Is it wrong that I really don't care? The OpenSSL license is a historical disaster, and Apache 2.0 is just infinitely preferable. Everyone is up in arms about the principle of the thing, but can't we just agree to fix the license? Does anyone not want this?
Here is the thing : paid subs means customer service. I think Twitter doesn't want to bother with that. They'll have to get a customer service for each country in which they operate, pay some people locally to manage it, ...

Most people I know who casually pirate things don't even use torrents, they use streaming websites, file lockers, Kodi plugins, etc. Which offer similarly no risk of getting caught. I was simply using Popcorn Time as the extreme example of the level of ease it can be at.

None of these are exactly out-of-the-way high-effort options. There's no increased effort - you just don't bother trying to do so via Netflix. Any of these can be Googled in a few minutes. DRM does nothing to prevent them.

The legal risk you're talking about is just that though - nothing to do with DRM, everything to do with a legal threat. Note that it's more effective than DRM.

Even those who do go out of their way somewhat to improve the piracy experience don't go that far. I wouldn't compare configuring a typical Usenet+Sonarr+CouchPotato+Plex rig to breaking down a door, and that's pretty much the most advanced sort of setup you can get. It may require slightly specialized knowledge, but it doesn't require specialized intent usually. The intent is still the same as that of the casual pirate, it's just a tradeoff of upfront effort for later ease.
Yes. See https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=149028593819547&w=2 (and the HN discussion about the OpenSSL license change) for the context of the sarcasm.

Yes, see https://marc.info/?t=149028609000002&r=1&w=2 for some context. One of the other comments summarised why this is funny.
This is not because of X11 the protocol though, just implementation bugs. Thus not a good reason to start from scratch.
Ask HN: Are large corporations with fraudulent IT managers the norm?
Is it your experience, that the people who make it to the higher ranks in the IT departments of large corporations are for the most part frauds? By that I mean both ways i) Are not really good at technology but good at politics and ii) Mainly work to improve careers, even if it hurts the company.

Edit: can we name the bad ones, so that other developers dont have their careers damaged and hard work wasted?
I am always looking for remixes of Beatles music. I used to just type "Beatles remix" into YouTube, and play tacks from there.

I decided to automate a bit, add some keywords other than "remix" and soup up the interface a bit.

discopedia was born

you can click on the track listing to play

UNFORTUNATELY, right now, the play feature only works on full featured desktop web browsers like Chrome, Safari, IE, Opera, etc. It does not work on iOS devices or Android.
I live in SoCal and have lived in or worked in most other parts of the country, including Seattle. You are only seeing SoCal from the ground level: looking straight across the earth, yes, it looks green right now. I did a trail run this afternoon, I definitely agree it's green. But it's still a light green. Some of the palms are still yellow. Get in a plane and look down. You have no idea how brown it still is. You fly that plane to Seattle, there's three layers of green canopy, held up by trunks covered with green moss, rising indistinguishably from the ground which is also dripping with green.
That's actually a pretty smart idea. But the subscription idea seems pretty weak to me. I mean, how many people actually have 1 million+ followers to pay $99/month?
The CIA exploits are important because most people never update anything. It doesn't matter if you have fixed the OS for the exploit if the fix is never installed.
I hope that this goes ahead, it would be great to see us doing something other than propping up and supporting our fossil fuel industry.
re 8: in favor of ec2 role credentials via the metadata service?
Interesting idea. Has this ever been discussed on HN before?
So are you saying anything with a runtime is not native, even if embedded in an executable? Is a go app native?
Maybe, but in the meantime I can't imagine a scenario where such a direct financial threat to a business isn't vigorously defended by Symantec. I'm not a lawyer, but certainly they must be working to determine if they have a legal basis for seeking an injunction against Google. They could even be building some sort of legal theory based on tortious business interference, contending that Google is doing irreparable harm by trying to come between Symantec and the expectations of its paying customers.

No sale.
That's the point: Does anyone _not_ want this?

A group of people can't just get together and decide to 'change' the license of something when they are not the owner of said thing. In this case, contributions to OpenSSL. You're welcome to "want" OpenSSL to be under MyFavoriteLicense but at the end of the day when you use it and lawyers come after you because someone's contribution _wasn't under MyFavoriteLicense_, it's your fault.
I exaggerate somewhat, but all three are low-quality and further development appears to be abandoned.

Sure! Sorry, I had not previously added an explanation. I just added one now.

It does precisely what you just said. It takes your keyword and adds one or more keywords.

Beyond that, it groups results by keyword, and if you are on a full desktop browser, you can click on a track listing to play the track.

You can also keep searching while a track is playing.

It was meant to scratch a constant itch I have while coding... to hear Beatles remixes. I also found lots of Guns N Roses and Led Zeppelin remixes.

Its not technically challenging... but rather a better experience for an action that I found myself doing alot, and brought me pleasure.

So you don't think the background knowledge you gained about web dev in 6-7 months of studying python helped you pick it up faster in Go?

> for 6-7 months, I was still reading tutorials, and every 6 months a new version of framework would come up

So, according to you, the invention of ONE new python framework caused you to rewrite everything you had been working on? What frameworks did you switch between? Why?

Golang is a popular language now, and there are going to be frameworks coming out all the time. There are already lots of Golang webdev frameworks. Imagine if you were starting with Go now, and you learned something like Revel (https://revel.github.io/) before learning how to make web apps with the standard library. Or imagine you spent 6 months learning a framework and then decided to jump to a new one when another one came out.

Also, from perusing the introduction to your Golang book, it seems like you were lacking knowledge of HTTP and other standards. I find that it's very difficult for anyone to learn web development without at least understanding a little bit about HTTP first. Only once you understand how all web development is the same, can you evaluate the ways that different languages do the job of writing HTTP servers.

In a similar vein, there's pi ≈ 3 (within 5% error). When we've an issue with high-school students having an infirm grasp of the very concept of volume, it seems an odd allocation of effort to have middle-school students struggle with 4/3 pi r^3, while failing to tell early primary-school students that "the volume and area of a ball are about half that of the box that wraps it".

Yeah. Understand that. But journals are not charity. Someone has to pay for publication and distribution. It is either readers, authors or funding providers. Or you could get rid of the costly midman/publishers, but I am not sure an academic world with preprint servers only would be a better one.

Not OP, but Toronto at least has high-ish wages to go with the high rents. In Vancouver, you make less than $100k per year as a dev. And that's CAD, not USD, so under $75k USD.

As multiple people have pointed out, sea ice does not itself appreciably cause sea level rise. It's like an ice cube floating in your drink -- it is already displacing the water, so that when it melts your glass is not suddenly more full. (Hopefully this makes sense to you -- clearly a glass completely full of ice and water does not overflow when the ice melts).

Ice on land _does_ cause sea level to rise, and there has been sea level rise over the last century. Also losing sea ice has other effects, like causing the ocean to heat more rapidly (ice has higher albedo than the ocean). So you would expect to see water temperatures rising, disproportionally in arctic and antarctic waters where there is lots of sea ice coverage being lost. In fact this is exactly what the data show.

Hello, unfortunately I did not include some basic instructions in this post:

The site allows you to play the track (from YouTube) if you are on a desktop browser.... it wont work from iOS or Android.

You are right, there is currently no YouTube link. I could add that. You should be able to at least play the track from the site.

It sounds like you may not like the UI. I can understand. It is certainly not standard. At least I can explain some rationale: I realized that I was building a search engine, and integrating a player. I wanted the search aspect to look very different and unique.

I do appreciate your input sincerely.

I can't figure out why you've added this ridiculous "need to use their computer" part, that would be necessary for a successful lawsuit but suing random Netflix users will look terrible even if the court clears them in the end. But OK...

WPA2 is reasonably secure, but most home instances aren't set up well. They often have WPS enabled or a guessable password. Plus weaker set ups are still easy to find. Once you're on, redirect Netflix to a site to grab their info, record the stream from a computer outside their house. This is needlessly complex for what is needed, find a compromised Netflix(+email?), record.

Affirmative action is quantifiable and blatant racism/sexism.

> They're daring you to sue them, in which case you would be required to provide a list of the parts of the code that you claim copyright over, which they could then attempt to excise via black-box reimplementation

Reimplementing after you are sued for copyright violation doesn't get you off the hook for the past violations, including enhanced damages for willful infringement, for which this would seem to be an open and shut case.

In English, Justin Trudeau is not the premier of Canada, he is the Prime Minister. The problem with the translation is that the machine translator would need to know specifically about Prime Ministers as a linguistic category, and know that Justin Trudeau is in that category. The Chinese side of the translation does not encode the difference.

This could be a problem for paranoid downstream users, who do not know which license they are required to comply with.

This could also be a problem if anyone ever tries enforcing the license, as the defendant could argue that it is covered by whichever license you are not claiming to enforce.
That's actually a great idea, you charge the people who benefit the most from the service (IMO) and you charge more the more they benefit from it.

It also correlates to the amount of resources used - the more resource intensive a user is the more he pays.

It's also completely backwards to how social networks tend to work - you incentivize engagement not penalize it.

If it works it will be a genius move, if it fails it will take the company with it.

Not really. Especially not on Hacker News. There's an expectation when someone says native app that you're getting a binary that you compiled from source you created with a reasonable expectation of performance.

No one thinks native as being a webview wrapped executable where the authored source is actually a series of HTML, CSS, and javascript. They just don't. Calling it "native" is a misnomer.
> GNOME does have a history of starting over from scratch every few years;

The GNOME project will be 20 years old in a couple of months. So while it might feel like "every few years", we really don't change direction all that often.

As you can imagine, those that show up to do work have a great deal of say in where the project goes.

> you probably had a good reason for writing Builder instead of working on Anjuta, and that's just the way the GNOME community seems to do things.

> This makes people, especially power users, disproportionately angry because when you rewrite something

You've sort of made my argument for not changing Anjuta over the years. We knew the amount of stuff that had to be changed would leave both the code-base and UI looking very little like Anjuta. Best to let people continue using it in the mean time.

(Assuming this is true....) Because if they're stuck supporting old versions of Dropbox, they're miserable (having to support dozens of versions) and you're miserable (things start to break).

Honestly, I would love to pay Twitter to manage something like a Kafka queue. I would build entire apps with Twitter as my "DB". The subscription cost would come with tiered rate-metering, so I could make a small app feed for free, but a larger app would start to incur costs when I wanted to up the throughput.
The point of everything I have said is that it would take only a small quantity of methane, relatively speaking, to make a significant contribution to global warming. You don't need to emit as much methane as would match all the warming caused by current levels of CO2. Even an extra tenth of a degree is bad news. Every tenth of a degree shaves off a decade from the time we have to fix our planet. Any significant source of greenhouse gases.
Or encourage Twitter to generate fake accounts by themselves to adjust their revenue curve...
Good points.

Though this is not a phone app and Dropbox does have a history of mistakes causing data loss.
