Because I haven’t seen the Google or Amazon proposal to ditch it. Perhaps they’ve written them and I don’t know about them, but I’m not aware of them.

We do lots of things that are hard because doing them right is often more important than doing them easily. Switching from ASCII from UTF-8 was a pain, but we did it. Software upgrades are a pain. Security infrastructure is a pain. Timezones are OMG such a pain. But in all those cases, we collectively said “welp, guess we’ve gotta do it”.

And what Facebook notably didn’t propose was a way to actually make this happen. Who’s going to project manage the global coordinated effort to migrate the planet to Facebook Time? That sounds like much more work than them just fixing their time handling.

>Your interest on your mortgage is tax free, the government offers cash back, etc.

I have no idea what "the governments offers cash back" means; but certainly the mortgage interest tax deduction is only available for homes in which you actually live for at least part of the year - it's not available for rental properties.

You can deduct mortgage interest as an expenses if you're renting a property, but that's exactly the same as any other loan used for a business activity and not specific to real-estate.

>Honest question: How could they claim damages from someone to whom they've granted permission?

That's actually the underlying rationale here, although it isn't explained well in the linked page. There is the possibility of an implied patent license grant (or waiver) from the licensor in a license that is silent about patent rights, for exactly the reason you state.

But CC0 is different, in that it grants permission to use while simultaneously being explicit that there is no implied patent license (or waiver) granted.
That seems familiar —

Umm, yeah.. Sure. Yes. Definitely.

... That's really nice to hear, thank you :)
Not so much reserves as declares out of scope.

CC0 is a public domain dedication, with fallback license for jurisdictions where public domain dedication is not possible. The public domain dedication part is not a license (this was a large part of the legal criticism of the awfully-named Unlicense: that it tried to be both a public domain dedication and a license, despite the two being incompatible), and so cannot do anything with trademark or patent rights.

If you want to cover trademark or patent rights, you’ll have to use a public-domain-equivalent license instead of a public domain dedication. This is where things like 0BSD come in. (With this latest thing, I think I’m going to change my primary recommendation in https://chrismorgan.info/blog/unlicense/ to 0BSD rather than CC0.)
I always wonder about these sorts of comments. Do you think sources for these easily-googleable facts don't exist, or that the pretty uncontroversial events I'm talking about didn't happen? Am I supposed to somehow be argued down by having to post a couple links? Or is this just a way to shift the conversation to discrediting the particular links I reply with, instead of engaging with the actual issues I'm bringing up?

Anyway. Here's the WH Disinformation Governance Board: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation_Governance_Boar... This is the CA gun-ad law: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/gun-groups-challenge-califo...

As for it being just the unrelated actions of large corporations and not Democrats per se... Well, the White House part kind of disproves that, as does the California law. Yes, large corporations do act independently of the Democratic party, but the question here is does the Democratic party want this sort of censorship against other people, and they self-evidently do. And the WH Disinformation board shows that they're happy to use the large corporations as their tools to get it.

> The problem is that UTC, despite its name, is not a time.

Could you elaborate on what you mean? What is UTC if not a time? Like, datetimes vs time?

Even if Unix time was based on TAI, you'd still need leap seconds in order to resolve the correct local time (which is based of even-minute offsets of UTC). Maybe it's easier to deal with in calculation post-hoc vs smearing on the day of, but that handful-of-accruing-seconds will always be there.
> In the ideal world, people should be empowered to be able to retrieve what they are looking for when they need it (people pull and filter information, rather than being pushed information).

I think we as engineers are biased to think that people can/should pull information out of the ether and then reason about what's best for them by rationally going through the pros and cons of a product. The thing is, not everybody acts and thinks in that way. Many people (even engineers) are more likely to be swayed by emotion and stories, hence marketing.

However, I do think marketing has gone overboard nowadays. Every possible place you look or listen is filled with advertising. I've started reading books again in the past few months and one thing I love is knowing that when I turn the page, there isn't going to be a distracting ad trying to vie for my attention.
whether you like it or not, people are using facebook (and google, and amazon, and so on) as critical infrastructure.

We have a similar issue here in Canada, but with one very troublesome addition: foreign investors.

First it was for money laundering but now (in addition) increasingly it’s “regular people” in foreign countries who are seeing each neighbourhood explode in popularity, thinking that if they buy the rental income is how they will feed their families. They have no idea that the prices are simply inflated and unsustainable, let alone that they are most likely buying an unliveable property sight unseen.

The net result is that each speculative group is boosting the other as they race for the sky and leave all the renters on the ground.
Patent grants don't seem like they're worth much anyway. They don't stop a third party from coming along and suing you and the original developer for supposedly violating some patent neither of you knew ever existed. And isn't that how all patent trolling plays out? I've never heard of a patent troll that starts out with the troll giving you CC0 licensed code and waiting for you to trip over the patents they neglected to mention earlier.
Not a lawyer but: is there any case law in which the act of open-source licensing in a not-explicitly-retaining-patent-rights way was found to be a de facto, or implied, waiver of patent rights? https://patentdefenses.klarquist.com/waiver/ points out some situations in which one could implicitly waive patent rights, but specifically in the context of lying to standards-setting organizations, it would seem?

If a license has never been considered an implicit waiver, it seems overkill to say that "a license that says nothing about rights is materially better than a license that explicitly does not waive rights," no?
If every house has an ADU, then the effective number of housing units in that area has been doubled, putting downwards pressure on housing prices.

If people bought their houses anticipating high rental income to make ends meet, that's a separate problem, and less bad than "people are becoming homeless because there are too few housing units".

Road/car dominance wasn’t exactly established in a free market either.

There’s a whole host of subsidies for building/maintaining roads paid for by everyone [1]. There’s the regulatory advantages driving has (ex: the common zoning requirement that new construction ensure enough parking space [2]). There’s the negative externalities of highways/roadways.

Yep. The answer here is that Hulu should probably run the ads. Free speech is more than an amendment, it's a social value that should be respected by everyone, not just the government. I'm sure I'd disagree with every one of these ads but I would still like to see them run, because allowing people I don't like to speak is what protects MY right to speak.
Please don’t use the Unlicense. It’s at least as bad as CC0. If it works as a public domain dedication (which was its purpose, but lawyerly consensus seems to be that it failed at that and would be interpreted as a license) then it is in exactly the same boat as CC0, and if it works as a license, I see no scope at all for even an implied patent grant, and it explicitly speaks of copyright law as its scope (part of the failed PDD parts of the license), so it should still be in the same boat as CC0. (The only possible argument for any difference is that Unlicense would allow you to slightly more credibly plead ignorance, which seems a fairly absurd argument to me.) See https://chrismorgan.info/blog/unlicense/ for some more info and suggestions. (I do need to mull over the specific recommendations, as another point rises against CC0 specifically, and frankly the concept of public domain dedication in general.) As a starting suggestion, go with 0BSD, which is at least better-drafted than Unlicense and legally unambiguous.
That's the age old Hacker News fairy tale of the "fair and balanced reviews" approach to marketing.

Businesses don't need to advertise! We'll find their products and generate word of mouth! Yeah, I'm sure people who put their livelihood at risk by starting a new business are going to entirely trust that to happen.

Look, there's a lot of marketing scams. We know.

But until someone here stops whining for a minute and explains to me how they would start a business with nothing they would call "marketing" I'll keep being very dismissive of clueless engineers who could not sell something to save their lives but who happily work at fucking Google (or something that feeds off of it) and criticize whole disciplines they've never practiced or studied.

Canadian here who is in favour of truly punitive vacancy taxes. Our housing crisis has been ignored for decades and now drastic action is required on a number of fronts, including combating vacancy (I'd also like to see zoning laws and development objections in urban areas die in a fire). The issue is now so acute I'd be in favour of vacancy taxing any address in major metros that isn't someone's filing address with CRA. At the very least the owner should need to demonstrate there is a long term, legal tenant at any address CRA didn't get a filing from.

Vancouver tried, but I don't think they aimed high enough; many speculators just view the tax as the cost of doing business and subtracted it from their gains. At least it's up to 3% now; the 1% initial was way too small.

Added bonus if we measure vacancy right it will kill the short term air bnb market at the same time. I have no issue with people renting their home out a few weeks a year while they are on vacation for some extra cash, but it's heinous there are apartments owned solely for short term rental when tons of people can't afford homes.

More capital per productive worker isn't really a bad thing for the individual worker, IMO. Most of the 'time bomb' is the liablities time bomb for social security / medicare and other entitlements to the elderly. They expect the young to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and voted for policies to destroy the young, so you could say it would be fair play to vote to cut off social security and medicare to the elderly and let them pick themselves up by their own bootstraps so we can avoid the liabilities time bomb.

The problem is that there are hardware devices and software applications, which compute UT1 (the angle of the mean Sun) from UTC and from dUT1 (which are transmitted both on various communication channels, e.g. by radio stations) and all those expect that dUT1 is a number between 0 and 1 seconds.

If dUT1 can become either negative or larger than 1, all such hardware and software must be reviewed and possibly upgraded, to no longer make assumptions about dUT1.

Communication protocols may have to be changed, if there is no way to encode a negative dUT1.

> What places are those where sky-high rent doesn't offset the benefit? I can think of a few places, but rents are $500 more than a mortgage here, let alone rent.

What are average salaries like, though? Cities are complicated because while rent is higher wages are often massively higher to compensate, although telework has complicated this a bit lately. Since cars aren’t any cheaper in low cost of living areas, that baseline cost is often harder to swing on lower income.

Not spending the U.S. average of $11+k/year to own a car also gives you an extra thousand a month for rent, which goes a long way even in the most expensive cities, and not needing to pay for parking often allows a hefty reduction in housing expenses in many cases, too, especially with more employers offering cash alternatives to their parking spaces.

I feel like academic freedom matters a lot less than it used to. Academia used to be a place where intellectuals lived in relative austerity in return for the freedom to pursue intellectual pursuits.

That made sense to me. Academic freedom in that context mattered.

Academia is now a political race, rife with fraud to gain advantage, odd conflicts-of-interest, and extreme biases. You get tenure by sucking up so you have strong letters. From there, the elites are extremely over-capitalized, which leads to financial fraud too (my alma mater has an endowment of around $30M per faculty member). NDAs and non-disparage agreements are used to shut people up (at least below tenured-faculty level) who step out-of-line and to cover up fraud.

In most modern elite academia, I don't really see a case for academic freedom. If there was something I'd want, it's more oversight and checks-and-balances.

I do see it as important in K-12 education, community colleges, and some state schools (someone mentioned UMass; that's a good example). Indeed, providing real academic freedom is just about the best thing we could do for free to improve K-12 education.
I vaguely remember there being some laws that if you run political ads you have to give equal air time (if asked) or something like that. I would think if so you could not block one side of a topic but allow another.

Ancient Romans spent as much as 80% of their state budget on the military.

I've been there. I was staying up way too late and when I did sleep I'd be laying in bed for hours before I finally dozed off. I had things I wanted to do, but since I didn't have the energy to do them I started feeling worse, which left me with less energy. You're describing a classic cycle of ADHD depression.

I fixed mine by jolting myself out of my routine. I went back to school. I suddenly had a whole new batch of problems and dealing with new problems that felt immediate was what I needed.

For you, based on what I know now (I'm in my 40s), I have some advice:

- put the coding project down for now. Don't make that the thing you ought to be doing. Put your notebooks in a box and the code in an archived folder.

- get outside. Go for walks. Find a hiking trail. Listen to some podcasts. Walk at least a mile every day. Use that as thinking/meditation time

- stop getting high. The best way I've heard it said was from someone in my support group: "getting high makes you ok with being bored." That's killing a lot of your motivation.

- Work very hard on getting good sleep. This is the hardest and I never really figured it out until my late 30s, but good sleep will fix most of your issues. Unfortunately, getting good sleep is difficult. You need to mentally and physically exhaust yourself daily, and it sounds like you're doing neither. Start by trying to physically exhaust yourself, whether it's the gym or something else. Expand from there.

If you'd like more help, feel free to DM me. I've been where you are, and it sucks. You can find contact info in my bio. Good luck!
