My example was a illustrate a point. It could be a game or a productivity software, movies, music anything.

You can find any reason to steal, economical, hunger etc the point I making is that the motivation to make a copy does not make it legal.

Do we tolerate some form of theft for moral or other reasons ? Yes sure. But because I, as an individual, have my own reasons not to pay for something and decide to make a copy of it, that does not transforms my action to a perfectly legal thing.

Maybe we can’t do anything about software being copied but that doesn’t magically make laws and IP disappear with it and makes copying software legal ?

I was answering to the comment « nothing is taken ». Because the content is the result of an effort from other people being paid, the content has value. The fact that we can make infinite copies of it makes a single copy worthless because it’s not being burnt into a piece of plastic ?
How would that work with basic human rights such as the freedom of association? And how could it be enforced, under civil law?

Of course you are free to break the strike or whatever feels right for you. But it might not be compatible with membership in the union, so they may well exercise their right to not keep you around as a member if you are actively trying to sabotage their work.
Who said anything about a dictator?
What I was describing is the hypothetical dream traits of what I perceive are a necessity to be an effective leader in this era.

It’s a tall ask but someone embodying those traits would scoff at the notion of wanting, let alone keeping power!

If you’d like to see what federated horizontal power structures with consensus decision making looks like and how it feels to participate in I challenge you to join a local planning commission in your city if you haven’t already and if you live in america of course…
That hilarously inaccurate. Most towns are far older then the industrial revolution.
Pay with Bitcoin?
Yes, that's correct. Everybody does it, but typically/historically allies, or even just non-enemies, prefer not to wildly escalate things.
There's a little too much focus on the distant future, which is very abstract for everyone to consider, especially children.

Really, you can pursue anything you want to, regardless of the time horizon that you have considered it in.

Walk down the street and see something interesting over the road? then cross over and take a look. Play with the a keyboard in the shop and like the feel? buy a cheap one, get some lessons, pursue it until you no longer want to. You may drop it, you may become a rockstar. You don't need to know you want to be a rockstar though.

Children are already curious, we spend a lot of time trying to get them to formalise their curiosity into concrete plans. Life doesn't need long term planning, to be successful, or be happy.
I the the argument is that it should be in the law.
Germany offered the UK a "test and trace" app during the corona virus pandemic. The UK government of course refused, because producing an app was an opportunity to divert £37 Billion (!) from taxes to their associates. The delay in not taking the completed app also would have cost thousands of lives.

In short, the first thing you need is people who care about their countrymen. People often propose ideas that start from an assumption that politicians want to make the World better, but the ones in power in the UK at least are more motivated by other things: greed for example.
OOP classes are commonly used because they seem to naturally map to physical objects, especially in games. However they can break down when trying to model the inevitable exceptions to this "natural" mapping or abstract concepts.

OOP is based on inheritance, but there is a school of thought that prefers composition over inheritance[1]. Composition is more flexible and usually more CPU cache efficient. Entity component system (ECS) is another way to store game objects based on composition. Instead of grouping properties related to a single object together, the same property from all objects are grouped together (thus it is usually more CPU cache efficient).

Someone made the argument the logical conclusion of ECS is a relational database: store and modify your (game) entities using SQL![2]

Another paradigm is using immutable state (works with either OOP-like objects or ECS-like entities). CRUD loses data that event-sourced objects can access later. (CRUD cannot remember what items were removed from a shopping cart without extra work; event-sourced objects naturally retain this information.)[3]

The point of sending a letter, compared to an email, isn’t only about proving who issued the subpoena, but also being able to prove it was received. You can’t really prove an email was received, but you can send a verified letter proving it was delivered.

It's a shame that they don't include a chapter on ethics the way [Deep Learning for Coders with Fastai and PyTorch: AI Applications Without a PhD](https://course.fast.ai/Resources/book.html) does. I hope people read the etics chapter or use the ethics section of the [associated free course](https://course.fast.ai/) to fill in that oversight on the Amazon Engineers' part.

Also it's a bit annoying that they address the fact that other resources exist but vaguely handwaved over the difference between their resources and the existing ones with "the others are not as up to date and don't have as much detail".

I understand that you’re describing one set of benefits, that are beneficial in some circumstances.

But it’s all about requirements. The benefits you describe are not universal benefits.

Mobile app stores, where users have to install apps, transact over a $1 trillion per year. Sometimes a native app provides a better experience.
Is there any hard evidence of this? My general assumption when people talk about this is that it’s just people getting over the novelty.
> Isn't the recent AI regulation voted in Europe a problem for this company?

Maybe not that big of a problem but the EU legislation that just passed wants the companies building models to hand over technical documentation, comply with EU copyright laws and give detailed information about the data used for training the models. So basically I take it's there's going to be some annoying administrative work to do but it doesn't seem impossible to comply with.
> Yeah, alright then.

As far as I'm aware, Scalr is not directly participating in or precipitating the fork at this time [0]. This was started by groups working on OpenHorizon and EdgeX Foundary (two Linux Foundation projects under the LF Edge umbrella) which both use Vault internally and are offered by other organizations commercially. This made them incompatible with the BUSL (for both open source and commercial variants) which necessitated the fork.

Not just that but it is no longer Steve's company (If he were alive). It is now a multinational public company with shareholders, employees and 1000's of vendors (and their employees, etc...)

It is all but required for a company of this size to take action in this way.

I don’t mean to engage in an argument here but that isn’t how emergency data requests or even most electronically issued compatible requests work in USA.
edit: compliance, not compatible

Most telecom providers have a compliance portal that only nominally engages with human supervision or legal departments.

You fill out the form from your computer using the department credentials, typically on a semi hidden webpage belonging to the either the provider or serviced for the provider by a law enforcement program (like FBIs LEEP).

Records are rarely returned to a court registrar for EDRs or any digital request, and in the case of a magistrate federal warrant they are frequently issued after the fact or by email. I suggest it would be trivial to get a real warrant, or real fake-warrant, by impersonating LE.

I have personally seen warrant discussions and approvals between ADAs and small departments take place over personal gmail, if this tells you anything.

The problem is that while experienced software engineers probably do know how, and would even like to, management never approves enough time for doing so, and so here we are.
The permissive license was not revoked. The license change is not retroactive. You can continue using the product under MPL license, up to the commit in which the license was changed.
As you say it's the culture of investment banking, Big Law, and some other subsets of certain industries. Those subsets pay extremely well but things like weekend work are just part of the package.

I'm not at all convinced AI is going to radically change the culture of most industries in the relatively near term. There have been enormous changes to the tooling for all kinds of tech over the past few decades and I don't really see big changes to the work culture--other than the pay for software development at "tech" companies often increasing relative to other types of engineering. (It's not clear to me that sort of differential is sustainable.)
Yeah, another round of these "anonymous" services.

It's better than having your name slapped into it, but let's be honest here unless you have all your material and tools inside your home with no Internet connection, all these things are NOT anonymous by definition.

>Now I'm seriously wondering how hard is to fill taxes in the UK

Doing it correctly is non-trivial. You have to submit a so called computation for each individual disposal, which can easily run into several pages.

The algorithm for working out the cost of a disposal is actually a pretty interesting test case for learning a new programming language or paradigm. Try implementing UK share identification rules in SQL for instance :)
Reads to me like: even more power to people with deep pockets, if this was for real.
Duration of copyright is separate from the principle. The current durations of copyright are obviously crazy. But that doesn't mean we should just do away with copyright entirely.
> Take delivery apps that have somehow made the previously thriving small business of delivering food a giant industry that loses money for everyone involved.

I agree with everything you said but this. It seems like an industry with sustainability problems where the consumers are winning big. It also seems like it ignores the small businesses that could never support delivery drivers in the first place. I'm not super familiar with this industry but I hear similar arguments against ride sharing which is at worst 10x better on the consumer side than it was before.

Gazans are an oppressed people, who under international law are permitted to fight for freedom by any means necessary.

But regardless, as more of the truth has been teased out it's become plain that what Israel said happened on October 7th was... well, absolutely riddled with lies. Beheaded babies, baked babies, babies hung up on washing lines, mass rapes - all of it debunked, but still being used by the Israeli propaganda machine. We've also learned that of those killed, civilians were in the minority - most were Israeli soldiers, then armed "settlers". And now we know that Israeli tanks and helicopters killed a lot of Israeli civilians that day. It's also been reported that Israeli intelligence was forewarned of the attack, a month before and the day before - and chose to do nothing except extend the Nova festival for an extra day.

As it looks so far (IMHO): Hamas militant freedom fightets broke out of Gaza with the aim of taking hostages to swap for Palestinian hostages held by Israel. They find the Nova festival still on, and the plan falls to shit - civilians are killed by both sides in the firefight, but militants manage to escape with some hostages before helicopters arrive on the scene and start shooting every fucking thing that moves. And then Israel pumps it up like a balloon, and many fall for it (I'm ashamed to admit I believed it all at the start) - it's used as the pretence for genocide (or at the very least, ethic cleaning) and a land grab, and the US is happy to supply the bombs because money,

Since then, the Israeli lobby and propaganda machines have been working overtime! While much Israeli propaganda is comically bad, the tactic of slandering any anti-genocidal comments as anti-semetic has been quite successful. The lobbying has been incredibly successful, managing to control celebrity messaging, buy US politicians and control mainstream media in a truly alarming way. Hell, Israeli politicians are even openly making calls for genocide and other war crimes, and what major US or UK papers/channels have even reported it?

From a tech standpoint, the genocide being carried out by Israel, with full support of the US and UK, has shown how powerful and important Twitter and Instagram are - without them, many of us (likely myself included) would have no idea what Israel is doing now, or indeed has been doing in the recent past. IMO channels like these are simply too important to be controlled by billionaires - and indeed we're now starting to see pro-Palestine content being censored on Twitter and Instagram (I'm not on Facebook, but I heard it's heavily censored?).

Good luck getting legislation done. Our country thinks legislation gets in the way of the free market, stifles innovation, and kills jobs.
That says,

“ true that potatoes are high in starch or carbohydrates, the nutrients that cause spikes in blood sugar. But pairing them with foods high in protein, fiber and unsaturated fats can slow digestion and lead to a steadier release of glucose into the bloodstream.”

Which suggests you should add toppings or else potatoes are not very healthy if eaten on their own. (I think they’re fairly high up on the glycemic index).

After having a look at the picture, it's obvious that bump is not by design, if you take the height of the asphalt layer into account, which is visible to the right side, but not there yet, where the bike lane is crossing the layer of compacted gravel.

This is an awesome library. I've used it for multiple, mostly internal tools. The more complex one were a tool for cardiac action potential analysis and another for the evaluation of multiple choice tests. Complexity exploded over time, but that hinged on my coding skills, or lack thereof... PySimpleGUI did enable me to make GUI tools without getting my hands dirty outside my Python world, so kudos for that.

Yes. Every time I see coffee advice like this I wonder if there's ever been an actual study on it. I don't think I can tell the difference between coffee at 92 degrees vs 99 degrees. What percent of people actually can?
They insist that they have a genome sequencing company but when I attempted to use them it became apparent that any success happens despite their equipment and processes, rather than because of it. Months of waiting led to admonitions that no valid samples could be found, which then precipitated further waiting for test kits to be re-sent and new tests to be run. Although they eventually refunded my fee (after about a year in total of waiting), that only happened despite their customer service. I was left with the impression that they were selling something that sometimes might work but hoping that you'd be willing to hang around for months or years until you win the lottery and their process actually generates genomic data. Avoid.
Copyright itself is the root of the problem.

It's a completely fictitious right, akin to converting elementary school playground "stop copying me!" into a cause of action.

The solution to bad legislation isn't more legislation, it's throwing those statutes in a bonfire and reverting to common law.
Because Hashicorp changed the license. It’s been all over the (tech) news so it’s easily googlable.
technically, it is marketing but at this level marketing is indistinguishable from shipping
We officially support iOS, Android, MacOS, Linux, Windows, XBox, Android TV, and unofficially a few others that are in-progress (Apple Watch, ChromeOS). We should definitely put a list somewhere on the site.
Oddly enough this is more complex in places with multiple jurisdictional overlap.

Imagine a city with police force of 6,000 combined with country, federal, state, and university LE. You might have a total of 20 neighboring or overlapping agencies ranging from 6 to 6,000 employees.

Personal cellphone numbers are used in LE sometimes, whatever one might think of that practice or implications for discovery and preservation.

What you say about Reddit is certainly not my experience. /r/UKPolitics for example - anything posted about Istael/Gaza is now moderated out. And comments are dominated by people still parroting the debunked stories about mass rapes and baked babies.
While I'm not suggesting that UML is necessarily the solution, I hope it's not, but the observation that so few developers touch anything that just looks like UML is a good indication that a lot of software is in fact NOT designed, it's just sort of hobbled together from a few sketches on a whiteboard.
I agree, sure.

If you run someone over you can’t defend yourself by saying 99.999% of the time you didn’t run someone over. Most output being free of copyright issues isn’t a defense if any output has those issues.

Specific examples of clear copyright infringement mean that output is a derivative work AND by encoding enough information to recreate it the underlying neural network must itself be a derivative work.
Yes but no. The actual values represented by the quantized bits don't use a representation akin to IEEE floating point, but they are able to act like floating point values due to mathematical transformations during propagation. The floating point values a quantized value corresponds to are chosen using some kind of precomputation depending on the quantization method

They look nice and produce a pleasant, warm light; I would also guess many people aren't aware of their impact on air quality. Surprisingly, different people have different opinions about what matters in a given situation.
I don’t really understand the critics here.

Just as Hashicorp should have understood that the license they chose allows people to use the code as they please, contributors should have understood that Hashicorp could change the license at any time.

If we decide that building companies on top of commercialized open source projects is moral, then we must agree that changing the license is too.
This why big companies want to move everything to "subscriptions", i.e., rental, in order to eliminate the concept of ownership.
