@tannhaeuser requesting an assessment of the EUPL (strong or weak copyleft).
Recital (10) of Directive 2009/24/EC on the legal protection of computer programs reminds that the function of a computer program is to communicate and work together with other components of a computer system (a logical and, where appropriate, physical interconnection, done by interfaces). This is known as “interoperability”. Recital (15) of the same directive states that the reproduction of the source code that is indispensable to achieve interoperability does not require the authorisation of the right holder, provide it is done by a person having the right to use that code and provide this use does not conflicts with a normal exploitation of that source code. Therefore, it seems that the directive implements an exception to the author’s exclusive rights. The objective of this exception is to make it possible to connect all components of a computer system, including those of different authors or manufacturers, so that they can work together. Notwithstanding the “strong” copyleft provision of the licence covering one or more of these components, it seems therefore that the legitimate recipient can always link two programs or link (logically or statically) any received code with its own code without being restricted by the copyleft provisions. The recitals of the directive are not transposed as such in the various national laws, but it makes little doubt that the Court of Justice of the EU will find there a motivation for rejecting any claim that “linking makes derivative” or that “linking extends the coverage of a copyleft licence”. This does not invalidate the concept of copyleft, that remains valid on the covered code, but it invalidates the so-called “viral” pretention of some copyleft licensors to extend the coverage of their licence to any linked program.
In other words, the famous distinction between “strong” and “weak” copyleft has little reality according to the EU legal framework.

> I am not sure why Utah has such an odd reputation outside of the state

Part of it is that Mormon influence. As you mention, there are a lot of positive things they bring to the table. Like any other church, though, it's not all positive.

Because they are a dominant proportion of the state (~60% of the population), their religious views leak into politics, public schools, law, business relationships, media, and so forth.

If your values match theirs, it's terrific. If not, you'll run into issues. The Mormon view on LGBT rights isn't terribly progressive, for example. They also didn't allow black males to "hold the priesthood" until the very late 70's. Note that almost all adult males in the religion "hold the priesthood". Not quite enough time has passed for that stigma to have cleared away.
Just because there is a law doesn't mean it's a particularly well written or good law. That's what lawyers are for.

It's passive-aggressive health advice. She sets herself up as an authority and then gives a perspective.

She also has language like this:
"If, like my friends and family, you choose to continue to eat seafood, I would urge you to at least start asking questions."

So "asking questions" is the "least" you can do, she may have a veneer of politeness but her opinion on what people should do is clear.

Further evidence is the flow of her arguments. She starts off talking about the mislabeling of fish, but then says "Let’s say you buy your seafood from a store that correctly labels its fish, or from a fisherman you trust. Maybe you even catch it yourself. But no matter how careful you are..." and then dives into the microplastics.

So even if you are able to bypass her argument about mislabeling, which is filled with a lot of maybes in and of itself, in her opinion you still shouldn't eat fish because plastic.

Yeah, this is the health advice equivalent of "no offense, but... insert offensive thing"
Don't be so sure! I read the SF Police blotter and see plenty of people arrested for suspicion of auto theft because they had "shaved keys" with them.

Skin cancer has risen. It started about the 20's when vacationing and getting tan on vacation (to show off money) became popular - and rose more with the popularity of tanning beds. The conspiracy theory states it jumped upon the introduction of the FM band, but I'm guessing that is just coincidence.

Colorectal cancers would increase because detection has increased. It became fairly popular to get a probe done at a certain age. I seriously can't give these sorts of numbers credit, just like having a percieved increase in autism after including more folks in it and having better screening and awareness.
> It's the same government across the board.

This is an overly simplistic view of a complex bureaucratic entity, the US government.

There are restrictions about the ways in which governmental agencies may share information, and violations of such restrictions are considered serious and are sanctioned as such when they come to light.

This is entirely ignoring the fact that the goals of the various organizations, different departments, and innumerable individuals are often at cross-purposes.

In other words, the presence of governmental authority is not the same as the oppression and exploitation of citizens as a matter of course.

Flaming not necessary. You were not called "wrong." You were asked whether you considered the possibility that you and the OP could be in agreement at least partially.

<EDIT>
And even if you were called "wrong," who cares? it probably just means that your argument "could be wrong" so it's not you. And if it's you, then consider it a great anonymous tip for life improvement! And if you prove that someone else's argument is wrong, then guess what: you just helped a fellow human!

That's certainly true, although it would be helpful to offer some suggestions or somehow try to convince the audience that there might be political alternatives.

If a reader believes that the current system is the best system possible, than these politically-charged complaints sound as futile as politically-charged complaints about being unable to exceed the speed of light.
I can't see how 20% is a 'perfectly just world'. It is not a perfectly just - it is a perfectly random world. If it was 20%, it means that person from every family (wrt. parent's incomes) has equal chance to end up rich or poor, meaning that there is nothing that parents could do to help their child. It means nothing but a totalitarian, concentration camp society, because even if education, healthcare etc. are perfectly equal and free for everyone, there is still a personal example and values taught to the person by his parents that define a lot of his future. If i could not do anything at all to help my children succeed, i'd call it anything but fair.

Of course, reverse - 0% chance - is called a caste system. It is also completely unjust.

Middle ground - 10% - sounds about right.

> There are many people who drive with far too little care. If I am honest, I have done it before in my life. I don't think I know a single driver who hasn't.

I think that's exactly the point OP is making. We have this culture of driving two-ton machines around with little care. It's so culturally institutionalized that when things inevitably go wrong, we sweep it under the rug even though we'd harshly punish a similar level of negligence in a different context.

A more honest way of saying this would be that it wouldn't have worked -- requiring a phone number during onboarding would drastically lower your conversion rates. So what's changed? Is this a generational (grumble grumble millenial grumble grumble) thing?

Also, I'd love to know what sparked your asking this question. I don't see a particular uptick in services requiring a phone number for signup, which is something I'd have definitely noticed as I don't carry a phone.

I am helping my dad code programs that generate some documents that are mandatory to make business in the country...

But that is basically endless work, because the government here keeps changing the laws constantly.

We also have a gigantic website mostly with static pages that needs lots of SEO (almost all our sales come from people find our webpage on google, and calling us).

Still, right now that company doesn't exactly profit, we are using it mostly hoping the economic crisis will end before we run out of open grass field (because the runway ended for quite some time ago already...)

I really want to find some other business to start and see if I can get some short term profits, but I have no idea what to try, most of my ideas doesn't work because my country laws. (brazil won a couple times the dubious honor of being the hardest country in the world to do business :/ I have random companies in my name that I can't shut down because leaving then running is actually cheaper, even if I have pay taxes for business that doesn't nothing... tax law is so byzantine that we are listed as the country where is most expensive to pay taxes, ignoring the taxes themselves, because of the sheer amount of accounting and legal work needed).
I think most people who would say they "don't believe climate change is occurring because they oppose environmental regulations" doesn't actually mean that exactly. They probably mean that they don't trust the scientists who make claims about climate change because they believe that the scientists are politically motivated to push for more environmental regulations.

Starvation is a serious problem. Imagine two cores both trying to get a lock. The lock is held by a cache line in one of the cores. If both cores try to get the lock very often, the core further away may very well never get the lock.

The synthetic benchmark results don't show that because they behave nicely: each thread waits politely in between each attempt to get the lock. Real code doesn't always do that.

>Isn't it the case with every group with strong identity?

It's particularly troublesome in Utah because ~60% of the population is Mormon. It's not difficult to imagine a scenario where you lose your job, or an important supplier relationship because you left the church. Yes, it can happen elsewhere, but there aren't too many places in the US where a single religion is so dominant.

It doesn't even have to involve leaving the church. Choosing not to participate in the mission work that most Mormons do after high school, for example, has some shame associated with it.
The israelis are the reason the world knows about stuxnet because of their hubris and 'fuck-you' attitude. Of course is is believable that they would use the f-35 early to show how big their swinging dick can be with america as their funding bitch... so yeah... I totally believe the israelis could have done this.

The other option is the US did it with the plausible deniability that israel would be blamed in order to test the f-35.

I mean, if it were you, wouldnt you want to test the damn thing in an operation after all the spending and PR the plane has received. Even behind closed doors you'd want to be able to say "See! It works"

It would be nice to know when its appropriate to use these. An unconditional jump has no pipeline penalty and doesn't require speculative execution. These alternative jumps save a single byte per if statement (making code size a tiny bit smaller, and slightly reducing pressure on the I-cache).

Is there a risk of introducing a false dependency? I think the answer is no, because if the following code depends on a flag value or the exact contents of %rax then it's probably incorrect.

Maybe modern processors wouldn't like seeing the same instruction bytes decoding to two different micro-ops? That might trigger some horrible slow fallback path.
I agree that they summarize the current consensus opinion. Cancelled my subscription years ago and rarely read a few articles once and a while. I prefer reading articles where the author's conflicts of interest are clearly disclosed.

Nazi architecture was intimidating and larger-than-life. Which was the point: an individual walking into the Reich Chancellery was meant to feel very, very tiny compared to the state. Dwarfed by the impact of the massive stone, what outside concerns could compare?

There was never really any historical basis or long-standing traditions to lend the Nazis a sort of gravitas, much as they might have wanted it. They believed themselves to be "the master race," yet lacked the sort of history to support their conclusions. So they appropriated everything they could get their hands on to suggest otherwise. The swastika was stolen from Hindu culture and used to suggest that its thousands of years of meaning use there were the result of ancient Aryan ancestors. Nietzsche's work was butchered perverted by his horrible excuse for a sister and her husband to support Nazi ideology. Hitler's theory of ruin value, and the idea of a "Thousand-Year Reich" flipped the lack of historical gravitas on its head, borrowing against an ancient future that didn't exist in order to support their ideology in the present.

If he could build buildings that made Roman ruins look positively provincial, centuries of awe and inspiration towards them could be leveraged by the Nazis. Difficulties and setbacks in the war could be overshadowed in the minds of the German people by the immense power of his buildings. Architecture, for Hitler, was a weapon:

Anyhow, Hitler's idea of a Welthauptstadt Germania betrayed his global ambitions years before the first shot was fired.

Starvation and similar problems have plagued software using locks for a long time. A prominent example which is well documented may be the various problems of the GIL implementation when certain workloads are applied (easiest example is one I/O bound thread and one CPU bound thread, which is also a typical real world scenario - ouch!)

[It should be noted that it is commonly rejected that the GIL is a scheduler, acts like a scheduler or should be a proper scheduler; all of which are untrue. Many locks are used as schedulers as well, which is especially true for a lock that controls execution of any and all code.]
You're absolutely right. Whenever I've received a very stern scolding from a Mormon friend or family member over my decision to stop participating in Mormonism, I've tried to respond by saying that I'm grateful for their deep concern, which demonstrates that they care about me.

It would be nice if we could all believe what we want to without consequences to our relationships, but unfortunately that isn't a realistic expectation in many (maybe most) religious communities.

I'm fond of the system in Texas. If you graduate in the top 10% of your class, you get automatically accepted to any public university in the state (well, any one you apply to).

I had zero interest in extracurriculars or anything of the like, so I was never going to get into a competitive university. But I'm smart, and I have a near-photographic memory, so I aced most of my classes without having to study too much, so I was able to graduate in the top 10% and then went to UT Dallas, which is possibly the best tech school in the southwest. I'm really, really glad I went to UTD; I made lifelong friends there, the people I hung out with really helped shape my interests, I'm still running into UTD alumni everywhere I go, etc.
