I have no doubt that your personal libertarianism finds racism, nationalism and isolationism distasteful.

I also have no doubt that prominent people who identify and are accepted as libertarian, and sites which are cited as and claim to be libertarian, have cultivated alliances with racist/nationalist/isolationist groups. To those groups, many libertarian positions are appealing: sweeping away all government regulation, for example, would get rid of those pesky laws that make it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race. Holding private contracts to be sacred and doing away with government interference in their performance means exploitative contracts -- close or even identical to actual slavery -- "entered" into on extremely coercive terms become perfectly acceptable. And so on and so forth.
Well, everyone that didn't want to use react, didn't use it because of the license, so I guess now these people will be happy too. Good news.
This is a very smart move by Facebook, and a win for the open source community as a whole. Why it took so long for the license change is a bit of a mystery, but removing the complications of software patents from their licenses will help further drive adoption and remove the precedent they were in danger of setting.
There was a graphql Patent grant issue as well.

A lot of practices and smaller clinics/hospitals are specifically targeted by larger chains to be acquired and to boost numbers. The whole system is fucked up.

I'm of the opinion that we should just open another branch, same as we do with the military, and say "Hey, you're going to get a good wage, but you will be deployed across the country to do tours of duty. You will be given standardized equipment and training, and you will be expected to care for your patients in whatever numbers and time they give you. In exchange, we'll cover education and housing for you".

It's disheartening to me that we also have so many people practicing medicine in other parts of the world when we have so many underserved here.
Addiction is a chemical dependency. It is neither a disease or a crime, it's usually a symptom of something else.

Substance abuse and addiction tends to originate from either a variety of sociological factors, or treatment (self or prescribed). A very large number of addicts are simply self medicating for one reason or another. Or at least they started off that way.

Even if society determines addiction and substance usage to be criminal, it's a victimless crime and a waste of resources.

That was incredibly unexpected. Facebook may very well end up in the majority's good graces with this move. I wonder how some of the bigger players will react (no pun intended) after their abandonment of React in lieu of Vue or some other framework. Interesting times indeed.
Let's pretend someone has arrived upon 14 million in after tax net worth (not the case in OP's scenario).

You want to be set "forever" and not dependent on working again. You'll probably work, but may not be able to replicate the same financial success you experienced previously, so it's hard to count on future income.

There's a debate around what's called the "Safe Withdrawal Rate" which is financial-market speak for: how much of my nest egg can I spend every year and never run out of money, ever?

There's some debate about the exact number but I'll use 3% net of investment fees as a solid number. 3% of 14 million is $420k. You've got $420k pre tax to spend. Fortunately taxes on capital income are usually lower than taxes on earned income, so your tax rate will decline and probably end up somewhere in the high 20s. You'll end up with about $320k after tax to spend. Not bad. But not what most people think about as rich, either. I wouldn't be buying jet cards at that level.

I'm not saying the money isn't important - to the extent it gives you control over your time in the future (a function of spending habits), it is extremely valuable. But there's often a disconnect between high 7 and very low 8 figure net worth and assumed income/perceived lifestyle that people can live, especially if they stop working or were in a field with one-time exits (some entrepreneurs, retired athletes, etc).

Good move by Facebook. This is highly appreciated.

I've built my own product, now building someone else's product at a scale that was inaccessible to me in my previous adventures. I've had lots of back and forth with myself on that as it's the first time I hold a corporate position in 10 years and I found the idea of working for someone else very unlike myself.

Eventually I understood I just like building stuff, the monetary compensation is just a bonus. If you let me build big enough stuff and pay me enough so that money is inconsequential, I'll be happy, at least temporarily; the end game is taking a startup "all the way", but what I'm doing now is an indispensable lesson in large scale stuff.
Was it asymmetrical? I thought it was a "we won't sue you for anything in this software, unless you sue us first". This change still allows them to sue you for any reason.
> Why it took so long for the license change is a bit of a mystery

Have you ever worked at a large company with its own legal team? It's not such a large mystery.
Just take the money then start a new startup.
I think it really depends on what you expect from your crew. Let's say you have a rotating pool of four 1-2K hour pilots, with 2 on deck for each flight on a week-on/week-off schedule. Skip the 'attendant', have the crew fuel up, and I think you could probably get away with $200K/yr for the personnel costs, depending on taxes/benefits.

Obviously the number, length, and complexity of flights would have a big impact as well. For 1 or 2 round-trip domestic flights per week, it should be doable.

Source: Had a friend who worked on several private flight crews that operated like this.

Edit: They mostly worked with clients in the $100MM/yr range, who tended to treat their staff like garbage and consequently had high turnover. Über-rich lurkers, YMMV.
Minor lol
I recently bought construct 2 after trying many open source alternatives. The issue I have with some of the open source stuff is when you want to use pixel art - it insists on re scaling either the camera (in a 2d scene) or the pixel art itself. It's a turn off that stops me from going any further with the product.

Hopefully Godot doesn't exhibit this behaviour.
Undetectable is the standard of care and is the definition for the treatment "working". Viral load is checked regularly after starting treatment. If it doesn't become undetectable quickly with first line meds, there may be compliance or resistance issues and treatment approach is changed. With current protocols the main reason for treatment failure is mental health/substance abuse interfering with adherence.

The studies on transmission are using sero-discordant couples who are not using condoms. The evidence/confidence has been building over time with multiple studies in which no transmissions were observed.

http://www.catie.ca/en/catienews/2016-09-06/negligible-risk-...

The HPTN 052 randomized study was halted early because the evidence so strongly favored the treatment arm. In the PARTNER observational study, no transmissions were observed in the study at all. The evidence is very strong.

It's possible, yes. It's also true that e.g. when you look at audio synthesizers, a shockingly large portion of the digital gear out there doesn't do it, making this a theoretical argument for a lot of the market, especially the cheaper end. Controllers or intermediate signals being sampled slowly or with too low resolution is a common complaint with digital or hybrid gear. There's also other, more general UX aspects that influence how an instrument feels to play that influence how it is used. So while I'm not fan of people insisting that they can get the perfect sound only with analog gear, I find the "but it's just math" arguments equally annoying.
Oh yeah, there's huge value in building a relationship with other parts of the business at a large company.

A lot of people loathe talking to Sales & Marketing but I always try to have a good understanding of their areas. If you build the right relationship it also gives you great trust and authority when cross-department decisions are made since you can (reasonably) speak to both sides.

Sure, by that standard anyone who succeeds does so meteorically, since only a handful do per generation, while many spend whole careers in politics. But that just means the standard is nonsense.

Your thinking is basically that supply is the problem rather than the demand?

Big organizations require more time and people to reach consensus at different hierarchical levels. Probably the legal department was the bottleneck.
HIV was/is an early hint at the computational complexity we face in understanding biology.

Not that we should consider in insurmountable nor ungrasp-able. But that we -- or parts of our society and professional institutions -- should lose some of our arrogance.

On the upside, that complexity also harbors enormous opportunity. Just, don't be simplistic about it an let your ignorance take you into disaster.
Programming is based on hero worship. Anyone who makes even half an effort to better themselves as a software developer will encounter famous names from the past - those that "made a difference" by creating languages, operating systems and algorithms. Keyword here is "create". This is not an industry that celebrates maintence programmers. There's no glory for the guy that spent 20 years keeping the system that your banking transactions depend upon.

So naturally young programmers will see to be the next Richie, Torvalds or Knuth and to do that you gotta create something new. Gotta change the world
It’s asymmetrical in the sense that your license terminates even if you sue them for something that’s not in the software you’re using. I.e. they rip off your feature, and you’re using React, you’re f##d.

The doc starts with a picture of a stupid time-travel sci-fi nonsense, ends with a picture of a stupid magic-monster harrypotter nonsense, in the middle with a picture of the remake of The magnificent seven. Which was the remake of Kurosawa's The 7 samurai. This is only entertaining if you are 14 or you have spent the last 35 years in a cave without contact to the outside world. What is killing the movie industry again?
>A movie designed to do well on a RT score needs to please everyone. The end result is something that tries to be bland, uninteresting, and inoffensive.

This is demonstrably untrue. Here is a link (along the left column) of the top RT movies for each year from 2014-2016:

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/top/

Sure there are some blockbusters, but there are also many excellent, interesting, engaging, even daring films like Moonlight, Hell or Highwater, Manchester by the Sea, Brooklyn, Mad Max: Fury Road, It Follows, Boyhood, Nightcrawler, and Birdman. And those are just among the top 10 scores for each year; if you expanded to movies in the 90% range of each year you'd have a large number of excellent choices.

I couldn't find a list of the top-rated RT movies for 2017, but (I think) currently the highest-rated among them is Get Out, a film specifically made to be the precise opposite of "bland, uninteresting, and inoffensive".

I submit that you simply choose to watch bad movies.
Kudos to Facebook and the React community for prompting this change, this was the right move.

Why Equifax’s error wasn’t hiring someone with a music degree
That's what gets me. There's a very narrow list of packages that they've selected for the MIT treatment. Why isn't the blog post something along the lines of "We're re-licensing all of our open source libraries under the MIT License and removing their patent clauses"? It seems like they're still trying to play games, and are only buckling to the pressure for a tiny number of libraries.
We've all got anecdotes, so here's mine. I was asked for ID each time I wanted to modify my AT&T account with a rep, and as such I produced one in the form of driver's license. At a major city hotel late at night, I produced my ID to a security guard who otherwise would not let me in with just my room key. At an airport security check, being over 18, I produced a government-approved ID to board the flight.

Maybe there are ways around all this, just like how in China, I bought a monthly subscription (not just pre-paid) China Unicom SIM at an official outlet using cash with no ID, and took many train and bus rides with just a ticket in hand.

Given the sheer diversity of HPV strains, I'm doubtful that we'll ever eradicate it, as a number of them are either genuinely or largely benign, and an out and out viral eradication campaign is a long term, sustained and global effort that is invariably very expensive.

Actually getting the vaccines that cover the high risk strains into the developing world is a much more obtainable goal, and even that is extremely challenging for a number of reasons.

My less cynical view (hope) maybe react-native isn't due for an update soon and they'll do it next time there's a version bump?
I suspect it also took time for the mounting discontent and for the number of voices to reach some kind of tipping point which then caused Facebook to begin the internal process of re-evaluating their licensing.

Either way, it's a good move.
Understandable, thanks for answering!

People downvoted. It seems they thought I was mocking @parent but I wasn't. It was a compliment. Anyways.
MIT license doesn't contain any patent clause. So it is the same as BSD + Patents with patents part revoked. Thus, in theory, FB can still have a case on patent over React even if you use the source with copyright grant.

Apache 2.0 has a patent grant from my understanding.
duckduck doubles traffic last year

Perhaps the movie industry is to blame for releasing tons of garbage movies and rehashing tired ideas. They pour a lot of effort into blockbusters and then many decent movies fall under the radar, often to be discovered through, oddly enough, RT or IMDB, or word of mouth.

Meanwhile, shows on Netflix and HBO are very popular, quite good, and manage to have good RT ratings.
Apache 2.0 has a patent clause going in the opposite direction of what they were originally trying to do. That's probably why they didn't use it.

For what it's worth, the software that I'm developing at a Big 4 is released under the Apache 2.0 license.

Routes were created about a year before ingress.

Part of what we do is give users a path of adoption. For instance, routes will continue to work forever. The openshift routers have almost every bell and whistle possible for routes - and we've recently added ingress support. We also took all of the security features of routes and applied them to ingress - for example, if two different namespaces ask for the same hostname with a route, the oldest one always gets served. We also adapted the security rbac around routes to ingress, so you can set a role that controls whether end users can use custom host names or custom certs. We also are in the process of adding all of our extended cert validation to the router for both routes and ingress, so if a user puts in a bad cert other users aren't impacted.

Basically, you can use vanilla Kubernetes if you want. But openshift is a sundae with sprinkles. Come for the ice cream, stay for the toppings?

Edit: also, every add on in openshift is either something that will eventually be in Kube, or an extension to Kube. Red Hatters are the ones who added extensibility to Kube (with help from others) like api extensions, CRD, initializers, web hook extensions, binary CLI plugins. We did that so that OpenShift can extend Kube to solve real user problems, and also so that everyone else in the ecosystem can do the same.

> This shift naturally raises questions about the rest of Facebook's open source projects. Many of our popular projects will keep the BSD + Patents license for now.

"New iterations didn't follow a continuous plan-do-check loop; everything was handled more like do something, get feedback, figure out something that you feel addresses that feedback, and then consider it done."

We are never done. We will always be iterating and improving. Much of the feedback we received confirmed assumptions we already had but wanted to test, such as collapsing the navigation, improving breadcrumbs, etc. Other feedback was new and we were challenged to solve those. Everything that was added to this release will undergo a round of user testing and be subject to iteration.

It does not sound like a complaint at all @carussell, thanks for the feedback.
> Because there’s nothing limiting this delivery channel to just a movie. In theory, the entire web experience could be encrypted using new layers of technology. Yes, that includes mandatory advertising. Mandatory. Advertising. Yes, on your screen. The principal shift here, to put the media companies in control instead of the user...

That heavily depends on your stage. In the seed and early stages it is about you as the founder who can sell the product the best. Network like crazy, go for long lasting relationships and make your first customers very happy. For any other stage and business model, you have to ask more specifically / provide more details about your business as the sales funnel & buyers journey can vary a lot.
Which successful business are you talking about? OP's business is clearly promising, but if it needs $2M to keep going, success is clearly still ahead.

For LPs trusting a VC with their cash, successful means the company growing 10x in the next seven years. That VC's conviction that the ability to hustle is between where OP is and 10x is something you could disagree about, but I'd say it's somewhat less arbitrary than forking over $2M at just the data given.

Maybe different financing tools would allow for different definitions of success, and different guesses about what the OP needs to get there. I'd like to see someone weigh in on debt financing options, which I don't know enough about. But nobody is abusing young minds here.
I'm speaking out of complete ignorance, but if you have assured revenue and just need funding to cover operations until all the checks clear, you might try just getting a small business loan. It comes with none of the cachet of venture capital, but also none of the baggage. Just make your payments and they'll stay out of your hair.
You don't need to update anything else besides the license when changing the license, though? There's no version bump required.
Wait, so they're replacing a license that has a dodgy patent grant that everyone distrusted, with a license that doesn't have a patent grant at all? Why not Apache?
Please comment substantively here.
