I don't disagree with your initial point, copyright does indeed work to allow people to make income on things they've produced in the past. I think where we disagree is on that being a bad thing.

It costs huge amounts of money to make a TV show, even one that doesn't look technically demanding. You summarise it as "gatekeeping access to already-produced digital files", when as I'm sure you know the costs here aren't the incremental cost of providing you with a copy of that file, the costs are the initial production of the contents of that file which is amortised over however many thousands or millions of people are going to watch it.

As fun as theatre can be, I don't think you'll get many people deciding they want to go and watch the live stage production of the new Mission Impossible (unless I guess every night they blow up the entire theatre, but then you have the same issues of cost).

In my opinion copyright law is overreaching now. The fact that Tolkien's children are still raking in money from his work is somewhat ridiculous to me, there should definitely be better limitations on copyright length, with work entering the public domain sooner than it does now, but I don't think the system is fundamentally broken.
Truly stable countries don't have coups at all. A coup of any kind is a sign of instability.
It has one good use case, IMO: when you want to mention someone on Twitter at the start of a tweet but without solely directing the tweet at them like a reply. For example: "So @otherperson built this cool thing..." Some people use a single "." at the start of a tweet to the same end but I think it looks hacky.
"Fracking" for geothermal wells will supposedly not use toxic fluids. The reasons they're used for oil and gas extraction does not necessarily apply to geothermal wells.

There are some concerns about micro earthquakes and other disturbances if it's done near towns.

It seems like not using fracking, and just making several vertical lined bore holes might be better anyway though. In the best case you don't need any active pumps to drive the loop, so it can be much simpler.

This is very geographically dependent. There are many places where piracy is the primary way, with most primary school children already knowing their way around a BitTorrent client and whatever the biggest tracker in the country is. With software like Jellyfin/Plex and the -arr suite, it only takes one tech-savvy relative to have the whole extended family and friends watching pirated media like genuinely easier Netflix.
So what exactly is the point of calling it racial discrimination then?

We should point it out when it happens. Most of us know what sorts of stunts were pulled with Jim Crow era laws. None of these were explicably racist on paper, but we all know they intended racism and exclusion. And these sorts of policies continue that tradition, even if it wasn't meant to.

If a policy winds up being discriminatory like this, we should call it out and change it. Not doing so means silently agreeing with the discrimination. The justification matters little.

Isn't every single policy racist then?

Obviously not.

When we teach math to children we don’t start with algebraic structures and proofs. We give them simple recipes.

This is not mathematics, but arithmetic/calculating. When one starts teaching not-children-anymore mathematics (typically at the university), one indeed starts with something of the kind of algebraic structures and proofs.

> The causal leap from flamboyant hackers to the DMCA/CFAA

That isn't much of a leap. The penalties aren't rooted in the actual damages, because for most of this kind of curiosity-based intrusion, there isn't any real damage and the damage imputed to them is the cost of cleaning up after the vulnerability, which the "victim" ought to have paid regardless. Getting trolled by some kid isn't what costs you money, implementing a vulnerability that allows some kid to troll you is.

The reason the penalties are high is because of that embarrassment. Some major institution that ought to have done better gets pwned by some pranksters and they lose face. So they want to throw the book at the guy to deter anyone else, not from maliciously causing them undue harm, but from making a fool of them in public.

But blaming the youth for bragging about it is blaming the victim. The perpetrators are the institutions that abuse the law, and the process of creating the law, to severely punish not evildoers but the child who points out that the emperor has no clothes.

Very good. Meritocracy for the win. Not skin, not sobstory, skill and talent.

Some worries though:

Reproducing learning is way over-evaluated, as it can be reliably tested. Its the most worthless skill though, ever since the internet was invented. The ability to recombine approaches and create novel solutions to novel problems, that adhere to engineering approaches and principles, thats were the money is.
Hard to test for that and i guess the tiger-mum kids will have to learn TRIZ inside out.

Also i find the cohort timing pressure detrimental. In my opinion, the option to study (because you are bored and dissatisfied with your station in life) should be open to anyone at any time. Even if it does not work out, it creates the ability to move and propels the person on.

Finally, i would detach the political and not society survival relevant pieces of university from the other parts. Sports, sociology, arts go into one university, physics, math, machine building, biology, chemistry and agriculture go into another. Keep the whole bipartisanship from the science.

About 6 years ago I was brought in as a Azure/operation consultant to help bid on a "project". Basically a sister-company had built a webapp for a client and we where to bid on hosting and migration away from the current fly-by-night hosting partner.

The specs called for a Kubernetes cluster and a Cassandra database cluster for production and the same for testing. Everything about this project was presented as being highly complex. Digging into it with the client and the developers we reduced it to: One Docker container running in Azure websites and CosmosDB on the backend, which could basically run on the free tier.

The whole thing hold less than 3GB of data and had maybe a few hundred requests per day. The client just loved the idea that they where special, dealing with massive amount of data and required scalability to keep costs under control. The developers more or less just ran with it and wanted to do Kubernetes and Cassandra sounded interesting and now they had a client that would pay for it. Technically I suppose that both Kubernetes and Cassandra where reasonable choices, had they had 1000x the load, but given their market they where never going to grow beyond 10x on this particular solution.

We didn't get the contract. Our bid was insanely low (not really worth the cost of bringing in a new contractor), delivered something different that asked for (fair enough).
As much as I liked the Dune books, if you're looking for "realistic sci-fi", Dune just isn't it, it's purely fantasy. One of the main premises the whole story rests upon is the idea of genetic memory, which isn't real. Lord of the Rings is more realistic than this. And that's just one point; there's a bunch of other stuff in Dune that really makes no sense in our universe.

My first internship was as a Dynamics AX dev. Me and another guy. Our mentor was a super-duper senior architect something something. He once asked us what we were planning on doing, career-wise, and we were kinda surprised; obviously we were working towards becoming Dynamics AX devs, and were hoping for a job at that place.

He got a somewhat wistful look in his eyes, and said (more to himself than to us) he wished he could go back and choose not to do that.

I'll never forget that. He was earning an insane amount of money, working super high-level at one of the largest IT firms in the country.

That Netflix is worth is more than Comcast or Disney is a symptom of people's madness around shares in tech startups. Netflix's entire thing is charging people a few dollars a month to stream video, its a solid service, and they deserve to do well.

In no world is that worth more than Disney, who own the rights to some of the world's best known franchises, several theme parks, retail stores, and quite a bit more I'm forgetting off the top of my head. Oh, and they have a service you can pay a few dollars a month for streaming video as well.

Looks like you have experience prototyping certain kinds of social sites, you're looking for subscribers that check in daily for fresh content with a side serving of chat and some sense of fan like interest.

There are wider circles for this kind of thing and it can span countries starting from your region (maybe).

Perhaps look into how people trade and talk about fresh goods daily (vegetables, meat, fish, farm goods), land and houses (real estate deals, land release data from local government), stock and investments (daily public releases from whatever stock exchanges serve your nexus of countries).

That adds to your challenges as you might not know anything about these markets, you are still left with the challenge of finding sufficient core subscribers and promoting for expansion, but it might be the kind of poke in the eye that makes you look about with a different mindset at the wants and needs of those with money doing deals on a daily basis.

"Programmers" is ill defined. Once it meant translating maths and engineering specs for assemblers. Now it can mean anything from someone writing verified and audited device drivers for robotics to designers a/b testing retail workflows. In the last century, 'programming' became a major economic and technological field of activity.

To think some new 'programming' tool will make it shrink is not at all warranted. Tools that make computer programming more accessible, more flexible and more powerful will increase demand for people who can reason about it, work on it, teach it, evaluate it etc etc.

I do not think it is possible to use rust on a commetcial airplane, above DAL E. See the DO-178(B) 11.8 a.
"For a programming language, reference the data that unambigously defines the syntax, the control behaviour, the data behaviour and side-effects of the language".

If the language has no standard, like rust, you have to essentially create a standard. Afaik rust has no documentation which satisfies those requirements in any way.
The change from 1.1 to 2.0 completely missed the Norman invasion which introduced Norman French as the new language in town. Everything which happened later was heavily influenced by that.
Some jobs like bar work or physiciatric work carry risks of physical altercation etc.

In prostitution the physical encounter is the whole job, there's no avoiding it. Your body is the product.

Sex itself is also highly exceptional emotionally. Your body reacts to sexual behavior neurochemical in a way that's incomparable to really any other activity, and it's unique in how it can affect your relationships and self perception.

Please note that I make No judgement against sex workers when I say this.

> In evening peak hours geothermal wouldn't be competing with PV directly but rather PV via battery storage

And in many parts of the world, it would not be competing with PV at all during many days of winter, when cloud cover and incidence angle are so bad PV goes into single digit percentage of its peak output. Because then even batteries won't save PV.

> Where he notes that the .NET implementation wasn't without issues on Midori.

Indeed. In my opinion and experience async/await is a very leaky abstraction. I think it is definitely not worth it in most languages. Whether it is appropriate for rust I'm unconvinced. I think it is DOA in C++ with its required allocation, but I have yet to use it in anger.

From the other side of the water, as an art teacher, I can say that I really appreciate the precision of computer/software engineers. Artists/designers can be so 'fuzzy', so 'hand wavey' and so prone to mystification and grandification.

A good subscription plan is often capped at 10-15/month, with full access to the game. This is cheap entertainment if you are already playing even 3-5 hours a month, and a good way to fund on-going development.

Contrast that to unlocking a hero/character (the 'fast' way) alone will cost that much, and you still don't have access to everything.

The reason why F2P with that kind of incentive is popular among developers is that it's a good way to artificially inflate your playerbase with tons of people playing the game for 'free' while you manipulate the 'whales' (the addicts) into paying an insane amount to offset costs.

I am against institutional language standards that exist in some languages, because using the language freely how you want is a part of basic freedom. That being said, speaking with some level of control lets us exchange thoughts in a more organized way, and not just the same bag of soundbites all the time. It also shows, as a small thing, that we value striving for some improvement.

It feels that it becomes an increasingly minority position, and what's left in the discussion is at best intelligentsia's coping mechanisms making use of isolated facts of history. Yes, there were always "lowbrow" language and culture, but what matters is the context of the whole stylistic gradient functioning. Of course there has been some legitimacy in these changes initially, when compared strictly to the oppressive, conformist "bourgeois" "high modern" culture of let's say 1850-1950. History moves in random directions, so who knows.
