MPow does a surprisingly good job, at least for headsets. Most of this stuff doesn't cost a lot of money, just thoughtful engineering.

My $400 Bose headphones have worse range than my cheap MPow headphones. Perhaps whatever great thought Bose puts in doesn't result in great products....

I think the right remedy are damages. It's simple. Musk should pay the difference between his offering price and Twitter's current market cap.

The risk tolerance is there result of not potentially taking out $1T of additional value if you f-- up a small project at a mega corporation.

At a mega corporation, you can't take risks which make complete sense for the project you're on independent of uncapped liability for the mothership.

There are misalignments like the one you describe but that's not what I'm talking about.

One of the advantages startups have is higher risk tolerance than branded megacorporations. Data, customers, brand, employees, law suits, or cynically, human lives.

For a laptop, I see diminishing returns at 3200x1800. That's as low as I'm go. 4k is preferred and now common. I don't need more.

Ironically, almost all phones I look at have more pixels than I need. Laptops are only recently easily available with reasonable pixel density. For a while, common phones had higher resolution (not just density) than laptops.

One of the differences is you c can liver in the investment. This means either not paying rent or collecting rent. The appreciation might be lower than the stock market but dividends are less than rent too.

This is fascinating. Out also explains why a vaccination might stop long COVID -- flooding the body with antibodies could drive out a latent infection.

Microsoft should make this service free for open source (not just thought leaders), and compensate people otherwise. I should have a 0.01% equity in Open AI if they're using my stuff like this.

Or they should do opt in.

I feel like there's an adequate market for a phone case with a high quality headphone jack, extended battery, sd slot, etc. It shouldn't more than double the thickness

I don't think any of those are offensive to defense contractors, etc. Polarizing the public on these issues is exactly the way to haves the public turn a blind eye took graft.

She said this never happens. This happened all the time. It's just that she was the first scientist to take the honest route and do a retraction rather than letting it slip. I'm impressed with her integrity, but surprised by her naivete.

Seems like they should sell the government 50 billion dollars of stock at the lower of current prices and 90% of the stock price at the time they did the buy back. They'll have lost money on the buybacks. They'll stay in business though.

Does anyone know how I would find a graphics card or set of graphics cards for Ubuntu which supported 5 monitors well, one being 4k?

I also don't want NVidia proprietary drivers due to bugs. They confuse something with monitors versus screens which breaks a lot of things. Nouveau works fine. Haven't tried AMD but I assume it's fine too.

Standard fee is a good idea. It works in Germany. Another idea is to have a portion of legal fees go to offering counsel. If you spend five million on lawyers, I get two and a half million for my lawyers.

Really reduces the incentive for overspending the opposing party and encourages cheap quick settlements.

That's definitely not the case.

Most people on campus think of RMS as a socially awkward crusader for free software. He has a reputation for pushing himself into positions where he's not wanted (e.g. handing out protest fliers at industry talks where MIT wants to maintain good relations, or responding to otherwise unrelated email threads where someone mentions proprietary software).

He had awkward posters on his door, but I've never heard of RMS hitting on people after they've asked him to stop. There's a big gap between "feel uncomfortable" and what you describe.

Most of the good stuff is designed for early childhood professionals, not parents. Parent stuff tends to be plausible sounding nonsense. It's when you have a group of a dozen kids in a preschool that you need stuff that works. Compare levels of order the versus at home. It's a bit of work to adopt but not too much.

If you can post a link to a good one I'd appreciate it. I've generally found expensive ones and bad ones. I've been looking for one that's cheap and good.

Why do you say "less than ethically"?

Copyrights, patents, and trademarks have clear limits. An overly expansive theory of copyright would be stifling to innovation and free expression.

It was sourced from someone who was liberal about taking legal risks, but I have a hard time seeing what ethical rights were broken. Indeed, the opposite theory is that if we don't exercise out rights, they go away and Google's source is risking litigation to preserve our rights.

The rightsholder here are the artists and their proxies (publishers and agents), not Genius. I wouldn't feel bad of they asked for a takedown or royalties.

Sure, but to whom? If your web site has data or works you uploaded but have no particular rights to, you can't prevent someone else from reusing it if you've given them access to download. Royalties are fine -- it depends on where you draw the line on fair use -- but they should go to the artist or publisher, not a random web site with no particular rights to the work who just happened to aggregate it. That's not how IP works.
