They probably wanted to get rid of you. So instead of firing you, they imposed stupid rules to makes you leave on your own.

Looks like UiUa: uiua.org

Not exactly like this, but I think most people think on some level that their job is one of (if not The) most essential of the company.

CEO, CTO, Sales, Devs, managers, Product owners, QA, data scientist, factory workers… each one is essential and most don’t realise how important the others are.

Well godd news then, you can start to enjoy music about religion, cause I feel like every other popular song is about that, and I am just as annoyed as you, be careful though there are overlap betweem the two. 😄

I love the idea that we could need a dedicated chip to parse web pages 😂

that is only a subset of turing machines

What game was it playing ?

Why would they ? I was that kid and I still upvoted his comment, I don’t use downvote as a disagree/punish button, I only use it for agressive/uninteresting comment. I think we should upvote any comment that create interesting discussion, even if we disagree with the core message.

Wrong, I was that kid and I hate denuvo just like everybody else.

Also I don’t think it works as an analogy, the kid reminding the teacher about homework does it because he likes school, and learning, he does it for himself and everybody else, he never imagine other kids would not like it. This guy doesn’t do this for himself or others, he does this out of spite of others, to punish people, he doesn’t gain anything.

Thank god we don’t have to deal with costumers, imagine what outfit you’d have to wear to deal with them. And to make it work you’d probably have to wear make up too, it’d feel like halloween everyday.

it didn’t break anything “so far”

Change your perception of the task, instead of it being a ‘thing that you will be happy to have done’ look at it as a ‘thing that are happy doing’,

for example instead of ‘I will be happy to have learned to play the piano so I should force myself to practice’ think ‘I am happy while practicing the piano’ instead of ‘I have to do the dishes’ think ‘I am cleaning these dishes with perfection, and optimising their placement so that they will dry the quickest’

Basically, don’t do things for the end goal, do it for the action itself, live in the present, not in the future. There’s always enjoyment to get from any chore if you approach it from this mindset.

My partner look at me funny when I put my shirts to dry in ascending color order, and my socks all parrallel, but the truth is, I’m having fun doing it that way, the chore has become a meticulous game that I take pleasure from.

Thanks now I can visualize how that would work, it’s actually pretty cool. And the reasons is good, i can see myself doing tourism in a place like that for this reason.

There was a project that I believe would have (will?) solve this problem of the platform, it is callede maidsafe. Basically the idea is that the users are always in control of their data and the services can only access it when the users want to use it. It worked by decoupling data and services and users own and control all the data they produce, meaning they can always take them elsewhere.

It also take remuneration of service/content provider into account, and all data is safely encrypted.

It’s been more than 10years and the project still hasn’t been released, I doubt it’s ever going to come out, but the idea was really cool.

I rember I built a small website on the system when it was in early stage, and an interface for git, it was really cool to use. Anyway…

You would think so but what seems to happen with open source is: for every person with evil intent that sees the flaw and exploit it there is more persons with good intent that sees it and report/fix it.

During that time, closed source have the opposite balance, less people can fix flaws, but the same amount of evil people than open source finds them and exploit them.

Is it not what is already happening with our current system ? The little guy never have the ressources to fight legal battle against the big guy and enforce it’s “intellectual property”.

And the opposite would be true in a world without patent, small businesses could win because they would be free to reuse and adapt big businesses’ ideas.

It feels very simplistic to reduce patents to “protection of the little business”, in our current world they mostly protect the big ones.

Also this small example doesn’t elaborate about how removing copyrights would so negatively affects our society

I see and understand your point regarding trademark, but I don’t understand how removing copyright or patents would have this effect, could you elaborate ?

That’s still very fast

You are forgetting the time it takes to copy the data to and from these cards. Data may be transported, but it is not usable until you copy it. Copying 20 TiB is probaply going to take some time

Why do people keep upvoting musk news ? This guy is cancer, I’m annoyed by all these post about him, am I the only one ?
