This is actually not a bad idea....if they were allowed to gamble on actual individual bills, I can see how it would be worthwhile for some people to become deeply interested in the nuanced content of proposed legislation, the political actors involved and their public words vs actual actions, the public mood, etc.....because I think some people could make money at it.

Although, just as politicians are (were?) allowed to insider trade on the stock market, they'd do this (or pass tips to their friends and family) and take everyone's money.

I think modern democracy simply doesn't stand a chance against a well organized communist government in China. Long term, the only way China loses is if they make a big mistake, and I just don't see anything compelling on the horizon.

I've been working from home for 8 years. It is good for my mental health and it is very good for my work. Working in the office was the opposite.

So much depends on how studies are conducted, who runs them, and who pays for them. Perhaps, too, people like me were too busy working to participate in the studies.

I don't think even the majority of agree that enforcing patents is wholly bad. It's a bit more nuanced than that. Some of my personal problems with patent enforcement of the top of my head: (1) it often isn't encouraging creators to keep creating (the patents being enforced have been sold or assigned away from the individual) (2) patents are being used as a stock pile for insurance against other companies suing them (3) non-practicing entities (patent trolls) are generally the ones bringing law suits (4) many patents we hear about appear low quality (obvious, prior art, do it on a computer/network, etc.)

After seeing issues like the above over and over again it feels like the system isn't working to do what it should. I'd love to see patent enforcement to help fund the work of inventors and push the overall state-of-the-art forward, but it really feels like that's not what's happening right now.

Netgear R7000 [1] with AdvancedTomato [2], which is Tomato but with a pretty UI. It runs DNS, nginx as a reverse proxy, SSH gateway and some other bits & pieces with minimal fuss. Pretty sure I've never had to reboot it outside of testing configuration changes. I even managed to upgrade to a significantly newer firmware version without blowing away the NVRAM/other settings and having to redo everything from near scratch as is IME so common with custom router FW builds (note: YMMV).

It has USB 3, GigE, wireless speed has been fine etc... certainly one of the best home tech purchases I've made in the last couple years.

I'm not criticizing the price here. It is obviously totally OK to pay for data hosting.

> "Contact us to start Business or On-premise service."
I DO reject the whole concept of having a "hosted-only" software. To me it makes the whole project useless. It means I cannot have my own private or confidential data. I cannot use it in my company, etc. More importantly, the data is not mine anymore. It's yours.

I cannot find any place on your website that explains what happens to the data once it is uploaded! As far as I'm concerned, it means I am giving you my data, for free, without any restriction on your side. You can resell it, modify it, rebrand it, prevent me from accessing it. Since there is no mention of how the data is stored, I also cannot know if the data is encrypted on your side, or have the capability to read everything that is uploaded.
Birth rates are dropping all over the planet. Mexico is at 2.24 and dropping 0.03 every year, which means they'll be at ZPG in only 8 years.

Canada is already at NPG. Italy is at 1.39.

Now on to the third world. Even Bangladesh is at 2.18, which is 1/3 of what it was in 1960. Pakistan is at 3.62, but was at 6.02 in 1990. China is at 1.56.

Most of the high birth rates are in Africa, which is approx 1/7th of the world's population. Ethiopia's is 4.40 but was 7.25 in 1990. These places also have high (infant and adult) mortality rates, which is a big reason people still have a lot of children.

Now globally... We are at 2.45, down from a peak of 5.06 in 1964, and 3.35 in 1990. And we're dropping at an average of about 0.0238 every year since 2000, which puts us at ZPG globally in 19 years.

The reason for this is simple: Human rights, a move away from subsistence farming, women's rights, access to birth control. Pushing for these things is working, and there's no reason to think that we have to implement any other plan, especially not something that leans authoritarian in any way. We just need to keep doing what we're doing, and doing it better.

Our problem then becoming a looming population crash, not overpopulation.

The thing is, I'm not sure the API will be used much. Most systems already have access to the same TZ database I use, so why make an HTTP call to retrieve this information?

Vscode does not use react specifically for the licensing reason. I don’t know if they do now but when I was at MS this was the case. I know many teams at MS who evaluated react and lawyers strictly advised to stay away from it. I hear things have changed a bit, but you’ll never see Office and Windows use it.
The prospect for America's future is not good.

America's golden years were right after WW2, with the creation of the Bretton Woods system. But since the Nixon shock, the US dollar depends on exclusive deals to retain a relative value to other currencies. e.g: convincing oil exporting countries to only sell their oil in dollars and buying US treasury bonds.

But as these deals become redundant (e.g: as oil becomes less necessary), the US dollar will lose value, and so will things valued in dollars (e.g: savings, wages, etc).

Unless the US finds another way to keep the US dollar afloat, printing more dollars to subsidize the economy will stop helping and the US will lose its privileged position in the world, which this generation takes for granted.

This might seem weird, but I use an old PC with a wireless card in it (get one with a good antenna, and connect wireless APs via ethernet if you want more coverage). I've put Ubuntu server on it, and it has quite a few advantages over my old router which had OpenWrt

1. Persistent DNS cache using pdnsd (even after reboot because it is on-disk) with a long minimum global TTL. You would imagine this would be a problem, but surprisingly I haven't had any. I've only had to get in once to correct something. You can manually purge a specific domain, and all of them if you think something is wrong.

2. Powerful enough for good OpenVPN settings. Automatically routes through a VPN, and can be disabled for a specific client if needed. The AES instructions (which are on any Intel chip after 2008) help out immensely compared to using just a generic router.

3. Smoother LAN transfers. A cheap gigabit PCIe card (Intel EXPI9402PT - on ebay for about $20) which takes away local transfer rate problems, especially if you have an NAS.

4. Use it as an NAS. It isn't a good idea to mix devices which need good security with non-critical systems, like NAS so be sure about your settings and know what you are doing.

Another cool thing is port forwarding to the remote VPN instance so you can login remotely and check out your network or access any files/media you have on your NAS.

There are more things people can do which give more control and/or better experience, like setting up rate limiting on clients, custom settings for clients with unknown MAC addresses, etc. Traffic shaping is a good one (prioritize specific type of connections over another - example VoIP > Netflix > torrent).

The extra power really opens up the possibilities of what a router can do.

If anyone has any questions, I'd be glad to help out.

> I mean, if you can use the software without the patent license, what is the patent license giving you?

Facebook may or may not have some patents covering concepts or algorithms used in React. If they do (nobody is aware of any), then they could sue you for using React, or any other framework which uses the same underlying concepts (eg, Preact, maybe Vue, possibly Angular 2.x, etc., depending on what the patents cover). If they did sue you, a valid patent grant (which you obtain by using React) would be a very strong defence, and would be quite useful.

The value is real...but quite narrow in scope. :)
You need localStorage to login in your mozilla account - I block it and lost access to my account.
On purely copyright grounds, any BSD licensed code can be relicensed as Apache 2.0 code. And the patent grant was solely from Facebook so it can be modified at their discretion.
I think it has something to do primarily with things feeling like you can have an effect on them. Accessibility and policy both matter. This is something I'm still figuring out like everyone else, but I think pure disinterest and laziness is not good explanation in light of the energy that can be seen in other political campaigns throughout history, like the new deal.

Native Americans practiced setting fires as a forest management technique for thousands of years and the forests of the Pacific Northwest survived. It took less than a hundred years of logging by the USA following the Indian Wars of the 19th century to wipe all of those forests out.

The Caledonian Forest of Scotland was destroyed in roughly the same amount of time during the 19th century by the English following the Highland Clearances.

Obviously there are economic and political forms of organization that do not result in massive environmental destruction. Saying that "it's not capitalism because the USSR did it too" when clearly the example of the current situation in Brazil is capitalist is disingenuous.

So if I understand correctly, by using React, you agree that if you sue Facebook, you'll need to stop using React? And that goes no matter the reason why you're suing them for?

So say Facebook was infringing on one of your patent, you could still sue them, but you'd have to give up React if you did. Is that correct?

A React developer is on record some months ago as saying that as far as he personally is aware, no such patents exist. Further, patents are a matter of public record, and to date, nobody has identified a patent that might cover React.

Of course, a random comment from a React dev on github carries no legal weight, and absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But so far the picture being painted seems consistent with there being no list of patents at all, secret or otherwise.

Yep. And if Facebook has such patents, I wouldn't be surprised if Google, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. do too.

The more you think about the ramifications, the more I come to the conclusion that software patents are an existential threat.
This doesn’t end well.
It depends.

Is the hardware worth 330€? Probably not. But IIRC everything is open source, including the hardware design, which you'd never get from a commercial router.

Is it worth 330€ as a router? CZ.NIC has put a lot of effort into the OS and updates. The router has 8GB of NAND and they are using btrfs to handle updates (snapshot, update, rollback if there are issues).

This kind of update feature doesn't exist in OpenWrt and LEDE, though mainly because most routers ship with 16MB of NOR flash and there simply isn't room to take a snapshot while upgrading. Some routers like the Xiaomi Mi 3 have 128MB of NAND and it would be possible if there was upstream support in LEDE (although that router has other issues with MediaTek WiFi).

So if you're looking for a reasonably secure router that auto-updates, I think it's worth it. Set it and forget it mentality.

If you have the technical skills and time to manage the router yourself, then just buy a low power PC (e.g. PCEngines APU, Solidrun ClearFrog, Marvell MACCHIATTObin) and install Linux/PfSense/OPNSense.

I don't own the Turis myself, I just saw some conference presentations of theirs about how they implemented the Turis.
