Yeah, that's a hopelessly optimistic viewpoint, I fear. I have many hundreds or more contributions, but stopped a few years ago.

Tried coming back and immediately ran into edit wars on a list of fastest production cars, when legions of people were eager to get the Tesla on there on the strength of a press-release of an upcoming release. Rules warring, silent reversion, you name it.

Wikipedia Review (though not without its share of cranks, and now largely dead), shares a pretty good history of the more sordid history of WP.

Either the last stage of the rocket is relit, the satellites can thrust themselves, or the small velocity they're released with over time will put the satellites in different orbits.

A relit final stage can put satellites in significantly different orbits. Satellite thrusters can do a little but only small orbital changes. And just releasing over a period of time will result in each sat being released on the order of 1 m/s which is enough to keep them separated but in the same orbit.
There are two philosophies of copyright. One, that people/companies have a moral right to control their creative output, and the other, that copyright should be granted sparsely when it has a positive impact on society, such as promoting the writing of books.

Since APIs are a byproduct of software development, it is hard to see how it should be copyrightable under the second stance, but easy for the first.

Perhaps granting copyright, but setting precedence that basically any use is fair use, is a good compromise.
From the comments: 'This response from Musk comes across as "when someone has a complaint, attempt to discredit them instead of responding to said complaints," which is just deflection. If Tesla feels that these complaints are misleading and has systems in place to address them, explain those systems and respond to the criticisms themselves, don't attack the messenger.'

Agree with this comment. The details in the article make it seem unlikely that the counter claim that the person in question was a plant of UAW seem unlikely. Unfortunate that Musk didn't use the opportunity to make this a positive response rather than a negative one.
> you're trying to prematurely optimize against your very first impression [...]

No I'm not, and I'm tired of 'the familiarity argument'.

> elmx feels like it just complicates the view code with virtually no benefit.

See my other comments in this thread - I don't agree - JSX being more closely related to the DOM you're building is a significant benefit.

Also empirically in React land, JSX is vastly more popular than not using it.

> The result won't be understood by elm-format.

If ESLint can understand JSX, then elm-format can understand elmx.

> It's something extra that has to be learned by any other developer trying to work on the code

That dev already knows DOM (or will have to do so via their devtools) if they're a front-end dev.

(And React seems to have proven that's not an issue).

> they'll still have to understand the pure Elm code that the elmx compiles to as well

I don't experience this in React. I never think about the 'create dom'-ish JS calls it's translating to.

> Plus it has limitations like not being able to nest code interpolations.

Unless I misunderstand you, JSX can absolutely do this.
I don't think they're incapable of following advice; I think they have a lot of competing demands on their time. Any bullet on this list needs to earn its place, and the list itself needs to work without requiring constant updates, because most people who use the list will only see a single snapshot of it in time.

they have graal, sulong, I also cloud is doing fine :)
Just to add a little nuance - the difference is in flow vs stock of customers. Very few existing EBS customers are reimplementing in Cloud because of the time, cost, and loss of customizations. It doesn't make sense.

New customers are being forced into Cloud by the Oracle sales team. The sales reps literally receive no compensation for on-prem (EBS) deals, and they must go through a lengthy approval process just to offer a prospect the on-prem solution. Thus everyone is being guided to Cloud, whether or not it is the right solution for the customer.

Signal requires a phone number, Wire does not.
I forget who said something like this, but "the danger is not in being heard. The reality is in having a good idea and having to repeat yourself over and over."
Google was found in violation of copying some source code if I am not mistaken, but this is about whether the concept of an API itself should be copyrightable, (how many ways can you write an API for a function that adds two integers together?) and that's the big problem here. If handled badly, it can literally kill the software industry.

What I don't get is Oracle not realizing that this could kill their SQL business if IBM decides to do some suing.
> Our understanding is that this guy was paid by the UAW to join Tesla

Calling it his "understanding" gives him a lot of latitude to say anything that happens to be convenient without offering any evidence. Let's check back if he actually produces any. Until then, we should be aware it's lazy and dangerous for the media to present opposing sides of just any point as equally legitimate when one side has a definitively greater burden of proof.

They should charge a small amount of money to maintain a "Facebook account", and argue that responding "Happy Birthday!" is repayment of a debt via the increased ad exposure. The birthday reminders themselves also have a monetary value, based on the conversion rate.

I wish intent and end result counted more strongly. Andoid's compatibility isn't transitive: once code goes through the Android build pipeline to produce an Android Application it cannot be meaningfully used in the context of Oracle Java; it's a one-way transformation to remain "talent-compatible" with a large pool of Java developers and reuse the base of Java libraries.

Projects like OpenJDK and WINE are efforts to provide an alternate execution environment for code that is mutually beneficial to the ecosystem, although perhaps not the wallets of the original owner. A commercial venture ought to qualify here if the intent is to compete on equal footing -- code targeting OpenJDK can run unmodified on Oracle Java, code targeting WINE can run unmodified on Win32, thereby not limiting the original creator's rights.

However, Android Apps contain unrelated public APIs as part of the exported code, and a full packaged Android App cannot meaningfully run on Oracle JDK, despite portions of the standard library looking and behaving alike. This fragments the ecosystem and essentially allows Android to benefit from the works of the Java rightholders without making those contributions equally as useful to Oracle Java itself.
Which positions have been taken by Trump that you feel are so good that it should cut cross all biases etc?

I mean, some people get it wrong sometimes. Sure. And Trump seems to get it wrong a lot. I'm not so sure there should be any position by Trump that can be seen as indisputably good.

Sounds like false equivalence on your part.
How important is it for you to know that the world is round? What would change in your life, if you didn't know that seemingly important fact? How about that homeopathic medicine is a fraud, or that global warming is man made or that vaccines don't cause autism? If you were wrong about all of those things, what changes about your life right away? That's why people don't exercise critical thinking. It just doesn't matter if you know the truth about things, for most people, most of the time. (Until it does, of course, and you die of cancer because you tried to pray it away instead of getting chemo).
Curious to hear your reasons for calling Red Hat a dark horse. (Which I presume is some kind of slur/holds a derogatory meaning)

> Surely a document describing a useful software interface (GUI, CLI, API) is a creative work and takes effort to produce.

Sure, but they didn't copy said document. Comments, documentation etc. were not used. Implementation was not used.

The things that were the same were the method signatures and side effects. Is that copyright? I would argue its clearly not.
* Purpose of the use -- Gogole's use wasn't transformative, in fact it was explicitly the opposite.

* Nature of the use -- Google could try to argue that their use was for the public benefit, but since the Android platform exists for business interests it probably shouldn't qualify.

* Amount and Substantiality -- Google basically took it all. There's no case here. They took not just the signatures but their semantic meaning (i.e. the thing that makes an API useful) as well. There's really not much else to an API design document.

* Effect on the market -- This one should be obvious. This directly hurts Oracle. Their implementation diminishes the market for the original. At least that's what their lawyer claims.

> Google concedes it put that code to the same use in the competing Android platform, for what this Court already has deemed "entirely commercial" purposes. And Google reaped billions of dollars while leaving Oracle's Java business in tatters.

Ehh, "supplements" are just the operationalization (assembly-line-ization) of people consuming herbs for medicinal purposes. People have always done that, and I expect will always do that. Inconsistent dosing and random side-products are inevitable consequences, but nobody seems to mind.

Though, I'm surprised there isn't a small movement of "home pharmacologists" who buy herbs (or supplement pills/powders) and then distill/reflux/recrystallize out the active ingredients and re-portion them into dosing media for their own use.
I believe this to be an example of the well known cognitive phenomenon that psychologists refer to as Monkey See, Monkey Do.
It's actually not derogatory:
"A dark horse is a little-known person or thing that emerges to prominence, especially in a competition of some sort, or a contestant that seems unlikely to succeed."

Dark horse in this context means other companies unlikely to actually buy it, or win the bidding war. Its not any sort of slur that I'm aware of.
Part of it seems to be saying you can't charge people extra fees to use paypal.

I know sellers sometimes try to do the same thing with credit cards, charge extra fees to credit card users.
Yeah. The only reasonably secure option for Android requires you to own a Nexus device within the window Google pushes security updates regularly. Or you flash it yourself to keep it up to date regularly. And even that is kind of dicey unless its just Google apps + Signal + verifiable OSS.
Per wikipedia: "A dark horse is a little-known person or thing that emerges to prominence, especially in a competition of some sort, or a contestant that seems unlikely to succeed."

In this case I would imagine it's because Red Hat is pretty tiny compared to IBM/Google/Oracle and could not put up a comparable amount of money for the purchase.
I think tyteen4a03 is making light of specifically how the sentence was parsed. It was likely an editing or drafting error, because it should have originally been "... first computer language compiler in 1952." The article as presented currently makes it seem as if there's a programming language referred to by the name "compiler" that she helped develop.
Facebook is borderline scammy with it's practices. I few months ago I made a mistake of installing Facebook Messenger (which is now only called "Messenger" in the Play Store) to communicate with a friend who was in town. To use the app I had to verify my phone number. When my friend left town, I removed the app. To my surprise, I kept receiving notifications from an app called "Messenger" which is not accidentally also how the SMS app in stock android is named.
There is no way to disable it from my phone and after 15 minutes of looking around I could not find a way to fully disable it in the browser either. I could remove my phone number from the account entirely, but then I would not be able to use sms to recover my account. The best I could do was to set the maximum number of messages to 1 per day.

That, and you also can't change your relationship status to married retroactively without Facebook notifying every person in your contact list.

I didn't say anything about bulletproofed, just explained. Right now, there's no explanation, and I'm asking for some justification, how are you getting "bulletproofing" from that?

I didn't say the authors are selling snake oil. But if a person doesn't know much about a subject, they may not be able to tell, and they should be suspicious. They might want to see a review or criticism of it. They might want to verify that it's well intentioned, especially on a sensitive subject such as this. There's nothing zany about that, it's common sense.

If I find some information source that presents itself as an arbiter of truth, but has no justification for its points, I cannot in good faith recommend it to anyone.

The only angry one here seems to be you, with many unnecessarily rude responses that do not at all inspire confidence.
Oracle is such a shit company. There are still some great hackers there but Larry Ellison is an asshole, and I don't envy anyone who has to work for him even indirectly. "Left Oracle's Java business in tatters" eh? Where was their mobile OS? Their Dalvik?

The wounds to Java have all been self-inflicted. If they succeed in copyrighting the API then where does this leave OpenJDK? Operating at the mercy of Larry fucking Ellison, which means not at all.

I've got 17 years of Java experience under my belt, but frankly with Docker + Kubernetes for deployment and new system languages like Rust and Go I'm thinking it's time to jump ship. Or even to C# since apparently MS got the memo on Open Source (not to mention the need for integrated platform modularization - no more Maven hell! Yay!).
I think the parent's point was that things marketed as "homeopathic" usually have their active ingredient diluted into non-existence, so they're pointless to take for relief of the claimed symptom. Slapping the label "homeopathic" on something that actually does something is really annoying, then, because it'd make you assume it did nothing.
Dark Horse is the horse in the race nobody thinks has a chance of winning, but comes out near the front in the final seconds (surprising everybody). You could've just Googled it.

I was hoping for an interesting read. Instead it was another politically-fueled piece on HN.
The sequence, structure and organization of those method signatures, in those 37 Java packages, were all GPL'd in the OpenJDK in 2007 by Sun. Regardless of whether API's can be copyrighted or not, Google had every right to use the code Sun GPL'd.
The semantic meaning of the signatures IS the API. The whole forms the interface. This includes bugs, weird behaviour, shortcomings.
Show HN: I made a surf app – whentosurf.co
A fair number of sleeper agents like this have been outed over the years. Another example that comes to mind is the KGB agent couple on which the TV show "The Americans" was based: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/07/discovered-our...

FBI Operation Ghost Stories arrested 11 people back in 2010. https://vault.fbi.gov/ghost-stories-russian-foreign-intellig...

What I'm wondering is: how many other agents are out there and haven't been caught yet? Or were here and left without being caught?

I wonder if this type of agent is still in active use, in the sense of seeding more of them. Given the arrests just 7 years ago, I'd guess so. But perhaps not, since hacking and electronic surveillance can be so effective. You don't necessarily need an agent within a country's borders to penetrate a lot of their networks, email, and other communications.

But you never know ... what lengths would Russia go to to get an agent TS/SCI clearance and access to a SCIF?

Hi HN!

Two months ago I started my journey to learn to code and build my first app. The result is When To Surf, it tells you the best time to surf wherever you are.

"Dark horse" isn't a slur or pejorative in general. It's roughly equivalent to "long shot" or "underdog" or something like that.

Ask HN: How do you make big bucks and get out of grinding?
Like everyone else here, I work for a tech company. I work and live in Seattle. I make around 130k with nearly 10 yrs of experience.

It seems though, I am grinding without a lot results. I was in bay area before with dieing tech company.

I have tried to see if I can do my own side project or startup, but I have not gone past idea. I don't know frontend development and I don't feel motivated to learn due to 60 to 70 hrs (including travel) each week.

All I do is get up, go to the work, go to gym, work again and sleep. No wonder that I am lifelong single person and despite being in shape no woman has shown interest in me or agreed to date me.

I don't know if I am burned out.

I can't figure out how can I get out of rust and daily grinding. I want to make big bucks 300k or more. I know goog/fb pay that much; but I don't have master's degree to command that much salary. I am not a native American as well.
I am 31 by the way.

A more trickily written article you could not find. Oracle is busting their humps to get major ESC on their clouds but they've missed the chance on some of the really outlandishly big fish.

Time will tell if they manage to met BofA or a similar ultrabig FI and that could be called a success, but short of that all they can do is pay folks to write wrongheaded quarterly analysis and say "gosh isn't this better than Amazon?"

Which is totally absurd. Comically so.

And from the perspective of actually using their tech, you're better off scooping a mug of old compost and dumping it in a sizzling pan of oil and letting the oil spatter burn you. It will be a more enjoyable experience.
