rather than hoping for a future of profitable record sales.

And while you may cling to one system becasue you like certain facets of it which might change, you also don't know what you are missing in a system without copyright. Policies always have a hidden cost.

Honest question - what about if you drink a ton of water? Does that "dilute" the effect that consuming too much of one thing has? I've never actually looked into it myself but I've always held that belief, perhaps falsely.

Netflix seems to simply become the next entertainment giant, like e.g. Disney or major film studios.

Apple will still have their hardware business.

Amazon's AWS business is unaffected by their online shopping platform business.

Facebook is facing a reputation crisis that is also causing regulators to come down on it hard, and beyond the many well-justified criticisms, many also use it as a scapegoat and a punching bag for politicians to show off. That's not a good position to be in.
Fundamentally, copyright is the government promising to beat up anyone that copies a protected work. Now, we don't live in a complete dystopia, so it's not literal beatings. It's legal protection and the beating up is the infringer of the copyright having to pay a bunch of money to the copyright holder. That means that the government is spending resources in order to maintain that copyright. Government is funded by "the people", and so "the people" are paying to beat up anyone who sells a Mickey Mouse doll.

In actuality, the reason it doesn't work like you'd expect is because "the people" are separate from "the government", and it doesn't actually cost much to maintain copyright. But there are a bunch of interested parties in getting to keep monopolies on copying for long periods of time.

But yeah, the reason they shouldn't last forever is because they are relatively expensive to maintain, and some great works can come from public domain stories (case in point, the lovable Mouse who used Grimm's fairy tales as the basis for all of it's most profitable works). Life of author? Definitely. But if the author assigns rights to a corporation? Probably shouldn't allow it to extend 200 years or whatever Disney is up to. Disney won't die, so there is no natural end to the monopoly, and Disney has also proven that they aren't interested in branching out to new stories (perhaps because us humans like the old ones so much).

A reasonable copyright in a digital age is probably something like life of the author, or 25 years after transfer to a corporation. This still effectively provides 75+ years of protection for most works, but then the author gets more say (because transfer of ownership can't happen without giving up monopoly rights sooner), and things like film and games and such aren't locked up for hundreds of years, as it would be surprising to have them owned by a human.
This happens on my BMW too (2011 3 series). I’ve also had traction/stability control activate when hitting a large bump due to the slight change in wheel speed as each wheel goes over it.
Jake, I get the argument. Fifty years of bad housing policy have yielded high housing prices today, high housing prices leads to homelessness, and homelessness leads to drug abuse. Fixing housing policy now will lead to lower housing prices, homelessness, and drug abuse in the future.

So we should fix housing policy. Ok.

That seems very reasonable and logical, except that no one seems to know how to actually make housing policy changes happen. You write a (interesting and informative) blog post about Proposition HHH, Matt Yglesias writes a blog post about 1950s boarding houses, PhDs at Zillow churn out peer-reviewed papers, and LA voters even throw $1,200,000,000 at Proposition HHH -- and yet the problem gets worse and worse.

You write that the "homelessness problem is intractable without zoning reform". Well, what if zoning reform is also intractable?

Focusing exclusively on fixing housing policy, which appears to be intractable for the foreseeable future, is a mistake. We should be focusing on drug abuse as well, which is a very serious problem in LA.

This is the perenial problem with all these poorly sourced "just asking questions" posts, in any topic (from covid misinformation to holocaust denial). By the time someone who actually knows their shit has a time to issue a proper response, the original wild speculation has already spread like fire on social media and landed in front of a bunch of eyeballs.

There are many things in the original article that raise red flags about how accurate it is (for example, barely even paying lip service to the non-lab-leak hypothesis, and using twitter as a primary source). Given that, I'm going to be less charitable about the questions it's asking.
That project has been in the works for many years now, and is no closer to seeing the light of day. Hulu's miniseries 'The Dropout', with Amanda Seyfried, debuts in March though.
Sugar, specifically the way we stuff all foods these days full of it, is the “root of all evil”. Healthcare costs, the obesity crisis (just because everyone is fat now doesn’t make it normal or healthy), lack of military readiness, sugar addiction, it’s all linked to sugar being extremely cheap and highly addictive which means every mass manufactured food is stuffed full of it.

I absolutely believe that sugar is the cigarette of our time. It’s just a lot harder to point out the deleterious effects on society. With cigarettes you can point to lung cancer and that’s all you need. Sugar causes varying harms, of varying degrees, so you can’t easily point to something to scare people, especially when obesity is normalized. On a societal level however, the price is clear.

Sugar must be regulated, taxed, and zero-calorie sweeteners encouraged as the default.

I've got a 1999 Powerbook G3 open that I'm making some music on right now. Some of the processes take a long time so I keep my X200 (13 years!) next to me as well to have something to do in between.

1999 isn't all of a quarter of a century, but there's a Quadra in the other room which will be 30 this year and also still sees some use.

It's not that the new stuff isn't nice, but I still haven't managed to exhaust the potential of stuff from 20 years ago for my music at least. So I can just stay off the upgrade cycle, which feels quite good.

For non-music, save for TLS, Hackernews could of course also work well on old hardware. Most websites you could also get the functionality, if not the exact experience. But alas, that's not the way the world went, and although a ten-year-old PC in 2022 is a lot more "current" than a 10-year-old PC was in 2012, it still seems like we will keep being dragged forwards by developers wanting more shiny things and hardware manufacturers who want to sell hardware.
>but rather that it is impossible to avoid a diet in western society that relies on high quantities of sugar as a lynchpin for mass produced food.

Is non-sweetened cereal hard to find in your supermarket or something?

>even the healthiest breads contain refined sugar to mask quality inherently absent from mass production.

I checked around on costco and it seems like their "Kirkland Signature Country French" contain 0g of added sugars per serving (I'm guessing slice?). To your point their regular "Multigrain Bread" contains 2g of added sugar per serving. In any case I doubt you're not getting diabetes from that.

There are good reasons for southern California to be more expensive than other parts of the country, and housing is too expensive. Both these things can be true! Housing is too expensive in Chicago, too, for that matter. My point is the 'affordable' places to live aren't necessarily all that affordable when you factor in all the other variables.
You're talking about inventors laboring a decade or two in obscurity. Not 95 years. By that time the money's been rolling in for three-quarters of a century, perhaps to the grandchildren, never having worked a day in their lives while others toil away for their benefit, simply because of a distant accident of birth. That's the cost of generational wealth. It persists because, by the rules of the money game, the current generation of workers is enslaved by the debt of wealth created in the past.

Having said that, I do agree it's unrealistic to assume that that truly democratic institutions would abolish long copyrights. I think that the majority of people who are invested in this issue imagine that they are just one bestselling book away, one hit song away, one TikTok meme away, from being wealthy creators. The idea that someone else might re-upload and unfairly profit from their own habanero sauce snorting video, that they worked so hard to perfect, is anathema to them.

While I do agree strongly with your points, I want to call out that it's definitely not impossible to avoid a sugary diet.

After watching "That Sugar Film" a few months ago I realised that all I really had to do was ignore 90% of the supermarket shelves.

Going shopping with that intent is a great way to discover just how deep your sugar addiction runs.

I think there is a huge difference between deciding to sign up on a huge host vs having to use the big host.

Mastodon maybe isn't the best example of this as IIUC you will get some visibility to other users on your host by default. But for example email you may choose to use GMail or Outlook because it takes no effort, but there is little downside to choosing another host.

Mice models don't attract many rights protesters, the way other animals would, even though they are just as sentient and intelligent as humans, dogs, cats, horses, and whales.

They are experts in iron, and processes, but they still would have a lot to learn, and it is unlikely they could ever do better than TMSC who isn't stupid about manufacturing. Maybe they could find something, but so can the others.

The commitment just to play is very large, it probably isn't worth it. Even if you had proof of this would happen in 2015 and so enough time to build I doubt any would build s fab (though they would buy chips to store)

Spotify's audio fidelity is quite good. It uses AAC or Vorbis at decent bitrates... depending on network connection, but on a reasonable connection, you're going to get something very near to transparent, if not completely transperent.

40 is also not so old, when you are talking about hearing acuity.

Meanwhile, you can see from frequency response curves, that high-end headphones might even be off by 5 dB in the high mids, something that should be audible even to 40-year-olds listening to Spotify over a congested network link.
In 2001 I was in the 3rd grade and neopets.com was the website everyone spent time on in the computer lab. I wanted to learn how to build a website and with some googling learned about Apache, PHP and MySQL. Shortly after I was trying to figure out why performance was bad. This is when I learned about the request-response loop, background task queues etc. I kind of grew out of PHP (it was missing some of the concepts found in other mature languages) and switched to Java. Looking back I’m happy to see PHP has matured as a language and ecosystem.

This only goes so far. Sometimes manufacturers add lactose to dairy products, or change the balance in favor of lactose, which doesn’t count as added sugars because it occurs naturally in the food. But it’s still sweeter than a comparable plain/unsweetened product if you look at sugar content.
Yeah those are nicely done. I like my own implementation, which overcomes the problem of limited width for the aside. In effect, its like unfolding a longer bit of the article.

Outside of portable material property, the idea of property rights as natural rights is pretty fanciful. Land ownership is a good example of a property right that was understood to be government-originated even in the system of English Common Law relied upon by the authors of the Constitution. At the time that the United States split from Great Britain it was understood that land ownership rested with the monarch, that land could at the discretion of the monarch be held in "freehold" by entities other than the monarch, but that the monarch retained certain rights on account of its fundamental ownership of all land, such as the power of eminent domain, or the fact that any property for which a freeholder could not be identifier would revert to the control of the crown. The authors of the Constitution understood that going forward such rights were held by the new federal government, or by the governments of the several States.

Moving away from land ownership, you get forms of property rights that are even harder to reconcile with the idea of natural rights. Mineral rights, shipping rights, air rights, spectrum rights, toll rights, salvage rights, etc. None of these things are meaningful absent the concept of a legal system enforced by a government.

I know it's a nitpick, but I've never heard of 120nm... lots of 130 some 110 (half-node) and lots of 90nm.

Most of the 8inch wafer supply (mostly >90nm) was no where near capacity before the pandemic and supply restrictions. China did buy up a lot of it (actually moving equipment) and perhaps those were closed down?

Much of the legacy 12inch supply was fairly constrained even before the pandemic (especially specialty 55 and 40nm) due to shifts in display driver needs for OLED. The relatively new 10 & 7nm were pretty well dedicated to known customers.

Much of Automotive is in the larger 180nm to 90nm range with some 28nm for SOC due to cost, reliability, and legacy test qualifications. Except for entertainment only Tesla really uses much smaller than 22nm. It's interesting that they seem to have been willing to use commodity processors much more, and that seems to have made their supply chain more resilient (at the prices they were willing to pay).

It's interesting because a lot of mixed-signal analog really doesn't shrink well 28nm, and requires a lot of redesign to be cheaper than 180nm. There are ways to get down to 14nm and below, but the design costs require huge economies of scale to pay off.

The last couple of years in Semi really has been a game of how much are you willing to pay for the old backlog of parts that were hard to sell earlier. Only now are some new designs really making it out a year later. It's supply chain, but it's also price gouging and just taking profits while you can (why build more when margins will only plummet?). I do worry about the risks of concentration of this production in China.
Someone in my neighborhood wore a Theranos sweatshirt while jogging last year, I made up a story in my head that it was in solidarity with Ms. Holmes. If I'm right, I assume she wouldn't be willing to part with it.
People move to these coastal cities because they're vibrant economic centres. They are looking to improve their situation so they go to places where the jobs are, just like anyone else. The same thing that attracts SF tech workers.

Then misfortunes happen, they lose their job, they lose their health, they lose their apartment etc etc.

Now they're stuck.

They don't move to cheaper areas of the country because 1) there are real costs to moving (money they don't have) and 2) the economic prospects in the cheaper part of the country are worse.
