I'm not fully convinced 20 years is the right answer. Things made 20 years ago are still often in pop-culture (The Matrix Trilogy, the first 7 seasons of South Park, the first 5 Harry Potter books), and these entering the public domain would create significant pressure to avoid the names of these series becoming legally generic. Managing the rights of these also feels like it would create significant stress on platforms trying to stem off piracy - is that 5 min clip from the Simpsons from seasons 1-15 (legal), or 15-34 (illegal)?

Somewhere between the two feels more significant. Few series will run that long, and anything that does enter the public domain will be unambiguous due to its look, feel, and sound. Something like the original Star Wars (45 years old) is clearly older and is distinct from modern media in its look and feel. Something like The Lord of the Rings on the otherhand is hard to differentiate.

I'm picturing a curve of increasing steepness that we'll all inevitably fall off of eventually, but where the marginal utility of hanging on for one more cycle increases.

Indeed. Privileged upper middle class kids who've never lived as a poor person or lived in high crime areas, trying to solve everyone's problems without any life experiences nor evidence their solutions would work.
Maybe AI platforms can create a bot crawler or API that scrapes text across a website of choice and returns a score of how confident it is that the text on that page was written by/plagiarized from an AI, having them run it through their AI-writing trained models. A score above a certain threshold will get your page flagged by some central fact-checking authority and apply a AI citation label to your page (among many other solutions).

AI platforms generating text should have a "memory" of what was written/generated by them at a minimum and give the public the ability to check for plagiarism against their AI text generation models. Sounds like a good start up idea?
I was being slightly facetious ;). However it is something I've thought about before, what happens to societies when no one dies, whether we'll keep the same customs and societal opinions forever, etc.

All it takes to "undo" it is for inflation to slow down (already happening/happened), and wages to increase a little faster than inflation. A few years of that, and it will effectively be as if never happened (in aggregate, anyway).

Production of the chips needed to train and run these AI models are intrinsically centralized and require enormous capital investment to develop. If politicians get sufficiently spooked, I expect they'll try to regulate the sale of GPUs/etc and will probably be mostly successful. Popularly cited instances of prohibition failing don't map onto this problem; you can't grow a GPU with hydroponics in your closet, or brew GPUs in your bath tub.
I lived with my family on rented houses for a few years... Got kicked out of houses twice in 5 years because homeowners wanted to sell; this happened at great personal cost to my family with broken relationships with neighbors, school uncertainty, furniture changes, etc. Nevermind landlords promised that they wanted to rent "long term" in all cases.

Renting is fine in many scenarios, but homeownership can bring a lot of stability to life. Sure it's not for every single person out there, but if you plan to stay put for at least a few years and can afford it, I say go for it.

I think that dollar-for-dollar cost comparisons with renting can only go so far as it's not easy to measure the value of the aforementioned stability (and neither is the lost flexibility of renting).
Interesting quirk, I see it pushes each keystroke of a search term onto the js history, which effectively breaks the back button...

Where I live, I was fortunate to be able to borrow to purchase a very modest, poorly maintained house for $X, about 63% the price of a comparable reasonably well maintained house on the same street.

Five years later everything on the street is now $2.75X while my wage has increased by about 6% in that same time. Rents have also been going yo quite dramatically.

This is in a regional city of about 100,000 in Australia.

The idea that all you need to do is realign your expectations, and work harder, is embarassing.
I couldn't possibly see how studios would abuse buying up rights to content and shelving them...

looks at the fiasco related to content being shelved at WB for tax write-offs

Under that model corporations could buy up content that should become public domain, depriving the public of rights to it, and get a tax credit for it :P
Crazy that I missed that. Neighbours had an Atari ST and a friend would sometimes come with his MOOG synthesizer and we'd hook it to the ST but we didn't know about MIDI hacks to play multiplayer games.

Now by default these home computers often had two joystick ports and to be able to play I-don't-remember-which-game we hacked some additional dual-port thinggy on a little PCB we'd hook into the ST's parallel port. This allowed us to play four players at the same time, each with our own joystick, on a single ST / monitor.
A modern version of APL here: BQN [1] [2].

Its introduction says: "Although it maintains the concept of array-driven computing and much of APL's array functionality, BQN discards all compatibility with other array languages and changes many fundamental concepts. It uses the based array model with dedicated array notation, distinguishes between data types and expression roles to give the language a context-free grammar with first-class functions, and uses a new set of glyphs with different primitive pairings."

>Gender dysphoria is a real thing though

So we should call that sex dysphoria, gender would be a misnomer here (see above). And that may be the case, but it is hard to imagine that it is innate as transgender (another misnomer) proponents claim. And even if it is, it's hard to say that a surgery is the right solution. As you say it is like the leg amputee, clearly that is not the right course of action. Same with plastic surgery and steroids. But even there at least there one can say they now are strong or pretty (still debateable) but what can a male that removes his genitals say? I am female? Clearly not. I am a woman? A "woman" gender taken as the emotional state of a female is already a problematic idea, as I explained above. So we are left with nothing.

All this to say that feeling that you want to remove your genitals should not imply that you want to wear a dress. If it does then we must say that there is some innate difference between men and women beyond sex. Especially if we describe the "woman" social construct to be the result of a domestication process. If this were true, feeling that you are a woman would certainly not imply any domestication, as the person was raised as a man.

The last atempt would be to say that wanting to be a woman is a second order effect of sex dysphoria (in a male) caused by society. But then we have already given up on him being a woman to now wanting to be a woman as a sscond order effect of sex dysphoria. And it is of course counter to the claim that the surgery is gender conforming, as the surgery first order (ie. sex dysphoria) and gender is second order. Rather the gender change is sex conforming in this line of thought.

Now I agree that more research needs to be done on sex dysphoria, but unfortunately I don't think any unapproved conclusion will be allowed to be published or if it is we be labled transphibic and ignored.

My hope is that delay adds up to much more IO expansion, and a smaller node meaning similar performance per watt (or better) in the next Pi revision.

Having the support of the Pi engineering team means a lot of small businesses and hobbyists who depend on certain bits of hardware actually working (and not just being features in a bullet list) can solve interesting problems more easily with a Pi than with other similar SBCs (many of which are now a bit faster).

One other thing to factor into this good picture you're making of the situation: at each step in greater transmissibility of variants and sub-variants for Omicron a given isolation or here Zero COVID policy becomes harder. That said, Xi/the CCP/PRC kept it up for almost a year after the first variants of Omicron started getting detected all over the world. Per Wikipedia the first ex-Africa case was in Hong Kong....

Against classic Wuhan it's pretty much accepted the two big PRC vaccines are less effective than the best two Western mRNA ones. This might not play out the same for variants, since these PRC ones are of the inactivated whole virus type, likely expose more proteins to the adaptive immune systems than spike focused ones.

Yes, obviously, I have seen a number of mentally ill children, all their treatment was forced as mentally ill children are not competent to make their own medical decisions. There is a huge body of ethics and law on the issue of forcing treatment upon others.

As to this specific case, the forced treatment of homeless people with mental health problems, from what I've heard on the people with boots on the ground a lot of people have severe brain damage from things like fentanyl overdoses who simply can't take care of themselves, and I've heard tons of people who have been disturbed by people with mental health problems disrupting public order as people go about their day to day lives. How much should one value freedom, how much should one value order, and how much should one be a consequentialist? How cost-effective is forced treatment anyways?
And most exoplanets are observed indirectly: doppler effects on the central star's light, occlusions of the central star's light measured through variances in the observed light from that star, and in a few cases absorption spectra of the exoplanet's atmosphere, again, by occlusion of the central star.

All occlusion observations require orbital planes which are aligned such that they're viewable from our solar system, further reducing observable planets.

And yes, there are a very few exoplanets which have been directly observed, but those are very much the exception.

Detecting any signals or emissions of a technological alien race would be exceedingly difficult even at near range.

Though mention of possible rocket systems and the fact that these are directional suggests that one of the more likely signals to be detected might be a decelerating ship, or ships, approaching the Solar System directly.
Unless the police are out there chasing them down and establishing an arrest record to show they previously lied, why would they be denied payments in the future?

It’s just an example of spineless politicians pandering to a whiny people and unable to manage the police force.

In my city we’ve become inundated with sad sack beggars at intersections. Many of them are part of organized rings of hustlers. Our mayor wants to respect their feeling or whatever and police are not allowed to engage them. In one case, there was a full on brawl on an exit ramp between rival groups before the cops were cleared to break it up.
A daily reward would be much more psychologically motivating than a stipend.

Copyright is abused in may ways that go far beyond perpetually extended copyright protections. The DMCA has enabled copyright to be used as a weapon to silence criticism. Companies have created a revenue stream out of sending DMCA notices demanding that people (innocent or otherwise) pay settlements now or else face long and expensive court battles. Creators are threatened with lawsuits or dragged through the courts on highly questionable copyright grounds just to bankrupt them and prevent them from being a competitor.

Recently, the media industry has taken to suing ISPs for billions if they refuse to permanently stop offering service to customers who have been repeatedly accused of violating copyright. Without any court finding you guilty or any actual proof that a violation took place, if you are accused multiple times and your ISP doesn't disconnect your service forever they could be fined out of existence. Most of the ISPs sued so far have settled out of court, but the media industry has been winning in the courts as well.

Copyright is regularly abused to do things that go far beyond what it was intended to, and often to the determent of the creation of new works. Most of the people hurt by such abuses have no ability to fight it, and very little hope of actually winning even if they try.
This article is kind of niche... My favourite Ruby delights are among others, methods provided by the Enumerable mixin https://rubyapi.org/3.1/o/enumerable.

I always wondered what strings hold the Berne Convention (and similar treaties) together. It seems like they got adopted by incredibly broad swathes of countries-- ones with wildly different social and economic needs and norms. Why would countries that can't even agree on any other nuts-and-bolts matter suddenly all line up to defend Mickey Mouse?

My first guess was promises of reciprocality, but that seems like a hard sell to countries without a meaningful IP economy.

I can't imagine it being enforced with bullets. There's no way to rally troops to defend a copyright that doesn't make you look like the bad guy.

Was it smuggled in as part of other trade agreements? (If you want to sell us $resource_you_actually_have, you have to also agree to worship the almighty circled C?)

Yeah I'd say the murder the story centers on and several other stories recounted don't fit what you said too well. The article also calls into question how voluntary these "voluntary" kidnappings truly are in their social context.

Yes! I'm thinking of how to adapt Louise (https://github.com/stassa/louise) to do that. The fact that s(CASP) is basically a Prolog-y version of ASP (with constraints) could make it a very natural sort of modification.

We don't know how rare either actually is. For both we have just one example - us. This suggests odds of no more than one in several thousand. But it doesn't take too many filters of that order of magnitude for a few hundred billion to become a handful, and the handful to become just one.

Your point about binary star systems is interesting. Orbital dynamics have a well-known tendency to be chaotic. In a single star system, this chaos is significantly less of a problem. But in a double star systems, the odds of moving in/out of the habitable zone over time are much higher. So that's probably a filter. But not as big of one as the ones I listed.

I'm pretty sure it prevents new works more than it creates them these days.

It needs a rewrite:

- enforcement of copyright means compelling payment to that address, not removing the infringing work
