Do you think it is possible that people have different priorities and beliefs than you do?

Or does everyone share your priorities and beliefs, but those of us who act differently are just lazy, and so we construct justifications to defend our different actions?
Thank you. I'll check them out for more information
Read the article.

"The cracks are already starting to show. S&P Global reports that while Tesla made up 65 percent of the EV market in the U.S., making it far and away the market leader, that number is down from 79 percent in 2020 and it’s expected to drop another 20 percent by 2025."
Well, this illustrates the issue that many corporate entities have about open-sourcing their software code.

A book is a bunch of words, delivered to a reader via some medium. In order for a book to work, the words must all be delivered in readable format; whether printed out on a physical media, or delivered electronically, as text strings.

Because of that, copying the text is trivial. I have a scanner, under my desk, that will completely scan a book, if I unbind that book, and drop in the pages. I also have software that will OCR those scans. I have heard of OCR software that does a lot better than mine.

Writing a book is hard. I mean, really hard. I've done it. It can take months for an author to write a book that I can read in a couple of days (unless the author is Mercedes Lackey, or James Patterson).

Software is similar. Once it is written, reproducing it is trivial. After all, it's just a bunch of words. To make it even more convenient, almost all software is already rendered into electronic form.

With both of these, the only thing preventing anyone from simply copying the text, is the law, and there are lots of people (nations, even) that have absolutely no respect at all for the law. They will happily copy and reproduce the text.

It's entirely possible to have counterfeits of higher quality than the original. You could, for instance, sell a fancy, gilt-edged, leather-bound version of a book that has only been released as a mass-market paperback.

But what gives it real value, is the text.

You could steal software that drives a fairly humble Web site, and convert it to drive a megasite, or a design for a limited edition, artisanal product, and turn it into a cheap, mass-market knockoff.

In any of these cases, the originator of the text; whether an author, or a programmer, derives zero gain from it, and it can actually do damage to them, as the knockoffs could have real problems, and do brand damage, or the fake book could be published with the seal of the real publisher, and that publisher could see reputational damage, if the book contains textual errors (like lots of OCR'd books do).

It's a fairly big topic, and there are organizations that are dedicated to either freeing up artistic copyright, or overenforcing it.

The basic deal, is that, if you want art, you need to compensate the artist enough to make that art. AI might be at the point where that art could be faked, but I'm not sure if we are really there, or this is all a bunch of hype.
> Market capitalization is Market Price x Circulating Supply.

It was always very strange to me that this is the case, even for more respectable financial instruments like stocks. I get that it's an easily-calculated number, and maybe that's why it's so popular; but even for the world's most liquid instruments, like shares of AAPL, for example, it's an imaginary number, since nobody can buy or sell all of AAPL for that total amount.

At the very least, I would like to see some sort of liquidity-adjusted market cap.
That's what I've been going with so far... Let's say it has its pros and cons xD

The mention of 'exchange accounts' leads me to believe there are possibly two unique situations this individual is co-mingling:

1) Transferring money between crypto exchanges and regulated financial institutions in ways that trip fraud or AML detection measures leading to closed accounts

2) Actions against one or more social media accounts in reaction to content this individual has posted or shared

People love to act like one social media post against the "mainstream" is potentially life destroying but there's yet to be an actual example of that. Just loud jerks being loud jerks and getting mad when told to leave the party.

I appreciate your link but I thought the article did a decent job.

Ah, so kind of like SBF using FTT as collateral. Clever.
Of course they can. Step 1: institute a basic income for authors and artists. Step 2: abolish copyright laws.

(To simplify step 1, you could skip the thorny problem of defining who an "author" or an "artist" is by instituting a universal basic income.)
No, I am talking about things like job loss, followed by loss of ability to pay mortgage, followed by child losing school district. You have no idea who I am, or what my life position is.

Would that really work? How do you make sure too many people don’t show up to get on the same plane? How do you make sure every flight has a crew? How do you decide which flights to still run when only half the incoming planes actually showed up?

> ...not going to impress every eighteen-year-old.

Quite true. OTOH, I know a guy who was still a heavy smoker in his early 50's. Plenty to live for - corporate V.P. & rising, great girlfriend, his kids getting out of college.

If he had any interest in quitting, it was a well-kept secret.

~8 years later: After a few not-quite-good-enough attempts, his oncology team found a chemotherapy drug toxic enough to kill the lung cancer that had spread all through his body. Faced with "or die", and missing his oldest daughter's wedding day, he signed off on the side effect. Those were as advertised: He now lives in a hospice, and needs to a couple good, strong caregivers to safely get out of bed. On a good day. "Never really there for him" is a pretty accurate description of how well his brain is working, too.
If you and your spouse are of healthy weight and the mother breastfeeds all night and the bed is stripped of heavy bedding and pillows this is unlikely.

I wish doctors would give parents this advice because what happens now is that many American parents will cosleep without admitting it and don't know what to do when they engage in it.

In many traditional cultures, the baby is breastfed all night and the bed is stripped and beds are on the floor. If you do these , sids risk is greatly diminished. Some of the cosleep studies on sids are flawed. They conflate taking a baby onto a couch to sleep with an exhausted mother the same as a breastfeeding mother falling asleep with her child on a flat surface. But Americans are obsessed with cribs so doctors don't give any advice and conflate two unlike things.

If you lookup the histories of the people making the decisions you’ll see their connections to industry.

The chair of the committee who oversees dietary recommendations is listed as a professor. She got that for filling for retirement as a professor more than a decade ago. Has worked in industry lobbying and funding industry studies prior to gov work. Not an impartial person.

Steam+Proton is magical these days, I have no problem supporting creators and buying their games.

With Steam, GOG and Humble Bundle, it's never been easier to game on Linux. It feels like paradise.

In a way, gaming is in much better shape (re: convenience) than streaming TV shows these days. Yes, DRM for online play can be problematic for Proton -- but fuck those games!
I can't help but to think some meaning was lost in what you are intending to say. What is "it" that the woman was talking about? Is "it" picking the a ripe vegetable from the garden, like the sign says you can? Is "it" the government paying folks to plant and tend the garden for the benefit of the public?

Why is "it" (whatever "it" is) somehow related to slavery?

I can understand calling it foolish, I can understand calling it naive, but why are you calling it cowardice? What fear is he giving in to? He doesn't seem to be avoiding engaging in things he would like to for fear he will be discovered. One might even consider him guilty of foolish bravery in not fearing that he will be condemned for what seems to him as non-controversial.
Thanks, this option seems great while traveling!
For sure! Though might be worth reading https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/1/e20220...

Covers most of this. And with education campaigns and shifts in habits, overall mortality not just ‘SIDS’ rates have dropped a lot.

As to risk/reward, long term implications of things, etc. - I don’t know, and I don’t know anyone who reasonably can claim to know, but I also haven’t seen any reason to be concerned overall.

Plenty of bigger, more concerning issues - like lack of healthy socialization among kids, etc. in many environments, reduction in exercise, anxiety issues, social media, etc.
That’s a speculative prediction, assuming Tesla has no growth and fails to legacy auto.

I don't doubt it. I just wanted to specify that I've had no prior bias one way or another with regard to the service.
Steam provides something else too - up to date and patched games for latest systems. Its hard to follow those otherwise.

However, I am sure it will turn out to be scam one day and you will lose access to all/most games you bought.
> Their passports are confiscated by their sponsors

How does this work? As an adult, if someone tries to take my passport I would refuse. If they snatched it out of my hands, I would take it back. If they somehow got the better of me and hid it or locked it up, I'd go to the police.

I could see maybe an abusive situation where going to the police isn't an option because the victim is locked in the house. In that case I'd expect that when the perpetrators are caught they'd be charged with kidnapping for that. And then some other charge (theft?) for locking up the passport.

Simply but every big European car manufacturer has a model out now that has a good set of EV specific features and they can be purchased often for less.

Look at how spread the landscape is in the European EV capital of Norway: https://elbilstatistikk.no/

I am not sure of how many of the EVs are being registered/delivered after long wait periods, but the Model Y as a single model is being chased by every major automaker’s popular model. Nearly all competetive models are also available for cheaper (and also have access to the charging network in Norway at least.)

Cisco actually sued Apple over this. They settled.
Basically what I read was the former CEO was accountant educated and focused on stock price and financials and ignored system upgrades for like a decade. That coupled with their decentralized nature of operating (no hubs or star pattern) the recent storms caused their systems to not “know” where people or planes were even though the people knew where they were. That knowledge is the critical feature because hours of fly-time for pilots and airplanes is crucial for legally mandated rest periods, maintenance and logistics.

Having personally experienced the delays and issues with SW earlier this year I can suggest not flying them other than direct flights. Them not having any hubs means if one plane is late or a crew times out because of delays you are stranded. We got stranded at one airport overnight and got routed thru 2 other airports, changing planes at one, before reaching our destination. They have zero capacity of crews/planes on standby at any airport, probably because of the former CEO leadership and pandemic complications.
That’s true if you want an optimal solution. If you just want a decent solution (for various definitions of decent), the complexity may not be too bad.

Do you mean paper books? They are incredibly impractical: bulky, heavy, unsearchable...

I wrote a historical novel last year that I self-published on Amazon, on paper as well as Kindle. To my surprise, 80% of my sales are paper. It's in French, and the French are notoriously conservative, but still...

I don't care one way or the other what other people do, but for me the only time I buy paper books is if there is no electronic version, or the ebook is priced something like €15 and it's possible to find a used copy for 50 cents.
I don’t know if it’s a trend I’ve just noticed over the past 20 years, or a fundamental part of human psychology I was oblivious to when young, but I am really disturbed by those who think everyone is secretly just like them, and anyone who fails to act identically is “broken” or “mentally ill” or only “pretending” to be different.
Well, with a multi-billion dollar company knocking on the door, they know they may need absurd amounts of money for lawyers, so it makes sense to ask for donations should the situation escalate beyond what pro-bono lawyers can handle.

At the core, the problem is that the US doesn't have many protections for individuals and small businesses that need to fight against mega-corporations. It's simply infeasible to achieve anything outside of small-claims court. Europe is a bit better, but not by much.
May be to use scratch in some brainstorming or designthinking sessions for visualising and fast modelling of dynamic ideas and process proof. I think in this case of some kind of pseudocode.

Buy directly from the publisher’s website. Only O’Reilly doesn’t sell books, they have only an expensive subscription. Manning puts your name and email at the bottom of every page. Apress and Packt for example don’t. There is no DRM. After Thanksgiving there are big discounts. Packt’s sale is still ongoing - $5 an ebook. Apress’s books are only $7 after Thanksgiving, I think both for ebooks and print.

The wisdom of limited government is that any sufficiently powerful political organization will be corrupted and abused. There is no force worse than corrupted political power. Businesses come and go relatively quickly but governments metastasize and ossify.
The Supreme Court is already side-eyeing attempts to construct copyright out of trademark ownership. Copyright law itself has a federal preemption clause, which itself was a reaction to states passing their own perpetual music recording ownership schemes, but would apply to any attempt to cobble together non-copyright claims into something that works like a copyright.

For example, states have "right of publicity" laws, but you cannot use them to overturn, say, the copyright interest that a paparazzi has in an unauthorized photo of you. Yes, there are literally court cases in which people have been photographed by paparazzi, reused the photo that the paparazzi took, and then were sued for doing so. Celebrities will counter-argue right of publicity, but federal copyright preemption dissolves those claims[0].

Furthermore, trademark law only specifically applies to source-identifying contexts. And the standard for confusing trademarks is lower than the standard for derivative works in copyright. A year from now when Mickey Mouse hits public domain, if I want to just use him in a book, that's not a trademark violation. If I want to put him on the cover, then that's a trademark violation - but only if the specific way I drew him looks like the trademarked Disney logo. If I were to draw, say, a hyper-detailed portrait painting of the mouse and put that on the cover, that would be obviously not identifying Disney as the source of the work and thus not a trademark violation.

Keep in mind: this is already happening with Winnie the Pooh. There's an indie filmmaker who is making an unlicensed horror movie where the cartoon bear is a murderer. Nevertheless, he has Winnie the Pooh in the title. Nobody is going to confuse this for a licensed Disney film, however, because the cartoon bear is a murderer.

[0] Yes, this also implies that the rights of artists trump the right of privacy in the US, at least when no other crimes are committed. In, say, France, this is the opposite: public photography requires permission from every person in the photograph, so photographing large crowds is about as legally risky as training an AI to draw with copyrighted images in the US.

Considering nearly zero Americans are of healthy weight right now (obesity rate over 42%), even if you don’t consider stress eating that often happens with a new baby - just limiting by healthy weight or not is going to bias any results towards a pretty small group of people.
Agreed, it’s a superb article.
I find it hard to believe that compute power is the limitation here… something like simulated annealing would probably provide a reasonable, even if far from optimal solution on a regular PC. I imagine the feeding all of the data and constraints in is a bigger issue, when there is a lot of confusion and disorganization.

To me that's the killer app right now, one-place-to-toggle-them-all, with a running tally of what you're paying this month. Unfortunately streaming companies have no vested interest in making it easier for people to turn on and off their subscriptions, so even if it could be done it'd be a constant arms race.
