Seems fairly straightforward to me. The more viral nature of AGPL is limiting their options for stewardship.

One way of getting around that is to be the owner of the original IP, whereby you could relicense it under something that wouldn't limit stewardship options. It seems that's not a possibility, because:

"One of the creditors owns the IP and IMO they're unlikely to sell it unless the project raises fairly substantial sums of money"

So, basically, they will have to sort out stewardship with fewer options than what would be optimal.

There seems to be a "far left" and "far right" view on the thread. The "far left" is that the issues above somehow don't matter at all. The "far right" view is that they are showstoppers for any kind of stewardship solution.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

They are in their 7th year of operation so they aren't going anywhere soon. It is interesting because in the beginning they got all of their cabinets and games from dumps and would fix them up and get them running. They create new cabinets when necessary but as much as possible the things are close to original. They have cabinets for newer games too that are played on a PS3/4 but are abstracted away from the player through the cabinet.
I'm on my fifth fitbit in about 10 months.

After a few weeks, like clockwork, the rubber housing will start to peal away from the display, eventually leading to the glue coming unstuck and the housing bubbling up.

Needless to say, I'll not be bothering with fitbit again.

That is a reason to use the AGPL when working on free software. Using a BSD license gives you (the creator) zero protection from bad commercial actors who want to use the software without contributing back. The AGPL is not the right choice for every project but I do believe it is a good choice for software which can be trivially setup as a service. For instance, an open source web application, an open source database, an open source irc server, etc... I think Linus did the right thing going with the GPL for Linux and sticking with version 2.
This seems fine for a single job but if you have dozens to manage it would become unwieldy. I'm excited to see the ins and outs of AWS Glue[0]. Hopefully that will make projects like this more manageable.

I have one, exactly the same, except it's iPhone s4. I love it!
Exactly. I love Linux on servers. Easy to work with, easy to develop for, etc. But OSX is just much better for day to day task. Everything more or less "just works". Plus with modern C++ I can usually easily develop locally and deploy to Linux (with some CI to make sure compatibility remains).
Not the OP, but I'll chime in with what we're missing when we took a look at it. AFAICT there is no way to tell k8s to retry a job X number of times; you have to futz around with deadlines.
Nice collection. But from the look of these photos, you'd think the person slapping the title on top was at most... about 21 or so. "1940s? 60s? 90s? It all looks the same."

BTW, if you're wondering why the Sally Rand Nude Ranch looks out of place -- that's because that scene was from Ft. Worth, Texas, not SF.

Question, from someone who does not understand the Holographic universe idea:

If 'true', is the holographic universe 'merely' a mathematical tool that helps us solve problems, or is it a description of an objective reality, and the universe is 'really' a 2D surface, and our 3D perception is somehow illusory?

I understand this is partly a philosophy of science question, but would be interested to hear an expert opinion ...

This happened to me in my first job. I'm definitely a night-owl, but I was tired of coming in at 10-11 and leaving after dark, after everyone else including my boss had left, so I decided to change my routine and get up early and get to work by ~7-8. This worked great for about a week, until my boss started complaining about me leaving so early. So I switched back to my old routine of coming in really, really late, after everyone else did, and then leaving late after everyone else (but only barely, I'd just wait until everyone else was gone and then take off), but still only working 8 hours (maybe). Suddenly I was seen as a "hard worker" again.

People are stupid.
I am a developer and I was a fitbit premium user for long time but I cancelled my subscription. I went over all their APIs but failed to get data where I can export my detailed workout and cardio stats. My main purpose was train myself for even more intense workout looking at the data.

It's for when you want the benefits of serverless computing for your engineers, but your organization is too big (too many requests) for lambda to be financially feasible. Or you project things getting to that point and don't want to be locked into the AWS ecosystem.

There's definitely a move from the theater to on-demand streaming platforms for all movies except giant movies like Star Wars, so I think the author is right that the theatrical experience will see audience attendance continue to drop. Also making movies that can play for audiences around the world does mean that the dialogue has to be very simple and/or reduced. I think Jason Bourne had 50 lines of dialogue total in the latest Bourne movie for this reason. Without dialogue it does get harder for great actors to shine (Chaplin & Keaton excepted). As movies have gotten less culturally specific, they've also gotten less culturally relevant and this minimizes the importance of directors, writers, actors, and movies as art.

The author's inexperience in the industry shows though in this article. Crews are extremely efficient. Movies are made one shot at a time and when you have big crews made up of different departments (art, camera, sound, lighting, vfx) they have to work essentially in very quick shifts. For example, the camera move is set, then the actors step out and the lighting crew lights the scene, then lighting steps out, art dept. steps in and works, then the actors come back in, etc. To an outsider it looks like 90% of the crew is just standing around doing nothing, but it's much more efficient to work that way and safer too. So I think the author is putting too much blame on union crews for inefficiency.

Also, the author completely omits the marketing costs of films which increased hugely once TV advertising was used to market movies. Marketing costs are one of the main reasons that movies have to basically be blockbusters to make money. A TV ad spot for Star Wars costs the same as a TV ad spot for an indie film.

The idea that CG actors are going to replace real actors en masse is not realistic. I work in visual effects and, trust me, it's a lot more work than this author realizes and is not cost effective unless an actor has died in the middle of your shoot.

I also don't see editors getting replaced by A.I. for films or TV/streaming. Maybe for wedding and vacation videos or perhaps as a tool for reality TV editors to help select shots from the massive amount of footage. But film/TV editing is now an extremely efficient process thanks to digital editing tools like Avid or Premiere. A single editor can cut a film almost as fast as they can think at this point (okay a bit slower). Having to screen 50 versions of an edit produced by AI (and then do rounds of editing notes that way) would take longer than having a good editor just cut the movie.

Don't get me wrong, the theatrical movie experience is going to keep going down hard. I think the biggest threat to movies is that for the most part they don't matter much to the culture any more. But this author's lack of experience in the industry makes some of his predictions suspect.
The difference is the opportunity cost. It's easy to see what other opportunities labour has, it's not easy to see what other opportunities copying bits has, especially in the household capacity. I certainly don't see anyone asking to use my residential bit-copying facilities in any meaningful capacity, but I do see people asking to use my time.
Crafting a Successful Social Media Strategy That Communicates Your Brand

I mean, when you're looking where to locate your company/factory, one of the things you have to consider is whether you can attract the type of workers you need. People on this board bag on those who live in NYC, SF, and other high COL areas without being rich all the time. I don't see it any different to bag on those companies that choose to locate in areas where they can't attract people to live.
1) Not sure why navigating is "more complex on native". The platform the code runs on has nothing to do with the way the user interacts with the page. Complex navigation state is represented as one or many stacks of URIs.

2) In React Router you can have a statically available route config. This is React. Make an array then map it to render.

3) React Router is all components, so it composes exactly like the rest of your app. No new API to learn. It's Just React™
Oh if only it was more popular, yeah just like Heartbleed was caught in OpenSSL.

My point was the eyeballs argument is often made as a claim about the absence of bugs at the present time.

When in fact it simply means "it is possible for people to look at it and find and fix bugs" no more no less.

The mere ability does not magically translate to security. And the ability does not automatically imply that it is being done.

Right. The larger you grow, the shorter the list of potential suitors for a liquidation event/buyout becomes.

On the other hand, the businesspeople in charge of buyouts tend to like large, within their budget. It's about the same amount of due diligence work whether buying a $10M company or a $100M company, so if they need to hit certain numbers, then larger is better.

This is an interesting point. In the past, we had the Hollywood backlot. Maybe we need the digital equivalent in the future. Instead of each production company making chunks of New York in CGI, what if there was a shared one that production companies could take as a base and alter as needed? I'm not sure what incentive structure would work best for something like this, but as long as studios don't get greedy about adding their work to it and expecting money back (which might be a tall order), open source might work.
Absolutely. Particularly the early 80s. Many of those games filled too many childhood hours to count. Ironically, I didn't like Pac Man so much (back then or today), though I recognize it as being a great game and understand why it would appeal to many.
Well, you just changed my mind. My idea might be great in isolation, but the secondary consequences would be terrible. Hollywood, please ignore the above. I was briefly overcome with insanity.

I might be tempted to try a coworking space, except that I live in a small town in the mountains of Central Arizona: no coworking spaces here!

Sometimes some background random noise and activity is nice while working, in which case I go to the public work areas in the public library or a coffee shop.

As pointed out elsewhere, the post is from 1999. You're effectively asking the author to, apart from creating the content, to also maintain it over the years to someone else's arbitrary satisfaction. I'm not sure if that's fair. The author likely has other project's they're working on, and maintaining the look of something they wrote 18 years ago isn't a priority.

Consider what would have happened if they had just published a book. Likely the book would be out of print and no longer available. This is definitely a step up from that.

If this is something that you truly care about, you may want to reach out to the author and offer to provide a maintenane update on your own. That said, be prepared for the author to perhaps consider even the little time it would take coordinating with you and performing any updates not worth their time. Then again, they may welcome your interest and willingness to help.

This should be upvoted way higher.

The customers didn't buy a first blackphone, they bought something vaguely similar, but counterfeit. They literally bought a backdoor.

Remember the hassle WhatsApp got for failing open?

The Blackphone+SilentOS is an actual crypto device for people who believe they need crypto. It needs to fail closed. This may cost some people $100, but save their lives.

This also gives the customers the ability to sue the sellers, or at least push for refunds via the sales platforms.

Canadian customs once searched my brother's laptop at the border, in his presence, and their method was as trivial as doing a Windows file search for "boy" and "girl".
Exactly. This is why people with children shouldn't also have jobs. At least one person needs to be at home to take care of the kids. However, with divorce so commonplace, you can't count on having one spouse earning an income any more, it's just too much of a risk, so I don't think anyone should have any kids at all. Having kids simply is not compatible with living in modern society. (No, this is not satire.)
That would likely be overly onerous...what if they use licensed 3rd party components?
Thanks for explaining this!
And exactly how someone that works in an office in Barcelona, an elderly or a couple that is looking for a flat can take advantage of those opportunities?
Information/data about our daily lives. More and more is being attempted to be collected, but the vast majority still is not.
I think we mostly agree.

As a nationalist and constitutionalist American, I strongly agree about treating individuals as such. However, the problem is that the left has demonized that approach and suggested that if a demographic underperforms, it's inherently because of oppression rather than culture or biology. These days, tribalism is the left's. If we ran an individualistic society, we wouldn't have to ask these hairy and unpleasant questions, but as long as the left phrases white, Jewish, and Asian success solely in terms of oppression, we'll be mistreating individuals of those ethnicities.

I agree that data on this is uncomfortable and can be misused, but (despite academia's wishes) science is not a tool for supporting progressive cosmopolitan perspectives. If people think that current policies are sensible, they shouldn't be afraid of what scientists might uncover about the nature of human genetics. Personally, I think I could logically defend egalitarianism and individualism in the face of significant racial IQ disparities. People who feel wedded to affirmative action and victimhood culture, however, are going to be hostile toward legitimate science in this area because it delegitimizes these institutions.

Native ECMAScript modules: the new features and differences from Webpack modules
WebCrypto is browser Javascript crypto. You cannot rely on it to allow browsers to keep secrets from servers: the server has a variety of different straightforward ways to compromise cryptosystems it feeds to browsers.

Randomness is far from the most important problem with browser Javascript crypto; critics of browser crypto generally assumed that browser Javascript would get secure randomness at some point. The most important problem with this scheme is that there's no way to provide assurance that the browser JS runtime is what the user of an application expects it to be.

WebCrypto was chartered as a way to recreate the DRM schemes that Flash video plugins relied on, without needing plugins. You can read the working group notes to see that. It was never intended as, and cannot function as, a way of creating "server-proof" crypto apps.
Some of what you describe here is on the table and we plan on sharing details on that in the followup posts.

Apparently Infinality has been abandoned, and can cause problems, so might want to be careful installing it. I recently had an issue where I could not log into Gnome, I took it as an opportunity to reinstall Arch as I wanted to do a fresh install anyway, but have since found out (from the podcast Linux Action Show) that the issue was very likely due to Infinality. Just a heads up.

No, but US citizens are affected. The US-born children of long-term non-citizen residents may lose a parent, for example, if that parent isn't let back in.

The other day, a lawyer friend of mine had to advise a client of his not to return home to visit his dying father. This client has lived in the US for 20 years, and runs a business employing six US citizens. But if he goes to visit his father, he may not be allowed back into the US. That father will die without seeing his eldest son because of this policy. But if this man has American-born children (I don't know if he does), he might be permanently separated from his children if he visits his dying father.

Think about the implications.

I think you are mistaken. At least from my reading of The Stranger I remember Camus stating suicide is a cowardly act. Wikipedia[1] states Camus viewed suicide as a rejection of freedom. Also the myth of sisyphus doesn't have much to do with suicide does it? I may be mistaken. I thought it was more of an analogy to the condition of man, not so much a suggestion to commit suicide to avoid it.

It's an interesting question though, as I would think that the use of Vantablack in the gallery itself would be a structural use, which limits Kapoor's rights. It's not being used in an artistic work directly, it's being used to highlight other artistic works. In fact, it would be about the only place Kapoor couldn't show any of his theoretical Vantablack work (to my knowledge, he has yet to exercise his Vantablack exclusivity rights). It wouldn't register as existing.
I plan on seeing 8 and 9 (and the intervening Han Solo movie) in the theater on opening day with my brother, like I have for the previous 2.

You keep comparing "Star Wars" to "The Land Before Time". I think you vastly underestimate the popularity of Star Wars, particularly the past 2 movies.
You might be excited by smaller galleries hosting installation rotating artists then. These spaces are more unique and have artists building to complement the specific sites.
It's not a "trial balloon" for a coup. It is form of a coup, albeit of a softer, slower-moving sort.
