This is an amazing thing to do, but I have one concern.

My straight reading of the new license file makes me that, assuming I am not related to any of the entities listed (or their subsidiaries), then the license I am bound by is the license titled "MIT License".

I bring that up, because the MIT License says I need to preserve only the copyright notice (the first line of the file, as per https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ03.pdf), and "this permission notice". I could see someone arguing that "this permission notice" begins where it says "MIT License".

The annoying thing is, I don't have an explicit definition for "permission notice" (for example, I searched on https://dictionary.findlaw.com but didn't find anything). I could devils-advocate argue that the 'permission notice' starts where it says "MIT License".

Taking that argument, if I _really_ wanted to get this to one of the entities listed, I would make a new distribution of the software, consisting of just the copyright statement and MIT License, which I would then distribute to the entity.

Yeah, it's definitely a reach, I'm just bringing this up to say that craft people who wanted to may find an opening to exploit here, so some fine-tuning may be warranted!

P.S. I'm also a little concerned about replacing "2015-2017" with "2015-present", partially because 'present' isn't a year, and partially because, when development stops (as all things in time eventually become dormant), this could be viewed (especially when looked at in isolation) as an attempt at overreach.
What about inter device sync?
> when 3000lbs pickups are zooming past you

Apparently a Honda Accord 2018 weighs more than 3,000 lbs (up to 3,428).

Also, and somewhat surprising given the above, you can buy a Ford F-150 that weighs just 4,000 lbs
Men are arrested hundreds of times more than women. Is the justice system sexist, too?
I'd assume posts made with the API would exist still on Twitter.
I always found that while I could probably spend 6-8 months studying to try to land a job at one of the big tech companies to do RE/security research/malware analysis or whatever you want related to that, I usually got more interested in reverse engineering something new and quickly got bored reviewing the details of binary search trees.

Limits jobs at the big 4/5 as nearly every job that involves security research/RE will inevitably still have the standard leetcode algorithms whiteboard interview, but there's plenty of other stuff out there if you're willing to put together a decent portfolio. The few exceptions to that are being so famous you can make it to recognized teams, but that isn't a realistic goal for most engineers.

If there's a company you really, really want to work for, you can responsibly disclose something to them and at least get an in-person. Skip the phone algorithms test and go right to the whiteboard! Heck yeah.
This is such a helpful addition that will help avoid so much downtime. Thank you to the Postgres contributors who made it possible.
> Go's designers were long-time C users (longer than anyone else in the world, in fact); they had every reason to stick with the way things worked in C, but they deliberately chose to make Go different.

Most criticisms of Go don't come from C perspective, though.
It's only worse as a product if it hurts advertisers. The user isn't the customer.
In some dependently typed languages they can be easily implemented via refinement types, where the “refinements” are the implementations of the typeclass requirements. Idris is a good example of this approach.

It has the advantage of making typeclasses first-class, and of enabling a lot of additional functionality without additional fundamental constructs. It is however very antithetical to what someone means when they say Go is minimalistic.
If that were the case, then why bother having bail hearings? Just set bail uniformly to some high number like $1M, payable only through a bail bond agency, and let those agents bid on how much premium to charge. Credible people would pay market rate for a collateralized or uncollateralized personal loan, because that's what they could have gotten from a bank in the first place. Oh right, poor people can't get loans.

You see, the problem isn't the estimation of non-appearance risk, it's that poor people are inherently more financially risky, so they get charged more for the same loan. But financial risk isn't the same as non-appearance risk. Financializing the court-appearance guarantee is imposing the cost of financial risk on some people for no reason, by demanding that they get a loan.
But for how many years is unpowered data integrity guaranteed for modern enterprise flash storage? Magnetic media excels at archival. In fact, plain old paper does, too, provided it's stored properly. I bring this up only because storage doesn't necessarily require on-demand retrieval, and so flash storage may not be much use in those cases.
Strange to find that even in a enlightened place like HN, there abound much support for continued usage of archaic imperial units.

As I see it, since the vast majority of the world is using metric/SI units it behooves the US to change sooner or later.

I think tech/silicon valley should be using their influence with Washington to lobby for these changes. We should be asking each of the presidential candidates in elections what is their stand on this. IIRC, Bernie Sanders had promised that he would take US to metric system if elected.
I and many others I know post tweets and have them cross posted to Facebook. They get relatively little attention on Twitter, the likes and comments from friends on Facebook was what made them meaningful. Those likes and comments are gone now. It feels sort of like Facebook came and ripped pages out of my diary.
whoo doggy...

https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commit/16828d5c0273b4fe...

that was a lot of places to have to patch to make this happen!
You nailed it! I've been trying to explain this to friends, now I'll just point them here.
I cannot recall an instance of ever discovering something I wanted, through any advertising, except in these exceptions:

- Game recommendations on Steam and other platforms.

- Highlighted apps on the App Store.

- Before the internet, games and apps in magazines.

Everything else that I have ever spent money on, I have discovered through word of mouth (including places like Reddit or HN), searched for it myself, seen it incidentally in the wild (e.g. hearing a song outside or seeing someone using something) or when browsing shops and stores in person.

How often do other people here remember buying something they saw in an ad (that they didn't already know of)?
Hi, ex-CEO of Surety here. The article is not very technical so I can see where you might assume this is not a true blockchain. However, the hash value published in the Times was, in fact, dependent upon every single hash value for every digital "document" ever submitted to the Digital Notary Service.

A Digital Notary client application would submit a hash value (which in the early days was a combination of MD5 and SHA-1 but the system was very flexible in that it could upgrade the hash algos when more collision resistant versions became available) that would become part of a Merkle tree along with any other client submissions received in a short timeframe. The parent "top hash" node of the Merkle tree was then hashed with the the last value in a linked list referred to internally as the "super hash" chain to create a new end value in the chain.

The client application would receive a notary "certificate" containing all the values in the Merkle tree required to re-calculate the hash woven into the super hash chain along with the timestamp for the moment it became part of the chain. The client application could use this certificate at any time to electronically verify the veracity of any "document" (i.e., guarantee that the document existed in its exact form at a specific point in time.)

On a side note, the algorithms and implementation were successfully tested in court cases. (Some of Surety's customers used the system to timestamp millions of documents turned over in electronic legal discovery to ensure they were not tampered with by opposing counsel.)

The New York Times value was only significant in that if could be used to "manually" calculate the veracity of the notary certificate by hashing the super hash value it contained with all subsequent values in the super hash chain until it resulted in the hash value published in the Times. This "widely witnessed" approach made it impossible for an insider to collude with someone to generate a correct notary certificate retroactively by replacing the document with a forgery.

The blockchain technology used by crypto currencies is similar except for the tremendous amount of computation required to generate a "correct" hash value to close out a block and weave it into the chain.

Stuart Haber and Scott Stornetta deserve a lot of credit for creating this when were working for Bellcore. Two brilliant guys.
200ms is faster than the 300ms cast time of Axe's call and Tidehunter's ravage. Pros almost never react fast enough to blink/euls dodge those skills (0s cast time for blink/euls, 200ms reaction time gives the bots a 100ms window to respond). The bots dodged those skills every time. That was the only initiation option available in that draft until late game and the bots were more or less immune to it. That's a pretty significant mechanical advantage.
What? No. Politics has no bearing on any number of technical discussions. Why should I consider liberal/conservative ideology when deciding if the CFoo should inherit from CBar.
Does this understanding of American conservatism not describe effective points for voter galvanization? In other words, it's an operational definition in tune with American voter behavior. One might point to the rallying cry for a US Constitutional ban to gay marriage, during the Bush presidential candidacy.

Did that not serve to rally the American conservative base? Is Alex Jones not representative of effective (meaning the kind that wins elections) conservatism? Isn't Alex Jones, perhaps the #1 most popular media personality of today, being censored part of the reason why people are concerned?
At the very least they're completely breaking the social contract they have with their users. Users post their data, they get the service, in return for Facebook making money off of that data. If Facebook decides to stop providing a service that keeps people on Facebook, Facebook will stop getting the data.

Users paid for the service with their data, which Facebook can turn into money. The idea that users don't "pay" for Facebook ignores what Facebook does.
They're not really banning eating such meals - they simply don't want to cover their costs. I don't really see the issue personally. There are many things companies don't want to cover which they get to decide on.
Thanks for your work Marijn! I've never developed with CodeMirror before but have used it in IPython notebooks.

I'm sure there are multiple ways open source projects can raise money but one idea I'm fond of is a paid "course". Basically this amounts to a couple hour tutorial. It helps gain users and present a deeper insight into the project while generating income.
I would have killed to swap my 60-90min bus journey for your bike ride... and yes I regularly cycled for leisure in the conditions you mentioned. That said I know not everyone is a glutton for that kind of suffering which is why I am hopeful electric bikes will take off in a big way. The electric assist will make the wind (and hills) a non-issue and then you can just cruise anywhere if you dress right. If electric bikes replace cars for most daily journeys the world would be a much more enjoyable place to exist in.
Have you ever used a $50 Android tablet?
Those sorts of tablets are almost completely unusable.

Honestly, to build for 20 uses means using no metal. Or maybe duct tape and tin foil at best.

But is such casual cycling something uniquely Dutch? How is it different from the cycling culture in China, Vietnam, India or much of the third world?
I have friends who are FB employees and make almost all of their postings via tweets.

And then there's often FB-based discussion about them.
This is exactly what the media corporations want. This is not an oversight. Facebook, Comcast, Disney, Google, etc will control information and as a result the general public's thoughts in due time.
All of the talk about reform or making government more efficient is baloney. As is this idea that there is a "deep institutional inefficiency" that permeates government. It's a shell game to distract voters and a wedge issue used to divide the electorate. The reason republicans pitch efficiency is that they want to cut taxes or re-appropriate tax revenues.

If you want to understand politics: Follow the money and then follow the votes.
They affect the language a lot in non-trivial applications. For example, you can't implement the same generic interface with different type parameters, even when it is perfectly meaningful: suppose we have an interface Convertible<T> that objects that can be converted to T should implement - why can't an object implement Convertible<int> and Convertible<string> at the same time?

Ditto with overloads - suppose you have a family of functions like frob() that apply to ints and doubles - so there's frob(int) and there's frob(double). So far, so good. Now, you want to add helpers to do the same for collection - and so there's frob(Iterable<int>) and frob(Iterable<double>)... except that doesn't work, because you can't overload on a generic interface, since the method signature has that information erased entirely.

And then, of course, it breaks Reflection. Which is not so common in application code, but has many valid uses in the libraries.
I'll add a few of my favourites:

* Women only achieved the federal vote in Switzerland in 1971, and the for local votes the last hold-out was forced to acquiesce by the Supreme Court only in 1991.

* There is no country in Europe with abortion laws as permissive as those in the United States (or Canada, but that's it's own strange case). Portugal didn't legalize abortion until 2007, and it is only available on-demand up until the 10th week. Abortion is still illegal in Ireland (in the process of reform after last May's referendum). In Germany abortion-on-demand is only legal in the first 12 weeks, and requires mandatory counselling with a 3-day waiting period.

* While no EU states practice the death penalty because it is a condition of membership, majorities in France, the Baltics, Czech Republic, and several Eastern European countries still [support it](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/55sze2/support_for...), and in the UK support was up around 70% less than a decade ago. Current support for the death penalty in the US has registered as between 49 and 55% in the last few years. Not totally out of line in terms of public opinion, though there are more states that have the death penalty in the US obviously.

* I was stunned to be in a German class in Berlin with students from several EU countries, most of them in their early 20s, and also be the only one present who had no problem with homosexual adoption, which was most stridently opposed by representatives of catholic countries. I was the only North American.
Both are true. You go to jail without a trial until your trial is done.
1 - don't have a good answer here

2 - a service like this doesn't rely on much fiber at all, outside of the point(s) where the mesh connects to the rest of the internet. Its almost all point-to-point wireless, with the points eventually converging back on the base stations at datacenters.

3 - the common term for this kind of facility is a "carrier hotel" or "ix" (like internet exchange). A carrier hotel is usually a dedicated-purpose facility where lots of different providers connect their networks together specifically for that purpose, but, hypothetically even a reasonably well-connected commercial datacenter will have at least a couple of carrier connections on site who could be used to create a mesh network base.
Just some?
Very strange product thinking at Facebook if they decided removing this feature was going to delete their data.
am i the only one that is just too lazy to type DuckDuckGo.com? i feel i may go there more if it was just ddg.com or something short
One absolutely could. Black lives matter is a strict subset of all lives matter. Any life being covered by "black lives matter" is also covered by "all lives matter". In that sense, it cannot diminish "black lives matter" because "black lives matter" is wholly contained within "all lives matter". Furthermore, the portion of the population that has a direct interest in the movement succeeding is expanded by 5-7x. Seems like a pretty big gain to me

For what it's worth, I approve of both "all lives matter" and "black lives matter" since both are working towards positive goals, they only differ in specificity. I do, however, disapprove of trying to pressure people into substituting the latter with the former or vice versa.
Widespread use of this technology would be a problem for government, since it would be difficult to insert fake records to create "legends" for undercover detectives, spies, and people in witness protection, etc.
And yet people who make that argument are usually the most intolerant of anyone.

It hands people an excuse on a silver platter to exercise their bigotry.

People who have a moral excuse to engage in evil are almost always the most dangerous and evilest of the bunch.
I'm an American, but I'm a big fan of the basic black opafiets. It's so practical and functional.
This is not the first time I've seen comments construed to mean something completely opposite from what was intended. This seems to be the argumentation tactic of this time.

The poem was specifically about purging targets not aligned with the thought processes of those in power. When you leverage your power to come for the next group, and take them out of play with ostracization, ridicule, etc., or in the case of the actual nazis, murder and genocide, then you have abused your power and made other groups outside your group afraid.

This is the uncomfortable truth of the poem.

I personally cannot stand AJ and his kooks. But I am against deplatforming, as kooks tend to self-identify, and I want to know exactly where they are and what they are doing at all times.
Hence the usage of words like "not entirely" and "approximately".
While I do agree with your stated premise, I disagree with the notion that agreeing with the premise forces me to choose between McCarthy and Stalin. My counter point is this: McCarthy started a witch hunt that targeted nonmurdous views as well. It's my impression that people advocating socialist policies (or any policy not strictly capitalist) were also targeted. I feel I can object to this, while also objecting to horrors wrought by Stalin. I'm not advocating the censorship of conservative views in general, just the murderous views expressed by a small faction.

As a personal side note, I've been enjoying this discussion with you. If you are interested in keeping it up, I'll reply sometime in the morning EST.
Curious, why use Twitter to post them if they get little attention on Twitter
It does neither of those things.
I don’t think there is a reasonable counter argument. It’s not a free license, for the same reason the JSON license isn’t.

The left has their share of misconduct.

Like expelling men accused of sexual misconduct without allowing them to defend themselves, while demanding that "people of color" be allowed to break the law without consequence (eg, trespassing, immigration).

Like forbidding hate speech, unless it's anti-white, anti-male speech, which will get you a job as an editor at the NY Times.
Believing something is bad for you and actually successfully changing it are two very different things.
That's a great question. I would hope that if it ever came up in a work context, one hypothesis would not automatically be assumed without an open and honest and conversation.
The fb discussion threads those posts initiated are gone, though.

If this happened to me I'd be extremely upset: I've had many very good discussions on Facebook that it would hurt to lose.
You only have to drive across the border to Germany to find full-kit alpine hikers (poles and all) walking their leisurely stroll in their local park. This reflects essentially the same attitude as what the GP described.

> Men are arrested hundreds of times more than women.

It's not actually "hundreds of times" more. It is, however, more than 10 to 1, which is more than the ratio of black to white inmates (even accounting for proportion of the general population).
So, first I would quibble a bit with the time scales you're talking about, as tape access could easily be more than tens of seconds, depending on status: Even a loaded tape might take a minute to reposition, if the data you want is at the opposite end.

In the world I support, everything has to be funded by something. We have our "cheap and deep" storage, for example (http://oak-storage.stanford.edu), but labs who use it have to pay for it.

Unchecked growth is highly unlikely, as grants run out eventually, and then the data will have to go somewhere else. Often these days, that ends up being Google Drive, but there is demand for tape archival storage.

Even the Stanford Digital Repository (https://library.stanford.edu/research/stanford-digital-repos...), who are extremely serious when they talk about "long-term", say they're developing pricing models.
Ok but can't the hospital (or the collections agency) take you to court? Let's say you have 100k bill from the hospital that you just ignore. They sell it to a collections agency for 60k. You refuse to pay the collections agency. Now what happens?
Today the lost hours maintaining my personal mailserver suddenly don't feel so lost!
Recruit in elementary school? Seriously? How about pay more taxes to provide a better k-12 education so the kids have a baseline on which they can learn the skills they need to succeed in tech.

Hopefully it's just a 'soft' delete, and this can be undone. I can't imagine FB actually hard-deleting any information that might help them in terms of ads etc.
I’m not sure I follow, none of those actions are mutually exclusive, so any and all combinations are available, even if one type of action is more effective than others.
I feel like you're conflating what I said with a sibling comment. Paying has nothing to do with my point, and I don't see what social contract that Facebook is obligated to host anything and everything they once allowed forever.
Haha. I’ve been saying this on American forums for a while now, and this comparison doesn’t seem to ring the alarm bells it should.

And same for my home country (which may well be your home country). We have all of the same, except the student loan industry, which sounds like some kafkaesque version of indentured slavery.
