VLC re-licensed their project and they had 300 authors.

When people talked about the feasibility of re-license linux to gplv3 (as a thought experiment), people talked about several thousands of authors under the time period of almost 30 years. Several of them are dead.

But the discussion here also lack a significant detail; the target license for which ZFS would switch to. Commenters here on HN has said (unsourced) that the original developers has expressed an opinion that it all would be better if ZFS would be Apache licensed. That way it would be compatible with both GPLv2 and CDDL licensed contributions, and everyone would stop bugging ZFS about it.
You're joking, right?

Ever notice how people prefer to walk on streets that have storefronts?

Based on your comment, I went to the Simple English wikipedia page for Hegel just for laughs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Wilhelm_Friedrich_Hegel

"Hegel's principal achievement is his development of a distinctive articulation of idealism sometimes termed "absolute idealism,"[8] in which the dualisms of, for instance, mind and nature and subject and object are overcome. His philosophy of spirit conceptually integrates psychology, the state, history, art, religion, and philosophy..."

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Wilhelm_Friedrich_He...

"He started Hegelianism and is a part of German Idealism. He influenced many writers and philosophers, including those who agreed with him (Bradley, Sartre, Küng, Bauer, Stirner, Marx), and those who did not agree with him (Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schelling). Hegel's books are difficult to read and deal with many different ideas at the same time. He has written about history, politics, religion, art, logic and metaphysics."
Well Danese Cooper, who wrote the thing, said she was deliberately made to author it to be incompatible.

I don't understand this line of reasoning, where somebody can say, "person A at Sun says it was intentional", then somebody else says, "person B at Sun says it wasn't intentional", and then acts as if that settles the matter.

All it means is that there's contention about it at best.

... and whether it was intentional or not doesn't affect what the text actually says.
Can you explain the image and what it's trying to show? That the number of text links should be more than the number of image links to well known sites? I'm asking because I do something similar on my site, solveforall.com, but to a much lesser degree of course.
Simultaneous Discovery of Vulnerabilities
The single "zfs.ko" file that contains the ZFS kernel module is derived from both the ZFS sources and the Linux kernel sources, because you need the Linux kernel sources to link a module with the Linux kernel.

(Actually I think you just need the headers, but those are GPLv2 anyway, so the distinction is irrelevant.)

From the perspective of a current CMU student: the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) here is the responsible party here. Note that they are separate from the main ("academic") school of CS. They are a federally-funded research and development center, essentially a computing-focused contractor and consultant for the DoD (see more here: http://www.sei.cmu.edu/about/organization/workingwithanFFRDC...).

So, in short, the people at the SEI sleep as well as the people at Raytheon or Lockheed Martin that build the drones, or the folks at Alcatel-Lucent who helped the NSA way back, or maybe even the guys way back at Los Alamos. It's not like some grad students or CS professor got strong-armed into doing this. It's literally their job to do this kind of work for the DoD and other government offices. While the ethics of this line of work are certainly up for debate, they knew exactly what they were getting into.

Could you expand on "form input fields are rudimentary"? (I know they are, I'm wondering what part of this you're referring to). Is it the styling, lack of selection support, lack of HTML5 input fields, bugs, or something else? (I might be looking into improving these later)

The "go back" crash is something that can be fixed easily; I think we know why it happens but haven't fixed it yet (I forgot the reason though).
Just my thought.
The author is a critic of continuous limit-order book markets for what seems to be a different reason: as the interval at which things trade constricts, correlations can break down between things that should be priced 1:1.

His best example is ES and SPY, two different ways to trade the S&P500.

There's a straightforward high-frequency arbitrage strategy to deploy against that problem: if ES or SPY is "mispriced", trade in offsetting amounts, in the expectation that the correlation will be restored (as it must eventually be). In Budish's view, this trading is a needless cost that doesn't improve price discovery.

I'll just say, that's not IEX's argument against HFT.

When looking for a good read I most certainly do not start at Amazon...

Rather, I look through lists of the major literary prize winners and select something from them...

Pulitzer Prize Winners, National Book Award winners, Pen Faulkner Award for Fiction winners, Man Booker Prize winners...just to name a few...

I've yet to be disappointed, even when the topics are somewhat outside my everyday interests and hobbies...

The dismissive exaggeration with which this comment describes the topic seems to indicate a hostile disdain that I find confusing, all the more for how common it seems to be.

I think it might have to do with how it's the aggression itself that were being called on to remove.
I believe the author is angry at how many people in the author/publishing world flout this "bug" as a way to fool possible customers rather than the bug itself. He mentions working with a lot of NYT best-sellers and I can imagine it would be frustrating for people to claim they are on the same level after doing something like this.
There's an idea used in crypto commonly called "reasonable security". Anything is possible given an computationally unbounded adversary, but the point of strong crypto is to make it such that cracking the crypto takes an "unfeasible amount" of time. Crypto isn't some spectrum like waterproofing is, it's binary: either broken or it's "will be broken".
Yes, but we don't know how to secure an internet forum in that sense.

I doubt many non-HTTP/2 implementations will keep connections open and continually check for more data - why wait and read for Response(s) if no Requests were sent? Let alone an HTTP version sent they do not understand.

This engine appears to burn gasoline rather than diesel fuel. I suspect the compression must be much higher to ignite gasoline than is required for diesel.

The link you provided does not back up your claim. All it says is that research is happening.

My point is you shouldn't dismiss a consensus algorithm that has not yet been formalized/described. It may be possible, it may be impossible, but keep an open mind.
If you express your domain code in the language yourself, users still have to learn and understand what you have done.

What you write in a language has its own de facto language, whether you capture its conventions in a notation or not.

Simply knowing the elements of the language in which that work is done isn't enough. Otherwise you could just memorize a language reference manual and call yourself a software engineer.

Or could just argue that since the program in any modern language is written in UTF-8, and the users know that already, they have nothing to learn.

It's probably because in algol derived languages -- when you encounter parentheses, something weird is happening -- something you've got to put extra thought into.

Maybe the ordering of something is being forced. Maybe something else is going on, but whatever it is requires more thought than things that are parentheses free.

So you look at Lisp and your brain locks up the brakes, with "WTF is going on here??? I'm out".
Not quite. The engine discussed in this article is almost the reverse of BMW's engine design. The crankshafts (where the rotational movement is transferred to the gear box) would be where the heads of the BMW engine are located. This means the explosion causing the rotational movement is at the centre of the engine, and keeps heat loss to a minimum. That's partly how they're going to get such high efficiency out of this design. The other way is the (I'm guessing) massive compression ratio they'll need to achieve for the auto-ignition of gasoline to occur.
> I then stated that IF

I kept that "if" in my wording. I disagree with the line of logic. No matter what you think of the premise.

> (since anyone who wanted non-compliance would just binary kernel module everything)

Even if binary modules made you immune to the GPL, there are a lot of things the GPL would still do. It would not be toothless. On top of that, the issue here is binary modules that questionably derive from open source code. If you make a binary module that unambiguously derives from open source code, that would still be an easy question for the courts. That's why this is an edge case that remains an edge case, even in an alternate reality where the courts literally cannot decide on zfs.ko or nvidia.ko

Any watch can be breached by water, given enough time and pressure. Most watches would not survive very long at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Similarly, most watches would not survive a few centuries in a shallow pool, even if rated for much deeper immersion.

Although no watch can be absolutely waterproof, not even at a given depth, there are levels of risk one can accept. A watch you can use at 100m for several hours a day is effectively waterproof if that's the harshest treatment the watch will receive.

Similarly, although no cryptographic system is absolutely unbreakable^, there are levels of risk one can accept. And, unlike with watches, we can design cryptographic systems which, except in the face of unforeseen mathematical breakthroughs, or bugs (or backdoors) in their implementation, cannot be broken in the next few hundred years even by a nation state-level attacker.

I think is it reasonable to describe a cryptographic system that can't be broken within the lifetime of anyone alive today as "unbreakable".

^ Except maybe one-time-pads, depending upon how "unbreakable" is defined.

Sad to see companies like this go. The founder stated in the article above that the cost of the data being expensive was part of the demise, I wonder if croud-sourced solutions such as https://flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml/ (FlightAware) was ever used. That said any time I walk into an FBO or look on the screens for arriving or departing flights in general aviation, FlightAware data is the only thing I see people use. It could be because FlightAware owns the data (which is crowdsourced in a similar fashion to WeatherUnderground stations) they provide a service that Just Landed simply can't compete with.

As with anything in Travel outside of actual aviation aspects these types of services such as just landed, to me, feel more like Value Ads than core products. I personally just use google to track the flight of an arrival and can do it from my phone's browser by typing the flight number in a google search box.

An elegant demonstration of a technique that works for most products on Amazon. Isn't it incredible how virtually every product you look at on Amazon is a #1 best seller in its category? At the very least, it'll be in the top 15. They only sell the best-possible products on there, right? Oh, it's only because the categories are so endlessly varied--er, "precise," that each one conveniently only has 8-15 products in it.
Microsoft, Google, Facebook Back Apple in Blocked Phone Case
>But Yahoo has their own search engine.

No they don't. They're a front-end for Bing search (at least until 2019 and in everywhere but Japan, which IIRC is a front-end for Google), but that's being nitpicky. :)

FWIW I've always had an issue with companies being punished for simply being better than alternatives. That includes Microsoft's advertising IE, even if IE at the time wasn't the best browser. People were free to use IE to download a better browser, so I never saw the issue with providing IE as a default. Linux was free, they were free to buy a computer, set it up themselves, and install Linux on it. The fact that they weren't choosing to do so should not result in Microsoft being punished.

However my beliefs and precedent set by previous law (even if it isn't legal precedent?) is still enough to have Google play it cautiously. Especially since there has been threat of such lawsuits if they were caught playing with their search results to advertise themselves and "kill off" competitors.
And don't forget the added value of disarming these guns' intended targets i.e. citizens.
You're not understanding my problem. You modeled security against a certain attack by picking one particular distribution of queries and saying "we resist this attack this much with this query distribution". An attacker doesn't need to choose the query distribution for your result to not apply, it just needs to be any other possible distribution than the one you chose.
Well making guns illegal was always going to be about as effective as making meth illegal. And with the same side effects, like making black market sociopaths, like Lee, rich and powerful.
perhaps people should've stopped messing about with ZFS a long time ago. it's always been known that licensing problems exist, yet people toil away as if they'll magically disappear - all they do is make Oracle product offerings stronger. if Oracle is happy to attack Google, they're sure as hell fine with the much smaller Canonical.
LibreSSL can't be used everywhere OpenSSL is currently used. Notably (and intentionally) missing is FIPS 140-2 support, which most (almost all?) commercial product that uses OpenSSL will rely upon for selling a FIPS 140-2 compliant or validated product.

Personally, I find Network Security Services (NSS) much better designed than OpenSSL/LibreSSL and wish more things would use it. Notably better is the use of an actual database to store objects. This really helps when you are using certificate revocation lists (CRLs) which may be huge blobs that change frequently.
I believe that your parent was asking if WebRender could be used in WebKit, not Servo.
Yeah, this works for me by just clicking "Search Instead for Amazone" - it even remembers it next time for me - I also was easily able to strip out Amazon results by adding -Amazon to the query.
> The owners of CDDL-licensed code aren't complaining about a CDDL violation

That may be true for the authors of ZFS (and I don't know that it is, but we can agree to accept that it might be true). There are people, though, that when looking for a license to use when releasing their software specifically choose one that is known to be incompatible with the GPL. Among them are people who go with the CDDL.

Saying that we should ignore the license text and treat the CDDL as compatible affects more than just the authors of the project we're talking about.

And if the authors of the code in question are really okay with it being combined with the GPL, then at any time they can make that explicit offering it under a license that is widely accepted to be compatible.
WebRender doesn't accelerate SVG. It's certainly a potential future area to work on, though.
The GPL makes an explicit distinction between source distribution and binary distribution. Are you saying a judge would reject that distinction? Would the judge find that simply having the source code to both the Linux kernel and ZFS on the same machine at the same time was a violation?
Thanks very much Sam. It has been a long time, 2011! How've you been? Still in SF?
I think your answer shows how you are already narrowing and then differing to an authority to give you scope. Relative to you, that might seem like creation, but its actually just following through on a pre-planed, however vague, agenda. This is common among military-mindset types who scope out the problem they can't process and then claim to have solved it. They are rightly trained to ignore what is "above their pay grade."

The "higher pay grade" problem a team must solve in your example is to shift a popular mindset in a region to inspire them to create elections, not keep the city safe while elections occur as assigned from your superior officer.

These teams need to decide the human social agenda, not just the strategy and execution of one given to them.
