I disagree. It's a overly wordy and imprecise read for the kind of person who is the target audience (which is what "technical" means here). Further, this sort of translation only works on this particular snippet because it&#

At a guess, not the target audience combined with a failure to recognize it as a technical document. The latter is completely understandable. NIST uses words that can be found in daily business use, but they take on technical meanings.

It's my understanding that in most cases, the many restaurants/stores aren't actually separate and in meaningful competition with one another. I have often seen airports with the same packaged food for sale at every store. I&

I cannot imagine that the legal systems in question would consider setting a consent setting in your browser, once, to be explicit positive and informed opt-in.

Tractors are durable goods. They are not replaced often. Becoming the Kirkland brand of tractors means taking a major hit to sales for years in the hopes that it comes back to you in decades. It means betting the entire tractor business on

Given how small the sales of a typical book are, there's a strong argument to be made that "if authors were never paid" is a fair description of current reality.

Given the tight association between income and race, I think it would almost inevitably look exactly like a clear racial preference of the sort that's illegal under common anti-discrimination language. This is the kind of thing that la

If you find a way to set that up that doesn't run flagrantly afoul of anti-discrimination laws, I think a lot of people would be very interested.

"Big tech" internships are almost always paid, so the good news here is that they're well ahead of you. With that said, the answer of hire lower-income candidates isn't particularly actionable if I'm a manager bring

How do you even begin to calculate damages in a context like this one?

PG&E is an excellent example of grid failure through regulatory failure. California has made a mess of electrical regulation over the decades, and today you have to suffer through the result.

Standardization isn't really the issue described here. One of the issues is the manufacturing capacity for producing standardized parts is limited. The manufacturers are not interested in investing in the costly expansion of capacity r

A lot of people, including this article, blame flickering on bulbs. Usually because introducing an LED bulb is what shows the issue. That the underlying issue might be the fixture, or in the older electrical system, is not always an intuiti

More to the point, tax reform is generally not an option central banks are permitted to choose.

The Emergency Library is relevant because it's the matter currently in court where the publishers have an excellent chance to prove exactly how much this is hurting them. What I was implying is that they can't prove any such thing

If it's that large a problem, they should have no difficulty at all showing that the Emergency Library did them major financial harm. Right?

Something can be both a consequence and a cause. That's how feedback loops work, and inflation is distinctly prone to feedback loops. Insisting that something is a consequence and therefore not a cause smells like politics being placed

You have to bear in mind that usury prohibitions quickly became entangled with power structures. Owing money to powerful people is a problem for noble or royal debtors. Owing money to people you can exile or murder as you see fit is conveni

I suspect it's more often "We haven't checked yet, and Legal prefers we be cautious until they have time" rather than actively thinking it's something some might consider sketchy.

Why don't you say what you want? You don't want compassion. Compassion is an internal emotional experience. I am having compassion right now for the hypothetical hordes of unemployed former commercial artists as I consign them to

Once upon a time, when thread and cloth was all made by hand, the equivalent of a t-shirt cost the equivalent of $5000 in labor alone. Today we consider that absurd. The spinners, fullers, and weavers of the time considered it their livelih

It's been dubious in fiction and music for a long time as well. At a remove, this feels less like a major shift and more like a collective agony as a dream that felt within reach recedes into the distance.

What is your goal here? What outcome do you want to achieve? It sounds like your primary goal is financial, with rights being a means to an end. Is that accurate?

OK. Let's assume legal protections are put in place tomorrow and today's living artists magically (because it skips all the details of "How do you make that work?") acquire all the rights and enforcement abilities they c

The key question is always a painfully simple one: how much are people willing to pay as a privacy-first premium? The answers to this determine everything. Treating privacy-first as the moral and ethical default we should expect everyone to

The issue is precision in terminology and resulting understanding. At-least-once delivery with idempotency imposes certain rules on the processing of messages. As you say, every distributed systems engineer knows this. When you call somethi
