Yes, but a trademark only prohibits you from putting the word on a box or a store listing page. And only in source-identifying contexts - purely descriptive or nominative ones don't count[0]. This is the sort of thing where you would have to think ahead of time about the context of certain uses. But generally speaking, after January 1st, 2024, the balance is in the favor of the public domain:

- If I draw an animation and post it to YouTube, and one of the characters happens to be Mickey Mouse, that will be legal. But I still can't name my channel "Mickey Mouse Official" or put the character's face in my channel profile, since that's source-identifying material.

- If I just flat-out reupload Steamboat Willie to YouTube, with the (possibly incorrect) title "Walt Disney's FIRST EVER CARTOON", that also will be legal - because the title is purely nominative and does not imply that I'm licensed by Disney.

- If I release STL or STEP files on Thingiverse for printing Mickey Mouse christmas ornaments, that will be legal - but I have to make sure that nobody thinks this is actually made by Disney.

- Mass-produced merchandise sold in stores will be very difficult to sell legally, since generally speaking the whole object is considered source-identifying when you put it on a store shelf. About the only thing you could do is sell figurine blind-bags with no indication that there's public-domain Disney stuff in there.

That last one is probably why Disney isn't trying to, say, push Mexican life+100 terms[1] on everyone. Mickey Mouse is more valuable as a branding and merchandising tool than as a creative work.

Copyright law itself also has a preemption clause[2] which prohibits making copyright-shaped claims under other laws. This is usually mentioned in the context of state right-of-publicity laws[3], but the text of the clause would also apply to trying to "trademark a copyright" to keep the mouse in his cage.

[0] This is part of "trademark fair use", which is an entirely different concept to the copyright fair use one.

[1] Oh, yeah, I forgot - in all those YouTube examples you need to convince YouTube to block your upload in Mexico, which they are unwilling to do. The stated reason is that pirates could be harder to catch if they geoblocked their uploads. However, this already causes problems for, say, people reviewing anime - which is actually illegal in Japan! So I suspect that YouTube might have to change their policies on this at some point as more large publishers' work hits the public domain in certain countries but not others.

People they do not lose everything this round of collapse will invest in the next round... lol
For your three examples getting early into theses stocks, say stock compensation, or employee stock purchases would have produced outsized returns up until a few months ago. Much of the wealth is not from salary and simply stock compensation. Musk/bezos/zuck became billionaires on stock price alone. Early employees at these companies became millionaires many times over. But this is backwards looking and a survivor ship bias - for every one of these companies there companies who didn’t make it big , or value went to zero.
If it sounded reassuring to you then I should work on my writing skills, it certainly wasn't meant that way.

> sounds like a reason to leave the mine.

Absolutely, if you have funds in this - and any other unaudited - exchange GTFO or you may lose everything. Either their claim that they have the funds is real and you get your money and later you can re-deposit it or you'll be at least not one of the ones left holding the bag.
I have a pie zero w doing things with its GPIO. It’s super nice to ssh right to the board to update src code without having to go through the flash dance. I know Linux is not “hard real-time” but it’s close enough. All the real-time reqs I have get offloaded to a dedicated pwm breakout and communicated with over i2c anyway.
Why not just have empty lists instead of null then? :D Seems simpler.
They were initially used then for certain reason they were dropped.
What would be the point in cutting regular Russian citizens off from video games? It may actually be a good way to communicate with them.
That's one reason. Another is that it allows you to use the idiom (if X ...) to test for non-null rather than (if (not (null X)) ...)

Given the choice I prefer native package -> AUR package -> AppImage -> Flatpack, in that order. (snap, you'll notice, is absent)

Arch is pretty good at making the native packages work, so that's always ideal. The community is generally pretty good at competently packaging AURs, and they'll do it for slightly less free things, so that fills a lot of gaps. AppImages and Flatpaks are great when they work, but opaque and difficult to diagnose when they don't :/ And snap is just... unpleasant. It's insistence to auto update separately from my package manager has really turned me off of it's whole ecosystem. No thanks.
The signal to noise ratio on today's internet is very bad.
I had good luck even with newer titles. Right now I'm playing Red Dead Redemption 2, and it works like a charm, out of the box. Same flow as in Windows, even.
So what does that tell about the exchanges that are managed in an unauditable way...
Even if you have the keys, it’s not your store of value, as people will find out when this implodes.

Argument for the meme:

Labor unions don't challenge the core structure of capitalism; even when they're working, they mostly serve to give a slightly bigger piece of the pie to workers. And in practice, they are hijacked by a certain bureaucratic caste that mostly optimizes for stability and self perpetuation. They become integrated with state sponsorship, which will never allow for substantive change. For instance, in the USA the general strike was a powerful tool in the arsenal of workers' power and drove substantial wage gains, but disrupted capital too much and as such is banned by the NLRB. Since unions' scope is limited to accounting, law, and mediation, they become mostly administrative organizations staffed increasingly by members of the professional services class. These people can never provide leadership that primarily serves the working class, as their economic interests diverge and they can't do anything that would threaten their social good standing.

Argument against:

An economy dominated by worker co-ops is just wishful thinking. We have no idea how to get from point A to B, and no idea if it would even work. The limited evidence we have for that kind of economic structure comes from post WW2 Yugoslavia and suggests it wouldn't ("they just didn't do it right!" invites the question of how we do do it right). Conventional unions do shift some of the capital pie to workers, and we shouldn't let a very hypothetical best be the enemy of the concrete good. And even if worker co-ops are the ideal, any path that gets us there requires more worker power, so stronger unions would be a good first step to getting us to that point.
`lsof -p pid` can also be a good way of determining what a process is doing at a given point in time, if you're just trying to figure out what files it has open.

If Overture Maps wants something that OSM doesn't want to provide, I'm quite happy that they don't try to force OSM in a different direction.

For example, OSM has data but doesn't really want to be serving map tiles to the entire world. There are companies that are quite happy to serve map tiles, but I assume that's not all they're looking for either.

The Global Entity Reference System looks quite interesting: if it's going to work well, it's going to have to bear at least a passing resemblance to Unicode in that it will need to capture all the different ways that existing systems refer to distinct entities. I can understand why OSM wouldn't want to build such a system, but I hope it would also be quite valuable to the OSM community.

Preserving inefficiencies for the sake of extracting money is called rent seeking.
There is a reason why banks have stress tests. And there is no reason this shouldn't apply to exchanges.
Not to mention, the risks tied to the coins itself. FTX was also fully backed, on paper. The problem was just that their reserves were in their own fantasy money, which lost all of its value the moment FTX got into trouble. (And how the real dollars that people had deposited somehow turned into fantasy money is the magic trick that brought SBF free lodging in the Bahamian jail)

So an audit wouldn't just have to prove the assets are there on some chain, it would also have to verify the chain itself is actually suitable as a reserve.

A vaguely relevant anecdote: in my year before joining Google, I was a Patent Agent, and I got assigned to help Chinedu Echeruo of HopStop [1] with his patent. He was in NYC and I never actually met him; we just talked on the phone.

"Nigeria" is almost a joke in tech circles, with all the Princes who need your help to get their fortunes out, but Chinedu is Nigerian.

At the time, his was the only service that had NYC transit schedules online, and he did it largely by paper-scraping! They would take the paper bus & subway schedules, and OCR or hand-code the data. Nowadays, almost every city has their transit schedules online. HopStop was bought by Apple eventually.

> attempted to ban the Russian language

Yikes, this is a terrible lie. Source: the Ukrainians in my household who were primarily Russian speaking up until February.

Your comment has no basis in reality, is just regurgitating the propaganda of a genocidal autocrat which is attempting to extinguish Ukrainians as a language.

Repeating lies like this is somewhat despicable, and though I'm trying to remain polite because of HN rules, such ridiculous propaganda that you are spouting is beyond the pale and in real life would be close to fighting words.
Per https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/accreditedinvestor.asp#... the requirements to be an accredited investor are well within reach of quite a few software developers. Apparently I qualify despite being in the Midwest where salaries are lower than the coast and I'm not a particularly great developer.

Based on these requirements I would guess that 10% of the population could certainly qualify given that a quick Google search says that almost 9% of the population are millionaires.
> 3) They have a large number of interconnected corporate entities and nobody has the big picture. (Like FTX).

This isn't true, is it? FTX had <5 corporate entities, right?

The issue was more with (1) and (2).
Not only inflation but with debt.

You can do extremely well with just a Bachelor’s in CS. Professions like nursing, medicine, law, even business have had their earning potential sapped by larger and larger costs of education. And degrees past Bachelor’s are less well supported by financial aid schemes.
> implying sequential action and a real change of state - not simultaneous action+measure.

Ok, replace resistor by capacitor :)

I.e., run a current through a capacitor, then (some time later) measure the voltage over it.

I don't recall anyone actually creating logic gates using capacitors only.
That's mostly fair, but the Big 4 are very good at billing partner prices for junior work and some of the mid-tier companies do excellent work for a much better rate.
Hm, not sure I'm getting that.

I've not been guilted into anything. But hey we all gotta be ourselves.
The question is: how are the laser an photodiodes driven? Also water? I bet no. Just transistors... so, why not use the transistors switching the laser directly, without the whole laser/water/photodiode path?

Its very simple, bad money always pushes out good money.

I truly honestly believe Coinbase is reputable. No sarc I personally believe in that company and I'm trying to be complimentary, although I have no personal affiliation other than having been an active historical customer. Anyway, they are/were/IIRC offering a loan product as an investment paying something like 5% APR (back when inflation was running about 10% LOL)

The problem is FTX was/IIRC offering a similar loan product as an investment paying something like 8%. Pyramid schemes always advertise larger numbers than the market can honestly support, its not like that have to actually earn the money LOL.

So you end up with rando speculator-investors tossing money at FTX, who wants to flush 3% down the drain by signing on with the "wrong" website?

Thus either Coinbase has to go out of business, get acquired by FTX, or hope FTX crashes and burns before the first two happen. Apparently the last option happened LOL, bye FTX.

The FTX business model was to get real big real fast and pay politicians for regulation to put their competitors out of business. Can't lose if you're the biggest and its illegal to compete with you. Ran out of money too quickly, oh well.

This is how markets work. The winners are not the "best" in some vague sense of goodness, they're the ones who took on the most risk possible without getting caught, and the more perfect the market and easier it is to flood capital in a different direction, the worse the effect gets.

The biggest dog on the block is always the first to keel over because they ran the most risks to get to be that biggest dog on the block.

This isn't a unique to finance situation, this happens in everything from automotive to mining to fro-yo fad restaurants.

> MLM/pyramid scheme, it was like a cult, no matter how many examples you gave them of people ending up losing their shirts they would buy more of the crap

Let me introduce you to my little friend, the biggest real estate hyperinflation in history. It's double plus ungood badthink to even hint in polite company that once the boomers are done, prices are going to implode to a level the latter generations can actually afford, which isn't much...

Another financial thing to look at, melt ups. Some markets that implode don't melt "down" then melt "up" as the ever shrinking number of people supporting the price disappear, upward pressure on prices actually increase as only the true believers are left.
Disney World's Animal Kingdom has an Avatar-themed "ride" where you are linked to a banshee rider. And they make you wear these silly glasses, with thick, bulbous lenses.

So I'm there, mounted on a plastic motorbike, staring down in disbelief at the smaller-than-iPad display where the tachymeter and gauges would be. In front of me, in front of everyone to my left and right, is just plastic nothing. Plastic. And I think aloud, "Okay, are we gonna look down at this little screen the whole time?" The guy next to grins too: Where's the screen?

Then it starts. Holy crap. My entire field of vision is Pandora--up, down, left, right, everywhere.

And we are flying on banshees! I feel a moment of weightlessness as we careen down a canyon at the speed of gravity. I want to hoot and holler. It's pure joy, and my heart sings.

That's virtual reality, to me.
How are you holding your phone? I'm typing this comment one-handed using a soft keyboard on the bottom of my phone. My thumb actually cannot reach the top of the screen without shifting the phone to a different grip.
Seems odd to call not using a relatively new and unknown project "doing it wrong".

But thanks for sharing the link, seems very interesting.
What do you hope to accomplish with a low-effort comment which everyone knows is wrong? We’re talking about the FBI here so one of the events I’d expect most HN commenters to be familiar with is their dispute with Apple:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93Apple_encryption_d...

Since then, Apple has stepped up their end to end encryption stance, which seems like the opposite of what you’re implying.

It's planned destruction by bought and paid for politicians from both Labour and Conservative working on behalf of agents of foreign governments. Hell, two of our most recent Prime Ministers have citizenship of a foreign power and no one sees that as something that should stop them from being Prime Minister.
Also, in favor of point b, both can coexist, the same way that TV did not entirely eliminate the radio.

Nobody. Cares.
Regulated exchanges are obviously a different branch entirely, but the rest of them have serious problems keeping their hands off the customer funds. And as was pointed out to me upthread even the regulated exchanges may not have enough of a wall between the crypto they hold for customers and their operating funds to guarantee that those customer funds are going to be there if the company fails.

Time and again we find that exchanges have been dipping in and using money that wasn't theirs in ways that would never fly in a regulated environment.
I've noticed the same. It speaks loudly and confidently, with no logic or evidence whatsoever. Just like a blowhard who 'heard something somewhere' and repeats it as fact.
You’re definitely right the technology has tons of potential. Lots of applications in, for instance, content-creation space as well.

The problem Meta ran into is that it’s difficult/impossible to make money on it. It’s a niche market at best, and it’s much more difficult to prove the value when compared to something like Facebook. Facebook is easy to use and provides social value to everyone on the planet. And I say that not using it myself but I live in a small town and all business here rely on Facebook; the municipalities use it to communicate; elderly use it… it’s accessible.

I’m sure the wall Carmack ran into was the shareholders. To shareholders it’s more often than not about profits. To Carmack it’s probably about the product he envisions, not the profits. But you can’t have both sustainably when folks can live without VR.

I would jump on the bandwagon if my VR headset was mine: like a computer I can install whatever I want there—not in a walled garden owned by Evil Corp.

The proper VR solution needs to be open source hardware and software. By the people, for the people. Reduce the barrier to entry and people will use it.

One more thing: those virtual avatars are impossible to take seriously. If I’m in a virtual boardroom filled with those, I might as well be playing Minecraft.

This is fascinating, I really want to understand.

Was Android (even stock) insufficient for reading news sites and quick photos? Or is iOS much better for you at those tasks? If that's all you need, then I would consider both Android or iOS sufficient, but I don't quite get why you'd give up so many options and capabilities to switch, unless iOS is much better at reading news and taking photos.

Maybe an analogy to help with my question. If all I need to do is unscrew Phillips number 2 screws and the occasional flathead, and I already had a great power drill with a bunch of bits in the kit (and had mastered it), why then buy a different power drill that that takes a proprietary bit and can only do Phillips and flathead? At some point I might have a need to do torx or hex or square, etc. Wouldn't you be better off having the capability should you need it? Why is it better to not have the capability?
Take your reasons, which are really more opinions, and insert "free speech" instead of "unions" (after the appropriate changes) and you might understand why people would disagree.

Last I checked, Facebook created Presto and can decide what they want to do with that IP, just like any other business.
They are by definition lower-tier, as they don't have the resources to run an audit for a firm that purportedly maintains billions in reserves. A contract of that size wouldn't end up at a regional arm in South Africa anyway.

Big 4 auditors aren't exactly cheap, but there is a reason why they audit all the major firms. Mazar's biggest customer appears to be the Trump Organization.
That scene (the matrix mirror) sounds more entertaining than my pulp fiction reenactment (the OD scene - I died and then sat up just as they were gonna stick me with the atropine).
I played all of cyberpunk shortly after release on a 3950x and 3060ti on Steam+Proton+Ubuntu with very little problems. It did get very laggy in busy areas on occasion, but that was the exception not the rule. Obviously newer hardware helped, but it seemed Valve hurt the gaming experience less than CD Project Red did!

Not really a gamer. Cyberpunk is probably my high water mark at 90 hours. It's so nice to not to have to make major concessions to run Linux.

Valve you have earned a customer with me.
What I mean is that they are only intertwined because of that campaign financing rule - they aren't inherently intertwined. And the more obvious and immediate solution (to me) is to change that rule and stop them from being intertwined rather than to somehow fix all wealth inequality.

As an absurd example, let's say I made a law that said that people with brown eyes can slap people with blue eyes. In this world, slapping people and eye-colour would be intertwined. This doesn't mean it's inherently a problem with brown eyes, or that eye colour and slapping are inherently intertwined. The obvious fix for this would be to change the rule rather than to change everyone's eye colours.

As in the US wealth and political donations are linked, the initial problem is that those two are linked together. There is nothing inherent that says you need to reduce income inequality to reduce the impact of wealth on politics - i.e. you can reduce the impact by changing legislation so the two aren't intertwined.

Essentially that they are most likely dipping in to support either their operations or other projects from the customer funds. That's not proof, but I would not at all be surprised if there isn't a single one of them that is clean.
The base PDP-11 had 56KB. Many microcontrollers exceed that.
