> What legal way am I locked out? There are exemptions in US (and other law) for copyright, patents have not changed

Please point out to me which copyright exemption will enable me to get hold of firmware for a microcontroller in my washing machine if the current one gives up the ghost. I can buy an identical microcontroller, and solder it in place of the current one, but without firmware the device is dead. The same applies to all appliances, from toasters to cars, it has nothing to do with skill.
This was not the case a few decades ago.

Additionally, you clearly haven't been paying attention to recent events. John Deer literally shuts down your tractor, and even if you repair it, it won't start untill you pay their mechanic to come over and reset it. It is not a matter of skill - the machine is locked and only their mechanics have authorisation to rest it. The same is happening with phones, computers and domestic apliances.

"Sorry, these cupholders do not work with this brand of soda. Your GPS screen is now showing the nearest store where you can purchase a brand of soda that will work in your cupholders. You'll be enjoying delicious X Brand Soda in just 17 minutes!"
Too reductionist.
This pattern is pervasive. I also dislike needing an app and an internet connection for the most basic functionality with some purchased device. At some point, we need to own the things we buy and that line keeps getting pushed back further and further.

Anec-data: I purchased a cooking device for my parents in December and it has a single button to turn it off. The only way to use it is with an app which requires a login to the company's service. The device even has local bluetooth capabilities. You may be wondering, "What is this device supposed to do?" and the obvious answer is: "It's supposed to boil water." The real answer seems to be, "it collects usage data about customers boiling water."
My take is not nearly as strong as the fsf's. I'm fine not being provided with source code, and not being able to distribute the original code itself.

Basically - I don't expect to have companies hand me code they wrote to run the device (I happen to like it, so I tend to support companies that do), but I don't believe that's a reasonable (or particularly useful) practice when so many functions depend on external web services.

I do expect to have them legally prevented from blocking me from writing my own code to run or repair the device.
Its a bit easier for Israel - if you are an outsider (99.9% of mankind) and dare criticize it anyhow, you are quickly marked either a) antisemitic or b) supporting islamic terrorism, or some mix of those. Nobody wants to touch that with 10 foot pole in woke era.
AdBlock Plus and uBlock are owned by the same company, uBlock is not uBlock Origin, and the history is confusing.

µBlock/uBlock was the original, released in 2014 by Gorhill. In 2015, fed up with support request, he transferred the project to Chris Aljoudi. He then forked his own project, most likely due to a disagreement over donations, it became uBlock Origin. Eventually most people moved from uBlock to the better maintained uBlock Origin. Eyeo eventually bought uBlock and added their "acceptable ads" option.

So you can't say that uBlock is a fake, it is actually the original project. But the one made by the original author is uBlock Origin.

Yes it is confusing, but whatever, get uBlock Origin.
I have the PinePhone Beta Edition with Convergence Package and I tried all of the available OS alternatives, unfortunately none of those is quite ready for use as a daily driver.

Overall the best experience was with Mobian, this is actually pretty close to being a daily driver and if only performance was a bit better it could be OK (the new PinePhone Pro will be faster so I'm waiting to try Mobian with that).

Ubuntu Touch was the smoothest in terms of performance. The main disadvantage is I could not find some of the apps that are available for the other distros like Gnome Maps. Since it is based on Ubuntu I was expecting to find a larger app ecosystem compared to Mobian but that wasn't the case (I tried searching both in the store app and using apt search in terminal). Also, many apps in the store are actually repackaged progressive apps.

The default OS (Manjaro Plasma) is the least polished of all the ones I tried, it is quite a lot slower than Mobian or Ubuntu Touch and even basic things like placing an app on the home screen are broken, and I have no idea why they chose it as the default OS.

Fair point haha. I’ll also set up a matrix room and bridge it to Discord.
The fact that the brand didn't completely die at that point was surprising.
We collect a ton of information, including genetics, family histories, etc. We are thoroughly cursed by dimensionality.
Yes, it's like this. But in general, Mossad and Isreali intelligence have done whatever they wanted with no repercussions for a long time now. This is, IMO, nothing new.
A surprising number of ICBMs have used star trackers as well! It's somewhat surprising that ICBMs used star trackers before inertial guidance was sufficiently precise. The idea of an automated, high-precision star tracker is not so surprising today but back in the '60s it was quite an achievement.

Successful for whom? The layers or the consumer? Sadly in many class action cases the "victims" get effectively nothing.

I'll firmly disagree. I find logic questions, and how they solve a problem vastly more important than other aspects of the interview.

I'm often looking for someone I can give a problem to and they return with a potential solution. That involves thinking through problems, how they work, how they can't work, etc.

Asking someone how they think GPS works, or asking them a question about how they'd try to track down a defect based on what a customer is reporting to me are very important skill sets to have.
> The purpose of antitrust law is to prevent monopolies, not to prevent industry consolidation. Consolidation is fine in the eyes of the law, but monopolistic behavior isn't.

The purpose of antitrust law is to prevent anticompetitive behaviour by limiting the accumulation of market power. The most extreme case of this is monopolies.

I agree that no action will be taken, though. The current status quo is so full of market power abuse that this acquisition looks normal.
Again, how will it make me care less about price of my own house? It's not an investment. It's my only house. I bought it because I need to live somewhere. What would convince me to agree to a landfill next to it?

Remember back last year when the big issue was "Why are we shutting down? We should just go ahead and let it run its course!" Here's why we didn't:

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailycases

The peak number of cases reported daily in 2020 was in mid-December, at about 200,000. As standardUser says, we were having about 800,000 cases per day last week.

On the other hand, we have vaccines now, and the current variant seems to be less deadly. As a result:

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailydeaths...

Current new hospital admissions (right axis, completely different scale) are about 20,000 per day, versus 16,500 per day in early January 2021, and 1,700 deaths versus 3,000 last January.
It is expert defence against charges like this that will undo the whole nearly-but-not-quite autonomous driving industry. And rightly so. I am stunned the industry thinks effectively an [OK] click through is going to save them here.

(And before anyone quotes million of miles per fatality stats, this is a legal question on a single case, generalities don't cleanly apply.

Edit: I think Tesla and co. will need to show that it is reasonable to assume a driver can quickly notice and respond to a hazard particularly after being lulled into passivity for what could be hours by the drive system. Good luck.)
There is nothing uncommon about this. There are many jurisdictions in the USA where charges for most crimes other than very serious stuff like murder are usually raised only just before the statute of limitations runs out.
> I'm surprised ... it seems like a far more simple game.

This probably shouldn't surprise you. If you are researching how to attack a new/difficult class of problems, typically you look for the simplest versions of that class first.
That's just objectively not true - welfare systems stop people from becoming homeless or starving in the street all the time.

Libertarianism/neoliberalism is the ideological model that doesn't care about the poor - social democracy isn't perfect but it is an improvement over just letting people die.
At the time of the first Gulf War, Iraq had the world's fourth largest army. Some details here:

Not decrepit, IMHO.
• On average, over 90 containers compromised per day.
• In partnership with Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department (LASD), and California Highway Patrol (CHP) we estimate over 100 arrests have been made of active criminals vandalizing our trains. UP alone making several dozens of arrests.
• With our law enforcement partners we have deterred hundreds of individuals from trespassing and vandalizing our trains.
• Of all those arrests, however, UP has not been contacted for any court proceedings.

The damning thing here is the lack of prosecution for the arrests that have happened. It's a clear message to offenders that they can continue what they are doing with no serious consequences.

However, a figure that's missing from Union Pacific's letter is how much (or how little) UP has invested in security measures since the theft wave began, or relative to another time period.
No goods are stolen from your local target Walmart or big box retailers then moved on Amazon. But if there is nothing to steal because Walmart has no stock due to a shutdown or snow storm then amazon dries up too.

And that the business is still making money to pay the employees. A lot of restaurants are saddled with debt and can't just pay employees when they aren't generating work.
This is by design. They want to track everything but that’s too much too quick, so instead they set the limit high and let inflation do the job.

I agree they are not precisely the same thing in all respects. However practically, the situations don't seem very different.

Are you thrilled with the idea of more creative output being a result of UBI?

There's a lot of great stuff that could happen if people weren't chained to wage slavery and could lean on UBI to pursue passions. Sure there will be people that sit on their ass and do nothing, but there will also be people who use their new found freedom to create great things that wouldn't have happened otherwise.

I'd also like to point out that even the most radical UBI proponents aren't pushing for a truly substantial benefit. Most of the proposals I've seen are payments that would be near poverty level if it was treated as a sole income for any length of time.

Our Rails test suite runs in about 20 minutes (mostly integration tests) but parallelized on CircleCI with 3 workers it's down to ~6. If I run our entire suite locally on my 8-core macbook I get about 3 minutes but I can't do much with my laptop during that time because my system is monopolized, a colleague of mine runs it on a threadripper and it's sub-2 minutes. So running on Circle is well worth it, I can go top off my coffee, make a snack, answer emails, etc...
Pretty cool! Honestly, I've found the challenges related to standing up Python-based gRPC services to be super complicated and not worth the hit. I'm not sure this solves that in particular, because most of the pain is around things like TLS, HTTP2, proxy and loadbalancer configuration, and other things I'd love to not have to spend hours worrying about just to massage the bytes right.

This is a long-winded way of saying that I used to really love protocol buffers and gRPC but at this point am a little soured on them in practice.
> You're making the mistake of taking their process names at face value.

You're missing where I said in the next paragraph you snipped off that TSMC has been ahead at the "node size name".

> Samsung 3nm is less dense than TSMC's 5nm which has been shipping since 2020. They are more than 2 years behind, as they still haven't matched TSMC 5nm even when their new 3nm launches.

For high performance logic, drive currents, leakage, switching power, metal resistance, etc can all be equally or more important than density.
Average human is actually quite terrible in driving cars, as evidenced by the global death toll numbering in dosens of thousands every year. Even halving this number would be a win, losing a lot of people to such edge cases. However, the nature of the problem would not allow for it, because every death from a self-driving car will get excessive coverage and public outrage, and people will prefer losing far more people to human errors than fewer to computer errors.
Emacs extensions never fail to astound me. It’s almost an OS in a sense within a text editor.
Yep. I would argue that driving is AI complete - in the sense that only true Artificial General Intelligence can do it, and so do everything else to.

Perhaps this is because it requires cooperating with other General Intelligences (i.e. us) in an open world.
It’s not that i dont agree but the Terraria example is a bit unfair. First this is issue of the platform. On other platforms you can choose version of the game.
And second Terraria is example of probably one of the most supported games. The update you are talking about brings massive amount of content and updates completely for free 9 years!!! after release. Most companies would milk the product with third sequel and dozens DLCs by that time.

It looks like Axel Springer was trying to assert that the user's own software on their own client device was creating derivative works on behalf of companies like eyeo. Just because eyeo wrote the software that I may or may not choose to use on my device does not mean and IMO should not be taken to mean that eyeo is republishing anything for my consumption. I'm just using my copy of the web page that I obtained legally from the web server with software I choose to use which may display things differently from how the publisher of the page intends.

Websites changing scrolling behavior is so infuriating to me that I've considered doing my own Firefox builds that remove the JavaScript functions for changing the scroll position.

I can't for the life of me figure out why web devs think they need to re-implement smooth scrolling. Web browsers already do it out of the box, and trying to re-implement it never works in all browsers.

I'm sure. But the sensitivity of rapid tests were always much much worse than the sensitivity of PCR tests. The original sensitivity of rapid tests were like 60%.

Frankly, going from 60% to 40% doesn't change my viewpoint on rapid tests. Its all "unreliable false negative" to me (I don't know what it is for Omicron, I'm just pulling 40% out of nowhere). But whatever it was, the sensitivty was always so low that you never could rely upon a negative-reading, due to the high chance of false-negatives.

----------

Rapid tests remain useful, but you _MUST_ always be mindful of their high false negative rate. The fact that their "unreliable stat got even more unreliable" isn't really news, because you shouldn't have been relying upon it anyway.
There's a tendency to for diagnoses to double duty, both as description and explanation. Why does he do those things? Because he's autistic. And why do we call him autistic? Because he does those things.

It's especially bad for things which are defined by "at least n of these m things", including depression, addiction, and a ton of other psychological diagnoses. Are we getting any wiser from such definitions at all?

(But there's the issue of insurance, or rationing assistance more generally, which compels us to keep using these non-explaining diagnoses.)

The promised that AI would replace dangerous work but instead it ruthlessly manages disposable workers till they get damaged and then disposes off them because that’s cheaper than actually automation.
I don't follow this exact procedure, but I do something similar.

I have a bunch of external drives. They go back to ~100GB parallel-ATA drives in external USB enclosures. I think I have ~10 generations of disks in play right now. I've spent less than $2,000 on drives in ~20 years. I probably should have purchased a few more disks over the years since I went >18 months between generations and sometimes 24-30 months.

I wrote some simple scripts to copy the contents to a new drive, compare hashes of the copy to the source, and store the hashes for any new files on the new copy. It's mostly automated. The only thing I've thought about adding is perhaps using PAR2 to add some bitrot protection.

I keep the most recent disk at home and copy files to it throughout the year. (I keep it unplugged most of the time.) When I buy a new disk I run my copy scripts then take the old drive to a relative's house and store it in their gun safe. (Lately I've been the oldest drive from the safe and marveling at the old technology. >smile<)

In couple of my previous jobs I often needed to quickly understand large, disparate codebases, without having them compile.

I've used Source Insight (https://www.sourceinsight.com/) to do this with great success. SI builds the typical tree of nodes and dependencies, except it can do so without having to compile anything, and can do so with multiple languages. It also has absolutely superb code/fuzzy search experience.

The driver wasn't using FSD, so that's irrelevant. He was using Autopilot, a much less capable system that doesn't cost an extra $12k.
Full self-driving cars limited to highways is probably a much more reasonable goal. A lot of the issues seem to be with intersections and pedestrian crossings - things that are absent on highways. Plus, infrastructure to assist self-driving cars like beacons on off ramps could feasibly be added.

I find that programming languages are themselves a great reference... for the logic of a single thread. The moment you start doing concurrent development, or hell, even basic event-driven code, it gets much harder to "just read along". This is where I would kill for visualizations to help out.

Like, if you fork your process at a point, vertically split the text into two columns with a line saying "new thread over here". And then highlight any points of synchronization.

I think when people think of visualizations, it's "everything is a 2D graphic". When really, there could be new ways to laying out and navigating text-based source.
I'm about 7 years in the industry and removed all the full stack stuff from my resume.
