The recent problem isn't the decay rate of RF but the cost of noise attenuation per dollar.

A legal switching power supply in a PC might knock out all AM radio reception on the same desktop. That's because the mfgr installed $5 worth of inductors and bypass capacitors in the power supply input section. So maybe 500 watts output, 4.999 watts of noise gets turned into heat by those interference filters, and 0.001 watts messed up the AM radio on the same desktop.

(edited to add BTW if you think your cheap switching power supply is 99% efficient I have a bridge to sell you... the actual numbers are worse)

The problem is those inductors and capacitors and ferrite cores are $5 of "lost" profit in China, and technically the power supply works with them replaced by pieces of copper wire. So the same 500 watts output, and 5 watts of noise broadcast into the neighborhood. Well, at least its not turned into heat inside the chassis, LOL. The problem is a 5 watt transmitter is going to knock out AM radio for some city blocks in every direction.

In the 30s your average house had like one piece of electronics, probably an old console radio. But now houses are full of electronic junk from China so you're battling pretty much everyone who wants to get the lowest priced XYZ from walmart. Like some forms of pollution, RF interference is virtually impossible to clean up and the biggest violators have a significant payoff, higher profits at the factory and cheaper products on the shelf, or some continuum along that spectrum anyway.

A good analogy would be trying to organic garden in an urban environment surrounded by pollution and pesticide spraying. You might not be dumping god knows what into your dirt, but your neighbors simply don't care and are constantly spraying or dumping who knows what, and you share the environment so even if per UDSA your dirt is legally organic because YOU didn't mess it up, you still know its a regular toxic brew in there because of your neighbors ...

Do you know that according to copy rights, open source projects are mess. Nobody tried it in the court, but if some developer contributing to project went to court saying "This part of code is mine, I don't want it to be modified by other people", then the project could be in trouble. Nobody tried that (yet).

That's why some OS projects require signing Developer Certificates of Origin etc.

I can't talk about the EU level, but in Germany merchands can legally sell goods that exceeded the Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum (best before) if they're certain that the goods are not dangerous. So they could sell honey past the date. Food (or medication for that matter) that has reached the Verfallsdatum (expiry date) can't be sold.

The best before date on canned goods is more of an indicator that the beans haven't fallen apart completely or the peach still tastes somewhat like peach. I somewhat doubt that canned goods are the primary driver of food waste on a distribution-chain level. They're usually good for a couple of years, any supermarket that can't sell its stock of canned beans in that time frame will go out of business.
Wait, you are arguing the fact that California's criminal statutory rape law has a conclusive presumption that a sexual act but someone under 18 is not voluntary while it's child support laws do not and let that be a question of fact for a court to resolve is "misandry in the harassment laws", and use as your strongest evidence a case where an adult woman was convicted of a felony for what was legally established in the subsequent support case to be, in fact, mutually voluntary intecourse?

There's certainly an inconsistency between two laws there, but it's hard to see that as an example of misandry, and, since neither of the laws involved is a harassment law, harder to see it as misandry in the harassment laws.

>developers don't have to assign copyright to the FSF for it to be an official GNU project

This is correct, but it's up to the maintainer to decide if their project will require copyright assignment from all contributors or not. I send patches to a couple of GNU projects, Guile and Guix. Guile requires copyright assignment, Guix does not.

Assigning copyright to the FSF is very much unlike assigning copyright to a for-profit company. The terms that you sign and agree to with the FSF are very reasonable and they protect the developer from having the license changed should the FSF be taken over by people that would want to abuse your contributions.

You guys are basically arguing over Moore's here-is-one-hand problem.

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

pavelrub's point is that you sometimes have less reason to believe the axioms of your formalization than their derived consequences. We have better reason to believe the intuitive idea that 2+2=4 than we do any putative axioms of arithmetic. If we derived that 2+2=5 from some particular axioms of arithmetic, we would conclude those axioms were wrong (or rather, were not the proper system for formalizing 2-plus-2-ness) rather than conclude that 2+2=5.

Pure black is never lighter than any shade of red, by any definition of "dark" or "lightness" that I'm aware of. The point here is that again the words "dark" didn't come into language from some rigorous theory of color - the process is reversed. A theory of color can never show that red is darker than black, because this would simply be a misuse of the word "darker", in the same way that no valid axiomatization of the naturals can possibly show that 2+2 != 4.

I feel like this kind of attitude belies that everyone has a different idea of obvious, and that this kind of self-assured confidence is what froze geometry until about 100 years ago.

Realizing that axioms were switches to be turned on and off to generate new structures that may or may not be useful was an important step to abandoning the most obvious and intuitive truths of geometry. Thus geometry has no concept of true outside of axioms, and true simply means internally coherent. Outside of formalization, "obviously true" is the hindrance of confidence.

Herein is the problem. This observation of yours needs to be proven and is in fact the whole point of the proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. That's the hard part. You'll also need to use the fact that every nonempty set of the positive integers has a least element.

The reason your proof didn't seem difficult is because you glossed over the difficult parts and your proof isn't a proof.

As I recall the terms include some phrase like "we might change the license to be similar in spirit to the existing one" which gives FSF and anyone who controls it in the future a lot of wiggle room.

I deleted the network from the system settings, restarted the app, and this time the app created the network record and could modify it.

> all he has to do is wait for the statute of limitations to expire.

The Swedish investigation may well expire (parts have already). This has never really been about the Swedish charges.

The English charges (relating to failing to comply with bail) do not expire. Very few offences in English law expire - something I'm sure will surprise Americans who are used to relatively short statute of limitations on even some serious crimes (e.g. the Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations). England routinely prosecutes and jails people for alleged offences 50 & 60 years ago; many are elderly men in their 80's & 90's with little chance of mounting any sort of defence due to their age, but that's another issue.

Arrange cannot wait out the English charges and England is well documented as an enthusiastic participant in torture and rendition of both it's own citizens and foreign nationals. The UK-US extradition treaty is a shocking travesty of justice and is routinely used to send people from the UK to the US for activity carried out in the UK and considered lawful in the UK but which has upset US authorities.

That means that the contributors agreed to license the code as "GPL version 2, or at your option any later version", which means that they are amenable to changes to the GPL. The FSF could not, however, make a GPLv4 that was a proprietary software license or something. I wouldn't have signed copyright assignment forms if that was a possibility.

Really, FSF copyright is a very good thing, and you can even do it completely digitally in the US and Germany (used to be that you had to use snail mail to receive forms and send them back). People shouldn't get scared away from contributing to GNU projects that choose copyright assignment. There's no better place to protect the GPL than at the FSF.

I guess we differ hugely on the definition of "household name". Something is a household name, to me, when someone in every household has heard of the company.
