Agreed. The problem(s) of scale are not only those of scaling up, but also scaling down. One of the best and most unsung benefits of solar is that it is profoundly easy and intuitive to build a very small (ie, vehicle- or house-sized) grid.

The good news is that the internet is, fundamentally and in a way that no legacy state can alter, not a place where IP is cognizable. You are free to copy bytes as you see fit, and the internet treats them identically whether they are rando

Great question. Is there a particular setlist which you think is notable and which has such an instance? I'd love to converse about how to properly parse it.

by jMyles 2y ago
Indeed this is an interesting edge case. Is there a real-world example of this to use as fodder for conversation? It'd be especially relevant if the material is widely covered by other bands, and is intermixed with traditional music.

We're working on a parser for our band's setlists, and we want it to be compatible (and eventually, to be able to cross-reference included songs with) setlists from Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Widespread Panic, Travelin'

1. I don't think that is necessarily so. We can look at the universe we're given for some obvious fundamental physical and mathematical laws. As sure as gravity, bytes can be copied. It's just part of the universe we live

Of course; I don't think anybody disputes that. But the political cover of "but think of the poor artists!" is used as a cudgel for situations where "we prefer to censor Bob!" is unpalatable.

Well, one rudimentary difference is that bytes can be (and seem wont to be) copied, whereas if you steal my jeans, I'm standing there in my underwear.
