> > Only if you redefine the word "freedom".

> No. The GPL removes my freedom to sell something that I've created.

That's patently false. Many companies (SUSE and RedHat come to mind) sell free software. The only difference is that you can't create a monopoly of experts in the software you wrote. The business model of free software works through selling support (such as L2, L3 and developer support that can implement features and fix bugs much faster than upstream would).

> This is where I think your entire argument falls apart: Offering users the choice to buy my software is not enslaving them.

The GPL allows you to sell software. That's not how free software works. I believe you may be confused by the word "free". In this context, it refers to freedom, not price. There are quite a few companies that sell free software, and it's disingenuous to claim that they don't exist.

> If commercial software "enslaves" users by simply offering the users a choice to buy the software

Proprietary software, and the choice to "buy software" has nothing to do with the free software movement. Again, free refers to freedom. There are several commercial free software companies.

Proprietary software enslaves users by making them helpless against a developer that may mistreat the user (and the user can't do anything about it).

It would be cooler for airports to have their own attack drones and/or guns and lasers to destroy any drones entering its airspace.

Big business thinks the same way.

Someone took the time to explain FOSS to a Director at the telco I worked at, and he went on a month-long campaign to eliminate it from the entire company, ranting about security, etc. He didn't want me using Firefox on my desktop, because security.

Most of us tried as hard as we could not to laugh in his face, given the entire data center with 500+ VM's is sitting on Linux, and almost all the hundreds of millions of dollars of network elements run some flavor of linux.

Security through Obscurity is just not a great way of going about it. NIST notes "System security should not depend on the secrecy of the implementation or its components."[1]

Kerckhoffs's principle is also a relevant read.

As professor Bellovin notes :

"It helps, I think, to go back to Kerckhoffs' second principle, translated as "The system must not require secrecy and can be stolen by the enemy without causing trouble," per http://petitcolas.net/fabien/kerckhoffs/). Kerckhoffs said neither "publish everything" nor "keep everything secret"; rather, he said that the system should still be secure even if the enemy has a copy."

The pre-2001 airport security apparatus did a good job of keeping guns off planes, eliminating the most common hijacking scenario. Almost everything since then has been increased hassle for diminishing returns, with the most effective improvement being one of the least visible - hardening the cockpit doors.
I think the contract was just for software, probably in addition to installation, roll-out, training, and support.

It works just fine with destructors and finalizers, as this is the underlying implementation of explicit memory allocation. One can build a true type-aware object system on top of it. This is how C++ does it.

Please note that I am talking about techniques for explicit memory management, not garbage collection.
The wages of labour are what supports and enables labour, both in the present, and the future. It is the cost of labour.

A living wage pays for the maintenance of labour. Its feeding, housing, clothing, and education. It pays for the upkeep of a family, and the raising and education of children (the next generation of labour).

Failing to pay a living wage is the same thing as buying any factor of production below cost. While it may return a short-term advantage, it fails to ensure the continuation of supply. Worse, it creates a cascade failure in which ever higher and more skilled ranks of labour find their own wages and compensation falling, that ripples through society.

An enterprise which cannot afford to pay the full cost of its labour isn't a productive economic activity. Or perhaps, it is one which faces significant positive externalities such that its own ability to command compensation is diminished.

An enterprise which can afford to pay the full cost of provisioning labour but which does not is doing nothing more than transferring wealth from that labour pool, or from the public purse if the that purse is then called on to support the labourers, into its owners pockets as profit.

The words are mine, but the ideas are Adam Smiths, very clearly expressed in The Wealth of Nations.

I mentioned the cascade failure. Smith talks at length of the conditions of workers in England (middling), the American colonies (quite good), and in China (exceedingly poor). He notes that it's the growth rather than the size of the economy which seems to promote high wages, which is interesting to consider.

Smith doesn't describe much on how to ensure that labour does earn its fair share, though suggests that the right to organise would be a benefit.

My thoughts are leaning toward not only that but institution of an employer of last resort, with a minimum wage established through same. This would act much as a central bank does as lender of last resourt, but as an endless source of labour demand rather than currency.

The demand might be social projects which cannot themselves command market compensation, or as a market broker for labour (effectively the Mother of All Labour Unions), to which companies could bid on work (the difference coming from the public purse via taxation).

More on this and Smith generally:

There's an old saying: "Beware Software Engineers carrying a screwdriver".

These days it seems to be more true than ever.
An interview is something different from an interrogation. See for example Gen. Alexanders lies to congress. Even after it's been made clear beyond any reasonable doubt that he was lying he goes to conferences and denies that he was lying when heckled about it. He'll deny and then confuse the audience by casting further doubt.
This is really cool! If anyone is interested in easily making a CRM tool to do similar things around list management and bulk mailing (and want control on your environment/stack), I wrote a blogpost on it: http://blog.varunarora.com/how-i-made-a-crm-in-3-hours/
Legally speaking, the source code IS the website. There is no difference. If I were to open up the website in a plain text editor, what would I see? It's the same as for any other program - the license resides in the code, not the 'output'.

As for the website template and CC license, it's not an image or a video. It's a collection of CSS, Js and HTML. It's code.

I'd argue that maybe the template should have a code license like the GPL, and not a CC license. And while I'm aware that the CC license is common for website templates, I'm also sure you could convince most courts that it's not an 'image or video'.

Anyhow, I'm sure this could be solved if the creator of the template asked for a little more recognition. Not dragging this guy through the mud for something that's irrelevant to what he actually created. He's not trying to pass off the website as his own, only the actual project itself, which IS his!!!
I feel like HN's nerd rage at stuff like this (the TSA expenditure) is the same reason many (if not most) engineers make less than they could. It's a very willful denial of a fact of how the world works (large organizations routinely pay large sums for seemingly very simple work).
Do you have some beef with him? I'm not a big fan of this sort of personal attack of someone's character on HN.
These days of course you would be confronted with a lot more that would make it hard to simply deny things:

(c) Video evidence of activity in almost any semi-formal place of work, carpark, ATM, shop, or similar. (Physical surveillance ubiquity)

(d) Probable audio recording of your conversations via hacked cellphone.

According to Wikipedia there have been 6 notable hijackings in the last 5 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_hijackings#20...

There are roughly 100k commercial flights per day, 36m flights per year.

Therefore, the probability of your flight being hijacked is 1 in 30 million, which is an absurdly low number. Note that only one of the 6 hijackings resulted in casualties, so the mortality rate even lower.

"The ME firmware is compressed and consists of modules that are listed in the manifest along with secure cryptographic hashes of their contents. One module is the operating system kernel, which is based on a proprietary real-time operating system (RTOS) kernel called "ThreadX". The developer, Express Logic, sells licenses and source code for ThreadX. Customers such as Intel are forbidden from disclosing or sublicensing the ThreadX source code. Another module is the Dynamic Application Loader (DAL), which consists of a Java virtual machine and set of preinstalled Java classes for cryptography, secure storage, etc. The DAL module can load and execute additional ME modules from the PC's HDD or SSD. The ME firmware also includes a number of native application modules within its flash memory space, including Intel Active Management Technology (AMT), an implementation of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), Intel Boot Guard, and audio and video DRM systems."

Hey Phabricator dev here, would love to see you take a better look at Phabricator as well. I'm not sure that we really "do too much" as our product is guided mostly by the tenants of code quality and developer efficiency. Specifically we feel it better to have these tools all integrated so developers spend more time just building features. Some basic overview for code review would be:

Differential - Pre commit code review

Audit - Post commit code review

Arcanist - command line, patch emitting lint, unit tests (pre commit)

Herald - Custom "business rules" for notifications (cc me on all JS diffs)

Owners - Mark code territory

Harbormaster - Continuous integration

Macro - I mean, code review with memes!

And yes, you can uninstall any application you don't want like Maniphest or Countdown, or sadly even the meme generator.

How being a small company can work to your advantage
I used to be a mutt user back in the day, and it was great at the time, especially when unix/linux lacked anything really better, and there were no iphones or android devices. It was/is the best-in-class console based email client, probably still is.

I can't but help feeling though these days it just doesn't really gain you anything substantive to bother to learn it, or even continue to use it, and spend the hours it will require to dial in and maintain your configuration.

Most gui clients are good enough.. webmail (Gmail and alternatives) are good enough, unless you have some non-negotiable requirement that mandates you have your own self-hosted email servers, I have a hard time believing its not an overall productivity loss to spend time in mutt (or Gnus for emacs, and other such things).

If you like to tinker with that kind of thing, and you like making your email client a hobby of sorts, cool. But what do you really gain other than a techno-bauble to tinker with?

Can I watch Lawrence of Arabia to start?
Sure.

It's not about rulers being cruel. A ruler being cruel to his people doesn't give another foreign power the right to come in and depose that leader by force. An egalitarian anyone would support that concept.

In any case, the Iraq invasion wasn't because Saddam was cruel - although that's definitely the ret-conned justification given that all the other reasons for the invasion turned out to be invalid.

And if being cruel to your people is the yardstick by which you choose to invade other countries, how come the US isn't invading North Korea? Oh that's right, because they don't have oil, there's no family vendetta between the leaders of those countries, there's no visceral national tragedy recently that would allow the government to ride on the back of it and go to war on flimsy pretenses, and lastly because a war with North Korea would most likely draw in China, and that's a sleeping dragon the US would rather let lie.

The semblance of democracy in Iraq has come at the cost of over a hundred thousand lives. I'm not sure how many Iraqis feel they are better off.
That's interesting. The viral Australian "Dumb Ways to Die" video [1] from a couple of years back by Metro Trains Melbourne included a snippet about "doing your own electrical work" which seemed rather incongruous to me as a fairly typical American with a house who doesn't think twice about swapping light switches and such. (Especially given the popular image of self-reliant Australians and all that--however atypical sheep and cattle stations may be of the average resident.) I guess that's the reason.

I don't know about the British intelligence services, but at least in the CIA its very incestious, they recruit people who fit a certain mold, then recruit their children and their grandchildren.

That they have a distorted world view is not surprising (not unlike SV, but without the sobering reality of markets and competition).

40 years after the OSS was superseded by the CIA, the CIA was still actively recruiting the grandkids of OSS employees. They like to keep everything in the family.
The entire problem is that there isn't a single linear measure of performance. It is the same problem one has comparing different CPU designs, but it now applies for every single chip you make.

They can certainly be clustered. But what kind of performance are you buying when you get a $model? Yes, you have another $model on your desk to compare, but the new one does not have the same performance at all. What if the one you already have is a fast one? Then you can not expect the new one to be as fast, and may prefer buying from some other manufacturer.

EDIT: To put it shorter: How do you promise you the chip I'm selling has at least some performance X when I don't have any chip with performance X for you to measure and see what it means?

In addition, everything should have some kind of use without a cloud mode, even if it's not fully featured. E.g.
