Then, while I'm not convinced it is anywhere near as separable as you believe, at the very least the book metaphor completely fails to capture the ability to distribute modifications as a first-class entity existing on its own, in this case, block lists and other HTML modification instructions, that can result in millions of people getting the "same" modification in their hands.

I called this the "patch hole" in the law over 20 years ago, in analogy to the Unix patch tool, and I still don't think I've seen a legal system cleanly grapple with what it means to be able to distribute modifications on their own. It is a qualitatively different process and result than having to distribute modified versions directly. It rather directly faces a deontology vs. consequentialism question... if two different processes (distributing changed contents directly vs. distributing patches to an end user and providing combination software) produce the exact same end results, on what basis will the law decide that one is OK and the other is not, since allowing people to distribute change lists provides an effective 100% workaround to the existing illegality of distributing changed works?

I'm not trying to offer an answer here, I'm merely trying to establish that talking about "books" isn't going to give a good grasp on this situation. The metaphor simply doesn't work. It's far too simple to capture too many relevant issues.

TCP Fast Open was created for a reason.
There is this open source CloudSeed reverb, which has a C++ and C# version, I prefer the C++ one. With some knob fiddling it gets closer to infinite reverbs, like in Valhalla and Strymon Big Sky clouds.

Just like that -- they're in the metaverse!
Yes exactly - it should meet the current standard for anti-trust action that it hurts consumers. It's quite sad that this is not enforced at all anymore apparently.
I'm not sure what market cap has to do with it? BHP Billiton is an _actual_ commodity (mining) company with a market cap similar to AMD [1]

GPUs aren't commodities in the traditional sense, it's more of a figure of speech to convey how interchangeable and standardized GPUs are nowadays.

Because while telling everyone they were going to pay for the trillions in stimulus via taxing the rich (spoiler: they wont), they had to include things to actually increase revenue and tax enforcement on the middle class while saying you're going to help them isn't a great campaign strategy.
Not only does Germany have copyright, it is the reason why Disney was able to bully around the US into the last major copyright term extension.

On a more meta note, I'm noticing a pattern where people figure that jurisdictional or cultural differences constitute such a dramatic difference that "insert crazy copyright law here" is just assumed to not apply in their local jurisdiction, or that it will never apply to them. It will. There might be cases where you do have cultural differences, but copyright isn't one of them. Copyright enjoys deep international consensus on almost every issue, and the only practical differences between jurisdictions are things like:

- Should copyright terms be long (life+50), extra-long (life+70), or practically forever (up to life+100)?

- Should authors be allowed to unwind licensing agreements and copyright transfers?

- Can an author intentionally destroy their own copyright interest in a work? Or does "public domain" only include works whose copyright has naturally expired?

- Do authors enjoy moral rights to their work? If so, can those rights be waived or not?

- Do online services need to proactively filter content in order to avoid copyright liability, or is merely offering no-questions-asked takedowns to copyright owners enough?

- Do you need to register your copyright in order to sue?

Y'know, things "on the margins" of copyright.

It's important not to understate how ridiculously radical the stereotypical hacker position on copyright is. Even avowed Communists were willing to continue a watered-down copyright regime[0] despite having a legal system that specifically considered profit to be a form of exploitation and regularly charged people with things like "social parasitism". The kinds of people here who would like to see copyright abolished or reformed into oblivion are, in one sense at least, "to the left[1] of Soviet Russia". Everywhere else, people hold copyright as a base assumption. This includes "America", "the Anglosphere", "the West", and any other division you want to talk about to make your point that you don't think the law applies when it does.

[0] Strictly speaking, I've been told by actual Russian emigrants who lived under Soviet rule that copyright wasn't a thing people worried about until the fall of Communism. However, this is also concomitant with copyright interests in capitalist countries being increasingly worried about consumer-level copyright infringement. What I do know is that the laws on the books did exist, but I suspect they were only used against state-owned publishing enterprises, as that would fit in with the general ideas behind Socialist law better.

The Soviets were actually worried about the masses copying music before the RIAA was. However, this had less to do with copyright and more to do with censorship: before the 1970s importing western music was hella illegal. There actually were bootleg music copying rings at that time; they'd copy the music onto makeshift vinyl records made out of old X-ray prints.

[1] Insamuch as "left" without additional qualifiers is even a meaningful term at that point.

So I am going through this process with my mother who is organizing photos. I asked her the intended audience and a lot of it is for posterities sake.

My next questions were then how do you arrange a project for the intended audience (context and information is important as random photos of people 100 years from now won't have much value). And then how do you create it so the paper book lasts for 100 + years.

Your idea on Blurb was was interesting to me. Do you know the quality of the paper of the book will survive a long time or did you look into that? Also what reasons did you settle on Blurb (if you don't mind me asking)?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction - I was about to suggest printing out individual copies and putting them in classic photograph book with plastic covers and adding her own blurbs.
Just because something valuable can also be exploited by greedy capitalists does not stop it from being valuable.

There are some legitimate reasons to be wary of the push for mindfulness -- for example, when it is pushed by employers to try and increase employee satisfaction and retention, in lieu of actually improving their quality of life -- but that certainly doesn't mean the practice itself is bad.

It's unfortunate what happened to your niece but the situation has clouded your rationality.

A parent wouldn't let an 11 year old go to a frat party. They wouldn't let them go unsupervised to a concert. Most probably wouldn't leave their children home alone for a week. So why in the fuck do their kids have unfettered Internet access? Do they also let the kid just go to anyone's house without at least knowing who that friend is?

How would unencrypted messages preventing grooming of your niece? Her parents should be checking on her devices the same as they'd want to know who her friends were and where she was when not at home. A phone or Facebook is not a babysitter and certainly not a parent.

If E2EE was banned or restricted what at all would have changed with your niece? If she was groomed on completely unencrypted IRC what would be different? If she was groomed by some friend's older relative what would be different? Her parents failed at several occasions to actually parent her. Restrictions or banning E2EE wouldn't make them more capable parents.
Should insider trading be legal if it is done to survive?

At least in my region, the ACLU has sued and won a ruling saying that cops can't ticket people sleeping rough if the shelters are full/not accepting people.

This is an ok article. It's not much of a "how to" but it points out the drawbacks of using Selenium rather than scraping "the hard way" (i.e. with site-specific hacks, observing network traffic, etc). It's helpful to see how the "pros" do it.
It really feels like Microsoft is trying to basically create the "Netflix" of gaming here, and I think that just like Netflix they're going to see a lot of success as basically being the first to market to do so, and other companies are going to be left scrambling. The acquisition email mentioned that activision has 400 million "monthly active players", mimicing the language of MAU that is the current trend right now. The goal is to get 1/2 a billion people giving them $10 a month on gamepass, not to get 1 time purchases for $60 every 5 years when a new Elder Scrolls title ships.

I think that this should really put some fear in Valve and I'm not sure what their play is from here. I know that Steam has a lot of goodwill built up but it feels like they've just coasted on Steam for so long, and it was inevitable that the larger players would look at their fat 30% cut for so little work and decide that wasn't going to last. A lot of people thought that Bethesda games would keep coming out for Playstation when the acquisition was first announced, and after it closed MS confirmed that going forward future title would be exclusive to them. I can't see any reason to this this will different, and especially just making these titles available through gamepass alone, not in a launcher or as a separate purchase. Do people think that Microsoft is spending tens of billions just to make sure that Valve can get a 30% cut on sales of COD and Fallout? It's like saying that Netflix is going to let Disney+ carry Stranger Things, because hey, Disney would pay them money to do so. Valve is like the cable company right now, someone else makes the content and they provide the delivery of it and skim off the top. Now that you have competing and more convenient delivery services, its going to be a lot harder to exist. Where do they go from here?
> As a point of order, is a non-citizen the same thing as a legal immigrant?

No, noncitizens include nonimmigrants in legal status and aliens in illegal status.

> I assume legal-immigrant means one has obtained citizenship.

No, it does not. In US law an “immigrant” is an alien present in the US other than one legally admitted under a designated nonimmigrant status.

A citizen is just a citizen.
Are those numbers directly comparable? Autosteer, etc. are only used in clear weather conditions with good lane markings. Obviously automated systems will work better in those conditions, but so do humans. But humans drive in all conditions.
I honestly thought this was fake news when my wife told me that this was happening some months ago.

One of the things I love about GPS is: Since you know your exact position, you can pick a good GPS satellite (one of the satellite's you're using to calculate your position), look at the timestamp from that satellite, and use it as a highly-accurate time source!

Purpose-built GPS time servers (like those from Meinberg) give you an option to enter the length of the coax cable connecting the receiver and the antenna, so that it can correct for the extra time it takes for the signal to travel over the cable (for example, see https://www.meinbergglobal.com/download/docs/manuals/english... page 19).
It can definitely be seen as a feature.

TBH I just check my favourite blogs manually from time to time.

There is little information available on what was actually going on inside Intel. All big companies have big problems and each single division or working group is not indicative of the company as a whole. You can find several people with good and bad experience painting all kinds of pictures. A single voice won't tell you the whole picture. Probable even the leaders of Intel don't really know exactly where they are standing.

Of course all companies go through cycles of explosive growth, ossification and renewal. Small companies often die because too much of the company goes sour at the same time. In big companies this can be more spread out over time and space and there's always enough left to rebuild the leadership from the inside and push out new profitable products in time.

That being said I don't have any indication that Intel right now is in a particularly good position. Nobody in the engineering area seems to feel too honored for having worked at Intel. Yet, they got 10nm finally working and continue to rake in money. Of great concern to me is that much of that money is paid out to investors instead of reinvesting it into the company. There doesn't seem to be a convincing plan of growing the business in the future. Also they did not admit that they have a serious problem at their hands for a long time. You just can't trust anything that Intel releases; it's just a rosy projection of the future when everything goes as planned.

Unless a group of senior Ex-Intel get together and tell their war-stories we won't know what actually was going on inside.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a nvim + LSP + treesitter user. :)
You can come to America (and most countries, I imagine) on a work visa, student visa, etc without becoming a citizen. These people are now able to vote in New York.

I think the confusion is around the term "immigrant". I agree that immigration implies a permanent move - i.e. you become a citizen of where you are immigrating to. However, I think most people (and media) use "immigrant" as a catch-all for someone who currently lives in country X but was not born there.

You do realise that we had right to repair in the 80's? Domestic appliances, cars and tractors did not contain computers. There was no firmware. The whole issue comes from abuse of IT laws to destroy our individual right to personal property.

There is no 'copyright' on mechanical parts, anyone is free to make a copy, and you are free to buy them from anyone.

Even if a part is patented (which is a small percentage), the patent law spesifically allows anyone to build anything for personal use.

If I have to repair my toaster, and it contains a microcontroller, then I can buy that microcontroller but not the firmware. The firmware belongs to the manufacturer, even if all it does is have a time to eject bread. So my toaster is unrepairable if that chip dies. That toaster could never be patented, beucase there is nothing innovative.
Not sure if it's objective.

Right now I have some cash but also there is a semiconductor shortage. There are decision more complex than just 'replace'. I have an gaming laptop with a 1070 gfx card that has unstable USB 3 and crashes sometimes - I like to blame the worthless Intel integrated graphics.

If I could solidly make up my mind between "get another laptop" or "get a really awesome desktop" I might pull the trigger on either one. As it is, "repair" for the laptop would be replacing the motherboard which may or may not solve the problem.

Similarly I have 3 TVs in the house, two of which were gifts, one of which has a burned out power supply I could probably fix for about $30. The two working ones are just fine, but I'd like a modern 4K TV with OLED and high dynamic range. Of course, to really take advantage of the 4K I'd need to get a bigger TV and then move furniture around to find a place to put it. Maybe the place would get more glare from the window and efface the benefits of HDR. I really should try to replace the power supply on the Visio because it is value engineered. It's pretty thick so it has room for internal speakers better than some sound bars. It has just two HDMI ports but they've survived for years -- Sony, Samsung and similar brands will put 6 HDMI ports on a premium TV or home theater receiver that are not properly electrically shielded and it's open secret that they have so many of them because they burn out. I hate what Samsung is doing in the "smart TV" space.

So these feelings of resentment cause me to not buy things.

In photography the gear I want is often not available at all. (I want a stereo lens for my camera, they are all sold out with no availability date. I am wondering if there is a patent war on these too.)

I discovered after six months of heavy use of my old printer that the ink starts to fade in six months. I ordered a printer with pigment-based ink but it is still on the boat from Asia.

I think my telephoto lens is a bit unreliable, there are some nice new lenses for Sony cameras that are meant for sports photography, hypothetically I want one, but it's hard for me to make up my mind...
Commercial games aren't made to make everyone happy.

No game release is a "positive for everyone" and never will be.

I can equally argue that my neighbor baking bread is not positive for me, because I don't get to eat it. And I like bread...
>That's why, paradoxically, in countries much poorer than the US/UK/Aus/NZ, you see much better building quality because their finance systems are also less developed.

In 'Why we talk' (https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Talk-Evolutionary-Evolution/dp...) Dessalles arguments that we have two modes of talking - the first one is visual and probabilistic, the second one is topological - that is concerned about zero one questions - like if something is inside or outside of something. The first one is about imagining situations and judging their salience (or improbability). The second is about argumenting - simplifying the information so that you can 'proove' stuff. The point is that visuals are too rich and there can be too many ways to imagine things - so it is hard to convince someone that a particular scene is wrong or right. When you simplify things to the topological level of question if something is inside something or outside - then you can use inference to arrive at some logical conclusions, with steps so obvious that it is hard to argument against them.

Programming is mostly about logic - that is why it is hard to visualise. I think this is the problem with 'visual programming languages' (like https://enso.org/ - which, disclosure, is in my investmet porfolio) - and also here. This is kind of surprising - because we naturally expect the visuals to be as rich as the logic. But we need to carefully think about what is complementary here.
I think jayd16's point is that everybody knows that casinos are negative sum and have for a long time. But still, they continue to exist. So we can't assume, as ravar does, that in the long run the market will eliminate negative-sum things.

Workers and their families are getting sick in droves.

I hate how headlines like this loosely frame it as a problem with workers. It's like the "worker shortage" kind of garbage... we've got plenty of workers in most sectors, but there's a shortage of companies willing to pay what they're asking. Why is it never a "wage shortage"?

Realistically, how is this different from logging login attempts? If the device is configured to attach to the company network isn't it within the company's rights to know that a device is logged on at any given time even under GDPR? Or would it be the publication of that information - even internally - that would be the issue?

He's obviously speaking as a consumer.
If I was CEO of Activision/Blizzard, and I was getting millions or billions from the buyout, obviously my opinion would be different to that of the consumer that's affected by this.
There was an interesting comment on HN a while ago to the effect that "I have personally seen one team laid off and another kept, while everyone agreed that the laid-off team was performing better, because the rent on the building they were in was more expensive".

“Hey, Alexa Are you trustworthy?”
They’re bypassing the fees, primarily, not the reporting.
Firstly, I'm not concerned with being downvoted. Reminding people of the reality we actually live in isn't always popular. People enjoy being outraged and love to hate on big companies like Activision, yet they will and do continue to buy their products in massive numbers. There is a disconnect between what the public says and what they actually do.
