I'm not sure how that has to do with abolishing copyright, when that mostly has to do with weak and skewed protections current laws offer. They're not allowed to take names off copyrighted text, which is partly why that name is still on that paywalled text. They're not effectively forbidden by law to purchase to become a corporate owner of copyright, which is how they get to paywall it in their name.

If they, in loose usage of the pronoun, were allowed to deface an art, papers, code, anything copyrighted, they will. Stripping copyright text could even become an "etiquette". Conversely, if they were not allowed to profit off of a thing, copyrighted, with appropriate enforcement, they won't. These should go without saying for core Internet users and software engineers.

I mean, haven't you heard what Oracle just said?
> there's nothing like pure merit if you are talking about not-ideal backgrounds. those folks are already heavily disadvantaged.

I’m guessing you’re not from this background?

Low income people have a huge amount of programs available to them that decrease or entirely remove that disadvantage. as one example over 20 years my school district placed imacs and cable internet connections into low income homes for everybody in the district that qualified, and paid the internet bill for a year.

Ask HN: How to start selling self-written eBooks online in 2023
Hey HN,

As a long-time reader and first-time poster, I wanted to get advice regarding getting started with selling and marketing self-written and self-published eBooks. What are the best platforms to publish on? How do I go about marketing? What should I be charging? I'm very new to this, so I hope I can get some valuable insights from others who have been down this road and made some mistakes and learned from them.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback, as this is my first time asking about something like this online.

Thanks.

Well, we can't know. Maybe it would be trivial, maybe it could keep your data safe for 5ore years. Maybe it could double the cost to crack.

No one can know at the moment, hence the trade off, if it costs very little to do a longer key, why not do a longer key?
Love the concept of a working memory score for code.

> the number of distinct pieces of program state that a developer needs to keep in their head when analysing a function and the impact this has on the understandability and maintainability of code.

The same concept applies not just to writing code, but to any context that you need to load up in order to do your work. E.g. context when jumping into a meeting or when reviewing a new project spec.

In those cases, one of the key things is being able to offload what you don't need in your working memory right now to some other solution (usually notes). More on that here https://www.stashpad.com/blog/working-memory

You can return value to shareholders that doesn’t come out of profits. For example, selling off your assets doesn’t make you profit, but gives you cash on hand. If that money is returned to shareholders, you’ve changed your balance sheet, but haven’t made any profit. An even simpler example is just selling the company to someone else. The shareholders get whatever the agreed on price was to take it private.

The other issue is these companies aren’t really beating spacex with mass production- rocket engines being a good example - spacex has manufactured well over 700 Merlin engines. So when these companies claim they are going to undercut spacex dramatically with ‘mass production’ (10x spacex) they never get close to that and many struggle with basic reliability
In "The Information," James Gleick discusses a concept related to our current discourse. In the days when computers were merely an array of switching circuits, luminaries such as Claude Shannon believed that "thinking" could be captured in a structured format of logical representation.

However, even with formally composable languages like JavaScript, a semblance of unpredictability — akin to the "faerie logic" metaphor — still persists. Languages evolve over time; Python, for instance, with its various imports that constantly disrupt my code, serves as a good example. This is perhaps the reason behind the emergence of containers to ensure code consistency.

While some elements may be more "composable" than others, it appears increasingly unrealistic in today's world to encapsulate thought processes or interactions with systems within a rigid logical framework. Large Language Models (LLMs) will keep evolving and improving, making continual interaction with them unavoidable. The notion that we can pass a set of code or words through them once and expect a flawless result is simply illogical.

I firmly believe that any effective system should incorporate a robust user interaction component, regardless of the specific task or problem at hand.

They can't know that however, they may say it but they can't know it. Hence why not choose key lengths by looking at encoding and decoding resource usage instead of crackability.

I'm not sure why you are not understanding that not getting residuals is not the same as not getting a salary or a per writing contribution payment. Or that production companies are not paying these salaries (and the rest of the production budget) out of the kindness of their hearts, but out of revenues accrued from networks and streaming services having to pay to screen their shows.

Or that writers will not be paid anything (and certainly not by streaming services) in a copyright-free world in which anybody is allowed to use any creative work in any way free of charge. The abolition of copyright laws is literally the abolition of virtually[1] all existing rewards for creating IP.

This is not complicated stuff: if it's genuinely news to you that writers aren't working for free, perhaps you are not the person to lecture us on how copyright should work.

[1]I guess writers could still ask for donations. They could do this already, but they prefer negotiating with networks for higher pay packages...
I saw RedHat backport kernel bugs... we had one that bricked VLAN support on certain NIC that was put into Centos 5.

For those that do not know, RHEL kernels are a bit of an abomination with both bugfixes and new features backported, just so they can tell to customers that the kernel version is "stable" (which is a bit of clown fiesta as Linux doesn't break backward compat on kernel level anyway) and that was one of the things mis-backported and not even tested, just copied bug from upstream.

.... which half a year later got backported to Centos 6 too...

They also do nasty shit like re-enabling/backporting legacy ciphers to software (like OpenSSH) that removed them or disabled them in code base. So you go thru audit, there are points about not using this and that now-insecure ciphers, but you look and see "hey, this one was disabled by default in <current version of OpenSSH in RHEL>, we're fine", and discover that you're NOT fine because RHEL in their infinite wisdom enabled it by default because some old legacy customers needed it and couldn't be bothered to edit their own configs.

But the activity of "attempting to find explanations" is specific.

The entire premise of your comment is false, since energy retailer margins are sub 5%. Considering the UK government has directly been engaged in numerous schemes which have dramatically increased the wholesale price of energy, a 5% cost saving won't even help anyone. Prices are rising by 4x that yearly with the money printers and war machine turned up to 11.
> e.g. electricity providers that add energy to the grid.

It makes sense that energy production should be competitive. But for energy supply I can choose from dozens of companies that all supply the same gas/electricty, using the same pipes. These energy supply companies are really just billing operations. The actual supply of electricity is done by National Grid, another private company, but with no competition. Same for gas, and Centrica.

I can't even discriminate between them based on whether they're likely to go bust; when an energy supplier goes bust, some other supplier is forced to take on all their customers. That is an incentive to not run the company finances responsibly (whther you're the one that goes bust, or the one that is forced to take over).

Regulators are consistently hopeless. Regulatory capture is part of it - half the executives in these companies used to work for the regulator. But part of it is that you simply can't make a competitive market just by having a regulator tell you how much profit you're allowed to make.
What was bad about it? Did they just do:

bool hasAccess = HasAccess(token);

private bool HasAccess = token: Jwt => {
return IsLoggedIn(token)
&& IsActive(token)
&& HasRbacPermission(token);
}

If so, what's wrong with that? It moves the complexity of HasAccess out of whatever is checking for access, before presumably doing other things.

What a humiliating outcome for the EU. Big on words, dwarf in actions.

The US is unlikely to ever properly regulate its treasured "big tech".

As the footprint of digital services on our lives keeps increasing the EU must decide what sort of society and economy it really is.

Hardly a pro, but I've sold exactly three copies of the one track I put on BC. I got a reasonable payout. BC definitely take a fee, but it's not "insane".

I'm fairly confident that selling via BC gives artists a significantly higher % per item than selling through a label or physical media through bricks & mortar. The artist gets to keep 100% of copyright this way, too. The artist probably has less reach and lower volume of sales this way unless they're great with self promo or can get in with DJs/tastemakers in a scene.

Happy to be schooled if I'm in error, but "scummy" isn't a word I'd use for BC.

I generally don't either, but I wonder: are you more comfortable with running a docker image without internet access? You can firewall your host so the container can't access it and assign an internal network to the container.

They don't make any money unless they give the customers what they want, that's the whole point. It's so basic even animals have an instinct for it. That's why government and private business shouldn't be mixed.

Yes, and it worked hilariously well, because we've worked on bridge technologies for things like this: whether it's local proxies to strip or modify SSL or even just render an entire page as an image and transport it to the old browser as-is.

Solutions will come and go. Hell, what's stopping someone from building an on-device VPN that does the SSL translation itself?
Stack depth isn’t an issue for me typically. I assume the function is named correctly and the operation it represents is the operation needed at this point. If I find errors (why did we “getLighterColor” and from the resulting object expect to find a fruit name?), then I investigate the called function to see if it really does stuff a banana into a color and ask its author “wat?” And that’s because the contents of a function the current code depends on should be correct based on its name.

Type tracking though, oh yes. How many times have I been debugging old JS code where someone forgot or misunderstood that this date is a string and not a Date.

Build servers are a thing, and using a mac as a build node is hilariously complicated and unstable when compared to linux. When my developers push to git the android app is built & tested & uploaded to the store automatically. We also have this working for iOS but it requires a mac in a closet that needs manual maintenance every month or so when apple breaks something again. The linux servers are generally hands-off. Also, android builds are about 10x faster because they run on a machine with 128gb ram and a big cpu which isn't even possible with a mac (and even if it was, I'm sure apple would charge an insane amount for it).
