I wasn’t browbeating. I was curious about your moral justification, and you’ve made that clear. You feel that anyone who publishes using DRM (whether they have any idea or not, or any choice or not) doesn’t deserve to be compensated for you

Eliminating waste is a great idea. But it’s unclear that that’s all he’s doing, it’s unclear how or how well it’s being done, he’s brought in people without security review (which means they, and the systems they are opening up and creating

What's your evidence for that ratio?

Are you sure it doesn’t make sense to you? There’s nothing a company owner could do that would make you feel icky giving your money to them? Think about your values and then imagine a CEO who stands against them publicly, and works to under

That appears to justify jail breaking or drm-free books, not screwing authors out of any kind of compensation for their labour.

Yes, interesting case. I'd say the difference is that those theatres are agreeing to those terms. With books, I think it's fair to read chapter or two in a bookshop and decide if you want more. But if you read the whole book, you

Genuinely, what is your motivation here? People often justify piracy in terms of their opposition to DRM, but here someone is showing you how to get DRM-free books, and your response is "But over here they are free." They clearly

Do you like being paid for your work? Why deprive others of the fun of getting it for free?

A wild, unsupported claim. And even if any particular author doesn’t make a full living out of writing, that doesn’t mean you’re hurting them by not paying.

Libraries are great! And authors get paid for that too. Win-win.

You’re describing something different, which is just paying later. I was objecting to someone proposing reading books and then paying only if they thought it was good. That’s the part that isn’t commerce, because one side is making use of a

Your solution hurts authors more than Amazon. Just buy ebooks from somewhere else! Don’t be cheap and pretend it’s principled. I know you say buy a copy if you enjoyed it but that’s not really how commerce works and none of these authors ag

Start with asking yourself why you are agreeing to the projects. Is it that you want to do them, or are you being pressured? If it’s you, then it’s about clarity. If it’s them, then it’s also about clarity. You need to make your workload cl

Shopify President Harley Finkelstein told CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” Tuesday that the website’s owners “had an entire day” to prove they weren’t violating the company’s policies, “which did not happen.” ... “The moment we realized this

Very cool! Can you share more about how you built it? I’ve seen a lot of skepticism about AI in scraping but this seems to work well.

Not my area but I think it might just be “system”.

The name for our solar system is “Solar System”, after our sun, Sol.

It’s not based on tourism, it’s based on services, which includes tourism but isn’t dominated by it. But regardless, it’s exactly because it’s hard to define relevance that I was challenging the original comment, which said, without explain

Do you define relevance in terms of manufacturing?

by tene80i 2y ago
The U.K. is the sixth largest economy in the world. It’s hardly irrelevant, unless the only relevant countries are the USA and China.

One person’s unverified claim is enough to prompt you to write what you wrote? Feels a bit like you might just be bringing some assumptions of your own doesn’t it.

The United States will feel the pain immediately because Trump has increased the price of imports. The question is whether there is anything gained.

What do you find deranged and misleading about it?

Do these smart people you speak of think things that are different are entirely unrelated?

I don’t know why this comment is being downvoted. The website is indeed extremely embarrassing to anyone who thinks government is a serious business.

What’s your reference for the EU forcing this on businesses? The link you provided is only about Belgium.

I don’t read it much at all so I haven’t noticed this, but if it’s as you say then that’s a great shame.

Care to back up that extraordinary claim?

The point is clearly that you are causing other serious harms by doing so, unlike with the heroin example. You can’t tear kids away from a huge part of their social lives without serious consequences. Coordinated action means it’s not a cho
