Personally, I fully support this "Willingham copyright". 20 years for the creators (I would have said 50, but I guess I'm greedy), and then a limited private run so that the creator can sell it and get a nice mature payment for it (again, would have gone 20 years on this, just to get the companies that are going to do a 10-movie saga plenty to salivate over), and then it's off to the public domain! Sounds perfect, to me!

My way would have kept it out of public hands for ~70 years, which feels about right to me. I don't know if I, personally, feel like content made in the 90's shouldn't profit the creator anymore. Whereas stuff from the 50's and before definitely feels like no one should be able to take ownership of it. If it stuck around that long, it's in the pop culture and belongs to all of us. "Mickey Mouse" isn't just a character, it's a touchstone for other content to riff on. That's kind of the whole point of public domain; that and reinvention.

All of that said, I guess "Ghostbusters" kind of has a similar pop culture weight so I'm happy to amend my numbers down toward Bill's. My main interest is in making sure creators get paid commensurate to the impact of their work (as opposed to the work they put in to make it), in such a way that they can make a living off any profitable endeavor for the duration of that project's viability. If 30 years works for that, then I'm completely for it!

Fantastic work here, Bill! Thank you!
There's probably other life in the universe (intelligent or not), but I doubt its ET visiting us in an FTL tractor.

Besides, the visiting methodology of these aliens wouldn't match their alleged level of advancement (unless they evolved beyond what we on Earth call common sense), if you think about it

Haha this made me laugh. If you think epic isn’t piranha then you’re living in a bubble.

Not only get it out but actively promote it as an opensource project instead of proprietary and make revenue through an asset store. Theres so few games that use source that theres no way its commercially viable on its own.
The the point is that by destimatising the subject they may actually be able to gather evidence.

I'm realizing that someone is going to hop in and say, "But that's limited to just a line of text per option with no images or real formatting."

And that's true. It's also true that's what most folks actually need in most cases. That said, another fast implementation using more markup is to have either a hidden radio button group (single selection) or bunch of hidden checkboxes (multiple selection) that are referenced by visible label tags for the rendered listbox. Doesn't break accessibility for screen readers and can even work without JS.

Browsers can do so much out of the box without us constantly reinventing the listbox wheel.

May I ask you if you ever heard of Rust? The game, not the programming language. Online survive game, which has thousands of active players every single day since like a decade already, full 3D and quite awesome graphics I'd say. It's written in Unity.

UFO conspiracy stuff is a rather narcissistic endeavour when you think about what it’s suggesting in the grand scale of things.

I’m not sure of the quality of this analysis but I had also found this the other day that suggests the relationship between conspiracy thinking and narcissism. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352250X2...

Let's be honest here. Cows are not people. Putting them at risk is not the same thing. What matters in ag operations is cost. The risk of a truck fire in the structure doesn't have to be zero, it just has to be low enough that the expected loss is tolerable.

_sigh_. OP got really hung up on the example, and it ruined the article.

There are certainly cases where linear makes sense. But beyond the length of your ticker tape memory is about it, and since that varies quite a lot from person to person, I like it best if I can choose the level of abstraction with which to read code. This has never been a problem.

Where indirection becomes a problem is inheritance and black box operations (as you might find in rails-y) frameworks. Django’s block model of extension for templates is so devious it should be considered felonious.

"Only" handwaves away a lot. It would put the characters into public domain and rob the authors of the ability to sustain themselves selling collections of early strips.

"No one will consider it authentic or canon." Citation very much needed. When there's demand for something, people will take what's offered. I would be fine with some sort of easy licensing scheme that would allow others to write stories, etc., in someone else's universe / with their characters... but they should see a taste. Especially when we're talking about mid-tier or lower-tier creators who are probably depending heavily on that large body of work to keep the lights on.
They don't have to be low-end. You can buy higher-end Chromebooks, but they cost more money. Do people remember the "netbooks" that were-super cheap Windows laptops with 10 inch screens? Even if you install Linux on it, with the 512MB or 1G (or maybe 2GB for the really highly spec'ed out netbooks), there was real limits to what they could do.

If you want something super-cheap, then perhaps it won't be useful 5 or 10 years later. You get what you pay for; this isn't unique for Chromebooks.
> give free reign to tyrants to oppress their own people

Come on, North Korean regime exists for 70 years now and it is relatively stable. You're not going to heal the world. China will continue to do whatever it wants in Tibet and Cental Asia. The only thing you get by doing interventions against the regimes you do not like, is encouraging other countries to do interventions against the regimes that they do not like.

You can nudge tyrants into becoming milder and perhaps transitioning power sometimes in the future, and that would also have a benefit of not starting civil wars and having refuge crises.
Notably a large number of bridges of the German autobahn was recently found to be dangerously unmaintained to the point where the only recommended recourse was to tear them down and rebuild them. Luckily Germany doesn't normally see significant earthquakes and the storms apparently haven't been severe enough to destroy any of them.

In my part of Germany we had a severe rain storm this week that caused local flooding in part because the sewage treatment plant could not process the intake quickly enough, resulting in the sewers getting backlogged while rain was still pouring down.

Even without outright neglect a lot of infrastructure simply can't handle situations significantly outside the standard range of operation.
We're using their "stable" release channel which means most of our clusters are currently on a version of 1.25. We only have a few deployments using PVCs so impact is pretty minimal anyways for us as far as I can tell.

Your way of dealing with complex questions is also arbitrary.

In today's economy of attention, grifters are very common and extraordinary claims like "I know for a fact that Aliens have made it to Earth and they have technologies beyond our current understanding of physics. Also there is a conspiracy to hide this fact." can rationally be ignored in the absence of irrefutable proof. At most it's entertaining to hear.
I don't think the parent was ever saying they'll be good forever. More that if they do become evil, their licensing lets you continue using a revenue structure that made sense at the time you chose it (even if new versions have super awful terms).

Interesting. I remember playing with VT-x using Intel's HAXM framework [0] that installs its own Windows driver with a much nicer user-facing API, basically does what the chapters 2, 3 and 4 of the tutorial end up implementing, so you can spin up an empty, ready to go VM already in the 64-bit mode quite easily.

Yes because intelligence officers would never lie to congress or to the public. They are established paragons of integrity and should trusted unquestionably.

Null Hypothesis = Dull Hypothesis

On our journey through life, most people develop a fairly good sense of prior probabilities and that manifests through excitement. Actual aliens? Exciting. People misinterpreting noisy information? Dull. Telephone game stories getting out of hand? Dull. People lying for clout? Dull. Prestigious people doing all of the above? Dull, dull, dull.

Equal-weighting an arbitrary list of options is a terrible prior distribution that does not tap anyone's knowledge of how the world works. Weighting by excitement, however, does exactly this. To convincingly prove aliens you need to convincingly disprove the dull alternatives. It's easy to imagine extraordinary evidence that could do this -- but I don't see any extraordinary evidence here. I see a bunch of ordinary evidence and people who want to believe.
> Hey, indie band that still scrapes by on royalties and touring? The minute your best-selling album is 10 years old, it's going to be repackaged and sold without you seeing a dime.

Yes, indeed. Will it be harder for indie bands? I don't think so. Will it be different? Sure. Will it be better for the society if you could have live concerts or disco parties with great songs? Absolutely.

Also bands play each others songs without asking or paying royalty in practice where I live. I've gone and have paid a band to perform someone elses songs. It is definitely a good thing.
Thank you! I looked at the previous Show HN submissions and tried to get a pulse on what worked better.
> In this case I hope nobody is proposing a single 1000-line god function.

this made me feel a certain type of way. (dont ever look at video game source code, by the way; 1000-lines is quite short by some standards)

if a 1000-line long main is what makes sense then you should do that.

I find 1000-line long methods which are linear far easier to read than code which has every method call broken out into its own method. it's so bad I literally can't read JavaScript that is written in the contemporary style anymore. absolutely impenetrable for me.

it's true that I am not a "real" developer in that I don't work on code full-time, but I've written probably millions of lines of code in my 30-year career. I am not a novice.

if the solution calls for a 1000-line main method, then that's what I'm writing, "best practices" can go in the corner and cry. I'm writing what I need to solve the problem and nothing more.
USB2 speeds are 100x more than enough for that.
I think this design make sense when you treat the tablet as a home fixture that happens to be able to move around. Of course you could take it with you but it isn't what the product is designed around.

The larger screen makes sense when it is used as stationary cast target while docked and allows for larger home control touch targets when your hand is floating above a stationary display.

The smaller and lighter battery makes sense because the device gets maximum value when its always returned to its dock so that its available to serve its smart home control purpose. Is it really worth having a heavier device to go beyond 12 hours straight video playback without ever going back to the dock?

That's what I was thinking. If we want transparent crypto (i.e. not security by obscurity) and the implementation is highly vetted, its "monopoly" is actually desirable.

Of course we might not even be aware of even better methods of doing crypto. But such advancements come from researchers anyway, and in that are not hindered by this monopoly.

This reminds me of something I’ve never understood about the UFO conversation- especially about people who believe in it.

Shouldn’t the conversation primarily be about radar and sensor evidence? Not videos or (worse) eyewitness accounts, which should be the thing we talk about last.

Whenever there is a field which is too complicated or hard to track accurately by humans, we turn to computers. A good example: high frequency trading. Another example: the calculations and work machines do in all kinds of factories. It’s too fast for the human mind to do and also it would be inaccurate, so we design machines that can do it, and rely on them.

I think the UFO conversation should primarily be about conversations like this: “We have this radar data which we consider trustworthy (explain why). It doesn’t have any pictures to go along with it, but if you look at the numbers, it shows a vehicle accelerating at very high speed. It isn’t much for the senses, BUT because of the way the data is collected, we have very, very high confidence that this vehicle acted in exactly the way described. It’s definitely not a hallucination, which isn’t possible on a radar system, and here are the reasons why it’s not an error…”

It seems to me that this is where most “serious” UFO conversations of the type NASA is describing should start. Yet I can’t name a single one which fits this description.

UFOs are likely either hallucinations or top secret experimental DoD projects. Some of them might also be spying devices from foreign governments like that suspected Chinese spy balloon that the government shot down earlier this year. I can't blame NASA for using the obsessions of conspiracy kooks as a rationale to push for more funding for things that would actually be worth looking into. It is also obviously worthwhile for the government to know what is flying in its airspace.

I do think it's pretty much a certainty that alien life exists somewhere given how many earth-like planets exist but it clearly lacks either the technology to or the interest in contacting us. It is also plausible that faster than light travel might be flat out impossible which would make intergalactic travel more or less completely infeasible given how the nearest known galaxy is 25,000 light years away. Even light speed travel would mean over 4 years of travel just to get to Alpha Centauri (or to communicate with it) which is not feasible to maintain any kind of effective political control over colonies.[0]

If extraterrestrial life has developed faster than light travel and wishes to contact us, they will contact us and we will know about it. That isn't something the government will be able to cover up. They also aren't going to be able to determine which countries are the most powerful countries before they contact us because this would not be obvious to an outside observer with no preexisting knowledge of human society.

[0]: A perfect example of this being how the orders of European monarchs were routinely ignored in their American colonies when it took mere months to travel between Europe and America. A very significant portion of the abuses during colonial times happened in direct defiance of the relevant king's orders because there was virtually nothing his majesty could do to stop rogue colonial officials given the communications difficulties. Any interstellar colony would, without faster than life travel, be de facto completely independent and unaccountable to Earth. Even if there was a Hitler tier criminal running an Alpha Centauri colony who was genociding the native population and carrying out wars of aggression against other colonies, who would commit to an approximately 9 year or more round trip from Earth to defeat and arrest this criminal?

I too am in need of something that will let me archive photos without requiring a local copy. I don't understand why that's not easier to find. What do professionals do when they have terabytes of photo or video data, separate it out into disks and backup each individual disk as its own entity?
Same port but the cable you want depends on the brand, for example BMWs use DCAN so you need a cable with a chipset that supports that protocol. They can be had for fairly cheap, I'm sure other brands are similar.
> If I understand the law correctly (and be advised that copyright law is a mess; purposely vague and murky, and no two lawyers – not even those specializing in copyright and trademark law – agree on anything), you have the rights to make your Fables movies, and cartoons, and publish your Fables books, and manufacture your Fables toys, and do anything you want with your property, because it’s your property.

The tricky bit with this is, are you okay accepting a lawsuit from DC comics, possibly one that will drag on for years and years?

Aside from the murky nature of the law, anyone can sue anyone in the US, for more or less any reason. And unless it's complete bogus and gets thrown out at an early stage, you can cause someone a whole bunch of hurt. Who is right and wrong according to the law only marginally comes in to play.

In this case, it's not even clear to me Willingham has the right to single-handedly place something in the public domain; did no one else work on those comics? Don't they also own a piece of copyright (which they perhaps signed over to DC?) This is like the main author of an open source project single-handedly changing the license, which isn't something you can "just" do even if you wrote 95% of it (even though many small one-line contributions often don't meet the threshold of originality for copyright to apply, it's not so easy to determine where this threshold is, legally speaking, and things can get quite murky rather fast).

It's essentially the same problem Willingham has, where suing D.C. is just too time-consuming and expensive, except that Willingham can choose to sue DC or not, whereas you don't choose if someone sues you or not.

I'm very sympathetic to Willingham's plight and I'd love it if more people would just place things in public domain (or other CC licenses for that matter), but here I'm not sure if he legally can, and even if he could it's murky enough that DC most likely will sue, so practically speaking he can't anyway.

Small correction: GDPR was passed in May 2016, but only came into effect in Apr 2018, precisely so that companies had two years to make the necessary changes.
