This sentence addresses exactly the content of the article: The framework within stuff is funded, created and later compensated.

The article is a ramble on the issues of implementation of the enforcement. Only if people would play along we wouldn't have ushers in the cinema, only if people would play along we wouldn't have cashiers but a box where people put the money in and take out the change.

Implementation of DRM etc. is quite low quality and is prone to issues. So? Those unhappy should simply avoid content made with that business model and framework of tools enforcing it.

The ad-supported model gained a lot of traction and people make a lot of DRM-free content that is distributed for free in exchange of editorial influence or distribution influence. Some even see great success in it, there are YouTube content producers who can afford to make content with considerable production value.

If you like what you get stick with it, if you don't - don't. Produce the stuff the way you think should be produced and distribute it the way you think should be distributed, no one is forcing you to use DRM or whatever. That's just a tool that you might choose to use in hope that people will agree to pay you this way.
Funnily enough, that word has been used to describe the UK system in particular.

Synthetic Art Could Help AI Systems Learn
It is fundamentally discriminatory to not provide accessibility options. Whether that's a wheel-chair ramp, alt-text on an image, using correct HTML markup, subtitles/closed-captions or audio description, it's part of being inclusive and accomodating and welcoming to people with difference in ability, perception and neurology. That's a social contract, right there, one that's about people and not stuff.

Indeed, in many places there is legislation that formally grants exemption from copyright for this exact reason, but it's mostly a bit on the weak side and doesn't address the systemic problems, which is the big one.

Nothing immoral going on here.
Parent poster wasn't nearly that bent over.

The employee doesn't get to decide what happens to the product. Simple as. Employees are workers on a field.

Is that entirely fair? Depends only on whether everyone has equal opportunity to work on something else without serious repercussions. And we should work towards that.

In this case, as in many others, Hollywood is a racket and there are limited alternatives, so it's somewhat unfair. But there are multiple studios and you can always choose to toil on someone else's field.

I'm considering taking a tool I have which has a pretty nicely fleshed-out CLI interface and wrapping a GUI around it, so people who don't run desktop Linux can use it too. This seems like it might be perfect for my needs.

Mostly I'm wondering whether anyone else has ever done what I'm trying to do here. My tool has well defined CSV, TSV and JSON flags -- has anyone else ever tried to use an actual full CLI tool unchanged to build a GUI around? What challenges should I be ready to face?

I dunno man, Starfield is _exceedingly_ bland and samey when you venture off the quest rails.

Every encounter, point of interest, building, outpost or whatever feels like it was put there by an algorithm with very little concern for why something might be where it is.

Skyrim is my game of the decade because every little detail in the game feels like it has purpose. Every ruin has a history. Every house a story. Every path, sign, bandit camp and animal den has a purpose. The world feels lived in, and it makes you not want to use fast travel.

Maybe the magic recipe is procedural/llm generation, which is then crafted and moulded by people into something amazing.

Yes, but people are allowed to express a strong opinion on a complex subject without also specifically mentioning all the caveats and possible counter-arguments to their position.

By all means argue back and add the nuance you think is missing, but it's intellectually dishonest and lazy to just say "ah, but it's more complicated than that".

See the earlier comment to you.

I think you have this 100% backwards. I heard similar comments to yours inside some large Linux vendors, too, and I think they betray a profound misunderstanding about the nature of large-scale Unix deployments over the years.

FOSS Unix is recent and mostly small-scale and transient deployments of containers, not long-term storage... but before that, there were decades of vast scale commercial Unix systems, which dwarf the FOSS stuff.

I think this is reasonable stand. Piracy does affect revenue, but probably quite a bit less than anyone makes it out to. I believe most that pirate would not have paid in first place, either because they don't value it high enough or they do not have enough money to pay for it.

Not that actions of those selling does not likely contribute much more to loss of revenue, mainly by making content unavailable. Availability or pricing compared to product is often sub-optimal.

No, the genetic factor itself is something new here, and interesting even to this reader with an academic background in a related field. Florin Curta (a very respected scholar overall) has held out against the mainstream view of a Slavic migration into the Balkans on the basis of a supposed lack of archaeological evidence. So, I suspect that many scholars, as soon as they learn of this news about the ancient DNA, will immediately think “Hmm, I wonder what Curta has to say to that.”
If you declare war on someone, you should prepare to be occupied if you lose. The fair way out of occupation is a sustainable peace guaranteeing safe existence to Israel. And it requires a lot of good will from Arab population in both Palestine and neighboring countries that has been missing since 1948 (or even earlier if you consider Arab revolts in British Palestine).

I am still missing any evidence Germany exerted any pressure in that regard. It would be different for Greece, obviously.

> That said, if you listen to German politicians they still don't believe Portugal is out of the GFC and would reinstitute austerity there in a heartbeat given the chance.

If you listen to the larger parties of the current German government they would like to "modify" the "Schuldenbremse" (self-inflicted limitation on debt, fixed on constitutional level) to be able to raise more debt. And even in the conservative party the respect for austerity is declining along with the financial well-being of the German federal states.
I also have the right to copy and extract parts of the content under Fair Use. If content providers are making this technically impossible - thus depriving us of the possibility of using it for teaching, research, news reporting, or criticism - how are they not violating the social contract?
They don't take refugees, because they are already not well-off economy wise. Having millions of refugees would cause their economy to collapse, and they don't have the capacity to feed them all and shelter them. They also can't ensure that every refugee is not a militant that would try to attack Israel back, from their borders, causing the IDF to lob bombs onto Egyptian territories.

Why are your trying to blame all Palestinians, like as if they are a monolith and all of them are troublemakers?

The page from the link says:

> it brings the depth of a role playing game to the freedom of a survival sandbox

I guess you could argue it doesn’t directly state that it’s an RPG, but even claiming it has the depth of one seems to suggest a deep story that I’m arguing is typically hard to achieve with a procedural world.

I would argue Terraria’s depth is in its crafting mechanics and variety of loot, but not its story. I’ve not played Valheim, but have heard it compared to a 3D Terraria.

That’s disingenuous - part of your compensation at many companies involves the expectation that the work is rewarding or its outcome has some non-monetary compensation. This is especially true in entertainment and media industries where workers will even be asked to work at a discount for the prestige.

Otherwise why do finance have to pay engineers more (at least here in London) or why are the interesting jobs nearly always paying below market?

If the show or film was cancelled after the worker signed a contract to work, the expectation of the worker when they signed up was that said work will see the light of day. Part of the compensation would be having the work on your CV etc and the prestige of your name on the credits.

The studio has reneged on an expectation the worker had when they accepted the contract and did not compensate them fairly for this new risk.

So you are saying that you have no issue with a framework where people have put money towards material (funded it) but can at any future time be denied access to that content?

Furthermore I still believe you haven't actually read the article. As you are heavily focused on what appears to be media content. Where the article touches on digital material in general like software.

In general the article does a good job of highlighting an issue the sort of framework that is widely prevelant.
> iMessage is like Discord. It is messaging service tied to specific backend, and also devices in this case.

It's different, because the only texting app on the iPhone automatically prefers iMessage. Did you make a group with 2 iPhone friends and now you're adding a non-iPhone? Congratulations you now have two group chats. No way to merge it, and you have to manually tell everyone not to use the first one. But they will anyway, and the conversation splits.
It’s not though, in law, as they are different crimes. And that’s where copyright infringement even is a crime rather than a civil matter as it is in many places.

It can't be worse than in the mid-90's (at least in relative numbers, of course absolute numbers will be much higher because the market is so much bigger now).

Ever since services like Steam existed I have pretty much pirated zero games, it's just too much hassle compared to clicking the Buy button on Steam (and if it's too expensive, the next season sale is always just around the corner). In comparison, my 90's self owned pretty much zero bought games.

Or as our Lord and Saviour Gaben ;) said:

"The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates."

Still spot on.
How is that even relevant? The stock Messages app doesn't conflict with any of the other messaging apps.

pg's words proved to be true. Altman came back king of the cannibals.

No. Given the current situation, as explained by the article, the moral thing to do is piracy, as a form of resistance at the very least.
Which country has such systems?
Copying something does not remove the thing from the original owner, hence these are different acts.

Referring to such things as theft or stealing is lazy and incorrect, regardless of relative severity.

The fact you use the term “stealing” in your justification of the act being “stealing” kinda points to your own circular reasoning there, rather than a good defence.

We can agree it’s wrong without polluting the semantic space. Otherwise we may as well just call everything “murder” or “terrorism” and be done with it.
It's easier for anti-Israel propaganda to be more successful here when the people leading Y-Combinator, who own and manage Hacker News, are also anti-Israel, some possibly antisemitic. If it didn't take sides and mandated neutrality, it would flag content from both sides. If a moderator on HN acts out of line with the policy or sentiments of YC leadership, they would be corrected. The battle of ideas begins with who controls the platform and what their policies are.

In many cases RPG is used to mean "character classes, skill trees, and/or skill progression" as opposed to "your character is mostly always the same but with different weapons"

(e.g. in terraria you can get very different characters depending on how you play, but the difference is mostly due to swappable equipment)
>What path would tax authorities use to ask Signal users (and only Signal users) if they've used cryptocurrency?

Tax law. In the UK, every single payment in cryptocurrencies, however small, is a taxable disposal that you have to include in your tax return if your total proceeds or gains from all investments are above a certain threshold.

I'm not ideologically opposed to cryptocurrencies and neither is my wife. She's just allergic to anything that could potentially raise tax questions.
Interesting. So having a state isn't a right. Or are you saying Palestinians are not people?

I'd be thrilled with this. This is free marketing to a much broader customer base than I could achieve. Some customers would circle back for more in-depth knowledge and support from the original author/company.

Take, for example, ElasticSearch. They got wider recognition after AWS started "shipping" ES as a service, but sadly, their investors thought they could compete with AWS.

Also, as others mentioned, you should consider a license in advance. And remember that many of these companies benefited from big companies: HashiCorp is getting golang, libraries, OS, and tooling for free, ES is getting JDK for free and etc.
Yes, our american friends just forced that move for Sahara and just did this: https://www.elespanol.com/mundo/africa/20231208/marruecos-co...

Who do you think sold that to our neighbours? No, they are playing two decks and harming us on the way.

I do not have anything against americans per se, but they have a big responsibility on what happened in Europe lately and they are also playing two decks there for many reasons I won't explain here now, but Nordstream/Germany's russian gas is one of the topics, if not the topic.

Anyway, I prefer to leave it here and comment more about other news, particularly technology, which is what I enjoy the most.

Feel free to reply, I just do not want to start a long thread about this since it is inside HN policies to talk about these topics the less the better :)

Thanks for your exchange.
A book carries the same licensing terms as a DVD and as most digital media. However, the implementation of some of these terms is much easier or harder depending on the actual medium. It's easy to lend a book, it's hard to achieve the same thing with digital media. But in the EU at least, if a platform supports a way for a user to transfer their ability to a different user, then re-selling or lending through this mechanism is legal.

The real abuse from digital media sales is the seller maintaing the right to revoke access to the work arbitrarily.

> Instead, Apple drops all message security entirely from cross-platform communications for iOS users, allowing anyone to read those messages whether or not they have a crowbar.

I think that's my biggest gripe with the situation. Or my second-biggest. My biggest gripe is that the only notification that your messages are now not end-to-end encrypted is the green bubble. They don't tell you anywhere that the green bubble (also) means that.
