> The only thing Linus seems to be disingenuous about is his claim of support for the GPLv2.

I don't believe he's being disingenuous. What's happening is that Linus, and Greg, see the GPL as a tool, a lever if you will, to multiply the amount of code contributed to Linux and other open systems. From that engineering POV they see it as an important contributor to the success of Linux. As a consequence of that, they are in no hurry to change it as it meets their need.

What they clearly don't agree with is the political motivations that drove the creation of the license in the first place. Nor do they appear to be overly concerned, on either a moral or legal level, about its violation. My guess is that, while it continues to help in their endeavour, they will continue to support it. If it were to get in the way, they would feel forced to re-think it. What I read in the thread is the view that they are concerned that a significant increase in legal actions could become a problem for them.

I have some sympathy for both sides. I'd probably err on the side of Linus and Greg as my pragmatism generally outweighs my activism.
> using a fallacy does not make them automatically wrong

I thought that is precisely what using a fallacy makes you. It's what the word fallacy means. It essentially means a "false statement".
Well if huge number of people are living in or very close to poverty I do not think data privacy is very high on their priority.

One scary thing I've noticed is that Google Translate has a new failure mode. While it used to return obviously incomprehensible gibberish when things went off the rails, it now sometimes returns something plausible but subtly incorrect.

For example, it silently dropped the negation in a French -> English translation. Unfortunately, I can't remember the exact phrase but it was so semantically implausible--something like "regardless, we will be liable for any damages" that I went back and looked at the source text. It also sometimes replaces pronouns with oddly specific nouns: "He does X --> John does X" I assume these are both reflections of oddities in the training data.

>vs just a bank innocently managing their risk

I wouldn't overthink things. Revolving credit facilities like Tesla has are very common and typically secured. It's not entirely clear to me what "firewalled" means, but adjusting terms in the wake of a merger/change of control event is to be expected.

Tesla had drawn $678 million under the agreement as of June 30, and had several billion in assets (inventory, machinery etc.) pledged against this and various other credit agreements.

What some might not realize is that although Tesla are doing very well from a PR perspective, they are still massively cash flow negative, even at the operating level (i.e. excluding capex). Solar City is even worse (-$741 million operating cashflow last year and -$2.47 billion including capex).

These are numbers that any loan officer would be wary of.
I've heard that Mozilla on-sites can't be done on Europe. Seems like an odd restriction, wonder if that is still the case.
>I think you're speculating.

There are many solar companies. Perhaps there are synergies with Tesla. But why SolarCity, specifically? What was outstanding about them as a target?

CloudFlare https://www.cloudflare.com/ | San Francisco, CA; London, UK; Singapore, SG; Urbana-Champaign, IL; Austin, TX | VISA, ONSITE

CloudFlare is building a better Internet -- performance and security optimization at the edge. Our long term goal is to give every site the same performance, security, and reliability that major sites like Google and Facebook accomplish, without any specialized network hardware or complicated administration. We enhance millions of sites, including this one. We're hiring for a variety of roles -- started 2015 at 128, ended around 220, doubling again in 2016.

This is a perfect time to join -- product market fit is established, but there's a lot of great engineering, product, sales, and support work to be done. We've publicly said we're profitable and on track for long term independent success. You may wish to check out our blog to see the kinds of engineering work we do. (https://blog.cloudflare.com/). https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team has a listing of positions.
We're always hiring for operations/SRE, sales, general systems engineering (mostly in Go, nginx, and network, as well as DNS at scale), and web development. Specific roles we're keen to hire include:

0) Front End Engineer(s): building new UI/UX to expose controls and data to customers is an increasing portion of what we do. Our current front-end stack is Backbone + Marionette with Browserify and Sass. Our new projects are using React + Redux + Babel + css-modules, and generally adopting Higher Order Components. We're also starting the process of re-imagining our main WWW Front-end stack with a migration to Redux.

1) Data Engineering(s) -- We have a ton of different technologies that our data engineers work with, and they are a really strong core team here. Kafka, PostgreSQL, Docker, Mesos, Marathon, Chronos, nginx, and so many more technologies.

2) Applications Security Engineer(s) -- If you are a security person and a software person this might be a great role for you. We are looking for people with a strong software engineering background but also a keen eye for architectural security bugs and OWASP Top 10 bugs. This role would be working with lots of other teams to help them fix problems.

If you're interested, please apply through the https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team link or if you want to talk to a human about cloudflare you can email me. I am evan at cloudflare.

Add a hosted option with a monthly fee so people can try it out or even just have you host it.

I know that then its just like the others, but really its not like the others. The small differences are huge to a user.

A monthly fee will help stabilize the income.

Also, at $10/mo you'll make the same revenue every year as selling the whole thing. For comparison, basecamp is $29 or $79 per month.
I would leave wild speculation out of this debate and wait for a SpaceX official release.

> My understanding is that they have to provide clear instructions on where to get the source.

No. Only when they distributed their software to you (the Linux kernel under the GPL) then you can request the sourcecode for that under the GPL.
If you never had any code being distributed by them to you, they have no obligation to you.

If they could convince an oil company to do so they might.

Given that, "there is a deep, liquid market for jet fuel," is having Emirates airline and Emirates National Oil Company under the same umbrella poor strategy?

> Linus is right, there is no crisis in GPL violation. There will always be violators. Any law or contract or license will be violated.

Maybe proprietary software companies are happy with the current situation, but as a user who cares about my freedom, I'm very unhappy with the current situation.

> Becoming more militant about enforcement will simply cause most corporate partners to disengage.

Maybe people should spend less time feeling sorry for corporations and more time considering users. If you're someone who has a shitty Bluetooth light bulb running a version of GNU/Linux, the person who has given you that device has taken away your software freedom and everything that comes along with that. Having software freedom means you can completely eradicate vendor lock-in and planned obsolescence from the technology you use, as well as being able to create a community and help yourself and others as a result. Not having software freedom means that you are alone as a user of a product, at the mercy of the company that gave you that device.

You see this all the time, and it worries me that it takes Matthew Garrett posting about how insecure this stuff is for people to even _consider_ that there is a serious user-facing problem here. Yes, IoT is generally not doing well, but there are legitimate uses of this stuff (people who have disabilities for example) and not caring about their software freedom is a serious social issue.

> Most users comply with the license. Users have access to interesting and useful source code and have never been restricted from accessing the kernel.

The GPL has no restrictions on end users. It only has restrictions for distributors, to ensure that any eventual end user of a piece of software will have software freedom and all of the benefits that come with that.

From personal experience, I switched from smoking to vaping for a period of about 2 years, then quit vaping altogether. My cardiovascular health improved when I switched to vaping, but it really improved by what I felt was a much larger margin when I quit vaping. I'm not sure what to put it down to, but among other things, I believe that your lungs have to do extra work to clear out the PG/VG/flavorings, the nicotine contributes to arteriosclerosis, as well as the stimulant effects you mentioned. I get winded less easily and recover more quickly from being winded after quitting vaping. Towards the end of my vaping - the last couple of months - I was only vaping nicotine and PG, no flavorings, so I believe that the nicotine itself does have significant negative effects on your fitness.

The really nice thing about vaping for cessation is that it allows you to drastically lower your nicotine intake without changing your physical addiction-sating behavior (i.e. you can still chain-vape for hours on end). My method was, a week before my quit date, I started stepping down my mix bottle by half (it was a 30ml bottle, so when it would get about halfway down, I would refill it with PG and no nicotine). I did this 3 or 4 times over the course of the week (I had a powerful mod and nice TC coil/tank so I went through a lot of juice) and when I hit my quit date, I threw everything away. I was surprised that I did not suffer significant physical withdrawal effects (I have quit smoking cigs a couple times before and there's always a lot of anxiety, restlessness, and discomfort for the first couple of days). So if you're a vaper and interested in quitting, I strongly recommend this step-down method.

You're talking about neurogenesis via progenitor cells and neural stem cells. Evidence was there for several decades but anyone that touched the subject was essentially blacklisted from the neuroscience community. At MIT, they would talk about how Kaplan was denied tenure and basically kicked out of his university because of his lab's controversial focus on neurogenesis. Kaplan feels similarly. Here's his personal account entitled: death of a dogma and a research career.

It's the worst kind of work. Time consuming, dull and repetitive, but requiring skilled site-specific research every time so you can't just mail in the same package every time. Awful. It's very important that companies are super careful about safety, so it's not pointless. But it is a non-trivial cost of doing business that currently rules out lots of low-cost applications.

It's a real challenge to get the balance right between safety, privacy and freedom to make new applications. Very interesting to watch it develop.
> We call that a "will". They already exist. The new owner pays inheritance tax because they've inherited things.

You're hypothesizing a world where inheritance isn't a recognized thing and asserting that in such a world, it would be impossible to effectively recreate inheritance with clever contracts. I'm telling you that you're wrong. It would be trivial in any world where contracts and transfer of ownership are accepted to recreate an inheritance system.
By that argument, every non-copyleft licensed codebase is "dead" with respect to the "people".

In reality, the opposite is true even though it burns up FSF folks. Linux is alive and well. You can download, read, edit and contribute back to the kernel for free. Maybe your patches won't be accepted, but the license doesn't guarantee that they will be anyway.

It is true that you may periodically experience a scofflaw that sells you a router that hides some kernel code, but this should only bother you on philosophical grounds. The vendor has no obligation to allow you to "repair" or modify the device. The vendor is under no obligation to accept a patch from you if you find a flaw. Putting linux in a device does not grant the end user any specific right to change the device's behavior. People seem to be confusing "hackable" with "has GPL code". A shitty router with linux code will probably remain a shitty router.

I can see why the FSF and SFC might be throwing a fit; Clang and LLVM can replace GCC, and Linus isn't at all militant about license enforcement. The effective power of the FSF is in rapid decline.
To be clear here, the take home code challenge was designed to take about an hour. We tried to design this to be respectful of people's time and with the assumption that people aren't just applying to our job.

Sudden cardiac arrest is a much more dangerous type of heart attack. There is none of the pain in extremity early warning and it has very low survival odds. Remember you normally get some blood flow in a heart attack but this is normal to zero in seconds.

is having Emirates airline and Emirates National Oil Company under the same umbrella poor strategy?

Yes. The only reason it exists this way is because they're both owned by the corrupt government/monarchy of Dubai.

Keep in mind that under the same umbrella you also have everything from banks to a cement company to hotels to a mineral water company. This isn't a coherent business strategy, it's just what happens when a single family rules over an entire economy and basically owns everything.
