> FB would be able to counter-sue for copyright infringement due to the suing company's use of FB's open source

the whole point of mit/bsd/etc is copyright grant. fb can only realistically win a suit wrt infringement if they revoke the mit/bsd license first (not sure if this is possible...not sure if it's even been tried before).

Well, the React PATENTS file seems to indicate that you would lose the patent grant for any patent assertion against Facebook,[1] not just for software patent assertions against Facebook. So, it's theoretically possible that the poster in the parent comment was concerned about a patent on something other than software. Maybe he or she has patented some type of VR headset, for example, and uses React VR for the software that drives it. He or she might reasonably worry that suing Facebook for infringement on the VR headset would result in the loss of patent protections concerning the React VR software.

[1] The language I'm thinking of is the part that says that the license terminates if you initiate "any Patent
Assertion: (i) against Facebook or any of its subsidiaries or corporate affiliates, (ii) . . . "

Yes. I've had my entire bank account emptied of 25,000 in the 1990's by someone of a different ethnicity and gender who had simply went through a dozen drive throughs of my bank in different city to cash checks in about an hour in an amount under the one that would have required more attention (as explained to me by the bank. They simply wrote checks out for cash and used the memo "to purchase car") I lived in Austin and the thief did this in Houston. I don't know if this same scheme is possible today.
Yeah I was wondering the same. Dual licensing should be strictly more permissive for users, who c=would be free to apply whichever terms gives them better protections.

React 16 will be licensed under MIT. Previous versions of React which you may be using under BSD+patents will remain licensed under BSD+patents. If you upgrade to 16, you should be free and clear of the patents clause. Definitely not PR theater.

You can choose to stop smoking. This may prevent future addiction, but will do nothing to stop your immediate withdrawl symptoms. This may prevent future cancer, but will do nothing to stop any current ulcers.

Plenty of other illnesses trace back to life choices. Unprotected sex gets you STDs. Not exercising and eating right leads to heart failure. Isolating yourself socially leads to depression. Many of these can also be stopped or reversed after a "moment of clarity" that causes you to change how you live your life. Addiction is not particularly special in this regard.

I'd add that, if you don't know the individual critic's taste, they might as well be another take on public opinion. There can be something to be gained, but for the everyday person, you are best off with "what did the general public think" and what did this person (whose tastes I know) think?

A good example (I think, at least when ignoring drama) is Total Biscuit. He makes it clear when playing a genre of game he doesn't care for or if a game is in a setting he loves. He lays it out and tries to be fair and objective (even if that pursuit is a fool's errand).

P.S. I'd also like to say that the pursuit of an unachievable goal (objectivity, perfection, etc...) is a noble pursuit even if unobtainable, as it will cause a drive to be better and improve. Rather than an excuse to be lazy since, "perfect/objective/... is impossible.

I'm not sure what the author wants bitcoin to be. They are correct in pointing out the various scams that litter bitcoin, but they also seem to want to shut out crime (silkroad et al) with better analysis tools and centralization. Without the various scams pumping the price criminals are the only ones who would be using bitcoin, as they are locked out of the much simpler & easier to use alternatives that any normal person will use.
CRIU has so many more features and is so much more powerful that I don't think it's a fair comparison at all to make. You might argue that you could have implemented all of the features on another system like DragonFlyBSD (and in fact I would argue it would've been easier than doing it on Linux) but I don't see why that statement matters. What makes CRIU "unique" is that it does have those features and it is used on production systems for live migrations. I remember there used to be very old Linux tools that did the same thing in the same timeframe as checkpt, but they weren't widely used either because they didn't support any of the things CRIU does.

For example, not being able to restore sockets of any form (such as TCP sockets) is a massive limitation that CRIU doesn't have. userfaultfd allows for CRIU to have a slave process that is used as a source of lazy page loading from another machine (allowing for viable cross-host checkpoint/restore with on paper no downtime). And you can use CRIU to checkpoint/restore entire containers (DragonFlyBSD doesn't have Jails, but it looks like you can't even checkpoint process trees).
Also, an interesting thing about metacritic (at least from what I can remember) is that they are silent about how they weight differing review sites/critics in how they calculate their overall rating.

Whereas (as far as I know) RT has a simple average for critic reviews and general internet user reviews.

Someone has always been able to "create money out of nothing." At some point there was no money; some time later there was. Someone or some group of people had to create the first money. People have actually "initialized" money many times throughout history e.g. when starting a country.

As long as you can separate "money" from its representation, there is nothing particularly problematic about some people being able to create money, at least some of the time. In fact it is necessary to provide money with liquidity as the economy grows and money is needed for more and more things (liquidity problems have triggered or worsened economic crises several times in history, especially when countries were trying to base their money on weights of metals).

The problem with the patent clause was that it prevented you from suing Facebook for any patent infringement, even if it's unrelated to React. If you're a React using-company, this more or less meant that Facebook had carte blanche to infringe on any your patents at will in an exchange for a license to use their React patents. That's a quite one-sided deal.
Well this idiotic.

BSD+Patents would terminate its patent grants if ever yourself and Facebook entered litigation. Implying Facebook would add a patent suit to their defense/offense.

Now they STILL get too! Buuut they look like a good guys. MIT says nothing about Patents. So they can sue _anyone_ using React for patent violations now.

I have great succesful with MongoDB and at this point, I think it's the best database out there.

If you can live without transaction, then think about utilizing MongoDB.

- Add index without blocking anything
- Array index is transaprent from you. Same query for both of array or a single field.
- Partial index allow you to query on index while keep index size small to a certain amount of document
- TTL index help you avoid deleting document manually such as session data
- Spatial index avoid you to not index document missing field
- GEO spatial index is just awesome. Super easy to use
- Good enough full text search
- Data compression, out of the box
- Data compression for replication as wel
- Super easy to manage cluster: add, remove, hide node

Since FB is so "profitable" and such an attractive stock, why is Zuckerberg so scared of what the shareholders think? Are these the big shareholders or all the shareholders? The only thing I can think of is he can lose his Chairman of the Board position.

> The decision follows a rash of technology executives creating special shares to control their companies, and may make similar structures more difficult to put in place in the future.

I definitely don't want to see that happening myself. If I were ever in his position, I'd like to retain control while able to sell my assets to do whatever meaningful work I want to pursue without losing my control on the big decisions. I could quit being the CEO, but not the board chairman / president of the board.
