I would love to know the very specific definition of open source you are referring too. I believe there are multiple very specific definitions that are drastically different, from Stallman's "Free Software" to "Open Source" to "Creative Commons" and the flavors in-between. The proliferation of Open Source Licenses seems to suggest that it's not as clear as your myopic viewpoint suggests.

"The ability to produce derived works is a key attribute of open source." Where did you get that gem from?

"but what I'm looking for is a clear and legally enforceable license, which seems to still be missing." As far as I know the only OS License that has been deemed enforceable is GNU General Public License.

It's free software and the code is viewable, what's so hard to understand?
I would suspect that small cpu inside them is better at real time voice processing than you think.

So, let's take Pixelmator as an example. They easily bought me with their promise of a streamlined design and simple to use tools. Their demos looked so cool, that I've easily paid $40 (I think it was $40). Then, when I started using it, I realized it's missing some super-simple features (that people request on their forum) + it's not so stable, it freezes and crashes sometimes. (Also, can't remember the exact features that I was missing) So, now, even though I have a paid for Pixelmator, I still have to ask my wife to do simple edits in her Photoshop occasionally, which I hate using.

So, what I'm saying is that selling to me was not a problem at all, if only they could deliver a good product. I also used Sketch as an example of a product that works great: it's cheap, it probably misses tons of Corel Draw features, but it's simple, cheap, and perfectly serves needs of those, dealing with web/mobile design.

So, should there be a similar product for raster graphics and video?
Also, NI on the audio production market feels to me as up for disruption.
There’s a bunch of cases where a business should not delete data even if requested by a user; the biggie is crime/fraud prevention. However, if that data was later disclosed in a breach the company would be subject to penalties. The request for removal does count as rescinding consent, so you would no longer be able to do anything that required consent anyhow.

Data could be thought of as radioactive so long as it has a unique identifier. If you can aggregate your fraud detection data in some way to remove the pseudonymous/personal identifiers then you should. If you can’t, then your usecase needs to justify the risk of keeping that radioactive material around.

Watch out that your aggregates can’t be reverse engineered though. There’s a reasonableness test around how easy it would be to recompile a users profile etc. As technology advances things that were once unreasonable become reasonable think md5). I find it helpful to think of reasonableness being connected to the best 10 people you recently interviewed, or the actions of any competitor in the space. If a prosecutor can point to the competitor and ask why you didn’t do what they did, you need a very good reason to pass reasonableness.
I've used CS2 for many years, but the UI glitches with Windows 7/10 have gotten very annoying. I stumbled on Affinity a few weeks back and bought a $50 license after just a few hours of demoing it. It is very good. Much better IMHO than paint.NET and Gimp. There are a few features that I still really wish it would have, such as live export preview, to fine tune JPEG quality for web graphics.
TL;DR: "Others acknowledged Fred Yamamoto, a 1936 Palo Alto High School graduate held in a Japanese internment camp during World War II who later joined the U.S. Army, is an inspirational figure, but said a school named after him would just cause confusion among Asian-Americans (just because he has the same surname as the unrelated WW2 Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamato)... One parent said giving a school the Yamamoto surname is akin to naming a school with Jewish students after Adolf Hitler..."

Web title: "Palo Alto: Pearl Harbor memories stir parents to oppose school name change", but the Pearl Harbor reference is falsified clickbait; the objections have nothing to do with Pearl Harbor but instead stem from with I. Yamamoto's actions in the far East.
Other scenario: Waymo will beat out Uber no matter if slowed, so any deaths stopped by stopping Uber is better. In order for yours to be true, we have to believe that Uber is contributing to the future of self-driving tech. I think they will be perpetually playing catchup to Waymo until their bankruptcy.
Are you referencing typing something in the notes or actually scribbling something using a digital pen/pencil or finger? If you are referencing just typing things in, normally grep -rI "" * --color=auto may help (if you are using the newer grep) for a small dataset or find /path/to/data -type f -a -exec grep -H WHATAMILOOKINGFOR '{}' \; which I will normally just turn into an function I can run from any terminal. For larger searching I normally use Solr, Lucene, ElasticSearch, Kibana, Sphinx and other tools to give me more technical vision into what I am searching for and/or things relative to what I was thought I was searching for.

For things that I have taken pictures of or manually drawn I use OCR and other custom tech to convert it to computer friendly searchable information to be able to include it into my search queries and create a helper app for Windows, MacOS, Linux and Unix to search through my apps API to give me both the textual, graphical and meta data results that I can then filter down to what I am looking for.

If you need something to help get you started on OCR of any notes or documents you have I would recommend looking into Tesseract as a start if you are not interested in building your own OCR tools from scratch.

Radical Real Estate Ideas to Fix Our Broken Housing System
Forth is a concatenative language. Its REPL is pretty similar to a Lisp REPL. Everything in Forth is accessible and it's actually common practice to override the interpreter to implement DSLs.

Haven't spent any time looking at this, but 30 years ago I actually did quite a lot of programming in an object oriented Forth (3D star field animation system for the university's planetarium dome, on an Amiga with a bit of extra hardware). I really enjoyed it.
I'm definitely more worried about a FB speaker than an Apple, Amazon, or Google one. In that specific order.
Usability.gov; I found their take & format on use cases useful:

It's extremely good. I've been using it for a few years now in multiple locations and it's really incredibly powerful. Turn an old boiler into a smart furnace with a $5 MCU and a relay? Done. Full security system with email notifications containing snapshots from your webcam? Done. Turn old IR remote control into a full-house controller with a $1 IR receiver? Done. Man I love home-assistant.
For video editing could add Blender. There are alternatives for both casual use and professional users who are willing to put up with less fit and finish.

On Mac quite a few people use Final Cut.

Davinci Resolve is also getting better over time. Some people say it's already good enough for them to use daily, I think it's too buggy.
Not going to lie. The first thing I checked in this site was for yours. You made the cut for the 1 year timespan. Congrats!
In the tech bubble I'm pretty sure there were at least a couple frauds.
Lest we forget https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop

Though TBF Adobe subsequently wrote many times more than the original.

Also, macromedia bought altsys, so that one's a transitive acquisition.
Photoshop is feature-complete, and the features are implemented well. For example, compare the speed of applying a 200px-radius Gaussian blur in Photoshop vs. Gimp.

To make an analogy with more hands-on trades: buying Photoshop is like getting the entire Snap-On tool catalog for $500. Buying Pixelmator is like getting 1/4 of the Craftsman tool catalog for $50. If you can spare the extra $450, you get a lot for your money.

Professional mechanics spend $xx,000 on Snap-On tools because they can justify the cost. Most DIY mechanics buy cheaper tools. But if the Snap-On tools only cost $500, why not get the best?

(edit: GIMP is like getting the entire Harbor Freight tool catalog for free.)

Also, most instructional material for image editing assumes Photoshop.
Agreed, if you don’t want them to have data on you the best case is to never use anything FB owned, including Instagram and WhatsApp.

If you already use FB services, stop using them and don’t give anymore data. They will still know about you, but at least you won’t give them any new information.

Ask HN: Should/is Uber providing grief counseling for self-driving engineers?
> I believe the pedestrian caused this situation by putting themselves in a dangerous situation and not paying attention

That's the thing - every driver has faced those situations, hundreds, thousands of times. Odds are very good a failure one of those times would have significant penalty for any driver, even if it wasn't their fault.
> Where did you get that gem from?

From the open source definition: https://opensource.org/osd

> As far as I know the only OS License that has been deemed enforceable is GNU General Public License.

The OSI recognizes a number of different licenses, as do the attorneys of the numerous individuals and companies making use of them.

> It's free software

It's not, unless I have a legal right to redistribute a modified copy.

"Open source" and "free software" both have requirements to meet their respective definitions. And additonally, "source is viewable" is not the same thing as a license.
Ask HN: Is there any standalone RocksDB server?
Having non existing C++ knowledge. I am looking for RocksDB server which can be consumed just like Redis.
This. Plus network effects. Once you have people sharing files in Photoshop, Indesign and AE formats, everyone who's working with you has to adopt Adobe as well.

GIMP proves that it's possible to build a competing product that has all the features, but doesn't come with the same ease-of-use or shortcuts or support for proprietary file formats. Which means slow adoption, and ensures that it's hard to compete with Adobe in this field.
Looks like TSLA dropped nearly 10% today (including after hours).
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA?p=TSLA

With the Uber accident, I think the public is going to be very wary about over-hyped self driving claims. Tesla is a big offender in that regards where the marketing is that its collision avoidance and lane assistance technology is "Autopilot".
Inventory software
Edit: Thinking about it, I realise it's actually a lot closer to Smalltalk than to Lisp -- you have a built in editor, you build memory images that you constantly work with, all the code is decompilable so you can refactor easily, etc, etc

Actual edit: you'd think I could find the edit button :-P
The "human safety driver" concept is inherently flawed and is incompatible with the way our minds are wired. You cannot have a person sitting still in bored inaction for hundreds of hours in a row and expect them to remain attentive enough for a split second reaction in an emergency situation.

So yes, I am discounting the safety driver entirely. Autonomous cars need to drive themselves safely. That person was in the driver's seat as a scapegoat in reserve.

Final Cut is like $300 - a price of a new GoPro.
Btw, I think that GoPro could be a great company to compete in the video-editing market. They already have a wide audience, and they just have to make their Quick editor more feature rich, while keeping it simple enough for average user. They also have money and are in desperate need of settling on a software market...
> It's an unpopular opinion, but I believe the pedestrian caused this situation by putting themselves in a dangerous situation

Interesting! What reasons do you have to think this is an unpopular opinion? To me, it sounds like an obvious conclusion.
Want to reiterate how great Canva is, and my anecdotal evidence that a TON of bloggers and people around the web use it.
Agree, Apple had the least incentive to monetize your data. Amazon will use your data to sell stuff, but they probably not going to share that to others. Google and FB are all advertising companies that they relies on reselling your data for targeting, with FB being the more aggressive one for you know, growth.
So 120x to justify their current stock price.

Do people really think that Tesla will grow 120x larger with 100% probability? Or 240x larger with 50% possibility? That seems irrational to me.

As right you are, strange times call for stranger measures. I would post this in the relevant IRC, but he's unresponsive and seems to be neglecting his duties, once again fallen victim to shitpost mania.

If one more incident happens like this within another week, it will be an epidemic and self-driving cars are finished.

It’s getting attention because Uber are a known for cutting corners, and it’s very likely their shitty code killed a person.

You don’t get to hand wave away a death with the justification that the tech is better “on average”. The tech gets a pass when they demonstrate that they took reasonable steps to protect the public.

That means not shipping half baked product with crossed fingers so they can try and increase their stock price.
Hard to fill jobs are associated with elevated employee benefits.

I see tons of ageism, across many industries.

Those same ageists will kowtow to anyone that can fit the role they're trying to fill.
How could you possibly know if the mistake was reasonable?
People put themselves in dangerous situations all the time. I don't believe for one second that you've never made a traffic mistake in your life, either as a pedestrian or as a driver. But you've been fortunate to be surrounded by others who'll pick up the slack for your mistake and will yield even if they don't have to if it will prevent an accident. The traffic rules don't matter nearly as much as the outcome of people not being killed. Traffic rules are just a means to an end.

So yes, it's quite possible for autonomous vehicles to cause vastly more deaths than human drivers even while being slaves to the rules. Hell, you could do it too as a human driver if you removed your conscience. Just don't hit the brakes the next time you have the right of way and a jaywalker steps out in front of you. You'll easily kill someone within a week and have it be their "fault".
My read is that this will be great for commercial applications (e.g. welding, lighting), but a weapon that doesn't work in a smokey/foggy environment is going to be fairly easy to circumvent. Environments where something is being hit with a high power laser tend to end up being smokey/foggy.

That won't make it useless, but it will definitely reduce utility and adoption. 100kW really is not that much, unless you can focus it to a fairly small diameter, which just is not possible at long distances.

My personal favorite for a "ray gun", and far more difficult to make work, is the Laser-Induced Plasma Channel.
Me too, only with running. It's a great way to force yourself to take time for meditation, reflection and processing the days events. For me it's my time, time in which clients, other folks in my life are set aside and I can think for myself. Plus it's a way to progress, have something to be proud if even if client work, or other aspects of life aren't.
NCC gets paid to do security audits, and getting paid puts their (very high) professional reputation on the line.

I'll admit I'm biased: I worked a bit with Zooko and Nathan (Wilcox), pre-Zcash, on some other security audits. My experience was that making the client look good is really not a consideration. Phrase your findings neutrally and informatively, yes; but you earn your rep by being as creatively nasty as you can at breaching the system.

Not to argue against evaluating claims skeptically -- just to state my most important disagreement.
yeah, if you have a DS, go with the Chrono Trigger port. I can't speak to iOS, but I tried some Final Fantasy port and gave up because I hated the controls. The PC version, I have a 3440x1440 screen, it renders as a regular 1440p screen in full screen and the tiles are nauseating. The only resolution that looks okay is 800x600.
> these things are less dangerous than smartphones

They're also orthogonal to smartphones.

> why do you think they aren't lying about what their mobile OSes or apps are doing?

Why do you think everybody thinks that? And why frame it that way from the get go, to what the companies themselves are doing today, and/or to what the widgets do in isolation? It's another vector of attack for all sorts of actors, present and future, including the companies themselves.

> All that said, I believe Apple, Amazon, and Google all have worlds more trust in this area than Facebook.

They're not the baseline, the baseline is none of these devices. And for me, those all have worlds less trust than entities I trust, and the difference between them and Facebook is pretty much irrelevant in the big picture.
This is much easier than the proxy option we used to need to go through!
Right, but what about those "indie" content creators, popping up everywhere these days: YouTubers, Instagrammers, independent musicians and clip-makers, poor startup founders, needing to create a 1-minute marketing video twice a year... All those, I think, would spare $50-$100 for a good piece of software but not more than that. And if someone would analyze how they use professional products, I'm sure, it would converge to some stable ~30% subset of features big products offer
Wow, thanks a lot for this. It's definitely helpful, especially the link to the comparison which has a lot of resources and examples.

True. Cutting out meat was a red herring. I need to eat more vegetables and fruits.

Honestly, my biggest concern is not losing weight at this point just being healthier.
> Counterintuitively, it is the most ethical choice to continue to accelerate self driving car development even if it is sometimes conducted in an unsafe manner.

However, conducting self-driving car development in an unsafe manner is a good way of making people oppose self-driving cars, which leads to development of self-driving technology taking longer.
You can get FCP10 for $15 on ebay(although the installation is a little sketchy). It is what I use on my non network connected Mac.
While I don't disagree that continued bad press could set back consumer confidence in this new technology, I think the wheels are already in motion - self driving vehicles (in some form) are coming, like it or not.
This can be used against them by updating uncompressible guassian white noise over and over... If what you said is true.

There were dozens of statistical deaths caused by all that increased particulate pollution. Air pollution is not harmless and it does reduce people's lifespans.
> I was also looking for a simple software to stitch together my GoPro videos but was left out with either free iMovie/Quick, which are too basic or a super-expensive Premiere.

It sounds like your real question is, why isn't anyone making free or inexpensive tools with features like Premiere, so I don't have to pay for it? That's the problem -- everybody wants nice software but nobody's willing to pay what it would actually cost to write it.
Some of my college’s websites (dining services, course catalog). With an API, my senior project would be so much easier. Unfortunately, I had to scape the information needed which isn’t ideal.
Bundler != compiler. With caching my babel webpack setup has 30s cold startup and <1s compile and reload for a huge huge code base

Edit: I should say bundler != tranpiler. A bundler may or may not be implemented as a compiler. In the end it's just fancy concatenation and code generation, whereas a transpiler (going from one language to another) requires parsing to an AST
Charles can already be used as an http/https proxy on iPhone via https://www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/faqs/using-charle...

I generally would only be needing to inspect requests when developing at my workstation, so how is this native app providing additional value beyond what the Charles Mac software already provides?

Big fan of Charles over here, I just don't understand the use case for the native app.
Clearly those who use roads should pay for them. If not by gas taxes, then by mileage.

By the time most vehicles are electric, those mileage fees will get paid by the ride sharing companies that operate the high-mileage self-drive electric vehicles.
OpenSource.org doesn't own the definition of "Open Source." It's a concept and idea interpreted and implemented by lots of people in different ways meaning different things.

No one gets to "own" what open source means.

But, in their definition: "The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software."

All that says is that derived works are allowed under the same terms as the original software, which technically could enforce a royalty payment to the original for any derivative, how would that sit with you?

You're conflating community and cultural definitions with legal precedents and enforceability. GNU GPL is the only enforceable one in a US (and I think UK) court of law.

In the end of the day, what's the argument - you want the software creator to use a LICENSE you approve of or else not call their software release "free" or "open" because you feel that misleading?
How do you know you've changed the future if you don't know what would be the future?
