The biggest question is: is Red Hat going to release Tower as open-source ?

Red Hat is an open-source company and I would expect them to do so but they didn't even mention Tower.

EDIT: From their FAQ[0] it's not clear either. It seems to be pointing towards no.

> Red Hat plans to continue to develop, sell and support Ansible and Ansible Tower.

To me it's pretty obnoxious that most designs don't have licensing terms; that means that in many jurisdictions it would be illegal for me to print a PCB based off of it.

With this license, anyone cam make and (if they wish to) sell an O2, so long as they don't modify the design, and credit the author. That seems reasonable to me.
This is pretty much where I'm at. By the time you bolt back in everything that Ansible removes "for simplicity" because you realize that, hey, you stepped on that rake and would like to not step on it again, you've more or less reinvented Chef with YAML (I forget who around here called YAML the new S-expressions, but it's uncomfortably true) instead of a usable programming language as your DSL. The overwhelming volume of the community (edit: I called them "fanboys" before, and that's not fair; I think they're unreasonable but I'm not in their heads) makes me wonder at times whether or not it's trying to ignore picking the slower horse by being really enthusiastic about it.

My current client paid me to drop Ansible and rewrite the experimental Ansible service in Chef, and it's under half the lines of committed code in our repo and they don't have to deal with the bogus state of Ansible dependency management.

The hardening argument is hardly the most important one since it's a matter of having money to pay a silicon fab for the massive set up cost. According to [1] and [2], NASA has about as many still active deep space probes as there have been Falcon launches and many of them are as old or older than SpaceX the company, so we're talking about very different goals, histories, and organizations.

In order to achieve that kind of success while also dealing with the risk-averse public and obstructionist political system you need decades of reliability data for every mechanism, silicon fabrication process, and part in the space probe. Every cable tie, connector, all thermal and electrical insulation, every screw and panel, literally everything has to be extensively tested and their performance under a wide variety of conditions has to be completely mapped out.

For example, the last satellite I was involved in (NuStar, orbital xray telescope) which was designed mid to late 2000s, the PIs didn't even bother reviewing SSDs (Still at least a decade before they're used in critical missions) and hard drives were passed because no one wanted to risk our first xray telescope in decades, which happened to be several orders of magnitude more powerful than anything we've ever had in that spectrum. I left before the final decision was made but I have little doubt that the satellite uses tape drives fo rstorage because anything else is just not worth the risk.

This is awesome. I can remember clearly, in junior high school, the librarian informing us that we were only allowed to copy six pages of a book for homework assignments. I don't really have a strong opinion on much of this (one way or the other), because I'm not well enough informed on the topic, but I remember feeling weird about it, becaus the library aid made us feel like criminals for wanting to copy more than 6 pages. The library at that particular school was pretty substandard anyway.

I'm not so sure I won't be aging myself by saying this, but I feel very nostalgic about libraries, and the thought of them becoming obsolete saddens me, not so much because I can't imagine a future with mostly digital books, but because I always felt at home at the library (and not in the "there's a man sleeping under the 600s shelf" sort of way). I always felt a sort of wonderment at the library, and that others were there for the same reason added to that. I didn't visit the public library for school reasons, typically. Instead, I just sort of explored. I have always been a slow reader, so finding the exact right thing to read next was a bigger deal for me than just reading book after book.

I also volunteered as library aid in 12th grade, which was fun.

Are there others that feel / felt the same about libraries?

>Would it be fine?

According to what/whom?

The law: no, that was illegal.

Reality: reality never stopped Jack.

To the victims or their loved ones: no, but it wouldn't have been fine even had it be legal back then. The law had nothing to do with if they thought it was fine or not.

To me: I wasn't there back then, my opinion back then didn't exist either way.

To put it simply, that what Jack did was wrong has nothing to do with it being illegal.
Future humans that knew about it, future humans that had to rediscover DNA, evolved intelligent racoons, Eloi, Morlocks, aliens take your pick.

The idea is just to have some way to ensure that enough information survives in persistent forms, you can store "important" (for scientific advancement) stuff in various types of media which is progressively harder to access and gets more and more dense, and eventually store everything and it's mother in DNA or anything similar.

As things go if in 50 years we lose Google, Wikipedia, Facebook and Amazon/Kindle we might be on our way back to the stoneage.

The URL should have little to no effect in the grand scheme of things. Several factors go into their page ranking algorithm, and it is constantly changing.

The content the page is far more important. You might want to ensure the site is usable on mobile and includes content that is relevant in the meta tags when appropriate. You could look into adding microdata (http://schema.org/docs/gs.html) as another means of giving the search crawler pertinent information.
The only way to definetly know if it will be better for SEO is to test it. I would say go for it. If anything it will at least simplify your URL structure and make it easier to navigate.

It's the community, stupid
>It's not about what an ego thinks, it's about whether an argument exists.

I find it extremely ironic that you are making that point. What you are doing is precisely declaring a law about a complex and controversial issue to be invalid because there is an "universal and absolute argument" (aka, you think so) against that law. That's not how things work. Why would the things Jack the ripper thinks and agrees with be irrelevant and yours be "universalized arguments" that everyone must accept?

EDIT:

>According to my argument, it would be fine to use lethal force against Jack the Ripper initiating violence

Precisely. According to your argument. Not a universal truth.
It's strange that this is all coming up just now. The NSA has had this technology since at least 1992 when it was revealed in the gripping documentary movie "Sneakers".
A lot of companies have provisions in their EULAs to allow for copies stored in RAM or by the browsers, e.g. http://storedvalue.com/en-US/terms-and-conditions and I believe streaming services are doing that as well since going to the monitor will require making copies and transforms of the data from the network. It's all pretty funny until someone gets sued.
Consider that a sufficiently talented programmer constructing a very powerful piece of malware could, in fact, alter every copy of something everywhere, simultaneously, no matter what it's format.

And they wouldn't have to be 100% successful, they'd only need to affect enough copies to sow doubt into people minds about which is the authentic copy.

My point applies to all digital media, for the simple reason that computers are remarkable in their ability to modify the state of very small things.
Seizing the money raised in the distribution of the reputation isn't going to shut down Augur any more than seizing Satoshi's house and putting him in prison would shut down Bitcoin. At a certain point (Augur and Ethereum aren't there yet) it just takes on a life of its own beyond its creators.

I mean, Bittorrent ostensibly had a "central organization" at one point but there's nothing you could do to it that would shut down the protocol.
Every time I've seen people have the simplicity goal from the outset, they inevitably have to at some point abandon it or their simple software gets replaced by software that has additional complexity. It often happens that the complex replacement then again grows too complex, and someone comes along with a simpler solution and the cycle repeats indefinitely. Firefox was supposed to be a simpler Mozilla, and when it got too complex, Chrome came out. I wouldn't be surprised that now that both of them are too complex, in a few more years someone comes out with a browser that is simpler than both of them and is intended to replace them both.

Software development, in a very essentialist sense, is nothing but complexity management. Trying to never have any complexity is a naïve view of what software is.
> Affirmative requirements that new copyright laws make room in some form for fair use, research, and criticism.

The Cato Institute's perspective, http://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/strong-fair-use-...

"... critics rightly point out that U.S. trade agreements fail to capture the balance of creator and user interests imbedded in U.S. IP law. Trade agreements have been a one-way street that set a minimum level of protection. Limitations on creators’ rights—like fair use—are an important part of U.S. law but don’t get included in the agreements alongside things like longer monopoly terms and stricter enforcement.

... For example, the U.S. Copyright Office has proposed reforms to deal with the growing problem of “orphan works”—works that are protected by copyright but can’t be published because no one knows who owns the copyright. The proposed reforms would limit the damages these phantom copyright owners can claim from infringement after such works are published. That proposal is potentially barred by draft language in the TPP requiring the availability of full damages in every case."

EFF and others addressed the USTR on Orphan Works, https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/08/users-ustr-dont-sign-a...

"EFF has joined as signatory to a letter that calls on the U.S. Trade Representative not to agree to any provisions in the TPP that could prevent Congress from enacting fixes to address the orphan works problem. Other signatories to the letter are Authors Alliance, Creative Commons, Knowledge Ecology International, and New Media Rights."

The final TPP text? Orphan Works ignored, https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-...

"On damages, the text (QQ.H.4) remains as bad as ever: rightsholders can submit “any legitimate measure of value” to a judicial authority for determination of damages, including the suggested retail price of infringing goods. Additionally, judges must have the power to order pre-established damages (at the rightsholder's election), or additional damages, each of which may go beyond compensating the rightsholder for its actual loss, and thereby create a disproportionate chilling effect for users and innovators.

No exception to these damages provisions is made in cases where the rightsholder cannot be found after a diligent search, which puts the kibosh on ideas for the introduction of an orphan works regime that would cap remedies available against those who reproduce these otherwise-unavailable works."

Yes there are games in which you cannot tip, in all others the tip doesn't go directly to the dealer and there is an official process to distribute it, and even that's is restricted.

"Licence condition 10.1.1
Tipping – personal licence holders
All non-remote casino operating licences
1 Licensees must only permit tipping of staff holding personal licences where a tronc system is
operated; that is to say, where all tips are pooled and distributed amongst the employees
concerned. A separate tronc may be operated for each of a number of categories of licensed
staff."

http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/pdf/Latest-LCCP-and-Ext...

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/nimmanual/nim02941.htm

Edit:

It's seems that all tipping was universally disallowed until 2005 (haven't been in a UK casino for about 10 years)

"In the rest of the world, tipping the dealer for success is the norm. In Britain it has become legal (on implementation of the 2005 Gaming Act) and now it is acceptable. It is still however not as commonplace as in other places in Europe or America."

Beyond that it's subject to the 2005 gaming act and the tornc and personal license holders schemes.
As I don't subscribe to the labor theory of value, I don't care how much effort they put in. I care about the value of the results they produce.

To a lesser extent, I also care if any of the manure that they shovel will stick to my heel.

In theory, you should be able to come out ahead by delegating job search to someone who is better at recruiting than anything else, when you are better at software than job-searching, even if you are still better in absolute terms at recruiting than the recruiter. In practice... well, let's just say that specialization only works if the single best thing you can do offers positive value to the market. If your top skill is wasting other people's time, no one is going to hire you for that.

If I follow a law depends on a cost/benefit analysis of breaking the law and how I morally feel about the action. Most laws I never desire to break, so it is not a problem. For those I do, it is a matter of what is the chance of being caught and the penalty, and if I find moral issue with doing that action. Every time you choose to go 58 in a 55, you are doing the same thing.

Suckless Coding Philosophy
> such a cloud would be useless for this application

Either you don't know what is in that DC, or you do. If you don't know what's in the DC, you can't say one way or the other about what it can and can't do. If you do know what's in the DC, then you'd likely be prevented from saying what it's capabilities were or would deny those capabilities publicly if it did possess them. This is why people make tinfoil hats; because they reach cognitive dissonance quickly with logic built around untrusted data.

Because I can't implicitly trust you, or Amazon, or the intelligence agencies, I'm left with the reasoning capabilities I have and trust. Floundering in cognitive dissonance isn't going to get me anywhere in that regard. I'm left with what I know, which is that US agencies pay Amazon a staggering amount of money to run a datacenter for them. I know that AWS itself runs servers with special purpose hardware in them, such as GPUs, and that most of the value in AWS comes from federating systems and providing fault tolerance and easy programmatic access to provisioning. What sits behind all those features is anyone's guess. Amazon does not publicly discuss their relationship with the government, so that's zero help here.

If Amazon wanted to own the world's public cloud AND remain trusted, they should have thought twice about doing a deal with the government. In Germany, this shit wouldn't fly. Companies who provide services to the government there sign special agreements to ensure what services they provide to the government aren't colluded with the services they provide to individuals. It's beyond dumb that we allow this in the US and that the largest cloud provider here is mute in that regard.
Maybe the term is now bloated but there was a time where complex and large was desired.
A pretty good counterpoint to that: Playing an instrument.

Very few people can pick up and play an instrument naturally. The best are the ones that combine a basic musical talent with hours of hard work, in a quest to get to a level where they can "just play".
A digression, but it's amusing how far afield they had to go to find a modern SoC with a IMG GPU (vs. the rest of the world that is to first approximation all Qualcomm, with a few Mali's running around from Samsung). Obviously the real IMG flagship is the Apple A9, but that's not co-branded appropriately.

Yes, a flatter URL structure will likely improve SEO. I've seen this with our SEO consultants on our site. But URL structure is one aspect. Backlinks and quality content are probably more important. And mobile. If your mobile experience isn't up to par, you could be penalized. And speed. Is your site fast? If not, ya, could be penalized, too.

So, the next trade deal after TPP will outlaw reviews, or "examining the internal functioning of entertainment products."

Respect for the law because is a rot that must be removed from society. Respecting a law just because it exists is to shackle our morals and common sense to what those in charge of the law dictate.

>There are causes that merit civil disobedience, but this isn't one of them.

The notion of civil disobedience, especially that of 'to do it, you must break the law and willingly submit yourself to punishment' is another rot. As for actual disobedience, the privatization of our collective culture to an extent that far surpasses rewarding primary contributors is a cause for general disobedience.

Also to note, your paying for movie ticket actually has no end effect because at the end of the day ever movie is a financial disaster. At least for mainstream Hollywood.
I don't understand the pirate right that its not okay to control distribution of an item. I understand the argument against DRM and definitely feel that when I purchase I should of have full ownership of that product. Distribution, however, is a completely different argument. Scarcity is something companies have consistently used to control values of products. Should movie publishers not be allowed to keep movie in theaters before a DvD release. Or gaming companies not allow early access to pre orders?

Ask HN: Establishing content origin/ownership
What are current best practices for establishing ownership of web content.

In particular I am looking at the case where website A authors and posts original content on their site and N sites simply scrape it. The concern being other sites ranking better for content that (a) violates copyright and (b) they did not author.

Does Google use a simple "first to be crawled" process or is there a better way to establish content origin/ownership? Google Authorship, I think, was an attempt to solve this problem. No longer supported. Also, that was linked to a person. It would be more desirable to link it to the site that owns and originated the content.

Any thoughts?
