Interesting that it’s all a desktop app. What problem do you think this solves compared to something that runs in the cloud ? Apart from the cost structure, I can’t think of anything myself.
From a business point of view, I understand the reasoning, but everyone wants everything for free ;-)

I my concern is more that such a closed core/custom license doesn't bring with it the peace of mind that I usually associate with Free/OS software: that any work put into it, and any deployments (including future deployments) will be able to at least run on current code, regardless of licensing. And that was mostly an academic worry, until Oracle bought Sun, and demonstrated that companies would indeed do silly things to open software. Note that if it was Wallaroo that was "closed up", there'd be much more work and/or impossible to fork the system and continue using it.

Sun with it's CDDL is also interesting for the problem wrt GPL incompatibility (which I think affects your license as well, (see: "Further Restrictions"). While I don't expect any of this code/system to run in the kernel, or inside some other system, like GCC - it is a (small) concern in terms of future use.

It'll be interesting to see how this works out for you - I absolutely understand the need to monetize, and even if this is more of a "source available" license, than "Free Software" - it's still better than a completely closed system. But it'll never be distributed as part of eg: Debian/Main - like for example the jdk, or apache or spark is.

I guess my main take-away is that this isn't "open source" but rather "source available" - because there's no way I can modify your software and sell/give/distribute it to someone and have them run it as and how they whish (Freedom zero).

I don't mean this as criticism, but as an observation.

[ed: On a more encouraging note, I know some big clients of Oracle/Solaris that were frustrated with the closed source offering, because there existed patches for problems on the open source OpenSolaris side for serious issues with big zfs deployments that took months to show up in the closed/supported offering from Oracle. So at least having a "transitive" license (if you have a license you can run community-improved code, not be bound to wait for upstream) is an improvement.]

[ed2: Now, what happens when company X implements a similar license for compiler for language Z that is incorporated in Wallaroo (eg: APL/J, something new?) - but perhaps choose a different number of CPUs to trigger the need for a license? Could my system X-with-wallaroo require license fees from me to run at 12+ cpus, and from Wallaroo at 32+ cpus?). Just a thought.]
It's analogous to a translation note: any time you need to add a comment is a time where you've failed as a programmer. Sometimes it's necessary, but it should be a last resort.

I can well believe that writing Perl would require comments, but to my mind that's a case of "don't do that then".

Problem is, the place is huge... 263,900 employees as of this year. [0] With that many people, you'll inevitably have numbskulls who upload critical security information to public websites. You'll also have so many services deployed that some of them will be wide open.

At that scale, even near-perfect controls will have enough chinks to sink you.

Wisdom is the degree to which you accept that you don't understand anything.
I can't help but get the sense that you want to see "factor X made Y cheaper" come out in Y getting absolutely cheaper. But it's just a single factor in a complex world. Consider the alternative; do you really think that removing the automation today would have no impact on the price? Even after the economy had a chance to adjust? Personally I find the idea incredible, in the older sense of "not credible".

Hmm. This helps explain to me the weird notion that some people are “white” and others are “black”, when neither is either. Addendum: The new ones that were found that weren’t white or black were obviously... red.
It's not about complex vs simple, but about adding unnecessary assumptions. At least, that's the strict form of Occam's razor which I'm using here.

If I have two theories:

1. which says that the Earth orbits the Sun and predicts when seasons and sunrises occur

2. the same as 1, plus undetectable pink elephants are floating through space

Then Occam's razor says we should discard the second, because it just adds an assumption without adding predictive power.

Or more plainly, if my axioms are a = 2b and a = b^2 then adding the axiom sqrt(a) = b creates a strictly inferior theory.
If Adam Savage was caught by surprise (the location of his home was embedded in a photo he shared online) then I would think a lot of other people would be surprised too.
Sometimes you just can't reasonably test for everything. And sometimes it is not your fault. Operating systems have bugs too, and then there are bugs that are introduced by the presence of yet another application.

The rule of thumb, I believe, should be this: whenever you're dealing with a shared resource which you do not own - like with files on disk, or data on the other side of the network - your application state is just a cache for that data, and you need to offer a way to manually force a refresh of the cache.

At Cruise Automation we're writing software that is so thoroughly unreliable and wrongly designed that it will never be the basis of a real product.

> Only God Himself can make a pivot table that's usable by a newcomer without "having to read any documentation"

Then I guess god himself built the Excel pivot table UI, because I know I never read the documentation on pivot tables before diving in. I just picked up from somewhere that a problem I had might be solved with a pivot table, dug through the UI to find the ‘insert pivot table’ option, and followed the prompts, backtracking with ‘undo’ if things went wrong.

There is real power in interfaces where a user can, knowing that something is possible in the tool, figure out for themselves how to accomplish that goal. Yes, without having to read documentation or attend a training course.
For a while I had COBRA plans in the $500-$800 a month range for a family in New York State; I knew what my employers were paying and the COBRA rates didn't seem crazy.

The Obamacare exchange in New York is pretty good if you can get the subsidies.

On an individual market, it is almost axiomatic that the price difference between a high deductible and low deductible plan will be the amount of the deductible. It is a textbook case of adverse selection.
It's worth stressing that Deloitte is not a cyber security firm primarily. It's actually much worse (for them): they're a Big 4 audit company [1].

The fact that they are such a company both explains the situation and makes it worse. First, one should realize that 99.8% of people working at these companies don't know the first thing about cyber security. The 0.2% of people that do might actually be really good [2] but these consultancies don't tend to put their employees on improving the internal state of affairs.

Second, attackers getting access to security-related material might be bad, but it will be much worse for Deloitte if people get access to the financially sensitive data that the majority of their employees work on. Not only can this be more directly damaging to their clients, this data and the responsibilities around it are affected by many more laws and regulations.

[2]: This typically also depends on which local franchisee of the Big Four brand you're talking to, but let's not go down that rabbit hole.
He's not frugal, he is very creative with his accounting. In the post you linked he deducts his medical expenses and food expenses.

Also if you look at the post you linked "Does not include the $30k detached Studio I built." 30k$ is more than a LOT of people gross annually in the U.S. and he claims it doesn't count as an expense which conveniently keeps his budget 30k$ smaller than it in fact was.

According to the U.S Census Bureau "The per capita income for the overall population in 2008 was $26,964; for non-Hispanic Whites, it was $31,313; for Blacks, it was $18,406; for Asians, it was $30,292; and for Hispanics, it was $15,674." which are all less than his 30k$ "hey guys it doesn't count I added a whole new room to my house" creative budget.

Someone compared the election manifesto from the British National Party (who are basically neo-Nazi) for the 2005
UK election, and the 2017 manifesto from the Conservative party, the main centre-right party in the UK.

And there were an awful lot of similarities which the Conservatives wouldn't have put in before.

The other big thing, in comparison to cloud software, is convenience. You can setup a crawl and start it running -and see URLs being crawled - within a minute.

On cloud software that's simply not possible, due to the way that everything is scheduled.

There are a few other small things, such as being able to view Audits offline (what we call 'train mode').

The cost structure can be a big limiting factor though, especially for smaller companies. Sitebulb effectively remove all limitations around number of domains, number of projects, total number of URLs crawled etc...
The objective implications of leaving the EU vs. staying in it -- things like trade agreements, the land border with Ireland, and which decisions were imposed by the EU vs. decided by the UK government -- were poorly understood by most of the population. It was a complex issue and most people, regardless of age, were out of their depth. Wisdom, gained in completely unrelated areas, isn't much use if you don't know the facts.
And theirs do not equal to yours. While it is generally admitted that "outside" is more experience-rich and your inequality is mathematically correct, you force the statement that interacting with "non-real" entities does not generate experience. This is not true, actually. Ask a gamer, a worker, a stripper, a mother about their experiences and they'll tell you hell of a lot you traveller never experienced or even thought of. Wisdom is a function of time among other arguments, though the application area and the volume of it may vary on many of these. One cannot age and do nothing, except for few percent of extereme isolation cases.
Nice! SAT solvers reason about propositional logic, i.e., zeroth-order logic.

Next step: Reason about first-order and higher-order logic. For example, with a Prolog engine written in Go.

I think, but can not directly prove, that you're already talking about a very small minority there, single-digit percentage levels. Lots of people just muddle along, or ask the office grapevine, or just give up.
It can definitely leak more than that. That's why employees are supposed to use PGP to communicate sensitive information between themselves or with the clients. We do that at my work, I really hope they did it at Deloitte.

Agree. Unlike how most news outlets portray it, most issues have valid points on both sides. If someone doesn't understand both sides and can argue either, they don't really understand the problem. If they don't understand the problem and defer to news coverage, and are being manipulated.

Based on most of the coverage of Brexit, I wouldn't have any idea what the pro-Brexit points are.

BINGO! And he bends the truth with his budget, go look at http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2017/05/19/2016-spending/

Claims they live off of 'About $22,000' after saying that his 30k$ home addition does not count in his budget because it's not a necessary expense... "Finish materials for my house and the homes of some friends/family. Does not include the $30k detached Studio I built."

That's extremely deceptive.
I used to use an apple TV and an HTPC hooked up via HDMI. But my new Samsung TV really nailed it with their built in apps. It does Plex, Hulu, Amazon Video and Youtube. Plus I only have to use the 1 remote (which is also nice, about 10 buttons total).
Language detection works on language trigrams, and are trained on human language. I bet punctuation is stripped during preprocessing. So it's not surprising that code will have false positives.

> "One may wonder, try hard, fail hard and learn. Then you become wiser."

> "This rhymes with Zen / Buddhism"

The Zen approach to wisdom a bit different from what many think of as education, as knowing the path and walking the path are two different, almost opposite things.

For example, to know the path the answer to gaining wisdom would be close to "don't try". However, to walk the path towards wisdom you can try, and learn from that experience.

A better question might be, why do you want to be wise?
>In a free system, the users could have done this themselves years ago instead of waiting for Apple.

Is this satire? If there's one thing the open source movement has proven, it's that without the backing of a business very little will happen. If there were some "free" mobile system out there, the only way it could work is if there was a "red hat mobile" type of company funding its development. Random "users" generally wouldn't fix anything just as they don't fix Linux/Mozilla/etc. bugs now.

The argument is that we are trying to remove humans from the equation. Put fully automated systems on the road that have near-perfect reaction times. The only way to get there is by boiling the frog. Technology is scary. It is even more scary when you tell someone that you're entrusting your life to automated tech. What do you do to change that? Marketing!

Start by using singular feature roll out. We've seen lots of these little systems being introduced: sensors for blind spots, auto-braking, adaptive cruise-control, lane-assist, alerts for drifting out of lane, etc. Now they're telling consumers that driving is becoming automated while auto manufacturers have been slowly automating the driving process feature-by-feature for years. They're up front that it isn't unrestricted autonomy. That is, "Hey, this will keep you safe, but just in case, keep your eyes on the road. Don't worry though; these are the same features you've been using for years. "

This isn't a dumb entertainment system for showing off to your friends. It's field testing for future iterations when it is 100% automated. It's genius.

> Inter-vehicle communications is standardized

That is a recipe for easy sabotage. I think any self-driving car can accept inputs from all sorts of senors and/or peer devices, but at the end of the day it should "trust no one".
I live in the home of the big 3, the metro Detroit area, and there's a pretty healthy mix of all nationalities of cars, so I don't think there's anything profoundly "American" about a Cadillac. In wealthy areas around here, I would even say that tastes run decisively German.

But car design is essentially dying as a significant differentiator. Consumers' preferences are quickly converging on jellybean-like mini SUV's - it's hard to quantify, but cars are more than ever about utility and not identity. To the extent that non-SUV's even matter any more, manufacturing technology improvements are making mid-range Korean cars about as visually striking as an Audi to the average person.

Anyway, I mostly suspect that recognizably "American" cars are holding on to some garish/aggressive elements because they're the the only way left to visibly differentiate - they'd rather be spunky and recognizable as their own (ugly) brand than blend in with Hyundais and Mazdas on the road.
If I had money to invest, I would put some of it into highway paint producers. All the vision systems depend on crisp high-contrast lane markings, so states will soon be under pressure to re-stripe their highways so their citizens can use their autonomous cruise equipped cars.
>> I bet their accounting practices are just as screwed up.

The difference is that proper accounting has laws behind it. If your accounting practices are crooked enough, executives can go to jail and/or be personally liable for losses. If there were similar information security laws, I suspect we'd have far fewer breaches like this.
>If Apple was serious about protecting privacy it would move operation to a different place where law actually still offers some privacy protection.

Do you appreciate what your asking? You're honestly saying if they do something this radical then they're "not serious about privacy"?
Well, someone said it to them, as the preceding sentence makes clear. That's journalism.

No, seriously - journalism is not about digging until you find some kind of underlying "fact", there simply isn't time and what you're asking for could potentially be an extraordinary amount of work; journalism is about reporting what the reporter sees and what people tell them. Obviously it's incumbent on them to evaluate their sources, but not usually to write next to the sources' words the journalist's own opinion of the situation.

You can usually see this structure in reporting, where sources will be either named or given an anon descriptor (here "a friend").

"The Iraqi information minister says that Iraq has not been invaded": this is accurate journalism if he really did say that.

"Iraq has not been invaded" (no source) : not accurate journalism.

"The jews are responsible for funding the invasion of Iraq" : fake news.
As a side note - and not necessarily being this the case - I have seen in my experience companies/institutions that have reasonable "good" security policies and provisions at user level (including the "common" employees/contractors) and then a much more lax one at a higher level (like - literally - having the login/password for every system scribbled on a post-it pinned to the IT administrator monitor or allowing some top executives access the systems without login/password - or with "123456" - because it was inconvenient for them to use a secure method).
Most current "visa" postings are just for transferring current visas (H1B), not sponsoring a new one for someone outside the country.
> Is there such a thing as free communication that isn't regulated. Maybe that's what Walkie Talkies are but assuming "internet like purpose" or at least remote in/out.

Take a look at LoRAWAN. You can stand up your own gateways and activate devices without involving a third party or paying licensing fees. TheThingsNetwork operates a popular gateway federation service which is also free, so you may find that there are accessible gateways already running in your area which you can use today, permission and $$$ not required.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that this was temporary.

The new tuple syntax in C#7 required the addition lf the ValueTuple class in the framework, but as framework and compiler versions are released independently it has to go into one first. This means people can upgrade their compiler to C#7, and install the ValueTuple nuget package and get the benefit of the new langauge feature without having to move their entire project to require the latest version of the .net framework. I believe the next version of the framework will include ValueTuple by default and the package will no longer be required.
There's plenty of people in the US who agree with you...

That is why German, Japanese (Toyota, Honda, Subaru, etc), and even South Korea (Kia) vehicles are fairly popular in the US too. They have a similar look to vehicles produced for the European market.

I absolutely agree that the traditional US-based manufacturers such as GM, Chrysler, and Ford have a certain ultra-macho-aggressive look to them. There is a certain demographic that likes to buy American manufactured vehicles, and also likes that type of styling.

Tesla is actually strange because they're an American manufacturer that mostly appeals to liberals.
Another problem with no spaces is that it is difficult to use editors, word processing software, etc. because the dash and surrounding words are treated as one thing.

This came up in an editing and typesetting discussion one day. I've been convinced ever since that there should be at least a small space around em dashes.
