I'm going to point out a recent example of what happens when culture is not strangled by a single controlling entity: Baby Shark.

Even if it drives you insane, you have to appreciate the cultural phenomenon of Baby Shark. There are hundreds of different interpretations, in different languages and wildly different styles. I've heard jazzy versions, halloween versions, pirate versions... practically anything you can imagine. And kids love it.

None of this could have happened if somebody "owned" Baby Shark. It's essentially open source culture. Most folk culture is just like this.

I personally would love to see other interpretations of Star Wars. Lucas has certainly been a terrible steward, turning it into a children's cartoon.

Are you Robert Jordan or J.K. Rowling?

The large majority of people who write novels don't get any money for it and have no such expectations.
If a doctor doesn't find any immediate causal link between chest pain and vaccination, or if the tests performed in hospital look normal, which is typically troponin, ECG and chest xray, then the patient is often dismissed and told to rest and then subsequently follow up with a cardiologist if the pain doesn't improve.

The inflammation may not be acute enough for a definitive diagnosis of myocarditis.

Go to a cardiologist and have a CT and MRI for a thorough diagnosis.

Do not dismiss chest pain

I would be okay with a fixed term allowing a short time for estates to profit, in the event someone created a work shortly before their death. I think the primary purpose should be to provide for the author, not their heirs, but I can understand how an author would feel like their effort were wasted if they died shortly after. Maybe something like a minimum term of ten years, with the ability to renew it during your life up to fifty years or so.

But that is what Netflix was supposed to be able to avoid because they know so much about the viewing habits of their users. More likely it turns out that knowing that doesn't help them create new content and they just need exclusive titles to draw people like all of the other studios.

If the Netflix recommendation engine is the result of any data science then obviously they have no special knowledge from their mountain of data because the engine is worthless.
I really don't see how one could look at CBCs news coverage and feel that way. It's the propaganda arm of the Liberal party, plain and simple. The "childish" take would be really believing that CBC is anything but a liberal mouthpiece. All mainstream Canadian news organizations are garbage, I don't mean to say there is a better alternative, but our tax money only pays for one of them.
Deep topsoil takes a long time to build. Generations. Centuries.

Like the Midwestern US with buffalo herds moving about and fire for thousands of years. Or old fields that have been properly manured and cultivated for generations.

But an improvement, however small, is still an improvement.
The original is strongly 'green & teal' tinted, as you can see in the first video.

According to this in-depth video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEdgmNZnLs4, both the theater release and the first DVD version had way more green than the BR ones (see 5:45).

> You have a fair point that African countries have more diversity than Singapore

I don't say anything about African countries in my comment, that must be from upthread.

But I would think that most African countries are also at a scale different from Singapore's; enough to just make Singaporean solutions unworkable. This does not mean that it's a bad thing, just different. If one were to press the point, I'd say that scaling anything up is just harder – this applies to nation states just as it does to websites.

> India and Bangladesh were colonies as well, but they are quite a bit more functional than your typical African country.

I am not entirely sure this is true if you consider the rural parts. Rural India (with 65% of the population) has more in common with most African countries than it does with anywhere in the West. A large part of this is due to the fact that the British never had any interest in settling there in large numbers; and consequently never invested significant efforts into building infrastructure for the rural parts. They preferred to strike deals with existing power structures that allowed them to profiteer off the land. I could reasonably see African countries having similar problems given their relatively low population density in the 19th and 20th centuries.
> There's no obvious moral reason that copyright should be in any way tied to the lifespan of the author.

A dead author can't create new works. Their copyright persisting beyond their death prevents derivative works from being created. Copyright after death forestalls the creation of new derivative works.

Is that "worth" eliminating the "copyright-after-death" bargain? I don't know. I tend to think opening up a world of potential derivative works after the death of an author is a good gamble if the desired outcome is more works.

Curtailing copyright after death would have to be handled in a nuanced process because some people certainly have "banked on" that business model.

Doesn't that happen in Hawaii today? I think a lot of land is leased for a long period, and ultimately reverts back to the real owners.
I don't necessarily think something is bad just because it belongs to one political side or another. Good and bad ideas exist on both sides of the aisle and the proportion of good to bad is always in flux.

I'm not convinced of those arguments. However, assuming I'm being charitable (which I will try to be to my utmost) and take these to be true, it's quite possible the right is correct when it comes to the worst excesses of "wokeism". Nothing about "they pick extreme examples" or "they foment a sense of grievances" means they are incorrect. Even if the problem is overstated, I still see it as a problem.
I don't know, but I can't help but notice that your examples of colonies considered long-term beneficial are all British, and, obviously, Africa was not colonized exclusively by the British. It wasn't the British who, in the 20th century, chopped off the hands and castrated rubber farmers who couldn't make their quotas.

For that matter, India gained independence in 1947; Singapore in 1959. Africa was colonized into the 1970s.
unless omikron spread to vaccinated people preferably , or if vaccination rates increase a lot between delta and omikron, the fact that the increase in omikron cases doesn't produce an increase in hospital ICU prooves it's also not as lethal to non-vax
What I don’t understand: There are two ways to get empties out of a port: On a truck or on a ship.

And it seems that root cause is ships bring more containers than they take with them.

So maybe, part of the solution could be a mandate of ships to take an amount of empties?
There are plenty of characters that aren't still under copyright. Sherlock Holmes, Norse and Greek Mythological heroes, Winnie the Pooh (now), most of the fairy tale stories (which Disney used early on) and a huge number of other characters and stories. You are focusing on the small number of popular franchises that are popular because people are creating new content instead of the huge number of stories that are there just waiting for someone to make a movie, video game, etc.
> It is steeped in symbolism, deep metaphysics and calm, meditative, photography. All attributes that have been essentially banned from the fast food production/consumption chain that has conditioned audiences.

Whoa... this is a bold claim. I can think of western films that use techniques like this: 2001: A Space Odyssey, Thin Red Line, Breathless, anything by Bergman, and The Royal Tenenbaums, for example, and many more that employ some of those traits. Additionally, implicit in the suggestion that not having those things somehow makes it "fast food production" (and thus of low quality), is rather unfair to the many western and non-western artists who have honed they're storytelling craft in a variety of styles. I love Tarkovsky and Solaris remains one of my favorite films, but I also like suspense films like Alien or action movies like Enter the Dragon, and many others which are frenetic, scary, fun or exciting.
AAS is a nonprofit society, though, so while there may be some cross-subsidy of other activities those page charges must reflect to some degree the actual costs to maintain the journal.

My own guess is that the CRUD apps used to host the articles are bespoke enough to be priced more like consulting-ware than commodity software, and the market is too small to attract cheaper entrants.

Journals without page charges simply pass those costs on to readers (or their libraries), which slows scientific progress.
Re software: While not necessarily fundamentally anti-copyright, the basic point of "copyleft" licensing like the GPL is to use the system of copyright against itself. I can't imagine the FSF/GNU project would be against a massive reduction of the extent of copyright limits. If there was no concept of copyright, copyleft would be somewhat moot.
This is true of the works of HP Lovecraft. They get made and remade all the time, plus there's a lot of merch that goes with it. I have a "Miskatonic University" tee shirt that I rather like.

Many medicines have multiple uses that are not at all related. For example, Botox is used for stretching old skin to look nice but also used to treat migraines. Ketamine is horse tranquilizer but is also used to treat depression, etc
The opposite is easy to imagine: We would not have Shakespeare with modern intellectual property protection.
More control on the machine. For example you may want to use certain CPU instructions, or as you mentioned you can eliminate a lot of overhead in certain cases.

Look at it like melting your own metal piece. Sometimes the screws that you find in the shop are not the exact shape you need and it's better to build your own.

I bet most of the things you code with Nasm are not entire binaries. You can write functions entirely in assembly and link the compiled outputs to any binary file once you know the calling convention
You can use ublock origin to blacklist domains from your search results. I do this for example with codegrepper and other sites who just copy paste Stack Overflow comments in a less readable format.
> Maybe there's a recessive gene that causes some tone difference. Maybe there's some historical war that caused the blahblahblah migration of the whoseits to the whatsits.

I'm not saying the black character is supposed to explain why they're black. I'm saying the writers should have written some reason into the story for why out of all the Nilfgaardians, Fringilla is the only one that's black. The black character doesn't need to be the one explaining it. Otherwise it seems like a poor casting choice because it doesn't make sense within the story. Which makes it seem shoehorned.

> Maybe there's some historical war that caused the blahblahblah migration of the whoseits to the whatsits

And that would have been great backstory to flesh out the universe...

> It sounds like you have some real hangups about race that just isn't shared by the writers.

It sounds like you don't feel like one character that has a different ethnicity than their entire fantasy race seems out of place. If in Black Panther there was a singular white main character and everyone else in Wakanda was black would you feel the same way?

Disney would have made much less off Star Wars if it were in the public domain.
> Is there anyone who believes that copyright lengths have been decided by some kind of balanced process between equal parties that carefully looked at the economic interests and societal interests or is it just monopolists like Disney buying longer strangleholds on culture to make money?

What's funny is that many people who say this kind of stuff about copyright thinks it makes copyright special and distinct from the rest of the capitalist model of property rights.
In my opinion, you only get “the overexcited storm of nonsense from Twitter” if the accounts you follow are so inclined. The great experience to be had is in a careful selection of you follow. An example: As a physician I have been following a varied group of epidemiologists, virologists, and clinicians with intimate knowledge of COVID. Some of them reporting findings from their own lab in real time. This same principle applies to quite a vast number of other disciplines that although may not be near your area of expertise, you can still peek on stimulating links and discussions by those who are in those fields. I don’t know of any other platform where such vibrant discussions take place outside of conferences.
Both can coexist.

Consider that Greek mythology or Irish fairy stories are basically different stories in the same "cinematic universe."

But... that universe isn't a monopoly. Many authors contributed. Stories were tailored to different audiences.

The cliche blockbuster remakes are corny because they are, but the concept of remakes, universes and sequels isn't bad.

USA is the driving force behind all of these copyright treaties. Given Canada’s role in abandoning the copyright part of TPP… I suspect most regimes would change to ones where they pay less American companies and earn more taxes themselves.
> The milk is super creamy and if you boil it for 2-3 times, you get like 1-cm creamy foam on top. I tried the same with Costco whole milk, and didn't get as much cream/richness.

That's probably because supermarket milk is typically homogenised, meaning it's been put through a very narrow funnel with great force until the fat globules break and become more evenly distributed throughout the milk. That's why supermarket milk doesn't have "cream on top". The fat stays suspended in the milk liquid and doesn't rise to the top (as is normal with milk that hasn't been homogenised). Homogenisation also usually standardises milk to a certain fat content while the excess goes to make butter, so you can expect homogenised milk to be just exactly 3.5% in fat (for cow's milk) while the milk you get from your local farmer is going to vary a lot above and below that, depending on season, feed, reproductive cycle and activity of the animals etc.

I suspect that the fishy smell in US chicken is because of a chlorine wash. There was a bit of a scandal about it recently in Britain.
You're not missing anything, the argument is for how long this duration should be.

The lifetime of the original creator plus $YEARS should be more than long enough for the original work(s) to be made 'canonical'. How is a corporation buying up an IP because it is profitable going to guarantee it remains true to the original author's intentions, or to the desires of fans? If we care about the consumer they should be free to engage with the original works or any derivation thereof as they choose. IP isn't about expanding consumer choice, it's about limiting it - and it certainly isn't a mechanism for guaranteeing the ongoing quality of a series.
I can speak just enough to know how I sound, and was surprised to hear that accent too :D
uh yes, but for the purposes of this discussion unless you can compare them vs the watch times of other services that's not very useful. So far as I know Netflix and nobody else releases those numbers so they have to be estimated.
As if Facebook is the #1 place to find restaurants, it's Google for sure.
The odds of being able to make 300k a year at all, never mind without working 60 hrs a week, that it's not even worth discussing. Even the people on this forum are going to be in the minority if not extreme minority of people bringing in that kind of cash for less than 60 hrs.

That said, of course you don't need to spend your whole paycheck, but for the vast majority of people, I think you would have to spend so little that you'd really be sacrificing too much.
I think the software if anything would be the least harmed by a twenty year term. If you wanted to make a closed source compiler its going to need to be better than the latest open source ones for anyone to buy it, so it seems like starting with a twenty year old design and having to (cleanroom) fix all the various bugs that have since been found and modernize the codebase, plus add all the new features needed to be competitive, would be a nonstarter.

If you could fork the latest version and make it closed source, then it's easy, you just add a couple useful features and now yours is "better." But if you have to start with such an ancient version and decades of technical debt you didn't even create, it would be a total waste of time. The open source one would continue getting better while you were playing catchup to even release it.
1. Simplify the tax code for farms under a certain size. Farms basically require itemization for every expense.

2. Right to repair. Seriously, they cannot repair their own equipment.

3. Add legal protections against GMO companies. Or other large private companies. More than a few small farms have be buried in legal bills.

4. Stop putting corn ethanal in gas. Its a poor use of fresh water. It’s provided almost universally by large
farms. It reduces the quality of gas. We are much less dependent on foreign energy than when this was put in place. I guess this one will mostly sort itself out with electrification.

5. Universal healthcare. Or affordable healthcare for small businesses in general. Farming is very accident prone work.

6. Put stricter health regulations on animal husbandry. Big ag animal farms are some of the least sanitary work environments in the US, I’d rather shovel coal.

Edit: Bonus, consider loosening drone regulations for rural areas. They are valuable surveying tools, and line of sight requirements is unnecessary in many agri situations
There are so many important things to examine w.r.t. China's systematic imprisonment and "reeducation" of the Uighurs but this article is totally worthless. Someone doing something in Xinjiang is not immediately sinister and the whole act risks being lost in clickbait fodder like this.
I sure hope so. Maybe the coolest thing we've learned about moderation in the last 5 years or so is that downweighting top subthreads when they fall into certain categories (e.g. generic, indignant, predictable, meta) is one of the highest-leverage things we can do for thread quality.

It's not that those comments are necessarily bad—it's rather that those categories of comment reliably attract lots of upvotes for reasons other than intellectual curiosity. It's not in HN's interest to have them at the top of a thread, because their tendency to attract upvotes creates a feedback loop that the system can't break itself out of. They just sit there, accruing ever more mass and choking out more interesting conversation.

The solution is to have moderation (and to some extent software) carry out a countervailing function. That's basically what moderation is for, anyhow—to jig the system out of its default failure modes.

I was just writing about this here, btw: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29788303

(Someone observant might ask why we didn't do that to this very subthread, i.e. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29781971, which is still at the top of the page. The answer is that the rest of the thread wasn't that great in this case. Had there been lots of curious conversation going on elsewhere on the page, we'd have downweighted the generic/meta subthread. It's still helpful to let those run sometimes, though, as a kind of valve for community self-reflection—we just want that to happen in places where it isn't choking out something better.)
I'm not sure you're following. The limited monopoly on new works incentivizes authorship by providing a market for that content based on the transfer of that monopoly. It doesn't just incentivize the next work; it's the foundation of incentives for all of the work, including the first. Anything you do to make the transfer of those rights less valuable (for instance: terminating them when the original author dies) reduces the incentive for every work of authorship, from the first to the last.
