You just don't read about it if small players are involved. They don't have the media attention and the money, they just vanish.

You don't need fair use for something that isn't copyright worthy like an API. It's like claiming you copied a book if the chapter headlines are identical.

Oracle will enforce a ruling in their favor globally, but fair use doesn't exist globally. Also it will make API patentable, and that's a very bad thing. Just think of OpenOffice und MySQL v…

Netflix original series have 8 to 10 episodes. Series with more are just on syndication on Netflix. But the main problem is Netflix kills shows after one or two seasons, leaving you with a cliffhanger…

This is the result of monopolies. The internet is meant for communication by defining protocols to connect all computers with each other. This allows everyone to participate and at the same time creat…

But then you need an official way to report and fix errors.

They don't need to sell fake electronics. Ever heard of planned obsolescence? You already got screwed. They provide you value? What do you think advertising is for? Not everything you think has v…

Embrace, extend and extinguish

Never trust big companies. The driving force is always money and if the could get away with it they screw their customers. MS just changed it's leverage a bit. VS Code, Github, Edge based on Chro…

Does anybody know a company or institution that they trust to operate a reactor for decades with the right safety standard? Everywhere safety is being cut back if it reduces profits. We may have the t…

Security by "Stop doing that"

The people of number two can resize their browser window. If I prefer full width lines I'm forced to the designers specific UX. That's quite ironic because the U in UX stands for user and my…

For me it's teh other way around. I hate these narrow designs where two third of the site is blank. Mostly gleaming white. Additionally I have to scroll even though the text would have fit on one…

They renamed 27 genes in the past years to avoid Excel errors https://www.engadget.com/scientists-rename-genes-due-to-exce... …

Excel is good at what it was developed for. Unfortunately, it is often used for other things. For example, in this case as a database. This leads to the fact that departments build solutions that work…

Band saws, C++, Javascript have a different user group than Excel. Most of them have been trained on the tool they use. If Excel were a band saw, there would be a lot more people missing fingers.

The typical users of javascript ate programmers, they know that errors. The typical users of Excel most of the time aren't aware of Excels weaknesses. And good look finding these errors in large …

Nothing wrong? Excel autoconverts values if it thinks it knows the data type of a column and Excel treats 1900 as a leap year. Genetic researchers changed the names of genes to prevent auzoconveesion …

Because it sounded like he made profit of the works of others, but it's the other way around. They made profit of his work.

You left out the part, that the publishers made money with his channel because of youtube's content id system.

Former President. The blog doesn't show this and Sam Altmann is not really a unique name.

The problem is that the article doesn't put things into context but only uses abbreviations. I had rather the suspicion that it is again a nonsense text from GPT-3. When writing a programming art…

You just criminalized Whistelblowers. If it's a crime to make a crime public, than the definition of crime is all wrong.

What if you reached the linked page via another source? It is bad style and disrespect to the reader to use abbreviations without explaining at least once their meaning.

Antisemitism was/is widespread in Europe. Germany was long time a safe haven for the Jews. What do you think, why german and jiddish share so many words and similarities?
