I listened to a song a few weeks ago... now that song is in almost every page on YouTube for me. Homepage, sidebar, search results. It's just everywhere.

I've already listened to it. I don't want to listen to it again every single day for the rest of time.

If you want to talk in absolutes, I'd say the best design is the one that results in the desired behaviour of your audience.

I have the emails going straight to trash.

35k emails so far, deleted about 10k yesterday.

My inbox is functional so it’s not a big deal, but it’s surprising this activity is not caught by a spam filter or something.

~45k emails (so far) to one email? Totally normal human activity according to GitHub.

The result seems to be a queue of 60,000 emails, steadily hitting my inbox for two days straight.

No amount of settings changes on GitHub makes a difference.

Nice work GitHub!

Indeed, the HN guidelines:

That's it.

Going a little further, living in the ocean is easier than living on Mars. As far as I can tell there are no billionaire-funded submarine civilisation programs.

The deserts even have breathable air.

> Copyright actually defies common law by requiring state power to enforce monopolies on certain information

All laws ultimately require state power. You're deferring to state power by using the MIT licence, which recognises and legitimises copyright law that you take issue with.

> Copyright is sold as "promoting the arts" but in net slows innovation and decreases artistic freedom.

This is a big claim that requires big evidence. Robust copyright law has existed for about half a century, during which time innovation and artistic freedom seem to have flourished. In fact copyright appears to have directly contributed to the creation of the corpus Meta AI is exploiting; it exists because of copyright, not in spite of it.

> [Copyright] primarily enables rent-seeking by publishers at the expense of the public

I think you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Copyright bestows the right of individuals to benefit from the value they create. Without talking about IP law more broadly in a capitalist system (which seems to be your gripe), I think this is a good thing.

I've benefitted greatly from the content of books, as have we all. If authors had to rely on live shows (for a book?), take commissions and sell subscriptions I think we'd all be worse off, because these provide little to no economic security for authors.

If you think copyright shouldn't exist, you're free to ignore any rights afforded you for your work, "the state" is not going to enforce anything unless you bring a case to a court.

I understand the MIT licence as convention, and it makes sense. It's just you're opining on a public forum about copyright being somehow antithetical to "basic principles on which our governance is founded" whilst attaching copyright notices to your work.

Much of common law is specifically about property, upon which a good portion of modern day governance is founded. So your objection to copyright seems somewhat misinformed.

What is it about copyright that you think is a negative in today's society?
