The traditional American media control strategy is containment. In this model, discussion is directed around a tiny subset of the issues. The presumed issue here being "Won't Bezos quash articles critical of him?" but that's only for containment purposes. While that merits an amount of debate, the bigger story here is much more interesting. It concerns the potential for intense collaboration between the government and industry, as seen in countries such as Italy during the Berlusconi years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_Berlusconi).

From the article:
"...he bought the newspaper because he wanted to make it into a more powerful national — and even global — publication, and that The Post was well situated to be a watchdog over the leaders of the world’s most powerful country."

This is a strategic move that doesn't have anything to do with classic American values of freedom of speech and access to information. It's about increasing his power, not about journalistic values such as improving the quality of the newspaper, researching stories better, etc. Bezos isn't a career journalist or editor at all. He has no qualifications or experience to perform these functions. His only qualification is wads of money and business leadership. But just like presidency, these don't prepare one for civic leadership. They don't replace historical, world or legal knowledge.

I don't trust how he feels he can suddenly serve as "watchdog" over leaders when he really only has (massively!) large-scale retail experience. It's more likely a Caesar-style move to grab the role of Pontifex to broker power. When he talks about "watchdog over leaders," I feel he means leaders will have to curry favor with him to get topics presented in the proper way, as opposed to using the paper as an instrument for fighting Congress for better working conditions, higher minimum wage, working visa reform, immigration reform, etc.

So, this NYT article follows tightly the trend of containment outlined by Chomsky and Zinn, in which discussion is focused by presentation of minor, distracting points in order to draw energy away from the more salient points. The minor point being the newspaper's ability to criticize its own editor. The larger point being a business leader steering the publication of information toward large-scale corporate ends and away from classic American values.
Why don't you just license it under a single free software license and call it a day? Why say "you have an infinite set of dual licenses"? If you really, really really don't care just use CC0.

I don't understand your focus on the "concept of licensing". It's such an odd thing to focus on with such vigour. In my mind, a license is a tool that allows me to ensure that users of my software have freedoms that they deserve. Some people use it as a tool for oppressing users. But licenses are a tool, simple as that. They are a consequence of copyright law. Copyright licenses have literally nothing to do with property rights (you can't put a copyright license on a goat or a piece of land).
Your statement generates a declaration about who shouldn't be N for all N that have declarations about them, hence barring you from doing pretty much anything... including making statements about who shouldn't be N?

knieveltechs' Paradox...
The payments in question were legal at the time: they were from countries that did not have sanctions against Iran to Iran.

The Americans took a novel position in that case: that because the payments were denominated in dollars and were processed by computers in New York, American sanctions should apply to foreign payments. They then proceeded to punish HSBC for "evading sanctions" that didn't actually exist. It did achieve one thing though: it sent a powerful message that US law is in fact international law.

Saying "Mexican banks should have been high risk instead of low risk" is the kind of subjective judgement call that highlighst my entire point. Maybe the high risk category was reserved for places like Congo or Nigeria or Pakistan, and Mexico - being a relatively stable state that engages in heavy trade with America - did not justify the same level of scrutiny as those.

My logic is very simple. The laws are so vague that any kind of activity can be retroactively labelled as 'suspicious' and thus illegal. But that is not the rule of law.

Your final paragraph shows you didn't understand what I wrote at all. HSBC is absolutely guilty of violating AML laws, as are all other banks, and if they went to court then a whole lot of bankers would have gone to prison for a long time ... just for engaging in the business of banking. This is not in the best interests of society because we then might find ourselves without banks, and neat though such a world might seem, we'd need an alternative first.

The public apology was a part of the plea bargain struck with the US Gov. They were forced to do it. You'd do the same if the alternative was spending the rest of your life rotting in jail.

This was the biggest move which Dr. King was calling for in his fight for civil rights, a year before he was assassinated.

>We must rapidly begin [applause], we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered. A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. On the one hand we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life’s roadside, but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life’s highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see than an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. [applause]

Can someone explain the correlation between the new Panama Canal coming online and the need to scrap ships?

For an eye opener into the horrid industry of ship scapping google "Chitagong Ship Breaking." Basically they hall them into a ship yard in Bangladesh and pay people peanuts to risk their lives dismantling this tonnage by hand. People die all the time. Its a disaster in many different ways. It's everything that's bad about globalization.

Absolutely. Consider the fact that an AED only has one lead to work with, and it is able to recognize a couple different lethal arrhythmias in order to deliver a shock (and more importantly, _not_ deliver a shock at any other time).

To be clear, by "lead" here, I mean a pair of electrodes. A single electrode (like you might put on a watch) is useless.

Five Ways to Organize Agile Teams
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/content/how-participate-linux... is a reasonable overview of the development process, as is the canonical SubmittingPatches (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches)

A very quick overview:

* Linus Torvalds is the only person who can commit code to Linux mainline.

* Individual subsystem maintainers maintain their own git trees, e.g. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.g....

* Patches are emailed to subsystem mailing lists (using git send-email, usually), reviewed by the community, and potentially resubmitted a few times to respond to community feedback. (There is also the infamous Linux Kernel Mailing List which is generally used for patches that have wider effects, new drivers, stuff that doesn't fall neatly into a subsystem...) Often tracked using tools like Patchwork (e.g. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/)

* As a result of this, each individual developer generally maintains a tonne of branches for themselves - they work independently of anyone else.

* Kernel has quite strict requirements for how patches/commits are formatted - as per SubmittingPatches

* Maintainers apply patches to their own tree (potentially with their own modifications if needed). They often use a structure like a "next" branch for patches intended for the next release cycle, and a "fixes" branch for bugfixes which can be included in the next RC release.

* Maintainers generally email a pull request (git request-pull) to Linus when they want changes merged. Linus reviews and ACKs/NAKs them.

* Linus will only accept new features during the 2 week "merge window" that immediately follows each new kernel version. Following the merge window, rc1 is released, and from then a new rc is released every week until rc7 or rc8 (at Linus' discretion) - only bugfixes or very minor things accepted during this time.

* In the meantime, each maintainer has their own git tree, and someone has to try to integrate them together for testing purposes. That someone is Stephen Rothwell, who merges everyone's -next branches 5 days a week and releases linux-next (http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next....) as a snapshot of what the next kernel release will look like.

So there's quite little centralised infrastructure involved in this process apart from a few things on kernel.org. There's ~1500 developers involved in each kernel release across dozens of companies. As you can probably guess, there's a lot of cherry-picking, rebasing, and so on involved in all this.

> What has occurred between 710 and 720 is change.

As you note, the changes should be minimal. i.e. the versions should be compatible. By changing the names, you are creating massive change, in order to bludgeon users of your library with the knowledge that there might be minor changes in it.

This is counter-productive.

> Swapping a library version under the hood is by that view not good practise.

And re-naming everything is?

Please, get over yourself. Your practice runs counter to 40 years of computer engineering. There are hundreds of thousands of Open Source projects which keep consistent names across minor releases.

Either they're all wrong, every one of the millions of developers, or you are wrong.

I think my review ends here. You're clearly in the camp of "I know better than everyone else".

Traditionally there was zero stigma attached to having a beer in the "Kneipe" in Germany, especially for the working class typically living in small flats.
There is a widespread belief (real or perceived) that he has turned the newspaper into effectively a SuperPac for a specific candidate (to help them in the primary and general).

But what is definitely true is that the quality at the Washington Post has taken a nose dive. They often post click-bait headlines with thin articles that are first to market but now often contain mistakes or misinformation.

The Washington Post used to be one of the most trusted papers in the country, with long wordy articles, that appeared later than others but were able to give you the whole story rather than just knee jerk early reactions.

It always had a liberal/democrat bias. But not quite this bad and not quite for one specific candidate over others.
I'd wager that there's another reason why big projects are usually pretty successful in Switzerland; time - and budget wise:

Political legitimacy, signed off by popular referendum.

When you look north to our German neighbors, with a comparable work ethos and certainly a fair understanding of engineering you see projects go south again and again. Be it Stuttgart 21 (the new train station), or that horrible mess that is the airport Berlin Brandenburg.

Such projects usually require popular support via referendum in Switzerland. That means that if it is voted through this implies that the necessary capital investments are spoken for and that the project is legitimized via public support.

This also means that if the government changes they can't just massage budget positions and siphon funds of such projects for political expedience, or other reasons.

Legitimacy also avoids public resistance against the projects as it happened in Stuttgart and which almost killed the project (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttgart_21#Debate_and_opposi...).

That's not to say that all big projects in Switzerland work like a charm. But political legimacy and honest budgeting that comes with it seem major factors that such projects are succesful more often than not.
I can agree with your last statement. Unfortunately, due to liability and insurance reasons, "generic venues for doing stuff" are pretty expensive and unavailable. I help organize a local group of game players and by far finding an inexpensive (by this I mean under $120/day) venue willing to unlock their doors for 50-60 people on a weekend is one of our biggest ongoing challenges. There are lots of businesses that don't operate on the weekend and have to maintain their empty office for 2 days a week--you'd think they'd be open to renting a conference room out for some extra $$ but nope--if someone trips and falls, it's suddenly a money loser for them.

Also, as far as I can tell, there's not really a marketplace for these kind of "single-day activity space" rentals, so I mostly trawl through Cragslist and pound pavement looking for HOA clubhouses and cheap hotel conference centers. There's your next start-up idea: AirBNB for temporary office space on the weekend.
I'd guess the power use is on the high side for a phone.
As an Ex-Christian, I miss the "third place" but I do not miss the church. I don't know where to get that same idea for my kids but I also don't want them growing up with a belief in the doctrine I grew up with. I also have strong feelings about what religions my child is exposed to. I don't mind him being exposed to multiple religions, but there are certain religions I would consider secondary and don't want to be his primary exposure.

I'm fairly alone in this, and I say Ex-Christian to indicate I'm not Atheist but I don't know if that's true. Anyway, this is something I've been struggling with a lot. I just spent 3 hours last night talking to a Power salesman, because we had a good time chatting and I don't get that outside my friends and work. There is no forced place for me to talk to acquaintences.

Honestly, if I didn't disagree so strongly with the theology of the LDS (Mormon) church I'd go back to that. They are FANTASTIC for kids, parents, events, etc. They instill great morals (other than homophobia and some other things I disagree with). But they are in general very nice people.

So where do I go for a "third place" without God being involved, but I still get the, "hey man we missed you last week, where were you." and "Have you given your money to God lately?"

Sorry this struck a nerve, and I'm almost ready to go back to the LDS church just so Sam has people he knows but to try to counter the Theology by exposing him to other beliefs as well. IDK.

HN is a young people echo chamber, yet not entirely, and I can assure you from personal experience and observation of peers that a successful twenty year marriage involves remarkably little romance, although keeping a little going is nice. I think there's a lot of young people with soon to be broken expectations who think that marriage means every night is romantic date night. Most life is muddling thru.

The problem, as others have said, is the accompanying theology i.e. Magical bullshut.

I believe, however, we would do well as a civilization to study what The Church (capital letters on purpose) has done well in the last 2000 years, strip it of magic and veiled class dynamics, and rebuild it for the social good.

The thing is, when adherence to a community is enforced (even if just through social pressure), you'll get a lot of uncommitted people who might even wish they would share the values, but don't.

Atheists as a whole might be less likely to share a system of values, but those who sought and joined such an organization of their own volition (and not because their family dragged them to church every Sunday) are extremely likely to shared its values.
If you're not interested in the woo, you could always try the Secular Humanist Society or other similar rationalist local groups that don't preach religiosity.

Actually, copying other IP has been seen as low hanging fruit, as it was for many other economies at that stage of development (Japan post WW2, America in the late 1800s as the industrial revolution was starting in the UK). Chinese VCs preferred "copy successful ideas from west" ideas because they were much lower risk for their capital.

It is just that the low hanging fruits are now almost all picked. Hopefully they are reaching their Walkman moment.
