Limiting copyright to 5 years would neither encourage nor discourage blockbuster movies. It would just mean authors aren't getting paid for them, and corporations are keeping the cash. Turn your brain on.

If copyright only lasted five years, then authors would never be compensated for movies based on their novels.

A more rational approach is to say that authors cannot prevent derivative works, but they can be given a portion of any profits.

While I agree with you, I can also believe that a percentage of the execs at AI companies do not value information to any degree.

I really wish if they were going to abuse the standards process, they would have come up with something more rational than the shadow dom. Abuse standards, introduce useless crap.

Too lame, DON'T read. Sorry for the inclarity.

Yeah, you just listed a bunch of programming languages. You didn't give any indication you actually enjoy them. Have the things in your list are just you insulting them.

Again, I don't think you enjoy programming. That's why you became a manager.

You very convincingly make it sound so fun.

Here's a little more detail.

Researchers a few years back ran tests. ADHDers and neurotypicals were asked to harvest berries and edible plants.

Neurotypicals tended to over-harvest and damage bushes to the point where recovery would be slow if possible at all, and tended to pick areas clean, wiping out local populations of edible plants.

ADHDers tended to move relatively quickly from area to area, harvesting a decent amount from each area but not excessively. The quantities tended to be at the sort of level that have long been established as a good balance, such that plants and populations would tend to actually do better the following year. Not only that, but they tended to gather more.

Crofts and small farms rapidly went to three-stage and four-stage crop rotation, but different fields would be with different crops. This meant that the failure of a single crop would be much less of a survival thing.

You'd see fields with a mutitude of diverse crops, because diversity was critical. Failure was highly likely, so you localised it. Failure in one area had no meaningful impact overall. Things like the Irish potato famine and the parsnip failures across France in the 1700s were relatively rare in history. Likewise, when industrialisation wiped out cottage industries, farms that had been very successful suddenly went bankrupt and mass starvation was common. The ability to task-switch and have a large number of small projects going was essential to life at the edges.

You're absolutely right, more ADHD would have indeed curbed the excesses. The industrial revolution caused huge problems by trying to do too much with too little diversity. Which eventually destroyed the economies built around the early mills, because the markets were too easy to undermine. There was no capacity to switch. But during the IR, the obsession with coal meant nobody really looked at alternative fuels or alternative activities. Economies became tightly constricted, which was devastating when it came to global warming, but equally devastating when it came to distributing metal-devouring bacteria (which did enormous damage to infrastructure) and radioactive particles (old mill areas are still unusually radioactive).

More ADHD wouldn't have eliminated the problem, but it would have diversified the solutions and would have diversified the markets, resulting in a much more robust, much healthier marketplace and a much more robust, much healthier population.

Uh, no. As in, 100% of gatherers would be ADHD. IF they weren't, you'd be extinct within the year. 20% of the hunters would also be ADHD, because over-harvesting was also going to wipe out your food source. 100% of your explorers would be ADHD, 100% of your experimenters would be AuDHD.

ADHD was essential to survival. If you didn't want to die out, you stuck the neurotypical outside so that the wolves and other nasties actually hunting (tigers wouldn't be present) would get them. Neurotypicals were the main threat to survival.

It's not just about popularity of the destination, it's about the ease of making the map, and the difficulty of traffic in the area. Waymo avoids roads that are too difficult to drive on, routing around them if possible.

Have you ever shot an animal?

tl;dr

I think you have a point you are trying to make, but I cannot figure out what you are trying to say here at all.

COBOL was "$Coding_technology" is so easy anyone can program!

I seriously doubt you enjoy programming in any language.
