Unless you block the light from your lamp, I can read from it. Unless you block the smoke from your pipe, I can enjoy the aroma, or the high. And the things I purchase are mine, not yours to control in any way. You can get paid for performing the work, not for my enjoyment.
A work of art is so much more than a light from a lamp or an aroma from a pipe, the comparison is so demeaning.
The Copyright Office launched a public consultation in order to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of the current DMCA provisions. This review is still ongoing and was extended earlier this month.
I feel like I keep up to date with things but this caught me by surprise. Not only haven't I heard about this, but this is a pretty damn big deal. Safe harbor and other provisions,... has helped protect the Internet as we know it.
They are also reviewing other less savory aspects of the DMCA, including the anti-circumvention rules. There's a strong possibility that you'll soon be able to modify your phone or PlayStation without being subject to copyright infringement liability.
Fine, then do your work on commission. Leave out the exciting finish until you get your price. Write the next chapter for your book after you are adequately paid for the previous. There are many ways to get paid for performing work. A mechanical reproduction is not a performance.
It's my work, my creation, I should be able to control what's done with it. Who are you to dictate terms to me? What have you done to bring this work to a reality? What moral authority does the user of the work have over its creator?
Wikileaks doesn't just report news, they often encourage and even participate in these very same hacks - it's the difference between CNN receiving an anonymous leak and actually hacking someone themselves and then claiming it was anonymous. If CNN actively worked with and helped to coordinate said hack, I'd hold them the same way I hold wikileaks.
CNN works with administration officials, constantly asking them for anonymous leaks, which the administration gives on a selective basis. Often, this information is classified, and would be illegal to provide through official channels. This is not much different than Wikileaks actively abetting others to send them material.
And quit reporting supposition as fact. Enough already!
Totally agree. The Trump administration is "poised" to eliminate climate science, quote from campaign advisers, and concerned scientists make up this article. Come back when you have something to report.
I am very liberal, and very much a Democrat. Yet, I completely agree. It makes no sense to tax a corporation. Tax personal income. Tax sales of goods and services. Allow a business to invest all its money in itself and it's employees.
I entirely agree that we should not tax corporations at all. However, if we did this, we would need to tax dividends and capital gains at the same rate as income tax.
You have to be very careful when you select and use aloe products
...and have a degree in organic chemistry and access to an assay lab, he forgot to mention.
Not really. He's just saying you should buy name brand products. A brand is not going to risk the millions of dollars they put into advertising and goodwill to skimp a bit by using fake ingredients. Not saying it can't happen, but brand names have sufficient economic incentives to invest resources to ensure quality to a reasonable degree.
This is just a rebranding exercise. He'll "ditch" TPP and come out with a new deal called Trump's Plan for Prosperity with practically the same content and it'll pass easily.
if Hillary hadn't been such a weak candidate, and not had so many skeletons in her closet, and hadn't been involved with SO many shady things over her career, then none of her staff would have been talking about all this on those emails that were leaked, and there wouldn't have been so much dirt on her to be leaked.
I'd believe Hillary lost because of the Comey email investigation leak. But she also lost for a thousand other reasons... not connecting with a large number of disgruntled underemployed workers being the primary reason. Saying this country is great, when no one feels it is a sure way to lose an election.
... A better solution would to to make Apple pay its taxes.
Right. And that could come in the form of a special tariff.
The problem with imposing tariffs is that it can easily start a trade war raising the prices of all sorts of goods, not just Apple's. Getting them to pay their taxes doesn't bring that risk.
What part of "Microsoft has permanently burned their reputation with big banks to a crip" is tough for you to parse?
These big banks still rely heavily on Microsoft for office productivity (Windows, Office, Exchange Server). They have relationships that go back decades. Sure, maybe the traditional MS server stack did not pan out, but I don't think they've totally "burned their reputation." AWS and Google are starting from scratch with these companies, MS already has their foot in the door.
based on the historical (and exponential) rate of humanity's technological progress, I had once heard that we could reasonably expect humanity to be interstellar by about the year 3000.
Growth has only been exponential for the last 100 to 150 years. There are many indicators that exponential growth is already coming to an end. I would not assume that we can continue this type of growth indefinitely.
They want to build 'cloud' and charge you by the minute.
I have several friends at Microsoft who say the motto of the company is cloud cloud cloud. I've also spoken to people in the finance industry (e.g., big banks) who are
much more receptive to putting their products on Microsoft rather than Google or AWS. Microsoft has a good shot here to take the market. They'll need a solid handle on linux servers to do that.
If more people start dying, there will be strong pressure on the government to intervene with regulation. That will raise the cost of development, and slow the pace of industry.
Distribution lists are expanded on the server side. Your client's not going to explode if you send an email to all.users@nhs.uk (or whatever). The server, on the other hand...
Was a distribution list used here? If that was the case, the IT department could have just shut down the list and problem solved.
And don't forget that burning fossil fuels releases a whole lot of radiation into the air....
That may be true, but the fossil fuel industry does not pay for it, whereas the nuclear industry does. Until there is some sort of cap-and-trade program, nuclear will not be economically attractive.
legislators may crack down, which may be a good thing.
It isn't. By being foolishly aggressive in his sales tactics, Elon is putting the entire industry in jeopardy, potentially slowing down the development of this technology.
Well.. it is a pretty fair comparison to an aircraft's autopilot.
No, it isn't. Pilots don't need to have their hands on the wheel the entire time. Pilots don't need to be ready to take over in a moment's notice or face death. The reaction time is totally different. Plus, Tesla is using the term Autopilot as a public marketing tool, so the public's perception of the term autopilot is what matters, not what happens in a cockpit.
The biggest problem with Tesla is not their technology, but their communication. They call their system "Autopilot", but backpedal that statement in their legalese and fine print. They say their car is safer, but only acknowledge accidents after investigative reporters uncover them (the attached article is a perfect example). Further, they always shift as much blame on to the driver as possible, while giving as few details about the crash as possible. This is poor communication. Tesla should be transparent about how well they're doing. It's to their benefit, as many people (myself included) would be more open to trying out potentially unsafe technology if the risks are clearly explained and can be mitigated.
Back to the original point of the question, "Are Tesla Crashes Balanced Out By The Lives That They Save", Tesla could easily answer that question if they wanted to, they have the data. Unfortunately, due to their secretiveness and poor communication, they only share self-serving pieces of what they know, and no one gets the full picture. Based on the way Tesla has conducted itself, we have to assume that these vehicles are unsafe unless proven otherwise.

Growth has only been exponential for the last 100 to 150 years
What do you mean, growth is always exponential even a million years ago.
Not really. Pre-industrial revolution, it was largely linear.

In other, other words, how much profit in built into an iPhone anyway?
That metric really depends on how many child laborers you can fit into each factory.
Yes, and multiplied by the number of workers that commit suicide before receiving benefits.

How exactly will try differentiate between satire and fake news? The answer is if course that you cannot.
One is intentionally trying to deceive, the other isn't. Seems straightforward.
If more people start dying, there will be strong pressure on the government to intervene with regulation. That will raise the cost of development, and slow the pace of industry.

a true mobile-first, cloud-first development tool
There can be only one!
I'm curious what email client they use at the DHS. I feel like Gmail or Outlook would totally explode if you tried cc-ing 1.2M people.
legislators may crack down, which may be a good thing.
It isn't. By being foolishly aggressive in his sales tactics, Elon is putting the entire industry in jeopardy, potentially slowing down the development of this technology.
It would be hard to determine what it prevented when no one is reporting it.
Tesla certainly knows. The fact that they're not sharing it does not bode well.
Well.. it is a pretty fair comparison to an aircraft's autopilot.
