> I'd have to a hire a lawyer and disclose it to my investors to be cleared up

That seems extremely weird. Normal startups do nothing of the kind; do you have extremely weird investors?

> My investors were very specific about software licenses - we aren't allowed to use GPLv4 or AGPL at all.

Ah, there we go. First off, there's no such thing as GPLv4. Second of all, you do realise that avoiding even the AGPL puts you in a vanishingly rare crowd in these parts, right? Eg, MongoDB is AGPL; of all the reasons I've seen given for avoiding Mongo, the license is a new one on me.

If you've decided to only use GPLv2 or vanilla MIT licenses software that's totally fine, but it is unusual.
> Do we think that a $15 lunch is going to influence a physician to over-prescribe a drug?

Why then does the manufacturer spends that $15? Are you an marketing expert? On which studies and data do you base this conclusion?

None, I just dipped in and out in the downtime between contracts. This went on for a couple of years until I had enough revenue from the startup to cover my living expenses.
Thanks for your detailled answer and those pointers, I appreciate this.

I am using phonocardiograms (PCG) not ECG but the processing is quite similar. In my case I record PCG with ultrasound Doppler but a mere microphone could do the job as well.

I think I went further than detecting the heart's rate and variability, as I try to recognise each heart sound (S1 ... S4) inside a beat and I developped a technique for having a beat signature in order to apply ML on the sequence of beats with HMM.

This beat signature technique could certainly be applied to ECG. It could probably even be used for any series of events.

However my problem is not technical, it is about raising awareness, getting help (including resources) and get strategic advising.
If the community is actively asking them to change it, then how is it being nice? At least offer a dual licensing scheme.
Grayson's very first answer to "what's next" is "ML modules," a language feature probably few people have experienced first hand. We're talking about ML-style modules here, which are quite precisely defined alongside a language (as opposed to a "module" as more commonly exists in a language, which is just a heap of somewhat related identifiers). ML modules can be found in the mainstream ML family languages (Standard ML, Ocaml) as well as some lesser known languages (1ML, Manticore, RAML, and many more).

It's really hard to do justice explaining how amazing modules are. They capture the essence of abstraction incredibly well, giving you plenty of expressive power (alongside an equally powerful type system). Importantly, they compose; you can write functions from modules to modules!

(This is even more impressive than you think: modules have runtime (dynamic) AND compile time (static) components. You've certainly written functions on runtime values before, and you may have even written functions on static types before. But have you written one function that operates on both a static and a dynamic thing at the same time? And what kind of power does this give you? Basically, creating abstractions is effortless.)

To learn more, I recommend you read Danny Gratzer's "A Crash Course on ML Modules"[1]. It's a good jumping off point. From there, try your hand at learning SML or Ocaml and tinker. ML modules are great!

It's pretty easy to just pay, I'll give you that.

For an example of just how good their image is:

I set my companies up almost a year ago, had to deal with it about once.

The docs cover a HA setup (if you really need it - most won't), data backups aren't really needed if you're using a storage backing, and I just use local file system - absolute worst case I have to wait half an hour to rebuild and push everything.

The downside risk of running your own is very low. The upside is a few bucks and you have your own private registry local to your network.
It's also less capable and completely incompatible with router 3.
I don't understand that last sentence, could you rephrase please?
Not being able to sue with patents is not something I give much value to. Software patents aren't even valid where I live and operate. They concern me only as far as USA has the will to have a global jurisdiction. However if Facebook wants to sue me for something ridiculous and has the USA government's global help, then Apache 2.0 license isn't going to save me, they will find something else.
That's how he likes it, to be honest. He doesn't want it to be some statement about Rust or Swift; he left Rust long ago, did some other stuff for a while, and there's only so many "work on a programming language" jobs out there.

In general the Rust and Swift teams are very friendly with one another, and have shared several devs.
I wish we'd disconnect the discussion about declining Nazis as customers from the discussion about whether certain platforms/products have become important or monopolistic enough that they should be regulated as a 'public' platform where freedom of speech is upheld.

The former issue is almost impossible to discuss rationally at this point (which is understandable), whereas the latter strikes me as ultimately more important but also more complicated. Discussing them together makes everything more difficult...
There are lots of people in the crypto world who have serious issues with XORing random sources together.

I haven't yet seen a good argument why it's a bad idea, and part of me thinks it might be a way to get more software using "rdrand" or other insecure sources unmodified.

I suspect this is an issue with Racer, the tool that provides the completion information.
Can you expand a little bit on that? It seems like we are talking about very small programs here with simple specifications. What are some common problems with reinforcement learning implementations?

Some information on the declining level of funding here: https://fullfact.org/health/spending-english-nhs/

On your small point, I suppose one way in which you could compare the UK and American systems in high-level terms is by money paid for service provided. In the UK, people pay for their health care through their taxes (and some direct costs like prescriptions). In the US it is largely through direct cost for health insurance and/or employment deductions. That cost is clearly far lower in the UK than the US.

But you have to realize that Amazon was able to become so advanced in all those areas because they had an (arguably) unfair 20-year advantage thanks to this patent.

If we could rerun the timeline without this patent, then the e-commerce field would likely not be so lopsided.

...and those drugs go North towards the former Soviet Union. This is chemical warfare by other means. When our Russian friends cannot afford the heroin any more they make 'Krokodil':

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

Whatever you do, don't do image or video searches on this 'flesh eating drug'!!!

This product came about in part due to codeine being as available as aspirin (no prescription needed) and a crackdown on heroin by the teetotal Putin.

In the USA and places like Australia 'crystal meth'/'ice' took hold in same-but-different circumstances.

When you look at the UN report on opium cultivation in Afghanistan for 2002 you see why there was such an important need to bomb the country - those evil Taliban ('students') had wiped out this important (to the Americans) industry. Thankfully with the British protecting the poppy fields the trade has been restored and we are back to business as usual.

With my desktop I have been on the Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia bus for years, while solid and easy ( I do not like to solve puzzles with my desktop OS ) It became more and more appearant that they can't keep up, so parts of their distro are hopelessly outdated. Now I use an Arch based distro that is somewhat, but not very unstable, called Manjaro.
It is not as suave as the Mageia distro but it does have a really massive Arch knowledge base, if you google problems with some part of linux then 9 out of ten times you see Arch based problem solving as top links.

apkmirror.com is not dodgy. It is also the only apk website I'd trust.
Holy shit that link you shared was so frustrating to read. To think of all the productive things a great intellectual like Chomsky could be doing with his time. Instead he generously chose to engage someone who had already made their conclusion and just wanted to "debate" without actually ceding to any points (take a shot any time OP says "liberal" or "PC"). He even hints at OP's "intentional ignorance" many times too... What a patient soul to debate someone whose entire education on race issues was some /pol/ infographic and right-wing blogs. OP could have taken some time to read some pre-existing literature, to learn the opposing side's arguments and especially when corresponding with an academic, to read their prior writing. Instead we have this..... the state of public discourse on the web 2.0.
I get your point, but I think it's somewhat ironic we currently have this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15045531 just a few items below the current on on the frontpage.
Yes, there's a little research about it out there, but the industry side seems to be in deeper apathy about it.

It would be very interesting to hear what happened to these LLVM research directions. I guess the default answer is "nobody wanted to fund it after the publications got written"...
1ML just shows that advanced (first-class) ML modules are really just System F_omega. That's just barely more than Haskell! More languages need to expose it nicely. But we already have most if not all the technology we need to make them efficient and worthwhile, vs just possible. This isn't a research problem. This is a design/HCI problem.
The Wavestorm is perfect to catch really bad waves. But the previous Costco chinese softboard, a shortboard is also cult amongst riversurfers.

That's what should've happened ; a fine.
"As long as the care is universal and free"

The left-wing argument is that businesses exist to maximise profit, so once you have the profit motive involved it'll eventually have to be paid for at point of use or not have it at all (assuming public funding is denuded).

This is a much of an article of faith as the right-wing argument that the profit motive means costs will go down and governments won't have to pay very much.

Both ends of the spectrum are ideological fantasies of course, but the NHS is caught in the middle.

Debian testing. It's similar enough to Ubuntu that instructions and suggestions (e.g. how to get $program to work on Ubuntu) are generally still applicable. Packages are far more up-to-date than Debian stable. Rolling release means (almost) never having to perform a show-stopping upgrade or reinstall.
One big problem we're now backing into is having incompatible paradigms in the same language. Pure callback, like Javascript, is fine. Pure threading with locks is fine. But having async/await and blocking locks in the same program gets painful fast and leads to deadlocks. Especially if both systems don't understand each other's locking. (Go tries to get this right, with unified locking; Python doesn't.)

The same is true of functional programming. Pure functional is fine. Pure imperative is fine. Both in the same language get complicated. (Rust may have overdone it here.)

More elaborate type systems may not be helpful. We've been there in other contexts, with SOAP-type RPC and XML schemas, superseded by the more casual JSON.

Mechanisms for attaching software unit A to software unit B usually involve one being the master defining the interface and the other being the slave written to the interface. If A calls B and A defines the interface, A is a "framework". If B defines the interface, B is a "library" or "API". We don't know how to do this symmetrically, other than by much manually written glue code.

Doing user-defined work at compile time is still not going well. Generics and templates keep growing in complexity. Making templates Turing-complete didn't help.
This such a non-issue and affects very small part of those that use React it won't affect the popularity at all.
(main agorakit dev speaking)

I decided to use the term groupware because it reflects better -imho- what agorakit is. Problem is, it seems no one knows what a groupware is :-)

There are almost no "social" features in agorakit, so I'm not sure it qualifies as social network. It's more "get work done" oriented and less "let's rant about something on the internet" like social networks usually generate (which is useful as well).

So a groupware as I see it, is a tool that allows group of people to work together on stuff (discussions, agenda, documents etc...) and also meet in real life.

I hope that clarifies

CCXT – OSS CryptoCurrency Exchange Trading Library (70+ Exchanges, JS, Py, PHP)
No problem! Good luck with the product.
Xubuntu. It has a lot of support and community knowledge, since it is a *buntu distro, feels very snappy, never had stability issues and looks fine just out of the box, no tweaking required. I'm not motivated to look elsewhere, although if I do, I'll opt for XFCE again.

For servers I kinda prefer CentOS, but a lot of people around me prefer Ubuntu, so I usually use Ubuntu. I have no proper metrics around this, it's just a feeling.
Chomsky is a great critic of social issues like imperialism, manufactured consent, and state capitalism. However he has been proved devastatingly wrong about Venezuela and as of today won't admit the problems with state socialism. I hope his new students realize this.

React is still unsafe because facebook can infringe on your patents and if you sue you will lose your rights to use react.

More generally, optimization has to become 1st class, not something that the compiler may or may not do on whim.
Not really. Not necessarily. Patents aren't all created equal. The economic value you derive from using Facebook's open-source patent grants is probably not going to be higher than whatever patent suit you're bringing against Facebook (if you deem it necessary and have the millions to wage such a war).
I noticed that this library was already submitted and flagged a month ago, probably because the authors tried to shill it, but I think it's incredibly useful for anybody who wants to build trading bots or something similar and deserves a second chance. I'm not affiliated with them in any way :)

It was ember vs angular. I was like I'm out, going for data science.

While on the side line I've witness:

Angular was winning until Google made a new framework and named it Angular 2.

React took over until people find out their license is a trojan horse.

Now what? emberjs? Angular 3 (oh wait wtf it's 4)?

Jeez, front end is a mess of wild west. Yes, I understand the value in keeping up to date and continuously studying but the rate that frontend is going it is stupid.
Does it make you feel good insulting ppl on the internet?

Edit: Anything else to say, or is that your contribution?

Edit2: If you having nothing useful to say, you should probably keep your mouth shut (& probably sit in the corner).
Nor would Facebook's patent grant protect you if React were found to violate someone else's patents. That sort of scenario is no different for either licence.

OP was not implying that (see the rest of their comment).
The question was 'where did the myth come from' not 'does it still apply today'.
I'm not sure what you're referencing, but Chomsky has typically not been aligned with state socialism. I think typically it's viewed as another structure which uses it's position to maintain power.
I actually think this is Facebook's goal. As for your question, I think they aren't trying to abolish software patents in the US because they judge (IMO correctly) that it is unlikely to succeed.
This theoretical litigation process with claims & counter-claims against Facebook would cost you millions. Patents are by themselves incredibly expensive to defend. Your "X" patent better be worth tens of millions and Facebook better be deriving millions in value from it, or this is just an exercise in futility.
Sources please. 'Inflammation' sets off my pseudo-science detector. And your first point is suggesting carbs are inherently bad 'because inflammation', which I just don't buy.
Chomsky is a linguistics professor. His students won't presumably have that much reason to care about whether he was right about Venezuela or not.
I feel like docker is core to more businesses than compressing/decompressing files. A lot of business package things in docker containers and are probably more likely to donate based on that. Compressing/decompression feels more like a low-level utility and users are probably unaware of whose code they're running at all.

If the creater of "ls" or "cd" asked for donations, would you even realize? If docker asked for donations, would you realize?
That's why whenever I speak to someone and they have a strong opinion I like to ask them how many books they've read on that subject. It's almost always zero. You can pretty much instantly discard anyone like that as it's a decent baseline litmus test. If you really cared about something, you would read at least one if not multiple books on the subject. Anything less is just laziness and someone who wants to get an endorphin rush from anger or other emotions.

What you described is a lot better (read some pre-existing literature, to learn the opposing side's arguments and especially when corresponding with an academic, to read their prior writing). But usually even bad books are going to blow a DuckDuckGo search out of the water on quality. Especially for those who aren't astute enough to identify good and bad information.
All I know is this is a very slippery slope and somewhat of a litmus test, much like Larry Flynt / Hustler case. The reasoning goes that these, admittedly extreme views are a canary in the coal mine, and for as long as they aren't suppressed everyone else is likely to be OK. But once our corporate masters figure out they can now suppress speech they disagree with (or even agree with but can't publicly admit it), they'll be pulling on that handle like an opioid junkie. The list of topics could be very broad, and the recent example of James Damore shows that views don't even have to be extreme: a bit of virtue signaling from professional victim groups is quite sufficient.
I hadn't heard that it was less capable. But you can always keep using v3 if that's what you know. He seemed to indicate that it took him a week to figure out routing in React. I have never had that much trouble.
Well eggnogg on the rocks is offered.
In the case of SQL, I'd say the fragmentation happened because the standards weren't keeping pace with the types of improvements developers were looking for. Even the different RDBMS couldn't keep pace with all the trends, they've each focused on building up different strengths. We'll probably see a return to standards once the rate of innovation slows down.
