I think this should apply to most essential services (and libgen absolutely is an essential service; others are E2EE messaging and E2EE cloud-hosting). After all, people like to imagine (and are often told) that taxes are not a ransom you pay to the ruling oligarchy, but almost a donation you almost willingly give away for the sake of maintaining public infrastructure.

But the key words are "a better world". I don't think this is really possible in, uh, this world. Imagining a world like that is a bit like a soviet utopian-fantasy book about the world of established communism. "Sounds Good, Doesn't Work".

To be fair, though, if "the government" you are talking about is the one of the USA, I thinks loc.gov is pretty great stuff. I mean, it's pretty shit compared to what somebody like "the Anna" could do with this amount of resources, and it isn't really made in a way to make researching, copying and saving stuff locally easy, but still, I'd love if every country maintained something like that (at least). Lots of relatively rare interesting stuff out there.
Since you repeated the same thing you said the previous time and immediately followed with points that still ignored how Qualcomm itself also wouldn't be able to emulate or sell x86 without the cross-licensing agreement (Intel needs AMD's patents to utilize much of modern x86 as much as AMD needs Intel's) I have to ask as a sanity check - am I talking to a human or a bot?
Yes: we can pay authors nothing. It works. In fact we can make them grovel to get something published, and even get them to pay for the privilege of being considered for the publishing we're offering zero compensation for.

We can give ourselves a cool name. "Elsevier" has a nice ring to it.

> There is no logic to economic nationalism, other than as wealth transfer from taxpayers to a few wealthy people.

It doesn’t have to be that way, and phrased a little more benevolent, economic sovereignty is a good thing. It’s for that reason the EU has invested a lot of money into Galileo instead of just using GPS. Or look at the Ariane rocket program. It mandates an absurdly complex manufacturing schedule with thousands of European companies, effectively costing a lot more than just relying on SpaceX. At the same time, though, it creates a lot of jobs and distributes wealth throughout the union.

Embezzling is a problem, and politicians funneling money to their cronies too. But it can be done differently.
Were it to go to trial, legal discovery would be fun. How many internal conversations were had about, “Those jerks at WPEngine are eating our lunch”. Rather than, “I am truly concerned about how the trademark is being confused by this one specific successful company. Whatever can we do?”

Thanks. My current pattern is to parse the files with rust, copy from stdin into a psql temp table, update the rows that have changed and delete the rows not existing anymore.

Markets don't account for the human capacity for self-deception. For a market to work, there needs to be sufficient information on both sides to decide whether to buy or walk away. There also needs to be enough logic to make a cold decision and not let emotions, hopes, desires, fantasies, or hallucinations influence your decision in any way.

Market participants count on the human capacity for self-deception, asymmetrical information, and emotion-based decision-making. In the case of teachers, there will always be some unwise rationalization based on the kids they'll be helping, how beautiful San Francisco is, how nice it is to be on the ocean, etc., which will cause them to make a bad decision about taking a job in San Francisco.

Maybe that's a job for AI. Tell it your job offer and how you spend your money, and it will tell you whether or not you can afford to take the job or run away.

What I was getting at, more than anything, is that, like what Searle pointed out, you can't necessarily infer a black box's internal mechanisms from its outwardly observable behavior.

Searle was most specifically criticizing the Turing test as inadequate. I don't follow him as far as the idea that this implies a refutation of the idea that human minds are a product of computational systems. To me that idea relies on an untenable definition of "computation". But the weaker conclusion that you can't simply assume that two completely different systems that exhibit the same observable behavior must use the same mechanism to achieve that behavior does strike me as compelling.

Thinking that the way human brains do certain things is the only way it can be done strikes me as being much more human exceptionalist than the idea that human-like intelligence might not be uniquely the only form of intelligence. Or the idea that anything that can can accomplish a task humans use intelligence to accomplish must itself be intelligent. Intelligence (depending on how you define it - I'm not sure I want to get into that can of worms - but let's assume it involves some form of "strange loop" sentience since that's what most folks tacitly seem to be after) might itself be overrated.

I'm curious why you feel this way.

A long time ago as a college student I used Tcl in an EDA internship. It was awful for reasons completely unrelated to Tcl. There was a library of tool-specific primitives. The primitives were badly documented, badly tested, and nobody actually understood how any of it worked except cargo-culting and copy-pasting each others' scripts. Code only worked on the happy path and there was almost no thought given to edge cases. There was no culture of code review so nobody scrutinized your code to find out whether you were using Tcl in the right way or not. I'll grant, though very lightly, that Tcl has more accessible metaprogramming facilities than Python which makes it easier to misuse than Python. Similar to how Ruby in the hands of a undereducated/bad Ruby programmer is also quite gross.

But I had the same issues using Perl in the EDA industry. The conclusion I came to was that code standards were just abysmal in EDA because code was largely seen as a cost-center activity rather than a profit-center activity as the real output was the ETL or the device and not the code that went into it.

I re-learned Tcl when I was older and when my time in EDA was a faint memory and I found the language a joy. It was remarkably easy to get started in and really easy to build an application out of. This experience further made me reflect on how bad the code culture in EDA was.

So I'm curious what specifically you'd see the EDA industry move to and how you think it would fix the problems EDA currently has with Tcl. Python, is the successor I imagine? That said my actual time in EDA was very short so I welcome the opinion of an actual insider.
I mean it's not literally about the piratebay or libgen, or napster or whatever. I think historically it's true to say that it never really mattered how much effort they invest in destroying piracy. The fact that storage gets cheaper, yet text won't grow in size over time also makes me rather optimistic. Piracy was also always a decentralized effort by like-minded individuals, it's about the idea, you can arrest people, seize a name and people die, but an idea will never die.

Piracy of books in particular has been around since the 17th century btw, if that helps to convey why I'm not worried.
>Musk has already retracted his claim[1] that he's a "free speech absolutist

The article you link shows that his subsequent actions are inconsistent with that claim, but not that he's 'retracted' it.

Musk has repeatedly said that Twitter will allow 'all legal speech'. There's nothing illegal about sharing links to this document in most jurisdictions (certainly not in the US).
You really don't get it.

Matt seems incapable of clearly separating his roles as:

Person involved with WP foundation

Person who is head of Automattic

Person who contributes/whatever to wordpress

This is highly dangerous from a legal/conflicts of interest perspective, and will result in problems for the Foundation, and the Community, and for Matt.

I don't support it because it's private equity grab or whatever, instead i don't support it because it's dangerous, arguably highly unethical, and appears like using your power against a competitor you don't like more than it looks like "trying to save the open source community from a private equity grab"

He could easily solve all of these things by recusing from actions the foundation considers against his company's competitors, etc.

That would be the clearly ethical thing to do.
Instead he doubles down and appears to use all power available to him to stomp out a company that is the main competition for his business.
> Even as late as 2009 or so, Silverlight tooling was bringing in money for Microsoft

Huh. It always kinda seemed like a "Microsoft's version of <...>, because Microsoft always has to compete with everything, including <...>". In this case, <...> is "Adobe Flash"

I'm curious if people have examples of what it was used for?

Looking at the Wikipedia page [1] which says

"According to statowl.com, Microsoft Silverlight had a penetration of 64.2% in May 2011. Usage on July 2010 was 53.6%, whereas as of May 2011 market leader Adobe Flash was installed on 95.3% of browsers, and Java was supported on 76.5% of browsers.[10]"

That shocked me - what was this used for, anyways?

Wikipedia goes on to say

"Silverlight was used to provide video streaming for the NBC coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing,[11] the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver,[12] and the 2008 conventions for both major United States political parties.[13] Silverlight was also used by Amazon Video and Netflix for their instant video streaming services"

If Silverlight was being used for Netflix I can see it being installed on 60%+ of browsers just from that.

Still, I'm curious - anybody have have examples of what else it was used for?

Well, looks like they finally figured it out - but it's a hacky fix, they're still not using a proper URL parser. Here are some of the ways you can trick badly implemented URL parsers (haven't tested all of them on twitter specifically, but at least a couple do indeed work):

I used to be, for most of the same reasons as you. What ultimately convinced me was realizing that our judicial system can never be 100% perfect, so we would always have a non-zero number of innocent people executed as long as capital punishment is on the table. To me, I think the cost of keeping people incarcerated is worth the cost of accidentally executing innocent citizens.

Put a bit more personally: would you support capital punishment if you had to pull the trigger, and you would be killed if you executed an innocent inmate? Most people I speak with would be fine pulling the trigger, but no one I’ve talked with would be okay with taking responsibility for mistakes.

I'll admit that sin taxes imposed on the general public aren't usually a very good idea. For example, I'd much rather see government subsidizing the costs of healthy foods rather than add a tax on sugar.

I can see taxes and tariffs imposed on corporations being useful to limit the amount of certain harmful goods or to help offset the costs of externalities caused by those products. I'd still rather see companies regulated and held accountable for what they do more directly in most cases.
> before launching into detailed criticism of a feature that most agree is (at least in part) the result of Rust moving too quickly.

Is Pin the result of moving too quickly? Maybe.

Personally, I’m not convinced that it’s generally possible to explore the design space properly by having long conversations. At some point, you have to ship. Figure out if it’s a good idea with your feet. Just like pin did.

I don’t claim to be smarter than anyone on the rust team who worked on this feature before it was launched. Only, now it’s launched and people have used it, I think we should go back to the drawing board and keep looking for other approaches.

If you choose to accept all comers, you get to accept all comers. If you decide to then boycott one specific group, particularly when it is a competitor of the person announcing the boycott, it may in fact be illegal.

This is easily solved by having principles ahead of time and adhering to them (IE we only serve people/companies meeting the following criteria). This did not happen here - instead they have applied a boycott to a specific group after the person involved threatened them as competitor.

Look up "concerted refusal to deal", etc.
That's not a benefit to me if I can't control how someone gets access to my vehicle, dealership or not. If I want a dealership to be able to assist me, I should have to authorize that dealership to have access, and have the power to revoke it at any time. Same for the car manufacturer. It ideally should include some combination of factors including a cryptographic secret in the car, and some secret I control. Transfer of ownership should involve using my car's secret and my car's secret to transfer access to those features.

If you feel like this sound like an asinine level of requirements in order for me to feel okay with this featureset, I'd require the same level of controls for any incredibly expensive, and potentially dangerous liability in my control that has some sort of remote backdoor access via a cloud. All of this "value add" ends up being an expense and a liability to me at the end of the day.

Sorry, but you are not considering that many (most?) hospitals are trying to optimize for profit, not for their employees' or their customers' well-being. In that scenario increasing the number of medical doctors does not help to improve the working situation for them, but it even endangers them, as they are easier to replace.
