> A newspaper publishing the name/image of a suspected criminal is definitely "publishing an individuals name, photograph", without their consent, and can quite clearly cause alarm or distress.
Cherrypicking your example:
Newspapers shouldn’t publish names or images of suspects, so to me this specific example would be a very good thing.
Not sure (IANAL) but I think in my country this is illegal already
Otherwise I agree that it’s very ambitious wording
I don’t think this will be possible for many open core projects. Often the premium features are the more complex and difficult ones.
If you could generate those you don’t need the project at all anymore you can just generate the whole thing.
Of course that is the wet dream of VCs and would make programmers completely obsolete but I don’t think it’s realistic (at least not anytime soon)
> which sees participation as entirely motivated by money.
I think it’s rather that people need to eat. He admits that some wealthy devs will continue to work for free (do charity basically) but for those who want to make a living from OSS it will be harder and harder.
But yea as you said ultimately it probably won’t matter that much.
All the downsides you listed can be solved by public open source models.
The ones we have are pretty good already and I would hope that they only get better in the near future.
Once you can it on your machine you can safely give it all your data and much more.
Of course i would still like a human doctor but it might be a better tool for personal research before you see an expert than what we had in the past.
The biggest issue with sugar is that it makes stuff taste better which leads to overeating.
Incidentally it’s also the only downside of glutamate, it just makes stuff taste so good you’ll eat much more than your appetite would guide you to
When I was visiting the US I was shocked how much more expensive “real” food is. Here I am spending more if I eat out or processed food versus cooking my own food at home.
In the US it was basically the inverse, didn’t make any sense to me.
(N=1 and 10 year old experience, but it seems to have only gotten more extreme since)
It’s kind of a given that the average HN reader won’t have any problems with this (like who is opening a browser without ublock origin on it?) - but like 90% of the population are powerless against this literal cyber bullying; it’s really sad
People really pay 300+ € for a phone; it’s crazy to me.
I still have some ancient (pre-smartphone) phones lying around, they work just fine and do the same thing.
To be fair they don’t come with Signal but then again that doesn’t seem to work well.
Only real argument would be the battery - but the last time I tested one of my old burner phones the battery still lasted for about 5 days (crazy right…)
