> But no one is meant to volunteer for more work than they’re given.

To use your own words, I'm not sure where this idea came from. Any manager will absolutely expect you to tell them when you've completed your assigned tasks. No one wants the employee they have to keep checking in with to make sure they haven't completed their current assignment and are now sitting around staring at their cubicle wall instead of telling anyone.
And we all know there's no way actors could get that top job....
Are "one job at a time" clauses unenforceable?
Consumer: Because it’s easier to do nothing than put a sticker on once a year.

VC: what if we charged people $20/month for something they used to get for free, times 15 million cars in CA? And we can sell ads, and track them, and sell that, and when it goes nation wide… (chokes on own drool from possibilities)
Subtitles can be auto-generated. Screenplays, not really.
From what I can tell, Session does not have any Wired or TechCrunch articles written about it. Signal does have such articles in the original wikipedia entry.

Well more recently we have startups like Shopify and Wealthsimple? D-Wave is also Canadian. Canadian game studios produce some of the most critically acclaimed titles, studios like Relic, BioWare, Eidos-Montreal, etc - admittedly many of these were either started as subsidiaries or have since been acquired, but the talent absolutely exists in Canada.

As someone else has mentioned, Canada has 1/10th the population of the USA, less still compared to the EU, and about 1/2th of the UK. I wouldn't say we do badly...
SCO v. IBM[1] included claims of sections as small as "…ranging from five to ten to fifteen lines of code in multiple places that are of issue…" in some of the individual claims of the case.

If all that is desired is the spoken text, most subtitle sites have fairly accurate copies of the official subtitles or even better than original subtitles for stuff that is very popular. For instance sometimes I see homophones for the correct words or abbreviated text versions for rapidly spoken speech even in the official subtitles for streaming shows. Websites like subscene.com and opensubtitles.org are pretty active.
I'm actually fine with both. I think copyright/IP related to software needs to be toned down a lot. Software patents abolished.

In my opinion the only thing that should be an infringement regarding code is copying entire non trivial files or entire projects outright.

A 100 line snippet should not be copyrighteable. Only the entire work, which you could think as the composition of many of those snippets.
Not sure of the sources for this site but FYI; the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscars) has a screenplay library (they collect internationally and like to get different versions of them, from initial drafts to shooting scripts), there are also libraries that collect screenplays that are affiliated with other film or TV academies (and internationally) or film schools. Screenplays are also often given considerable distribution during awards season, even posted on special "for your consideration" websites that the film production companies setup each year.
This is funny to me because this particular distinction between the two forms of the drug is a decades out of date bit of racist drug war propaganda that was widely spread through TV news. I'm not sure if that says anything about the relative risks of these media formats, but it's grimly funny.
VR isn't going to catch on the way Facebook did unless there's a compelling reason. Games are the best way to create the buzz and demand, but the price of the tech has to be a lot cheaper. None of that is happening right now. Zuck may just have been a few generations to early.

Intellectual property stands out. Who owns your code, your patents? Is the work Alice does for Bob prior art to invalidate a patent Alice filed working with Carol? How do Bob and Carol know and prove in court they own Alice's work and not the other?

One simple answer: they know because Alice signed an employment contract assigning all IP to them, and foregoing any other employment.

There are a ton of other reasons: Alice could be party to both sides of a vendor relationship or acquisition. Alice could be short changing the jobs expecting 40 hours of her time each but only getting 30 or less. Alice could be working for competitors, where having access to Bob's datasets helps her work with Carol disproportionately and without his knowledge or consent.

> Most employees just wanna earn enough to retire

I mean, you presumably also want to retire, and not lose your job, and not go to jail. Maybe even do some good work?

If you take a reductive point of view, everything in life – school applications, job interviews, business deals, legal battles, courtship, .... – involves some amount of self promotion and every form of social proof can be gamed/hacked to some degree.

(For example, in 2005 Google made up a brand new prize to award to Ruby on Rails creator David Heinemeier Hansson expressly for the purpose of padding out his O-1 visa application to move to the USA. Does that mean the O-1 visa requirements/criteria are bullshit? Maybe.)

(a) Wikipedia notability guidelines can certainly be gamed to some extent by motivated self-promoters who are willing to jump through hoops to place their pet topics in newspaper articles, research papers, published books, etc.

(b) Sometimes Wikipedia ends up rejecting topics that should be included based on a lack of sufficient third-party write-ups in secondary sources.

But Wikipedia still has to have some kind of guideline to prevent itself from being flooded with self-promotion spam, and the current notability guidelines and reliable source guidelines work better than many suggested alternatives.

<< It will never be possible for people to verify that their Lego blocks of finance are actually robust.

Eh. Tbh, I am not sure what robust means in this context. From what I have seen so far, a ridiculously high amount of finance moves through simple text files ( once you get down to that level ). From technical perspective, it is not hard to mess with ACH, but there are levels of compliance enforced by live humans that keep it together.

I do think I agree with your conclusion though. The most ossified piece wins.
I firmly believe that GitHub Copilot isn't a replacement for thinking, breathing, reasoning developers on the other side of the keyboard. Nor is it a replacement for best practices that ensure proper code quality like linting, code reviews, testing, security audits, etc.

All the research suggests that AI-assisted auto-complete merely helps developers go faster with more focus/flow. For example, there's an NYU study that compared security vulnerabilities produced by developers with and without AI-assistend auto-complete. The study found that developers produced the same number of potential vulnerabilities whether they used AI auto-complete or not. In other words, the judgement of the developer was the stronger indicator of code quality.

The bottom line is that your expertise matters. Copilot just frees you up to focus on the more creative work rather than fussing over syntax, boilerplate, etc.
Office birthday parties are the perfect analogy for the hollow, “happy” facade that Meta has presented thus far.

Hi coauthor here!

Work has been steady the master project plan is tracked in this ticket: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/17957

Almost all the recent work has been performed by Dominik Peteler (@mmhat) during Google summer of code, which John supervised. We've primarily been focused on landing !8341[0] which makes huge strides in Core w.r.t. modularity (see https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21872), but are on hold until schedules agree and some vacations end.

So the modularity project is far from dead. In fact Sylvain and I are planning on returning to it after we upstream the new Javascript backend (slated for 9.6, see MR!9133[1], tracking ticket[2]) hopefully this week.

PS: That patch is actually a good example of a gnarly lung transplant for GHC's Core IR (and done by a new contributor!).

I’m not so sure about that.

The scenes à faire doctrine would certainly let you paint your own picture of a pretty girl with a large earring, even a pearl one. That, however, is definitely the same person, in the same pose/composition, in the same outfit. The colors are slightly off, but the difference feels like a technical error rather than an expressive choice.

On it's own, that would be fine! Nobody expects criminals to stop innovating on crime; it's fundamentally an arms race. The problem is not the unending process itself, but the flawed (and conceited) belief that cryptocurrencies don't have to solve the same problems.
Who thought people don't like to use a volatile "coin" to pay groceries?
Probably about as ethical as it is to agree to one with the intent of breaking such a clause.
The "..." part you redacted out explicitly said "it is many different sections of code". It was (quite obviously) not one or two 5-line blocks of code, let alone "simple" ones like FizzBuzz.
Higher rates reduce affordability in the short term because housing prices aren't falling correspondingly.
Honestly Georgism looks like a perfect fit here. "Market" rent going through the roof like you say, while occupancy stays low? Enjoy paying 1000$+ every month on a vacant flat you're making no money off. I.e.: double-dip pressure for prices to fall and/or occupancy to rise.
Thankfully, Stable Diffusion is on thousands of hard drives, so the genie can't be put back in the bottle.
Many people don't have NCAs (I don't). Also they are often specifically prohibiting working for a competitor company, so working in a different industry wouldn't be a violation
> n those cases, it seems like not such a leap to say that the AI has obviously seen that artist’s work and that the output is a derivative work.

"Copying" a style is not a derivative work:

> Why isn't style protected by copyright? Well for one thing, there's some case law telling us it isn't. In Steinberg v. Columbia Pictures, the court stated that style is merely one ingredient of expression and for there to be infringement, there has to be substantial similarity between the original work and the new, purportedly infringing, work. In Dave Grossman Designs v. Bortin, the court said that:

> "The law of copyright is clear that only specific expressions of an idea may be copyrighted, that other parties may copy that idea, but that other parties may not copy that specific expression of the idea or portions thereof. For example, Picasso may be entitled to a copyright on his portrait of three women painted in his Cubist motif. Any artist, however, may paint a picture of any subject in the Cubist motif, including a portrait of three women, and not violate Picasso's copyright so long as the second artist does not substantially copy Picasso's specific expression of his idea."

Generally speaking, in most states in the US, it would not be permissible to prohibit moonlighting for an unrelated second employer in an employment contract. There are exceptions, but in general, this is the case.

It is, however, also the case that employers can require you to inform them in advance of any moonlighting, they can demand an opportunity to vet the moonlighting to verify that it is legitimately unrelated and that you are not being hired by the second employer due to a desire to gain either and trade secrets or any favors relating to the first employer (or any other similar potential conflict of interest), and they can require that you deliver the same workload for them that you would in the event that you did not do any moonlighting.

Of course, actually going through the whole officially-saying-you-are-moonlighting process is tedious, annoying, and can lead to conflicts with the first employer (especially since they'll start looking closely at your performance, which they might not otherwise do), so many people who have agreed to an agreement like this moonlight without telling the first employer -- and then they are subject to disciplinary action if they get found out. (Also lots of people accidentally or carelessly end up using some first-employer asset/resource when moonlighting -- especially in a remote-work world where your employer might have outfitted your home office for you with property that you have agreed that they own even though everybody knows that if you left the employer they wouldn't ask for it back)
It’s very valuable data. But you won’t control it, or get paid for it. Or a discount for it.

Ignoring my snark in a comment above, the one real benefit is someone can’t easily steal your registration sticker. They’d have to steal the whole setup.

Sticker theft isn’t a thing where I live (that I’m aware of), so that leaves me personally without a single benefit besides the idea appealing to me for being “neat”/“techy”.

Which doesn’t begin to compare with the problems. I’d be iffy/worried if this was a 100% government thing. The race a private company is involved/started it is so much worse.

Neat toy.
I think this comparison only stands if you narrowly view the US's actions in their own uniforms under their own flag.

If you include covert assistance to coups and juntas, training fascist insurrectionists, supplying weapons to genocidal autocrats, and the proxy wars... well maybe still they aren't the same but they're playing in the same league for sure. It's not preposterous to make the comparison.
I think that we can both agree that most everyone doesn't want to be homeless.
>That can't possibly be a valid claim, right?

For literally everything but music, yes.

Even by the standards of copyright technicality, music copyright is weird. For example, if you ask a lawyer[0] what parts of copyright set it apart from other forms of property law[1], they would probably answer that it's federally preempted[2] and that it has constitutionally-mandated term limits.

Which, of course, is why music has a second "recording copyright", which was originally created by states assigning perpetual copyright to sound recordings. I wish I was making this up.

So the musical arrangement that constitutes that song from 1640? Absolutely public domain. You can tell people how to play Monteverdi all damned day. But every time you record that song being played, that creates a new copyright on that recording only. This is analogous to how making a cartoon of a public-domain fairy tale gives you ownership over that cartoon only. Except because different performers are all trying to play the same music as perfectly as possible, the recordings will sound the same and trip a Content ID match.

Oh, and because music copyright has two souls, the Sixth Circuit said there's no de minimus for sampling. That's why sample-happy rap is dead.

If you want public domain music on your YouTube video you either record it yourself or license a recording someone else did. I think there are CC recordings of PD music but I'm not sure. Either way you'll also need to repeatedly prove this to YouTube staff that would much rather not have to defend you against a music industry that's been out for blood for half a century at this point.

[1] Yes, yes, I know I'm dangerously close to uttering the dangerous propaganda term "intellectual property". You can go back to bed Mr. Stallman.

Yes. If you estimate that you’ll get something done by Thursday, and you deliver on Thursday, then everyone is happy.

If you complete it sooner, your estimates were off. It’s fine to slow down if you sense you don’t need to work quite as hard as you thought to meet your deadlines.

In general, estimation is a system of shared deadlines. If you give your manager the ability to think of you as always meeting your deadlines, I guarantee they’ll be happy.
> Somebody else could build a centralized trading platform, and if you use that, it will be cheaper for all parties.

Oh absolutely, a centralized digital assets trading platform for general digital goods would be better in almost every (at least technical) way compared to a blockchain/decentralized platform. The challenge isn't technical, it's getting parties to trust you and your platform, and to use it. That's maybe the one (if not the only) upshot to using a blockchain; I don't necessarily have to trust the platform.

That said, Visa and Mastercard basically have a duopoly on digital payments, so it's not unrealistic to think someone could do the same but with trading/tracking ownership of digital assets.

Didn't know PGP created in the 90s was part of web3 even though web2 wasn't coined till the 2000s. Nobody uses PGP because it's a pain in the ass - was back then and still is today. Decentralization is a solution looking for a problem.

> I've been on teams with a developer who couldn't crunch strings. Leetcode interviews get the job done of avoiding those people

My main objection is that it's _timed_ crunching. The juniors can solve three toy problems in two hours because they've been drilling them nonstop for six months. I can finish any Medium and some Hard questions, but the Hards may take me 4 or 6 hours.

And yet, in the real world, I close tickets twice as fast as they do, because I grok the problem space quickly, don't head down as many dead ends, and know before I start when to escalate because this ticket isn't a ticket, it's an epic.

My point is solely that any test where a fresh graduate can reliably outperform someone with decades of experience is objectively not a very good test. I'd go so far as to say the universal reliance on LeetCode is a big part of why greybeards are underrepresented in dev teams.

Looks awesome. Would you be willing to also make them available as text files for easier searching and building stuff?
I think your explanation makes it very clear.

The difficulty with web-development is there are 3 different languages (HTML, CSS, JS) which all need to make some assumptions about what is coded in the other languages. The JavaScript refers to a DOM-element by id, it assumes some CSS which the JS can manipulate in a specific way.

The ideal goal much of the time has been: "Keep content separate from presentation, keep behavior separate from the content etc.". While this has been achieved in a superficial level by keeping CSS in a .css -file, content in a .html-file and behaviors in a .js -file, they are not really independent of each other at all. And how they depend on each other is not declared anywhere.

That means that to understand how a web-page works you must find, open and read 3 files.

Therefore rather than having 3 different types of files a better solution might be to have 3 files all of which contain HTML, CSS, and JS. In other words 3 smaller .htm files, each embedding also the CSS and JS needed.

There's a spectrum. Moonlighting for a direct competitor is obviously problematic. Moonlighting for a customer is also somewhat problematic, due to the appearance of a conflict of interest (is the customer getting special treatment out of hiring you? Are you ever in a position to take an action at either company which is influenced either by the secrets you know about the other or by their interests?)

Moonlighting for an unrelated business in the same field is less likely to be problematic, but in the case of, for example, Alphabet or Apple, exactly what are you doing that is definitely not a conflict of interest.

Moonlighting a second full-time job will in general cause you to be less effective at either than you would be absent the moonlighting, because human focus and energy are finite resources.

Moonlighting a part-time gig in a materially unrelated line of business is probably entirely conflict-of-interest free -- and nearly all employers would not attempt to stop you from doing so, though they may require you to tell them about it and let them verify that it actually is conflict-of-interest-free. (Of course, telling them might make them start paying close attention to whether or not you're getting "a full day's work" done in your day job, which, if you aren't, will probably cause you grief eventually)
