This is an interesting response!

For the first point, I'd say it's less about time as it is about ease-of-use. I still use Vim when I'm SSH'd somewhere or the common occasions where I just need to change one line of a file. The process of "vi", entering the editor, using the shortcuts to find, edit, replace, save the file is done before an editor even loads. Time is valuable and not using Vim in some situations is like choosing a hand saw over a power tool (my analogy game is on point today).

On the last one about encouraging less resource-intensive software, I completely agree with you, and think software has grown increasingly careless toward memory usage. Unfortunately I'd estimate that less than 10% of computer users have ever opened the Activity Monitor on their mac or know which particular app is slowing it down. For developers I'm sure that's closer to 100%, so tools like Xcode/Atom/Eclipse will have their usage scrutinized more, but I certainly haven't seen anything close to mass rejection over it - we accept the free benefits and pay for it with better hardware. I also think the benefits of the underlying Electron library being seamless across platforms, plus the added benefit of extensions being as easy to write as a webpage, makes it a good trade-off for memory.

I really don't mean to minimize or refute any point you just made, what you wrote makes a lot of sense and really got me thinking. Maybe car vs bike should be the analogy for a more convincing blog post ;)
I may be in the minority that agrees with you here.

Giving constructive feedback / discussion that may lead to GCP supporting the OP's project may be a better way than going directly to "I'm going to get my lawyers involved".

From the current discussion it also looks like some people don't even agree that this repo steals from the OP.

This appears to be a wrapper around gemstash, not a fork and relicense.

I'm surprised people haven't noticed the gigantic shift in Uber's ability to control prices and costs, the ability to tip your driver.

It's already been a game changer in the restaurant world, where proprietors no longer have to price the cost of service into the menu. Sure, customers don't like it, but it does the job of price discrimination where it matters.

I submit that the US would not be able to maintain as dynamic a restaurant ecosystem as it has without tipping. Uber's business model is not sustainable with human drivers without tipping. Eventually drivers will leave once the VC money dries up and ridership declines due to price sensitivity.

Tipping is the safety valve that will allow ride markets to clear properly. Uber wanted a clean, easy user experience, right up until it becomes unsustainable. Now it is, and the only people who can keep the Uber service afloat is riders.
The author of Gemstash is clearly trying to wring as much outrage from this as he possibly can. This is blatantly NOT a fork, it's a wrapper. On Twitter he's stepped down from the "fork" accusation and downgraded it to "he used our README", but seems to be enjoying the attention too much to amend his original complaint.
This isn't a flaw in the species. It's a consequence of game theory and evolution and would likely be found in any species that was a product of evolution.
This is what I'm seeing as well. Seems like the only mistake the author made was forgetting to include the MIT license, which is not as nefarious as scrubbing it.

The barrier to entry on maintaining a project like Node is large enough...my guess that nothing useful in terms of code or concepts will come from this fork.

Only screams and tantrums.
I was assuming the fork wouldn't consume code from the project that they disliked for political reasons, since it would indicate an admission that the main-project was being successful and executing with their current policies and staff.

There is one potential negative feedback loop that I am now curious about, since we recently learned that Antarctica is/was highly volcanic. If the continent deforms as the mass of ice melts off of it, causing the volcanoes go off in a mega-eruption, could the atmospheric particulates shade the Earth enough to trigger an ice-age in the near future, say, 50-100 years? And if so, could we conceivably modulate the level of the particulates in order to manage the ice age?

I don't know what "MIT [doesn't let] you change the license" is supposed to mean.

The original project is licensed under MIT. The Google project said to incorporate that code is licensed under Apache 2.0. This is permitted by the terms of the MIT license.

If there is any wrongdoing here, it looks like a failure to `git add ./NOTICES.txt`, and that's as simple as the remedy to it would be, too.
Leaflet is for requesting and displaying raster tiles on the client. PostGIS is for storing and managing geo data. Leaflet and PostGIS do not talk to each other. Inbetween you need a tile renderer (like Mapnik).

Leaflet is a great library if you don't need much (use OpenLayers then).

I am reading "you" as addressed to Google, not to the intern. The project is owned by Google, copyright is held by Google, the GitHub organization is for Google, etc.

Sure, the intern is not personally morally culpable, but they were told what project to work on by a manager, no? And any open-source release was approved by a fairly sizable Google committee that is deeply aware of what open-source projects Google depends on and which ones they choose to support, isn't it?

If this were on the intern's personal GitHub account on their own time (and Google were so kind as to allow the intern to do work on their own time and retain copyright), this would be a totally different matter, yes.
I don't think you need to include the MIT license if the source code is not included.

AWS has greatly simplified their Glacier pricing from the inscrutable transfer rate pricing to more common sense latency based pricing.

If you want your data back in < 5 minutes it's $0.03/GB, 3 - 5 hours, $0.01/GB, 5 - 12 hours, $0.0025/GB

AWS Glacier is cheaper per month than Google ColdStorage, but Google doesn't charge more for faster access to your data. So maybe you still need that Calculus to figure out which is a better deal for your data access pattern.
I'd say we are overdue for a decent size pull back/sell off BUT getting the timing WHEN exactly this will happen is the hardest part.

Typically before decent market corrections/crashes you do not hear on the "news" that it is coming. The point of the down move is to catch most market players off guard.

The fact that these "smart" guys are yelling "sell off" is coming tells me stay the course ... for now (where were they back in 2000 or 2008 warning general public??). But longer term i agree we will correct probably sooner than later. Market loves round numbers. 2000, 2500 ... 3000? who knows where and when it will stop this massive bull run.
Yes, this is one of the explanations of the Fermi paradox.
I hate tipping for Uber drivers. It has made the rides so much more awkward, where the entire subtext of the (verbal/nonverbal) conversation becomes "what will my tip be".
Yes, they clearly came with pitchforks ready, probably from feeling burned by GCP ("GCP has repeatedly declined to support Ruby Together in the work [...]").

It also doesn't seem clear that the code was forked at all, making this whole exercise pointless.

The MIT license still requires that the MIT license be distributed in anything using that license. That includes the list of all copyright holders that contributed to the MIT licensed code.

Quoting from the license:
> The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

So if this was a fork, the MIT license was violated.

He didn't delete it or replace it, it was never there. There's no code shared between this project and Gemstash, it simply `require`s Gemstash the way any Ruby project would depend on any other gem.
> The MIT license is a permissive license, not a reciprocal ("viral") one. I.e., you're free to incorporate it into other projects even when those projects themselves are not licensed as MIT.

Sure but you are not allowed to relicense it nilly willy, only the copyright holder can do that (which incidentally is part of the reason for the copyright assignment of the FSF of big projects).
Maybe because they like living in the US and like having that money there? I doubt that a want to completely changing one's culture is what drives people to commit monetary fraud.
Look at it this way. A large swath of people believe it is a problem and most of them are willing to put time and money in counteracting it. We have leaders like Elon Musk already creating a great response. We can't winnow out of it alone but we already have leaders & a large group of people interested in fixing it.

The answer to "what now" is start a company that is in the business of carbon sequestration or climate affect mitigation and become a leader. It's obvious!

The problem is not that the project is Apache licensed, it's that (according to TFA anyway) the project relicensed MIT files as Apache 2 and removed attribution, both of which are verboten.

You can have MIT-licensed files in an Apache-licensed project, you can not strip out their original licenses and put yours instead.

I use emacs+org for writing fiction. I usually start pen+paper first, handwrite the first draft, and then rewrite in emacs (I recently started scanning them into pdfs and using that instead of just reading them off the paper, readd helps with bad posture and neck pain in long sessions). Pen and paper is way more portable than the smallest laptop with a good keyboard, way more comfortable to write in than the best tablet, easy on my eyes, and no frills or other distractions. When I digitize it into an org mode file, it also becomes a first redaction of the manuscript, and allows me to catch many more errors than if I composed in emacs in the first place and re-read. I use org-mode comments as editorial notes.

I also like how it doesn't make me think about formatting, layout, pages and whatnot. It's just a single digital papyrus scroll. If I need to store separate notes about the text, than I put the text under its own section, and make another section named notes, and write it there.
The alternative is cab service level and pricing.

Just like in the restaurant field, where if they price service into the menu, the perceived pricing uptick is enough to make people think restaurant dining is unaffordable. Sure it's worked for one restaurant, but the owner does not intend to bring the practice to his other restaurants.

Eventually tipping culture will crop up around ride share services and everyone will know how to be a good citizen in that space, and assholes will be free to be assholes.
Came here to say something similar. Glad I'm not the only one. Wish that more people knew about and used LyX. Yes, regular word processors (eg, MS Word) suck! There are already pre-existing better alternatives, such as LyX.
That complaint does not seem to be valid at all, though. It's new code, not a copy with stripped licenses.
Where I am located it is legal, and honestly there is not much alternative.

The roads google maps instructs me to take for their bicycle directions are not bicycle friendly. I am directed to take a narrow road with just one lane on each side with motorists going 55 mph, even though there is heavy traffic and no room for motorists to safely pass.

It seems like google maps is optimizing for road incline instead of safety. I resorted to using their pedestrian routing to get a route with sidewalks, but of course then it doesn't take road incline into account. No E-bike here. And then oddly enough, the other day their pedestrian routing sent me through A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. That path was definitely not bike friendly or pedestrian friendly.

Google maps' bicycle directions never send me down a greenway, it always wants me to be right beside cars. If I have already biked 10 miles, you really don't want me to be right beside cars, as my bicycling becomes more unsteady as I become more tired.

y'all have been very kind. the productivity tips are very helpful. here's my system:

- sit down at my desk with laptop and phone

- disable wifi on my laptop

- turn my phone face-down on the desk, muted, with wifi/data still on

This lets me check if I have any new messages via my phone, but it is a polling system vs an interrupt system. I have to opt in to check. And I am very aware that using my phone looks and feels less productive, so I try to avoid using it too long.

I've been able to be pretty productive (as an software engineer) with this system. I find that I have to reconnect on my laptop about every 30 minutes to do something or another. Of course, every day varies.
Licenses aren't per project, they are for any copyrightable piece of code, you can have multiple even inside a single file. MIT lets you mix with Apache licensed code, but you still have to indicate the original license.

You cannot take code licensed under MIT, delete the MIT license, and supply a different license instead.

> This is permitted by the terms of the MIT license.

It is permitted to include MIT licensed code in a project that also contains Apache licensed code, but it is not permitted to change the MIT licensed code to be Apache licensed.

The result is a project where different code has different licensing.

Great that thorium is progressing. I predict the debate about global warming will disappear once we have new power sources in place. Those who denied global warming will suddenly acknowledge it; those who berated the deniers will move on to other issues.
No, that is incorrect, though it has often been repeated by less technically informed advocates of the thorium fuel cycle. The vast majority of the world's commercial nuclear reactors are light-water-moderated pressurized water reactors or boiling water reactors (PWR and BWR respectively). The actual military origins of these light water reactors is that they were originally researched for submarine and ship propulsion for the US Navy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-water_reactor

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressurized_water_reactor#Hist...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_water_reactor#Evolutio...

The United States and other nuclear weapons states never produced their weapons plutonium from light water reactors. Weapons grade plutonium has typically been produced from uranium in dedicated plutonium-production reactors moderated with heavy water or graphite. (The United States once had a single reactor that also produced commercial electricity along with weapons plutonium, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Reactor, but it wasn't a light water reactor either.)

Since uranium fueled light water reactors weren't used to make plutonium for weapons in the first place, the thorium-myth claim that commercial power reactors stuck with uranium so as to make weapons material is ridiculous. The military's early sponsorship of light water reactors for naval propulsion did give uranium-fueled LWRs a significant historical path dependency advantage. I speculate that thorium advocates who continue to repeat the myth about how uranium LWRs became dominant do so because it makes the dominant technology's dominance sound more sinister, hence thorium sound more attractive by contrast.

Looking at the two repos it's not clear to me whether it's even a fork or not. The issue owner didn't state which files he thinks are forked from the Gemstash repo. Also, MIT license is a permissive license and does allow sub-licensing, so his comment that you cannot change the license is not entirely correct. However the intern should have kept the original MIT license along with the Apache license, adding a note that MIT license only applies to specific portion of the project (that is, if he forked that repository in the first place..)

Ignorance would be misunderstanding or even misrepresenting the actual license with the wrong license. I maintain a FLOSS project that ships libraries with various FLOSS licenses, and it's within the realm of possibility that somewhere in there is a README that conflicts with the license at the top of a corresponding C source or header file. (Hypothetical example: README says gplv2 and the c file is 3-clause BSD.)

But removing a copyright where condition #1 is a single sentence that tells you not to remove the copyright? And replacing it with a different license? That certainly isn't ignorance.
