> The broader problem is that California's micromanagement poses a risk to the rest of the country. After all, broadband is an interstate service; Internet traffic doesn't recognize state lines. It follows that only the federal government can set regulatory policy in this area. For if individual states like California regulate the Internet, this will directly impact citizens in other states.

This line of argument fails the smell test; California (and other states) regulates phone networks, including long distance calling from within its borders, and the FCC doesn't whine about that.
Just like when you'd call in dispatch they might come or they might not. Who knows.

Do you mean I'm using small-letter "i" somewhere? I triple-checked, but can't seem to find that anywhere?

That's a great idea!

This fight is pot vs kettle.

CA doesn't think twice about making laws that contradict federal laws or are in direct violation of the constitution.

Pai is, charitably speaking, in the pocket of industry.

I think CA is within its rights this time around and wins this one fair and square though despite not having an awesome coffee mug.
Words With Friends Is Adopting React Native
They employ many thousands of people in Ireland. So many that they've driven up property prices and rents beyond what the natives can afford in Dublin. Many employees are immigrants, for language reasons (Customer support, etc,) and programmers from East Europe. They typically service Europe, Mid-East, African markets from Ireland and sometimes elsewhere too.Brian at Netsso, worried about link tax, etc.
There's a whole infrastructure of liability for payer and merchant that exists below the surface of every transaction.

This is why, unfortunately, credit card companies can charge the fees that they do. For example, the issuing banks take on liability if payers don't pay, for example. I don't think Stripe is willing to get in the business of this unless they want to turn into a bank.
Georgia had a very similar system, at least in my county, in the late 1990's. Then after the 2000 election we threw away the convenience of electronic tallies with the security of paper back up for the Diebold touch systems. I always feel like voting with those machines is just theater. There's no way for me to validate my vote.

Maybe you are changing wrong config file? Most software has a default config that is overwritten with updates, but allows you to add custom config in separate files.
FWIW, among vegans, there is a bit of controversy over certain bivalves. Oysters and Mussels both lack a sophisticated central nervous system and likely are closer to plants than even higher invertebrates in terms of anything like pain perception. There's a reasonable case to be made that ethical vegans should be able to eat them, especially considering that oyster and mussel farming actually removes pollution from the water and has a positive environmental impact (unsurprisingly, there is plenty of disagreement though).

I don't know much about sea sponges, starfish, or jellyfish so I won't comment on those. Octopuses though are actually very intelligent compared to most other invertebrates. There are examples of complex problem solving, observational learning, and even tool use. Their intelligence is very "different" than what we are used to and hard to compare apples to apples, but is probably closer to the level of mice/rats/dogs than to insects or fish.
I wanted to get back to my main point which was not the particular turn of phase in my example, but just that politeness have nothing to do with incompetence. This was in response to the comment that stated that politeness would mean accepting bad code, which I strongly disagree with. You show that a patch can be rejected with a polite and still technically relevant on-the-point message, so we agree about the important point. I don't think politeness implies passive aggressiveness either, so my example sentence might have been badly chosen.

I've said it in the past, but I'm going to repeat myself: if anyone is willing to defend Pai's actions, would you like to do a friendly bet (proceeds to to a GiveWell charity) that as soon as he is legally allowed too he will be given a sinecure at Verizon/Comcast or an RNC friendly lobby shop?
Only if he's helping the homeless to the same degree he's taking the money from employees and customers. But let's face it, he is not and he wont.

> There is nothing in your list that is different for open-source and proprietary software development.

That's not right, even assuming full "Innersource".

My point was that OSD is a set of criteria for licenses, plus a source-availability requirement. Those criteria don't predetermine all the practices that make up open source development right now. Those practices have changed! The OSD largely hasn't.

> OSD makes process of choosing the answer fairly simple and helps developer avoiding all weird legal stuff.

If you've managed to avoid all weird legal stuff so far, I'm glad for you. A good portion of my legal career is addressing weird legal stuff, which crops up even with MIT, BSD, and GPL, to use your list. The GPLs and other copyleft licenses are chock full of weird legal stuff.

> Descriptions of pros and cons of every one of them in layman terms are available on the internet. It's hard to say the same for the ill-conceived licenses you mentioned.

I wrote one of the more popular guides to MIT in layman's terms:

https://writing.kemitchell.com/2016/09/21/MIT-License-Line-b...

I've also summarized the License Zero public licenses:

https://guide.licensezero.com/#public-licenses

The License Zero licenses are far easier to read, besides. That was part of the point of writing them from scratch.

> What if every open-source project started banning some arbitrary list of companies?

Highly unlikely. And that is not the approach of the License Zero licenses, React, Commons Clause, or most others that I mention.

If somehow this did become popular---again, very hypothetical---I'd go into npm and RubyGems and other package managers, and propose a package metadata field for excluded entities, and perhaps standardized categorical exclusions. This still sounds inconvenient, and I agree that it would be. But to give you a sense of near current practice, some large companies prohibit use of open source from specific competitors, even under permissive licenses, especially when the patent terms of the license are weak or nonexistent. That would include MIT, BSD, and GPLv2.

> And any lawyer would advise to find something else.

Or do a deal with Redis Labs. Which was the point, I think.
Or a court of law.
We tried to strike a balance between "commonly accepted as fast" terminal emulators and coverage of "commonly used" terminal emulators. Termite gets us libvte-based terminals (like gnome-terminal), urxvt is generally considered as one of the fastest, and Kitty is another well-regarded GPU-accelerated terminal emulator. On macOS, there's not nearly as many choices.

Ultimately, it would be great if we could benchmark against every terminal emulator, but that can become a very time-consuming task. If there's another emulator you feel should be included, we can consider it for future updates/benchmarks.

I see. Thanks. I found a faq on this, looks like using additional stuff on top of IPFS would require deny lists, but IPFS itself doesn’t.

“Q: Will i store other people's stuff?
A: No, by default IPFS will not download anything your node doesn't explicitly ask for. This is a strict design constraint. In order to build group archiving, and faster distribution, protocols are layered on top that may download content for the network, but these are optional and built on top of basic IPFS. Examples include bitswap agents, ipfs-cluster, and Filecoin.

Q: but bitswap says it may download stuff for others, to do better?
A: yes, this is an extension of bitswap, not implemented yet, and will be either opt-in, or easy to opt-out and following the denylists (to avoid downloading bad bits).”
Yeah, me, I'm the one who said that. :^)
>Avoid the VOX and FOX sources

That's exactly the problem. Who do you like?

Because I've seen HORRIBLY inaccurate articles on guns done by BBC and NPR who routinely has Michael Bloomberg on as an "expert" in the field when he happens to be the single source of almost all gun control money in the USA right now.

There is no white whale. There are stories that Fox has absolutely gotten right. The are things Vox or Vice get right. CNN this last month refuses to acknowledge they made up a claim from an anonymous source. NYT and WaPo have run articles dangerously close to fake news and retracted them.

If you followed the 2016 election, you should be aware that there is no unbiased news. Glenn Greenwald's The Intercept article which I typically like have some extremely biased articles by the other authors. Mind boggling they're on the same site.

It extends past news as well.

Who seriously thinks it's "right" in terms of bias to have the cast of Avengers in a commercial telling me I need to vote for Clinton? There are the same people that feign protest against things like Citizen's United.

In the Wikileaks Podesta emails it was discovered that The Colbert Report as far back as 2013 was running content designed by Clinton's campaign as an intro to her running. If no one remembers the last six months of Jon Stewart's Daily Show, I'll remind you it was The Trump Show, I am under no illusion that was by someone's design as Viacom who was for Clinton.

I don't think there is a solution to "just don't listen to Vox or Fox".

"Turn on the TV, hear a bunch of what the fucks, dude is dating so and so, blabbering about such and such, and that's not Jersey Shore, homie that's the news. The same people that's supposed to be telling us the truth"
It also fails the smell test because Internet traffic doesn't recognize international lines, yet he's claiming the federal government has regulatory powers over the Internet.

> Do I not deserve the same quality of life and opportunities as people who happened to have been born in the East Village?

No, no more than I deserve a passport from every country I have ever traveled to.

Most US states consider you a resident if you stay more than 90 days. That's when you'd be expected to change your driver's license, car registration, etc.

You seem to be conflating the ideas of birthright and residency. I don't think anybody is arguing you shouldn't be allowed to become an NYC resident if you want to; what they're saying is that visiting doesn't make you a resident.
While I haven't done a lot of research in this area, I would suspect launching a new credit card company is just a massive amount of work, very different from launching a new web app. You're obviously going to be subject to a lot of banking and capital regulations; you're either going to have to be starting an actual bank or you're going to have to partner with (at least) one, for instance. Then you have to figure out how to get businesses to start accepting you. "This card works everywhere that happens to have a Square-based point of sale system" is not going to get you to be the next Visa. It's not even going to get you to be the next Discover.

While Simple was trying to launch a new bank, not a CC processor, their experience is probably informative here -- they're successful by some measures, but they failed at disrupting the industry the way they wanted to. (I'm a Simple customer and have been on the edge of switching back to a conventional bank for over a year; it's mostly just inertia that keeps me there.)
No, not at all. It's that, if you are employing someone full time, those people should not need public assistance. If they do, then taxpayers are subsidizing your labor costs. And for a company as big and as rich as Amazon or Wal-Mart, that's completely unacceptable.
I think you might be surprised how much risk Stripe is willing to take on when they can gain hundreds of basis points on cutting out the networks. Only time will tell though :)
What I would like is a browser plugin/extension that jails every website in it's own cookie space. That way websites(and all trackers on that website) can only read their own cookies. Is there anything like that out there?
Thanks, I'll definitely be looking forward to any improvements on that!
That's a lot of assumption, there. You assume we all have an extra box lying around to serve. You assume we all have the DIY attitude--or the time--to set one up. You assume that all E-mail users are smart enough to do this. And you assume (for my case, at least) that setting up AND maintaining a premise e-mail server is something we all WANT to do (after, you know, a long day of tending to company servers and equipment). And, finally, there's the assumption that the irrelevance of this avenue (as it IS outside the scope of the OP's question) is warranted or welcomed feedback.
Of course he does.

There would not be such a fight if Ajit were to actually regulate in the public interest.

I see someone already made the comment, "didn't he give all that to the FTC?"

Indeed.
We are speaking about how to manage a BFCM sale and the data definitely says that coupon codes are a significantly worse alternative to a site-wide markdown. It is all about friction reduction. Asking users to type in a coupon code adds a step that doesn't need to be there. This doesn't mean that coupon codes are never useful, but in this particular case we would recommend making the experience as seamless as possible.

I understand how the system works; the requests hit the API before the credit card network. Hence the ability to cut out the network if Stripe is willing to take the chargeback/fraud risk.
I don't think it's a problem that happens, though. If you're going to fraudulently rig an election it's vastly cheaper to do so by rigging the polling station than it is by faking the voters.

But by introducing voter ID systems you are very likely to skew elections away from the people least likely to possess accepted ID, i.e. the lowest socio-economic groups.
Saying that you can make nuclear waste disappear is an extremely ignorant (bordering on negligent) thing to say.

The hope that a dead project started 40 years ago might be brought back to life is hardly a "don't need to worry about it" sort of bullet point, especially when you're discussing something that needs to be managed and maintained for thousands of years.
The MC/Visa duopoly needs to be disrupted.

Yes, but not by anything even vaguely resembling credit cards as we know them today. The whole system is insecure, inefficient and unreliable by design, and the credit aspect introduces an extra level of legal and financial mess, particularly for those people who just want a convenient payment method but don't actually need to defer settlement. Card payments may be the perfect example of the dangers of monopolies and oligopolies.
An hour each way isn't on the long side anymore, especially in and around Bay Area/SF unless you pay the price for it in higher rent/mortgage.
Any serious history of the subject (WWII, Hitler, etc) that covers that time period would include it. It was integral to Hitler's foreign policy.

Remember that the purpose of propaganda is not to persuade people as much as to create enough uncertainty and confusion that there is inaction - like FUD in the computer industry.
Sadly, you may be right.

Still, opportunity costs on this are likely huge relative to settling financials on a merit basis.

This idea keeps coming up. There’s a few reasons it hasn’t happened:

1. To really leverage the personal data, you need to run it through a model and correlate it with ad inventory. Those are two things you don’t tend to want to deliver to an insecure client. Then you need to collect data on how those ads performed to update the model.

2. For all that, it’s still more convenient to manage GDPR opt-in. Don’t underestimate the convenience of centralized management.
