A company is still free to explicitly give those rights to the public domain
Why don't you look that up and see what lawyers say before you state it as fact?
Stated it as a fact without a "some people believe" or other weasely caveat makes it into a straight lie.
The very comment you replied to informed correctly that the Berne Convention says you gain copyright when you create the work. That is not in dispute.
And which law says you can place a work into the public domain? There isn't one. There isn't one, so according to the Berne Convention, there the copyright sits with the creator of the work, even after they said words that included "public domain."
There simply is no legal mechanism to place works into the public domain. It is not a real thing.
Awwww, you dropped your freeze peach! How sad! Now pick it up and quit fucking whining. Nobody stole your freeze peach. As for your free speech, it was right there in your mouth the whole time, and you were probably blathering something the whole time too.
With the industrialized versions of things like hotels and taxis and the like, the companies are subject to oversight and regulation that eliminates the fringes of society from causing problems. The sharing economy skirts those regulations and allows individuals to become competitive with the big companies in those areas, but with no oversight the people in the weird fringes of society become front and center.
Isn't that why taxis and hotels existed in the first place, though? What is the new part?
You're simply wrong. When the government talks about reprogramming machines, it does include updating the settings. Don't confuse yourself with arguments about what you believe words are required to mean. Sometimes you have to learn that words mean different things in different situations.
And literally, when you clear a code, you're reprogramming the EEPROM values or something equivalent.
Regarding diagnostic tools, no, you're totally banned from having the tools currently, by manufacturer decree. There is no aftermarket.
The main thing this proposal does is to prevent the manufacturer from interfering with the aftermarket. (which would quickly appear, because these tractors are big business)
Nobody is trying to change the Constitution. Instead, States are passing laws that say that once enough States pass the same law so that it adds up to enough electoral votes to win the election, then the law goes into effect and those States agree to assign all their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote.
Simple, easy, no Amendment needed. This is coming. Probably not this cycle. But it is coming.
In my State everybody has pole attachment rights. If I buy a house in the mountains, and I want to run a private fiber run, it costs something like $30k/mile. But none of that is for attachment rights, it is only to have the work done by a licensed contractor.
Don't let companies own the poles. That is as stupid as letting companies own streets.
Shitting rainbows is fun. Nobody is going to pass up an opportunity to shit rainbows. Not even to save the world, or "restore" net neutrality or something something.
As much as I admit there is a little shadenfreude in huge companies fighting like this... pretty sure at the end of the day it's the consumers who will get screwed on this one.
Either they'll have to pay extra to cover licensing fees, court fees, or both.
If the customers are willing to pay more, you're merely describing a corrected pricing mistake.
Those things are all features that Windows users intentionally choose.
It doesn't excuse Huawei backdooring them without their permission. And it doesn't excuse "Long-time Slashdot reader shanen" for defending the practice with a bunch of weak propaganda.
Their software is dangerous, their hardware is even more dangerous. I don't run Windows, but I sure as hell don't want their hardware or software on networks that my data has to traverse.
Whenever somebody says "let that sink in" in person, and I glare at them thinking about what a weasel they are. For a few really long moments. While making a disgruntled, "Hmmmmmm" sound. Then I make a horrified face, shake my head, and mutter, "Nah."
If they tell me that I am surprised to learn something, I turn my head and refuse to show interest until they stop talking. Then I show interest, as in, I'm wondering if now they're going to something on a different topic, or if they're still blathering.
My apologies to actual weasels. Last week I was in park and saw a Long-Tailed Weasel successfully hunt a squirrel. It was a really special moment that I will always cherish. 3 3 real-weasels.
What I do think it true is that if you don't keep a focus on learning, on creating new connections, that like the rest of your body the brain can start to become rigid and inflexible and maybe truly loses the ability to create new neurons.
That's like claiming that if your muscles atrophy, maybe they won't grow back.
If you don't spend time learning things, continually, you just turn into an idiot. You don't get any excuse, like your brain can't learn anymore; being that sort of idiot remains a continual choice.
If the brain is no longer "pliable" in that way, it merely means the subject is literally brain-dead and it is time for their family to make some hard decisions.
Instead of phrasing your comment as a gotcha that you think proves your point, you should learn to recognize that it is an exception that proves that the other person is correct in the normal case. Because once you realize that, you realize that your statement would have the same meaning if you merely said, "Yeah, that's true, it is pretty much only a few subways and toy trains that are automated."
I'm not confused; your response is not responsive to what you responded to. If you insist you're also not confused, then it is quite simple: you're trolling. ByeeeeeEEEEEE.
It isn't frustrating, it is just that you attempted to talk to me and add to my conversation, and failed.

That's a physical, hardware interface. This story is about purely software interfaces.

They have patents and aggressive lawyers, you probably can't build a competing tractor for a long time.
due to emissions regulations. Those regulations effectively require that to be the case.
Bullshit spill in the produce section

She's already committed to only accepting individual donations. Don't be a mean dunce.

I think this is a pulse power amplifier after the resonator circuit, driven at 2x frequency.
So fairly different, though both do use an inductor.
If that is your goal, on youtube you can find Naomi Wu doing a review of a "prison cell phone."
Better range than BLE.
I already have coin cells that power ble for a shorter period, so why is this so surprising?
The power levels they mention make the claims realistic using fairly standard coin cells.
Setting bold goals and staying on schedule.
So I guess, they sacrifice safety.
Highly unlikely. They should maintain their nominal voltage for well over 10 years unused. This shit is real.
However horrifying.

Good thing screenshots are impossible
That screenshot is just deepfake news, I never said that. My best friend is a green alien women, I would never say anything that insensitive.

Scotland was joined by consent through royal marriage.
If you convinced the British people that it was otherwise, you'd have convinced them that the UK never existed and was an English colony.
You won't find a lot of support for that view outside of London; and you won't find government support for it even there.
Look up "the exception that proves the rule."
