IANAL, but I think cold emails are still legal in Germany, provided they're not just advertisements (e.g. "someone added you as maintainer of [super awesome project]" is probably OK) and you offer a clearly visible option to unsubscribe (i.e. it shouldn't require posting on a random internet forum to get the attention of a company representative).

In essence, the law prohibits business practices that are an "unacceptable nuisance". While advertising via email spam is clearly called out as such, not all cases are so clear cut and will depend on the judge's opinion of acceptable behavior.

> How much money do you really think a developer can make without going through the App Store?

A lot. Your mistake here is in thinking that all software is direct to consumer. Being able to install software without going through a store is very important for a lot of small to medium business that have custom or customized software. You can do it with android, you could do it with windows mobile in the 90's, it's mostly just apple that want to exert so much control over you.

Copyright was for authors a very long time ago[1]. It's been slowly corrupted by the greed of publishers over a very long time, but it is important to remember where copyright actually comes from and to reject emotional arguments about the rights of publishers (in truth, they don't deserve rights over creators' works -- they abuse creators enough as-is).

I re-read your posts carefully, and I concede that you did not actually state or imply that an incompetent modification should be covered.

I think I'm actually in complete agreement with what you've said (at least in this thread, can't speak to other threads ATM cause I haven't read them all). Perhaps our only disagreement may be on whether governments should enforce this, or whether companies should do it on their own. I fully agree with the latter (in fact I bought a phone from OnePlus specifically for this reason).
Nice, congrats!!!
Very cool. It's like a CMS adapted for a research groups (a.k.a. labs --- note potential source of confusion since lab can also mean actual lab with test tubes etc).

One thing that I found confusing is the lack of pricing info. Is this going to be free and if so how will you pay the hosting bill when you get 1000+ freeloaders?

Or do you see it as a run-it-yourself free software?
Thinking like yours gave us GPLv3 and less subsequent adoption of copyleft licenses.

Which means you’ve got a lovely and ideologically pure hill to die on, but die you will.

In the real world code is useless without being adopted. The largest adopters? Businesses. They don’t want to use GPLv3? Less developers likely to use it (market forces I’m afraid).

So no, I’ll keep paying attention to what works and not be beholden to the idealistic notions of the FSF, thanks.

> I prefer clear rules that say, "You can unlock your bootloader and flash whatever you want to the device, but if you do we aren't going to fix your screw-up"

Well, except that at least my point was about laws, and this is not a useful law. The question is not what rules you would like to see from manufacturers, but what meta-rules you would like to see from the government that define how manufacturers can make rules that apply to you.

> If it's a hardware defect that has nothing to do with flashing software, that's a different story.

Why should there be any difference between the two? If either of them is defective as delivered, why should it not always be the responsibility ot the manufacturer/seller to fix the problem, and why should it play any role whether I modified the product, be it in software or in hardware, as long as my modification is not the cause for the defect?

> But the libertarian perspective (which is what was asked for) is that it's between you and the company.

Well, except it isn't, because whatever is between me and the company is ultimately governed by the framework provided by laws, and thus enforced by the government. An agreement that cannot be enforced is ultimately worthless. So, the interesting question is: What rules should the government enforce and which should it make effectively worthless by not enforcing them?

You are wrong. Many, many engineering companies started without requiring a solid chunk of cash to start.

In Germany it is quite common to start that way even today. Many startup folks consider this old fashioned. But it is the most engaging and valuable way to start a companies. Because then your about skills and providing real value and not for that fast money with a fast exit. You don't want an exit at all. 3 friends of mine started in the 90s a tools and services companies for the automotive world. They are now all 3 retired and moved to company to a trust fund so that no other company can ever own that, so that this company can exists for ever. Compared to the US. Remember DEC, HP, SUN, Silicon Graphics, and alike? All companies got sold at on time to another and basically disappeared with that.

Yes, "bootstrapping" is the old fashioned way in the old fashioned world to start companies.

I like that his followup is truthful about the very real short comings of his solutions. For any real-time system, if there is a hard requirement of 95% accuracy, I can understand the initial pricetag. The vendor carries all the risk. Making proof of concept resilient and usable in the real world is not easy nor cheap.

His examples of camera placement and image distortion alone are non trivial problems to solve. Maybe they need custom made cameras for them to be fast enough and small enough, with good enough resolution.

That said, $86M is a lot of money. If you assemble a team of 5 people. Assume they use $1M a year each in for salary, office, equipment, ect, they can work fulltime on this for 5 years and still have more than $60M left for other stuff.

Thanks for your insights. I also believe that we are much further on the L4/L5 front than what most automakers proclaim. I was quite "disappointed" with the $400M acquisition price tag when companies like Cruise sold for $1B to GM and MobilEye were acquired by Intel for $15B.

Do you know how far are Nutonomy to the likes of Waymo/Cruise or even Tesla/comma.ai from a tech point of view? There is so much opacity in this market that it is very hard to determine where each player stands.

Also seems to me that the way to play it smart if you are a startup in automotive space is to build ever more advanced ADAS features and sell them to carmakers or if you are building driverless vehicles deploy them in very safe and sunny environments. Would really appreciate getting your thoughts on this as I am in interested in this sector.

I am currently wearing my "looking at the monitor glasses" that I bought from Zenni Optical.I bought it somewhere between 4 and 6 years ago for around $15.

I have three pairs of driving glasses, a pair for running,a rimless pair, and a pair for use at work. They are all from Zenni and were all bought 4 to 6 years ago. They have various levels of tinting from none to fairly dark. Antireflection and antiscratch coating were standard. The most expensive was $30.

I would like to buy some new glasses from Zenni, but my optometric prescription has not changed and the frames and lenses are still in ridiculously good shape.

I rejoiced when my work glasses has a nasal bridge fall off. Unfortunately, I found that I was able to repair it in a few seconds.

So despite the pittance that it costs, I still use these old glasses. Perhaps if I carefully drop some dumbbells on them.... :-)

The problem is, money loss through poor software quality is (and maybe can) not be calculated in a way that, for example time (for development) can be measured. Often the arguments for increasing software quality, for example through refactoring parts of a codebase, are therefor not fact-based, but mostly vague. This is often not enough to encourage the decision-makers to invest in good software quality.

Apart from that some people might deliberately choose to not care about good software quality. But in my opinion this is often a sign of missing/poor education/experience.
I've heard this annually or so for 5 years or so. Yet whenever I look at a benchmark of linux games about half of them don't work on AMD GPUs.

Similar for the steam statistics on linux, AMD just doesn't compete on anything that pushes the GPU on linux. Even things like vlc, mplayer, plex, and friends often get the AMD GPUs in a wonky mode.

The problems I most often see is new windows fail to map, I just get a black window. Presumably something to do with memory allocations of the backing store. It's also frequently munges the console so I can't get to text mode to unwedge the AMD GPU.

So generally if you what a stable linux box I'd recommend nvidia or intel GPUs. Things just work, you can easily have month long uptimes, and things don't freak just because you are playing 1080P video full screen. No pixel droppings, no failing to map, console always works, etc.
Hi there. Good questions. We will be introducing pricing for some advanced features (that we are working on right now) and analytics later, but the core functionality will stay free. We are covering the hosting bill with the help of some local startup programs and some bootstrapping for small things. And currently we are actively seeking funding from investors/accelerators. Some are interested, but waiting to see if this gains traction. So right now, we have to onboard as many users as we can, get feedback from users and then we will have a considerably higher chance to find some funding.
Hoia-Baciu Forest UFO Sightings: BEST UFO PICTURES EVER TAKEN
GPLv3 has many, many improvements over GPLv2. In fact, there are several improvements that should make it _more_ favourable to companies:

1. The terms of section 8 (termination) are much "nicer" to people who make mistakes and infringe on the terms of the GPLv3. GPLv2 was very hard-line, and in principle the revocation of rights was immediate. This is something that companies should _like_ about GPLv3.

2. The text is written to be far similar to a legal document (GPLv2 uses non-standard formatting especially with regards to how definitions of terms are done), which makes it easier for lawyers to understand and argue about the license.

3. It is compatible with Apache-2.0 now, by having a patent protection clause that is similar to Apache-2.0 (but of course it's copyleft) -- most notably it only affects contributors (which includes people who distribution verbatim and modified works). Using the program doesn't add any patent requirements (other than the Apache-2.0-like patent revocation system).

4. The "tivoisation" clauses that people like to make a fuss over actually only state two key things. First, it states that no software licensed under GPLv3 "shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure" -- which effectively means that the DMCA cannot apply to GPLv3 licensed programs (this is good for both users and companies). Second, one of the requirements is that you must distribute tools and instructions (this includes things like keys if appropriate) for changing the software on a system. This second requirement may seem onerous, but it actually doesn't require you to ship the hardware signing keys if you have a way to disable the hardware signing (or a way to replace the signing keys without needing the original keys). This is also good for companies that buy hardware that has GPLv3 software (but it does place some additional burden on companies that ship said software).

While (4) might cause some angst, there are other very useful features of the GPLv3 that you seem to be ignoring. Not to mention you didn't actually specify what the issue you're talking about is. I presume it's got to do with the "tivoisation" clause, but that clause is not the most important part of GPLv3.

Not to mention that, depending who you ask, there is a "tivoisation" clause in GPLv2. In particular, GPLv2 states that "for an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable" (emphasis mine). Personally "the scripts used to control [...] installation" could include instructions on how to install an executable on a piece of hardware you've sold me (if that hardware has DRM, you have to tell me how to install the executable despite the DRM). This is still not entirely agreed upon in in the GPL conformance community (the SFC has not explicitly stated which way they go on this one either).
> It also doesn't say anything about people suing individually.

Lawsuits are very expensive and time-consuming. Few individuals have the resources to sue companies like Equifax. Also, if Equifax defrauds 10 million people of $1,000 each, that's $10 billion in fraud but zero penalty, because $1,000 isn't worth a lawsuit for any individual.

The same business that will happily take anything that is MIT licensed, to reduce development costs by getting software at $0 and never contributing anything back.

When they do, is only a few bread crumbs to the villagers, while keeping the crown jewels behind their gates.

I used to be a big (L)GPL zealot during the 90's, nowadays I just reverted back to using commercial software, because the community just doesn't care about companies taking their work away.

I mean that the jack will remain the default connector headphones regardless of what the iPhone or any other phone does, since headphones have other devices to consider. Will there be Apple-only headphones with lightning conenctor? Sure. But any pair of serious cans will be expected to work on any device and that means it will use the headphone jack. You'll simply need an adapter to use them with mobile devices.

> Plus, how often do you see an iPhone plugged into an AVR?

I'm talking about the headphone's connector.
When you use such a device (with a 'custom' distribution) you need to go 'all the way' with regard to shunning software which depends on this 'verification'. This is the most logical course to take anyway as the assumption is that you want to use a device which only runs such software you know about, not things pushed by vendors with their own agendas. So, sad as it might be for some, the likes of Netflix (et al) will not run on devices which refuse to listen to their master's voice (i.e. to Google, Netflix, etc) but only do the bidding of the device owner.

I have no problems with this as I don't want to use such 'services' anyway. I keep my own digital library, on my own server, using free software. I have no problems foregoing the latest H*llywood 'blockbuster' to keep a semblance of control over what I consider to be my private sphere.
It's perfectly legal to lend a friend your car.
What business stay away from GPL3 that were OK with GPL2? The only one I can think of is apple and they're the type of free loaders that don't benefit the wider OSS community anyway. Most companies are still using linux with gnu tools so the version 3 hasn't affected them at all.
> Yet whenever I look at a benchmark of linux games about half of them don't work on AMD GPUs.

Not sure what you looked at, but I see quite a rapid progress of bug fixes: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Mesa_Broken

Never had problems with vlc or mpv on AMD. It works just fine with vaapi. If anything munges the console, it's Nvidia blob which doesn't even support framebuffer.

Also, it sounds like you aren't using Mesa, but use AMD closed stack instead. Don't do that. In short, if you want a stable experience - AMD is way ahead of Nvidia.
