"3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

If I sell a computer with Linux on it, and I bundle on my own application that's compiled to run on Linux, am I required to make the source code for that application available?

In this case, if they just have an unmodified copy of Linux to provide the run-time environment for their nav system or whatever, and the nav system itself is an application on top of it, I don't know if it follows that they need to release the source for their nav system.
They recently had a petition that was partially responsible for getting Mars Chocolate to stop using artificial colorants. The organizers went this route instead of a boycott and is a good example of how the different tools can reach a similar goal.

You can repeat that as often as you want, but it simply isn't true. It's post hoc, ergo propter hoc reasoning: we see low rates in times of trouble, therefore low rates caused the trouble?

Exactly. So whatever return you aren't earning on your capital, I'm saving on my use of that capital.
Engineering aside, you could perhaps position this shadow strategically over some place that is uninhabited and which wouldn't cause too much weirdness in our climate. Or perhaps many small shadows. My guess would be that you would want them over the oceans. Or maybe Kim Jong-un's house.

Alternatively, if geostationary is too high up, perhaps just wrap them at a particular latitude near the equator, spaced out so they just make an effect like a perpetually cloudy day. You then just have to keep your solar panels and needy crops off that latitude.
Exactly correct, there is the story in Mark 12:43 "Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on." which a lot of people learned in Sunday school that teaches the "size" of the gift doesn't count as much as the "sacrifice" of the gift.

Some people internalized that to mean that gifts without sacrifice were worthless, but that was, in my opinion, the wrong take away. Every gift and every kindness has value, regardless of how hard it is to give. Its impact however can be moderated somewhat by the amount of sacrifice behind it.

And as most people also recognize that failing to provide the kindness when the sacrifice is minimal, is its own kind of problem.
I'm pretty certain they don't distribute source code with cars though, so seeing as the author didn't say "I don't own the car" - and they didn't ask - I think that's moot.

Generally speaking, they will definitely read them (and occasionally take action), but only respond if they have some legal obligation to do so.

Well, its why adherence to the semantics of the HTTP spec (which this behavior is an example of failing) is important: POST is not defined to be idempotent, so nothing should act by default as if POSTs are repeatable.

Isolation and integration are not opposites. You can increase isolation (through e.g. judicious application of cgroups, which systemd encourages and makes use of) while also increasing integration (e.g. sharing APIs).

Docker is to me far more problematic when it comes to integration. It is trying to make everything go through itself, without providing a fraction of the scheduling and management capabilities that systemd does. Of of the motivations for Rocket is exactly that it allows for a far less monolithic experience than Docker - even when integrated with systemd.

I think BMW would argue that contributing their modifications directly to the ConnMan Git repository for others to use would suffice. You can find a list of BMW's commits to the ConnMan project here (Daniel Wagner seems to be the main developer from BMW Car IT working on it):

From the few days I ever did API design (as a trainee, not even employee yet), idempotence is one of the first things you encounter when looking for general design and it definitely came into view for me. Then again I'm not the average student, but still.
I for one encourage our new adblock paywall overlords. To extrapolate this idea further... How much more blatant could you be in saying, "To us, the ads are more important than the content." Which inevitably progresses toward better ads and worse content... It is a perverse thing to do, but a useful filter bubble imposed by the content providers themselves. Likely far more accurate than my own ability to judge the quality of the content in the long term in most cases.
Quote from the conclusion:

"""Extrapolating these results from even the most conservative experimental measurements of the tension under which cavitation occurs it is possible that the cohesive strength of fully degassed water is able to support a continuous vertical column greater than several hundred meters. While the experiment performed here did not reach anywhere near the absolute limit predicted it does shed light on the stability of flowing water under tensile stress and the possibility of constructing apparatus of suitable dimensions to test such a limit. (...) In view of the many anomalies of bulk water, it would be interesting to explore the physical properties of water in the negative pressure regime of a siphon above 10 m."""

So, as long as we don't break the water column by bubbles (or other impurities in the water that will lead to formations of bubbles on their surface) we could empty the Mosul dam via a siphon.

That's a fascinating result! We only have to remove the rocks, the fish and put the dam under high-vacuum for outgassing for a few weeks ;-). If we don't do that, the old atmospheric pressure model holds, and the siphon will be limited to 10 metres, 30 ft.
Are you saying the SIP runs on the best hardware/software available? I want to get that cleared up before moving on to a new topic.

>"Second order effects. Interests rates are not low in a vacuum."

Uh, no. My mortgage is inarguably cheaper due to low rates. So is my car payment.

Is it possible that the price of the asset I'm borrowing against is higher because low rates are inflating asset prices? Possibly. It depends where I live and when I bought my house. If I just re-fi'd at lower rates, it's cheaper, period. Besides that, the inflated price shows up as an asset on my personal balance sheet.

These second-order effects are relevant, but not substantial.

From the wikipedia entry:

"Should" is as strong as you can go with that statement. Not all POSTs can be idempotent. Nginx has to deal with that in the general case.
> A race shouldn't matter so long as both succeed at least once; that would have the same effect as if either/both had succeeded multiple times.

Idempotence only means that the same single method repeated additional times on its own will not produce different end states. It doesn't necessarily guarantee this for combinations of methods in different orderings.

It doesn't stop PUT/DELETE/PUT/DELETE from having different results than PUT/DELETE/DELETE/PUT to the same resource. (You can do assure that these are equivalent in a particular HTTP-compliant application, but it goes beyond the base semantics of HTTP to do so.)
I'd do another site if it were me for American sports and leave the football as it is since it's doing so well.

Yes, but that is just the ConnMan development repository. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think BMW would need to redistribute the exact version of ConnMan that they used, including any modifications made. At least a deep link to a branch or tag would be nice.

I think the term 'fully control' is tricky in hiding 'gotchas'.

Does 'full control' of sensory reality imply a pre-condition of being locked into a near-sight helmet where the eye muscles are limited to only focus on an object right infront of them for (possibly) many hours at a time? Questions for 2020 i suppose.
Oculus has exclusives because they partner with developers, offering money and support. Vive has exclusives because there's stuff you can do with the Vive's native VR controllers that you simply can't with the Rift's Xbox One controller.

When Oculus releases its Touch controllers (hopefully before the end of the year?) you might see Vive titles ported over to Rift. Movement in the other direction depends on what terms and conditions are in the contracts studios agreed to sign.

"Besides that, the inflated price shows up as an asset on my personal balance sheet."

Until interest rates go up and it deflates again. That's not a reliable asset.

With all due respect, you really don't know what you're talking about here. Your model of economics is too linear and static.
Not sure I can distill it to a single 'taboo', but the SSD revolution is definitely upending a lot of conventional wisdom about storage and how it must be used.

With SSDs:

- Read and write are radically faster and will get faster still

- Seek time does not exist

- Fragmentation is irrelevant

- Concurrent random access is at least technically possible, at least to far enough regions that they reside on different physical flash units/sections of the chip.

In short: it's slower non-volatile RAM.

The next generation of SSD will be wired into the DRAM bus, presenting itself to the OS not as a "drive" (drive buses will be gone) but as a non-volatile region of RAM.

That's going to radically change how we do storage in lots of ways and probably upend dozens of "taboos." Here's a few predictions:

- Obsolescence of read/write based file IO APIs in favor of mmap() for all persistent objects. Everything is "memory." Files are memory, objects are memory, etc. There are just different types of memory: RAM, fast NV, slow NV. (Slow NV would be spinning disk or remote storage.)

- Obsolescence of byzantine caching schemes... just access stuff.

- As a side effect of these: obsolescence of database queries/responses. Instead data will just be accessed as variables in your code with no intermediate layers. The productivity gain will be insane.

Also... I am the author of the IPv6 notation post on the ZeroTier blog. I never thought a little gripe with some suggested alternative ideas would get over a million hits in two days. Guess I hit some kind of nerve. :P

>you will be less convinced that low interest rates have been helpful.

So the fact that I'm paying less interest AND the value of the asset has increased isn't helpful?

Again, I'm not making the argument that low rates are "good"; I'm saying they're good for me.

Depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to obtain the source code in this specific instance, and if you don't care about the efforts of open source contributors, then I guess it would make sense to privately "discuss" and "cooperate" with BMW.

On the other hand, if you want to scare companies into not stealing other people's work in the future, then I think naming and shaming is a reasonable strategy.

This is a clear case of rationalization about rules not applying to the powerful. Surely you would not expect BMW to care about "burning bridges" and value "cooperation" and "discussion" with you had they caught you stealing their IP.
So if the Oculus SDK integrated well with something like the Microsoft Kinect - things would perhaps be on more equal footing?

This brings up an interesting point; which BMW might try to make if this ever goes to court.

There have been times when device manufacturers (and car manufacturers) attempt to prevent device owners from modifying the code on their own devices. I think once folks tried to drag the DMCA into it. There's a lot of muddling up of the ownership waters there.

This may mean that the ownership of the binaries can be similarly challenged. Somehow. A point can be made that a binary living inside a phone (or car) I have bought has not been "given" to me (and thus the source code need not be given to me either).

Granted, it's rather convoluted logic, but then again, this isn't the first time stuff like this has happened.

Would be interesting to see how such an argument actually pans out.
Yeah we don't need Russian "taste" in space. As someone who's traveled there, they have very different ideas on whats socially acceptable. Big ads/lights in the sky might be fine there, but certainly not everywhere. This is the kind of thing we should all be fighting against, not encouraging with "me too" upvotes on social media. This is simply space graffiti. The commercialization of space should not mean the ad-ification of space.

As launch prices drop, I think we'll see more of these shenanigans. This really should be stopped now.
