I obviously don't know where you live, but it sounds crazy to people in the US because in most of the US public transportation an bicycle infrastructure is not where it needs to be to make them viable for daily life. In places where pu

Yep. Frankly the whole article felt like watching a little kid put on adult pants and try to convince the adults to take them seriously.

Honestly I think stories going with this angle are trying to rationalize the price tumble in some way which makes it less scary than the reality which is crypto valuations aren't tied to anything rational.

What? That's like saying robbers are doing you a favor because if they could come in and take your belongings they could also burn your house down or murder you. Criminals are criminals.

Radiohead only gave up a tiny percentage of their rights on "Creep", so yeah they can still make claims on it.

People are pretty flexible in what they’ll accept in a melody. You can play a lot with outside notes and weird rhythms if you have a good performance and as long as you bring it back to diatonic notes.

This is not true. There is nothing rigid about music. You can do whatever you want. Unless you care about being popular. Then what you run up against is what people enjoy.

Chord progressions aren’t copyright-able. So no, that obvious thing isn’t. What is subject to copyright is the melody. That’s what they got the claim on. The vocal melody.

That sounds reasonable but how do you define “any form of creativity/expression” legally? That’s the problem. If you know anything about writing music you should know why chord progressions can’t be copyrighted. There’s only 12 notes,

Do you think maybe part of the fiscal restraint comes from them not having much money? In the US people frequent chains that cost much more than cheaper options because it’s still affordable food for their income level. More expensive resta

Man people love to rewrite history. I ran Vista. It was ok. But the constant asking for permission dialogs, while a security improvement, annoyed most users a lot. They were introduced suddenly without fully explaining why they were necessa

Everything has trade offs. I've mostly worked remote for the last ~15 years (last job was partially remote, this one is all remote except one meeting a sprint typically.) This article does a pretty good job bringing up the issues I cam

She's not a good interviewer. Her success has nothing to do with any kind of interviewing skill, it has to do with choosing hot button issues and topics that her audience find compelling. That's it. That's why there's so

When you get a result like that you should question the measuring tool. IQ tests are horseshit.

The fact that literally nobody else is famous for doing something so breathtakingly stupid tells us that basically everybody else is not as stupid as this guy.

Yeah, I do see the difference; the second sentence is spelling out plainly the bigotry he's trying to cloak in faux intellectualism. It's always the same kind of crap from bigots. "Women MIGHT be less capable of engineering.&

We're not debating what you think, we're debating what he said, and he included abilities in there. He said what they claim he said, but people always appear to try to claim he didn't.

They already announced that the new Mac Pro is a ground up redesign and with serviceability in mind. So you don’t have to suspect anything.

Dude I don’t doubt they care about this issue. My point is I’m not gonna read 168(!) pages of posts about it. Post a single article summarizing the issue or something.

So you think we should read 10 years of babbling by cranks who don’t like LED backlights on a support forum?

Nope, as far as I can see there is no reason for this to get posted. Seems almost like OP is trolling for karma because it has a controversial title and links to Apple.com.

First off, having dedicated hardware doesn't make these a non-issue, it just makes them less of an issue. If you have dedicated hardware they are concerns. Applications still need to be isolated from each other, and it's a path fo

Ok, 4:3 displays. You get my point, more square displays than 16:9.

I learned to code in the era of 3:2 displays, and I don't miss them. I never code using the full width of my display. If your lines are that long you have issues. I also don't really need any more vertical space. On my 15" la

Some of his videos are better than others. But his videos are as slanted towards his view as anything else. What facts you present and how you present them is both a conscious and unconscious result of your own worldview (some things you wi

It's cool how people think CGP Grey is a scholar on so many topics just because he sounds calm and confident when he talks. It's like a stick figure hypno toad.
