The problem with this is that there's all kinds of user-generated web content that certain people wouldn't want tax dollars going towards preserving.

I can already look at e.g. the National Film Registry and say I don't care about movies so my tax dollars shouldn't go towards preserving them, regardless of what some bureaucrat thinks is "culturally significant." The film industry has a pretty massive network of artists who are able to go to bat for that stuff, though.

But then take pornography, or hate speech (and/or straight-up misinformation), or content that's illegal in the US but not elsewhere (like drug recipes or weapons schematics). It's already tricky for a private entity to handle convincing people of the value of preserving everything physically and legally possible to preserve. Making an argument for doing it as a public function, even in good faith, could easily turn into a mess-- especially when we can barely agree what should be allowed on the internet now.

Sure. Off the top of my head, consider the nontechnical, non-expert representatives and senators in the upcoming Congress — who, now that Chevron deference is gone, will have to fill in gaps and cure problems caused by adverse or simply wrong decisions by the members of the judiciary (who are also nontechnical and non-expert in the various fields covered by the agencies). If Congress can pass anything, let alone get it signed into law, that is.

Also consider the more-independent agencies, whose boards don't necessarily change composition when the executive administration does.

I mean this entirely in a non-political way, too: I'm playing devil's advocate.

Apropos of the first point, though, do you trust MTG (for example) to engage in wise gap-filling or overriding of the judiciary when it comes to, say, net neutrality or Schedule I drugs?

That's not a snarky question: it's a rhetorical one, only to respond to your point.

> create something that thoughtfully augments human intelligence rather than replacing it

I htink this is a really cool design space, particularly with the framing of the purpose of Zettelkasten as reflecting your personal understanding of the world, your views, rather than a cold, dead categorization of facts and objects.

How can we design software systems that enhance our sensemaking?

- Encouraging us to ask more questions, or write down our thoughts? You can imagine the AI bringing snippets to your attention, asking: "What do you make of this?" or "How might we connect these?"

- Augmenting our notes? Finding nubs of thought, and presenting research/articles to help us develop those lines some more

- Collaboration suggestions? People who wrote about the same things?

Silicon dioxide is not chemically toxic. But you can put microfiber crystals of it in a mammal's lungs and get tumors that grow around them. It is not a huge stretch of the imagination from there to hypothesize that nano- and micro-particles of a nontoxic polymer could also cause problems.
Yeah fair question and one I thought would come up. Tl;dr: those are orthogonal concerns - work/life balance doesn't mean the job is easy, it means it's not toxic and doesn't kill all your time. But more fully, what I mean is:

A healthy (what I meant by "good") work/life balance means you work, and you have a life. You have mostly normal hours excepting maybe an occasional crunch or need to travel to a client; you can go to the doctor if you need to; nobody complains if you have to take a few minutes' break to mediate a fight between your kids during the school holidays; PTO is taken by most people and isn't a big deal - that sort of thing.

The second statement is about what the work side is like. There are jobs where you show up, punch a clock, maybe do a code review or make some pointless changes to a CRUD app, but mostly sit around collecting a paycheck. At least for me, that's soul destroying: feeling like you're doing nothing of value, not even contributing to whatever bullshit purpose statement your employer has invented. Then there are jobs where you are flogged to within an inch of your life, abused daily, have your priorities shifted without any input, have to deal with multiple conflicting managers directing what you do, are subject to politics, maybe pay comes late... Awful.

I'm describing a middle way where you are very obviously aware that you're part of a team facing real challenges, your work has noticeable impact, there's effective competition and sometimes they win and everyone feels it. Your days go by quickly, meaningful stuff gets done (at least, within the context of the company if not solving world hunger), the triumphs take effort and the defeats hurt. The problems you're solving are meaty, you're under reasonable but fairly continuous expectation to deliver high quality work and other people and teams are relying on you to do that.
People use stars differently.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.07643 is some investigatory research describing, among other things, 4 clusters of reasons for starring: to show appreciation, bookmarking, due to usage, due to third-party recommendation.
the point was about the paper thing, not about the joy of writing one's thoughts down or publishing in the public domain. most of my work gets published these days - code, designs, teaching, translations... actually prefer it to keeping backups of obscure random. but of course, people sure do release a lot of cool stuff on github and where not. one of my repos has ±300 stars and going, thousands of papers are anyway near in actual impact.

BUT... the topic is not about releasing stuff in the wild. opensource being a vehicle for research is outside the scope of present discussion. the incentives and the barrier to writing what is called an academic paper is. wild stuff does not bring impact factor, and does not get you closer to a PhD in the practical sense.

the whole paper thing is intended for sharing purposes, yet it keeps people away very successfully. its a system, not a welcoming one, that all I'm saying.
Make a website where you hire people to check out the libraries and publish scores.

My (youtube) hack is pretty simple: when I see an ad that has really terrible targeting, I click it. Not only that I go into the settings and I click "show me more like this" (incidentally this is a great way to see that 90% of ads are completely miscategorized, kindof makes you doubt the whole system). In periods where I'm more diligent about this I've successfully reached a point where over half of my ads are Chinese-language.

Same situation, I truly empathise because it really does seem to take a lot of purpose out of everything. What I’ve found is that you need to replace money/salary/financial success optimisation (assuming you spent a lot of your life and energy to this point focused on these, much like I did) with something else totally unconnected with being measured in that way. For me, I am focused on proving myself as a guitarist in the local jazz and blues scene. These people have no idea how much money I have and wouldn’t give a shit if they did (I didn’t really change my lifestyle after getting lucky so it’s not obvious). So it’s an area I can be creative, grow, and still feel like I’m doing something. At the same time I’m doing part time consulting, mainly for people I worked with in the past who have started companies, just to scratch the tech itch. So far so good but I can’t say yet if it will stick. Maybe for you it’s art, music, going and getting another unrelated degree, or something along those lines? If you have more money than you know what to do with, fundraising and supporting good causes can be really rewarding. Both in terms of giving back something to your local community, and having really nice social elements to it.

One big piece of advice I have is to try to avoid letting others in your social network know exactly how successful you’ve been. Everyone starts wanting to pitch you their investment idea and it can burn down friendships when their ideas are bad. Being a VC to your friends is a path to sadness for everyone.

There are very many differences already pointed out, so to add an other one, there is a difference between a company doing something at scale and for profit, and a private person doing something for themselves.

The people in this community that says “copyright infringement isn’t theft” do not refer to copyright infringement where people exploit the work for-profit and put it out as their own (feel free to find a single occurrence to prove me wrong). The word plagiarism comes to mind, which is morally and (depending on country and circumstance) legally a bigger crime than copyright infringement. The legal system usually also recognize that exploitation done for-profit and large scale should be considered worse and punished harder.

Deniable ("popular app") increase in attack surface?
Unfortunately, nothing will actually change from the inside. This industry is rotten to the core, and companies will continue to exploit users and other companies as long as they can profit from it. It's not like PayPal Honey was some obscure company with no visibility. PayPal knew damn well what they were buying and how the company operates.

The only way this could change is if the tech industry is hit with strict regulations. But considering that governments are technically incompetent, and that they're either in symbiosis or plain bought out by Big Tech, this has no chance of happening. Especially in the US, where any mention of regulation is met with criticism even from consumers, and where Musk will be taking the reigns for the next 4 years.

Once this "scandal" blows over and consumers forget about it, PayPal Honey will either continue to exist, or will rebrand as a different company in the same industry, operating the same way it does now.

As for influencers: it's hilarious that you think any positive change could come from them. They only care about getting paid, and could promote anything that lands in their inbox. Hell, they're often the ones who scam their own audience. We're decades away from regulating that whole mess.
Therapy. Wealth and success is one of the most massive crutches there is. It can make it almost impossible to be truly in touch with your insecurities and pain because its simply too easy to hide in your victory. Your toughest challenge now is to, despite your wealth, find a way to contact the pain that drove you to your hunger for success. As the bible said, it's easier for a camel to get through the head of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven. I interpret that metaphorically.
The court is analyzing the statutes comprising the core of federal telecommunications regulation, and seems in effect to be finding that, e.g., an OC-192 link between two points is "telecommunications", and the facilities needed to use those links to find and retrieve content over the Internet is "information". It's not the definition I'd prefer, but it's hard for me to see how it's "corrupt".

later

Note that the "Definitions" section of the Telecommunications Act (section in question) refers to the term "Internet" in only 3 places, all of them about services running on top of telecommunications providers.

He finally and unexpectedly hit the jackpot after this, but it could have ended a lot worse.

> No, with DRM, you can't make and sell a player

Is it still relevant nowadays? I thought most people just went to online streaming, and you don’t need DRM to enforce all that stuff there.

> Pirating high-res videos already requires special hardware to remove HDCP.

That is true, and a new standard might make it harder for a few years, but:

1. The switch won’t happen overnight, which means pirates would still use HDCP while working on the new one.

2. It’s possible to make piracy prohibitively expensive, but the standard would have to be really really complex. Like, “putting hidden watermarks with display serial number on the stream and revoking keys just for that display” kind of complex. I don’t think it’s feasible.
Try to build bridges, not roads. Sometimes your flow is interrupted or is inefficient because you are searching for the right word, or have a small understanding of a concept. or a better way to express a concept. Try to have a tool that does that small push. but without overwhelming you with data and disrupt your own process.

You usually are not writing for someone else, but for you, and the reward is the process you went through more than the final text. Maybe the user want to go with an AI all the way in, or not, but it must be user decision,and by default it should be something small and not intrusive.

Opposite problem. I am tied to a corporate job, and I'd absolutely know how to use every second. No, really. Every second.
I just had a look, I didn't even push the changes back to GitHub after I made a local clone.

The changes were very minor. My VM was an 8-bit Avr. I just needed to add a profile for an imaginary microcontroller with no peripherals, 64k ram and 64k words ROM.

So what was on GitHub is an unmodified fork, 16 years behind upstream, and has acquired 20 stars. 8 in the last year.

Wealth makes it even more difficult to figure out what to do with your life.

As an example, when I used to work in embedded development I'd come across some weird undocumented behaviour of a peripheral in a device. Inevitably there'd be a post on a manufacturer-hosted forum where someone else had hit and hopefully solved the same thing. To me at the time these were very valuable, but the actual information was created by the community rather than the manufacturer.

As to who would pay for it, that's a tough one - my employer wasn't willing to. I suppose it acts as a commons
It's definitely good UX for a chat app. It was good UX from the beginning, when they had a dark mode before a light mode and made voice chat not require installing anything (which was many peoples' first real-world exposure to WebRTC technology).

It's poor UX for a support forum where you want communication to be one-to-many as much as possible (to spread info to the largest number of people with the smallest amount of info producer effort as possible).
It's okay. Keep learning, searching, asking questions, trying to find answers. Some questions are answered by starting a new company. Others are answered by going on a vacation to Hawaii and learning Physics in the jungle. Sometimes both. Sometimes neither. The idle mind is the devil's playground. So, stay busy, stay hungry, and keep searching.
For the record, the implication here is, put pithily, you have to sell your soul to get rich.

It's the same for spam email, yet most spam gets caught in spamassassin rules that were written 20 years ago and haven't seen much improvement since then. Most bad guys just don't bother to do anything above the bare minimum. For example, I see lots of email getting caught in a rule that checks for incorrectly formatted pseudo-Outlook mailer header, which is trivial to circumvent if you pay any attention to it (the difference is in excessive whitespace, or a slightly incorrect "Outlook" version, or something like that).
You've won the competition, and you've found it meaningless. Maybe you could work on helping others do meaningful things with their lives, rather than being forced to grind and grind and grind their lives away.

I don't suggest mere philanthropy, but structural change. (The nature of which I will not attempt to dictate; after all, identifying the problem doesn't mean I know a solution.)
Just my 2 cents, but I don't really see how your first paragraph proves the assertion you make in the second... Arguments about Netflix using too much bandwidth on an ISPs network are exactly the kind of thing I'd expect FCC personnel to be sympathetic with considering it's the same argument they use for all the other mediums they cover... It ultimately devolves all discussions into crappy metaphors involving phone and radio when the Internet is really it's own thing and should be treated as such.

Meanwhile the FTC handles consumer protection, they are by nature going to be more proactive about this kind of thing. If they handle it then it aligns with their existing incentive structures and they can brag about it to congress in the same way they do for everything else they do when budgeting discussions come up.

No matter how I think about it, the FCC just seems incompatible with what most net neutrality advocates, such as myself, actually desire.
