Your comment says that nothing in academic CS would allow for such a study. Clearly HCI does. It has not yet achieved Engelbart's vision, and it might not be trying to anyway, but it's clearly a framework that cares about how humans can and should use machines, not simply math.

> And Microsoft is all-in on open source.

No you're not, you liars. Until the day that Windows and Office and all that is open source you can't say anything of the sort.
I think it's absurdly unrealistic to expect people to do in-depth due diligence on all of the services they use. Modern society requires us to trust innumerable service providers and their dependencies to enable so much of the convenience we take for granted. What little knowledge we do have about abuse comes from the accountability of these companies to regulators like the FTC and FCC.

Realistically, I think we have three choices:

- We can't have nice things.

- Rampant exploitation of individuals, due to vast asymmetry of information.

- Regulation, with its costs and inefficiencies.

But I think there's very little precedent of real accountability deriving from collective consumer action, even in cases of overt abuse (think Wells Fargo).
Same goes for Baltimore with mountains(Shenadoah, VA or mountains in central PA), beaches (MD, DE or NJ) and amusement parks all within 2 to 3 hour drive. Friends and I last weekend went hiking in PA (loop trail with 25 mid to large size waterfalls - Ricketts Glen) and after went to amusement park in the woods (Knoebels) for a few hours.

Cool you like the west .. it's just too expensive and socialistic for me. Independent voter here.
Is this a free format? I mean an open standard without patents and copyright restrictions?
There's so much unanswered here, does it handle parametric polymorphism? Does it allow sum/product types? Is there inference? Can you bound generic types?

IMO it would be a complete waste of time to add a type system that only prevented the most trivial of type errors: mismatching Integer and String.
I am really annoyed by services that do not let me control which events give me notifications, and how those notifications reach me (in app, push, email).
They don't even seem to change. It's all just like a small group of "influencers" posting the same shit constantly. This is why social media is slowly making itself irrelevant. I just wish we humans had the self control to stop doing it once we realized it's not adding value.
Why not go one step further and get rid of internet at home? I've been doing so since April and it's dramatically reduced my time spent on social media or watching TV/movies. Instead of binging TV I go out and do something.
Not just the UK, this happens in the US also.

If banks are accumulating wealth, which may very well be our reality, then this wealth would be reflected in the equity value of the bank itself. Thus, this wealth would still be reflected in the wealth of private households who had ownership in the bank. This would apply even if the banks were international, since the owners could still be citizens of the UK.
And if I remember correctly, YAML is a superset of JSON.
> Both versions have their sources published on GitLab with the former having an MIT license and the latter a proprietary one which requires a paid subscription with GitLab.

So, it is open source? Doesn't this fall under the adage of "free as in free speech, not as in free beer?"
If I got it right, this is a container format as an uncompressed ZIP archive. What is its advantage over zipped X3D, STL, DAE files?
It is my firm belief that in maximum 10 years we will have number one hit songs completely produced end-to-end by a neural network - instrumental, lyrics, vocals, mixing.

> Our results present abilities that are, as far as we know, unheard of.

Look, I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed with the ridiculous level of salesmanship that authors now feel is necessary to get a paper into NIPS. I can only hope the reviewers might ask the researchers to tone back the crazy hype pitch, but I know better than to expect that.

Presenting things that were previously unheard of... well, that would be what scientific papers are for, aren't they?
But you get to experience their horrendous design! Isn't it great how the final paragraph is harder to read because the page removes the contrast? Or how, when you scroll a little too far, the old page disappears completely?
Sure, if we elect Hitler next year we're all fucked.

I'm not sure how that's an argument against GDPR today, especially since it's built on long standing EU traditions and law.
DNSSEC doesn't do any of what DoH does. It doesn't provide query privacy. It doesn't even typically protect the last mile between end-user resolvers and servers; it's a server-to-server protocol. I'm deeply skeptical (to put it nicely) about DNSSEC, but you don't even have to share that perspective to see why DoH is useful --- it covers a set of problems DNSSEC simply doesn't address.

DNSCrypt is a niche protocol that basically does do what DoH does. Very few people use it. You can use it instead of DoH, if you like; just disable DoH in Firefox and set up DNSCrypt with your system resolver.
I'd note that the original patents on Roundup Ready crops have expired, and people have now produced patent- and license-free varieties.

I know the software world has a strongly negative view of patents, because of their abuse within it, and I don't personally have the expertise to know whether GMO-patents make sense, but from the outside this kind of seems like a textbook case of how patents are supposed to work?

Someone makes something new (glyphosate-resistant crops) and is granted a limited monopoly in exchange for making their methods public, and after a short period, their methods go into the public domain. This limited monopoly yields a profit that encourages further research and development.

This doesn't seem like copyrights, which are effectively permanent monopolies, or software patents, which are granted for relatively un-novel "inventions" or behaviors, and then used against people who independently re-invent a similar method or behavior.
No shit. Extra bonus if it has any usable topsoil left...

> google gets praised

None of the things you list are things Google is praised for.
It's more likely because of Pixar's longstanding practice of keeping its core technologies openly available (Blender is rife with technologies originally developed by Pixar gurus, not the least of which is RenderMan). Disney may be a huge company but Pixar is the only part of it that has ever won an Academy Awards (it has about ten as I remember) except for a single award for Beauty and the Beast. A Pixar guru also runs both Pixar and the entire Disney Animation Studio. Jobs never had a reputation of being generous with patents. It's also just a smart move in general, people are tired of application-restricted file formats in this field.
the enterprise version is not opened source? big deal. gotta support free software somehow and that is a respectable way.
While this is probably (hopefully) an exaggeration, I think you're dead right. The downvotes seem reflective of a delusion in the tech community that we will find a technological solution to any and all of the global problems we are likely to face soon. I wish people were more concerned about this.
And how much of GitHub is Open???
Yes, let's have fewer choices for everything! That is sure to spur innovation!
Same here. And I had the exact same reaction. a.) Good, I have been gone long enough for them to take notice. b.) How sad is the state of current engagement. You have to resort to sending me emails about my 2 friends "Joe commented on Sara's wall" click here to see what he said. How sad. You could provide utility, instead, you choose to pimp me out for a click.

From a marketers standpoint its an easy sell. We increased users CTR and time on site, wahoo! From a business standpoint, there is a slow churn and dissatisfaction which erodes the value created until the user has a negative viewpoint and distrust of the service.
or maybe some sort of "markup" that merely needs to be rendered without running any accessory program code?

Can you go into any more specifics? I'm genuinely interested! Do you think it'll stay true as Elm matures?
But in fact, copyright is the cancer. There is no way to disable copyright. Even if you put something in the public domain, copyright will reattach itself and future users can be legally denied full access to it. Copyleft is the cure for copyright. It's the only cure we know.
It is open source though: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/

Open source doesn't mean you can't charge for your work.
Sounds like they were referring to GPL (and similar), not OSS in general.
Think about all the extra room room you'd have for old computers if you didn't have said girlfriend.

That's why I'm single and have a lot of old computers. Not sure if they're related though.
It was founded on Enlightenment principles, some of which are deliberately conflated with Judeo-Christian principles, but are actually quite distinct.
That's not relevant to the discussion of whether or not GitLab is open source.
Which would mean that a baker cannot discriminate against "who ever they feel like" as GP said.
well there are thousands of users and repositories instead of millions, but I think they are still relevant.
Electron is open-source under an MIT license.

If Microsoft can do things now with Electron that it couldn't before, there's arguably something wrong with the project.
But that analogy is letting someone access the filing cabinet, and not taking reasonable precautions not to. Which would be a direct violation. Which may or may not be the case here.
Usually when people speak about open source, they include not only not being able to view the source, but also the possibility to modify, distribute and use it (and modified versions) in the requirements for a license to be labeled an open source license.
Submitted an issue to dear-github. "Host Github by itself as open source project" https://github.com/dear-github/dear-github/issues/304

Issue body:
Microsoft open sourced Xamarin after acquisition and it was good for community. Open sourcing Github source will benefit open source community. Github was not open source for its own reason and it could be same reason why Xamarin was not. Now that Github acquired by Microsoft, would this event be an opportunity to re-consider the reason?
“But the terms of service were on display...”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'.”
BSON is another format that's "binary JSON with blobs and datetimes". It's notably used a lot in MongoDB, but I'm not sure how these three formats compare.
Even if every last byte of Gitlab and the bits behind it aren't OSS, it is lightyears ahead of GitHub in terms of source availability. And while I suspect the gap will only grow, I'd love for Microsoft to make me wrong.

> Furthermore, the free version running on GitLab.com is the Enterprise Edition. This means that if you wish to move from their hosted service to your own one, you would be losing several features and would even have to pay to import your projects based on the above list.

Just because GitLab.com runs EE doesn't mean all EE features are made available to all users. Most if not all EE-only features are behind a paywall on GitLab.com; you still have to pay to use them even if you don't self-host.

You coat carbon steel with diamond nano particle to give it nice hardness. They already do that on machine tool cutters. Same process also used for TiN or similar hard coating. I think unfavorable production price being the reason for it not being consumer product.
You can see .NET bytecode since version .NET was in beta with ildasm, distributed with .NET SDK tooling.

ILSpy and Reflector are almost as old as .NET itself.

Visual Studio always had an Assembly view since version 1.0, and there is always WinDbg as alternative, including macro commands to dump .NET JIT information.

Sorry, but it looks like that you haven't properly explored Windows development.

Please don't confuse Open Source and Free Software. Open Source' ideals are not "free as in free speech, not as in free beer?". That is something of Free Software. Open Source does not care about the Free Software ideals. Except for that one thing, that source code shall be available.

That seems like an impossible hypothetical, really. People will always have relatives and friends of all sexes so there's no way to stop people of one sex from benefiting from the health of the others.
Open source doesn't just mean that the source is publicly available, either, though. This definitely isn't an open source license: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/blob/master/LICENSE
Without dignifying the argument that DNS doesn't benefit from confidentiality and needs only integrity, DNSSEC doesn't even reliably provide that. The vast, overwhelming majority of zones aren't signed, and because DNSSEC is a failing protocol, probably never will be signed. On the rare occasions when a popular zone is signed, the user experience is awful: unlike with TLS, where an expired record generates an obnoxious popup, with DNSSEC they fall entirely off the Internet --- which happened to HBO Now the week they launched it across all of Comcast.

DoH provides confidentiality and query integrity now, without requiring a boil-the-ocean step where every DNS administrator on the Internet signs their records.
Agreed, distributing USD assets with a 3D application is akin to distributing Photoshop PSD images with a 2D application.

(that's not a perfect analogy since USD is open and PSD isn't, but "open PSD" would still be a terrible runtime format)

Louis Vitton does not have a monopoly on purses. Nevertheless, it's marketing efforts (along with Gucci, and the others) has created the perception that purses are a luxury good.

Ditto with diamonds. DeBeers associated this relatively common gem with luxury.

From that point, the economics are driven by women. A woman does not want a cheap purse. A fiancée does not want a cheap diamond. The quality is irrelevant. What matters is how much the guy sacrificed for her.

Sort of silly and irrational. But, it's true.
I cannot disagree more. The open source core is very featureful for its price, it's easy enough to host on premise and UX is very good.

Granted, the paid version has some nice features and there were some problems in the past when people wanted to integrate features found in the paid version to the open core but that's the price of living in current times. Money is still needed to create and maintain something.

Maybe one day when we start living in a Star Trek society.
You know, that's actually a damn good question.
How do you prove that Bob leaked the information? How do you prove that Abe told Bob? How do you prove that FB was the source of information to Abe? How do you demonstrate that FB, Abe, and Bob did not take all good faith efforts to keep the information secure?

> Nokia forgot its USP, which was basically durable rugged hardware. Instead they tried to compete with the iPhone in the software department, it didn't work out too well.

You misremember things quite badly. Nokia was the clear leader in all phone segments, smartphones included. At the peak they sold just over 50% of all smartphones in the world. Of course they would try to hold on to that. They were better in software than their hardware competitors (Ericsson/RIM/etc), but of course that didn't amount to much when the field was upended by Google and Apple.

> Motorola is doing quite good with Android.

Motorola is now a Lenovo brand.
It doesn't come even close to that. There are works that attempt to tackle this issue, if your interested I would look at those
Meteor 1.7 and the evergreen dream
Apple previews iOS 12
Projects that follow the "open core" model bother me when they gate useful features behind their paid version like Gitlab does. My organization would benefit from the "Rebase merge requests before merge" and "Use fast-forward merges when possible" features quite a bit, and we are an in educational environment with lots of volunteers so using the Enterprise edition isn't viable at all. These features aren't technically difficult to implement, but even if we wrote open source versions of them we'd have to carry our own internal fork of Gitlab since there is no chance upstream would accept them since they've already decided they don't /want/ those features in the "community" edition.
Whoa, those are some pretty big features I assumed were "core".Static pages, fast-forward merges, Git hooks - aren't these core reasons to use a git website instead of just git+remote
I agree with the concern around too many things depending on Github for real time builds and deployment.

In regards to MITM, that can happen regardless of who maintains the repositories. If an NSL is issued, compliance is mandatory. A gag order is included. AFAIK there are no large organizations that would fall on that sword.

It is on the individual organizations that utilize public resources to do proper certificate and checksum validation, along with code diff reviews to reduce the risk of tainted packages.

Considering that surgery can cost close to that and isn't a full cure, CAR-T is not that expensive relatively speaking.
Not really sure I understand what the point is here... Disclosure of personal information to third-parties under NDAs and that type of contract is normal business practice, banks and health providers do it all the time (with much more sensitive data than what you typically find on Facebook). So as a society we are fine to use contracts and share this information.

Do you think that Facebook's data is more important than the information banks/health providers share and should not be shared even if proper contracts for its use are in place?

How do you come to the idea that having more Java devices available, even if not 100% compatible, would have in any way caused harm to Sun? And then even that much that it killed the company?

On top of that, I don't see for what google would have had an obligation to pay.

Contradiction: Google broke some imaginary copyright by re-implementing APIs, but Google is bad because the re-implementation was not 100% equal to the original causing fragmentation. Either the fragmentation was harmful, then the API copyright was the problem. Or the API copyright violation was the problem, then fragmentation was the explicit goal and Google's try to minimize it the problem. Both can't be true at the same time outside lawyer lala land.
Exactly. For instance Windows source code has been "open source" for about 18 years or so via a license anyone can request. This is still not what most people think of when speaking about open source though.

> Electron is open-source under an MIT license.

It's not the license at issue, it's the copyright which allows MS to change the license.

Yes, developers could fork the project, but that seems premature at this point.

What will probably is that MS will make optimizations for VS Code to run even better and then make those optimizations open for everyone.
Host Your Own Private Git Repos
Yes, beacuse they we're losing out as web development exploded, and realized no one wanted to pay for an editor when there we so many great free alternatives. They did it out of necessity, not out of innovation. Just like everything they do when it comes to their "open source movement"
