If I'm being generous, I think the point the author was trying to make with that introduction is that the concept of property as a social construct is an extension of animals protecting physical objects such as food, different than the concept of owning an intangible work. If he was as smart as he clearly thinks he is, he'd realize that once you introduce the idea of owning things beyond objects you can physically defend 100% of the time (something the vast majority of people support), whether or not it's actually a physical object becomes much less important compared to the fundamental idea of socially protected ownership.
It’s spectacular and super weirdly bad. So many bugs and issues.

Oddly my OWC thunderbolt dock/switch somehow manages to provide it’s gigabit nic my surfacebook 3 over an _active_ thunderbolt cable. But the surfacebook doesn’t have thunderbolt support at all! So somehow the USB fallback and the display attached via a usb-c to displayport cable works. If I plug a real thunderbolt device in, it can see them and tries to enumerate them, which of course fails and throws up a malfunction message, stating that the thunderbolt device does not work correctly. Then it bluescreens…

Ask HN: Should the US lower its debt and balance its budget?
In the recent debt ceiling coverage by the mass media, there were lots of technical discussions on how to raise the debt ceiling, but they seemed to be missing the crucial part of whether the US even needs low debt and a balanced budget. What is the debt level/GDP that is optimal? Can/should it be increased given unique position of US in the global economic system? What is the current state of the issue among economists and researchers?
Thank you.

It's increasingly hard not to be cynical but I've been through the cynicism phase a few times and I know how useless it is.
This is brilliant - the idea and the execution. Love it.

I encountered a slight bug. When I first scrolled through it, the 'outside the club background ambience' sound never stopped and I found it quite distracting, especially when listening to the examples.

After I had scrolled up to the beginning and then down again it stopped - so I assume first time was a glitch. If you encounter it too, I suppose it is not intentional.

I’m sympathetic to the idea of providing some means of posthumous support to an author’s widow and children.

I’m rather less sympathetic when it manifests as an exclusive monopoly lasting well into the lifetime of the third, fourth, or even fifth generation of descendants.

Agree with some of what you say... in the case of fundamental rights. But that's not what the article is referring to. Vetocracy in practice is usually small minorities of privileged people protecting their right to keep things that aren't even theirs - in the case of NIMBYism, their "right" to keep a neighborhood from changing in any way, whether in terms of what types of homes are allowed to build there (no multifamily homes, even if they're constructed to be indistinguishable from the other homes!), whether there should be street parking should or not (of course, already wealthy detached home owners love being able to park their vehicles on public streets, at all other taxpayers expense), whether a bike lane should be allowed to pass through the neighbourhood or not (looking at you Chelsea Kensington), if a school, hospital, 7-11 or any other kind of service or business should be allowed to be built in the area or not etc etc. These are things best decided by majority and not left to vetocracy.
A few years ago I was living in San Diego county and thought my car was stolen. Called the police and when the officer showed up he said “let me put your plates into our system to see if any of our license plate readers picked it up”

I asked him where the readers were, thinking there were maybe a handful around the county. He responded by saying “oh they’re everywhere, if your car went half a mile from your house we will have it scanned”. He did all this directly in his patrol car without any sort of obvious oversight. When I glanced at the screen it showed EVERYWHERE I had driven in the past month.

It was quite shocking from a privacy perspective to realize this

I realised that “It’s okay” can have three very different meanings:

“It’s okay!” => (reassuringly), it’s fine, perhaps even great.

“It’s okay” => (honestly), it’s neither good nor bad.

“It’s okay” => (politely) This is terrible.

For some reason non-native speakers and the occasional yank have problems with this.

Nirvana fallacy is only true when the argument is completely implausible, like "when humans sprout wings, we won't need airplanes anymore." However, the article is making the valid point that copyright is just a social construct. It is not something physical, like wings, and under a different culture and/or political system it might be unnecessary.
Maybe if I went to a more challenging school (I was already a straight A student who did all homework in class) I might not have needed a full time job during High School to drill some work ethic into me?

And I think a lot of people saying kids shouldn't work during school didn't have poor parents and the problems those conditions create if you can't take your destiny into your hands before that magical 18th birthday when you can do anything you want.
I can already see AI Doomers predicting total catastrophe from this project.
As others have pointed out, the natural rights argument is off-putting. It’s also unnecessary.

Copyright is explicitly defined in law as a limited time monopoly granted by government.

Don’t use the word “property” or “intellectual property” or any property based argument in discussing copyright. Even using the term concedes the point. Copyright is not property, it is a limited government-granted monopoly. Stick to that definition and don’t give any credence to “intellectual property is property “. It isn’t. You can discuss all other aspects of impact of copyright without agreeing that it is property.
Doesn't reddit's website use an API? It's new.reddit.com seems like some single page app bullshit, right?

The real problem you will run into though is that Reddit will restrict what you can access without login. They already tried to flip the switch once on requiring login to access NSFW content, and had to backtrack at least temporarily. I'm not exactly sure why they had to, but supposedly they have now added some missing feature to their web version that allows upload of NSFW content on desktop, so maybe they're ready to unpause. And the official API will block NSFW so I think that's returning. And once you login, scraping will earn a ban. Reddit is also very over zealous with IP bans.
It's not just about work ethic. It's about social skills. I worked as a lifeguard for 6 years and the amount of skills I picked up from socializing with the parents and children really helped me out. I probably learned a lot more from that job than I did at school. I learned things about psychology and raising children as I saw a lot of parents with different styles and got to follow their kids as they grew up. I learned about responsibility and showing up on time. I learned how to manage money. And probably most importantly I learned how to talk to adults. It was my most rewarding and fond memory of my childhood.

The alternative life path was basically me staying at home for hours playing Diablo 2.
As far as I'm concerned, everything that's out now is just early adopter tech demo stuff. Eventually the batteries will have more energy and no lithium, and by then the charging stations will be everywhere, and then EVs will probably quickly take over.

Business people like things they can directly observe with steady progress and milestones, so I doubt they'd go for "Hey let's build charging stations nobody will use for 20 years, then switch to EVs all at once as soon as the tech is actually ready".

I wonder how things would be different if commerical projects were more waterfall-y and less gradual?
Why does the elite automatically have to be out of touch? They are the most invested in it all and are incentivized to have a functional state. Democratically elected representatives have no such incentive. Their only incentive is to convince enough people to grant them power.

An aristocratic monarchy is preferable to an oligarchical “democracy” like we have today.
Tal is my favorite player and what got me playing chess again. Watching his games is very entertaining with his relentless attacks and sacrifices.

And your point is?

To the extent that there is any - it's that it's awfully negligent (on the part of Brussels), and stupid (of Kyiv) to be handing the enemy such a picture-perfect propaganda play. In fact, just about the shrillest of optics and meme fodder that Putin's sycophants could ever wish for, in their wettest and wildest of dreams:

"Actual Nazis, with NATO weapons, crossing into the Motherland!"

> I do not see the ever-increasing terms of copyright being "for limited Times."

Neither do I, but the Supreme Court disagreed in Eldred v. Ashcroft.

> In a 7-2 opinion delivered by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Court held that Congress acted within its authority and did not transgress constitutional limitations in placing existing and future copyrights in parity in the CTEA. Disagreeing with the argument that a copyright once set is fixed, the majority found that the CTEA "continues the unbroken congressional practice of treating future and existing copyrights in parity for term extension purposes," and is a permissible exercise of Congress's power under the Copyright Clause. … Justices John Paul Stevens and Stephen G. Breyer dissented, arguing that the CTEA amounted to a grant of perpetual copyright that undermined public interests.

How so? At that point it's a small cost buried (read: hidden) in much larger cost. Who is going to go to the mat for "the kidz" if no one is going to notice the savings?

This is the real reason I like the idea of UBI. It’s not because I want to do nothing all day, it’s because I want to shift the power dynamic. For example, imagine a worker living paycheck-to-paycheck who needs their employer-provided health insurance, with an asshole boss who refuses to let them take a day off to attend a family member’s funeral: the UBI improves their ability to tell that boss to get fucked without ending up broke and homeless.

Basically I’m for any system that allows people to tell bad bosses to get fucked.

Also a good argument for universal health care.
just like proof of work, this favors those who already have power & resources. the wealthy, corporations, etc.
We need Copyright very much, it's the only way to enforce the so called Copyleft:

I mean sure, the situation isn't ideal, but being invaded by Russia isn't either. Besides, who knows if it is worth trade off? Maybe it will force Russia to deploy more forces to guard their borders and leave open opportunities for the counter offensive that wouldn't otherwise happen. We can't say yet whether it is a stupid move until it plays out.
> "but that's not in line with profit/corruption... so it won't ever happen."

That right there is what saddens me more than almost anything else about modern "civilized society". Too much of humanity has come to not only accept that "profit/corruption at any cost is perfectly normal" mindset, but some actually even try to defend it. It's often the root cause of so many of humanity's worst nightmare scenarios (many of which are coming true "in realtime" these days), yet many of us will fight to the death against any change of the "status quo", despite the fact that it's highly likely to literally kill us all (as well as other life that lives here alongside us). Just because "it's always been done that way" (It hasn't, BTW. Constant change is more typically the normal state of reality, and it's pretty much always been that way.) doesn't mean it's ever been the right way or the best way.
I've worked with people from a lot of different cultures in various scientific and technical situations, with mostly North Americans in more nebulous "business" situations.

What I'd generalize is that on technical matters, there are few communication issues across cultures. People are able to make themselves understood and collaborate, even in the face of language barriers. On the other hand, even simple business discussions within one's own culture can because quickly ridiculous, with big misunderstandings, nobody saying what they mean, politics, etc. Cynically I think it's because business is mostly bullshit so comes down to irrelevant political stuff.
Keep reading. The next paragraph:

> It was clear, in any case, from a range of reports, that they were all, or nearly all, drawn from the great underage labor pool of children who have crossed the border in recent years. “Unaccompanied minors” who arrive from non-neighboring countries—which, in effect, means Central America—are permitted to remain in the U.S. and are remanded to the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services, which delivers them as quickly as possible to a sponsor while asylum applications are processed. The asylum processing typically takes years.

The problem seems to be driven by undocumented workers crossing the border. There are a lot of dangerous second order effects from having a porous border and this is one of them.

It's also interesting how they talk about it. "crossed the border". You won't find Mexico, undocumented or migrant in the rest of the text. Without a careful reading you'd think these are lower middle class American's sending their children to coal mines because free school lunch plans were cut due to austerity. There is only one mention of "the border" in the last paragraph:

> Republicans say that the problem is an insecure border.
You don't follow the argument because it isn't grounded in logic, it's an attempted rationalization of an emotional response. The attempt should perhaps be viewed with pity, more than anything else.
That's interesting but can you link the Russian soldiers to the bioweapons research lab in Wuhan where the first known spread there occurred? (The so called wet market red herring)

It seems highly implausible that Russian solders landed infected in Wuhan without spreading it everywhere around the airport and personnel. We were told the first known spread occurred near the wet market where the bioresearch lab is located.

I grew up in the tropics where it's hot and humid all year round. It's very energy sapping, and you feel drenched all the time and are in no mood to do any kind of brain work. With the proliferation of A/C, things became more bearable, but there was still the notion that true brain work is done in temperate climates. Heat was oppressive to intellectual work.

And for me, it turned out to be true. When I moved to North America, I thrived intellectually in the fall, winter and spring seasons. It was so much easier to concentrate and think when your body isn't overheating.

Of course, summers in the northeast however are hot and humid and not conducive to intellectual work unless you had A/C. (I didn't in my apartment, so I hung out in the computer labs at school 16 hours every day)

Yep — I’m a big proponent of explaining the intuition; I even go for intuition first, because it’s only by having a notion of what you want to discuss that you can make a meaningful formalism. After all, how do you know what the right formalism would be without an intuitive notion of what you’re trying to model?

But when you want to resolve a question like “what can we say about continuity and differentiation?” suddenly the answer depends intimately on your formalism. And the only way to resolve that we have conflicting ideas about the intuition for “continuous” and “differentiable” is for us both to formalize that intuition in a model — then compare the two to see where we disagree.

- - - - -

As an aside, you can formalize the notion of infinitesimals, but it requires a lot more machinery which introduces its own quirks. And it was only because we formalized calculus (and tried to formalize all of math) that we had sufficiently advanced model theory. I won’t claim to be an expert, but the topic is Nonstandard Analysis. I believe similar constructions show up in game theory and quantum mechanics.

I'd venture that the majority complain because it isn't reciprocal. Artists pirating productivity software are committing a crime. Leaks of proprietary code are a problem for people trying to implement the same things, because now they have to prove that they haven't seen the leak or their own work comes into question.

If you're some massively capitalized corporation building an LLM however, the copyrights of little people don't mean anything.

UBI is a solution to the problem of structural unemployment when due to advances in automation we don't have enough reasonable jobs for people who are capable of working, when we don't really want everyone to work as much.

If we need everyone who can work to actually work, if we want to force people to work with a threat that if they don't contribute to society then they'll be (for example) homeless - well, then we don't (yet) need UBI and should not implement UBI until(if) we get the problem which UBI would fix.
