17 USC Sec. 203 also covers derivative works and the fact that they remain distributable under the original terms (though future derivative works are up in the air if your interpretation holds water, which I still don't really buy).

Further, revocation of copyright on works with multiple authors must be signed off on by a majority of copyright holders, per the law you've cited. That's literally impossible with something like Linux (but maybe not with something like Arduino, if it only has a tiny number of authors, I don't know).

If it's so simple and obvious, why has it never happened in 30+ years of GPL software, when billions of dollars are at stake?

"The general American (Anglo-American, I think, as I'm fairly certain the principle is a common law one which is older than the US) of licenses."

Many things in "common law" have been replaced by written legislation and case law. Modern copyright bears no resemblance, and only has only tenuous connections, to common law. Copyright is among the most debated and litigated categories of law in the modern world, with legislation, legal precedent, and even international treaties covering it. If your position is that it is as you say because common law is as you say, that just sounds really shaky. Now, I need to ask you to back up the assertion that "common law" is the law in force on copyright in any developed Western nation, because that seems to be the crux of your interpretation of the law.

I don't know, man. I'm not an expert, by any means, but I'm just not following your reasoning here, at all.

My understanding of the GPL is that it is a one way street for released code. New releases can be under a new license if all of the authors agree to it, but once something is out there under the GPL, it is always under the GPL. Nothing you've said makes me think otherwise because the weight of precedent seems to disagree with you.
I think it's fair to question a type being auto-derived to be Sync if only individual fields are Sync. It may lead to improper sharing of a reference to this value where threadsafety across fields is needed. That would be a bug, yes, but compiler never made the author pause to consider putting Sync there explicitly (and presumably thinking this through). So that "linting" aspect that's applied to, e.g., *mut T is not present.
Which is why the use of the word "sustainable" here is suspect. Sustainable in that one day we will run out of oil? Yes. Sustainable in that the inputs do not exceed the outputs? That remains to be seen.

That's a fair point, (and +1 for PlatformIO). And that is sort of the argument I sometimes find myself making: the Arduino Hardware is delightful. It's the ecosystem that has emerged around hobbyists that is problematic. It may just be early teething pains of something that will become remarkable. But right now, we find ourselves spending a lot of time walking back bad habits and lack of understanding of fundamentals when students show up with "projects" that involve a "schematic" that is really just a photograph of a breadboard, and the introduction of complex parts without ever consulting a data sheet, based on random code just pulled down over the Internet. And I've seen commercial products that are at about the same level of quality. The problem may be that Arduino is too forgiving.

Thanks for the link! I'll check it out. I agree such a system is quite lofty at this point. I can start to see a feasible system in my mind, but IMO we're still just so far away from it working in reality and in practice.

I'm still on the horse for now... sorry to hear you got burnt out at kraken.
> This is true only if the devices/bits are in a known order.

I think that's an assumption.
I've made the argument that the Arduino is great for quick and dirty projects (a colleague builds stuff for Escape Rooms that only ever exist for a few months using them), and for trying out ideas when you already know what you're doing. They're less valuable as a tool for learning that stuff, if only because of the Wild West nature of the ecosystem.
Ditto. Would buy for my Gentoo system!
Maybe a change of scenery would help? Or discovering new things in your current neighborhood. I've always found discovery to be the best way to get out of a funk. Sometimes, the hardest thing is just putting the shoes on and stepping out the door. But if you can get that done, just walk down the block to a corner you've never been to and see where it takes you.
I noticed this last night as well. Someone I knew checked in to say they were ok. I looked at the news and saw that it was a building that housed 500 people, in one of the largest cities in the world.

It was the same recently when we had a storm in New Zealand, and they activated safety check for the entire country. I don't think it even ended up raining where I was at the time.

I see it says they are using Angular now, does that mean they have finally implemented a proper front end routing system that doesn't break the browser's forward/back functionality?

Yes, I'm aware of that. I still don't count this as a string theory success. Borcherds proof of the Moonshine conjecture uses the no-ghost theorem in a way which is completely unsurprising to anyone familiar with QFT. Perelman's proof of Geometrization, in contrast, uses the string-frame Lagrangian in a manner which is by no means implicit in the string theory literature. The deep content of those papers comes after he's decided which functional to work with.

Profit was the original motivator. That's why those Romanian click bait sites appeared in the first place.
I don't see false flag being reasonable in this case.

The public sentiment gains from drumming up a case against NK aren't measurably enhanced by this enough to justify the effort. I wouldn't think. But one never knows.
There was lots of skepticism but in the end because of lack of good humint a lot of weight was placed on his behavior (his continued pretense/bluffing for the purpose of not disclosing weakness to Iran), the international community with the US at the lead reached a faulty conclusion.

With regard to DPRK S Korea has great humint and we have multiple defectors corroborating each other (whereas Iraq there was basically one guy feeding intelligence services lies) so I would say it's not the same.

In addition, the regime provides all the evidence necessary (not just boastful claims) we sample the atmosphere as well as have seismometers corroborating their claims of nuclear development. There is no question as toward their progress nor their intentions.

The primary advantage is efficiency, although this effect is generally small. Often there are many symbols that aren't needed for a particular program run so resolving and relocating them is wasted effort. If you're interested you can use LD_DEBUG=statistics to get some details on this. Here's some abbreviated output:

$ LD_DEBUG=statistics nmap -V
32564: total startup time in dynamic loader: 8917260 cycles
32564: final number of relocations: 2449

$ LD_BIND_NOW=1 LD_DEBUG=statistics nmap -V
32565: total startup time in dynamic loader: 12511900 cycles
32565: final number of relocations: 4730

Another difference between lazy and now is that if there is some symbol resolution problem, but the application never actually references that symbol, then the process can still run. This is either an advantage or a disadvantage depending on how you look at it.
Two key things occurred during the time period you're talking about where wages stagnated in spite of massive increases in productivity growth. The first is that we actually started letting women get jobs. We increased the labor supply by nearly 40%. It's amazing that wages are not even lower than they are. The second thing that happened is that millions upon millions of unskilled immigrants crossed the border. This also, obviously significantly increased the pool of labor at the bottom of the economic ladder further suppressing wages.

Being on a track changes little, a bomb going off in a train at 140 MPH can easily kill as many people as one going off in a plane at 500 MPH.
Thanks, @reustle! I discovered them some time ago. They seem to be doing a good job. Still a bit different from what I'm trying to do. The problem that I'm trying to solve is: tons of written content that I'd like to read, yet I don't have enough time to read it. So basically I'm trying to make a human screenreader. And trying to find the best way to make it happen :)

To be fair, the NSA was never given the mission to take on that defensive role you state. Their mission includes the defense of classified systems. Defense of any other systems is not their responsibility.

The offensive capability you state is part of their mission and is what NSA was created for.

This is a very interesting question. What if the universe is stateless and any state at time T can be calculated in O(1)

What if we just lack the expressiveness or the initial conditions to model a stateless universe?

A fun consequence of stateless universe would be that you can rewind, fast forward, loop, speed up, slow down time at no extra cost.

I can't give you any career advice, but given that you have a little money in the bank I'll tell you what I'd do: take a vacation.

There are so few times in the average career where there's any opportunity to take a long (months) break from work. Most people in our industry jump from job to job with maybe a week or two in between.

Go somewhere youve never been and hang out. Maybe the next move will become obvious to you with that kind of space.

the US has a special provision making all licenses and transfers of rights by authors under copyright revocable by written notice, during a 5 year window 35 years from when they occurred; see 17 USC Sec. 203.

Wow, that's rather incredible. It's enheartening to see a US copyright law that seems biased toward authors rather than publishers.

The provisions of section 203 safeguard[] authors against unremunerative transfers. A provision of this sort is needed because of the unequal bargaining position of authors, resulting in part from the impossibility of determining a work’s value until it has been exploited.

Small town, small class, small faculty - makes it all hard to stay anonymous. Plus there wasn't any formal reporting method that I knew of at the time.

In hindsight, I probably wasn't the only one who might have cottoned on to this. It was purely due to lazy systems administrators. All students were given their student number as their login, and the default password was.... our student number. It was strongly suggested that we change our password after first login, but it was never forced upon us, so not many did change it.

On that lazy day, I simply wondered if the same password 'policy' was in place for our lecturers too, so I guessed that their login might be the unit code, and the password would be the same. In a class full of bright CS wannabes, I am sure a few of the others had the same thought.

No doubt they became aware of this at some stage and that is why it was (thankfully) changed.

commodity CPUs running user-space code really are deterministic in practice, or at least the nondeterminism can be efficiently detected and controlled, without restorting to pervasive binary instrumentation. We're mostly winning that bet on x86 (but not ARM)

I'm curious about that mention of ARM --- since I always thought it was a far simpler and more rigidly defined architecture with fewer edge-cases/undefined (more like implementation-defined) behaviour than x86.
Is it as ridiculous as US spreading propaganda against Saddam's Iraq?
I don't. For many people it's their primary communication platform, and things like this are to a large extent driven by demand for such features in the wake of previous tragedies/disasters, after setting up impromptu groups or check-in mechanisms. It's not a simple problem to solve.

Now I don't think they're doing it very well and the fact that it's subject to the typical feature creep is a problem, but then feature creep is a general problem in software.
Similarly, I don't doubt that the NSA has the ability to attribute an attack to an attacker. What I doubt is that the NSA has the ability to tell the truth in public.
It's ~impossible to prove who's behind any attack these days given code-reuse, false flags & TOR. Anyone who claims to be able to do it reliably, is bullshitting you and likely has an agenda.

It's an indisputable fact of history that the U.S. military actively targeted civilians in WW2, Vietnam, and Philippines. Women and children were murdered by the hundreds of thousands. Members of the U.S. military have murdered huge numbers of surrendering POWs and raped countless people over its existence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_war_crimes

But I agree that (in general) the modern U.S. military tries its best not to kill civilians in an excessive way. But if we really cared about civilian deaths, we would send in SEAL teams 100% of the time and sacrifice an order of magnitude more soldiers.

We do still choose to kill civilians instead of risking own, when possible. We consider it common sense, but there is another ethical line we could take, which is a hard rule not to kill civilians at almost any cost. That is not our rule.

Putting Safety Check activation in this protective, semi-algorithmic swaddling means the company can cushion itself from blame when the feature is (or is not) activated — since it’s not making case-by-case decisions itself — yet also (apparently) sidestep the responsibility for its technology enabling widespread algorithmic stress. As is demonstrably the case here, where it’s been activated across London and beyond.

We would be much better off if we stopped accepting fake apologies and 'the algorithm did it not us' excuses.

For what it is worth, this was in a small town in Australia back in the early 80's... Simply a case of lazy admins (see my comment reply above). Probably even only down to one guy's slack work ethic.

I think the entire university's IT department at the time consisted of 4 guys running around trying to keep the mainframe running. There probably weren't any solid policies on password security.

> the international community with the US at the lead reached a faulty conclusion.

This is drifting rather far off-topic, but that is an exceptionally anodyne description of how that particular chain of events came to pass.
Don't forget, FB's culture is to move fast and break things. That's ok when you're breaking features, that's not acceptable when you are breaking social norms, and that's what happens when they are so damn big.

They might be sorry, but you can dry a lot of tears with wads of cash. They never see any real consequences for their mistakes.

I'm busy shutting down a throwaway FB account that I used to sign up to Spotify back in the day.

They don't make it easy.

The process, according to Spotify support, is:

+ Create a new Spotify account

+ Contact Spotify support to migrate playlists etc. across.

+ Cancel my paid subscription on the old account.

+ Create a new paid subscription on the new account.

+ Migrate my family members onto the new account.

This is reminiscent of Microsoft's strategies back in the 90s, to make it incredibly difficult to ship a PC w/o DOS (and later, Windows).
