Seems like they are related, from reading https://law.marquette.edu/facultyblog/2011/10/one-public-dom...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds to me like in the US The Hobbit never formally was under copyright due to not fulfilling the requirements when published. It remained that way until 1996 when URAA made the UK copyright valid in the US. Golan v Holder then affirmed that public domain works could be copyrighted under those special circumstances.
That seems backwards IMO; you need their permission, so there's no point in finding the code if you can't get permission, and the copyright holder is more likely than almost anyone else to know where to get the source anyways.
>They are perfectly willing to spend on other things.

So a product shouldn't exist because you don't get the wage you feel entitled to when making it?

Apparently a lot of others are willing to work making, selling, and buying products you think should not exist. I prefer the market solution.

Anyone can start a company, and pay workers awesome magical wages. Does this not happen because every single company owner is evil, or is it because there are real constraints to this dream of entitled wages, divorced from market clearing rates? Go make that company and make your ideal world reality.
No they aren't. Literally the first item in the FAQ on the site says "NOT PCR"...
"In order to have the best experience, please confirm your AdChoices"
"Lack of work is only due to lack of imagination"

How so? It seems one needs capital to start new things, time to use their imagination (as opposed to seeking necessities), and then customers able to pay for whatever the new thing is. I think there are tons of constraints in feasibility.
Those bits can be pretty easily automated as well.

Is there any remaining logic game which AI hasn't become superhuman? IIRC Monte Carlo tree search has done wonders in this area.
This. It’s similar to Netflix realizing they need to own as much content as possible to retain and attract subscribers and keep fat margins. GamePass is where the money is. Once they have your credit card the friction to up sell you is dramatically lowered.
> but you will be required to connect to the internet periodically to check for updates

"But you will be required to return to the reseller with your purchased goods [shoes / book / trolley ...] periodically for a check"

The point is not that the clause exists, the point is that the clause is absurd and indefensible.
I came here to say something similar. I also have aphantasia, and I generally keep a list of concepts this function (I'm a C guy) needs to do, what assumptions it needs to make, and where it fits in the general process. It needs to be general enough to be called in other contexts. It should verify that the input pointer is not null and it can safely ignore freeing that as a resource since it's done somewhere else. It needs to return one of these errors, and needs to add one of them to the error/description list since it's new with this function. It needs to handle the case where the passed-in error code pointer is NULL. Things like that.

I've tried to visualize code with diagrams and whatnot, and it only gets in my way. I suspect that like some abstract math concepts visualization will always only get in the way except for an abstract very simplified picture of what's going on. But it's certainly possible that I'm missing some visualization skills most 4-year olds have and if I could visualize I would be able to handle it just fine.

Wages would presumably raise prices only in industries that can't be heavily automated. As a result, industries that are automatible will have lower prices, while industries that require human labor will have inflated prices. In the end, those who make close to minimum wage are probably better off, since they can afford more of the automated things, and those who automate things are probably better off since they have more people to sell to. Those who are well off but don't automate things will probably be about even, since they'll need to pay more for human labor, but will receive UBI and automation benefits.
Those interviewed in the article seemed to imply reading a book or watching TV was a grand pleasure. I'm disagreeing with that sentiment. I've found even a slight curve of my neck creates a lot of discomfort especially when running or walking.

Ideas for a long and successful tech career
They were trying to make the argument that they html was copyright and thus modifying and redistributing it (IE removing the ads) without license was infringing. The entirety of the consideration was whether programmatically removing ads in the page before serving it to the user consisted of redistribution or reproduction.

Definitely a stretch attempt at interpretation but not surprising and not at all unreasonable.

Your analogy isn't fully sane - You bought the book you're scribbling in, and have the right to deface that copy as you please, and even resell that copy. You may not reprint it with a word whited out and offer it for reproduction or distribution as your own.

This side of copyright law is very well established and not ambiguous.
Genera idea is that goods and services get ever cheaper.

If your not overly picky (beans and rice) have gotten so cheap that world hunger is already a solved problem. Distribution less so.

If you can setup a Von Neumann machine that worked In the middle of the desert. eventually you could have hundreds of cities ready for move in. So very cheap.
It's so fascinating that physical labor seems to be the main concern when it comes to robots doing it better/cheaper than humans. If anything, we know that automation is coming after office desk jobs first. Those jobs are much easier to automate. Language models can read a manuscript and spit out a summary/judgment with much better my friend that has read so many books and evaluate book projects. The "robot" has read more books, can memorize more of the manuscript as it reads it and does it much much much faster.

Maybe publishing houses are not comfortable replacing her with an AI but it will eventually happen.

Recording WebRTC with a ghost participant using puppeteer
Decided to write this after doing a bunch of research into recording a webRTC meeting with several participants. Hopefully it helps other who decide to go down this path if they want to incorporate recording into their video chat app. I used an ingenious open source library called puppeteer-stream to basically get a prototype ready in a couple of minutes.

It’s interesting to me how indie gaming has started to really pop off at the same time there’s massive consolidation throughout the gaming industry. The ecosystem is really turning into blade runner, with these giant zaibatsu corps and a big wave of individuals.
"Programming is mostly about logic - that is why it is hard to visualise"

Maybe I understood it wrong, but I do not see that logic ...

Rather the opposite, since programming is about very strict defined logic - it is possible to visualize it very clearly. The various UML diagramms for example can do a good job with that.

The hard part, is to make tools, that generate the diagrams for you in a meaningful way automatically. Because generating them by hand, by dragging and clicking around somewhat works, but is apparently way less efficient than just writing the code. (and doing both is just double work)

UK: My daughter's class (6 yo) are all starting to test positive, no sign that the teachers have been hit yet though. The WhatsApp "Mum's group" is full of incidence.

I'm pretty sure idealogically valve are opposed to locking people into their ecosystem. They don't even make it so you can only play their own games with steam, and they allow you to add non-steam games to your library. They're a weird comapny in general, they have a pretty hardcore horizontal management system going on in their company which as I understand as an outsider is a big reason why they've struggled to bring stuff to market of late.

I bought a replacement $400 Canon printer recently. Same model, price is at least double what it was several years ago. The reason to buy the more expensive model is because there are readily available cheap third-party cartridges. A lot of the new cheaper models don't have that.
Because that's a lot more obscure. A better example might be asking something like "what's the difference between cache and RAM" or "what is a CPU register", which I'm starting to think will still catch objections from some people on the grounds of it not being relevant to Javascript.

Asking how GPS works (in general terms) is more like asking how the Internet works. Anyone who has "engineer" attached to their job title should at have a general understanding of this, or at least be able to work through it using common sense on the spot. I know we covered it early on in college (maybe in Physics, I forget).

Again, I'm not talking about low level details here. Something like "your phone measures the time it takes the signals to arrive and calculates a distance" indicates some understanding. From there, most people can figure out how that information could be used to calculate a 3d position.
Ostensibly, if those are necessary jobs, then they are already staffed.

Queensland. Wooden Houses on stumps, because tropics. Most people use under their house as a combo workspace, dumping ground, and in our case, washing-hanging-space.

You wind up boarding it up and turning it into "inside" space a lot of the time which is why "legal height under" is a thing in real estate ads here. The rise of AC made it less necessary to be ventilated under the floors. Also its about termites: modern build uses a concrete slab, less risk.
This might be specific to my tastes, but most of the games I play don't really have an "end" to playthroughs (and for the ones that do, it's very rare that I dedicate the time to play it start to finish without taking breaks to play other games, which usually drags playthroughs on for much longer than less casual players). And sometimes I just come back to old games years later for nostalgia.

Some of my most-played on Game Pass are Crusader Kings 3, ARK, Dragon Age, My Time at Portia, and No Man's Sky, which are basically what I go back to every time I resubscribe. But after getting up near a dozen months subscribed at $10/mo, I'm now really wishing I would have just dished out the cash earlier to buy the games instead, especially if I want to keep playing them over time. I'm very much in a sunk cost mindset though: "I've already paid to play the game so much, surely this month is the month I'll 'finish' it and get to stop paying, right? Therefore, I shouldn't pay full price to own it when I can just pay the $10..."

It's very much a digital Blockbuster all over again. There, too, I spent many more hundreds of dollars on repeatedly renting games that I should have just bought. But, like Blockbuster, Game Pass is really good for discovering new games because it's such a low cost to try anything in the library once.

I've been thinking about this for a while, and my proposal is pretty simple:

---

Legally - prohibit selling physical goods that contain digital locks unless the owner is given a key. Period.

---

That's all you have to do. If I own the device, I get the keys for the physical locks, and the keys for the digital locks.

I'm completely ok with manufacturers locking down computers for security, in much the same way that I appreciate that cars have door/ignition locks.

But if I own it - I get all the keys. I may never use them, but they are mine, as part of ownership.
Dwindling as in Tencent showing up with a bag of cash and buying a board seat when a studio hits whatever financial metrics they are tracking.

FWIW, I have heard they are hands-off and offer resources, like great groups for closed alphas.

The only concern I have is that they can become more hands on and excersie control over creative decisions in the future.

Personally, I value good stories from mid sized indy studios. The dominance of 2 engines can make things feel a bit homogenized. Pair a great story with another engine, and my interest is piqued.
Right. I guess you didn't see that those two clopen intervals are mathematically identical, even though they are representationally unequal.
> "a lot of people"

Depends what you mean by a lot of people, and what kind of alternative you have in mind. Tech folks want something open source, like the degoogle androids we already see. Non-tech folks don't care much about Android, they just want something that works and has all the apps. So it would be hard to have any real competition, considering even Microsoft had to pull the plug

The USPS probably would not survive in its current form in a free marketplace, where competitors could obtain equal access to mailbox deliveries. If they did survive, the service would become a pale imitation of its current offerings, because there would be an exodus of customers eager to try a viable alternative.

Anecdotally, I would be among the first in line to dump them, just as I would choose to dump every government monopoly if I had such a choice (e.g. fire, police, etc.). You know, the way things were back when citizens had a modicum of actual freedom, rather than the constant gaslighting that attempts to redefine our modern cultural slavery as "freedom".

Everything the government touches turns to the worst possible kind of shit.
Exactly. I feel like the costs of swapping out such components for better ones likely wouldn't exceed $200.

Maybe pwg is right and the discounted price with Windows is due to the paid pre-installed software. But that still leaves the customer with complete freedom to install something else on it.
Bare minimum:

1. Security updates/unattended upgrades

2. Sudo user (don't use root directly)

3. Log Rotation

4. SSH. Key based only. Ideally with a passphrase. No root login

5. Firewall. Only open ports that are needed (80,443 etc)

Then you can do other things as needed (private network etc).
This is hyperbole: if you are developing against web standards, most things work compatibly in all browsers now. In my experience, it's a bit more likely that you'll find a problem with Safari than Chrome or Firefox but not enormously so; the worst I've found are typically cases where someone only developed in Chrome and ended up relying on the non-standard API they started with rather than the final standard version.
From Nordic's POV, this is a safety issue, it affects the safety of their bottom line. Adding a browser would also compromise safety, again not the safety of the user but the safety of their bottom line.
I think not, because that would be a promise that the person would hold that office at least until a certain date. In reality, they may resign or pass away at any moment so you cannot make this claim. If there is such a property, "latest possible end date" might be better but that also does not work if an official can be appointed for another term. So really you can only claim some expected date as of this moment and you can question the value of that beyond being a signal that some piece of data is outdated.
> everyone getting something of tangible value

Paying $40k in taxes in exchange for a UBI of $35k is not "getting something of tangible value"—it's losing $5k. Those with low income (and thus low taxes) get something from UBI. Those with higher income do not. At the margin one might consider the difference to be something like a premium for unemployment insurance, but that only goes so far.

> Like I also make good money but that makes me care less rather than more about my tax burden.

If you really don't care about how much money you take home, why don't you switch to a lower-paying (but less stressful/demanding) job? Those taxes you claim you don't really care about represent unnecessary work put in relative to what you have to show for it at the end of the day.
More obedient and ruthless
This type of 'update' is one reason I tend to stay away from so-called 'smart' devices.

If part of the product I've paid for is software, and the company can update it without customer consent at any time, then I can't rely on the product's features. Period.

I experienced this myself on the PS4 version of Terraria. I bought a hard-copy of the game. I mastered the controls, and loved them. Terraria was updated one day, and the controls were all changed, completely. Total rip-off. I liked the game I bought, but it was replaced without my consent.

My feeling is that this behavior should be illegal for purchased products.
Ah yes, Payconiq, which only works on a small subset of walled garden devices. As opposed to a cheap card which fits in anyone's wallet. A proton payment was essentially two button presses, card selection + OK. It only added delay because some terminals were slow or weren't very user friendly. Paying with Payconiq in a shop isn't any faster than Proton. Someone (or something) still has to decide which payment method is going to be used. And quite frankly, if two seconds is too much friction for a physical payment, I hope you never find yourself in a shop when the Payconiq system is down.
> Those interviewed in the article seemed to imply reading a book or watching TV was a grand pleasure. I'm disagreeing with that sentiment.

Right, but that's not really the point of the article. It's not positing a debate over whether or not people exist who would be uncomfortable curving their neck while running or walking. The article doesn't really care about that debate. It's asking whether or not people should have control of the products they buy.

Imagine there's an article about a blender that stops working without manufacturer-approved ingredients, and someone says, "well I hate all of the recipes that people are making that aren't approved and I think they taste gross, so I don't understand what this article is about." In that scenario, we understand that the blender article is about consumer rights, not recipe tips, and whether or not someone personally likes what people are doing with their products isn't really important to that conversation.

The treadmill article is about consumer rights, not ergonomics.
Yet people need housing and healthcare, which is ever increasing in price.
For as long as this blog is, one thing that's missing is a discussion of multipath errors. Multipath errors are when the GPS signal reflects off of buildings or mountains, giving the illusion that the satellite is further away than it is. This is why it can sometimes be hard to get a precise location in cities.

Nah. I'm saying put your money where your mouth is. If that's too adult of a proposition, shut up.
