If the plaintiffs are smart, they'll use Sony themselves calling digital licenses "owned" items, to say that Sony understood that licenses should be treated as other owned objects -which would naturally entail the non-revocab

My eyes glazed over when I saw "recursively", and I had to re-read the last couple paragraphs again to grok it, and it's very cool.

You've never been on a bus where the driver had to stop to go use the restroom? There is no prohibition against that.

I think you're putting words in my mouth. I believe that 2 programs that execute the same are of equal value, no matter the intentions of the person writing the code (or lack thereof). If you read the article, you'd probably know

You think handcrafted furniture is more readily accessible to the average person now than say 30 years ago? When people are struggling to buy gas, nevermind homes? And I asked Claude (Fable 5), and they said you're wrong. I'd past

Worse, I'm someone who's been reviewing code for a long time. And it's not much different now than it was before.

"Over the years it has been clear that we in the “open source” camp (as opposed to the “free software” camp) were wrong all along. We won the debate, and gained little for users or developers. All that our efforts did was to make it ea

I think they needn't be so subtle in that case. If the take away is supposed to be only other people can set meaningful metrics for you, then their wrestling history had nothing to do with said lesson, because the author offers no ev

I get the intention, but this is still ultimately turning it into a sort of, "only progress towards a fixed goal matters, and progress requires metrics, ergo only things that require metrics matter" view of life. Sometimes the pro

By "human value", do you actually mean "monetary value"? Many of the most famous artists were unknown or unappreciated in their time, and if they'd asked the people around them whether their art had value we'

This is very cool. Definitely seems like either an early or one-time, targeted attack by someone with good know-how and significant resources, even if it itself is not top-tier. Pretty cool find!

As an American, it's incredibly sad to watch literally every aspect of life be subsumed by Capitalism. No knowledge for knowledge's sake, you've got to generate PROFIT , or it's a waste of time!
