If you read the page it's pretty round about to get there though. It's buried in the last line of the description:

> P.S. — Proceeds from this campaign will be used to buy a controlling share of Twitter. If we can't get a majority interest, we'll explore options for buying a significant stake in the company and champion this proposal at the annual shareholder meeting. If that's impossible for any reason or if there is a surplus from this campaign, 100% of the balance of proceeds will be donated to Global Zero, a nonprofit organization leading the resistance to nuclear war.

So the whole thing is a marketing gimmick by Plame. Shocker!
1) Grad degrees are not always contingent on undergrad degrees.

2) Employers (good ones, anyway) care more about ability than pieces of paper.

3) Hard to say if you're actually "reasonably familiar" with what you would have learned with a formal CS education, so can't comment on that. I'm a little skeptical since real-world work and CS education are pretty different things, but I sure could be wrong on that one.

"While CO2 persists in the atmosphere for centuries, or even millennia, methane warms the planet on steroids for a decade or two before decaying to CO2.

In those short decades, methane warms the planet by 86 times as much as CO2, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change."

Keep telling yourself that; first impressions are vital, you go numb from forcing yourself to conform. I too was 19 years old back in the days, I'm 40 now and I'm more certain than ever that doing my own thing is the only way forward.

That is not cool. Respect the licence the original author used or just stay the f* away.
From what I can tell, it looks like Gemstash was used as a reference to build google-cloud-gemserver. There are certainly pattern similarities, but a lot of the codebase has been rewritten. The foundational structure is definitely very similar, but the code within it is different.

Agreed. There are plenty of highly educated people in casinos, or in very risky investments.
Title should be changed, its unclear if the license was actually violated, all that has happened is that the author of gemstash has claimed that is the case.
I don't know much Ruby, but it looks like gemstash is merely a dependency of this, and this repo isn't a fork.
I just rolled a 401k over into Wealthfront a month ago and I realized it's pretty pointless since the cost of buying the ETFs and rebalancing is much less than their fee, so it may look like a panic to them if and when I do it.

Then again, I've also (to my discredit) sold on the downs before. But (besides hindsight) how do you distinguish a secular decline from a temporary panic?
Eh, charitably guessing here, I could imagine an intern being told something, "it's okay to use Open Source software, just make sure it's Apache license otherwise we have to get the legal team to review." And then an intern naively treating that as a directive, without the understanding that it was wrong.

Hoping the intern learns lots, and that he isn't raked over the coals.
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light through vacuum.

But the index of refraction of water is 1.33 . So the speed of light through water is much slower than through vacuum. And electrons can travel through water faster than light through water.

The effect is similar to a massive object traveling faster than the speed of sound through air.

Well. When your mistake involves stealing other peoples work (yes, I equate "using without proper attribution" and "changing the license" with stealing), I think a few crosses and nails are in order.
But I thought capitalism is the thing that can solve any problem?
Yeah, blame should be placed on whoever did the code review, but this is probably something the intern learned/got away with in school.
I could easily see someone who hasn't actually read the license and not knowing anything about software licenses other than that he needs Googles doing this.
Here's the next line from your [1] link that's pretty crazy as well.

"They conclude that "release of up to 50 Gt of predicted amount of hydrate storage [is] highly possible for abrupt release at any time". That would increase the methane content of the planet's atmosphere by a factor of twelve"
Also nice to have sub-millisecond latency to first byte (versus multi-hour) and performance characteristics of normal GCS.. so you could run a rare MapReduce job on it just the same as regular GCS :)
Growing grass for biofuel can help: if you burn just the hydrogen and not the carbon you can then sequester that carbon. It is called making charcoal.

They don't have to be maintained into perpetuity. The trees covered a lot more of the planet when left alone. It is HUMANS that reduced the biomass of trees over the last few thousands of years. And especially last 100.

"Maintaining" the forests simply involves restraining humans from interfering. Or even better, chop the trees down and replant, using the wood for construction after fireproofing it!!
Yeah I'd accept that, without much hesitation.
If there was ever a point where our current run of innovation starting with the Industrial Revolution were to slow down or stop, then you are correct. However arguing that it's not proven to be sustainable because the fact that it hasn't collapsed in ~80 years only proves that its sustainable for 80 years is makes proving it sustainable impossible. Absent a better theory with better predictions Keynesianism is still the most successful economic theory.
Moreover the scenario where innovation stops or slows down is a fairly unlikely scenario and if we're going to have a public policy debate I don't think it's wise to count on it.

The funny thing is, smartphones are all but useless for many tasks the minute you go into airplane mode. There are exceptions, but you're basically holding a client to a distributed operating system which has appropriated many of the promises of wearable personal computing for corporate profit.

So yes, if you've already ceded your right to not be inturupted by running apps like Twitter and Facebook in the background, then I can see the appeal of cord cutting.

Of course there also exists the possibility of at least trying to use these devices without ceding this autonomy in the first place, but that requires admitting just how little today's social media offerings will have to do with this approach.

And no, a smartphone is not the right place to do research anyway. In fact, neither is the WWW using off-the-shelf browsers, but it's the version of Hypertext we're stuck with for now.
> according to the complaint he removed the existing licenses and replaced them with apache. That sounds kinda sneaky

That can't be the whole of it, though, right? Because the MIT license allows relicensing. For example, I can redistribute an MIT-licensed project as part of a GPL-licensed one, although I do still have to include the original MIT license as part of the project, even if the whole project is redistributed under different terms.

It's not really the right way to handle a relicensing, but to be quite honest, it's easy to make minor technical mistakes with free software licensing even if you're acting in good faith and trying to do something that is ultimately permitted by the license

Heck, even the term "MIT license" is technically not recommended by the FSF, as it's ambiguous (they recommend the unambiguous and equivalent term "X11 license")
The fear is that the change will be so fast and so drastic that the short lifetime won't save us. It's thought that runaway methane release could result in 6+ degrees (celsius) of warming within just a few decades as massive amounts of methane are released. The influence of methane would end relatively quickly too, but the damage would be incredible.

Nobody is really sure if this would actually happen, though.

> This demonstrates a poor understanding of licensing.

It doesn't; while the MIT is a permissive license, that doesn't mean that it lets you change the license.

> you're free to incorporate it into other projects even when those projects themselves are not licensed as MIT.

This is true, but you still have to follow its terms, just like any other license.

(I have not actually looked at the repo or investigated the details in this specific case.)
Just publish. If you're in the US and don't have a co-founder, the second you start selling, you're a sole proprietorship. You'll probably need to file some paperwork if you hire employees (to get a tax ID) or if you want to use a "fictitious business name" (aka a "Doing Business As" filing.) But for a sole proprietorship, no legal entity paperwork is required to get started. Your biggest issue is finding a customer! (I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, yadda, yadda....)

I only incorporated my last project (Tapster) when a major European car company ordered 10 of my robots. Until that point, for two years, it was just a hobby/side-project and revenue was included in my taxes as a sole proprietorship. But a real order from a big company made me take sales/support/development/liability issues more seriously, so that's when I incorporated. Incorporation will probably also be required if you take angel/pre-seed/seed/accelerator funding. But again, bigger issue is making a product and finding customers. Don't get bogged down in paperwork issues until you've found a customer willing to pay.
Yes. I don't know what the rules for making code public are at Google, but where I work we are incredibly cautious.

I would have thought Google would have been far more cautious.
I tracked down the repo and wasn't able to get it to bomb on me as before. I honestly can't remember what scenarios triggered that, unfortunately, and I'm no longer working on the project (due to actually being back at the 9-5 job!).
The wamp protocol is interesting imo. It's independant a serialisation and transport despite the fact it uses websocket + json by default. It does routed rpc and pub/sub out of the box. But no low level router yet.

On a positive note, while it may not suffice to save human civilization, CO2 likely won't get baked out of rocks. Or at least, it hasn't after previous "methane gun" events.

I agree with the sentiment, but what we turn off is iOS "Location Services." It's not really possible to "opt out of sharing location information."

A lot of people are talking about this being a teachable moment. I suppose that's true. [EDIT: or is it? This intern probably didn't do anything wrong? Rest of comment relevant to discussion more than the link.]

But I've managed someone who took code from the internet (multiple files, a whole sub-project, really) and tried to pass it off as their own. I pointed out they left the license info at the top of the files, and so it was pretty easy to tell it violated the license terms. I got push-back about it, saying they just wanted to deliver the feature (the code didn't do that, but whatever). I said I was glad the code didn't get deployed, and said we could work on requirements so a clean room implementation could be done. So far, yes, teachable.

Then he committed the same code with the license information removed.

Then I fired him.

There's simply no other way to handle these situations. It's unprofessional in the extreme to plagiarize, and is a lawsuit magnet to boot.

Problem is interest rates are still very close to the 0 bounds. Even a few years ago interest rates could simply not go any/much lower. Since we had the same problem when interest rates could not go any lower, I don't think its interest rates themselves thats the problem. Instead the problem is a global excess of savings vs. demand resulting in a situation where interest rates decrease and there's more money then there are things to invest in.
No, OP is correct here (assuming the project includes source from gemstash, as opposed to merely being something that links gemstash at runtime). You can certainly reuse code under the MIT license in an Apache-licensed project, but the license states clearly:

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

That is, you cannot remove the copyright notice nor the text of the MIT license.

(Yes, this is a very easy thing to fix.)

> Ehh. A $1/week expense which buys you hope and dreams for a week isn't that bad in the grand scheme of things

There's a demographic of lottery players that really only are spending $1 a week (or even $1 every few months or whatever), but there is also a large demographic that is regularly buying multiple $20 scratch tickets on a regular basis, which tends to be more of what people are thinking of when they evoke the stereotype of someone who "can't afford" to play the lottery.

I'm not saying that only the rich should be allowed to enjoy myself, but if a friend asked me to get their finances in order and was spending multiple percent of their salary on lottery tickets (which is a real phenomenon), cutting back would be my first suggestion.
LeafletJS looks interesting there for the maps. Any experiences with it here? Does it work well with PostGIS?
Honestly this reminds me a lot of the TempleOS editor.
Julia could have had 10x the adoption if they painted themselves as more of a general purpose language, like "write the web app and your neural networks (GPU accelerable bien sur) in the same language ftw!"... if only they'd have bolted in some support for "non-weird-looking classic OOP" like in "wanna type `window.` and have even the most retarded editor autocomplete methods".

Imho they got it backwards: Python got so popular in scientific computing because it was first and foremost a general-purpose scripting language and didn't isolate (library-wise) sci-coders from all the other developers, second because it was designed as a "teaching language" so simple examples looked close enough to pseudocode so were liked by people in the business of having to explain their code (academia), and only lastly because it happen to be easily extensible for things like matrix operation (operator overloading...) and had non-weird general syntax (like in "functions are value and that's that" not Ruby-like weird blocks and procs that spooked math and physics folks...).

My only hope for "general purpose & sci computing" language would be Go if they dragged they heads out their asses and added some damn sugar to the langue - like operator overloading, some parametric types or templates (good luck bothering a physicists to understand when to use type switches and type assertions...), and something to allow "casual" developers to not be bitten by things like "not all nill's are equal, wtf?!" things. I like Go, but it's a hard language to sell to a non-100%-professional-developer...
Then twitter will become yet another opinion oriented MSM company.
So, speaking for Google (for once):
We're on it (and about to post a response), but a number of us have looked at this, and having trouble finding any actual code in common between the repos at all (let alone any where the license was changed).

I can find parts that depend on the gemstash project being installed, but nothing that appears to actually have been taken from the gemstash project .

I'd someone here sees some, i'd really appreciate letting us know (here, or email me at dannyb@google) so we can go fix it.
HN Editors should revise the headline since it seems far from established fact that the intern violated the MIT license.

If it actually turns out that the intern did't violate the MIT license after all (as some seem to suggest), he should retain an attorney for having his reputation smeared.

How long would that all take to melt? According to your source only 50 of the 1400Gt could be abruptly released.
Actually, taxation plays a large role in giving a currency value. The US government only accepts payment in US dollars. They require everyone to pay taxes in US dollars, which means we all seek US dollars. Add onto that the fact that the government has and uses tools to control inflation and deflation means we have a relatively stable currency. We know that the US government's long term intention is its continuity. (We do not know the intention of the Chinese mining pools that control large portions of Bitcoin, though, we can assume profit and not stability.) Tie all that into one of the strongest economies in the world and you have yourself a reserve currency.

Young people of my generation, flighted away from the work in farms.
Their parents were just forced to retire early, by state decision. The folks that stayed at home became exploited by the "coopératives", a nice word for a hugly reality.
"Coopératives" took all the easy gros profit, while letting to farmers the hard work, the business and health risks and the cost of investments. Banks like "Le crédit Agricole" were really happy to lend money to farmers. As said in the article, farmers debts are huge but they earn much less money than the minimum revenue. However nowadays a subsidiary of "Crédit Agricole" called "Amundi" is enough rich to buy France (the whole France) if it wants!

We are. The lumber and paper companies replant all the time. Sometimes directly, sometimes they don't have to because natural processes will do it. Many forests in the US are over populated.

There is a lot of land that cannot support a forest though.

Where we really go wrong is not lighting forest fires every year. As a result dead trees build up until the slightest spark (lightening) results in a hot fire that burns up everything in a massive fire that cannot be controlled. All the carbon turns back into CO2. If instead we lit a fire every year the smaller cooler fire would result in a lot of carbon that isn't turned into CO2 and just sits on the ground. The result is sequestered carbon in the form of charcoal.
