Setting aside the strict definition of IP, this does satisfy the philosophical motivation of IP, which is to protect people making significant capital investments. This is not too …

This may surprise extreme altruists but there are people who genuinely care about profit motives and are only willing to make the world a better place at a price. I don't see softw…

Would love to learn more! What did you work on (even vertical: chemistry, medicine, materials, physics, cosmology, etc.), notable stories?

Hi HN! I'm giving an invited talk at APS March Meeting next week about the importance of software for progressing science. I have deep personal experiences, but I'd love to hear fr…

I'm not an expert, but I thought fan art that people try to monetize in some form is explicitly illegal unless it's protected by parody, and any non commercial "violations" of copy…

The problem isn't that people aren't aware that the scale and magnitude differences are large and significant. It's that the space of intellectual property LAW does not handle the …

I saw an old man yesterday use a foldable for the larger screen for larger fonts. Maybe he was a hardcore tech enthusiasts, but larger screens is an important use case for many.

I think Terrance makes a great general point in general, but the specific claim is not always true: complex dynamics can arise from simple initial conditions, therefore, simple cha…

This year's number is kinda fun: 2025 = 0^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 + 7^3 + 8^3 + 9^3 Which is equivalent to: 2025 = (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9) ^ 2 = 45 ^ …

Which one would you recommend for the greater Boston area?

This can't be a serious question. US Government likes US Government control because it's themselves. They don't want an adversary to have control. Is the distinction not obvious??

I know there is a documented case of a non-involved person getting injured, but do you have evidence that this attack was not 99% effective? The attack vector was the device specif…

I mean, we have pistol, which is a smol cannon shooting.

I think the important argument for^1 is that this prevents other search engine from bidding on the slot. It certainly would be an issue for Google if Apple products defaulted to Bi…

I think there's some behind the scenes drama. It takes a LOT of time and investment from both sides to build up to a $23B offer. I wonder if there was something some Alphabet exec …

I can't tell if people in this thread are negative about taxes or negative about funding local news, which is crucial for a robust democracy.

Yes, by making sure they don't hit back. The United States won a nuclear war against Japan in WW2. In theory, it's possible to intercept all the missiles from an enemy, see Iran's …

Nothing notably bad happens. Nuclear explosions are highly sensitive and engineered events. If you destroy the ignition mechanism, then it will become a dud. FWIW, there has been a…
