Where? The OP combines a Amazon Facial Recognition controversy with Ring Video, which they did just acquire, but provides nothing to support the claim that the information is somehow connected.

The OP also makes the inflated claim saying it will offer facial recognition, when the video actually says person recognition. This is something Nest and other systems have offered for years. Person recognition ensures your system isn’t recording pets or squirrels in your yard and instead records actions by actual people. If you want something to worry about, Nest is actually offering the ability to recognize different people, powered by Google of course.
Who's buying these bonds? I'm assuming it must be mostly Chinese investors and financial firms?

Also, does it ultimately matter with an economy as productive as China's? Other commenters are comparing it with Detroit, which has lost most of its tax base, so I'm not sure that's a fair comparison.

And, if they are state run funds/bond issuing, than isn't it roughly equivalent to any other kind of monetary stimulus? (genuinely asking, this isn't my area of expertise)
> if you take the licensed software, and link it (via rpc / network) to your other software, you must share not only any changes you've made to the licensed part, but the whole thing that uses it.

Slight modification makes this accurate to the SSPL: if you take the licensed software, and link it (via rpc / network) to your other software which you use to offer the SSPL licensed software as a service, you must share...

> Another tricky question is where the border line is.

Ultimately the trigger of the SSPL is whether what you offer publicly is the SSPL-licensed software as a service. It doesn't trigger the SSPL if you make MongoDB available as a service to your application internals as long as what you're making available publicly is not "a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version..."
How to Use Twitter for Best Marketing Results. A Cheat Sheet Infographic
It truly is the most interesting subject I've been working on yet. The fascinating thing about it is that it isn't a "solved" issue with one, correct solution, so you can feel like a 19th-century scientist at times :).
Well I did serve Footlocker notice under Florida Civil Statute to preserve the video and confirmed with the store manager the video exists and the events occurred at that store location.

Before I spend a few hundred dollars more on filing a civil suit just to serve discovery on footlocker, I’d go straight to the store and pay the manager to make me a copy (save myself time and money). Either way filing a civil suit or paying of a store manager is not efficient and it’s costly.

At the end of the day you are telling a criminal victim the answer is in the civil courts...which is wrong. I understand police resources, but I did the investigation for them, someone from their department just needs to send an informal email requesting the video, but they won’t.
That is a problem. Say I get the video and even identify the individuals, I can give that to the police too but they don’t have to do anything with it. What then, amend the civil complaint from John Doe to said persons and get a default judgment I’ll never collect on? Rather each have a record for felony grand theft and credit card fraud and get my restitution judgment right from the criminal court.

> Open Source was a way to make free software acceptable to businesses, not subvert the FSF.

Read my comment again please.

I didn't say subvert the FSF, but some of the things the FSF stands for. This, as you correctly point out, in order to make it more appealing to businesses, which I didn't dispute.
I call bullshit. This is simply a case of the police not doing their job. I filed a police report. Gave them all the necessary information they need to do their f'ing job. And it wasn't like I was talking to a homicide cop, trying to get them to investigate my car burglary. I literally spoke to the detective in charge of this sort of thing.

How am I supposed to find out the people who I should take to court? I do not have access to the license plate database. I suppose I could take the city to court for... something... but we know how far that will go. That's all a moot point, though. My stuff was pawned/traded/fenced/whatever a few days after it was stolen, max. It's not like I can go through a long litigious process to retrieve the ~$500 in stuff that was taken from me.
The local uses are not the problem. The problem is that neither Ring nor you can really protect against the larger abuses enabled by this:
* Racial profiling: Anybody of incorrect race can be automatically reported, then harassment drone can be deployed.
* Government directed assassinations are made much easier. If your government wants you dead, you literally cannot go anywhere.

For places with well functioning governments this is all mostly alright. But for places without well functioning governments the expansion of the surveillance sphere becomes pretty much everywhere. Is there a happy ending here? Not likely. But that's not your fault, I totally understand the desire to deploy Ring and kick home intruders and package thieves to the curb.

Sure. Which is why, in addition to telling people to wear seat belts, we also make people take Driver's Ed so that they can demonstrate that they at least nominally know the rules of the road and can drive safely.

What's the Driver's Ed version of teaching people not to commit rape or sexual assault? When I was in college, there was a freshman orientation activity that talked about consent, but it wasn't mandatory, not all colleges have it, and not all people go to college. Who's teaching high schoolers about the nuances of consent and what it means to sexually assault somebody?

China builds ghost cities and also tears down cities and combines them into new ones. They also have built bridges 26.4 miles long miles long over water (Jiaozhou Bay). Just the materials alone must cost a great deal even at the reduced prices the Government pays and the low wages for employees. Not to mention the huge Government security surveillance and incarceration system. China chides the USA for it's foreign wars but China is at war with it's population to control them, the cost must be similar or higher.

Do you not see any problem with that? Companies who are good at commercialisation gets all the dough for work created by small group of inventors. Is protecting inventors interest not important? Isn't this negatively affecting the ecosystem where there's less motivation for inventors to create open source software in the first place?

This can be solved easily. The "View and Internal Use License" can allow redistribution under the same license (verbatim).

It's common among workflow languages to represent everything as a graph. What I think is more appropriate is an expression-like approach, where the relationships between the different actions are implicit in the syntax.

For example, if you have a graph like the following:

node A
node B
node C
node D
edge B -> A
edge C -> A
edge D -> B
edge D -> C

you could write that as an expression like this:

A (B D) (C D)

In the action example, the "needs" field is a dependency on the task, or in other words a subexpression. If there are multiple independent expressions that all depend on that, you could use something like let/letrec to assign the result of "Provision Database" to a variable, and then reference that from other expressions.

Basically, the action syntax they have is like writing an abstract syntax tree where every node explicitly lists its dependencies. An expression is a much more compact form and the subexpressions are implicit in the AST produced by the parser; this is the approach used by most programming languages. But for reasons I still don't fully understand, workflow languages (which I consider to be a specific class of programming language) don't seem to adopt this more compact representation.
My guess is that if McConnell and Grassley had allowed hearings and a vote, Garland likely would have been confirmed, because there likely are enough GOP senators who didn't oppose Garland but didn't want to cross McConnell. The Constitution doesn't say that the majority leader gets a blank check in deciding how the advise-and-consent process works — in effect, McConnell and Grassley disenfranchised up to 98 other senators and stopped the Senate from performing its constitutional duty. I'd love to see both of them expelled from the Senate for what they did, but I'm under no illusion that the required 2/3 votes would ever be there in their lifetimes.

Customizable kinetic pixels for art and architecture
Totally agree. I have a couple visions of attainable infrastructure evolutions, we should have every city and county helping sponsor X Prizes that would help us attain incredible improvements:
• elevate all city infrastructure up off the ground, 100 feet or more. If you figure that out you get arable, natural landscapes back and you keep your city too.
• How to bring light down to the ground underneath it all? I say we build transparent canals, use their shape to lense light through and around.
• these canals, there could be extra channels/tubes added to store and process dirty, utility and drinkable water
• create food programs that bring growing, harvesting, finishing and cooking down into the crowds of us who’d want to participate. Can we reduce the cost of food by orders of magnitude?
So, yes, technically, OSI does not own the term open source, and it could be that this license does comply with everything set out in the Open Source Definition (https://opensource.org/osd), and that means that, technically, "(the latest version of) MongoDB is not open source" is overstating the case.

Except that, as a non-lawyer developer who generally agrees with the Open Source Definition, "under an OSI-approved license" is my working definition of "open source". I believe the same is true for many others. And, under that definition, if Ms. Brasseur doesn't consider it to be open source (yet), I'm happy to fall in line with that.

She went on to say the magic words that mean so much more to me on this front than any debate about who gets to own the term: "It's probably best to limit your legal risk," and, "at this point." OSI's recommendations are a key part of how I limit my legal risk, and they're working on vetting it as we speak. My best course of action is to sit on my hands and wait for their advice.
Finally, I can hope to cancel my CircleCI account soon.

Revision control, in general, turns 2D code into 3D code. Git turns 2D code into 4D code. With great power comes great responsibility. And you have to impose rules on yourself regarding which areas of that power landscape you should explore and which areas to stay away from (to keep your sanity, productivity, keep the complexity under control, etc, etc).

Flight rules, process workflows, protocols (both network protocols, and protocols of mission critical human activity), they all belong to the idea of limiting yourself to a set pattern of activity when dealing with something that can practically give you infinite possibilities. Because infinite possibilities give decision fatigue and analysis paralysis.

By 2D code I mean code in a text editor: the two dimensions of lines and columns.

By 3D code I mean: lines, columns, time (meaning commit timestamps)

By 4D code I mean: lines, columns, time, time travel (you can go back to older commits and rewrite your revision history).
I suspect that's because the phone market is very hard to get into. If I remember correctly, they didn't have any carrier partners, which is how the majority of phones in the US were sold at the time (and probably still are). The success of Fire tablets, such as it is, is enough to show that it's possible to ship a device without Google Play Services and be in the market. Why does it have to be a phone?
See for yourself: do a "git cat-file commit HEAD" on any repository. The "tree" line is the current state, the "parent" line(s) are the preceding commit(s). That command shows everything git has recorded for any commit (you can similarly use "git ls-tree <sha1>" to show everything git has recorded for any tree, or "git cat-file blob <sha1>" to show the contents of a file from the tree).

> but it's not open source unless you know the OSI's definition.
> Open source is an agreed upon definition for software provided under an OSI or FSF approved license.

Open source software (by today's standards) existed before the OSI or even the term "Open Source" existed - the creators of BSD *nix, X11 and TeX all chose a liberal, open source license before a cabal around Eric S. Raymond would decide on a definition of Open Source and the term itself. The idea came after the actual thing existed, and the definition after the idea. So it would be weird to call something Open Source that doesn't fit the Open Source Definition (because the latter was conceived together with the term), but it would absolutely be possible for a software/license to be Open Source without knowing about the Open Source Definition, as is the case with BSD, X11, TeX and many Free Software programs.

Next, there is the idea of the Open Source Initiative approving Open Source licenses, which is a good thing because people can trust any OSI-approved license to be an Open Source license. However, not every Open Source license is OSI-approved, because OSI applies additional criteria (e.g. being reusable).

So, yes, it's possible for a license to be Open Source but not OSI approved, when it fits the Open Source Definition but hasn't been submitted, not reviewed, or doesn't meet the additional criteria set forth by the OSI.

The fact that your employer's legal department will mistrust your personal judgement of software fitting the Open Source Definition (for perfectly sensible reasons) doesn't make software not Open Source (any more than a US State can decide to make Pi a rational number or to make dolphins be fish).

The ugliest shoe design ever, a parable for creative IP in technology
The ability to recognize and manage complexity is surely a strong survival trait, akin to wisdom. As true for hunting and gathering as for particle research. Complexity is also somehow deeply related to beauty, or at least awe. Such emotions motivate us to become more observant of the complex, possibly therefore out-replicating the more oblivious.

Worship of the complex, or at least a particular focus on it, may be built in by Chuck Darwin.
Gorsuch occupies a stolen seat but realistically can't be removed. So a tenth justice would neutralize him, and an eleventh justice would restore things to the way they would have been were it not for McConnell's despicable obstruction with Garland (for which he should be expelled from the Senate, but I know that will never happen).
The more complex a system is, the more people it takes to maintain, write, test for it. It builds the manager's empire and also increases mindshare for the complexity-driven approach. I've seen it many times.
Ask HN: Getting back a zest for life?
I had an orgasm today, the first in several weeks (I'm a female btw, in case it's relevant).

In the moments after orgasm I felt inspired to do things I would never have wanted to do before. I had fantasies like the way I used to fantasize as a teenager, that I haven't had since. My mind felt really alive for those brief moments.

It really brought home to me how I'm living only half a life. Whilst I'm not unhappy, I feel like my mind is dull, and I don't get excitement from things the way I used to as a child.

I know this is a fairly normal feeling for an adult. I just wish there were a easy way of getting back that child-like mind that was excited about every little thing, and full of imagination and plans to have fun. I could fantasize wonderful scenarios in my head that made me feel like I was experiencing them for real. Nowadays I rarely fantasize about anything.

Any suggestions on how I could get back this child-like zest for life....? Any quick hacks?

I have tried mindfulness on and off for the past several years but I've always gotten bored of it and never gotten to a point where I felt it was helping me. Maybe I need suggestions on how to persist with that until I see results?

git has 3+1 areas where a change can live:

- working directory
- staged
- commited
- (upstream)
*

hg has only 2+1

- working directory
- commited
- (upstream)
*

(*) both support something like stash but in hg it is easier to avoid that.

git log shows you history depending on the checked out version

hg log shows you the whole history of the branch, also after your checked out version. Knowing where you are is very valuable.

in hg you can push multiple heads into a repo. that is very convenient when a junior is unable to merge something. to my understanding in git you need different branches.

git - linus wants you to edit commits until they are perfect

> permission to use forked Android

This is spun terminology. Everyone can use forked Android under the AOSP license. The "permission" in question is the permission to license Google's proprietary stuff under terms (i.e. alongside forked Android products) Google doesn't want to offer.

Now, one can argue that the EC decision was sound on principle (I'm mixed, personally). But it's not an issue of Google refusing to let people use Android. I mean, they never had to open source the thing in the first place!
