In fact now that I think about it the only jokes I’ve heard about the opioid crisis have basically amounted to “lol white people are dying and they deserve it” despite the fact that this shit is killing everyone. So-called journalists have written about it with the same sentiment — white people didn’t have compassion during the crack epidemic and they don’t deserve any now.

That’s a pretty good example of popular media using racial antagonism to divide & conquer the working class.
>But, devil’s advocate, I haven’t heard a super convincing argument as to why something I make should ever revert to public domain, especially while I’m alive.

Because you've got it backwards, you have no inherent right to any intellectual property you create, it's a legal fiction. Before copyright was a thing, freely copying and remixing the ideas and stories of others was the default. Once an idea is out there, you have no moral right to tell others they cannot share it.

Copyright is an attempt to give an incentive to people to come up with more good ideas and stories and music, but the default is that they belong to everyone.
Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.

I had some misconceptions around how versitile auto manufacturers are. I'd sort of assumed they'd be very good at turning a low volume, low quality process into a high volume, high quality process. I'd also sort of assumed they'd have a ton of resources on hand, like space and power, the and the ability to build a lot of the required infrastructure.

I suppose they are far far more specialized and reallocating resources like that is the kind of thing you'd have to do right away, make a big commitment, that's basically pointless.
What are the long term consequences of investing in real state? Sure, you will have some who can't afford to own, but for those who can, aren't they growing the economy?

Think about the externalities, the fed prints money whenever the economy is in trouble and needs help (ex: recession, pandemic), this money is to be well invested for growth (real state, stocks, etc.): this injection/debt engenders more jobs, construction, population and demand growth. As long as this last part is done right [more money supply = more production] the economy will be kept healthy.

The problem arises when the above equation does not balance out- ex: Argentina, Greece, Turkey, etc. (i.e. crypto arguments), when people and governments do not produce to justify that investment (aka corruption and stealing).

Money's purpose is to be used for growth, so unlike the popular view of "inflating fiat steals your money", I don't think people understand money's purpose in the 1st place.

Except for artificially supply restricted markets (ex: single family zoning in California [recently abolished] or money laundering on empty homes in Canada, UK & Australia), mortgages are not intrinsically toxic.
Sharing my funny story...
Honestly, it’s not a moral high ground. You’re working three jobs—probably 40-50hrs a week at least—more time than you’re getting to spend on your hobbies or your family. Why not do one of those jobs, twice as well, in half the hours, and spend the extra time with your family and hobbies. You’ll be happier. I promise.
Food in general was more expensive before the Green Revolution, back when food usually was organic and came from small farms.

Here's a 1922 document showing American retail prices of food from 1913 to 1920:

https://fraser.stlouisfed.org/files/docs/publications/bls/bl...

Take a look at eggs, for example (page 21 as numbered in scans, 27 in the PDF). In 1920 egg prices fluctuated between $0.528 and $0.924 per dozen. Adjusting that price by consumer price index, it's something like $7.02 to $12.29 per dozen in current dollars. Back then people were forced to produce their own food, spend a larger portion of their income on food, or simply go without. Poverty that would force someone to eat cheap eggs now would force them to eat no eggs back then.

Maybe if I was in computer vision then I’d use some of these algos more often. But those usually require a special masters or PhD to get an interview anyway. So, not really applicable to the overall industry tbh.
They actually still offer the DVD service which has a much broader selection (basically any and all new releases just like RedBox plus a lot of stuff from the past 20-30+ years) but it's basically a stand-alone service now that costs between 7.99 - 14.99/month depending on how many simaltaneous DVDs you want to have out and the format (DVD vs Blu-ray)

AFAIK the European model is not as similar as you seem to be convinced. And the origin of copyright was from the beginning related not to the well-being of authors but rather publishers.
That logic doesn't work either. Companies that extract profits from IPR provide most of the foundation for financially compensating authors. Almost all of those businesses work on the same portfolio logic as startup investors do: most investments will fail, and the hits subsidize the investments in the duds. You don't know which is which up front. What you do to reduce profits on the hits will come out of the pockets of all authors, not just the superstars.
Yup, but make sure they can sell the product, not sell you.

Also, never give up control of the finances - abdicating that responsibility means you will probably get screwed. You need to be technical about ensuring your efforts are not stolen.
Will the cloud business eat the 5G telecoms industry?
Big Ag in this case is meat packing. Perhaps you're referring to the largest cattle ranches as well? Demonstrably, profits are going only to the middle men while farmers margins are squeezing to 0 driving them out of business... that will eventually raise actual supply prices once only the largest few "most efficient" ranchers left, but then those prices will be entirely passed on to consumers not the processors/middle men.

So supply prices rise as production falls... to the monopoly maximum marginal profit extracted from the consumer, just as predicted!
> are all protections still in place when taking an external command

Diagnostic-specific commands are often restricted when the vehicle is in motion. On VW I remember that any "write" command such as an actuator test being declined even for "innocent" stuff such as lights or power windows on the body control module.
You can do that. Just keep it to yourself!
I can't remember where I initially read it, but it's mentioned on both https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_prisoners_of_war_in_W... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_in_Japan_during_the... and presumably in the associated citations.

Can I ask where your disbelief is sourced?
Both technically true statements (though I think you mean Iceland), but presented in a completely misleading way. Yes, breakthrough infections exist and nothing is 100%; you should still get the vaccine, obviously. Yes, when the population is highly vaccinated, a lot of infections will be in the vaccinated; that's just how denominators work.
This is a perfect example of when the law shouldn’t be so far behind the tech.
i recommend Kotlin or Java, JVM and Gradle.

personally i find it very easy to make apps for the JVM in Kotlin. IntelliJ support for Java and Kotlin is the best IDE support for any language ever - creating a project, debugging, running tests, refactoring, etc. are seamless. Gradle packages are usually very good quality (although log4shell did originate there). The JVM is fast and reliable, and IME it’s much easier to track down exceptions than C-based apps or JavaScript. The JVM runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, and Android (though not iOS or web).

The main downsides of the JVM are that “native” or neat-looking UI is a lot harder than Electron, your apps will probably have the distinctive Swing style. Moreover, the JVM itself is not lightweight (I think it’s about 150MB), and you have to either include the JVM in your executable or download it on client machines.

A less restrictive copyright regime (shorter terms) would enable a larger number of derivative works to be created sooner (likely when these derivative works are more culturally relevant, too).

Would fewer "primary" works be created-- maybe? (I tend to believe that almost all human expression is derivative by nature, though. There are few new ideas under the sun.)

Would more derivative works be created? Almost assuredly. There are always more "other people" to build on an earlier work that the lone creator of the work upon which derivative works are based.

I'd bet less restrictive copyright terms result in a net larger number of works.

Fewer works that require fantastic financial investment would be created under a weakened copyright regime. I still believe more works, overall, would be created.
Yeah, the thing is consumers don't care. They'll watch the content that's available. And as time goes on, that's what they'll know, what their kids grew up watching, and what they'll look for. The stuff that wasn't available they're not going to care about.

You can't convince me that, say, Warner Bros doesn't have sufficient leverage to wrest their online streaming rights away from some Bulgarian movie theater chain or whatever. I mean, come on.
> Although colonialism itself is the "original sin", the sudden abdication of all responsibility is almost worse, at least in the case of relatively mildly oppressive colonial systems.

As another person born in a former British colony (often referred to as the The Jewel in the Crown), I essentially have the same conclusion in a different subthread. [1]

> But it is what the locals wanted in the 1960s, by all accounts. In fact, they worked to scuttle efforts to have more gradual transitions, because they wanted independence now.

This is true, but the impression I get [2] is that the British were also more than happy to have an abrupt transition, because it was becoming rapidly economically infeasible for them to bear the costs of maintaining the Empire after 1945.

Could a higher capacity battery help?
Is it possible that freshness and lack of freezing are the cause of any difference. (Also I assume local farms do not artificially plump chicken with fluids)
Last things first:

UFCS fits perfectly with C++ culturally. In particular UFCS means when Library A provides a function that says it can twiddle a foozle, Library B that provides foozles and explicitly doesn't want you twiddling them can't stop anybody calling foozle.twiddle() and C++ says as a programmer the resulting mess lands in your lap.

> Except then it wouldn't be C++, but another language - which is fine.

Hogwash. It's C++ if they say it's C++.

When I first wrote some C++ I could write:

auto foo = something();

That was a very strange way to say "int foo" because auto meant automatic (ie local) storage and the default type was int. But it was legal C++ when I was a teenager.

But, today if I write:

auto foo = something();

That's a variable whose type will be chosen automatically (C++ auto is not merely inference and will choose something even when it isn't clear what you meant).

That was not another language, it was still C++ it was merely changed in an important way. In C++ 20 and particularly in the decision to not take Epochs, they decided C++ must never again be changed.

> They have made it so that you can steer clear of unsafe and complex territory for a lot more things.

No. Putting a little wooden fence along the crumbling edges of a fast mountain road and saying "Now it's safer" is almost worse than not bothering. It is concerning that this fools people.

Real safety looks quite different, consider my misfortunate::Maxwell type in Rust. The Rust traits this implements are definitively safe. If you try to store a bunch of Maxwells in a Hashset things won't go well for you since Maxwells aren't Equal (even to themselves) and yet they all Hash the same. But whereas in C++ such things get you Undefined Behaviour and all bets are off, in Rust we have safety and so the behaviour may be useless (e.g. infinite loop) but it is never Undefined. Our program is wrong but because it's safe we can successfully reason about why it doesn't work.

This is why I am very hyped on Brave search's goggles feature , it will let you share exclude / include site lists to use w/ the search engine. Hopefully it will empower these niche communities to curate a list of non-spam sites ( like the ad-blockers do with ads today )
Outside of your innate right to split someone's skull open with the nearest tree branch and take the freshly killed squirrel out of their dead hands, pretty much all rights are legal fictions. You have to do better in your argument than to point out that the balancing acts we do in our laws are artificial.

What we're discussing here is a right that's been baked into American law since its creation; it's not a random idea Sonny Bono had in 1997.
We're not talking about Donald Trump.
True but we should also not grant taxpayer funded enforcement for billionaires and their perpetual billionaire offspring. 2 years of enforcement is good, drugs only get 17 years, Hollywood has gotten obscene in the low effort / no work wealth it creates.
GDPR is not enforced enough and it's very hard to get it enforced. Data protection authorities are completely useless at handling complaints from my experience.
Why do you say that? What specifically in the guidelines are you referring to?
If I published my own copy of a public domain work I'm not diverting the income stream away from the original creator's estate. Yes I'd be taking some income from it, but the descendants of the author are equally able to do the same. Framing it as of I'd be totally diverting income from the creator is disingenuous.

Besides, I'd still be providing value by taking the time to publish the work and provide it to customers.
Examples? I haven't mostly seen them although I do subscribe. I could name at least two shows on Apple TV+ (which is rarely discussed) that I consider better than anything on Netflix of late. (For All Mankind and The Morning Show)
Who's going to host all the decentralized censorship free videos without ads? Where does my 70 year old mother go to send me a crypto-blockchain message?
To add to this, given the resources spent on it their UX is pretty bad and I don't think their data scientists are giving them much if any edge over the competition at this point.

Features such as only using company generated ratings, aggressively cancelling shows, and the lack of ability to browse/sort/filter the catalog, in favor of Netflix pushing the recommendations they choose on users, is probably great for quarterly KPIs but bad for long term customer satisfaction.

Netflix is of course already a behemoth and not going anywhere but I expect their future to be much more of a generic media company than an elite tech company.
Indeed not, but I like that plan a lot nonetheless! :-)
> who is really harmed when the author of a book retains the rights in perpetuity?

Anyone that wants to make (or accidentally makes) derivative works based on that work. This is especially apparent in the music industry.

Write a story about a prince waking a princess with a kiss an you run the very real risk of getting sued into oblivion by Disney.

We, the public, lose out on creative works because creative folk have to be VERY careful with how they approach art to try and minimize their exposure to lawsuits.

Very similar to the harm done by software patents.
What I find difficult to believe is that he set out on the journey with a 2CV. Of course he broke it. It's a good car, but it's not a jeep.

The truth is clear when it costs more but is is objectively worse, yet sells anyway.

The most characteristic Apple customer experience is persuading themselves that they can learn to live without the feature deleted in the latest software update.

Because it's taxpayer funded enforcement. The walmart employee funds the guards around George Lucas and kim kardashian's castles.
Yes that can definitely happen so you'll need to be careful about that. For some areas or houses, you can show your bank statements rather than income, but not all places accept those.
From the article:

In the next few months Dish Networks, a firm best known for its satellite-television service, is expected to launch America’s fourth big carrier.

Dish’s network is to be the first in America that would live almost entirely in a computing cloud. Except for antennas and cables, it is mostly a cluster of code that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the e-commerce giant’s cloud-computing arm. As such, the roll-out is a test of the extent to which computing clouds will “eat” the telecoms industry.
true, and that helped the economy somewhat (money send back) - but also slowed progress because of the brain drain. My point was not that EU didn't help Romania, it obviously did. The largest factor was not the cash though.
Perhaps not in the American West - I could be wrong - but certainly so in the European West.
Yeah, I didn't get specific furnace models out of the articles. I was trying to decide between single-stage, two-stage, and many-stage designs. It turns out that the installers' claims about efficiency are bogus. Once you realize that you need the same number of BTUs regardless about how they're distributed, it's obvious. It's true that it might be more pleasant to have a little heat and a low fan constantly, rather than a blast periodically. In my opinion that's not worth the difference in upfront cost, increased maintenance cost, and reduced reliability.

So we agree: reducing incentives on the creation of new primary works will reduce the number of primary works created, because people respond to incentives.

You hope to offset that by enabling the commercialization of fan fiction. I am less hopeful about that proposal, but at least it's a coherent proposal.

It's a small thing, but turning my screen to greyscale reduced my daily screen time by 25% and didn't impact any functionality. It just makes it slightly less interesting to use.
To address your issue, we can simply accept that certain information cannot ever be available day and date. The best results I've ever got from Google is by doing

> site:reddit.com <QUERY>

If I want to know about headphones, or TVs, I'll find better answers in the sidebar than anywhere else on the Internet. But, I will not be able to find those quality answers until a reasonable period of time has passed where products can be tried and reviewed by real people.

The issue is the immediacy. We want answers now, but we won't ever have them until later. This requires a cultural shift in consumerism that companies will not like: "Wait and see."

The same problem happens for people pre-ordering video games that end up releasing in a state of complete trash. You can only get reliable information once the early adopters have tested it. If you are an early adopter, you are shit out of luck, but you are doing the rest of us a service that we appreciate greatly.

Headwinds for sure (Disney, Amazon, Apple!) but they seem to have made the right calls so far.
The issue is companies are going to keep reusing stale properties for decades. That’s the issue, creating new works is what keeps things vibrant not rehashing what was popular 40+ years ago.

StarWars is 45 years old, Star Trek is 56 years old, and Iron Man is 59 freaking years old at this point. We don’t need to rehash stale stories, but nobody is going to innovate when a ready cash cow is there for the milking.
