Actually, laws are kind of hidden behind paywalls! For most laws, I wouldn't trust my own judgement on their interpretation and would have to pay a lawyer.

Actually, why isn't there a Wikipedia-like open system for scientific publication? It doesn't seem to be too hard technically or operationally.

That would be false advertising, therefore illegal. I'm sure smaller sites get away with it.

I don't know the sites in question, but maybe the language?

I think that's close to what overleaf.com is doing for LaTeX.

It's a situation like parents: There should be an incentive for a company to build a closed, innovative system. But once that system converges on features, and they reaped their rewards, it should be replaced by an open standard. Insta

GDPR gives you this button. You can do a full data request. This was introduced for exactly this usecase, to make it possible to switch service providers. Now only Google needs to be able to read Apple's format.

Maybe there should be a law stating that cancelling a subscription needs to be as easy as sending a single email and then confirm for critical things.

I'm a cognitive scientist. Intelligence is such a badly defined concept, it's almost useless to reason about "intelligence". In humans, intelligence is often defined as "what is measured by an IQ test", which o

Fascinating. Stories like this really make me want to learn Chinese and/or move there for a while. The story highlights how they were able to benefit from US culture and education, to the point where they now took the lead. I wonder ho

The problem is that exploiting things is often illegal, so it's hard to do a lot of things. I think you could steal relatively small amounts of crypto without attracting too much attention. As for legal things: At the very least I woul

Does this mean that all those apps are coming/could come to Linux phones like the Pinephone and the Librem 5?

As a human researcher, I don't think that's a fair comparison. A 2.5-year-old human can talk in simple sentences. The experiments in that article don't really measure intelligence. Babies are just much more curious. I think d

Middlemen still do have benefits. They provide resiliency. If Amazon commits serious fraud and is shut down, there is no one left. We should not have privately owned systems that are too big to fail.

The beauty of matrix is the interoperability: you can actually talk to other users on other servers, like email. You can join large public groups, too.

Good stuff! Now we just need to get the cost down. I got email hosting for free with my domain, that's the price point I would like for Matrix, too.

I would suspect so, since matrix is not about message passing, but about state synchronization, which is more data-intensive.

Matrix is eating the world of messengers. I'm very bullish on the protocol. There hasn't yet been a lot of thought around the economic incentives of matrix, like who is supposed to run a Homeserver?

This is Twitter recognizing that their content creators have power, and wanting to keep them on the platform. Twitter has no interest in hosting only the free teaser content of someone's patron-only feed.

Consumers no longer own their devices. Companies decide which code runs on them, and of course they choose code that makes them money. There really is no reason to couple two functions (displaying images, selecting and playing content) in a

It's definitely super interesting and promising! It will take the users some time to unlearn text-based patterns and replace them with voice inputs. You will also learn a bunch on where and why voice is actually superior. I think that&

This is actually not wrong. China is already very important, and its influence is going to grow. Speaking and understanding Chinese well is a competitive advantage.

You probably have every right to show the content privately, so your event can not open to the public. I have no idea if rebroadcasting changes things, but if it's not illegal in principle, sharing it privately should not be a problem.

Do you have plans to integrate with matrix? Or are you only selling to teams for internal communication?
