When a new technology comes along no one knows what ideas are good and what ideas are bad, so people try a bunch of things and most of them aren't very useful and the few that are become standardized. In the case of UX stuff like visua

Most programmers are already doing a form of vibe coding when they, for example, let an ORM write their database queries for them. I think a decent number of Rails and Django devs probably would struggle to write raw SQL queries from scratc

I'm not sure if this is the case for the screenplay, but for the actual play the playwright (who also wrote the screenplay) rewrote the ending at least 6 times over 20 years and multiple productions. The version of the play I read is s

The author owns the copyright unless they transfer it. His transference of those rights shows that he was motivated by profit.

Well he chose not to make those wishes known in his will apparently, or in any of the contracts which assigned his IP to others.

If he sold his rights then it's not really against his wishes anymore.

This is very common among people who sell their companies. AJ Wasserstein[0] at Yale's school of management has written a few things about it. He built up and sold a (non-tech) business for a substantial amount of money, so he's n

My understanding is that what counts as fair use is not well defined because litigation is expensive and publishers don't want to take a gamble, go to court, and potentially lose or have large legal fees to deal with.

We know how already: exogenous testosterone (or other, more anabolic hormones), but that has downsides like left-ventricular hypertrophy, masculinization in women, and (usually reversible) infertility.

Mickey Mouse is in the public domain now (the original one at least), but I agree with your argument.

That's how it was originally but over time the terms have been extended (largely due to advocacy from organizations that own large catalogs of copyrighted material). It's now tied to the life of the creator rather than the time si

I think this is the correct thing to do as far as copyright law goes, but it seems to me that copyright terms are far too long to fulfill their original purpose: incentivize the distribution of creative works. Originally copyright was for r

About 10 years ago I implemented cookie based sessions for a project I was working on. I had a terrible time debugging why auth was working in Safari but not Chrome (or vice-versa, can't remember). Turned out that one of the browsers j

Really impressive. He has several other similar projects on his site as well.

I made something like this and briefly had it online but I didn't think there would be enough demand to make the time and costs of running it worth it.

There weren't good CAD tools to send the designs to the machine until recently. Early CAD tools mostly produced drawings and it was a separate step to manufacture from there. The way inkjet and laser printers work is also quite differe

No, they aren't giving up booking. They are extending booking to a third party. To solve the problem with race conditions (You book the last seat on the airline, I book the last hotel room, and neither one of us can finish the transact

In theory that patent is not valid since it is based on something that was already published, but I agree that in practice some companies will pay to avoid going to court.

If you want long-term thinking then people have to be able to buy into stories about what's going to happen long-term. When Musk does that, you call it a lie. The benefit of financialization is that it provides cheaper access to capita

IIRC the patent court and tax court are the only two that non-lawyers can practice at in the US.

The US is actually permissive relative to other countries. In most countries if you disclose your invention before filing you lose the right to patent it.

In theory you can't patent something that has already been described prior to the filing date. In practice I'm sure there's been things that've been patented that someone else independently invented beforehand. It's

You can't really do it perfectly unless a single site handles all the booking, otherwise you have race conditions, and obviously there's no incentive for airlines, hotels, etc. to give up booking to a third party since they can up
