Because they violated the law? You're expecting the courts to write new laws from whole cloth here if you want IA to win. The courts don't do that, that's the job of Congress and the Senate.

They can assemble multiple pieces of law (both actual law and prior case law) to create a new precedent (aka case law) but there's no prior case law or actual law that makes what IA did legal.

That's why IA should lose according to the law (y'know, the terms being talked about, your own morals and views don't matter in the eyes of it), even if I think in a just world, IA should just've gotten a slap on the wrist and a warning to not do it again.
You don't need to escape all your ampersands and quotes. An ampersand that doesn't form an html entity will render as is, quotes are perfectly fine unless used in an HTML attribute. And in an html attribute, less thans are fine. The body of a script tag has different parsing rules.

The idea is not bad. Execution is always hard with this stuff. I've done a pure Go app platform with this sort of desire for a native tool chain but it's very hacky. I do wonder whether wasm will solve some of this but sometimes it's a solution in search of a problem. Still the simple idea of a server that will pull and run your code on demand with a simple "run x" is always appealing.
What they do is uphold the U.S. global monopoly on high tech products.
The American Library Association addresses the VHS to DVD question in a FAQ on their website. There are more in depth discussions of how libraries can legally switch between formats linked on that page. Of course, IA thinks their use is different, but the VHS analogy doesn’t work.

> Reproducing a VHS to DVD without the prior permission of the rights-holder is an infringement of copyright. This kind of reproduction is not exempt because it is not "fair use" and it does not qualify as a lawful reproduction. However, in a situation where the VHS tape is lost, stolen or deteriorating or is in an obsolete format (a 3/4" tape is obsolete because the equipment is no longer being sold, but a VHS tape is not obsolete) and is not available in the DVD format in the market for a reasonable cost, the library can make a reproduction. But if the reproduction is in a digital format (DVD is digital), then that copy cannot leave the library premises.

This is how I feel as well. I did a little studying, but it not only felt like a treadmill, I actually felt like I was using less of my critical thinking skills the more I studied. Stuff like memorizing openings, memorizing the best move a chess engine would give you for certain situations, stuff like grandmasters memorizing entire games - this all seemed to be pretty common. I didn't see the point in putting in work only to enjoy the game less.

Of course, plenty of people enjoy a much more memorization heavy game. But it feels like ruining the fun part of the game to me.
No Saul Zaentz (who has been dead for almost 10 years) used to own Middle Earth Enterprises (previously Tolkien Enterprises) which was a division of the Saul Zaentz Company but now is owned by the Embracer Group. Zaentz bought the Worldwide Exclusive film and tv rights to the Hobbit and LotR from United Artists which bought them from Tolkien.

All of which is separate from the Tolkien Estate and the Tolkien Trust which is managed by Tolkien’s family.

I was there, AOL was certainly not the internet.
It's an interesting article but it seems to cherry pick a bit. AOL was like a huge BBS that gave its users a limited portal into the internet, and only on a very limited basis starting in 1993. They never really had proper access as far as I know, and for those of us not accessing through AOL things worked perfectly fine and I never accessed anything through or hosted by AOL.

I'm not really sure how to convince you in the end, but it's funny now hearing my own experience was only a legend. I feel like I've achieved something and need a plaque indicating I've successfully moved into some new life phase.
I have a MY2013 CX-5 and that's the only model CX-5 that cannot get Android Auto/CarPlay, which saddens me a bit. The infotainment system is actually completely useless.

It's a shame, because I can see the usefulness of the input controls.

I only use the back-up camera. It's super cool that Mazda actually managed to retrofit this in all the other old models though. I don't think many car manufacturers would bother with that.

It'd be a bit expensive to replace the head unit with an Android-based aftermarket one, so I'm not sure it's worth doing. Depends on how long I'll keep the car.
> The president of the Commission can reject candidates as often as they want (not in theory, but in practice they do), so the member state's power to appoint someone is largely meaningless.

The member states effectively decide who is the president of the commission. A candidate can't go for vote to the parliament without their approval first (72% majority required).

Who is which countries commissionaire and gets what seat is very much part of the whole process of deciding who is going to be the president.

And as the commissioners require the parliaments approval too that is where they usually get shot down instead of being rejected by the president of the commission (can't agree on these beforehand with the parliament)

> it won't even explain if there was a vote on who got to be EU President

EU does not have a president and will not get one without a new treaty to replace the Treaty of Lisbon and is not something the Commission would ever get to decide on (this is the kind of foundational EU treaties that has to be signed by all member states)

> The Council is a joke that won't explain its decisions

Just like any government it mainly explains itself to the people who voted it into power. In this case the governments of the member states / council and to some extent the parliament.
Ironically part of why I use Apple products at all is the human support staff available to me when I lived in London.

Problem with Dell, HP, Lenovo -> ship it back and pray

Problem with Apple -> walk into covent garden and ask.

My experiences with Apple support has been nothing except glowing. (Apart from one work incident where our IT supplier ordered Applecare (3 years service warranty) instead of Applecare+ (2 year accidental damage) - and my employee dropped his laptop).

The point is not that employees left.

The point is that Apple had Masimo describe their tech, the issues and methods they developed to solve them, and Apple walked away to rebuild Masimo's solution.

They succeeded, but unfortunately for them the methods were already patented IP of Masimo, that company which explained this whole field to Apple in first place.

The fact that Apple hired Masimo staff to do so is just the smoking gun.

Dan Boneh is great - his lecture series on Youtube is wonderful.

A book I enjoyed a lot, that straddles the line between approachable and theoretical with a focus on implementation, is Serious Cryptography by Jean-Philippe Aumasson (one of the people behind blake2/3, amongst other things): https://nostarch.com/seriouscrypto
It's both, really. Even if we limit this to dynamically-typed, interpreted languages, Python is far more maintainable that Ruby both because the language and the culture take a stance of "there is one correct way to do something." In many cases, you can do things multiple ways in Python, but the language design is intended to make one approach preferable for a specific problem.

Ruby is heavily influenced by Perl, with a focus on being enjoyable to write. And let me be clear: I loved writing Perl, back in the day. If I still used Perl, I'd still love writing it. But part of why Perl is so fun -- and why Ruby is fun! -- is that it's expressive and flexible, and you can do a lot of things you really shouldn't. This leads to people writing code that was fun to write, but will be difficult to maintain -- and the language's foundation rests on this concept, so the culture is (subtly?) encouraged to embrace it.
For anyone who did it last year, please take a look again - there's a whole load of new expert challenges and extra effect tutorials to try.

The traditional widget-based Qt up to 4.x was a pretty good application development framework (not just a UI framework). From that point of view, both "modern" Qt and HTML are overkill.
> ...government digital services and apps need to become less bureaucratic and formal.

> Beijing asserted that it wants a "user-centered approach," meaning users don't need multiple logins, and can instead use a one-stop platform. Government apps should use a government cloud and central authentication services hosted there.

So, not just de-uglifying the UI, but also the UX and login capabilities of multiple applications. I wonder what powered the authoring of the central auth services in Beijing.

> Looking back historically, people like Einstein and Bohr and John Wheeler all took philosophy very seriously; it directly influenced their physics.

I only recently learned that Einstein had three large portraits in his Berlin office: Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Arthur Schopenhauer. Einstein considered Schopenhauer a genius. Friends and colleagues frequently found him reading random passages of "The World as Will and Representation". He even seems to have copied Schopenhauer's hairstyle in later years. Schopenhauer was also very important to Wolfgang Pauli and Erwin Schrödinger [0].

No policy they put in place will actually coincide with the legal definition of ownership though. In many jurisdictions, there are conditions where you can lawfully purchase stolen property, there are some caveat emptor issues, but assuming the lock occurs after purchase, Apple could in theory be compelled to unlock the laptop for the new owner. There are all kinds of other less dubious ownership transfers as well. Apple just isn't in a position to arbitrate them all while the law recognizes a second hand market.
>as convenient and simple as the centralized ones

I don't think that's sufficient. Take Mastodon for instance. The user count surged recently, demonstrating that it's not actually difficult to adopt or use as a Twitter alternative. But people tend to prefer algorithmically-driven social media that's optimized not to give them agency, but to be maximally attention-grabbing and sticky. The centralized and profit-motivated product is worse in the sense that it wastes more of the user's time and makes seeing the things they've explicitly followed more difficult, but that particular kind of "worse" by design is more popular. I don't really have a solution to propose here, just want to point out that sometimes the worse option wins by virtue of being worse, so being "as convenient and simple", or even being better is not always enough to attract people.

Intelligence is compressing information into irreducible representation.
Exactly, and that's my point! The individual who does the invention gets a normal salary which they would've gotten anywhere doing anything (or, at best, a slightly higher salary than others doing similar work), and the people who reap the reward are the shareholders and executives.
I've also never had particular problems making connections over chat (I'm not old and not young); particularly in companies where I've had a chance to meet people in person even once or twice, I've found online communication no problem at all
We can debate definitions and labels but that's not really relevant to the discussion imo, name it whatever you want, what I'm referring to is a company taking VC money to accelerate growth.

Once you take VC money, like Figma did, your goal is a lucrative exit.

It's high risk, high reward. It's a different way to build a company, and it's not really possible to change that once you take that route.

Doesn't mean you have to do this. I am all for building steady profitable private companies that aim for the long run, I think it's a great way to build great companies, but then you should stay far away from VC money, take a lot less risk, have different compensation strategies etc etc.

> 'Gee, when these cars are putting their blinking lights on and it is distracting me, they should all quickly park before I arrive'.

No! Because the accepted thing is to use your turn signal, as it's acceptable to do some research on yourself before asking somebody, or try to keep your voice down in shared rooms, or to not tap people on the shoulder when they have indicated deep work (headphones).

I am upset from people who DON't use their blinkers, who tap you on the shoulder while you have headphones, and who discuss Game of Thrones loudly next to you while you are trying to work, and I have every right to be. People like that make their lack or desire of understanding or following etiquette everybody else's problem. And that's not okay!

The etiquette of new workers is to try to follow the onboarding documents, and the guidance from their assigned "buddy", and if something is missing, distill the questions they have and go over them with the "buddy". If that's what OP's post saying, fine. But I got the impression they simply like to ask questions cause it's more convenient for them. Let the company, however, use that as a learning and drag itself kicking and screaming to update their onboarding.

> That's what self-centered people tends to believe.

The people who don't use blinkers ARE the self centered people, making their hurry everybody else's problem. A person who asks questions can be doing so for many reasons: not complete documentation, getting bad understanding of something, wanting to clarify some info or to be in the same page as the team, etc.

But if they do so incessantly, then there is a problem, and the problem shouldn't be simply solved by saying: "Yeah, just ask John, he's always available and ready to help". As senior devs and leads and VPs of Engineerings or CTOs, we should foster a place where most questions can be answered easily in a self service manner, and our meetings have clarity on at least the big picture stuff.

If all that is already there, asking many questions all the time can rightfully be labeled a "disruption". In that situation, the person asking questions always makes their problem (not wanting to do some work themselves) the problem of everyone else, and that's what self centered people do. In much the same manner, people not using blinkers (illegal, by the way) make their refusal to follow rules everybody else's problem.
Once you have a solid foundation, text chat is almost as easy at maintaining that connection as in person conversation.

Making that solid foundation requires a lot of work though and not everyone has the communication (or empathy) skills to make it work.

Has worked for me, but I'm an outlier in that I grew up on IRC chatrooms before more rich-text and composite media communication methods were available.

Most people on this site in particular are likely to be outliers too: as the way we are communicating right now is as stripped down as possible and people will self-select for this.
"Uh, instance mods don't have more power than admins on other platforms"

False. Instance mods have 100% power over you, which is not true for other multi-community platforms. HN is not a multi-community platform so a poor comparison.

To compare with Reddit: a sub admin can ban your account from a sub, but it cannot do anything with your account at network level. A sub admin cannot decide what you see or do not see outside of the sub. A sub admin cannot nuke your account. A sub admin cannot nuke your followers.

A Mastodon admin can do all of those things to your account.
It has to be said, if you're employing programmers and making them sit in an openplan office you're willingly and knowingly making their job significantly harder, and their day worse.

Open plan might work great for some types of work, but for highly technical and mentally taxing work it's quite litterally the worst possible working environment you could be providing.

There's a reason that many programmers prefer to work from home. Working in a busy office (and that includes open plan offices with even light chatter) is extremely counter productive.
All this is shadowed by the SEO industry. What small sites have in their favour is the long tail of new keywords. In tech there are a lot of them.

That’s really not that obvious. Things like this (being able to ask questions) and allowing other people to focus when they need are not incompatible.

It should be pretty easy to infer for most people whether it’s a good time to start a conversation with another person or maybe you should wait for a few minutes/hours/until the lunch break/whatever
It will shorten variable names, replace true with !0 and many other things. Newer technology might even unroll loops to improve performance but that's a bit different.
Yes, thank you…

I could even prune that down some more. What's wrong with selling goods and services?

Not as a means to the accumulation of enough wealth to cash out and cease selling goods and services, which is what the startup world is trained to do. There's this hyper-focus on financialization, in that nothing means anything beyond the eventual payout, and all things are designed to either succeed or fail at going public and delivering that jackpot.

What about… doing the thing? Making a good, doing a service? What if that thing is in itself a thing to do, a purpose to have? In that case if you are either breaking even and retaining control, or amortizing the cost against something else, then you're pursuing some kind of idea that is not itself 'money'.

Why not that? Why not, directly, a thing that isn't money? I'm given to understand the idea of money is to accumulate the power and resources to do whatever thing your dream envisions. Well, how about cut out the middlemoney and do the thing?
OpenAI Is Not Training on Your Dropbox Documents–Today
When I first encountered chess as a kid I thought it was a game about thinking because that's how we played it. I was good at it. Then in high school I've met a kid that wiped the floor with me because he actually was taught how to play chess. I played with him few times until I won once just because he was lulled by a streak of wins. That was enough for me so I stopped bothering him with myself. Later in some other context I played checkers with him which I used played (and loose terribly) with my grandma as a few years old child. It turned out that I'm wiping the floor with him in checkers. He didn't even won once. Then I formed a overgeneralized opinion that games are not using any universal matter of thinking. Any thinking you do for the purposes of games is narrowly tailored to the game itself. Being good at one means you are still terrible at others. I generalized this opinion even more, into all domains of human activity. So now when highly educated geologist claims something about climate or zoologist claims something about vaccines I know that they are beginner level wrong.
That’s why you send them the link to the prototype, which opens in their browser, not the figma link.

Non-designers want to see “the site” open in their browser and be able to click through the pages, instead of use some design app—that’s like half the point of figma.
