Imo the question is do you want to protect passive users access to the code or developers freedom to use the code how they want it even if that does mean they take existing code, modify it slightly, put it in an embedded device, and enable temper protections on the MCU preventing anyone but them from signing new firmware images? If that embedded device is something harmless like a video player or gaming console most open source developers would probably like to use the license as a crowbar to force the device open, but what if it's a medical device, or a payment terminal the user is explicitly not trusted to modify?
It's legitimate because the law says what is and isn't legitimate.

You spend your reputation to downvote an answer (a question can be donwvoted freely).

The positivity® is an issue too, I agree. Or maybe anti-negativity. On blender.stackexchange.com, where I'm active, we have a problem of few people caring to upvote questions. The best way yo motivate people to upvote a question is to... Downvote it. As long as a question isn't absolutely terrible, if it has negative score, people will upvote it to 0. Which generates reputation for the author of the question, because he gets -2 rep for a downvote and +10 for an upvote.
> I wish the EU would take the money from these fines and put it straight into developing European competition

That would be nice, but currently we have much bigger social issues on the horizon that need funding than FOSS projects, like energy, the environment, the health system, the migration crisis, local defense spending, and the war next door out of which the EU will pay half of Ukraine's national deficit. I think those are more important ATM than having a nicer Fairphone.

It's tough, though. Right now we see lots of alcohol advertising in the form of "Buy Heineken...0% ;) ;)" and in the case of tobacco we see shell companies like Mission Winnow set up to covertly advertise Marlboro during sporting events. There's also an increasing trend of guerrilla marketing for these brands, like popular posts on social media taking the form "Formula 1 cars never looked so good as they did in the old Marlboro liveries" which attract tonnes of comments like "this post makes me want to smoke."

When you are fined for speeding, can you then just go on speeding like the speed limit does not apply to you, having paid the fine once?

No. Apple is ordered to change their behavior and pay a fine. If they pay the fine but repeat the behavior, they are in for more trouble. The second time around, it would not take years to do the investigation and decide on the fine. It would be really fast.

However, what I'm worried is that they may appeal the fine, and get it reduced. This happens sometimes with these fines, actualy feels like most times.
Extensions, importing, linking? If your (A)GPL licensed app has a plugin framework, does that 'infect' all the plugins to be similarly licensed? There's likely different situations here, or no? Like e.g. Hashicorp go-plugin where separately compiled plugins are dropped into a directory and communicated to via gRPC cross-process. Or WebAssembly Components being composed together.

It is not because you remove the water that you immediately compact. This takes time, so, you are probably going to lose more capacity if you do not refill within 5 years or if you refill every year.

I doubt it. Could be a soft factor, but at the end of the day this (and other rulings) are consumer related.

This being suspicious against the EU mindset is amusing. From a European perspective, the US has enormous influence, the arrow clearly points in the other direction. EU politicians are often desperate to please the overlords to the west, and very little if any pressure is exerted to protect EU interests. Also EU is uncoordinated, and doesn’t act like a unified force at all.

Take the Pirate Bay trial for another example. That was proven to be a US media industry hit job. Lots of things like that. The US hints at sanctions and everyone loses their minds.

Make no mistake, modern US corporations untangled from pesky regulations are still screwing over Americans the most. This “the Europeans are up to something” is amusing in the face of an absolute massacre of the middle class at home, with things like healthcare-insurance-prescription cartels being probably the most egregious example.
I think the initial design principles of Stack Overflow - basically that the balance of incentives will determine the outcome - is still sound. And the initial years of the site showed the people in control were very smart and thoughtful about structuring and fine tuning the incentives.

The problem is that fine tuning (and occasional restructuring) needs to be an ongoing process, and it has stopped. It feels like the original creators left and the site has been coasting on auto-pilot for a few years now.

That's what worries me about the future of SO. It was an enormous improvement over what came before (in fact was created as a reaction to the horrible status quo - expertsexchange anyone?). But if it's left to continue to wither it will eventually become like those sites.

> the security of the continent depends on American hegemony, on American guns and ultimately on American money.

And the security of the American chip industry depends on ASML machines, and American airline passengers depend on EU made airplanes. What's your point? Every post-WW2 economy is dependent on the other economies nowadays. There's no fully independent economy that can survive on its own anymore.

US (and other including EU) companies get fined because they break EU laws, it's not done out of spite. If they dont wanna get fined they should stop breaking the laws. Simple.

Interesting to see how positive the feedback in these comments is. I predict the mood will turn once the West Coast wakes up...
I mean, maybe? I won’t doubt that some people are prone to overkill or hype-driven engineering, but also most of the simplest solutions still look like Kubernetes (e.g., a cloud provider or a platform-as-a-service). The most severe, prevalent danger is people thinking these things are too complex and then trying to roll their own alternative on bare VMs by cobbling together disparate technologies which only the very best sysadmins can do passably (of course every other sysadmin thinks they are in this elite group) and even then the thing they build still leaks implementation details except now there is no market of engineers who are experienced with this bespoke alternative to Kubernetes nor is there a wealth of documentation available online.
AFAIK, having humans recite copyrighted songs from memory and then performing it without permission is illegal in most jurisdictions.

However, copyright law seems to make a distinction between expression/implementation of an idea (which can be copyrighted), and the idea itself (which generally speaking, cannot be). This is why clean room implementation is a legally sanctioned protocol to copy functionality without running afoul of copyright law.

Whether the language model is copying the "expression" (or a particular implementation) of a computating function, or whether it is just somehow re-implementing it given user's instructions, is going to be an interesting debate, and I really doubt people who think it's one way or the other has actually understood the nuances.
I'll bet there's some reason that'd be bad too.
I generally left around 3pm to avoid the Austin rush hour traffic. Sure, I would occasionally stay late but I generally didn’t work much more than a 40 hour week. But this was Facebook games, with a daily release cycle, so there wasn’t really the crunch time that you would have seen at a AAA studio. They catered lunch every day but I almost always left and ate somewhere else.

Personally I appreciated the flexibility to work and leave early.

I think Spotify can direct users outside of the app for payment? From Apple's response:

> Music app developers can even include information about other offers available outside of their app, along with a link directing users to a website to create and manage their account.
Sometimes. Usually people don't like "relaters".

Autistic people are usually great relaters, which gets them disliked as conversation partners when the other side tries to confess something or talk about some personal issue they have.
Amazing project, dreamy images.

"Fingerprint coated" haha !
They do not. This entire case is about them not being able to use in app purchases (in which case they would pay 30%) or steer people to their site to pay for subscriptions. Spotify doesn’t sell subscriptions from the apps, and thus they pay nothing.

Geographic arguments are a very common tool in pop Social Sciences, for example the correlation between landlocked states and poverty or supposed American exceptionalism due to the fertile Midwest (while ignoring similar agrarian immigrant countries like Brazil and Argentina).

Furthermore, the kinds of argumements that Diamond would provide weren't actually "tested" per say. Social Sciences are a "Science" (albeit flawed in some shape or form), but are dependent on validating a hypothesis in a reproducible manner as well, hence why economics has basically become applied math since the 50s (and similar changes in other fields like Sociology, Linguistics, Polticial Science, and Anthro as well)

There isn't much difference between grifters like Perun or Zeihan and Jared Diamond.

Also, Jared Diamond doesn't have a background in Economics or Political Science - he is an Ecologist/Environmental Scientist (and one of the best ones at that), and as such reading GGS induces Dunning-Kruger for those with a background in Comparitive Politics.
Haha you’re not wrong. I love jQuery, but Alpine’s declarative style feels better, and since we don’t have to worry about all the backwards compat we get a library that’s half the size of jQuery Slim.
It cannot happen overnight, but it could happen in a few years. Already now for each gram of beef for example, you have to grow 8-10 grams of maize or feed corn to raise the animal. (Almost no animals are gras fed.) The same area used to grow that maize could be used to grow plants for humans directly instead of "refining" the plants into meat/beef/dairy as it is sometimes called.

Processes have to be adapted,for sure and that will take time. But that is not, I think, the limiting factor at the moment. The limiting factor is our appetite for animals.

Strong Towns did a better description of "The Growth Ponzi Scheme" at https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2020/8/28/the-growth-pon...

The Strong Towns essay does not place the blame on public sector unions, but on how cities funded growth that did not pay for itself.

The Strong Towns essay points out that smaller cities and towns also have a "Ponzi bomb" - it's not limited to big cities, which is all this essay considers.

And it doesn't repeat the misleading observation "these pension ideas were put into practice when life expectancy was 65. now it’s in the 80’s. that’s an awful lot more years of defined benefit payout.".

Why misleading? Because 1) that's life expectancy at birth, when the relevant number is the number of people who live and work until retirement, 2) the actuaries of the 1900s weren't fools - they included the increasing lifespan in their calculations, and 3) there's been decades to adjust any mistakes made then.

> Literally: the barbarians with a monopoly over violence who control the land come by to pillage your spoils, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

What makes this analogy particularly funny is that Apple fits the role of the barbarian perfectly. Together with Google they've established an untouchable duopoly and feel empowered to set rules, collect arbitrary fees and threaten violence (banishment) upon every technology company that is forced to work with them.

Also, those laws say that remembering a song is fine. And playing it in your living room too. But that you'll have to get the licensing right if you play that song in front of an audience, in a pub or on street. At least in most countries.

To translate that to LLMs: training an LLM on songs (or code) is fine. It's the output and what you do with that output that might be problematic.

You are correct, and Spotify can't steer people to a subscription flow outside of the app through the app to not infringe into App Store's policies either. That's one of the main issues, either you pay the 30% Apple tax or you can't even tell your users "click here to subscribe" to a checkout flow outside of the app and App Store.

I didn't interpret the parent comment as saying that religion can be used to/is effective at combating excess, but that the only existing efforts to combat this kind of excess come from religious groups (i.e. there aren't any secular groups lobbying against gambling). I don't know if that is true and I don't necessarily agree with the comment btw.
How could there be? The current secular moral paradigm’s foundation is “consenting adults.” There’s no basis for opposing adults willingly betting or doing recreational drugs in that paradigm.

All of the major moral paradigms that do provide a foundation for such a ban are religious.

Show HN: Voicepanel – Gather Feedback Using AI
Hey HN, I’m Asa, one of the co-founders of Voicepanel (https://voicepanel.co). We’re building a new way to gather feedback using AI, as an alternative to running surveys. Simply share what you want feedback on; Voicepanel will recruit respondents, conduct open-ended interviews, and synthesize the insights automatically. Check out a demo here: https://youtu.be/6_C8netV38E, sign up for a free 7 day trial (https://voicepanel.co/) or try out examples of our product in action without a login (https://www.voicepanel.co/#examples).

Why Voicepanel? When working at Google, my co-founder John was tasked with gathering fresh information from millions of local businesses. His team tried several approaches to this problem over the years, but found that the most effective method by far was to use an automated voice bot (powered by the Google Assistant) that would call businesses and ask basic questions like: “Are you open this Sunday?”

With the recent advancement of LLMs and voice synthesis, John and I realized that this insight could be applied to the problem of gathering feedback. John and I both worked at Optimizely where we saw the benefits of combining quantitative data from things like A/B tests & surveys with qualitative data like user interviews. However, we never felt like there were good tools at the intersection of these two worlds.

When looking at the options for gathering feedback or doing market research, some common methods are to either: (1) setup a survey or (2) conduct interviews. However, both methods have some drawbacks.

Surveys are most useful when you can easily categorize the answer space in a way that’s useful and want to quantify the results (ex: “Which do you prefer?”). They are also easy to send out to a lot of people at once. Surveys don’t do as well when too many responses land in the “Other” category or you are seeking open-ended qualitative responses to not only explore a new answer space but also get at the underlying “why” behind a particular answer.

Interviews on the other hand are perfect for open-ended questions (ex: “Interesting. Why do you feel that way?”), sharing designs and prototypes, and exploring the possible answer space. However, interviews don’t scale well. Scheduling interviews takes time, participants may not show up, conducting the interview in a consistent and unbiased manner takes lots of diligence and synthesizing the output can take weeks of manual effort to categorize and quantify the data.

That’s why we are building Voicepanel. With the advent of LLMs and voice synthesis, we think this is a great time to introduce a new medium for gathering feedback that can combine the scalability and quantitative nature of a survey with the depth of a qualitative open-ended interview. We are excited to see what our users do with Voicepanel and look forward to everyone getting deeper, more insightful quantifiable feedback :)
