I used to be opposed to GPL at moral level have have since changed my mind on this. It makes sense for anything that is essentially infrastructure -- operating systems, web servers, software firewalls -- to be GPL: improvements at this level are rarely something which gives a specific company a competitive advantage. In the cases where it would, however, I like the idea of dual-licensing so that a GPL project (for example: Linux) could be combined with proprietary code without needing to publish the changes. Right now anyone thinking along those lines (Sony, Netflix, Juniper, etc) chooses FreeBSD. In the case of the companies who have chosen FreeBSD for proprietary use they have, in many cases, ended up contributing work back to the parent project if for no other reason than self-interest in making updates to the base OS easier as their custom code remains slim. If Linux had been offering this dual-license option I think the examples above would have chosen Linux and there would have been contributions back to the parent project that aren&#x27;t there today.

Does the Tesla know not to turn on red in Europe or is FSD not yet available? Also for example in Switzerland a driver is required to stop at a cross walk if a person is standing to cross or about to cross. This is not the case in Italy.

Your function does take implicit arguments. There&#x27;s no way your Ruby function can return the current time (&quot;now&quot;) without external dependencies that supply that time.<p>If you want to argue otherwise, you must provide this hypothetical implementation that complies with your specs. I&#x27;m telling you that your function effectively can&#x27;t exist as you describe it. In order for your function to <i>work</i> it <i>requires</i> an implicit argument (the &quot;world&quot; if you want to be coarse, though in this case we know it&#x27;s the time).<p>If you want to argue that<p><pre><code> magical function is not magical function </code></pre> that&#x27;s fine, but also uninteresting. Magic is not bound by the constraints of the physical universe. We generally don&#x27;t find arguing about leprechauns and unicorns for this reason (at least, not seriously).

You’re right that Uber and Lyft exist as solutions; I don’t accept cabs as an equally good solution since uber and Lyft’s user experience is way better.<p>Self driving takes Uber drivers out as the middle man and allows prices to go to 1&#x2F;5th the current cost; so that is an even better solution, which IMO is a real difference from Current Uber and Lyft.<p>Yeah, I don’t believe Tesla’s doing self-driving the right way, but I still think the industry itself has a worthy goal.

I disagree.<p>I would accept this argument if the news was about the President actually moving to delay the election and having a reasonable chance of success, or anything where discussion would actually improve the news.<p>This news is tremendous flame bait, and there&#x27;s nothing that can be discussed in HN that wouldn&#x27;t appear in major newspapers. If you want to discuss it with other people, Reddit is probably a better place.

Humans should live 500 years. Death is a disease.

In theory if you&#x27;re browsing a site over HTTP, the initial request to the form will be HTTP, and then you&#x27;ll be 301&#x27;d to the secure signup form. A check could happen before the 301 is issued (instead displaying a warning message). That may not be how it <i>is</i> done on any given site, but my point is that it is possible to handle gracefully.<p>But yes, clicking an https link directly would cause issues.

If you&#x27;re looking for &quot;hotels in Tulsa&quot;, you almost certainly want to book a hotel. Hotel booking sites seems like good search results.<p>If you&#x27;re looking for &quot;Trade Winds Central Inn in Tulsa&quot;, the first result, after one ad, is www.tradewindstulsa.com&#x2F;.<p>Yes, Google displays a lot of ads sometimes. But those sometimes are almost always when you are looking to purchase something, and Google works hard to make sure those ads are things you&#x27;re interested in purchasing.

Postgres has had a native json type and the latest version improves upon the functions given to manipulate json data. So data that may not map well to a relational schema can just be put in the json object type and handled accordingly. Also, because it&#x27;s attached to an SQL engine, you can use things like views on your json data if it makes sense for the type of data you&#x27;re querying.<p>There has been a considerable amount of work put into postgres over the past few years for getting it to handle your data regardless of what it looks like. The developers seem to have a very good grasp on the fact that not all data is alike, and giving tools that will work well, and together with, all your data leads to a lot fewer headaches in the long run.

&#62; This is something the EFF used to be good at, but now is quite bad at, and despite the fact that EFF mostly supports causes I agree with, I urge you to direct your donations to ACLU or other civil liberties charities instead.<p>I'm not sure if that line of logic actually follows, but a rather important distinction is that many causes the EFF supports (that are publicized) have an impact globally, while the ACLU, well the 'A' in the name already says it, no?<p>Now I still prefer to support my own local digital civil liberties groups (such as Bits of Freedom, that do great work on explaining tough computer/security/privacy subject to ancient politicians), but if we're going to be urging people to support this and not that, better give to the EFF because what they do is actually useful for more people.

I just came back from another 2-hour session of ingress in my local town (≈ 10 minute bus ride from my home to the area with lots of portals). That’s the third 2-hour session this weekend, after another one on Thursday :).<p>I definitely like the game, it’s fun to play, especially with friends. When playing together, you can achieve much more: set up stronger portals, bring down enemy portals quicker, etc.<p>I noticed that people are getting to know each other via the game.<p>Also, Ingress is the reason for the most time I’ve spent outside (apart from traveling) in the last decade. My friends share this experience.<p>Before anyone asks: unfortunately I don’t have any invites to hand out.

&gt; Referencing contemporaneous legislation is not unnecessary.<p>Its entirely unnecessary when there is no specific relationship drawn other than vague temporal associations and references to &quot;mindset&quot;.<p>&gt; They include rate setting, petitioning agencies to make changes to rates or plant, internal cross subsidization (USF), etc, just like Title II.<p>Title II does not require: (1) The FCC to adopt rate-setting regulations, or (2) The FCC to adopt regulations requiring petition to make changes to rates Title II <i>permits</i> such regulations, and (barring forbearance) requires covered carriers to <i>publish</i> rates, including <i>publishing</i> advance notice of changes.<p>&gt; Title II is going to make it a lot harder and a lot less profitable to be a telecommunications carrier.<p>Given that most of what Title II is <i>permit</i> the FCC to adopt certain kinds of regulations, and given that most of the exceptions to that that impose direct statutory rules are also expressly subject to forbearance, I don&#x27;t think there is any real basis to saying anything about what &quot;Title II&quot; will or won&#x27;t do in general terms, rather than in the context of a particular package of regulations that come along with a Title II determination. While you don&#x27;t actually make any specific references to what specific source of this &quot;a lot harder and a lot less profitable&quot; is, everything you&#x27;ve referred to seems to suggest you are operating on the basis that you are assuming both that every &quot;the Commission may issue regulations&quot; in Title II will be exercised with the most onerous possible regulations, and that the Commission will choose <i>not</i> to exercise forbearance for every provisions subject to forbearance. This is out of line with pretty much everything Wheeler has suggested about Title II use, and everything everyone advocating Title II reclassification has suggested the FCC should do as part of that.

That&#x27;s a good explanation for why there are so many SSGs on Github but it doesn&#x27;t explain why there are so many in use.

My wife is a doctor of Physical Therapy, and I&#x27;ve learned incredible amounts about the human body.<p>Not, how to get stronger faster, but more specifically which biological processes is the body capable of?<p>When I read people who suggest yoga , massage, chiro, weird exercises, etc... I just wonder- Why?<p>There is enough information on the internet to learn there are only a few ways to change muscles. Massage, manipulations, and stretching have their own merit, but without (hypertrophy) strengthening, is temporary.<p>Strengthening is one of the few things that is lasting.<p>I genuinely feel bad for people who think yoga is going to make their sitting back pain go away. The yoga infulencers and chiros will tell you whatever you want to hear.<p>Edit: lots of confusion about yoga and Physical therapy. A physical therapist doesn&#x27;t teach you a workout. They use each tool to solve a body problem. Yoga is general exercise and stretching. Yoga might make you stronger, but it&#x27;s not likely they are targeting the weak muscles directly, but rather giving you a workout routine.

A century ago yes, fifty years ago I&#x27;m not so sure, thirty years ago almost certainly not.

Dorothy Thompson is a fascinating and important historical figure, hugely famous in her prime, but much diminished when she died and largely forgotten now. She is due to be rehabilitated. I&#x27;d be surprised if it didn&#x27;t happen in the next few years.<p>I&#x27;ve been told that <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;American-Cassandra-Life-Dorothy-Thompson&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0316507245" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;American-Cassandra-Life-Dorothy-Thomps...</a> is a good bio.

Nope, never been watched Fox News in my life. Just an annoyed customer that when I go to the store I can&#x27;t find what I would like. And yeah, the proper way to ban something is to set minimum standards of performance that the thing could never meet. That&#x27;s like Republicans saying &quot;we aren&#x27;t banning abortion&quot; while creating a series of legislation that makes it extremely hard to impossible to be able to perform abortion.<p>Either way I said &quot;most.&quot;

Using the word &quot;relationship&quot; is a bit manipulative IMO. If it is a relationship, it&#x27;s a conditional one-sided one.

Late but for you or anyone who reads this later: how did you miss that I wrote &quot;women in tech&quot; in quotes? Furthermore, if you read a little closer do you notice another subtlety: she isn&#x27;t the only one.<p>You seem to look for a reason to get offended. That isn&#x27;t a good strategy if you are going to work with some of us. Otherwise we&#x27;re quite ok and happily work with anybody as long as they stay technical instead of going off like you did above. ;-)

People trust Apple and nobody else can read their code. This suggests open source is not necessary to build trust.

Last time I went to the store they weren&#x27;t there.<p>And once again &quot;as much lumen output as a 120 watt incandescent&quot; just isn&#x27;t the case in reality. I&#x27;ve tried every lightbulb at every color temp and nothing works for me. Say that as much as you want but the light output sucks. I spent probably $60 on lightbulbs trying to find one to light my bedroom and the only thing that would help is buying about 2 more lamps. The same lamp worked fine to light my bedroom with an incandescent bulb year ago.<p>I had done (what I thought at the time was) the good thing and switched over. Now that I am sick of it and I want to go back it is very difficult to find them in the stores and if I bought online I&#x27;d pay an arm and a leg.

He&#x27;s not saying &quot;it&#x27;s clear when someone is preaching hate&quot; (it is certainly often couched in oblique language to avoid attracting ire and opposition), he&#x27;s saying, &quot;it&#x27;s pretty clear when someone is making a threat or incitement to imminent, actual violence.&quot;<p>Neither &quot;The Jews will not replace us&quot; nor &quot;euthanize the rentiers&quot; constitutes an imminent threat of violence.

There isn&#x27;t that much publicly available information about how Watson works - I&#x27;m pretty sure I&#x27;d read everything there was in January this year. There might be some more now?<p>I can&#x27;t even imagine where to start with &quot;Can you help me with life insurance&quot; - beyond maybe triggering standard sales pitches.<p>How does Watson decide when to use the knowledge graph and when to look more broadly?

For me programming started as a means to an end. I am entrepreneurial and I realized the www was a frictionless distribution method for many great products and services. I was naturally curious about how things work so it was easy to learn the skills. Now a days I get joy from solving and automating but I try to remember that I was an entrepreneur first and in the big picture hacking is still a means to an end.

It took me a minute to find the actual full proposal text: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.regulations.gov&#x2F;document?D=FAA-2019-0229-0001" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.regulations.gov&#x2F;document?D=FAA-2019-0229-0001</a><p>The link here is to the comments, and definitely take a minute to read some submitted comments from the space industry, congress, airlines &amp; observers. They are enlightening. Having read about a dozen extremely well thought out letters so far, I’ve seen nothing but very serious concerns with the proposal.<p>Blue Origin, for example, created a diagram of the new licensing process, and detailed why it’s not likely to result in the monetary savings that the FAA is claiming.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.regulations.gov&#x2F;contentStreamer?documentId=FAA-2019-0229-0096&amp;attachmentNumber=1&amp;contentType=pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.regulations.gov&#x2F;contentStreamer?documentId=FAA-2...</a><p>Many people commenting that the proposal isn’t adequately addressing the FAA’s mandate to public safety. To me it seems like a curious move to deregulate in the wake of the Boeing Max crashes that don’t look great for the FAA... but I don’t know how the FAA is structured, is it fair to draw any lines between rockets and airline regulation, or is rocket licensing a completely separate group of people?

&#62;Dilution necessarily reduces the per share value of the stock. Always.<p>No. This is wrong. Dilution is the reduction in percentage of ownership of the company, not a reduction in the stock price. It may reduce, increase, or leave the price of the stock unchanged depending on whether or not the market thinks the company will make good use of the incoming money.

&#62; <i>Damn, even when Atari was screwed up, it wasn't frowned upon to play games. That's /really/ bad.</i><p>I dunno. The issue here seems more one of culture-shock than right- or wrong-styles.<p>I think the problem is that people see "game company" and they think "wacky-and-crazy-everybody-chillin'-in-t-shirts-and-playing-foosball-while-shooting-nerf-guns-at-the-boss-woohoo-caffeine!" American-style game company.<p>Nintendo isn't like that, and never has been. They're a large Japanese company, and one which has <i>always</i> been sort of conservative and traditional (even by comparison with other Japanese companies).<p>If you want to work for a wacky-foosball company, then I suppose Nintendo probably isn't for you, but it's pretty clear that good games can be made under either model. Whatever the opinion of some EA dev on the wii-u, and regardless of how "good" the wii-u is, Nintendo has had more influence on the gaming world than EA ever will.<p>Even the accusation of "bureaucracy" in the original post, which while certainly true—Nintendo is a large company, and large companies tend towards the bureaucratic—seems a bit off the mark. I don't think it's an issue of bureaucracy, I think it's an issue of culture.<p>I also think first impressions can be somewhat deceiving. I work for a very large Japanese company, which is crazy bureaucratic, and while this can be very annoying, there's also a <i>lot</i> of loyalty and flexibility at the small team level. That sort of thing is hard to see from outside.

It isn&#x27;t as simple as point laser at moon, see light shining back with your own eyes, it requires a big telescope and computers and delicate sensors to detect because the moon and earth are so far apart.<p>I mean, if actual pictures of the landing site from LRO don&#x27;t convince them: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;airandspace.si.edu&#x2F;multimedia-gallery&#x2F;628457main1apollo11-670jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;airandspace.si.edu&#x2F;multimedia-gallery&#x2F;628457main1apo...</a> then a few extra photons returning to the earth won&#x27;t change their mind. (My personal favorite, in an aesthetic sense, is: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nasa.gov&#x2F;mission_pages&#x2F;LRO&#x2F;news&#x2F;apollo-15.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nasa.gov&#x2F;mission_pages&#x2F;LRO&#x2F;news&#x2F;apollo-15.html</a>)

It&#x27;s probably similar to how some seem attractive to mosquitoes more than others. My wife definitely gets them worse than me, and to boot she gets big welts from their bites while I only itch for a few hours.

Presumably they&#x27;d have to live as a nonbinary person generally, which would come with all the social consequences of being &#x27;out&#x27;. Also it may be possible that male-only categories are still rewarded greater than other categories (eg. womens tennis vs mens tennis and other controversies).<p>If someone wants to cheat, there&#x27;s easier ways to cheat (doping) than taking on a whole pile of societal judgements in every facet of one&#x27;s life, constantly, and trying to push against it in affirmation of one&#x27;s own identity. Including accusations of lying about it for the win.<p>EDIT: Of course there&#x27;s no way to objective prove a gender. We don&#x27;t even have &#x27;objective&#x27; ways to prove someone&#x27;s gender even when they fall upon the binary. We have cis women who have been disqualified for having the wrong chromosomes even though they have qualifying secondary sex characteristics (which athletes have also been recorded needing to be subjected to invasive exposing of their bodies to verify the category).

I don&#x27;t give clicks to rags like outsideonline.com, sorry.<p>On another note I&#x27;m always amazed how confident HN posters are about any subject, even when they admit all their knowledge comes from a few minutes of google searches and articles.

Sorry, I&#x27;m not quite sure if you&#x27;re in agreement or not.<p>The claim was that humans need to be protected from themselves (in the context of the GP comment, this would mean a ban).<p>I meant to imply that since smoking rates declined steadily without a ban, the claim that prohibition is the correct answer because we humans can&#x27;t stop trading short term pleasure for long term pain seems dubious.<p>That&#x27;s even without considering our extensive experience with what happens when we prohibit substances which sellers want to sell and still not insignificant parts of the population want to buy.

Even walking style might make a difference.<p>I tend to fairly carefully but rapidly pick my way along a trail. My wife and kids do not. I&#x27;d imagine this varies the rate of exposure to things like foliage on the edges of the trail.

I'm not faulting the BPF authors for not inventing DynASM, I'm just illustrating what DynASM buys you over the more traditional approach.<p>Without a preprocessor you'll always be dealing in encoded instructions instead of symbolic ones. It's manual work that is surely nicer to avoid if you can. I'm surprised that you're put off by the preprocessor aspect of it, given the benefits of this approach.

Your data likely only counts the line item budget alloted to the Pentagon under defense spending and doesn&#x27;t include the hundreds of billions of additional special appropriation given out for our recent middle East adventurism.<p>The military industrial complex is largely fraudulent, only blind patriotism could believe otherwise.

&gt; [I] have never seen it in practice. Understandable Lisp isn&#x27;t that compact.<p>Also, you are literally replying to a comment chain provoked by a post that argues, with code, exactly this point. The Clojure (a Lisp dialect) version has the same core logic as the Java version. The core logic is virtually inarguably just as readable as the Java version. And it is just shy of an order of magnitude fewer lines of code than the Java version.<p>So here&#x27;s an example from a real, live code base of understandable Lisp, in practice, that is 10x more compact than the Java version.

It probably needs an innovation in articles of incorporation, something like the &quot;benefit corporation&quot; that would bind a certain criminal liability to the board and&#x2F;or officers in a very explicitly way. Right now they don&#x27;t see jail time except in pretty narrow cases, like say Enron, where it was violations of fiduciary duty. Enron, and its auditor, did basically get the corporate death penalty (they&#x27;re gone). And the shareholders were destroyed.
