But that is not true. An attorney will try that, while someone on a jury might not even be aware his believe in a nuclear family is used to paint the victim as a slut. Being aware of your own biases and noticing others trying to abuse them will require education and training. Random citizens won't have the time for that. A professional judge (should) take that time.

Do you take you medical advice from random citizens as well, since it is harder for the pharmacy industry to influence them? I'd want to avoid corruption. Transparency helps, but comes with its own issues... if at all possible. I do want a system that avoids centralized power as much as possible but still lets trained experts do the job. There's got to be a better balance.

As I understand it, the problem is that many people use the same password on every forum. When they do this, an unscrupulous webmaster can use the hash to login as these members on other forums they post at.

We use shaded/fat jars where I work because it's easier to ensure we never run into issues with missing dependencies. It does however come at the cost of longer build times. I've been hoping that Docker might be able to help with this by allowing us to keep all of the dependencies in the container base image and then just add the new class files in the build process. Is that a reasonable assumption?

Small correction: current loans are written off after 30 years, not 20.

Also worth noting that loans can still be sold off by the SLC (though remain managed by the SLC, so probably makes little if any difference to the individual), and government ownership hasn't completely stopped the use of questionable tactics (e.g. debt collection letters purporting to be from "Smith Lawson & Company").

The thing is, if a candidate seems interesting, you should teach her to look up their website and read their full agenda. If they've held positions before, also to google them to find out what they've actually said and done in the past, and to think carefully about what kinds of implications those deeds may have had. You most certainly shouldn't base your election choices on paid ads - or, really, any kind of information only from a single outlet.

To extend let's change the field a bit: Imagine you are a scientist working in a lab, employed to develop new technologies. One day you're falling in the shower and scribble an idea for a flux capacitor. Could you patent it? Or the company? What if it happens in the office? If that makes a difference: How to prove? Most employment contracts (at least the ones I have seen) make the assumption clear, that all results of "software development" are treated as work for the company. Many companies than have ways to allow hobby projects info uelds different from the actual work (while that definition is quite unspecific and has to be decided case by case)
There is certainly object detection available on the cameras and behavioral analysis applied to this information and POS data in aggregation software at the store and chain level for both loss prevention and marketing reasons.

Series A Investment Round for Userlane, the Navigation System for Software
The rationale of the GPL is that if one allows a commercial closed-source derivative of an open source project, then the commercial derivative will always be the best one, since it can incorporate any changes from the open source project, but the open source project cannot do the same.

This means that the best software will tend to be proprietary software as long as there's anyone at all making such proprietary derivatives, which is the opposite of the FSF's mission.

Instead, by preventing non-free derivatives using the GPL, proprietary software can only be better if the total amount of work put on it is greater than open source software, which is a non-trivial barrier.

AGPL just extends that logic to remote services.

Part of the GPLv3 instead seeks to reduce the commercial success of freedom-denying hardware by preventing it being shipped with GPLv3-licensed software.
I've floated around the Game industry as a developer, and I have to say its one of the most toxic management industries I've seen. Too many times I've seen folks who just don't qualify, running developer teams like its some sort of feudal village .. the inclination towards prejudice and bigotry is just too damned high.

I wonder why it is that this industry in particular has such a problem with toxic management? My personal theory is that its because games are fundamentally a total decadence, and decadence just brings out the worst in humans ..
Nothing has changed at all as far as I can tell. It's such a media event right now simply because it was taken advantage of by the President to win the election. Anything that can potentially cast Trump in a bad light is bound to get a lot of media attention.

This is all ignoring the fact that President Obama used almost the same Facebook app analytics tactics to win his campaign (albeit less deceptively).

Regardless of why it is getting attention now, let's be optimistic that the dangers of the silicon valley surveillance apparatus are starting to seep into the public consciousness. I for one would welcome a changing attitude towards how we view and sell our private information to these companies.

People seem to be equating a political profile and targeted advertising with a brain ray that makes people pull the lever for a funded candidate.

Just to take one high level example: Facebook was still "thefacebook" and closed to the public by the time George W. Bush was elected to the white house for a second term. How can we honestly winkwink/nudgenudge a "stolen election" at the feet of facebook or CA when clearly liberal politics were defeated in 2000/2004 with standard political rhetoric? Why are we giving facebook/CA credit for having so much political power?

I hate to use such a broad lens for the recent incident and I hope I'm communicating what I'm intending to here. I just don't see how somehow this incident "changed everything" or even changed much of anything when you look at the history how campaigns get people to vote for their candidate.

People don't want to hear this but targeted memes didn't make people anti-abortion or pro-nazi or whatever conserative boogey-man you pick. Conservative voters are people not a pathology. You may not like their views or the way they vote but this whole "people who don't think the way I do are brainwashed" thing has to go. You're buying that argument at your own peril because conservatives aren't going anywhere.

AGPL is a very different spirit than MIT. MIT is pretty much “do what you want, but no warranty applies, and you have to give credit”. AGPL is a strong copyleft license that requires redistribution and even extends redistribution requirements to indirect users, specifically users of the services you run using AGPL code.

> as it redefines simple usage to be redistribution

This is an incorrect interpretation of AGPLv3. AGPLv3 only requires that you provide corresponding sources if you have modified your copy of a program, and you make it accessible to users over a network. Aside from this one provision, AGPLv3 is the same as GPLv3. From the text of the license:

> [...] if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version

That AGPLv3 explicitly states that allowing access to software through a network does not constitute "conveying", and so many of the requirements don't apply in that case. I would consider the above to be far beyond "simple usage" of a program.

> your users might end up using your software in ways that you don't support.

This appears to be a carried-forward error from your misinterpretation of AGPLv3. AGPLv3 doesn't restrict usage (no GPL license restricts usage). It adds restrictions for redistribution, and for allowing users to access modified versions of software over a computer network.

> In this regard I think FSF has derailed from its own spirit. [...] GPLv2 just demands for the source code [...] GPLv3 on the other hand extends that with extra clauses to prevent Tivoisation.

I used to feel the same way, but what caused me to change my mind is to ask why "Tivoisation" is bad and what the long-term rammifications could be of allowing such a practice. In short, the problem is that you have some software that you practically don't have the ability to change, even though you have the source code. The end result is that you will have a world of free software made effectively proprietary because you cannot exercise your freedom to change the software. That is why the FSF felt it was an issue.

Now, you may not agree with the scale of the issue, and feel that the FSF over-stepped the mark. But I don't agree that the FSF has derailed from its spirit -- the spirit of the FSF is to promote free software and to protect user freedom. Disallowing a mechanism to be used that stops users from exercising one of their freedoms is very much in keeping with their spirit.
We have a separate build cluster due to concerns about security and stability -- neither mounting the docker socket into a container nor docker-in-docker are comfortable solutions for our cluster managers. Having the ability to run container builds safely will be a huge benefit for my company.

We've looked into something like Bazel for its container builder, but that's a significant change that has to be made in every single project, most of which have perfectly fine build systems now.

And with all the FaaS systems which are continually building containers to host functions, this will be a godsend.
Welcome to Zucktown
Proper licensing of software is a technical requirement, if you want your software to be used. The technicalities of the law might be unneccessary complex, bizarre even in some cases, but thats how the law is. We programmers are not goint to change that. So, if you really don't care, just take the MIT license, which is about the simplest of the widely used licenses. With that license, anyone interested has a clear base to use your software. Unless of course, you don't intend to share your software for real in the first place.

Illegal Secrecy? The Prosecution of Phantom Secure
Whereas a lot of OA options exist, they are quite scattered. Some universities have preprint servers that are more or less maintained, with varying up times. There are multiple open access options you have to pay for, if your grant or institution has funding for it.

You usually have to apply, and spend countless hours getting permission to spend the money, fill in forms, etc. It's all just too complicated.

Academics don't have time, either to find where the OA content is, or how to access it, and nor do they have time to organise their content to end up open access. It's much better for academics if everything is in one place, and trivially accessible.

Journals should be paying sci-hub to maintain a single repository where all articles are accessible for everyone, trivially, then switch to a model where universities pay only for the services journals are actually providing (in some cases, from what I can tell, none).
The Next Russian Attack Will Be Far Worse Than Bots and Trolls
Sorry – Justin Bieber (Alex Goot, Against the Current, Kurt Schneider)
Probably this is a misunderstanding of the parent post. It might be useful to explain: AGPL does not forbid running a piece of software as a network service, of course you can do that. You must, however, provide the users with the source code to the software, and their data (upon request, you can even ask money for this service). With the source, you must include the right to redistribute the source further.

This is the same demand the GPL always demanded of users, however the advent of cloud software has enabled a sort of loophole in the sense that making software based on GPL software available for users through a web interface was not regulated and thus imposed no demands for source redistribution (same for other distribution "through the cloud", for instance, some companies do this using VNC, RDP or Citrix. There's also custom protocols). If outlook used the Exim mail service, for instance, you would be able to get the source for that service from Microsoft.

It also closes the RPC loophole. If you build a GPL piece of software into another piece, connect them up using some sort of RPC interface, in GPLv2 it is somewhat unclear whether this constitutes redistribution (and therefore requires full source) or not. In AGPL/GPLv3, there is no doubt: it does require source to the whole thing.
One big factor is that Facebook knew about the problem and lied about it for two years. It’s one thing to know that data is mined and another to learn that what should be a trusted third party is actively trying to keep you from learning about abuse.

Nmap 7.70 – Free Security Scanner: Better service and OS detection, 9 new N
There is no such thing as a "thread based OS". The statement simply doesn't make sense.

The concepts of processes and threads work just the same in Linux and Windows (and internally just map to the execution unit of the scheduler, together with resource mappings and privileges), and user-space expectations are similar for the two. The main difference is that fork() is not available on Windows, but fork() is a terrible idea anyway.

Fast spawn of processes isn't used for performance critical things on either OS, as process spawning is considered slow on Linux and entirely useless on Windows. Fast spawn of threads is also generally avoided, as even that is usually considered too slow.

Windows is slow at creating processes (and most other things involving the kernel) not because of differences in OS use-case, but simply due to performance apparently not being a priority for Microsoft.
I can't help but start a rant about Windows upon reading this.

One of my major complaints with Windows is that things just 'feel slow'. I have to wait very often. Opening an FTP location? Wait for 5 seconds, (and it also opens in a new window, leaving the old window open in an unusable state - very confusing). Starting a GUI? Wait for 5 seconds.

My laptop and raspberry pi at home both work a lot smoother than the hi-end (it's a brand new Dell XPS machine with 8 GB RAM - which I consider hi-end) laptop I have at work.

I still find it hard to comprehend that people are buying ridiculously overpowered Windows computers for tasks like browsing and document editing. Developers are at fault too - if it runs smoothly on your $1000+ machine with 32GB RAM, that does not mean that the average user will be able to even use it. Everyone and their mother is jumping at the sustainability hype, but at the same time developers assume that everyone buys a new computer and phone every other year, for the same tasks we've been doing for decades. Once you realize this it's hard to use a Windows system and not cringe at the mess of laggy/unresponsive GUI's.

So I just tried this, it's a very different proposition than normal HIBP, and much more useful to people like me who don't just have a single address and give that out everywhere.

HIBP reports that zero of my addresses have been pwned. Which is weird because those addresses include several that have been pwned in well known cases, and several more where there's no public "We had a data breach" type report but it's clear that somebody did in fact lose all my data.

That's pretty disappointing, it suggests HIBP doesn't have very much of the breach data that really matters, and so many unsophisticated users who get to the site are probably misled.

It's a better approximation than you can make with a normal camera, so its applications are even broader. Instead of a normal camera image which captures the position of focused light rays on a plane, this captures the position and direction of light rays as they move through a volume. Personally I would not call such a versatile instrument useless.
So I don't know much about licensing (and don't do any active decisions about it, I pretty much default to using MIT on a personal level) but doesn't "requires redistribution" restrict freedom here? Freedom for me would be "do what you want, but I don't give you any warranty" while AGPL would mean less freedom directly. Forcing people to redistribute the source, doesn't mean freedom to me.

Consumer tech corporations, do seem to end up with monopolies — and they'll fight, lobby, and pay (through acquisitions) to keep them. It's a complete red-herring to argue that they don't last forever since that's utterly irrelevant to the impact they can have while they are around.
