Here's the full quote by Greg Olson that was supposedly so offensive:

The most permissive licenses present little risk and few
compliance requirements. These licenses include BSD and
MIT, and others, that have minimal requirements, all the
way to Apache and the Eclipse Public License, which are
more elaborate in addressing contributions, patents, and
indemnification.

In the middle of the spectrum are the so-called ‘weak
viral licenses’ which require sharing source code to any
changes made to the originally licensed code, but not
sharing of other source code linked or otherwise bound to
the original open source code in question. The most
popular and frequently encountered licenses in this
category are the Mozilla Public License and the Common
Public Attribution License.

Restrictive Licenses present the most legal risk and
complexity for companies that re-distribute or distribute
software. These licenses are often termed ‘viral’ because
software combined and distributed with this licensed
software must be provided in source code format under the
terms of those licenses. These requirements present
serious risks to the preservation of proprietary software
rights. The GNU General Public License is the archetype of
this category, and is, in fact, the most widely used open
source license in the world.

It is beyond me how this analysis, which appears to be as objective as can possibly be, can be taken as an insult at all, let alone lead one to conclude that the " Linux Foundation has no respect for FOSS".
Oh come on. Apple has been making huge and increasing profits while teetering on the brink of failure for the last 15 years.

When it is in a proprietary codebase it can potentially be contributed back. Once it is in GPL it is tainted and while similarly to a corporate codebase the original contributer could give a BSD licenced patch back to the BSD project, it diverts other open source contributors away from the original project.

Look at OpenOffice compared to LibreOffice, for an example of this. If there wasn't a GPL version the community would have rallied around the Apache version.
> It's annoying, but not that annoying.

For you, maybe. For me, I have zero intention of going through the hassle when I can just use Linux instead. Any hassles here are easily learned and generally don't _require_ the use of third party stuff doing black magic under the hood.
And I'm old enough to remember the marines from the first Half-Life, who seemingly had an AI that allowed them to flank you, throw grenades at you, and scatter when you threw grenades at them. Of course, most of it was likely very simple behaviors, but it seemed amazing at the time!
The thing that irks me about this the most is how it's the people who were doing exactly what they were told that got hurt the most. The good kids who went to the best school they could get in to, studied whatever they were interested in, and if that thing happened to be literature or women's studies or a wide number of other things you might just spend the next 20 years figuring out how to live with debt you can't pay off.

I was brought up under the faulty assumption that if you graduate from college you get a promising career, so pay whatever that takes. Full stop. My entire generation was. Not one teacher or counselor or advisor ever mentioned anything about cost relative to career prospects, and now it's my smart friends who are getting kicked in the teeth, while the kids like me who didn't listen and dropped out and played with computers are richly rewarded.

I can't even count the number of friends with six figures of student debt and no career on both hands.

I think Peter Thiel was right: for some time Americans believed in a college education so fully, so completely that we ignored the cost, even as it skyrocketed. Couple that with federally-backed loans, and no one even considered the risk. 100% of the risk was put on 18-year-old kids, many of whom had never seen a day in the workforce, paid a bill, or had a job.

A lot of people will make it out unscathed, but for those that don't we lived through (or are living in) a giant secondary education bubble. But this time it's one that you can't bankrupt your way out of.
An anecdote: is that recently I was in a noisy restaurant with an open kitchen (think loud steam blasts and fryers and servers yelling out order numbers) and showing an older friend how far voice recognition had come and it successfully got most of our queries first try and if not, every time second try. This is with English language and asking it to play specific songs. We also have something of a strong accent compared to the san-fran types that presumably trained it (northern England)
US-ISPs allowed to sell browsing history: How to protect your private data
Best Apple-related news I have heard in a long time. Of course its outrageous, that they didn't listen to their customers earlier and reacted quicker, but it is great that they finally do, and also, that they are not shy admitting via this interview, that they changed their course.

Based on how long a product takes to bring to market in a large company, it might have well been the public reaction to the MB Pro release last autumn which woke them up. Just todays spec-bump of the Can takes like 6 months of preparation and planning. And it would fit to the true renewal being about 1 year in the future from today.

It might be to late for some, but I am so glad this is happening. Apple can make great hardware, if they are trying, and this sounds that they are trying again, so I am very curious what they can create.
So you would rather not let them create the 10 jobs (which, compared to many other countries, is quite much)? I mean, they do not only have to "create" them and leave empty, they have to find real working people for them. So even if they were minimum wage, I guess American software architects would not take them. At least in the job market, those "evil" investors have to be somehow competitive (you get what you pay for). And what about those who create a bigger business with bigger salaries? Should they all stay in the home country?
'Big Little Lies' Yields Big Shazam Gains for Michael Kiwanuka, Leon Bridges
I'm not sure. How much does Mozilla actually invest in Rust? Same with Google and Go. I would guess over the past 15 years that Sun/Oracle (Java) and Microsoft (C#/.NET) each annually spend more on language / platform development than everyone else put together does over 5 or 10 years.
I dispute both of those things. The GPL is neither viral nor restrictive.
I use Mac OS because I like a reliable and functional workstation. I switched from Windows to OS X (at the time) specifically because of reliability. The biggest challenge then was application availability.

We have some big Linux advocates in our company, so I've also tried switching to Linux twice before going to OS X, a couple of years apart. The claim from them was always the same, Linux is ready for the Desktop. The problem is that it's been "ready for the desktop" for ten years. I can't imagine ever going to Linux over Mac OS.
I think the reason to keep the Mac Pro above all else is to have a halo product for their Mac OS line. Yeah they don't expect large sales but it should be the best that Apple can do with the technology, a preview of stuff to filter down with appropriate early adopter tax.
> large segments of the pro market

Lots of different types of 'pro' user; there was mention in the post of xcode developers being either the largest market, or the largest growing one. As a developer who currently uses a 2014 MBP (mainly docked), I am very, very likely to be in the market for either a new iMac later this year, or a Mac Pro next year. I'm glad Apple is, finally, looking to address this issue.
I think it is important to keep in mind that AI in games often not only needs to do the smartest thing but actually the smartest thing a human would do.

So in the case of F.E.A.R. the AI is simulating humans so they shouldn't seem smarter than that.

This starts at not microing to well in strategy games and not aiming to well in shooters but is almost limitless in how complicated one can make it.
If the store then came to your house and confiscated your product, you absolutely WOULD have the right to complain.

The store owner could go to jail, because that is called theft.

Screwing over customers has a cost.

This story went viral. And now this business is going to receive hundreds of negative reviews.
Remote machines can't match the local machine in terms of latency. Especially when I'm "remote" from America somewhere in the middle of nowhere where the best connection I can get is a 3G.

But back to your 32/64Gb question. I need it to run my Docker containers. I do trading and stuff.
On the other hand, my loan servicer was changed to some unbelievably poorly managed servicing company years after I had graduated (not one of the big 3-4 companies): think login without ssl, mailing me paper with my SSN printed on it, couldn't get a person on the phone after waiting on hold for hours.

I never choose to make any financial deal with that company and I never would have given any choice. The net result was just that I made it my absolute top priority to pay off the rest of my loans held by them (which was also a very frustrating process, with several rounds of extra interest and surprise tiny fees and more inability to get someone on the phone) but other people wouldn't have that luxury.
that could create imbalance - everyone moving into ads.
This is the key point... Apple will just let it stagnate again after this little flurry of activity.
Just put out a 27" 5K Display with a competitive price (say $1000 - $1200) and they would earn a lot of money with it instead of not even competing.
You're not going to get "rich" only investing $100 at a time. It's a good strategy if you're buying Bitcoin to hedge against fiat though.
Fair enough, but Linux brings hassles of it's own, at least my Linux box does.

I can understand lighter, but thinner? Why do you wish for it to be thinner? I consider it to be thin enough.

While I agree with your conclusions, I nevertheless don't think we should endorse a bad status quo.

When Firefox came around (as Phoenix), it didn't endorse ActiveX, making a lot of sites unusable. It chose fair standards.

What would have happened if they decided that they were too small and that Microsoft was so big that ActiveX would be inevitable anyway ?

Note that eventually the DRM won't affect me. I'm tech saavy enough, so I will always find ways to get around them. I think they arm society as a whole, and that you should say no.

I had an interview proposal with google some years ago. I refused politely. Google is inevitable, I still do have a few gmail addresses and use the SE. And it pays well. And their projects are cool. But I said no because I believe I should not be part of it.

I'm doing my part.

You don't get a democracy if you are not doing your part. Even if it means you will loose. Strategic vote is just promoting immobility.

I'm all for pragmatism, but it has to be used in conjunction with bigger goals.

Now you don't have to be perfect, I'm certainly not, but I still think that M. Lee decision sent the wrong message.
Ok, not geneticists, but radiative transfer is physics. What else would it be?

Austin seems incredibly cheap to me (when considering southern California as the alternative). You can get a nice house on a large lot for less than 500k. It's not in the city center but I prefer having more space anyway. In San Diego and any reasonable commute around it you get a repair project with anything below 500k. Couple the cheaper housing with income tax savings and I see the appeal.
Thiner makes it easier to manipulate when I'm in Cafes/Airplane/On the Couch.
Try using a 12" rMB, than you know why.
The uBlock issue is quite annoying indeed, would love to give it a try without adding exceptions to uBlock.

Also, extracting tags for links stored in Pocket would be very useful. There may be tags you can't extract. E.g. I've tagged a bunch of things as "work". Please add that functionality to your Pocket importer :)

Other than that, I look forward to trying it out! I find Pocket too limited, would love something that's more powerful.
That's what all the effort around Flatpak is for

kotlin is backed by a tooling company. This is a very strong argument. The ones that are doing the best IDE for java (for a lot of people) are the ones that decided to create kotlin. Swift also has the tooling support of Apple, but I only read complains about tooling around Swift. Go and Rust are very niche compare to java or swift, while kotlin can replace java completely and now it is aiming for native backend projects.
Totally agree with advice above, this is the kind of issue the legal system is made for. Additionally I'd suggest you go file in small claims court today. Suspect they will settle just to avoid the hassle... and if you do it quick you might still get your apt. Good luck.
Window management in OSX is horrible.

Finder is even more horrible. It reminds me of the Windows 95 Explorer. A network drive hangs? Good luck with Finder..., the whole system halts.
If I could upvote you 100 times I would. I just want an updated 2008 Pro. It doesn't even have to be the absolute fastest CPUs out there. It just needs to be reliable and fast and ideally quiet too.
Yes -- anything related to data science. Or, like in my case, algorithmic trading.

I used to keep AWS GPU nodes for that, but those are expensive, and it is infinitely more convenient to keep your data close to your workspace, instead of constantly uploading/downloading work batches.
> Going back the the original post - EV is the real value of the company

EV is one way of valuing a company. As is market cap.

> Ford could sell down their debt by issuing more equity

Absolutely. It's logical to say that a company with less debt is worth more than a company with debt. And the same applies in reverse.

Other ways that EV can be distorted, and market cap can be preferred, is whether the company choose to purchase capital assets financed via debt or lease them. For example, a company with big capital assets financed via debt could note that the company would be more profitable if they sold them and leased them back. The company is now more profitable, and its reasonable to say its 'better', but its EV has gone down.
That's right, bicker amongst yourselves on who has it worse, while the owner class makes off with most of the money. But remember, diversity is your strength!
I play all FPSes, CoD including, exclusively for single-player. In fact, if they were MP-only (or had weak SP) I wouldn't buy them at all. What attracts me to CoD is definitely the spectacle; the feeling of being in a Hollywood war movie.

The genre seems well and thriving.
I should add that the profit motive isn't unique to the right, the left just gain viewers through either comedy and satire or mainstream consumerism, which is more acceptable but still doesn't necessarily incentivize the truth, especially if that truth clashes with a sponsor/advertiser.

The BBC definitely has a political bias and I certainly wouldn't rely on it and swallow their coverage, or more often lack of coverage, like my parents would anymore than I would RT but not being puppets of advertisers gives a different view that the US lacks given that NPR is almost a token service that is kept subdued and out of the view of those who don't specifically go to it and is seen as boring instead of hard hitting journalism.

I like free speech advocates on both sides. YouTube has Dave Rubin, Steven Crowder, Sam Seeder and others and the types of guests they have provide a larger view of things. I wish there were more with a less US centric view but the libertarian scene seems much stronger in the US, maybe as a reaction to all the crap.
And here we go with the politics again.

It's GPL vs all the other open source licenses. That's the way it's always been, and that's the way it always will be.

Those who think it'll stifle innovation by locking up novelty in proprietary code will chose GPL.

Those who think it'll stifle innovation by holding back adoption in the free market will chose one of the others.

And the two will NEVER meet. This is a religious war, and neither side will concede even an inch.

Meanwhile, the world goes on, people make things and money, and virtually nobody gives a shit about your arguments.

I have some resource intensive VM's I run, but I also need to be mobile enough to go to different client sites. I could potentially do some of that stuff in the cloud but then the monthly cost starts to get high for just development.
My Kindle is something I simultaneously love and hate.

The device itself I love. It's so convenient and pleasant to use, I find that I read a lot more books. My only complaint might be that Amazon doesn't care enough about typography.

I hate the device because of DRM. Until fairly recently, stripping the DRM was easy. The new file format (KFX) hasn't been cracked yet and I'm not sure it will be. There are workarounds that involve getting the file in an older format, but then you lose all of the KF8 features.
Yep, cloud-based deep learning bla bla bla.

There is an actual reason to use the cloud for apps like this: there is enough data to power the machine learning algorithms at scale. Although I'm a hardware hacker I know I'd never be able to build a homebrew Echo running completely in my own house.

I'm pretty sure you didn't try PowerShell. It is at least as good as bash, if not better.

I find this more problematic on macOS. I was forced to use a mouse much more on macOS. It doesn't even allow me to press the yes/no dialog only using a keyboard. On Windows nearly every item has a shortcut, sometimes even better than GNOME (but worse than KDE, IMO).

Ryad Boulanouar Et Le Compte Nickel
A problem is that many of the higher paying jobs are in cities such as NYC, SF, LA, Boston, DC, (also London, ...) and the housing is expensive in these cities because of "rent-seeking" -- a market failure or market inefficiency caused by an politically induced scarcity of housing through zoning density restrictions. This harms renters and those starting out in life while benefiting wealthy landlords such as President Trump. The fix is a simple one which is to overturn the zoning density restrictions.

In 2002 Japan passed a federal law that gave the federal government control of housing density restrictions: the result is that in 2014 Tokyo built 140,000 homes vs. 20,000 for NYC and less than 90,000 for all of California.

The local politicians are bought off by the wealthy landlords and those just trying to make their life after graduating from college and poor people are paying for it.

What language are you wanting to program in that is awful on Windows? And regarding your other points, Windows scripting story has come a long way in the last few years.

Your concerns sound like they come from many years ago and that maybe you haven't taken a look lately.
The BSD license is developer-centered. It's awesome for developers, mostly avoiding any licensing headache.

The GPL is user-centered. It's not designed to be nice to developers, but to protect the user's freedoms.

So to a first approximation I expect that developers that think more of developer's freedoms favor the BSD license, while developers that think more of user freedoms favor the GPL.
Too late maybe (at least for your personal upgrade cycle), but I don't see how a complete re-think using a modular design, pro monitors, and up-to-date components can be too little. What more were you hoping for?
Ask HN: What is the most valuable remote-friendly software company?
There are clearly many developers enthusiastic about remote work, and articles about how this company I've never heard of or that other company I've also never heard of are so successful being remote-first. It seems like the big four/five are remote tolerant but far from enthusiastic about it. Are any of the unicorns secretly or openly remote-heavy? Is Basecamp the biggest all-remote software company?

(To be clear I am not trying to pass judgment; just curious if it correlates more with lifestyle work than big exit work.)
Ask HN: E2E encrypted cloud for pictures?
Is there any E2E encrypted cloud for storing my images? Ideally without EXIF data. What services do you use?

Wow, what a torrent of negativity on this thread, I didn't see a single positive comment reading through the top level.

This is excellent news, I'm chugging along on a 2010 Mac Pro and was very disappointed when the Apple Displays were cancelled last year. They are a staple of the lineup and always look gorgeous compared to what's on the market. I will definitely be buying the new Mac Pro and 2 displays to go with it. There is absolutely no way I will ever use Windows and having to downscale to an iMac or, worse, a MacBook Pro, when my Mac Pro is finally too old was filling me with dread. By the sounds of things, they are working on making it modular and expandable, also very good news as I like to keep my workhorse computer for a long time.

Overall very excited to see what Apple announce next year!
