I'm not sure what "inheritance" has to do with it. Assume an author destined to die alone. That author might be more highly compensated for a successful work in a system where copyright isn't tied to lifetime, since the work itself has more market value. That value accrues to the author in their own lifetime; immediately, in fact.

I started quite young, around 7 or 8. Obviously nothing advanced or anything, just very simple visual basic, and messing around with some chips and a few LED's. Got into web design/development in my early teens, did a bunch of app development, bit of backend, now mostly frontend & design of web apps.

To me code is magical; Even the small things like seeing a button click change something, or even seeing LED's light up in the way you programmed them, it's magic!

What motivated me is to build things. Quite uniquely to code is that you can build amazing products with very limited resources, the possibilities are endless. If you have a computer you can build. I always wanted to build stuff.

Now at 29 it is still what motivates me, I still enjoy building things, seeing something come to life that I designed and built still gives me so much fulfilment and joy. Seeing (quite a few) people actually use the things I build and getting value out of them is even better.

I also do a lot of product management type work atm, but the times I actually get to design & build stuff I realize how much I enjoy creating things. Code is such a great tool.

I also still appreciate the magic of code, now mostly in animations, transitions and well designed and programmed apps and interactions.
Which dates back to 11 years after the founding of the US, but hundreds of years after the settlement of the the US.

And as I just said it only recognized works created in the US and therefore didn’t represent any recognition of copyright as some universal fact. It was a relatively ad hock compromise extending some at the time recent developments in English law.
My guess would be to hoard goods while they can since the prices continue going up.
Remakes and adaptations are a timeless part of storytelling though. Having a template for a popular story with the freedom to adapt it to a new time period and audience is how we transmit our culture. For example:

Pygmalion (Greek myth) -> Pygmalion (Shaw play) -> My Fair Lady -> She's All That
Hamlet -> The Lion King
The Odyssey -> O Brother Where Art Thou (and countless others)
Emma (Jane Austen) -> Clueless

From what was described in the NYT article, the tests are not “unsound”. Nor are those making the tests inherently corrupt or malicious (some medical testing companies are, e.g. Theranos, but the same could be said of any other occupation or industry). My impression is that people who design these tests go into the field to help give parents the best possible information, and do their best to make tests which are as accurate as possible. (Disclaimer: I don’t know anyone in medical technology, pharmaceutical, etc. industries.)

The tests are extremely good, but they are not perfect, with a specificity in the 99.9%–99.99% range, which is low enough that there are more false positives than true positives for extremely rare conditions. Making tests with specificity in the 99.999% range or beyond is an inherently extremely hard problem.

The current quality would be fine if the posterior probabilities were properly explained to patients and if physicians had enough basic intro-level statistics background to interpret the test results. Unfortunately patients often aren’t given the results directly or told accurately how to interpret them and apparently many physicians lack basic statistical competence. It isn’t too promising that this NYT article expressly aimed at clearing up laypeople’s misconceptions does such a poor job explaining the subject, and spends its first half on misleading clickbait about how “wrong” the tests are.

Generally the solution when you're in violation of the law is to stop violating the law, not to stop doing things in general. Colorado's law is not unreasonable.

There is even a forgiveness provision in the GP's link:

> Employers that violate the job posting requirements may be required to pay a fine of between $500 and $10,000 for each violation. The Department will waive all fines if an employer brings its postings into compliance after the first violation.
well I mean in that case, do what you do, you sound like you have made peace with it. But to be honest the best place for legal advice is to talk with an actual lawyer, not random yahoos like me on an internet forum.

If it was me, I'd take the money made from one of the jobs and just invest in anything that can give me passive income streams, Like dividend yielding stocks, index funds, bonds, maybe even own some real estate that makes money passively and have a management service firm take care of it for me (yes it costs money, but at least I don't have to deal with it).

then figure out after a year or two if this is really the life you want to live, holding three jobs and then live the life I want not have to. But what do I know... im just a random yahoo on an internet forum ;-)
Forgive me if this is well known but there was a thing called slow scan television - purely analog first introduced in 1957 - 1958 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow-scan_television.

Quite a bit faster than building a fab for a leading process and making a new product on that fab.

Alder lake seems plenty competitive (even market leading) for today, AMD has nothing big (like zen4) due anytime soon. Moving the next gen to some other fab in time to replace alder lake looks quite feasible.
The entire home cinema market is a colossal fuck up right now.

For a start you’ve got multiple mutually incompatible HDR standards. Even if your TV supports everything, a step in your setup might not. e.g. my LG C1 supports Dolby Vision but my UHD Blu-Ray player (Xbox Series X) can only output DV from games and apps, not Blu-Rays. And that’s not considering that the TV, while incredible, doesn’t actually get anywhere near bright enough to display the full range of HDR.

Audio isn’t much better: my receiver supports every audio codec under the sun but the TV can’t passthrough DTS for some reason so I have to have the Xbox decode it and just send plain stereo instead. The receiver can’t pass 4K 120Hz back to the TV so connecting the Xbox to that is a non-starter.

Now the HDMI folks are following the insane lead of the USB guys and have decided that there is no longer a HDMI 2.0, and instead all HDMI 2.1 features are now just optional. So working out what your TV supports and may support in the future involves trawling spec sheets or even looking at the raw bandwidth of the HDMI ports.

On top of that, TVs still ship with bananas default settings that make everything ultra-blue and motion interpolated so unless you have the knowledge and inclination everything just looks like crap anyway. At least Filmmaker mode is gaining some traction as a one-click way to get a decent picture.

It’s a shame that the vast majority of people will never see the full potential of their AV systems.
Came across this article after reading the statement by the president of the American Academy of Family Physicians to the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation hearing on the “State of Telehealth: Removing Barriers to Access and Improving Patient Outcomes” [1].

There, Dr. Ransone stated (without reference) that “evidence suggested that telehealth uptake was higher among patients with higher levels of education and those with access to employer-sponsored insurance”, which prompted my searching for evidence.

From the submission:

> Our findings also highlight telehealth’s uneven adoption. Within this sample, we found that users were more likely to be educated, employed, and urban based. Not surprisingly, these users possessed the precursors of adoption—Internet access, devices, and technological competence. These findings highlight an inherent challenge in the diffusion of any innovation: ensuring that the new technology is available to those most likely to benefit rather than to only those with resources.

The emotional favoritism in these poll results is laughable so far. Everyone and their cousin on HN loves to shit on Facebook, so lo and behold, it gets the worst ranking, followed by Google. Apple, despite a number of very consumer-hostile choices, is barely considered a potential failure. I would assume that those voting would choose based on a rational analysis derived from their personal knowledge of tech trends, instead of simple personal dislikes. Oops..
"... dealt with once and for all."

Is at least one GCC maintainer looking at this? Otherwise it'll likely not be dealt with "for all", right?

On the kernel side every new dependency has to be added with keeping in mind this problem as long as there's no automation to help with this it'll be a problem.

This is cool. Looks like an OSS version of iStat Menus that I use.
I talked to a handful of these and they said I had a case and they hoped I could find someone else to take it. I really don't have the capacity to talk with a dozen lawyers to start a process that will take months and give me negative value. Also, my rights have expired.
I agree it's not perfect. I was just tired of having to train an ML model and spin up a 24-node Kubernetes cluster just to figure out what services I needed to watch the particular combination of shows my wife and I like.
I grew up on a farm in Italy and for years I could not eat supermarket meat as I found it absolutely awful, so it might be a habit that forms over time. Note that this was not about beef because we didn't have cattle (beef is the only meat we had to buy from outside), anyway in my experience grass-fed high quality beef tastes definitely nothing like supermarket meat... it's not just the taste but the tenderness/consistency/texture.
The police are taxpayer funded enforcement of the things in your house and in your bank. Should personal property and wealth savings also revert to the public because of this? It would be a stronger argument if the creation of the work was taxpayer funded, then that would be a decent reason to have the protections lapse eventually.
I think you missed the point. Those tools can't do anything until you hit save. They're useful but still very limited.
I mean, you can apply that logic to other IPs like vaccines as well. Imagine if the polio vaccine was never public domain until 95 years after everyone involved in inventing it died.

I don't see why being the first to come up with something means it has to be yours infinitely. Most research can be duplicated. 10, 20, 30 or more years of exclusivity, sure, I see the logic in that. But if you truly invented something novel and can't monetize it within a few decades, you're doing something wrong.

I also think about the electronic music scene and how it freely remixes older songs from the 1970s etc. Imagine if that never existed.
Monti on the 'Bin
Electrophysiology is fascinating! The methods used to study neurons and their ion channels are super interesting.

One method is where a pipette with a super tiny tip is attached using suction to the membrane of a neuron, inside the pipette is one end of a circuit used to measure changes in conductance (through ion transfer)

This allows a researcher to study the properties of individual (or small groups of) ion channels. You can either take measurements while attached to a whole neuron or you can give the pipette a little careful tug to rip off some piece of membrane to study a small subset of the channels present. This is called "inside out"

Another similar method is "outside out" where the researcher applied more suction to break the membrane where the pipette is attached, then they can pull away and the membrane surrounding the pipette seal is allowed to reform.

Really cool stuff! I recommend anyone interested in neuroscience read about some of these methods.
Google is so spammy I now instinctively use other search methods at times. Which is very interesting, because doing so is high friction. But it's so spammy out there that pain(spam) > pain(friction).

It is not to be "un-Google" but because I get better results.

For example searching in a good subreddit can be more fruitful, giving answers from genuine people in moderated parts of the internet. If you get crap then try another subreddit - some mods are better than others.

Is this a business opportunity - I think so, although I have no idea how you would go about it. Maybe a decent search engine for programmers would be a good start! E.g. "Exception Message XYZ" + site with decent answers.
December 2021 La Niña update: visual aids
Indeed, even failed to distinguish white from red.
It's called the bullwhip effect.

Everyone at every level in the supply chain is buying six months of buffer stock. Then when normality resumes, everyone will consume their buffer stock while cancelling orders, leading to layoffs, idling, and potentially bankruptcy of component manufacturers and another induced shortage.
Indeed, that's the way the big companies do it. But smaller operations operating on private land are often chainsaws+skidders, there is apparently enough money in it to be profitable, and it probably isn't worth it to truck over a large harvester for a small job.
Roth 401k contributions are subject to the same traditional 401k contribution limits. I think you are not understanding. Where does this conflicting information come from?

Do note that there is a super confusing "after tax 401k" as well as a "roth 401k" which is also after tax but different. Search engines have trouble with this, and it also confuses gurus. But neither of these reduce a 401k contribution down to $5k, and the roth 401k is all taxed now and tax free later exactly like a roth ira with 1,000% higher contribution limits.

How did they buy the address? In what sense do they own the address? They don't own the domain, do they? And can't I just copy & paste the address myself, so I own it to?
Is it even close to that? You can bundle a ton of services and still come out cheaper, plus you avoid ads. The biggest difference is also that you can mix and match services at will, so if you arent using one, you can just drop it for a few months.

Its significantly better than cable TV still. I also dont get people reminiscing about one streaming service dominating, we shouldnt be wishing for monopolies. Everyone coming out with their own platform should drive up competition and give us better quality services
This goes for most jobs. Pilots: endless boredom punctuated by moments of stark terror.
> Scale. This applies to processing regulation and also to purchasing power, organizational ability and much else besides.

It's also a cumulative problem. If you have the existing level of regulation, you have Amazon and Walmart. At a lower level of regulation there might be ten of them instead of two. But wait, then they each have less scale which makes it easier for smaller competitors to enter and that turns it into twenty or fifty.

There are also ways to counter non-regulatory scale, like specialization. Newegg competes successfully with Amazon because they focus on electronics. Then they buy enough electronics to have scale in electronics, even if they can't match Amazon's scale in diapers or ice melt.

And some scale problems are intractable but they're also separable. If you wanted to compete with Amazon and FedEx and UPS didn't exist, you'd be screwed. No way you have enough scale to do that on your own, selling your printer toner refills or whatever. But they do exist. Which allows competition for the verticals that don't need that amount of scale to be viable.

Moreover, scale has limits. Maybe you need to move ten thousand units a month to be viable in a particular market, and that takes at least ten employees. You can't do it in your garage. But that doesn't mean you have to be the size of Amazon either. And this threshold is different in every market. The higher regulatory burdens are, the more markets go on the wrong side of the line.

The problem with regulatory costs is that they tend to be generic. You're stuck with every payments regulation, labor regulation, every jurisdiction's unique tax laws, regardless of what you're selling. Specialization doesn't get you out of most of them. And they can accumulate without bound. Add excessive regulatory burdens on top of all the other advantages to scale and you get what we've got, instead of some lesser scale advantage with greater competition.

> The fact is, regulation is hard to get right.

It's all cost benefit analysis.

There are regulations that cost a negligible amount of money and have an enormous benefit. Those aren't the ones that meaningfully impair competition, because they cost a negligible amount of money and if we only had the ones with an enormous benefit then the cumulative effect would still be small.

We also have some regulations with a large cost and a modest benefit. Those are hot garbage, but they're on page 7357 of a ten thousand page bill that nobody read before passing and the businesses they destroyed are already bankrupt instead of lobbying to have it repealed.

But the biggest problem is the numerous, numerous regulations with a small cost and a small benefit. Because those aren't worth it. Breakeven on the regulation, if you can even do the accounting that carefully, is still a net negative because of the effect on competition.

So we should keep the ones in the first category. A small cost with a large benefit. And get rid of all the others.
Pretty neat! Was poking around on the site, and under the hood the interface to upload and render the audio is powered by Gradio: https://gradio.app/
I know it's boring, but lately I always reach for WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) in C# when building a desktop app. I know people hate XAML but I suspect they're trying to do way too much with it. Stick to basic controls, StackPanels and Grids for layout, have everything you possibly can bound to your ViewModels, lots of DataTemplates, and it's very nice.

Edit: It doesn't really seem to be all that great at cross-platform though, at least not without your clients jumping through hoops. So maybe it fails on that criterion.
I think this is an interesting objection. Does copyright really achieve this objective of keeping the story in the control of the original creator and a single "true canon", though? Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney, so now the "true canon" is no longer Lucas' vision, but Disney's. Maybe if there were multiple versions, someone else could carry the story on in a different way you might prefer better.

Even if there were no copyright, the original creators could keep extending their stories indefinitely, and people could continue following those if they were the best ones, or the only ones considered "real". I don't want to get into a debate about NFTs, but they could be used to verify content came from a particular source if you wanted to have some assurance that a particular piece of content was part of the "official canon".
There's no minimum wage for illegal immigrants. The higher minimum wage gets, the more incentive there is to draw upon illegal labor markets, particularly the more plentiful the illegal labor units become.
