That's why I was asking about if there was any information about this, or any studies/investigations done, since people can go back and forth forever with "Well, did they already check that part? Is it intentional? Was the dog triggered?" Etc.. etc... It definitely seems like an area ripe for investigation, I just haven't seen any.
Don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure that the data you add on IPFS isn't automatically replicated on participating nodes. Other nodes will only acquire the data when they request it.
Package managers have their own problems. Unless they are curated well they lead to many libraries that all claim to do the same thing. I wont name any specific examples, but using some of the above takes a fair amount of judgement in how rock solid the package is.

> We've also seen a _tremendous_ amount of interest from people who don't strongly identify as a 'systems programmer' at present.

Can't underline this enough, as a long time WebDev with a lot of JavaScript, Python and Lua experience, Rust really feels like a door opener into the bare metal* world.

Especially as a Node Dev I felt right at home with Cargo. And as someone who only rarely touches C/C++, having the compiler scream at me for the first 10 days or so was probably the best "tutorial" about memory management and ownership I've ever "read" :) Rust really made me think a lot deeper about who / where and when stuff will be owned and eventually destroyed.

Overall, the language, cargo and everything around them fit so well together, learning it has been a real joy so far :)

* Well I've also done Z80 assembler on GameBoy before but that's probably not what people today would consider "bare metal" these days.
Losing a CEO is extremely disruptive to any company

Losing a CEO is also a material event for a publicly traded company, and there's a whole ecosystem of lawyer who will file "shareholder" lawsuits if they think they can make the case you didn't spend enough to protect that CEO.

I just want to say, them charging more for smartphones and then again for data is nonsense, if they aren't subsidizing the phones themselves, then there is no rational reason why a smartphone would seek a premium. It is just double-dipping. And tablets costing $10/month while smart watches are "only" $5 a month is again nonsensical and one doesn't cost more than the other, and they aren't offering more value either.

Now that they're no longer subsidizing phones, it is easy to see just how horribly expensive cellular service is in the US. Their cheapest smartphone plan is $20 + $30 a month plus a million little fees and charges. That gets you 1GB of data, unlimited calls and text.

That's £32.27. 1 GB of data is only £12 (4G speeds) on GiffGaff in the UK, with 500 minutes calls/unlimited texts. If you have £32 to spend you can get 5GB of 4G data and 5K minutes of calls if you wish.

I like T-Mobile the most out of the big three in the US, but even T-Mobile charges $50/month starting rate for a smartphone. Now, yes, you get some cool value adds with T-Mobile (Canada/Mexico calling, free music streaming, basic international data/texts, and so on) but still, the US remains a very expensive place to own a cellphone.

If they were smart (any of them) they'd only charge a setup fee for tablets/laptops/smart watches/etc and then after that keeping the devices on the network is "free" indefinitely and they just charge you data usage. This encourages more data usage on the network, which is a much safer long term prospect than scaring people into adding their devices due to the silly monthly fees.

I'm not going to go to the hassle of adding my tablet just for a short vacation, but if it was on the network indefinitely, I am going to enable the 3G/4G modem and use it for that vacation. Their supposed greed ($5/month, etc) is actually costing them more money than it makes them.
For me it's not really the freedom. I already said that elsewhere, but: I don't mind when the compiler yells at me. I just don't like the compiler to criticize my coding style by default. Initially, I liked Rust because it reminded me of C++. But then I began reading the book and basically it was full of statements about the coding style I prefer (and will keep) being bad. That's an incredibly stupid reason, but it kind of keeps me away from the language. But it's also the fact that C++ still is very widespread and has tons of libraries.

I wouldn't say never, of course. I'm looking forward to using Rust. Just not now.

Most non-copyleft OSS licenses are compatible in some form, including with copyleft licenses such as the GPL; when used in a combined work, the combined work's license essentially reverts to the most restrictive of the licenses.

In some cases, such as with WinObjC, reverting to the most restrictive license makes the work unsuited for its intended purpose.

However, many copyleft OSS licenses have clauses that are genuinely incompatible with both other copyleft licenses, and less-liberal OSS licenses -- in such cases it's impossible to legally combine code under the licenses.

In your example, the CDDL and the GPL have incompatible copyleft restrictions; your resulting program wouldn't be distributable under the provided licenses.

A more common incompatibility example is that of the OpenSSL license and the GPL; GNU maintains a fairly complete list of incompatibile licenses here: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#GPLIncompat...
Interestingly, European bees hybridized with African bees seem to be quite resistant to CCD. Makes me wonder if one of the problems afflicting American honeybees is a lack of genetic diversity.
there have been a number of simple examples in modern times -- poems that cycle through a pessimistic statement, a statement like "we will never see the day when", and an optimistic statement, and end with the line "now read from bottom to top" (which makes the middle line negate the pessimistic statement instead of the optimistic one.)

"After the Flood what happened to dinosaurs?

"When the Flood was over Noah opened the Ark’s big door and let the animals free. Babies were born to each set of parents. After many years, the earth began to be filled with animals again.

"The dinosaurs lived for at least a few centuries after the Flood, but probably never in the great numbers that there once had been. No one knows exactly when they finally died out."

you can simulate a longer genesis originating chain with constant low difficulty by keeping block intervals at exactly 10mins, but the consensus rule in Bitcoin is not to pick the longest chain but one with the largest cumulative difficulty.

The Bitcoin checkpoints are rather redundant and can be phased out with no loss of security.
Then it sounds like your opinion on the drug war is incorrectly influencing your opinion on issues surrounding the acceptable standards for a probable cause search. While the particular example here is drugs the same questions apply on searches for guns, stolen property or any other contraband.

It's important to keep orthogonal issues separate so you don't cross contaminate and introduce unintended outcomes.
The map is not the territory. "Computation" is fundamentally an abstraction for talking about that which various algorithms have in common. Algorithms themselves are a high-level description of a series of well-defined tasks. Computers aren't literally doing computation in the sense you are describing. What they're doing is simple physics with lots of voltage levels. The "computation" is a useful high-level description of what the computer is doing.

I agree that there's a missing abstraction for talking about human thought - it's a terribly complicated subject that isn't well understood. That doesn't mean that the human brain is doing anything that's different on a fundamental level than what computers can do. We don't have a high-level description of how human though works like we do with a computer, but it doesn't mean that human though has some kind of magic.

By that notion, by opening or closing a door or even standing on some sand I endow it with free will. Which is an odd way of looking at the world as more or less everything on the earth would then be endowed with free will.

> but are there open source license that simply can not co-exist?

The GPL can basically not coexist with any other license, though lots of licenses (though perhaps fewer than the FSF claims, especially for GPLv2 and previous) allow code to be relicensed under the GPL (which is different from the code coexisting.)

The reverse is emphatically not true, GPL code generally cannot be relicensed (downstream; the copyright owner can do whatever they want) to another license, except newer GPL versions if the optional "or any later version" clause is included with the GPL.

Yes. It's not particularly different from writing program Foo.c (using CDDL license) which uses files Bar.c and Dad.c you took from your former employer without permission. There is no copyright license allowing such a thing to be redistributed.

By default, all code is copyrighted and effectively proprietary. Open-source licenses are one way to grant permission to copy them. Fancy contracts with expensive lawyers are another way. You can only do what the licenses way you can do, and in particular, the GPL says that you may not apply "additional restrictions" and the CDDL has some clauses that the GPL doesn't. So there is no way to satisfy both licenses with regards to redistribution.

You can negotiate for a different license. (This seems to be what MS did with objfw.)
I really doubt the BOM cost will be that high when it launches - as Olimex points out, the prices AllWinner quote them make no sense and simply aren't competitive. Why would you use their R8 chip in your IoT device if a previous-generation tablet chip is basically identical and much cheaper?
The same can be said for the specific arrangement of dust interstellar gas. Suggesting said gas has free will just means your definition of free will is basically matter with a past or even more abstractly just math.

It may be subjective, but I don't think recidivism rate is so important that you would kill people who may not reoffend, or really might not be guilty in the first place. Personally I would prefer that at least in the case of non-violent crimes, it is better to parole almost everyone to reduce the suffering of innocents.

I also found the following quote weird because the article states people are worse at predictions and more biased than statistics:

For example, Australian Aborigines still have stories about the huge, man-eating lizards. It was considered just a standard myth until we discovered fossils of Megalania, a huge lizard matching the description, that went extinct soon after humans came to Australia.

Closer to the actual sea level rise topic, tribes of coastal northern Australia still have names and relatively precise description of land features (mountains etc) that are now underwater, but were land until 9k years ago.
Microsoft is very serious about OS licenses, and I'm sure the team is currently sweating to get this right.

When I had to go through this at Microsoft 5 years ago or so, the process was incredibly rigorous. Not only did we have to attest that all of our code was actually ours, but any duly integrated third-party code had to be vetted by a separate group to check that the third-party code contained no IP issues of it's own.

The process was incredibly cumbersome and I'm somewhat glad they've scaled back a bit, but this is much too far.

> Replacing headers with a standard header is pretty common.

It shouldn't be. That's a fundamentally bad idea.

It'd be reasonable to put a standard header at the top, immediately followed by "Based on (other project):" and the header for that project. But changing those headers is never OK.
That's a double edge sword. I live in Canada and I've been in a position where rules which I suspect were meant to slow down american companies moving in too fast into Canada actually prevented me from having access to markets to sell into.

For example, during the mobile apps gold rush. I had a finished Android app ready to go for almost a year waiting for the "Android Market" (Now the "Play Store") to allow Canadian sellers. I could not sell even in my own country (at least not with any visibility) while my American competitors could accumulate a huge head start. I had to wait for Google to jump through the Canadian regulatory hoops to allow Canadian sellers into their store. It was frustrating as hell.

The other problem is that new technologies often evolve from an ecosystem of other new technologies. If we only have late access to Netflix or Uber or self driving cars, it becomes difficult to be competitive in the technologies surrounding these technological shifts. If you're last to experience newer technologies on a daily basis, you're also last in a position to evaluate and predict where they are going which gives you a significant business disadvantage.

In order to build on top of the leading edge you have to have good access to the leading edge wherever it may originate from.

Sadly, I don't believe it is really about the "Next Best Thing" as much as it is about a reluctance for struggle. Real relationships take work and the newness in dating doesn't allow some of our uglier, vulnerable traits to surface.

We opt for convenience over depth because investment in another person requires acknowledging the risk of a temporal imbalance in the relationship that most people today are extremely uncomfortable with -- to a point, where I believe some choose polyamorous relationships over monogamous ones because there is a perception of de-risking loss.

Hopefully, Tinder will be a fad because even the most beautiful will age and by then maybe aspire for something more meaningful as the tedium of "dating" wears.
