Ironically you're presenting textbook mis-definitions of science, the exact problem being discussed in this thread.

> when a research paper is peer reviewed by its author .. that's clearly not science

Peer review is something academia evolved only relatively recently. Science long pre-dates peer review, and you can do science without peer review (or with useless peer review) just like you can write programs without code review. As recently as Einstein, peer review was being seen as some offensive newfangled thing which he had no time for.

The goal of peer review is to try and ensure that claims that are presented as being scientific actually are. It frequently fails at that task but even when it works it's still just a safety check, not an actual required component of true science.

> when the heads of multiple top university epidemiology departments come together to speak out about it, that should be regarded as science

A bunch of academics making an announcement is definitely not science. The whole point of science is that it doesn't rely on People With Titles deciding by fiat what's true. That's what religion is!

> What happened with COVID is that ... most scientists were pushed aside

We have very different memories of these events.
That's the ideology of money = reward.

Businesses routinely do not produce net benefits; routinely do not have efficient prices; routinely benefit their customers at the expense of society; and routinely distribute money away from net goods towards net bads. Indeed it is routine that an efficient market operating at marginal profits is a catastrophe for society: consider social media, climate change, and so on.

This isnt a problem I need to solve for the observation to be true.

The issue I have here is the black/white false perceptions of politics/business.

Being unable to replace a broken headlight yourself because you cannot reset the error memory of your car is bullshit don't you think?

I don't know if you follow the recent trends on car engineering, but things that a person with two left hands could have done themselves 20 years ago are now impossible to do on your own and — not because ot is hard, but because they essentially require digital access for many things.

And if you modify such systems and they are not bricked after you did it that probably means you know more about the system than the "professional" who just uses the tools provided by the manufacturer. If it is bricked, you are no danger to others.

yes i ran into problem with distinguishing between ; and : as well on this monospace font. i'll say it was fun to try it and i used it for awhile but it isnt suitable for coding purposes. im much more happy now with a highly customizable font like Input[0] where i can make it as wide or as narrow as i like it to be and also customize the various characters

They don't though, if any developer had the means to take it to court it is incredibly likely that Unity would lose.

While TOS are rarely worth the toilet paper they could be printed on, I'm curious about whether arguments could be made about whether existing subscribers from 2019 could now sue for breach of contract and costs associated with (re)development.
Seems like the key takeaway was adding comments.
I came to write the same. I live in Thailand in a place with tons of jungle. It is common around here that cats die due to getting stuck in a tight spot because of the collar. I personally lost my first cat due to this. Now i am aware and will never put a collar on a cat if it hasn't got quick release. Such a horrible way to die. Quick release is for me a hard requirement.
> They're burning almost $1 billion a year and they have no good solutions to this.

Unity acquired Weta at 1.6B. The solution is not to do this.
> Being the "first" on any kind of legal gray area is usually just an enormous waste of time and money.

You quoted "first" correctly: this is not. The concept of placing something in the public domain, is well established. So are its implications.

If a 3rd party goes out to make a movie or something, what's DC Comics going to do? Assert IP rights they don't own, and never have? Prevent someone from using IP that's in the public domain? Sue for breaching a contract that 3rd party doesn't have with them? Good luck with that, and... Streisand.

For a creator this is kind of a nuclear option. But warranted in this case. Well played, mr. Willingham!

It's really sad that all software has become like the article states...

Microsoft completely messed up the XAML / C++/CX development experience with internal politics, only to have the team responsible for C++/WinRT going on to have fun in Rust/WinRT, leaving the former in maintenance state.

I don't understand their refusal to make games that will make them money and showcase Unity's capabilities.

The only reason Unreal engine has so favorable license conditions is because Epic Games earn billions from Fortnite and Epic Games Store.

At my other work, when I was an inexperienced developer I had one task: add support for different scales (that weights cars). We had an utility that sent it to axis camera via api so one can see weight on surveillance video.

Anyways, I got the source from the vendor and it was Delphi.

I thought: I heard this is similar to Pascal. I got introducet to programming with Pascal, so I'll just give Delphi a shot.

Was disappointed to find out I have to pay for it given other languages are free. That was my perception: I'll invest my time to learn something that I will have to pay to use.. no thanks.

Didnt bother and rewrote it in C# - the software was small.

Now I get to think that maybe 10+ years ago I could have found some free IDE that compiles Delphi? The price tag from what seemed to me the official Delphi turned me off. Good that they now do CE version.
And these huge companies continue to wonder why people don't want to work beyond the things stated in their contracts.

Don Rosa is an awesome artist. I love his style.
Do they included mandatory quality of the product ? At minimum quality that is equal to what they are selling. No car battery with half of advertised capacity or CrV pliers that become tattered on first plain nail. Or ever thinner cloths. All of them with relevant certificates and all needed papers. Usually straight from China. And no control from any TLA+ :> Producers or AliSellers dillute instantly on contact with troubles so the only way is to control quality @importers and clog them with what they voulountarilly push.

Seeing the diversity of opinions and experiences here I am inclined to believe there is an interaction between the genetics of the strain, and your own genetics that determine whether your particular habit become something which is addictive for you.

This is highly fascinating, and opens the door towards in nuanced manipulation of marijuana plant genetics in order to create strains with the benefits, but without the addictive side effects and tailoring that genetic strain manipulation to the genetics of the individual user where they could undergo a kind of a genetic test, and then the strain could be tailored to meet their exact desired profile without any addictive qualities.
I got 8, ... The old lady, was 50-50? How could one know if she was one of the spaceship programmers but at old age? But now I realize, the photo looked old too, so then logically she couldn't have been one of them after all :-)
Honestly, if they just added revenue share like Unreal does and tweaked their subscriptions a little, the backlash wouldn't have been nearly as bad. The uproar is a combination of a really badly announced system and details that don't seem to be ironed out properly leaving devs ripe for abuse. Plus you have one of the most tight knit communities of artists who all reacted almost as one to this announcement and have experience with abuse from gamers in terms of piracy, review bombs, refund waves and so on. I guarantee most developers would have grumbled but given in to a revenue share

I'm also completely baffled how poorly thought out this whole thing has been. Unity has been used by the likes of Nintendo, Microsoft and other massive game development studios. Do they seriously think a fee applied on retroactive sales and revenue numbers would be accepted without issue from them?
I don't know Fables, but I'd love to see more things going to public domain. All fictional characters and stories, after 10 years. All software stuff, API/ABI, formats, UI and leaked source code, you should be able to use it, modify it, or even sell it. Everyday products like a washing machine, or a microwave, someone created a reliable and easy to produce microwave, now anyone should be able to mass produce it, and sell it cheaper. Produce and sell an iphone, a compatible, a partially compatible, an improved version, or whatever you want. And so on.
I guessed "programming language inventor" for all of the images I saw, and I would do so again if I had to replay this "game", because I don't think it's reasonable to assume someone is a serial killer, while guessing they've invented a programming language is harmless speculation.
I agree.

Of course you could add a quick release/stretchy part to the collar so it is safe, but that also means that the tracker would easily get lost (especially if the cat isnt used to collars since kittenhood, they tend to be too annoyed by them and try to remove them)

I have had that issue from time to time. What I did to solve that was to install plugin to extract the subtitle. Now it works perfectly (on webos tv client at least).
Small steps. Norway population (5.5 million) is equivalent to 0.07% of the total world population. Meta's revenue would be proportional, and so would be the fine. To avoid inconveniencing foreigners, Norwegian advertisers would have to pony up $98,500 every day.

To frame it differently: if all GDPR countries were to fine similarly it'd scale up to $3-4 billion annually and that would start to hurt a little.

Because to make the next Fortnite takes not just a lot of money, but luck. What if they made a game and it flopped (a techinically impressive game can definitely flop)? People will be like "oh see Unity engine is so bad, even the game from the first party doesn't sell".
Ok I'm just saying that within that I enjoy seeing the aggressor fuck up all the time.
Here's a fringe opinion you likely haven't heard before.

I think that small quantities of continuous RF really aren't a problem.[1] I think it's the rapid edges of packets that are the problem. The envelope of a modern TDMA/CDMA signal, as a series of packets, creates a little heating, then none, then a little heating... this is true for bluetooth, cell phones, WiFi, etc. Sometimes you'll hear the packets in your speakers, if you get some rectification of the signal because they're too close to your WiFi access point, for example.

In the end, it's making an audio frequency noise, albeit very small, that likely causes the most issues. I suspect those little ripples disrupt things, just a bit.

I've not seen any studies that go in pursuit of this tangent of thinking. I'm totally willing to admit I could be wrong. But in this modern era of lost institutional trust, I can't be sure.

I wouldn't feel bad for their executives. They are the ones who chose the 'growth at all costs' path, and this is what you get.

They could've probably been sustainable and profitable if they mainly serviced their core audience of indie developers with a smaller amount of employees and a simpler product, but it seems they really wanted to brute force themselves into the AAA market.

Depends on the market, for making the next pixar movie probably not (yet). However blender usage is way, way up and my game studio (Prehensile Tales) has no difficulty finding extremely talented blender users.

An open source project doesn't have to be the very most used thing from the beginning in order to eventually eat everyone's lunch :)
Why do anything beyond your part of the contract when the other party is doing everything to outmaneuver their part of the same contract, like paying a decent amount of money for instance?

Strange world we live in that the client part of the contract can be more enforced than the company part of the contract, just because everybody is scared to be sued to literal death.

META is trying to fight this in the courts (with no success). At some point other countries will see that it is watertight and they'll follow Norways line. In my opinion META can do what Norway tells them to do or end up not being in the EU, either forced out or leaving themselves. I can't see any other outcome.

I’m continuously, fascinated by how many commentators on HN are actually having a background in psychiatry and psychology. I took one or two psych classes in college, but I never got the feeling there was any overlap with tech really at all.

probably things have changed now but—-This likely sounds dismissive of psychologist and psychiatrist with regards to technology and I’m sorry for that it’s not what I mean.

I’m just curious where do all these psychiatrists and psychologists happen upon the interest to participate in what is ostensibly a technology form, although strictly speaking, it’s for anything that’s intellectually gratifying…But how do y’all come across it?

It's one of the reasons I generally seek out smaller companies for stuff like this. The biggest company in these sorts of categories gets there by being entirely unhelpful at its stated goals :(

The thing is that most schools use platforms that are mainly meant for consumption: tablets and chrome books. You're right that many people in the previous generations picked up useful skills, but that is because we were using platforms that were primarily intended for work and creation. They were also a lot less streamlined so understanding the underlying tech was a requirement to get to the good parts.
I think you are mixing two problems - having the part of the DB exposed, and whether people then build brittle stuff on top.

My point is that if people build brittle stuff on top that's not a problem of the DB being accessible per se.

That could just as easily happen against an API.

I assume you had was some problem with ORM's and automatically built data structures etc - I would argue that's a problem with those, not with the DB.
I just had to implement potato_mode in a report, what a rabbit hole that turned out to be.
Something either is or isn't FOSS, there is no "fake". If nobody wants to pick up maintenance after the original developers pick up their bags and move on doesn't make something any less of FOSS.

Why feel bad? They're a victim of deliberate bad choices. The buck stops at the top. Nobody told Riccitiello to hit the gas pedal, nor to enrich himself by selling shares prior to a disastrous announcement, he did that all on his own.

I feel much worse for the thousands of developers he's holding a metaphorical gun to with this awful policy, who now have to stress about swapping engines.

Do big-tech companies actually pay these fines?
In cash? By daily bank transfer? Direct debit?

And to whom? Margrethe, the Queen of Denmark? Or to some bank? Or are
bank notes scattered to wind in Copenhagen square so the people can
stuff them into their pockets?

Or do the governments of countries whose laws are broken have a
nod-and-wink tacit agreement that "fines" are just numbers for the
press to print and assuage our sense of outrage. Aren't we just
starting to use numbers like this as abstract tokens of justice?

I'd like to see Zuck made to personally lug an enormous pirate's chest

> It would cost Ford, if they had all 150,000 UAW, only 4% of their profits from last year to give out the 6 billion dollars necessary to give a 40% raise if those workers made 100,000 per year

Ford's net income (aka profit/loss) in 2022 (FY23) was ~ -$2.1B Billion [1]. The raise would effectively add an additional $6B loss.

Think about it this way - how often do you see a brand new Big 3 car? At least in the Bay Area it's not often - it's mostly Tesla, Japanese (Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Nissan), Korean (Hyundai, Kia), and German (BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen) automakers. And I've see a similar split both across the west and east coasts.

Eg. In 2022, the big 3 represented ~40-45% of new car sales in the US, with an average of 10% decreases in sales across the board [0]. And unlike Japanese, Korean, or German players, the Big 3 are shut out or divested out of the Asian market (eg. China, India, ASEAN) meaning no growth market in the horizon.

There isn't that much money left for the Big 3 to generate profits when enough people aren't buying their products.

Then others can take it from where they left off, since it’s open source. As long as it has a user base, it is guaranteed to live on. Unlike Unreal.
Keep on the good work, you're an inspiration to many of us!
If they cannot pay their employees a fair wage someone else will. There is no need to cry for the rich overlords and lament their lack of more profit.

This is just nonsense, the point of capitalism is to extract value efficiently, if Big 3 cannot, then other companies will. There is no in between or buts.
