Can you elaborate on this part?

* Science isn't clear regarding what part of global temperature rise is due to human activity.

I just want to contrast the above with this statement by the IPCC [1]:

"Human influence has been detected and attributed in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, in changes in the global water cycle, in reductions in snow and ice, and in global mean sea level rise; and has been extremely likely been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid century. In recent decades, changes in climate have caused impacts on natural and human systems on
all continents and across the oceans."

If you don't know the details, that is easily remedied by reading the CBS Report, which I linked to. It is free. I followed this controversy at the time, and it is very revealing precisely in those details, which I read in full as soon as it came out. Rather was guilty of assisting fraud in the service of a cause, no other conclusion is reasonable. That certainly disqualifies him as a serious commentator going forward. Trust matters. Yet now he is being resurrected to lecture us about science.
That's not at all what faith is. There are some definitions of faith that include "belief not based on proof", but that is still far removed from "belief despite evidence to the contrary".

It's amazing that there's someone out there thinking that Python's compatibility break is a "minor problem", even when comparing apples to oranges.

Fortunately the architects of the change said that they've learned their lesson. They don't have much choice either, another one like this and it would be bye bye python.

I remember working at a utility company. I didn't last long (I was the "web master" - oh for the early 2000s), and nor did much of the support staff.

Why? Mainly because we didn't have "authority" to fix things. That had to come from a PM.

It might also have had something to do with the fact that after Ernst & Young came in to do some IT re-structure consulting, we had the situation where:

Support staff were supposed to be on call rotation for pager duty. PMs were not.

PMs were given company cell phones. Support staff were not.

PMs were given company cars. Support staff were not (note that when I say 'support staff' I don't really mean 'help desk' but programming. And this was a government utility where, rightly or wrongly, nearly everyone had a company car).

Someone observed this. Management's response was that the cars and phones gave the PMs "flexibility". Meanwhile support staff were to take calls on their own phones, and if need be drive in to work at 2am in their personal vehicles. PMs were not to be disturbed out of hours.

A little rant-y, but the underlying point? Companies with poor "pager policies" are likely to be problematic all around.
There is a wide range of issues for which there are different legitimate ways of interpreting the same evidence. The humanities, for crying out loud, are generally philosophical rather than empirical---how you interpret James Joyce is much more fluid than whether the world is flat.

> Our projects charge for licenses, while keeping the source code public, like open source.

Except for being completely incompatible with both the Open Source Definition and Free Software definition, incompatible with any copyleft license, and otherwise incompatible with the entire FOSS ecosystem.

OSD #5 and DFSG #6 specifically prohibit restrictions on commercial/business use, as does the FSF's Free Software Definition ('“Free software” does not mean “noncommercial”.')

I've seen many attempts at this come and go, and they all have this same fundamental problem.

Where I work we have a separate pager duty group, that anyone can join. Why would you? Because a) you care, and/or b) the compensation is great.

One line summary: DRM-free, licensed-for-commercial-use, source code.

I like the idea, strongly. But I am a bit apprehensive about how the projects that sign up for this may exploit it; especially considering how some projects put up a facade of being open while important bits and portions remain closed.

On the other hand, if such a project becomes used to being paid for its visible-source bits, and paid a bit more for the hidden-source bits, I suspect they'd see little incentive to remain on the Supported Source platform and instead move entirely to hidden-source. "They're paying for it anyway. Why give away our code for cheaper, when we can keep it and charge more!"

I'd be fine if it stayed closed source and cost a few bucks to start, and then went open source after the initial revenue stream dried up.

Right now I run a WinXP virtual machine to play SimAnt and SimTower... I know nothing about VMs and was able to get everything installed and working in about 2 hours. So "messing with" virtual machines is not too much time, other than downloading and installing them.

Seeing as the Windows 3.1 crowd would be very niche, they'd most likely have no problem paying a small fee. I just hope it does go open source afterward.

From the FAQ:

> Open source is public source that's monetarily free

This isn't really true, as you really can charge for free software as much as you want, but you also can't forbid people from redistributing it without paying for it. This is why you can't download from RedHat's repos without paying for access, but also why CentOS can exist. (I have also heard that RedHat threatens to terminate your access if you exercise your redistribution rights, but I am not sure this is true.)

I guess "supported source" is a statement that there is only room for one Red Hat in this world, and everyone else must restrict redistribution.
If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him. --Cardinal Richelieu

Persecuting people for not stripping personal accounts of details that happen to match forbidden stereotypes seems rather oppressive. And like something that will tend to de-legitimize the cause you're using to justify said persecution.
I love the idea and hope it succeeds. The problem is that programmers are cheap and won't pay for open source software.

Condorcet methods are more like a particular method of choosing the winner of a round-robin tournament; they don't really map naturally to a single-elimination tournament.

Of course, if you assume consistent relative performance, then any single winner tournament that you construct among the candidates in a Condorcet election would choose the Condorcet winner of one exists, and some member of the Smith set in any case (though different initial bracket structure can choose different Smith set members in the absence of a Condorcet winner.)

If you are interested in this kind of multi-level attack, I recommend watching this[1] really fun talk by dwangoAC, which he originally gave at DEFCON 24. He is the owner of "TASBot", a custom controller interface for sending high-speed (and occasionally reliable) controller input into a SNES.

In this talk, he uses the controller interface on the SNES to send commands to a Super GameBoy, which is running a real Pokemon Red cartridge. Commands are sent to Pokemon Red to activate an arbitrary code execution bug to write a bootloader that receives the rest of the attack program at high speed. Then - form inside the GameBoy environment - he takes over the Super GameBoy and gains arbitrary code execution on the SNES proper.

(for a finish, a Twitch chat client is written into RAM on the SNES that uses a custom network protocol to send requests over the controller port, so the livestream audience can ask questions live through the SNES).

Bad idea when it's presented as a substitute for FOSS. You can charge for support of FOSS based products as well.
When you say it frequently enough, you'll appreciate the one less syllable over "zero."

edit: I even think it's more natural. "Zero day" are two real words that could be a sentence fragment, "oh-day" feels like a new word. Saying "that's a zero day" feels like an incorrect sentence to me (uncanny valley), whereas "that's an oh-day" only sounds weird if you don't accept "oh-day" as a word. To me, "oh-day" is similar to most slang, where it feels natural to say/hear even when you don't know what it means.
Retroarch just uses cores from other emulators, doesn't it?
For now. It's also hard to say, how much of the rise in their "gaming" earnings - is in fact driven by people buying GPUs for deep learning.

I'm not sure what industry this was in, but neither reflect my experience working in Telecom and HIPAA-related environments.

We couldn't push any fixes without full UAT/validation testing. No "install own paging systems" would be tolerated on national phone/video networks or anything HIPAA related. We wouldn've been walked out the door ASAP.

I think it really depends. We had critical SLA and support levels we had to respond to. If a backup was called and there wasn't a very specific reason the primary was not able to respond, there would be consequences.

I hated not being able to leave or do something spontaneously (especially on a weekend, for example), because we always had to be near. Of course, all that would change if they made it attractively worth my while. But almost nobody does. :)

Pitting "ranked choice" versus "approval" (versus "range") voting is not really the way to think about it. Consider a "relaxed" version of ranked choice where voters are allowed to give multiple candidates the same rank. (Sometimes voters really do have no preference between two candidates.)

Approval voting then is just a "restricted" subset of "relaxed ranked choice". That is, any preference expressed in an approval voting ballot can also be expressed in a relaxed ranked choice ballot. Similarly, relaxed ranked choice voting can be considered a restricted subset of range voting. And our traditional "single choice" voting can be considered a restricted subset of all of them.

And really you should separate the mechanism for expressing voter preference from the mechanism for picking a winner. Those are separate things that, in theory, can be mixed-and-matched to produce various voting systems.

So, clearly range voting is in some sense the best (or tied for the best) ballot, in the sense that it allows the voter to express a range of preferences that is a superset of the other systems.

But there is also the issue of ballot simplicity. Some people might prefer the simpler ballots of the approval system, or even the traditional single choice system. But since those ballots have corresponding "range voting" ballots, you can deploy a "range voting" election while allowing voters to use the kind of ballot they are comfortable with.

Indeed you can imagine the idea of a "progressive ballot" in which the voter starts of with a simple "single choice" ballot, and can optionally refine their preferences with an approval ballot, then a ranked choice ballot, then, ultimately a "range" ballot.

I've actually implemented such a thing [1].

I too would appreciate further insight in this specific aspect of this vulnerability. Perhaps with the amount of flexibility apparently available it wouldn't take much work to gain root access.

There are many parallels here to the libstagefright media codec vulnerabilites that were big news in the Android world back in 2015 - the primary problem seems to be remote code execution, not privilege escalation.
But if the employer could pay less for labor in the U.S. then perhaps they would have kept the jobs here. That's what I meant by asking if the minimum wage is "too high".

This isn't related to supply-side economics. Just the basic idea that price floors (like minimum wages) can exclude the price point at which supply and demand would be in equilibrium, specifically by suppressing demand by keeping the price artificially high.
I'm curious, which ones?
Is there a name for companies that release their code under an actual free license, but charge for other things like support? Companies that come to mind are flynn.io or sidekiq.org (both of which were recently on the front-page).
