Good lawyers "hack" the law all the time. They find novel uses and interpretations for things that exist. The hack here isn't some absolute negation of all copyright claims, but now that all (intraoctave) melodies definitiv

I think you mean "at what point in the future does your DNA get weaponized against everyone you're related to ?" I have not done these services because while I would be comfortable accepting the consequences in my remaining

If you find something you love doing and can do it in the way you want, 80 hours isn't bad at all if you're otherwise unencumbered. I did a 7 month stretch where I was working from home, on my own schedule, doing what I loved, and

I recently joined Google and have a general purpose Apache-licensed Java library which I submitted and was rejected for overlap. This seemed fair since they also have similar projects (e.g. Guava) even though I don't work on them (or e

You can block trackers pretty easily, or just not visit those websites. You'll probably be a happier person if you just don't visit foo.com than spending any portion of your brief time on Earth trying to trick an ML model into th

If you don't like Facebook/Google/etc., wouldn't you be better off just not using them rather than spending time trying to hurt them? How will data vandalism make your life better?

Seems cool, and perhaps I'm missing something, but it appears to require a closed-source app from a walled-garden app store to configure it, so it could easily be made useless if the app disappears?

These big companies optimize to reduce false positives during hiring, and I can say with 99% confidence across engineering that they are, they can, and they are not. I've yet to meet a jerk here after almost 2 years.

Without clocks I will naturally go to bed between 5a and 7a and wake between 1 and 3p. I've had a "normal" schedule for most of my life, and have gone long stretches (months) where I was in bed every night by 10p. It doesn&

Active usecases (games, design, meetings) will tend towards VR and passive usecases (news, info overlay, prompts) will tend towards AR. There's plenty of money to be made in both of those.

Bias is ever-present. Even a listing of "facts" is biased by what's included in the list, what order it's displayed in, what features are listed, etc. If you read/watch all of these types of pieces as opinion, you

An increasing number of decision makers will have family and friends that work there, which is a difficult bias to ignore even when acknowledged.

Reading to a baby seems much easier to me than trying to converse with one, especially before they're even trying to talk. The 1000 by 5 program seems very ... unambitious, that isn't even one book a day. We've read at least

For glue/app/ux code that's mostly autocompleted, sure. But for domain-specific, algorithmic, magic-formula type stuff, comments are sanity made manifest.

95% of the value to me of self-driving cars is being able to sleep/nap on the way, so I'd agree with you that a slower trip is generally going to be more tolerable.

Generally speaking, no. She learned very quickly how it works and knows that when the collar is on, she shouldn't bark (more than once). She only wears the collars in situations where barking is not helpful. She is free to bark at i

My dog has a anti-barking collar that will beep on one bark, then do a small zap on subsequent barks. After 30 seconds, it resets. She quickly learned (half border collie) that she can bark once with no ill effects. She then learned that
