I wonder how much of this has to do with the speed of a connection and how much has to do with Jitter? Especially on wifi, Jitter can become a huge barrier to overcome, even if the speed of your connection is extremely high.

Isn’t that what’s been attempted for years unsuccessfully? From my limited understanding ChessBase has been warned and informed they’re breaking the license for years.

This doesn't successfully pull the article, just the introduction by a different author than the one attributed.

I'm disappointed that the highest upvoted comment on a long and thoughtful read is a critique of its introduction by a different author. The quoted text requires you to even click to read more of the introduction. It's not the s

I'm assuming in this 20 -> 5 transition that would be 5 years after the patent is granted rather than the current 20 years after filing? Part of the issue is that a patent can take 5+ years form filing to grant, and frequently take

Yeah. Two potential options to fix sitting on unused patents are to increase annuity fees until they hurt, or to enact a compulsory licensing scheme. I'm pretty ambivalent either way. I do think that compulsory licensing schemes are

The Copyright Act of 1790, just a few years after the constitution was signed, enabled a 28 year copyright grant (14 years with a 14 year extension.) So unless you think the copyright laws haven't been legal since their inception, you

This is how it works. The prices are different in different countries. Most countries have renewals due every year. Many countries have increasing costs each year, and costs vary between tens of dollars and thousands of dollars. Costs a

It would help the transformativeness, but it would substantially change the effect upon the market. By creating competing products with the copyrighted material, there is a higher degree of transformative, but you also end up disrupting th

But Copilot won't accurately tell you if it's directly copying code, and if so what the license is. If it provides MIT licensed code that I then need to include, how do I know that? Do I need to search for each set of lines of c

> Not that it isn't a tragedy, but in 2020, 44 trans people were killed[1] in the US. This is a rounding error even when looking at "merely" just hate crime statistics I'm confused. How can you compare 44 deaths to 7

I cannot imagine a colleague writing the following and not being fired, and effectively outcast from most employers in my industry, especially when it’s happening at industry events: > I was terrible to women. > I preyed on them. I ce

Unless you're talking about self publishing, most authors don't get a strong say in how the book looks. That's up to the publishers. And it's my understanding that publishers really do believe those pull quotes really

One of the most substantial, frequent mistakes I see from junior developers is writing off the skills of their colleagues because of perceived gaps in knowledge.

To me this is a far more serious and concerning issue. As a woman, I’m always skeptical of institutions like YC, and I take these kinds of comments very seriously. It’s really sad for me, to be honest. I used to really aspire to VC. But

Honest question, since I’ve seen the situation come up before: Would you be willing to modify the title of any post to be ‘accurate’ based on non-public information, without making that information public? If so, how does one make that requ

To be clear, it's not like there were never steam machines for sale, but manufacturers stopped making them. Here, you can see five for sale in 2016. https://web.archive.org/web/20160225105722/https:/&#x2F

This is actually a category of moves on sites like Chess.com. They categorize moves into things like blunder, mistake, inaccuracy, good, best. But the top move is 'Brilliant' and the second best is 'Best Move.' Best mov
