We don't. Now that the internet is a thing [0], you wouldn't have too many writers even if every person on earth wrote a hundred books each. The only problem is that there is (AFAIK) no good place for discovering books / searching for books based on anything but the coursest categories, and the long tail of less popular books is more-or-less completely hidden. This is something that I find rather peculiar, since these days many social media sites are rather eager to expose you to the long tail of less popular content in your extremely specific preferred niches, so why doesn't any service do the same for books? I, as a reader, would be very interested in something like that, instead of seeing the same books-du-jour everywhere I go.

At the small scale, what are the desirable properties of a non capitalist book system? Would all reward and compensation for writing books (physically published or ebook) be dictated by a central authority? Would individual authors be assigned the topics they would be compensated for? Would they be audited for unauthorized use of AI? Would popularity of the books play a role at all, and if so by what means would authors be protected from effort-stealing? If not, why would we believe the right books would be produced and approved?

There's a lot of space between "necessary" and "convenient" here. Sure, if you know how to root the phone and program it you can do literally anything.

But the bigger and more important point is that Android and Apple (whoever the parties are) have perhaps subconsciously colluded to exclude simple and important functions on our phones -- which are no longer "general purpose computers" -- if ANY of these machines are. E.g. anything convenient that the Apple ecosystem machines can do should be readily available anywhere.

Or to better generalize it, how I use my phone and computer ought to be limited only by the machine and my imagination. There should nearly literally be no such thing as a feature I wish for that I can't have, period.
Neither low% nor any% speedruns of Super Metroid or Castlevania: SotN require the use of glitches. From personal experience, Super Metroid is beatable with less than 20% completion without using any glitches at all. Sequence breaking is not a glitch (which is an actual bug).

But also Hollow Knight, Salt and Sanctuary and Axiom Verge are some pre-BotW games that I've personally played where you can rush the credits without experiencing a significant portion of the game once you've gotten out of the early game.

shout out to Chrono Trigger and Super Mario World which, while not metroidvanias, have the same "rush the final objective once you can with minimum exploration" vibe that many of them have.

Another excellent, but quite dense, resource I've found helpful for implementing my own waveguide models is Physical Audio Signal Processing, a book available as a hard copy and online [1]. There are also an absolute ton of research papers on these topics which have failed to be summarized anywhere or cited outside the small circle of researchers, so there's a ton of institutional knowledge about physical modeling locked up in academic papers that isn't super accessible.

In the case of sports uniforms, the visible logo grants a discount on the kit.

Our youth club got a pretty good discount from Nike to switch from Adidas, but it came with the stipulation that the socks need to have the swoosh on them too. You can buy soccer socks with the swoosh at any sporting goods shop for the same price as any other soccer socks, so it's not a big deal.

Our club is a 501c3 with open books, meetings, etc and the expectation that parents are involved, so I can confirm that absolutely no logo appears on anything unless it has some sort of benefit to the club. The sales reps that visit don't assume otherwise, so it's a pretty safe bet that this is standard practice everywhere.

It's funny because of all things you can count on if you get views on YouTube is ... SCRUTINY. Right or wrong scrutiny. Every rando with some idea of how to fly ... or even none, is going to watch that video and pick it apart.

> Is this a common thing, where registrars (like Google) basically are now acting like squatters for domains that are actually open?

Yes, but it's kind of surprising to see Google doing it. I'm a bit shocked TBH. I always considered Charleston Road Registry (Google) to be "safe" in the context of not screwing users, but I guess that was a mistake.

Most of the ngTLD registries are run by business and finance people, not product people. IMO the only thing they understand is price discrimination. They're run by the kind of people that would see a dollar bill blowing in the wind and chase it off a cliff.

The biggest thing I don't want when registering a domain or managing a brand is uncertainty. However, the registries and ICANN have proven via their actions that registrants are secondary to the registries. The registries can, have, and will change pricing on existing registrants. ICANN allows it as long as it's a uniform pricing change (ie: everyone gets screwed equally).

Out of the original CNOBI (com, net, org, biz, info) domains I think .com and .net are the only ones with price controls left. I'm sure there will be effort to remove those in a short sighted money grab.

As-is, the only safe TLD is .com. It's the only one with enough registrants to resist getting screwed. All of the new TLDs are a huge risk because you have almost no rights as a registrant.

It's sad too. I think the new TLDs could be awesome for the internet if the registries were run by product people who understood that registrants need stability and long term guarantees. If anything they should be lobbying ICANN for price controls because it makes their product better for the customer. I'm sure Ethos Capital will get right on that [1]. Lol.

> In January 2021, Ethos Capital acquired Donuts after their failed bid to gain control over the .org internet domain.

I think Donuts is by far the largest TLD owner, so that gives an idea of how trustworthy the whole industry is IMO.
yeah i've always thought self driving and autonomous car fleets would be a godsend to governments. One order and you can immobilize a street, neighborhood, city or whatever. I bet it's hard to escape oppression on foot.
Probably because it's a reasonable TLD to use internally for testing

It's definitely closer to "doctor married a lawyer" levels of money than "single mother barista" levels of money, but "wealthy" normally implies enough money to live comfortably without working, not upper middle class.

Lots of mail clients and messaging apps detect domains and helpfully turn them into clickable links. None of the ones I use for work are doing this for .mov or .zip (yet), but I'm sure something will at some point and it will become a target for phishing.

I don't have a strong opinion on whether this TLD is a bad idea, but I just wanted to point out: Conflating TLDs and file extensions isn't even in the same universe of the most "obvious" mistakes many computer users can make.

Nope, nothing like that is on the horizon. Not one bit. Nothing pays even close to 30% of my programming salary.

We're seriously and indisputably talking about losing at least 2/3rd of my income if I get the next best offer in another profession.

And no, I still love programming but the commercial one I now hate. Not sure how can that be remedied. I am taking a hiatus currently but let's be real, that won't solve anything; it's a way to just hate it little less for the first 3-4 months after you're back.

I know it also STRONGLY depends on who you're working for (and the colleagues) but I've sucked at networking all my life and when I finally woke up about it I have nearly zero possibilities to get hired after an informal chat because somebody else already knows me. I got like 3-4 of these bullets and will shoot them soon enough but my faith in the result is low.

So no, I am fairly doubtful that I'll find "something I at least enjoy doing", sadly. Anything I enjoy wouldn't even pay my rent, let alone everything else after it.

Apple's license fees are a good revenue stream, but that doesn't really mean ARM will do any business.

I'm not the person you replied to, but I'm struck by two things about that Reddit post. First, all but one of the quoted people who are engineers [1], are also Musk's subordinates. And second, there are suspiciously few (as in zero) dissenters listed.

I figured these Hyundai/Kia thefts using a USB cable was some techy issue... like there was a auto technicians USB port that would disable car security if it has something plugged into it.

No.

After 5 minutes of searching you see that a USB-A connector just happens to fit perfectly over the nub in the ignition and allows you to turn it.

The problem is there is no engine immobilizer. So you can start the engine just by physically turning the ignition. I thought EI was pretty much standard on all cars post late 90's.
I totally agree, even if I hate it. There are a lot of internet users out there who have this expectation that they are owed a certain level of access for free to these services. Those expectations aren't unfounded: most content on the internet has been, more or less, free to access. It was a good time, but surely we all knew that it couldn't last forever?

The era of ultra monetization we're being ushered into is new and obviously its going to create some discomfort.

But that doesn't change the reality that these expectations are totally irrational and unreasonable. We can argue that the information should be free, that content should be accessible, that the sharing and proliferation of information without barriers of entry benefit all of us in the short and long term. But those esoteric philosophies can't win a debate against a corporations desire or fiduciary responsibility to maximize profit.

Money is tight for everyone across the board, borrowed or not (except maybe for apple). Why wouldn't they amputate the minority of users who are only costing Youtube money? I can't think of a good argument against it, other than "I hate it".

People are enraged by Netflix cracking down on account sharing, people were enraged by article paywalls, and people are and will be enraged by Youtube blocking ad blockers.

Unlike Netflix and article paywalls, Youtube has no real viable competitor. I get why the NYT allows me to bypass their paywall with a browser extension: if they truly make it impossible for me to bypass the article, I'll be able to find some other website that has reposted or reworded it. I get why Netflix allows me to bypass their account sharing: if they make it impossible for me to view the content without paying, I can just torrent it.

But Youtube is uniquely different. The product there is not just the body of content but their ecosystem which contains essentially every video on the internet and all the connective tissue to traverse billions of minutes of video. I use an adblocker on Youtube, but if they lock me out of that option, I'll still use YouTube, because where else would I go? No where.

Maybe I won't go to Youtube as often, but they'll have effectively converted me from being an extremely active viewer getting a free ride to an infrequent semi-active viewer that generates revenue.
That's basically the charges that were leveled against Man City, and they more or less got away with it.
