Frankly it would be easier to enforce at the payments layer. Governments have a lot greater control over their financial system than the movement of physical goods (see war on drugs where drugs move freely despite massive interdiction efforts but money is done through currency as integrated financial products are easily monitored and controlled)
Paying copyright holders money for this will cause people to produce mountains of low effort images

At the same time though, Getty and Adobe have a vested interest in not allowing that content into their training sets. They are obviously curating here, so that their generator outputs better stuff than the generators of competitors. I'm sure they are wargaming out the possibility of MS/OpenAI and Google coming in. Or maybe even worse, Disney or the video game makers, entering this market.

So you would need to generate a mountain of low effort content, and then hope that some of it is good enough to make it through the curation process. It's not a guaranteed thing.

He also needed a hint for spawning the Wither. The game already has a hint for this but it's obscure, so he was given a hint for where to find the in-game hint. Tragic but funny result when he eventually figured it out.
Sounds very similar for me. It is pretty annoying sometimes, especially on remote meetings. I think it is some kind of ADHD tendency.

My comment came out quite black and white, the reality is of course very nuanced. I personally have hard time focusing. Even if I find the topic interesting I'm constantly switching attention, unless there is a strong immersion, like with development work.

My point was just that the "life hacks" of learning are quite useless if you are not interested or disciplined in the first place, and if you are... you unlikely need them. At least my personal experience is that when the topic is interesting and I have motivation, I usually "find a way" to learn more.
Little known fact but almost all “US spelling” came from Britain or was derived more directly from Greek (s/z). Also some incursions from French were dropped. Further, it was the British that changed during the 18/19th century in accent and spelling, around the decline of the British Empire.

So avoiding the differences on purity grounds is not particularly logical.
Oh, that makes sense. I guess I imagined the teeth coming out whole, cartoon-style.

At the professional level Brian injuries are the most important, but most pro athletes are often absolutely wrecking their body.

However, at the level of high school students concussions are significant but joint injuries are more likely to be life altering. Of course that’s less impactful per person than death, TBI, spinal injuries, etc but you also see that stuff from people driving to and from less dangerous sports so there’s many ways to slice this stuff.

Consider vastly more football players people have died getting to the event than at the event. So arguably the biggest way to make these sports safer is to ban players traveling long distances to events.

This is where I'm at personally right now; basically just waiting for my favorite password manager to add support for passkeys. After that the transition will be pretty seamless; I'll just start storing passkeys in my password manager instead of passwords wherever possible, and get a nice UX improvement as a result.

> We are seeing dozens of database companies turn their OSS into basically proprietary shared code licenses. And we seem to still pretend its "open source"

"open source" here is working as intended. the thing is, "open source" is misunderstood by many (most?) individuals.

"open source" was explicitly created by Eric Raymond and others in the late 90ies because the Free Software movement was seen as too extremistic by companies still deeply rooted into the proprietary model.

"open source" is a nice way out, in order to be able to look cool, while not actually playing it cool.

I said it in many posts and i'll say it again: if you're require to give up copyright on your contributions and the license isn't free-software... then it's just a matter of time before a company turns your code into proprietary intellectual property.

people that do not agree are simply delusional (or okay with that).

Interestingly enough, the entire prospect of judicial testing has been a recurring point of interest for me seeing as in reality, the passing of a law does not seem to be what makes something illegal per se in our system. A law must be passed, then tested in court. This seems to create an opportunity for literal judicial test frameworks. Do thing that one knows should get a particular result, and just do them immediately to get precedent established and locked in.

Over time it'd probably morph the landscape of legal primitives enough one of two outcomes would manifest:

A) we discover it's Turing complete

B) We have enough data we can academically prove that it's rife with contradiction, create tooling to facilitate rapid elevation thereof of said contradictions, and start the multi-generational process of trying to do consistency passes to bring sanity to this seemingly intentional corpus of madness we call our legal system.

I do find it interesting there are such apparent legal primitives whereby the phenomena of "plaintiff can collect no damages, attorney gets paid, but not enough to ensure opportunity cost by a trained attorney is realistically recouped" that basically ensure a law is toothless in execution.

Seems that this is one of those cases that is increasingly demonstrating the growing inadequacy and inaccesibility of the judicial system to the average citizen.
>"If he weren't a drug dealer, why did the cops arrest him?"

Because he's been caught several times using drugs out in the open, has been caught numerous times selling drugs, and his linkedin profile says he's an "alternative medicine distributor" and formerly a "streets pharmacist". If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, has ducklings, and swims in the water, it's clearly a moose, or a t-rex, right?

Let's be crystal clear here. Google has most likely broken a number of antitrust laws. That is why they are on trial. Google has faced antitrust suits previously.

>Even the corporations have a right to a fair trial.

You're making my point for me, so thanks. Everyone is entitled to a fair, public trial decided upon by a jury of their peers. A corporation trying their damnedest to pretend that they aren't on trial and aren't in legal crosshairs, while also saying "oh no you can't disclose any evidence it's all trade secrets and will cause harm to our corporation and our shareholders" Yeah, no. They have the right to a fair and public trial. That's it. If they didn't want to have to tell the world about what they are doing, they could have pursued a whole bunch of avenues to prevent disclosure of it WAY before it got to this point.

Alternatively, they could have just not gone and done the actions that caused the government to bring the lawsuit. It's not like shareholders got together and said "Hey Google, you MUST do actions X, Y, and Z, even though we know they will trigger an antitrust suit that you most likely will lose, or else we will fire your whole board". That didn't happen either.

EDIT: Should also disclose that within the last 6 months, I held Google stock and LEAP options. I no longer hold positions in Google, although I still am a paid user of multiple of Google's services, including Gmail, Google Workspace for Business, and Youtube TV.

Alcohol can be life changing, but I said "not life changing like MDMA". All of the sociability benefits you received from alcohol are achievable via other means that don't require the use of drugs, like CBT and plain old practice/experience. That is simply NOT the case for MDMA and depression and PTSD. If you think so, then show me examples of alcohol making someone relieved, normal and happy in 30 mins after literally years of depression and suicide attempts. They just aren't in the same league.

Agreed. I read Sanderson for his superb world building skills. He does an excellent job of exploring how magic systems impact the world and societies within it. But the characters and dialog are all pretty weak. His books are all easy reads, and he’s prolific so it’s nice to have something reliable to fall back on when I’m searching for more substantial novels.

I'm highly sceptical of the suggestion that if we just all take MDMA the increasingly fractured world will somehow re-unite. I think reading Karl Popper's open society and its enemies will be much more productive, as that will help you understand the reason for the division.

It's as my old pappy used to say, you can't fix problems with more MDMA that wasn't created by a lack of MDMA.
I do not disagree with your first part. The second part, I would argue has been proven false. Voting changes nothing, and I dare say that were voting capable of changing anything, it'd be illegal. Obama and Trump both said they were antiwar and would end war, neither did. All of the Presidents of my life time have spoken against large deficit spending except for Clinton and Biden, and hilariously, only Clinton ever made any real progress on that front. The people are generally against the drug war, no change. The people are generally against mass incarceration, no change. The people are generally against corporate/government collusion, no change. The people have generally been against bailouts, no change.
Well I really hope neither of us spends too much time worrying about this today but I will respond with some points in addition to the other reply you got.

> Asking who? From what I've seen, the typical sentiment is that they've gone far past the expectations they set.

I'll note that anybody still playing the game probably likes it, and anybody who doesn't like it probably stopped playing years ago (except to perhaps check out new updates and continue to feel disappointed).

Some specific things:

- planets feel lifeless and very samey: there's nothing to really explore because the depth of geology, biology, ecology is not there. I suspect that's why they added so much base building, which was never a significant part of the early hype/marketing.

- even features they implemented feel incomplete and shallow, such as player customization and base building, compared to many other games which do those things better.

- the game was described as allowing the player to navigate an actual star system, and instead it's just a skybox densely littered with pirates and asteroids. If I want that, X4 is a hundred times better. For exploring stellar systems, Elite Dangerous or just SpaceEngine show that it's possible to do well.
There’s another anecdotal comment where someone heard that the audience was too tame, and some time into the performance they were prompted/goaded into interacting in more controversial ways, otherwise the performance would have been a dud.

If this is true, then it tends to support the GP post’s take: there was an intention to bring out the worst, not a neutral attempt to see what would happen.
Bizarre logical reasoning. So because no one has completed a 100 year study on a powerful drug the default should be to feel safe using it long term instead of not using it?

And no there's plenty of anecdotal evidence from long term users who never feel the same after frequent use, even after stopping. But again by your logical reasoning because there's no peer reviewed study on humans that sufficiently backs this up people should ignore that.

the high-margin, very legal brand-name market. As others have pointed out, the means of production are already leaked, the goods easily copied and delivered, so there will be endless layers of gray market, not-legal, cheaper knock-offs and worse IMHO.
It's worse than that, they want it dead. Presumably because it competes with (and is better than?) the streaming service. IIRC, Redbox offered to buy it. No interest.
The ownership of MSFT is diffuse. But each MSFT owner owns many other things besides MSFT. Sometimes a whole lot of it.

Urban areas generally do have higher rates of crime than suburban or rural areas (and this is certainly true of the Boston area[0]), and prima facie I don't see anything wrong with letting the residents of Arlington determine for themselves the benefits and disadvantages of having the Red Line extend into their town. Not everything has to be a dog-whistle; unless you're suggesting that the residents of suburban Boston are less virtuous than the number of "In this house we believe..." lawn signs might suggest?

> This view also assumes that skills are perfectly replaceable, that there's no cost for requalifying for another profession, and that this is instantaneous or that people have some magical way to offset the opportunity costs of requalification while they train for another job.

It does not assume any of these things. The cost of switching jobs is not required to be zero. What it does is provide a ceiling for what the existing employer can get away with.

They may be able to get away with paying you 5% below market or subjecting you to an inflexible schedule and it isn't worth changing jobs to one that doesn't do that, but if they try to make you use equipment that will kill you then you just walk right out the door.

Moreover, this is why a competitive market is important -- if you're qualified to be a steel worker but the steel industry is a monopoly, you can always learn to be an aircraft mechanic, but that takes time. Whereas if the steel industry has 10,000 companies in it, you go and work for one of the others using your existing skill set. Which reduces what employers can get away with.

At the risk of setting up a straw man (but the sentiment of your comment seems negative), but should we slow down improved security for the for the whole population, so that a bunch of tech people who have hardware keys with a measly 20 or 32 slots can keep using them?

Sure, authentication could also be done without resident keys, but resident keys simplify the authentication workflow a lot, since the relying party doesn't need some additional credentials to send the correct wrapped key.

(Disclaimer: I have several Yubikeys.)
To put it another way: many startups today have adopted the "Open Core" business model, and it's really more about marketing than actual open-source.

"Open Core" means they open-source the core of their product portfolio, core which some enterprising people may use to develop applications on, but for others will really need the buy into the rest of the portfolio to get the best use out of.
They already spy on everyone. Private companies that gather information, such as through embedded ads, will sell it to anyone, cell phone towers triangulate your location, gather call metadata, license plate readers track where you drive, facial recognition on the off chance you're not in your car and without your cell phone, etc etc..

This is about taking away your right to even try to evade even more intrusive spying, despite how much better their ability to spy even without such laws has gotten (instead they publicly claim there's a "going dark" problem).

>> > Apache is the place OSS goes to retire/die
>> Fortunately many of us in the world disagree with the dystopian warped view.

They would still be doing everyone a favor if they shut down OpenOffice completely and hand the trademark over to The Document Foundation. The name is better than LibreOffice, and the fact that a grossly outdated version of OpenOffice is what people will be finding is detrimental to the project. Most the developers and the code have moved on, but the name and a bunch of old code lives on with ASF for no good reason. Seriously there is NO reason for it except the completely selfish (and harmful to others) excuse that ASF can claim to be the stewards of OpenOffice. In my dystopian imaginary world they are even paid to maintain this situation to prevent more widespread adoption of LibreOffice.
> I've felt for a long time (maybe even a decade) that Apache is the place OSS goes to retire/die.

It's a bit too strong as others have pointed out that there are very active projects under the Apache umbrella. But I do feel that there's a core of truth in this. Specifically, Apache does appear to provide a "way out" for large enterprise customers that want to dump non-strategic (to them) code somewhere and not necessarily invest in it. Seems something that could be solvable on the ASF side by having additional criteria before accepting projects, and maybe require a certain level of activity for continued membership.
Wouldn't that be much overhead? I was thinking just having a CLI where you'd choose the things you want, and the boilerplate gets scaffolded automatically with those.

I don't understand the math of this? If the company is paying way over asking price, they will be losing money for some number of years while renting the property. I guess the idea is that eventually they will turn cash flow positive? So these companies have a bunch of cash in reserve?

My personal experience in recent years, in the city of Atlanta, Atlanta suburbs, and Philadelphia suburbs, is that I do not see companies buying up all the houses to rent. In the Philly burbs in particular, I see traditional home buyers bidding up the prices. Even with the high interest rates, the low supply is still causing a good bit of competition for each new listing that is in good shape. The supply of rentals in this area is pretty low as well. So if there were these large swathes of homes going from family owned to rentals, I would think it would be pretty obvious when I'm looking for a rental.
