> what's left when everything is already illegal?

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

There are plenty of other ways to address this that are not legislative. A legislative approach would only be counter productive. When people are breaking the laws, making more laws doesn't help.

We would probably get much better reduction in these types of events if we spent the same resources on supporting mental health issues than wire tapping the internet.
> is not a free software license

Not sure which standards you are applying here, but AGPL is accepted by FSF, DFSG and OSI. It is clearly a FLOSS licence regarding whatever authority you want to cite.

(And just to be clear, we are talking about the latest version of AGPL, AGPLv3, right?)

> For example, given an AGPL full text search program expected to run over a web interface (and offer source over that interface), I cannot adapt it to run over postcard, SMS, or amateur shortwave radio.

Can you cite any laywer or AGPL representative who shares that interpretation?

Otherwise, Poe's Law is strong here. What's the point, for the sake if a civil discussion, in deliberately misinterpreting the AGPL in such an exaggerated way?
Conference organizers and conference presenters/attendees are two different sets of people with wildly different objectives and values.
Agreed. Stupid cars and airplanes! Should have never stopped using horses!
It's still high time to withdraw any and all support from the people who have to gain from terrorist attacks. The likes of Theresa May and the war criminals she probably hands with, the "security industry" that is working so hard to make the world less secure for the innocent and more secure for those who want to hide their guilt.

Te real way to curb terrorism and other crime is to have more sane parents who have more time for their kids, more affordable education, that sort of thing. War, poverty, etc.; what happens today determines the tragedies of the next 30 years. We'd need to be very different, much better societies for at least a few decades for any real change.

But the people like May don't want that. They want more of what uproots us, and they want power that can be used nilly-willy, both against criminals and anyone else. Notice how you can't use "honest parents who give their children hugs and answer their question" against innocents the way that "fights crime". Don't tell me it's about resources, it's about intent which in turn results from dysfunction and psychopathology. They need to control the narrative because a mirror would kill them, that's the gist. Be the mirror.

All life modifies its environment one way or another. We do so in greater magnitude that's all. And often irresponsible modifications. Abstract reasoning (mostly) sets us somewhat apart from the rest of animals. Nothing special as far as it goes.

Listen conference organizers, if you actually cared about diversity in our industry and not just optics, you would find the best possible speakers regardless of their "grouping" and then get as many scholarships to people who wouldn't normally come to your conference. In other words, you are doing it backwards.

One of the great problems I, and those I work for, have is getting quality educational resources to the particular minority population I serve. My blood boils when I hear stupid crap like this because you are actively doing it wrong and worse: freezing out the people you want to help by not helping them grow and generating bad will in everyone else. We need the best experts to train and lecture people.
That's a good point and something the article doesn't mention: creating a stable colony off planet effectively cuts in half our risk of extinction due to impacts, supervolcanoes / god knows what horrors.
It's very good for the loan part of the equation, but it's still often hard to compare lease plans when the depreciation etc is factored in. After all, some kind of unknown valuation of the condition of the car will happen after N years and it's nearly impossible to know beforehand what cost that will incur.
I assumed as much. The question was half-rhetorical, though: such regulations did not and could not prevent what happened. There seems to be a law of diminishing returns on regulation: sure, common-sense things like not allowing weapons to mentally ill people go a long way, but increasing regulation past a certain point doesn't reduce problems and only restricts freedom.

So in that case, the question becomes, has the UK already passed that point for internet regulation? I don't know the answer, but I assume that plotting specific attacks or making specific threats online is punishable in the UK just as it is in the US.
It’s no rose garden over here either. The Lorraine TGV station is built in the middle of nowhere, halfway between Nancy and Metz, because both cities wanted a train station.

> Because, using a story that did not happen like Icarus to justify your world view is hubris.

The story of Icarus, written by a human within his own world view, is part of our collective history. The events in the story not being real has no relevance at all on its philosophical implications.
It was the 1800s. I'm sure that 150 years from now, everything you and I are writing now will be offensive in ways we don't understand today.
You can follow the chain of events here:

This seems more like poor planning than anything else to me. Github's culture is such that they have no problems with abruptly cancelling the event after they are called out. However, if that's their culture, you would think some diversity plan would have been baked into the speaker selection process.

At the very least, they could have injected their own speakers, right? I assume, given the way they work, that they have some female staff that's knowledgeable on Electron.
It is really worth considering that this conference used a blind review process[1]. Subsequently, there is zero chance that the reviewer's decisions were influenced by racism or sexism.

As a society, we need to consider the implications of what is going on here. In what way could this move possibly be said to be anti-racist/anti-sexist? It just isn't. If anything, abandoning your speakers because they are male/white (presumably), is itself bigoted. Consider how it would feel to be bumped from a speaker line up because of your race/gender.

I'm disappointed in how many comments here are just kneejerk reactions. Reaching for weird comparisons, getting angry at the idea of diversity and social justice, and many others.

This wasn't enforced from outside. It's the organisers who agreed: yup, that's not what we want to do (https://twitter.com/nmsanchez/status/870811022306574336)

Stop for a moment, think of how you'd organise a conference. Is it different? Will people find it inviting? Will they find it interesting? Go ahead, and organise it! Every community and group of organisers can shape the events they create the way they want to. ElectronConf organisers made such choice.

For the people that worry so much about speakers... I haven't done many talks (2 bigger events), but if I heard my talk was delayed so the conference can be rebalanced / less of a white sausage party, I'd be glad. Others may not share that opinion. But don't assume everybody will.

Edit: Yes, there are better and worse ways to go about it. Realising too late and reverting the original list was not the best. Reaching out to / inviting diverse groups rather than fixing balance later would be better. Hope they learned and will do it better next year. Organisers which care about it from the beginning somehow manage to get a decent m/f split - both in the audience and in the speakers. (see linux.conf for a good example)

Edit2: A few people assume that talks will be dropped / replaced as a result. I don't know what the organisers are planning, but there's always an option of adding another room/stream. Until any talks are confirmed as dropped, this is just baseless speculation.
With this, i will probabbly not access hacker news again haha. Your list is basically what i search for in here.

Because Authy is SMS-based it's subject to phone number hijacking. If someone manages to convince your mobile carrier to enable your number on their SIM then you just lost all your 2FA protection. There are also ways to hack the SMS system so that you don't even need to have your phone number ported to fall victim.
I read a passage (Revelation 8) that could very well describe a nature catastrophe instead of godly will. Also other stuff like Job 26:10 ("He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.") which describes day/night boundary on earth quite well.

That made me think. What if there is other stuff that could actually be related to secular events and knowledge.

And so I started to read from the beginning.
Genesis is very interesting actually. I noticed it is mostly inspired by earlier literature, like Arthasis, Gilgamesh and the like.
Now I am totally into reading mesopotamia literature and origin stories all over the world. Maybe someday I am done with that and I can backtrack to advance further than Genesis in the bible. Time will tell.

So far it has certainly enlightened my view on early mankind.

They closed all loopholes regarding software that runs on the user's computer.

For software that is used over the network (such as web applications), the GPLv3 grants the rights only to the server admins, because in the spirit of the GPLv3 these are the users of the software. In contrast, AGPLv3 states that in this case the real end users are those receiving the granted rights.

I agreed with this in the past but I was happy to see ISIS driven back from the territories they conquered. I wish we had never gone to war with Iraq and I wish we hadn't cheered during the 'Arab Spring', however that is now in the past. I care about what we do now and whether it can disrupt a violent ideology that is currently rapidly spreading from one person to the next across the world. The less violently it can be disrupted the better.
What? Are you going to force them? People write C because it is convenient, productive, and popular enough to attract contributors and find tools. C has the best dynamic analysis and debugging tools of really any language.

You can think yourself superiour and turn up your nose, but the fact remains that many people have perfectly good reasons to write and maintain C. Your haughty commentary has no impact on that.

You may think that bounds checking is the answer to all situations, but if you're writing a realtime system, there's often no point in running the program if it can fail from an out of bounds read or write anyway. In a flight control system, or an ECU, there is often nothing productive about crashing. You need to verify your pointer logic, instead of hoping your program will crash.

Interesting. For me, I use the color and font and size of the book to rapidly find it rather than having to actually stare at every book and look at the title... standardizing all books would make them much more difficult for me to rapidly find.
I am against may's plan, but pushing terrorist propaganda into the dark would be a good thing.
The harder it is to find for authorities, the harder it is to find for impressionable people.

The argument is not to keep terrorists from communicating internally, but to keep them from publishing.

Whilst it is great to be able to tag music files with masses of MB metadata, I have a feeling that the true value of the MB database has yet to be realised.

Because of the underlying design and relationships between albums and recordings and musical pieces (or works), once it reaches some level of critical mass you can start to mine the data for things like:

Who has recorded versions of Vivaldi's Four Seasons Spring in London?

Which artists have recorded both Greig's Piano Concerto and Chopsticks?

Who has recorded "A Day in the Life" other than by the Beatles?
I did some research on that and turned into this. It should give you an idea of how and why.

Well, in order to live well together, people do need to remain alive. There's an argument for creating off-world colonies to reduce the chance of human extinction by any one catastrophe (asteroid impacts, supervolcanoes etc).

I definitely think it's important to learn to coexist with our fellow humans, as well as other life forms, here on earth, but / and it will be hard to do that if we all catch fire and die.
We as humans haven't yet learnt to co-exist with other animals and maintain the equilibrium on Earth. What makes us think we are going to treat Mars any better?
Please don't get me wrong, I am all for exploring the planets, in fact I am annoyed that we don't yet have the technology to visit a system like TRAPPIST-1.
But unless we learn to be considerate towards nature and other species which inhabit this planet we are not going to be good residents on other planets. Just my two cents.

No but if she says the Conservatives have cancelled it for the day and the other parties don't they'll get crucified by the right wing press (particularly print).

So you are buggered if you do respond and buggered if you don't.
Decades of experience teach us (1) that the great mass of buggy C code is simply not going away, and the best we can hope for is that it dwindles into more niche situations (compare Fortran and COBOL: those codebases haven't gone away either); and (2) that mitigations at the hardware and system software level are of at least some use, if they can be implemented without breaking a significant chunk of that great mass of existing C code. My impression is that "make arrays track their sizes and trap on bad accesses" may be a valid-to-the-standard C implementation but it breaks too much real-world code (I don't have references to hand though, so it could be a wrong impression).

Different loopholes. V3 closes the idea of pretending to give someone permission to modify and share software, but then using encryption or patents to make it impossible in practice. Like selling a car but then withholding the ignition key.

AGPL closes the idea that someone just ship a thin client and have everything running on a server, which is an experience that can be almost indistinguishable from receiving a copy. Since GPL explicitly do not treat the transmission of a copy and using a service as identical, AGPL go as far as copyright allows and tries to fix that.
Beautifying old HTML
I can answer why. The writers are not all developers. One of them has Linux as a daily driver but I do not believe they have Vulkan working. So, they just opted to not mention it, which is better than making things up.

Theoretically, Vulkan should be great for Linux users, since GL took a large hit when tev_fixes_new got merged. But I haven't tried it either :)
Everything you say is true, but a very simple compiler with little/no optimisations should be quite easy to write. Indeed it is often coursework in undergraduate compilers courses (for source languages simpler than Rust). The main difficult would be the type-checker, but you could reuse the existing one, for it does not affect run-time performance.
