No longer strangling their own economy would be a good start. Take a look at the magnificance that was the ESRS. A 300 A4 pages long list of yearly reporting duties. And the best thing is: Just because they're no longer nicely summariz

If it were not for copyright and copyleft software licenses there would be no open source software of any significance. All these projects only took off because people were forced to contribute back. Want an example? Look at the state of op

Sure, but I highly doubt that there would be many people involved. And those who are, are probably quite interested in keeping it that way and not at all in becoming whistleblowers themselves. You wouldn't want to decide what's wo

I love how almost everyone in here seems to confuse the DMCA with copyright itself and that there seems to be such a wide spread opinion that copyright does more harm than good. As if an online community of mostly software developers had ne

IMO it's a very questionable solution anyway. Either you have to constantly replenish this dust, causing huge economic costs, or you have to engineer it in a way that keeps the dust airborne for long times, likely causing all kinds of

There are two entirely different issues: 1. Is the law aligned with moral and ethical expectations? Probably not. 2. Is the process reliable? At least since the Derek Chauvin trials, I'm having doubts, but it doesn't seem it had f

Oh god, don't give them ideas. All ML is in-cloud AI now. I dread the day everything around my mouse movements needs to get tokenized and vibed into the ClosedAI cloud before my buttons start working again.

I still wonder why every open-source visual programming language is either a toy for teaching or straight up awful, often not implementing but even loops, when LabVIEW has been doing it right for decades. Despite its huge size and it instal

You're assuming the telecom operator of the SIM farm doesn't know his customers. That'll change very quickly after the first few have to cover the fines themselves. After that that scam would result in the scammer paying the

The solution is accessible law, not better anti-fraud tooling. Introduce a spam / fraud button, using it requires your pin and costs $10, but obliges your telecom provider to record the call (preferably including a few minutes before y

Interesting, never heard anyone calling some place a Tier 1.5 city. Is this a recent development as "almost official" as the Tiers itself, something obvious I just never picked up on or people taking pride in their Tier 2s doing r

$5 is probably too much, tho. I'd be looking more at the $.2 to $1 range. Maybe a 3 to 4 tier inbox. Known and trusted user being able to contact you without paying, a high value inbox for the $1+ range, a low value inbox for the $.2 r

Isn't Shanghai a Tier 1 city? IMO it's not very representative of the whole country. It's also not like China is an overachieving outlier, but western nations actively having been sabotaged by its leadership at least since 19
