Much of the US's bargaining power on the world stage comes from the bit that companies based in the US are responsible for a sizable portion of the intellectual property created in the world (patents, software, books, movies and other media).

The US (and California) profits substantially from maintaining control of and allowing its citizens and companies to likewise maintain control of the IP that they create.

Lets go back to the original part of this thread.

California can't get rid of copyright. Suggesting it as a way of eliminating targeting advertising is a substantial leap of argumentation without any supporting material.

For copyright to be gotten rid of, this would take a concerted effort from congress to withdraw from those treaties (and you can be sure that every company in California that creates copyrighted or patented works (e.g. Silicon Valley and Hollywood) would pack up their bags from what would be the the 5th largest economy in the world if California was a state and move to the other CA a few hundred miles north. Those treaties include Berne, UCC Geneva, UCC Paris, TRIPS as part of the WTO, and WCT.

Meanwhile, how does copyright prevent P2P publishing?

How would enabling P2P publishing (which isn't prohibited now) get rid of targeted advertising?

I've had the same issue.. I had to mitigate every few weeks.

Strange thing was, I'm 100% sure I didn't send any spam and my server was in a subnet with legit stuff only.

The only time I actually got through to someone at MS they said the issue was that I didn't send enough email to build up 'reputation' or whatever. It was indeed a small personal server with 4 users. As with yourself my SPF and DKIM was all A-OK and I only had issues with live.com and Hotmail. Not with corporate O365 users.

In the end I gave up but it's sad MS are breaking email this way.

This is probably a completely unrealistic goal for a wide variety of reasons, but it would be amazing to have something like this in a public park.

I could also imagine going on tour. Like, you get permission in advance from some random park in some random city, and you just set it up with no public announcement and just see what happens. I mean, when I was a kid I'd think it was awesome if some random spaceship just suddenly was there, and then a week or so later it was gone. Even if it's clearly not a real spaceship, it'd still have been a great experience.
Why are these even remotely necessary? I've got a fair sized garden, surrounded by deciduous trees, and half an hour with a rake on a few weekends in Autumn is all it takes to keep on top of things. What am I missing?
> Not if people just swap NFT accounts and sell their keys+accounts in their entirety.

There's a cost to doing this. Usually as an escrow fee paid to ebay or g2a or wherever you're selling keys. As long as the NFT transfer fee is lower than the escrow cost, I don't see how it wouldn't be cheaper and safer for everyone.

I'm not saying this is a solution to piracy or violating the regionality of the licensing agreement, just that it would allow buyers and sellers to trade; with the original licensor taking the fee instead of ebay, because the NFT cryptography takes the place of the reputation+escrow provided by existing platforms.
That's beside the point. If you don't have consent you don't have consent.

Thanks for taking a read! Indeed, the argument presented in most of the article is refuted using a similar argument to your own at the end:

> Unlike GPT, as people, we all share the reality of human experience. This is a reality that can’t be generated: it is a vocabulary we all share. I hope that the fundamental human need for real social connection—outside of the hollow digital realities we define—will drive people to seek more real-world friendships than the number of digital ones they prompt into existence. When they do, I hope that these friends look to expand the overlap between their respective vocabularies, working towards bridging the gap between their shared realities.

> This argument presented in this post has at least one fatal flaw (among many): it assumes that the path of “getting lost in a private fractured reality” is the path most people will elect to follow. In practice, however, I think the novelty will soon wear off: most people will get sick of said Content Deluge after a while. There are only so many procedurally generated landscapes the eyes can handle before the body wants to step away and experience real nature. The curse of those forced to inhabit a fractured reality will likely be relegated to those who consider themselves members of the Eternally Online. I am grateful to not be counted among their ranks.

To respond to a few particular points you mentioned:

> [...] more content on YouTube than any human could ever possibly consume. How is adding more really going to fundamentally change our shared experience?

Point 3 mentions that we already face this problem; the content deluge on YouTube and similar platforms has already fundamentally changed our shared experience.

> [...] that content will still be shared, will still go viral, will still be a shared reality about which we can talk with our friends.

The content that is likely to go viral will likely be engineered to be so, ehibiting biases induced by algorithms for generation or algorithms for selection. These algorithms are likely to maximize some proxy of a metric for profit, such as attention, as expressed in the following (admittedly easy to miss) line:

> The shared plains of collective consciousness [will be] ravaged by a sea of memetic tofu, each thought allocated to the highest bidder.

I guess I fell prey to my own argument here, expressing an idea with a niche vocabulary, losing clarity in the process. I'll most likely revise this line for greater clarity, thanks!

> I heard from several people that Arabic has a similar power of expression.

Not all types of Arabic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Arabic, some are different enough to be considered a different language as different as Nigerian Pidgin and British English.

> I learned from Russian how incredibly powerful and nuanced a language can be (too bad it is currently used to scare people everywhere).

I don't find Russian to be particularly more expressive than any other bigger slavic language, like Polish or Yugoslavian. I would say that it's largely a myth propagated by Russians. It has a bunch of newer loan words from French, German and kept some of its' older synonyms, oh and a lot of archaics from Old Church Slavinic. In that sense it isn't more nuanced than English. One more con is that the convoluted sentence structure makes it an unfriendly language for non native speakers to learn. Phonetics are terrible, a bunch of my friends that had been studying Russian fairly well and still don't know how to pronounce those rarely used words.

How is Russian language used to scare people? If you live in EU and hear a lot of Russian you shouldn't be scared since a lot of them are Ukranian refugees from the East and South. There are very few Russians you should be scared of, except some angry and very drunk ones in tourist resorts, fortunately those aren't coming in droves anymore.

I speak a few different languages, knowledge of languages is overrated if you don't use them regularly. Actually I regret learning some of those, that time would have been better spent on acquiring some technical skills. I have met very few people that are truly bilingual, most of them say they are, but aren't actually equally as good in both. A lot of Ukranians are bilingual btw, but it's easier when two languages are that similar.
I started off in the "enjoying collecting gear" quadrant of photography, then I heard an insightful comment by a pro: "If you have $5K, you can either buy one good lens and use it to take photos of the pigeons outside your apartment, or spend that money on a destination holiday and take pictures of amazingly beautiful places with your old lens which still works perfectly fine."

I stopped buying new kit and started going on lots of holidays. No regrets so far. I just wish I had the budget for a Nikon Z9 and a holiday, but I don't work in Silicon Valley, so...

Golf Studies.

* Income, outdoor lifestyle, opportunities for travel. Good phd topics across economics, law, environment and civil engineering. And, you make (some, admittedly very poor dress sense, I mean those shoes...) people happy.

Look, it's bizarre but even actuarial studies can be immensely rewarding. Who knew statistics on when and how people die was so fascinating? It's impossible to say a priori which field of study "is the best one" because taken seriously, they all are. It depends who you are, what drives you, and your capabilities latent and overt.

Now law. That's where great minds go to die.

When I was at uni I thought it was arts. That was the 80s. I've had a great life, fruitful, fun, fulfilling and well renumerated for over 40 years from studying computer science in a tiny British post 1950s redbrick university.

I am not sure I'd recommend that now.

The student debt crisis is economically stupid and an attack on the young.
I don't see how this is different than before. They discuss the changes in 2020, but I'm only finding two things that happened then.

- Prop 16 failed, but this maintained the status quo (keeping proposition 209 in place)
- UC stopped requiring SAT/ACT scores for admissions

It was already part of the analysis on Prop 16 [0] that universities had been using the student's high school and residence location for making these decisions as a result of prop 209. What's new about this particular analysis that reiterates that fact with some newer statistics?

Mac/Apple only customers have this strong inclination for some kind of Stockholm syndrome when it comes to software and devs going shitty and hostile. I find this weird kind of loyalty added to software as well that somehow starts as Mac only and that loyalty stays even after they go crap. Often blown out of proportion.

I mean I always wonder what is the reason that these people don’t even want to acknowledge BitWarden.
Agreed. Spring hasn't changed that much. It's still an annotation-fest at core and the method names don't appear to be getting any shorter.
What's funny is that when I was young someone told me "the laws are so strict in germany they even dictate when you can and cannot operate a leaf blower!" Recently I was thinking about that and actually as you say that sounds really nice!
> What factors made you choose Google Drive for syncing? And was it easy to set up?

Using Google Drive as a database is not easy to implement, but I chose Google Drive in terms of data ownership. The users can delete the data by themselves if they want and the app can't connect users' data without receiving the HTTP request from the user. These points are good for privacy laws and reduce the security risk.

It also keeps infrastructural costs low. It's also an important factor in providing the application free of charge.

The bad point of Google Drive is high latency, but the latency issue wouldn't be a big problem because the HTTP requests/responses wouldn't block user interactions in this app.
the percentage Apple takes off the top. If your app or subscription costs $1, you receive $0.70 for each sale. As mentioned, for subscriptions, the second year Apple only takes 15%, so you receive $0.85 per subscription dollar.

It's even more complicated, if your company makes less than $1mm in revenue, Apple discounts their first year take to 15% also. This makes work for the MBAs at startups to make somewhat complicated revenue forecast spreadsheets.
> If the solution is to ban cars because you don't like the noise, it sounds like you just don't like cars.

Guilty as charged. That said: the noise itself isn't entirely just the problem so much as how prolonged it is. Having buses and readily-available public transport that are only loud occasionally and on a fixed schedule isn't the same as a constant stream of traffic. Even if the bus or train is louder (and light rail is usually much, much quieter), it isn't all-day, only at fixed intervals.

There are marginal gains to be had. Reducing the amount of driving and traffic in our cities is good for a lot of reasons, but particularly with noise it's a combination of speed, vehicle size, and overall frequency of vehicles that makes a killer combination.

The solution is to place noise restrictions on vehicles (this goes against manufacturers putting off any kind of noise reduction), reducing speeds (this involves walkable / bikeable infrastructure), and expanding public transit like bus and light rail access to reduce the total number of personal vehicles on the road.

Yes, this will make things "worse" for drivers. But it's not the end of the world. If you ever visit Zurich or Geneva, you'll be able to distinctly tell the difference between an American city and a European city in terms of noise alone :) Zurich's tram system is honestly something that every city should dream of having, and it is as quiet as one could hope for.

Remote attacks (e.g. say having a zero day in the sms messenger app. Not talking about remote in the sense of phishing emails are sent remotely or when attackers target service providers instead of users) typically get noticed and fixed really fast if they are used en masse. In practise it is much more common for attackers to pick specific targets in order to preserve how long their vector lasts for.

>Tools like Dall-E-2 and Stable Diffusion have been criticized for reproducing racial stereotypes even when a text prompt doesn’t imply the subject’s race. Such biases were why Google decided not to release Imagen, which had been trained on LAION.

The supernova occurred when the year on Earth was 1381, and the light from that event took 642.5 years to reach us, just like from our perspective it takes 10 hours to send a transmission to Voyager 1; I don't think anyone agrees it would be 'more correct' to say that Voyager transmitted its reponse in the instant that we receive it on Earth, rather than 10 hours prior. This is how I've seen astronomers routinely describe both of these things, so even if it is a simplification I don't think either of my statements are wrong.

I think the 'on Earth' was implied; I doubt anyone who read that thought I was referring to the passage of time from the perspective of the photon, for example.
I just got back from a couple of weeks vacation and found two ox64 (and some CH32V003 boards too) waiting for me.

I will never forget the afternoon I spent in traffic court. I was just about last. I was absolutely appalled at the situations people were in and the fined being they were charged with. Every single person seemed to end up with a fine I’m 99% sure they couldn’t afford to pay.

When my turn came up I agreed to my comparative measly $125 fine and got the whole ordeal over with. When I went to pay the total cost was some $300+ dollars. Fees for every single thing you could imagine had been tacked on. It was a complete scam.

I can’t believe this exists. It’s tragic and terrible.

The Iona and Peter Opie Archive
(From the website)

Iona and Peter Opie were folklorists who pioneered the study of childhood culture, past and present, in Britain. They were well known for their many classic books, including the Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes (1951), The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren (1959), Children's Games in Street and Playground (1969), The Classic Fairy Tales (1974), and The People in the Playground (Iona Opie, 1994).

> I grew up on the internet, learning from people in chatrooms and forums which were strong communities where most of my personal adult relationships have come from

^ you. I didn't "insert" it. You're saying that most of your "personal adult relationships" came from chatrooms and forums.

Now, OK, maybe your point really was that you're somehow better at all of this because you "grew up on the internet" and the rest of us didn't, but I'm just going to go back to what I originally wrote: I also did that, and still, all of the best things in my career came from seeing people, in person.

There's no magical set of forum skills I'm lacking that makes up the difference; it's just a case where the camaraderie of working closely with someone, in real life, outweighs the virtual.

Which really goes to demonstrate how ridiculous this is.

The iPhone is a coin-operated software runtime. You pay for it at the register and buy the right to own the phone, but your ownership of the software is constantly jeopardized. Everything you use for free you take for granted, and everything you pay for is rent-extracted by the world's largest company.

It's a harmful business. You can argue there are benefits, but the surcharge for simply using the Apple runtime is asinine. It should be loathed and shunned from the highest court, rendered unconscionable for any company of any size. Apple and Google can charge a 90% tax on their app stores for all I care. Those stores simply need competition to compel non-harmful practice. Otherwise, they're completely unaccountable. They've already proven this with their non-cooperation in the browser industry.
So theoretically you should be able to grab an .ipa package with a native browser today and load it on your device in developer mode or through your enterprise program. The fact that not a single one actually exists seems more due to a technological limitation than the fact that no one has bothered to build it yet.
