How is transparency worse than smoke screen that we have today? For example healthy and good websites could rank according to good content, good optimization, variety of multimedia content, decent design and UI etc. You can't have too much of good things and qualities. That would be something like writing a too good book or making a too good product.

It is less crazy when you compare to real property and personal property. Your rights to real estate never expire.

I am pretty sure if you traced my house's property title back far enough it was awarded by Charles II to a loyalist.

At least with IP, you can make infinite new property.

These two account for virtually nothing (unless I'm missinterpreting how seat allocation works up north). They aren't a threat.

You seem to believe you have better information and political skills than their paid staff. That's a bold statement.

This argument depends greatly on how much you're shortening copyright. Even if it went back to 30 years, I'm skeptical that it would impact it much. They may still sell, but I doubt publishers are being kept afloat by works that old. Even for the IPs that remain popular they do new things with them to keep the revenue coming.

With respect to 1, it cuts both ways. Sometimes an author can change a work for the worse, and then use his monopoly to (largely) erase the original. Remember the Star Wars Special Editions? All the fan restorations and rescans floating around are effectively bootlegs. There was one official release on DVD in 2006, but no indication it will ever happen again.
> Everything and every group's voice should be heard at some point but not in a more divisive manner and to the detriment of attention to the immediate problems that affect us all

The problem with this line of thinking is that there's a pattern to which peoples' issues are considered mainstream (i.e. they affect "us all") and which group's issues are considered divisive and a "distraction". But if you're in a marginalized minority group, those "distractions" may be your biggest problems every day. "Not yet" is practically the same as "no" and some folks are tired of waiting, so if you want unity you've got to build it by acknowledging those problems and support those people. Otherwise "unity" always comes at the expense of the same people.
I mentioned subreddit searching in another post - this is a good way to find reviews. I often have other forums I will google search inside for opinions on something. It's more effort than a review site, but it is due-diligence. Since there is money in it for someone lying to you, unfortunately its a "why we can't have nice things" scenario. It is why you can't ask the car dealer what the best car is for you. If you want a good understanding of something, you need to dig. If I see a site with Amazon links, I close it in < 500ms.
> "adrenaline"

If you're not used to flying (like yourself) this might be the case. For regular flyers (like me) it's often more like taking the subway or commuting to work. Personally I always get an aisle seat, take at least two liters of water with me to combat the dehydration and let me get to work/family/whatever in the best shape I can be when I land. I always eat ahead of time or at the airport (lounges make this more reasonable) because I also know that on the other end of the flight there's baggage, a taxi, checking into the hotel, getting to dinner, etc. So figure at least two hours of hassle before a dinner or snack is possible, usually more.
But if you spend a few days on the "MacGyver approach", and it doesn't work out, will you have enough water left for reaching civilization on foot? While walking, you should probably find some shadow (if available) and rest during the hottest hours of the day, that would also help save drinking water...
None of these Substack-based lab-leak hysteria pieces ever address "so what?" I see nothing here to convince me that Omicron is a lab leak as opposed to an animal reservoir, where the author includes "seems to have come from mice" as evidence for the former and not the latter, which is confused.

Regardless, there is nothing actionable about any origin theory aside from "be mad at some unnamed scientist" or, as some of these conspiracy-theory vendors would prefer, "be mad at science in general."

So, what is the call to action here? Stop researching gain of function entirely?

I had a problem over the weekend in that I was trying to mount an 'old style' MSDOS hardisk image. Dosemu wouldn't recognise it. I eventually worked out that the disk-image in question had its partition1 begin after 63 sectors (about 32 K), whereas 'modern' hard-disk images have their partition1 begin after 2048 sectors (1 megabyte).

I don't know if dosemu has a command-line option to cater for those rare(?) disk-images, but it might be a worthwhile addition.
Quitting is the wrong move.

Proposing wide-sweeping legislation to force publishers to act like publishers and censor all content, or to leave content up to users and not censor anything.

It's this duplicitous approach these companies use that is generating all of the controversy.

It's time to propose a regulatory body and start censoring the internet publishers. It's time to propose a gross-revenue percentage fine for these mega-companies as well.

We need to have companies that violate regulations fined with gross-revenue percentage fines. Something in the neighborhood of 10% of the average of past 5 years gross revenue, and the fine last for a minimum of a decade. The fines should be levied against the assets of a company, like a lien so that they cannot simply dissolve the company to avoid the fine. All assets would be attached by the fine, so the fines would /always/ be paid.

Time to gut these mega-corps. Time to force them to comply with basic human decency standards. Time for them to pay the piper.
There are some attempts to correlate with human pathology at least, they examine brains from patients with schizophrenia.

This comment is confusing patents with copyrights. But allow me to take it at face value anyway.

Let’s not pretend that Star Wars is as important as the Polio vaccine, or that we aren’t able to differentiate between artworks and medical technology. We can and do already have exceptions to the copyright law that allow for important social uses, so I don’t buy this argument.

> I don’t see why being the first to come up with something means it has to be your infinitely.

This doesn’t answer the question of why someone else should be able to take what I created for their own personal gain.

A lot of song remixing falls under Fair Use Copyright Law. Some of it doesn’t, and even if we like it, maybe shouldn’t be allowed. The question at hand is at what time can I just copy your entire album verbatim and sell it for my own profit, unmodified. That’s what copyright expiring enables.

The important metric is what percentile of the market band each company targets. The word on the street (blind) is that MS pays median to 60th, while G/FB pay at 90th percentile.

95% of automotive chips are being manufactured on 90's era i-line and KrF steppers that China can manufacture locally.

Only missing piece domestically were the excimer lasers, but they've had that solved (probably through industrial espionage) for three or so years.
TSMC, Samsung, and Intel are all aggressively investing in Fab R&D.

Nvidia, AMD, Apple, Intel, Samsung are all investing billions into chip R&D.

There is no shortage of competition.

As far as moore’s law: it’s a predicted number of transistors on a chip. Not performance. The increasingly vast proportion of transistors on a chip are the caches. The construction of high density memory is generally fabricator IP as it they are highly optimized for each company’s own fab processes. So again not the lack of competition.

The reality is the problem is physics: the development of EUV lithographers and steppers has taken two decades of intensive effort: the creation of the light source is astonisngly challenging and ended up requiring a system that fires lasers at droplets of tin dropping thousands of times a second. Teach droplet has to be shot twice: the first low power one to push the droplet into a correctly aimed lens. The second to turn it into a plasma. Of course blowing up tin creates debris, so they had to develop away to prevent debris hitting the collector mirror. Each collector mirror takes Zeiss 4 months to manufacture. They can’t use lenses as EUV light can’t penetrate them. So they have to use mirrors. Only ~70% of the EUV light is reflected by the perfect mirrors.

All this gets you to feature sizes that are getting increasingly close to single digit numbers of atom per transistor, at which point you can’t make them any smaller.

The statement that you don’t think manufacturing costs are great is wrong.

Every high end fab costs billions of dollars, and generally has a five year life for high end (this high margin) chips. Actually producing the chips is expensive. For a high end chip you’re looking a 3 months to produce. That is 3 months of continuous 24/7 operation. The EUV optics are dumping enough power to etch the mirrors in the $150 million ASML steppers. A single wafer during production can travel 500 thousand miles of track, and consume 50 thousand liters of water.

All of those costs are essentially determined by wafer not number of chips, so a larger chip necessarily costs more to manufacture, and the costs pile up: the bigger your chip is the more likely you are to get defects that kill the entire chip, or kill execution units requiring you to disable the units (generally resulting in “binning” them as low margin budget chips). Then you also have geometry: wafers are circular, the bigger your chip, the less useable space is on each wafer. Further reducing the number of chips.

Manufacturing large high end chips is expensive

>Digital art does not have this problem.

https://xkcd.com/1683/

On a less smug note, truly digital art might not have that problem, but digital representations of analogue art (which the topic of discussion falls under) do. Most movies are just digital encodings of analogue film, and it's only very recently this stopped being true.

And that's not to mention the fact that the way you that you view digital files also affects them. There's the general trend towards denser displays requiring higher resolutions for a file to appear crisp, but even the screen technology itself is a factor - take a look at how much different pixel sprites look on modern displays compared to the CRTs they were designed for:[1][2]

We’re capable of doing far more to care for people than we do. The amount that we do is practically nothing in the US.

Europe seems to do a reasonably good job. Apologies if you were posting from a more socially sofisticated state. I kind of assumed and I usually try not to do that.
It doesn’t have to actually, there are some pretty advanced caching mechanisms that allow you to combine cached elements together. For the web at least, you could do this back in the day with Server Side Include, and a place I worked at used it to cache logged in content.
Part of why it's niche is they basically abandoned that line of business. Remember that they even tried to spin it off into its own separate company, and only changed their minds after a huge backlash.

Many companies fail to adapt and stick with old business models. Netflix did the exact opposite and took their dvd business behind the barn and shot it in the head.
Those kind of people are free to believe whatever they like, as long as they don’t push it on those that don’t believe. :-) That is the fundamental difference. Wanting the State to shoot people in the face for daring to challenge their ongoing intellectual rent extraction is mean spirited to say the least. Math needs no gun, and it’s defenses are as much energy can be thrown at the problem.

I’m not really here to argue my point, I don’t think I could challenge you T or change your mind. But I wanted to splash some counter idea on this hard and growing harder IP dystopian world we find ourselves in.

The same laws that prevent mid size apartment buildings often prevent an existing home from being divided into a duplex or triplex. Why restrict the number of kitchens and exterior doors? For most single family exclusive neighborhoods, I don't think air rights are relevant. They don't want people with less money moving in.

It's the same motivation as Marin County, CA and the Georgetown neighborhood of DC refusing train stops to "keep the riff raff out". The exclusion is the point.

You misunderstand. It's not that there was one monopoly wholesaler and now there are two. It's that there was one monopoly wholesaler, and there still is, but now it's negotiating with a new cartel of manufacturers. That's not better.

>stop researching gain of function entirely?

Yes
Very good point. Facebook has gone from something that I used for enjoyment (2004 through maybe 2016) to something that I resentfully use only to conduct business in my local community. It's still "social" but it's the difference between hanging out with friends vs. running errands at the store, post office, city hall, etc. It has clearly grown in importance by becoming the de facto official online presence of so many entities, so I can't escape it, but I absolutely want to minimize my time spent on that stuff.

I reflexively answered the poll with Facebook because I hate it, but then I realized that I'm probably closer to killing my Netflix account than my Facebook account, and I doubted my answer. Now you've convinced me again that Facebook is most in decline.
"prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized." is what I get. There are a lot more words in there, and those words are pretty important.
> Stop researching gain of function entirely?

Yes, this was very explicitly stated. And this is nowhere near the first call to do so (a lot of very respected scientists were calling for a stop to GoF research before the pandemic).

Whatever claims GoF research had beforehand of helping w/ pandemic preparedness have evaporated, because none of the successful responses to the pandemic (vaccines, antivirals) have relied on GoF research whatsoever. It appears to a high risk with no reward.
> Sometimes artists don’t enjoy success for decades, and then it happens long after their most influential work.

I know there are notable examples of this, but they are notable because it's incredibly rare.
This kind of comment has no substance and just betrays a lack of understanding about the role of animal models.

Mouse models are imperfect, but they tell us quite a lot about humans. That's why we use them. Where they are weak, we adjust the experiment and the conclusions accordingly.

I apologize if I seem frustrated. In truth, I am. Comments like this lower the level of discourse, and it's frustrating.

There are a lot of implications if this is a lab leak, including:
- Are labs involved in this research sufficiently secure? Do we need to raise the standard of security?
- Is the cost-benefit of gain of research worth it?
- Should China be forced to pay reparations/ sanctioned for hiding the source?
All of these conversations depend on whether its a lab leak.
