Why would you judge a person based purely on what other people say about them, and not on your own interactions with them?

If they'd wanted you to do that, they would have named the files something like "CMakeLists.txt".

Except.. it didn't blather on at all, and got right to the point.

Unfortunately, the words "Deno", "TypeScript", and "removal" made for good headline material, and what was effectively a design document about performance optimization[1] became misinterpreted by many as heralding the removal of TypeScript from Deno, despite the document being updated with a explanatory warning that it was a very deep technical document about a specific part of architecture, and that Deno remains completely committed to supporting TypeScript forever.

Those lawyers are correct.

Not all jurisdictions of the world legally recognize the concept of 'public domain'.

There does exist the CC0 license[0] which attempts to alleviate it, but I haven’t heard if it’s been tested in the courts.

FUSER.

It's basically easy-mode music mixing/DJing with live cooperative multiplayer.

Have you ever sat down and had a long, and deep conversation with someone suffering from severe paranoid schizophrenia after they've experienced a psychotic break?

I assure you, you will quickly understand the difference.

Especially if that someone is your previously un-diagnosed friend and business partner.

Human interaction is fundamentally persuasive, even when completely unintentional. I don't think you can get around that.

You can get around it. A couple weeks ago I had friends over while their place had to be vacated for a few hours, they bought lunch, we played with cats

You can go after "all altruism is selfish" argument but you'll end up having to settle with "some altruism is more selfish than others"

I find that experience to be persuasive, as well. It persuades me about the kindness of your friends.

You weren't a part of this interaction. You're going with the "How can you tell if someone is vegan? ..they'll tell you" joke

Do you not find yourself to be naturally persuaded by your friends through your time and experiences with them?

Sometimes, but not always

Another situation: when I play chess online I'm interacting with people. You can argue they're persuading me about how best to play chess, but that isn't their motive nor is there a set conclusion they're trying to make me reach

You should narrow persuasion from "interaction" to a kind of conversation (such as those found in HN threads), otherwise you could start arguing all information inputs are persuasion regardless of whether the source is human

It really was such a brilliant move on Netflix's part.

My rinky-dink little ISP has peering connections with Netflix, Apple and AWS. The operate in 2 midwestern cities with maybe 50,000 total customers, so it seems like the Netflix vs ISP issue only exists with the Comcasts and Xfinities of the world. Everyone else is really happy to work with Netflix; it costs them nearly nothing.
