Patents That Kill

My job isn't going to pay my family for 18 years after I die - why should yours just because you're a 'creative'?
Because creative work benefits the public infinitely (or less, depending on its quality). For e.g., people still listen to Mozart or Beethoven, or admire Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, centuries after their creators have expired. Therefore, it's only fair that consumer payment for these art works should trickle down to the heirs of the creator.
Perhaps your job is skill based and does not have creative output, like a mechanic or a doctor, in which case, you've been fully paid for services rendered and don't deserve extra payment. If a mechanic changes oil in a car, is there a lasting benefit to the consumer? No, the benefit only lasts a couple of months, after which the customer has to repay to change oil again.
Umm, harmless?? Not only does uber frustrate the gett drivers by scheduling a taxi and then cancelling, they also try to recruit the drivers away from their competitors. This is practically like vandalizing a competitor's service causing financial loss.
He opened only those patents related to charging. The intent behind this is not charity, rather he wants synergy with other electric car manufacturers.
Without standardization, you'll have a charger T for teslas, charger F for Fords, charger N for Nissans etc. This is not feasible for even a handful of electric car manufacturers.
Pluto's diameter is half the diameter of Mercury. Should we also consider Mercury a dwarf planet? Can the Earth be considered to be in the same league as Jupiter/Saturn as they have 10 times the diameter of Earth?
The NFL just feels like a monopoly because the fans are very very picky.
But why does every pro football player have to play ticket-selling (i.e. commercial) matches under the umbrella of the NFL?... that's pretty monopolistic. In other words, why should the NFL profit from every top-tier football player? Organizing matches is hard, but not as hard as being a good football player. If the govt. or whoever grants only one organization the power over organizing/distributing all football matches, naturally its prices are going to be sky high.
The player should have a choice of various organizations with different pay structures/benefits to choose from. Similarly, ticket buyers should have a choice of various leagues that have very, very good players. If league A is charging high ticket prices, the consumer can go to league B with cheaper tickets.
Whoever gave the NFL monopoly rights (resulting in price gouging tickets) over all football matches in the country is at fault. So the solution is to increase supply by allowing more associations to form alternative football organizations. This competition will likely reduce ticket prices everywhere even if their playing quality won't be as good as the NFL players.
But forcing the NFL to give their content away for free (i.e. abolishing the blackout rule) will mean fewer people will pay stadium prices and is unethical, unfair and communist.
The people who do scientific discovery -- scientists, don't get anything other than an award or something. Meanwhile, the corporations, employees, even consumers make ton of profit off their work.
Nope. He has to make an explicit effort to do that, unlike a mailman picking up mail just happening to read it.
Explicit? Really?? Their terms of use clearly state that they scan (and therefore read) emails. So they can legally read your email and do so frequently. Or did you think this email user was particularly singled out from tens of millions of users? This stuff happens to thousands of gmail users; this guy was particularly unlucky.
An active effort must be made for someone to read it. It's easy to just read a post card while picking it up.
Perhaps, but a postman's job is to process mail, not waste time reading somebody's postcard. So some active effort is expended here as well.
Yes. And then you have to get everyone else on board, or you're screwed.
Not necessarily true. If parties A and B have support for encryption system E, they can communicate securely. If they don't, they just have to use the regular, unencrypted email/postcard. So only a small population has to be on board.
Why are they surprised? They thought google scans their email to match ads to them. Surprise, surprise, that's just a ruse.
They will never reveal the true reasons why email is being scanned (violating constitutional rights, by the way), but we can assume it is to build a detailed profile/database of all its customers.
The fact that it's possible for anyone to read it does not make it a postcard.
Not everyone can't read a postcard once it enters the mailbox, just the postmen and postal employees processing mail in between them. For email, google is acting as the postman/mail processors and can therefore read everybody's postcard (aka email).
If we had an electronic envelope (using encryption) for messages, then google's spying capability would be greatly/slightly lowered. The encryption should be reliable and be provided by a third party, not google.
What stops me from doing the exact same thing, but on a computer!
If you don't own the CD you're ripping, it's obviously illegal. I think a personal copy should be allowed as backup since music CDs do get lost or damaged. Some countries allow a backup (provided you own the CD you are ripping), others don't.
USA:
U.S. copyright law generally says that making a copy of an original work, if conducted without the consent of the copyright owner, is infringement. The law makes no explicit grant or denial of a right to make a "personal use" copy of another's copyrighted content on one's own digital media and devices.
Europe:
A directive of the European Union allows its member nations to instate in their legal framework a private copy exception to the authors and editors rights.... In all but a few of these countries, the levy is excised on all the machines and blank materials capable of copying copyrighted works.
I pretty much only buy my music on CD's. I refuse to pay money for lossy copies of music. If I'm going to spend my hard earned money on it I want the real, all the sonic bits there, deal
LOL, CDs are lossy too because they have a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. In fact anything digital is lossy because it has a finite (lossy) sampling rate. You should buy vinyl for lossless.
This is totally a trolling lawsuit. I mean, just look at their website.
You're very wrong. Any of these car owners can now borrow audio CDs from friends or their local library and store a copy of the songs they like in their cars -- easy theft and copyright infringement.
Strong/weak is related to checking the type of variable passed as a parameter vs. the formal type of function parameter. For example, old C compilers had weak typing since they had no function prototype requirement, so you could pass a "char *" variable where a function wanted to work with an "int" type variable. Pascal compilers, on the other hand, had very strict typing where you couldn't pass an Integer variable where the function parameter type was Percent (subrange 0..100).
Static languages require the variable passed to functions be checked against the function parameter type at compile time whereas dynamic languages don't do the type checking at compile time; they do it at run time when the function parameter is used.

$23k/core pricing is stupid greedy. Cores are not getting much faster and therefore chip companies are adding more cores to increase performance. Oracle DB pricing should be constant per socket regardless of the number of cores and whether the CPU is implemented as a multichip module or single chip.
For a AMD/Intel multi-core Linux boxes -------- it can be a single quad-core CPU box (4x0.5=2 sockets -- but, paying twice the processor license - because it is now 2 sockets) or it can be a 2 dual-core CPU (2X2x0.5=2 sockets -- but, paying twice the processor license) or it can be a single dual-core CPU box (2x0.5=1 -- paying only a single processor license)
When you standardize the language and the library. It should compile and function the same under either compiler otherwise they are not implementing the standard correctly or the standard itself is flawed/buggy.

But they are domain specific declarative programming languages. Not all programming languages are imperative or functional.
It's a loss because what you could watch on free OTA TV would now be available only on cable.

How will you know what the code you wrote does without understanding how it's interpreted by the compiler/interpreter?

Less effort is required by some admin at google. He just has to type:
or a similar command to open your jellomizer@gmail.com account
You're underestimating the number of customers who want secure email. I would guesstimate at least 30% would easily sign up for such a service.
Perhaps, but a postman's job is to process mail, not waste time reading somebody's postcard. So some active effort is expended here as well.
