There is debate about to what extent patent protection is already extant in the current licenses. One example, the MIT has

> to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software

The word "patent" does not appear here, but the words "use" and "distribute" seem to imply the granting of rights necessary to achieve those ends (of which a limited patent license would be one), and the phrase "deal in the software without restriction" is a statement so broad that it seems difficult to argue a patent license (and perhaps many future IP innovations unknown to us today) was not granted by the rules of equitable estoppel.

The reason for this license change is to resolve the ambiguity that arises because the word "patent" does not appear as a word in this clause. It was found that the GPLv2 did not grant patent rights because it was not mentioned in that license [0], although the circumstances of that case and the text of the MIT are far apart.

As a result of all this LLVM may go around and get people to sign off on the Apache grant but it is likely to be under the banner of "clarifying" an implied patent grant rather than establishing a new one. Depending on how worried the lawyers are about the legal meaning of "deal in the Software without restriction" they may not be worried about the contributors they are unable to track down.

The city said it needed an early warning system to give "first responders" a head start when dealing with emergencies like chemical spills and earthquakes, as well as major crime and terrorist incidents.

Ok, then only allow Fire and EMT folks to monitor the cameras and ban all other uses or reporting of the footage. In fact, it probably shouldn't be kept unless there is an active safety (e.g. Fire, NTSB, etc) investigation using it.

Then I might, possibly believe this statement.
The police ARE civilians. That they imagine themselves to be a branch of the military is the very problem!

Think of it as an opportunity. There is an insane amount of money to be made rescuing crashed projects built by people that were too focused on using the latest and the greatest tech rather than actually focusing on delivering what the customer asked, on time and within the alloted budget.

And by the time the project has crashed those promising marketing the moon will be fired, and you'll be labeled 'the guy/gal that saved the project'.

It's a pretty easy sell at that point, assuming the company survived the carnage.

Yes, I took that to mean, when you're making a random valid choice, the weights come from the input distribution.

I don't understand about "a single color" unless you mean setting all output pixels to the same color, which would only satisfy the constraints if the input has an NxN patch all one color.

And yet, unless you go through the effort of removing every trusted CA from your browser, you implicitly trust them because Mozilla/Google/etc. do.

And thus why the CA system is broken in a nutshell.
The same thing is present in the other situations. People don't get to pick and choose where and how they work, they have families to feed. The pure ideal market forces you're talking about don't exist, most of this is ran by much more depressing forces, such as the prisoner's dilemma.

I've just brought up collusion, it's a concern for software engineering jobs, look it up. Not pure market forces? Exactly! So why are you assuming the CEO's job and pay are pure market forces?
The case is about google paying the manufacturers to put google services in there.

Not getting injured is the one I have always struggled with. As you have correctly pointed out it is probably the most important thing you can do to keep fit. After 17 years of stop start I had gone from potentially world class athlete to unable to even do a sit up without agonizing pain. On the road to recovery again now (2.5 years in), hopefully for the last time.

This time I have invested heavily into medical help to solve the problem from the core and not just from the pain perspective. It seems to be paying off so far and I would recommend the course of action I have taken to anyone else suffering from back problems (severe scoliosis in my case due to office cave man exacerbating underlying imbalances from a serious accident). My regime is chiro, sports massage, a physical therapist who doesn't hold back when doing active release and core strengthening exercises once capable.

Also know when is enough. It took years to start listening to my body and to realize I couldn't train like I used to.
> The difference is that proprietary forks of permissive code is often kept in sync and you only learn of its existence if they decide to contribute back patches. They typically have the generosity of making those available under the original permissive licence.

This sounds like cherry-picking to me. "If they decide to contribute back patches" is something that is not up to you -- and the same logic applies to copyleft forks just as much as it applies to proprietary forks (the quotes are not necessary, proprietary forks of lax licensed software are forks like any other kind of fork). Just because someone has used a license that gives users freedom should not be construed as it being a contribution to you.

> They typically have the generosity of making those available under the original permissive licence.

They also typically have the "generosity" of not providing source code to users, meaning that the users have no freedom when using the software. But hey, at least you got some marginally useful patches that probably aren't all that great. Yay.

Also, please note that some projects do dual-license their changes. I don't understand why you're so salty on this topic.

I'm not using MongoDB anymore, but had a 3 year run without a single stability issue. This article states that they had it on production for 2 years and it was stable.

I'm not saying MongoDB is awesome, I'd never use it again for various reasons but stability is not one of them. This circlejerk is getting ridiculous.

If you bought bread from the corner store then you can still spread butter from the supermarket on it. Your two purchases were independent.

That's not relevant in the phone market, where you're stuck with a specific platform once you've made your initial phone purchase. You can't use it with applications from other platforms, and switching platforms means you need to purchase all the stuff you're using all over again.
So which one is cheaper, paying for preinstall or paying the fine post install?
I agree that, for a given caloric deficit, a ketogenic diet produces less perceived hunger, so you "lose weight while not even trying". However, keto also keeps your glycogen stores low, which reduces cardiovascular performance while the diet persists. This makes keeping muscle harder, especially if you have a lifestyle with requisite cardio (e.g. bicycle commuting). I don't think high-intensity cardio + keto is a good idea because, in the absence of glycogen, the body can tap muscle protein as a peak-power energy source.
Why would this bring up an anti-trust case. It doesn't make any sense.
Like in many cases, perception lags reality. Google was already starting to broaden out past Ivy League candidates when I was hired (2008), and it's been almost 8 years since then. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't source enough candidates from just the top schools to fill the open positions; they're at 66,000 employees now.

SRE actually seemed one of the more educationally diverse organizations while I was there - it's a field where skills are easily measured and passion for the job you do tends to result in better performance than educational background. Search Quality was still overweight Stanford/Berkeley/MIT/IIT/etc at the time, as was Research and X. Chrome and Apps had a wide variety of backgrounds, including a number of really good people without college degrees. Ironically, the departments that seemed to have the biggest Ivy-League bias were AdSales and HR; when there are few objective ways of judging candidates, more weight gets placed on educational pedigree.
Actually, I think this is consistent. 13-26 or so episodes is a pretty good length. Beyond that, ideas get stale, characters get repetitive, plots get either formulaic, or too convoluted to ever resolve, and a show generally starts to tilt downward.

I wish there were more shows that just were OK with planning an ending. I like stories with endings. Just know your limits, don't try to make a show that can go on for a million seasons, end it when its still good, and then use the goodwill garnered from making a masterpiece to build the next creative thing.

I'm not sure why this model seems to be more successful in, say, Anime as opposed to western TV. Budget, maybe?

Clayton Christensen Has a New Theory
You can't make the original code not-MIT-licensed, since the author already released it as such (and even they cannot make it not-MIT-licensed). But you can release it (with or without modifications) under another license as long as it lets you follow the MIT license's only restriction (reproduction of the copyright notice).

What do you think being GPL-compatible (for example) means other than that? The GPL requires you to release all parts of the derived work under the GPL, not just a compatible license.
I've been on bodybuilding.com for many years... yes, there are thousands of bro-science meatheads there, but also valid people, with valid advice.

Bees placed on endangered species list – a first in the US
Yes you do (well change is the wrong word, you're sublicensing your copy of the code). Otherwise the software would not be proprietary. Windows for example used to ship BSD licensed code, and it would have been a violation of Windows' license to modify that code (even though the original code was under a free software license).

I don't understand which part of this is confusing you -- the MIT license explicitly states that sublicensing is permitted. If you didn't sublicense the code, then users would be allowed to have all the freedoms that come with the MIT license. This would make it impossible to have a proprietary version of an MIT licensed project -- which is something that we objectively know is possible because it happens all the time.
Or a license that gives you that explicit right (like the MIT license does).

It's mostly a US thing. The UK is fine with making shows that have short seasons and that only last two or three seasons.

Because an operation may be a query for a single document by an indexed field, or it could be an FTS across billions of records, each with thousands of terms.

In my experience, MongoDB and MySQL performance are usually on par. It's important to understand what the operations are before making any kind of comparison.

That said, I totally understand why this was your first thought. The article doesn't even state if the operations are queries, updates or inserts, let alone how many indexes or scans are performed...
The very first sentence on the page states:

"Plan9front (or 9front) is a fork of the Plan 9 from Bell Labs operating system. The project was started to remedy a perceived lack of devoted development resources inside Bell Labs,[citation needed] and has accumulated various fixes and improvements."

What's so confusing about that?
If I were to categorize it, I'd call DbC formal specification that, combined with Eiffel or SPARK tools, can be used to verify that interfaces or code maintain those specific properties. It's a partial form of formal specification and verification that's still useful.

It doesn't have to be fully specified or proven to count as formal verification. Partial verification is a thriving field.
>It's kind of sad when you realize that a lot of the code you write will eventually be rewritten or lapse out of use

It's funny, I actually get sadder when I find out code I wrote a long time ago is still in use. The deployment tool I wrote for reddit ended up lasting six or seven years. Some of the stuff I wrote at eBay is still in use today.
Because it's cool.

That's really my answer. Maybe I'm setting myself up for career failure, but I just enjoy having some Russian hacker lob a new puzzle at me every couple of weeks.
You're correct, I should have said better patent protection, not patent protection at all.
I was a bit suspicious when he claimed 20 lbs in 3 months; usually 1 lb/week is considered the upper limit for beginners. Then I saw he was suggesting a high creatine intake, which for many people will cause them to retain water. I imagine a significant fraction of that 20 lbs is water weight, meaning it's easily lost when you stop taking supplements and working out for a little while. That said, the water is stored in your muscles, so it does make them look bigger. It's just not a permanent kind of gain.
The only thing more consistent than the simplicity of basic weight training is the consistency that people are duped into thinking there are tricks.
I don't think the original poster despises anyone--I certainly didn't get that sense from anything they wrote. (Nor do I, of course.)

I also certainly wouldn't compel people to live any specific place, neither would I force my values on the whole world. I'm happy when we're all free to self-organize into like-minded communities, in a live-and-let-live sense.

That said, this community here where we are writing tries to maintain a level of civility that I think you're no longer meeting. There are other places where you can be as impolite as you want, of course. Civility belongs here, discourse lacking in it doesn't.

Your risk is right on. The problem with throwing out dictators (laudable) is what they get replaced with (not necessarily an improvement). If Saudi Arabia were to fall and be replaced by an ISIS style state, we'd be very limited in our ability to respond militarily without enraging significant parts of the Muslim world by conducting military operations on sacred ground.

That then begs the question of "do we even care if there's an ISIS style state in Saudi Arabia?" The answer is probably yes, since an ISIS inspired state would clearly have ambitions beyond the Arabian peninsula.
How Twitter Explains the Election
Actually, it is 100% the point. I never personally agreed with the Microsoft anti-trust scandal (and a lot of people on HN don't): nothing stopped you from installing another browser and making it the default for relevant URI schemes and file types.

Microsoft got nailed because they were popular, not because they forced people to not use Netscape. Now, everyone includes a default browser, and no one sues Apple over forcing all iOS users to use Safari no matter what, even "alternative browsers" must use Safari for their HTML canvas underneath.

> Especially since sometimes copyleft forks are created because the developers made so many changes that it stands in its own right as a separate project (and the developers feel that user freedom trumps upstreamability).

That "user freedom" you mention, which you had when you forked the original permissive codebase to GPLv3, is now lost on those new users you have wanting to make a similar change. It was certainly free enough for you then. It's a dick move ideological statement to push the notion of GPL "user freedom".
A good article. As a resident of Oakland, I can say that it is well reported+sourced, especially for something from the other side of the globe.

A couple of things about Oakland. The OPD has been under Federal oversight for more than a decade stemming from the Riders cases in 2000. The Port of Oakland is 5th in the US with about 2.2M TEUs of shipping. The local economy has really taken off post-recession. I liked Quan and I really like Schaaf but Dellums was less than a nothing; he actually stopped going in to work.

But the distinction between the hardware design and software is blurry. What about microcode? What about designs targeting FPGAs? A basic idea in modern systems design, in fact, is that there is no preconceived notion about where hardware should end and software should begin.

Formal verification is not applicable to the DAO hack that lead to some humans to decide on forking the blockchain.

Correctness in that example was in the eye of the beholder and from the perspective of the hacker that received the digital currency, it would have been formally verified as "correct".

> Pre & After Trading Hours: Once reserved for institutional investors, extended trading hours let you trade before the opening bell and well after the closing bell — an extra two and a half hours of access, every day.

Pre/post market trading is different than normal hours. The liquidity is totally different and generally done with only limit orders. If you don't understand what those are, you shouldn't be doing it.

> Additional Buying Power: Gold Buying Power is money that we lend to you to buy stocks, giving you the equivalent of a line of credit for the stock market. You get up to 2x your buying power so you can invest more, and keep any profits. More information on our Help Center.

This is called a margin account. It's interesting that they don't call it that.

> Bigger Instant Deposits: Take advantage of Instant Reinvesting, which lets you access proceeds from a stock sale immediately, and Instant Deposits, which eliminates the three day wait period for funds to transfer from your bank into Robinhood.

Again, this is called a margin account. The way it works is rather than waiting for the prior trade to settle (i.e. the counter party to the trade provides the cash and you deliver the stock), your broker spots you the expected proceeds so that you can trade as if you already have the cash.

Scrolling down is the details, terms, etc. I can't tell if making it a different color so you don't notice it's there is intentional or just stylistic choices by their designers.

Going to their help pages[1] I found this:

> Do I get charged interest on top of the monthly charge for using Gold buying power?

> No! You will not get charged interest or fees in addition to the fixed monthly charge of the tier you selected.

I'm genuinely curious how they have the capital to do this. Can I open an account and use double buying power to purchase a money market ETF?
