Which is a great book, by the way, that I highly recommend anyone who likes science, space and, a good heist, to read.
In my opinion if a company makes software they want to get contributions back there are licenses such as GPL and AGPL, the commons clause just infringes on user freedoms. Thus I think the title is a bit too absolute and thus should be changed to something else.
I've experienced what you're talking about as maybe the fundamental challenge in making computer-based art. Computers love to follow rules. Come up with some interesting rules, and they will spit out interesting pictures/music. It's much much harder to figure out how to tell the computer "okay, but break the rule just a little bit, at the appropriate time". Codifying breaking the rules as its own rule is...well, so far it's mostly eluded me.

it's not lack of education in either case. It's just how people are. You believe lies, I believe lies, everyone does - the only reason we feel we can point at mob lynchings and say "backwards!" but look at our own problems (e.g. political riots) and say otherwise is because of differences in culture and perspective.
> You may be confusing race and (sub)species

There is a stigma with the word race and in many places (i.e. Europe) we learn that there is only one Human race, and only one Human species, as opposed to several "ethnic groups". Although the difference between race and ethnic group is vague. I've always wondered if it was just a taboo or not.
Shameless plug: If you want to organize your content with files and directories without any configuration files and all that fuzz, I created PLY[1] this summer.

All it does is convert .md files to .html and optionally uses nested Golang templates. There are some tricks behind the scenes, like support for tags and meta data (just like regular static site generators). Flexibility is concentrated into the templates, so no other files are needed.

I think the content (files) should reflect the structure of the webpage as close as possible when using a static site generator. When reducing complexity, we can go all the way down to the filesystem, where files and directories are the main building blocks. Content and design must be separated as much as possible.

I have not tested all static site generators out there, but the few that I tried did not satisfy my demands. So I just made my own (for fun and learning).

They have done a poor job communicating this license to the community, and this continues the tradition :(

> encrypted communication methods such as Snapchat and Facebook Messenger

neither of these are encrypted communication methods.
I would really like to see some revised approaches to the AGPL (actually open source) that doesn't freak everyone out. Some of the purpose of their commons clause is just because big company lawyers ban AGPL software in large part due to their interpretation of the license which may not even be correct.
people have a tendency to ignore in-app warnings. Steam puts at message at the top of every chat telling you not to give out your password, but after noticing it once or twice it just blends into the background. The lesson won't stay in the forefront of your mind.
I don't think you both understood what I said. It does not matter if you can find a decentralized solution to a problem because at the end the user will access it through an UI/UX/App that, in you example, can choose how to rank the search results beyond what the protocol dictates.

In the past people used the simple "mail" command to read emails but now they choose GMail or others because the UI/UX (or any other reason) is better or they like it more. The SMTP (federated) protocol is hidden.
> Panchgavya has a patent from the previous regime

Patent on what ? Let me leave this for you from the same article

"Vardhan, who was a member of Parliament from the Bharatiya Janata Party then, is now minister of science and technology. But in the years after the conference, the subject received no interest from the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance, which was in power till 2014. This changed when the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance came to power that year. And in November last year, Minister of State for Ayush Shripad Yesso Naik announced in the Lok Sabha that the government intended to undertake research and academic activities to promote the use of cow urine, especially its “anti-cancer and anti-infective” properties."

No IITD aren't morons but they sure no which way the wind blows and what research topics are favorite and which projects will have funds allocated at another projects expense.

Missed nothing from the quote you pasted. I agree with it.

Re Jio Institute, that's an example of an endorsement from the topmost level possible to an university that exists on paper.

If my examples dont convince you that those are mis-allocation of funds, continuing further is moot.

In case you have a change of tastes, just a reminder mine has vitamins and hormones too. Even the PM would be most cordially welcome.

PCBmodE – A printed circuit board design tool with a twist
I think this partially matches the parts of the criticism about writing a book, and how the notebook is unsuitable - mainly thinking along similar lines to writing software tutorials pages that are fully testable.

After seeing that post I had a look around for something a little like this and found Pweave http://mpastell.com/pweave/ which seems to approach the problem from the inverse direction direction, but I think I'd rather have something like this where the code is marked up and runnable as normal code but transformable into formatted documentation.

This seems like a reasonable match, but it looks like it's explicitly tied to notebooks and I'm not completely sold on the overloading of plain comments for markup purposes. Still, probably a good step.
You can give them crap, but not just unclassified unknown crap.

It is ok to give the cattle insect (roach) power.

It is not ok to give them the waste from the restaurant that may included good food, rotten fruit, paper napkins (did one of the clients had flu?), something brown that was in the fridge, a piece of meat (did the butchered cow had the mad cow disease? let's break the cicle), some leftovers of the food of the dog of the owner, a rat (can I put the dead rat here? it was a natural dead after it was hit with a stick), some roaches that were unsuspectingly eating some leftovers, some flies and maggots, and some nasty stuff.
If a country isn't with you, they are against you. So if the U.S. doesn't want to stay on good terms with the EU, the EU should assume they are going to be on good terms with their enemies. Russia is destabilizing democracy, that is a fact that the EU already knows. Now they see that the US isn't willing to stand with them. Thus they are a hostile power.
That is not what you wrote in the gp post. You specifically referred to physical differences and now you're back-pedalling because that argument crumbled. Stop and read what you're writing. All you have to offer are personal anecdotes and personally biased speculation which is contrary to trivial evidence. A rational person would re-evaluate their beliefs at this point.

'There is not a gender skill gap when it comes to using technology' is a very different argument to 'certainly is that the physical differences betwen individuals regardless of sex are bigger than those between sexes'
My thoughts exactly. These "imperfections" are marks of individuality. My prediction is that the next step would be introducing these algorithmically in a way that we find acceptable. For now, Manolo's art seems nice, but very far from the works of famous futurists, surrealists of Bauhaus painters.

They could have gone with Iponweb[1] or something like that but at Reddit's scale it might actually (for a change) make sense to roll their own.

They're one of the largest websites in the world now, so what holds for 'ordinary' websites and their best practices may simply no longer apply to Reddit.

Slightly off topic.

What is the accepted/common runtime for production python code ?

Is it cpython, ironpython ?

Art is an investment and if it's worth $1 million now, it's guaranteed to be worth a lot more in 10 years.

If you know that for sure I have some crypto currencies to sell to you. Guaranteed to make you a mint in 10 years.

Sarcasm aside. You're statement is bullshit. While it's possible that art apreciates significantly it's also very possible that a piece of art depreciates in value massively.

Usually this has very much to do with an artist falling out of fashion. Suddenly the prices for his works are only 1/3rd what they used to be.

Certainly, it [art] can. A couple of decades ago, a Rand Corp. study estimated that only 1/2 of 1% of all paintings being sold at that time ever resold for more money than they had originally sold for.

I can’t see how it would make a huge difference..... unless of course it means that the reporting structure is giving critical information to decision makers which it wasn’t before.
This is a very important topic to figure out.

IANAL I think there is a very simple solution: use the 'Notice clause' of the Apache 2 License to require cloud users to put some unflattering notice in their documentation:

If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or, within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and wherever such third-party notices normally appear.

Offer the option to purchase a license to the software without the requirement to display the notice.
This is only one of many data points that has my “economic meltdown” threat board blinking red all the time. The other ones are how many counties with AAA aren’t even within a country mile of being able to afford their future obligations, and the slew of pensions across the US that are expected to go bankrupt.
Well, I to me larger means in absolute terms.

Purchase price parity is of course a valid view but not what I would consider in this context.
I think its useful to have a name of "Apache 2 License + Commons Clause" because 99% of the users will use it as Apache-2.0 rather than sell it as a cloud service.
It seems that the bill [1] is intended to make it possible for ASIO/ASIS/ASD/whoever to force Apple, etc. to share their most powerful private keys (I.E. likely the keys burnt into the ROM bootloader of iOS devices), their source code and build processes. [2]

It might appear from a cursory glance at the bill and the "Industry Assistance Factsheet" [3] that the bill would not allow for this sort of behavior (introducing backdoors), but the relevant section 317ZG of the bill only prohibits government agencies from requesting that companies build weaknesses or backdoors into their software but says nothing of the government doing the same. This is extraordinarily deceptive.

So, Apple's response (and the response of other multinationals) is likely going to be to ensure that all devices that are sold on the Australian market are sold with an Australia-only root certificate/key which they'll be forced to share with the Australian government agencies but whose compromise won't affect business in other countries.

It seems that doing business in Australia (as a multinational) is going to be like doing business in China, and no doubt there will be other countries that decide to not purchase Australian communications technology for fear of backdoors... [5]

What a fucking farce this is.

EDIT: I forgot to add that by writing the bill to allow for the above behavior, the total amount of TCNs and TANs that are required (for dragnet surveillance) is reduced substancially, and given that the only public reporting seems to be a rough yearly count, this is great for PR of a police-state as it means that only a handful of approvals have to be recorded. Also it's punishable by up to 5 years in jail if you reveal the existence of a TCN/TAN (except where required to in legal proceedings and to provide a total count of the number of TCNs/TANs received over the last >6 months).

[1] https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/consultations/Documents/the-a...

[2] See section 317E, subparagraph (f) of the bill which states that a "communications provider must [...] assist with the testing, modification, development or maintenance of a technology or capability."

[3] https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/consultations/Documents/indus...

[4] Section 317ZG of the bill: "a [request/notice] must not have the effect of requiring a _designated communications provider_ to implement or build a systemic weakness, or a systemic vulnerability, into form of electronic protection"

> the big bucks are in space activities not space transportation

This is an opinion, not a fact. They are presently in transportation. Moreover, the space mining and manufacturing pitch has been made (incorrectly) for at least forty years. I have yet to see a convincing business model for any of these activities, even assuming cheaper launch costs.
Using a couple of lasers to create matter makes a whole bunch of weird things possible. And while we're dreaming, this would be one heck of a 3D printer, provided you'd be willing to wait a literal eternity for your device or product!

> In the 18th and 19th centuries western European society was highly unequal. Private wealth dwarfed national income and was concentrated in the hands of the rich families who sat atop a relatively rigid class structure. This system persisted even as industrialisation slowly contributed to rising wages for workers. Only the chaos of the first and second world wars and the Depression disrupted this pattern. High taxes, inflation, bankruptcies and the growth of sprawling welfare states caused wealth to shrink dramatically, and ushered in a period in which both income and wealth were distributed in relatively egalitarian fashion. But the shocks of the early 20th century have faded and wealth is now reasserting itself. On many measures, Piketty reckons, the importance of wealth in modern economies is approaching levels last seen before the first world war.

Source: https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2014/05/04/...

If things haven't change much (i.e if we think we can't do much to reduce inequality), there are many reasons to fear war and/or chaos.
And frankly, it must be stopped. We can’t have loads and loads of space junk floating around in near earth orbit.

Space isn’t the internet, you “can’t move fast and break things,” and you can’t just create more of it. We have to be careful and systematic and decide exactly what is important enough to be placed into orbit.

Having a high cost at least prevents a glut of crap being put up there, if it doesn’t necessarily prevent meritless things from being launched.

Someone has to say humbug to this before the Lords of Silicon Valley screw it up and make the rest of us pay for it.
Sorry you are getting downvoted. This is very much correct and folks simply put a lot of faith in the proxy transport as the ends to a means. One vulnerability / bug (Tor has had many) can weaken that link. Tor is rarely installed correctly or in a secure manor. (forcing all packets through it and dropping anything that leaks from the browser, for starters)
Cloud providers aren't actually distributing open source software though unless it is AGPL. So I think this is a good idea, but you also need a better AGPL license too.
React.js, if you squint, is also a step in this direction – React.js on the client can bind to a DOM, or run in Node and stream strings to a socket. In other words React decoupled HTML rendering from platform APIs by making it data driven. Data is universal and can be manipulated on any platform, even pencil and paper. What other platform APIs can be replaced by something data driven? I know from my study of Haskell that the answer is probably: all of them.

The cloud scales faster than your budget
Your argument is that a good understanding of economics will inevitably lead to good gains in your investments, and a lack of performance in your investments means that you lack a good understand of economics.

That seems kind of shaky to me.

Yes, I misspoke, my intention was "owners of land" not only renters. House flipping became the national sport for the middle-classes for some time (just hold a house for 3 months, "earn" £30k).

In addition, in my UK city high-street shop rents are through the roof because owners have no pressure to rent out - they're making money holding the premises, so they can wait years and maintain high rental. This helps kill the high-street.
Eh, several countries have proven that monetary, tax, and welfare policy can absolutely reduce wealth disparity within a nation. The US is currently proving that some policies can increase disparity.

Certainly major catastrophic events has a larger effect, but you don’t need one.

Trump is right on some level to want to bring some manufacturing home, I just don't think he's smart enough to consider how, what or why.
Do you come from a Go background?

Because in my opinion, it starts to make sense if you understand what's going on behind the scenes with Go.

Hugo always struck me as an SSG for developers who want something in between the super-easy to use, with zero experience and, well, starting from scratch with every site.

Admittedly, even with a Golang background, I find there is quite a learning curve, so I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who is just trying to get their blog online.
>"we publish it here not for its quality but because some people want to keep it hidden for non-scientific reasons"

You can't be serious.

Here's how it should work, ideas that survive rigorous examination should be published, because that is how merit is measured in the context of peer reviewed journals. What else are scientific and mathematical ideas to be judged on if not merit?

So now we'll allow people to be published because of popularity? Or lack of popularity? Or who has the best hair style?

I think I'm done here.

You guys have a nice rest of your day.
Yeah, I just wanted to show that (GHC) haskell has a way of getting a type with "zero" inhabitants that actually gets caught by the type checker. (I say "zero" since of course my Empty-type above does contain non-terminating programs and (undefined :: a).)

With "forall a. a" I was coming from the persepctive of intuisionistic type theory where the usual parametric polymorphism just get subsumed by Π-types and universal quantification is usually represented with Π-types, so you would have:

forall a.a (Universal Quantification)
<==> Π(a : Type) a (Π-type)
<==> (a : Type) -> a (Agda-notation)
==> a -> a (Π-type as regular function type)

where Type represents any type. That's what I meant by "type-level identity function".
