> I'm surprised that the "alarm" is over the tourism and filming of it.

It is possible to be alarmed about more than one aspect of a situation, but decide to only focus on one part of it when telling a story.

People being homeless and doing drugs isn't news to me (sadly), so focusing on that in this piece would not have given me any new information. However, I had no idea that people were exploiting drugged-out homeless people for TikTok views; that was new information to me.

Can you please explain? I can’t see the connection.
I wonder why they tried to move away from physical buttons to begin with ? Is it because they are cheaper to implement in software ?
Funny, for years Buffet despised tech. He said that he wouldn't invest in areas he did not understand. That's why he's the best. He's always reevaluating his views and acting as needed even in his 90s.
This makes much more sense with a patent than copyright.

How do you trademark the exact shape of a Lego brick?

On the other hand, trademarks tend to be some form of art, so copyright and trademarks make sense to coincide

It's probably too short. It would live authors with very little bargaining power particularly if they become bigger in their writing carriers. Corporations would just have to wait 20 years and save themselves the exclusive rights and royalties.

It should be looked form the frame of how long is appropriate to promote the creation of the arts etc. Realistically no author is thinking I won't create this art unless I get lifetime + 70.

I would think 50 years total is a much more reasonable figure.
Does this mean that if we stopped producing any new forever chemicals today, it would take more or less three years for organisms to expel them from their systems? Are they destroyed or simply taken out of the organisms and ready to be reabsorbed by the same or another organism for ever?
The README says "To build from source, follow the steps below on Fedora 36 or 37. Other versions may also work but are not officially supported" So it seems on Mac and Windows docker is the only way. :(
Obviously, this is the airline's right.

However, I'd argue that they should be treated like a utility, and that it should not be their right to arbitrarily refuse service.

Banning people for valid reasons should be the job of airport security and the courts.
I get it but all I can hear over and over is “arbitrary strings are better than a sound typesystem” and we all know that’s just not true.
You touched on a major cultural conflict that exists in the west today - the competing interests of individual freedom and sustaining the society. Many old traditions that seem cruel or anti-freedom were/are really there to keep the society existing. Marriage and staying married is probably one of them for reasons you identified. Western society is already collapsing (birth rates below replacement level), perhaps partly because of easy divorce and other traditions being lost.

Another reason may be that most young men are unattractive to women and most old women are unattractive to men. So without any stable life-long partnership, people would make the most of their value in the attractive part of their life and leave the other part missing out emotionally (for men) and economically (for women) which probably isn't good for anyone.

It depends on the law where you're from. US citizens are sometimes surprised that they can be prosecuted by the US for crimes they've committed abroad, even when it's not a crime in the place where it happened. The term for this is "extraterritorial jurisdiction".
To be fair, there's a lot of room between having to work to eat and learning what hard work is.

A childhood of workin outside, whether that's working with animals or working in the soil, teaches entirely different lessons than living in video games or social media and eating food that magically shows up on grocery store shelves.

I obviously don't know you or your children and am picking on video games and social media only in a general example of many children's common experiences today.
Do silicon valley companies still have a big incentive to fight copyright extension?

The public domain and copyright expiry is one more set of requirements for SV code to have to implement and support. It's way easier if the owner stays for ever, and that there is a single owner
Also more compact and flexible: a software button can be repurposed for different screens or localized to different languages, without making a different physical design. It makes sense from many perspectives, except for the perspective of usability (especially usability without looking at the controls).
No, they removed the code in Stockfish 16, released June 30, 2023 but it wasn't used for much or made much difference before then, after they introduced the neural net.

The case was SEGA v. Accolade, but the lockout system on the Genesis worked on the same legal theory (e.g. induced trademark infringement equals Doctorowian[0] interpretations of "intellectual property"[1]). For the Game Boy, the problem was that Taiwan[2] didn't have a copyright treaty with Japan, but they did have a trademark treaty, so if you induced pirates to commit a trademark violation you could get them with something. Same idea, but the jurisdiction is different, so all the existing case law about not turning trademark into mutant perpetual copyright wouldn't apply here.

[1] Yes, it's a shitty made-up term to make you confuse four different kinds of law, no I don't care. There's enough negative sentiment around "intellectual property" these days that the Stallmanian position sounds like a defense of it now.

Also, the full consumer (RTX) stack is supported. Lots of people who are gamers, or want a hobbyist rig can go out to the shops and start with a RTX.

There's a lot of reasons people who are a little more into mainstream tech would want Linux.

If you do embedded, those systems often run Linux, and it appeals to anyone who likes the idea of one standard platform for everything, so you might as well use it on the desktop. Especially with RasPi work, which is similar enough to Ubuntu that it really does seem more or less unified.

It's also free, and can run on old computers.

It doesn't have any commerical incentives to leave out features, so a large linux distro can support every protocol, file format, and filesystem with no hacking and fussing and buying expensive compatibility apps.

It supports lots of old windows stuff via WINE.
The discount rate is doing a lot of work here. There is a discount rate such that we're not talking about shortsightedness. Getting it right is difficult. But as an example, how much would you buy an investment that pays a hundred dollars, guaranteed, next year for? Trivially, the discount rate includes at least the expected amount of inflation; it's not worth a dollar.

For assets line like IP you have to factor in how risky the returns are, how much investment you'd have to make to see them (e.g. making a movie), and overall strategy (do we want to be in that line of business).

All this to say - if you have IP that pays 10 million a year, you can value future returns on that IP in today's dollars. If someone offers you more than that to buy it, you should take the deal; you come out ahead.
Victorian England will forever live on in Sherlock Holmes novels, Ripperana, Dickens Fairs, steampunk. There is an article about Victorian customs on the front page. It is literally one of the most overexposed, overplayed, and overused historical eras.
> Reducing the length of existing copyright terms might be considered an ex post facto law.

It's arguable that "about a century" was not what the drafters of the Constitution had in mind when writing "a limited time", but convincing the Supreme Court of that would be harder than an actual amendment.

But isn't the ex post facto prohibition mainly related to consequences of past actions rather than general public policy? No one is going to jail because copyright terms were reduced to 15 years from 95.

I think such a reduction would definitely be constitutional if it were phrased as "all new copyright terms will be XYZ, and existing ones will expire XYZ from the effective date of this act," but I'm not totally convinced that's necessary.

I think it's more of a sign that they're incapable of building software just like almost every other car company.

Car makers are starting to strip out CarPlay as well because they can see the consumer wanting CarPlay to control everything and car companies don't want to give up control.
Screens simplify the design, testing, reduces expense and variance with even more injection molds, wiring for each button, labor costs, etc.

There are nothing but upsides for the auto maker, but it's mostly downsides for the end user. It's flashy, which helps initial sales, but consumers hate ever little inconvenience after having the car for a few months.

I found some experimental data from other people with aphakia:

https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1016/0042-6989(92)9016... ("Scotopic spectral sensitivity of phakic and aphakic observers extending into the near ultraviolet")

It looks like it's basically the entire ~315-420nm range. And, we normal/phakic people are technically sensitive to all of those wavelengths too—they're just very heavily, not completely, attenuated by lens absorption. Your relative sensitivity is greater by a factor of maybe 10,000, at 350 nm.
The show Silicon Valley well parodied this phenomenon. It implied that the evasive "no" is commonly because VCs don't want to be known for passing on an investment, outright, that then later takes off.

Which would reflect negatively on their judgement, in more or less a worse manner than it would when risking money on something that fails.

The implied choice then becomes to probably lose money but retain reputation, or to protect money at the possible cost of reputation. Funds can't invest in everything, even if passing on something borderline is a repuation risk. The "not a no but no" third option seeks to both retain reputation and protect money.

It was sitting around in the Texas blackout in February 2021 that really got me to think about the scale of the disaster on our hands. I realized that there was nothing the government could do other than wait for the state to thaw, and it was pretty unnerving to think about. I also remember how incredibly ironic I thought it would be if global warming meant I died of hypothermia in South Texas (a fate that a few sadly did succumb to; I really was a bit scared since I've never actually had to live at such low temperatures and never without heating). I'm generally much more worried about heatstroke.

I've lived here all my life, but I do wonder at what point I'll need to move. I actually had lunch with a couple old colleagues this week and interestingly, we're all lifelong Texans and talked about leaving the state. Currently it's more about politics, but we also talked about future climate as a concern. Once my parents and aunts/uncles are gone, I don't know that there will be much to hold me in place.
I plan on uploading a BD rip of Steamboat Willie to YouTube at midnight January 1st, 2024. I'm curious if a copyright strike will happen and if I can defeat it.
You would need to be very careful when defining "crimes against humanity" to not be post-facto law. It is like the maxim of it being better to let a hundred guilty go free than punish one innocent: if being innocent is no defense then why would anyone bother to be innocent?
It was a bit thin, but I still had fun playing! I will be sad if they don't develop it further. Then again, I'd kind of like to see more of their legendary forgotten settings like Dark Sun...
You don't seem to have any doubt. When I broach this subject, it always goes one of two ways (so far):

1. Other party either agrees or doesn't agree entirely but acknowledges the disparity between common experience and economic reports

2. Other party is an economist and believes the official data is more-or-less beyond reproach.

Maybe I jumped the gun. I figured since you were demanding proof, you are likely to belong to the latter option.

> And it’s voluntary. If you don’t want a marriage, don’t have one.

Tell that to Australia and New Zealand where de-facto relationships (legally equivalent to marriage) occur automatically when you've been living together for 3 years or so. Some people can fall into it unaware but I know of people who intentionally dumped their partner just before the time limit to protect their property.

I don't know why it works like this but it seems like whoever wants marriage for people in general wants it more than each individual participant does, so it might be for a societal rather than individual benefit.
> Screens simplify the design, testing

I wouldn't even say this. It just moves the design and testing out of hardware and into software (which, remember, is running on touchscreen hardware that still also needs to be designed and tested).

"More importantly, it provides ammunition for an army of hungry personal injury lawyers to tear into Tesla's cashpile in a feeding frenzy of civil litigation."

I hear Tesla's software is pretty good. Don't care, still want physical buttons.

Someone could make perfect software that was tailored to my specific desires. I'd still want physical climate and media control buttons.
I think you’re right. And what they’re paid to not be able to understand is that their own solutions are always, always worse than CarPlay (and also I assume the Google version).

Love our Toyota. Loathe the Entune system that would have been awesome in 2003. For Christmas, I’m having that awful homegrown experience replaced with a proper CarPlay setup.

The ship is a pattern that persists in time.
The same reason as the farcical Tesla yoke. Cars are luxury fashion these days, and when it comes to fashion, function goes out the window in service to form. It's not about providing a good product, it's about increasing your social standing.
They did add official support for the latest gen rdna cards to rocm.
Yes; that's the whole point. There is even a computer verified proof that (for some version of std) if you only use the standard library and don't use unsafe, then you can't write a program that exhibits unsound behavior.

Of course, if there's one bug in unsafe code, then all bets are off, but that's still a bug in the unsafe code.

Because Tesla cut all sorts of things to cut costs and called it technically superior. A bunch of people drank the koolade. Other vendors tried to join the party.

It’s not technology, it’s blatant cost cutting that provides a significantly reduced experience.
Disagree. Boston Dynamics has had locomotion solved for a decade. Vision systems have advanced significantly, as well as the human language interface. Both seem to have held back industrial robotics use since widespread deployment of the technology on auto assembly lines. These days, asking the computer to recognize a coffee mug on a dining table is no big deal.

I mean, maybe, but (a) I've been told many times that it's code, and it's like a running joke in the industry, and (b) if you have a lead, you're not worried about reading tea leaves anymore. Saying "we'll invest if you have a lead" is like saying "we'll invest if you put a successful round together". Who wouldn't? The point at which you have a lead for your round is often the point where you start turning them down.
> I think it's more of a sign that they're incapable of building software just like almost every other car company.

I think the general sentiment is that no, in fact, touch screens are a bad UX for cars where you, the driver, are supposed to be looking at the road.
A physical button can, too. You make it dependent upon the text on the current screen that’s displayed. The important thing is you can feel the button or dial itself, not what text is on it.

Even when you glance to see where a button is or which button it is (temp or whatever), once you know where it is, your eyes can divert back to the road and you can feel around for the dial or button when you miss it.
Visibility can help solve a problem, but once you are at a certain level of visibility and your problem is not solved, more visibility isn't going to solve it.
[There's this classic instructional video](https://youtu.be/vm-MrkoJPC8)
I would think that in safety critical systems design (flight control systems for instance) there is a deep, well understood field of study over when, and why to retain mechanical inputs over digital (soft) inputs.

Which makes me wonder how far VW and others went, justifying their decisions to walk away from them.

Maybe I misunderstand how strongly advice exists to retain them? I mean, they didn't go with side-stick steering, fly-by-wire, a number of things. It almost certainly is cost driven, but I would love to understand where their compliance and safety "epidemiologists" were in this.
Wow, good find. That poster could be huge for IP lawyers in the next few weeks.
No we are not. Voice and touchscreens now for much computer usage.
I'll take a guess. It's been a while since I've looked for ally at another language. But English has fewer cases of verbs, and a more rigid sentence structure.

We have more special cases of past tense verbs and weird pronunciation, but I think it's easier to duck up and still make sense in English? Maybe.
