On Allen Ginsburg's "Howl": "all prose, all rhetoric, without any music"

You could certainly debate the merits of these poems, but how can you NOT hear the music?

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
> But "the Play Store and associated Google services" aren't part of Android. So you can ship Android devices without them.

You can either ship every Android device with the Play store, or none. As a manufacturer, you don't get to pick and choose, thanks to the newspeak-ish Open Hardware Alliance (OHA).
The OSI owns the definition, yes. You are incorrect.

See https://opensource.org/osd which is what DEFINES open source. The term has been around for 20 years. Your lack of understanding the history doesn't make you any kind of an expert.
It's once in a while rather than chronic.
I have heard this from AWS reps for ages, for what it's worth.

I don't speak lawyer, but what I understood is this:
1. Going forward, we'll allow two licensing tiers: full package and light
2. All manufacturers selling phones in the EU will have to choose the licensing level for new devices

Something tells me vendors will be _encouraged_ to choose a particular licensing model or Google will make the full integration cheaper to keep Chrome and Search on as many devices as before this change.

This was a fantastic talk, thanks for linking! One interesting takeaway: As you play create random juxtaposition of ideas and see if anyone makes sense. It's good that some of these are crazy.

Not sure anyone actually thinks "open source" is a term owned by an organization and the gp didn't say they were restricting Mongo, so I'm not sure if your clarification is necessary.

It's like someone claiming certain software doesn't scale. There is no need to clarify that the author doesn't own the word "scalability".

Op is speaking for the OSI's opinion on whether it's open source or not.

Its related to the laws and regulations there. Once Google makes nice with the Xiao Jinping, the same OHA restrictions will apply to Xiaomi, Huawei etc.
_Also_ I bet some random licensing folks are crapping their pants at IBM right now.

Aren't you glad it isn't you! ;-)
No, again someone who doesn't really know the history. Open Source was a way to make free software acceptable to businesses, not subvert the FSF. The FSF's goal is to have ZERO PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE at all and that software patents are stupid and should be illegal.

So, without such knowledge your statement might make sense. But even stating that OSS subverts FSF is laughable!
Yeah, I have to agree with jakobegger. viyi doesn't provide any reason or detail here for his request other than "I wanted to create a graph".

Why start your "graph" by demanding data from "one low-profile Eastern European webshop"?

Why not start with those companies that we all know collect reams of personal data?

I can easily suppose a few motivations for that but none of them lead to "create a graph".

Does anyone have numbers to compare? Go is a compiled language. Should perform much better.

Python might be perfectly acceptable of course.
Oh, that's really tempting :) Believe us! There are people in our team who would love to dive deeper into CRDT. We confirm that OT definitely has its problems. It's elegant at first but gets really dirty the deeper you dive into this... hole. Especially the undo feature adds to it a tone of complexity.

So, some of my colleagues see CRDT as a potential saviour. There was even a paper on CRDT for tree structures that we might use (can't find a link now). However, we'd rather go with a linear model for CRDT. That'd make it a bit easier on the CRDT level but it would require some really smart decisions about: types of changes, the structure of the linear model and how it is transformed to the tree model (that we need after all). We know, though, that without an actual implementation, it's just a theoretical discussion. Therefore, we started thinking whether we could add CRDT "below" our current tree model. That might allow validating the concept in a real-life. Can't wait to do that :)

BTW, in the meantime, we recommend this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.02137
I don't think so. With this move, now device manufacturers would have more choice to either include Google's services by paying additional price or choose from other providers (paid same, less or more or even free. Think OSM instead of Google Maps). This increases competition for the betterment of everyone.

Consumers who can't imagine life without Google would drive the makers towards Google again while others would have the advantage of being exposed to more diverse services.
This. Samsung has already done deals with Microsoft and Dropbox previously to pre-load their services on some Samsung phones.

Imagine if you could buy a "Windows" Android, with Office 365 + bing preloaded and optimized like a Windows Phone 2.0 sold next to a Google Android phone. As a consumer, I love having that type of option, and the manufacturer can also add their own software / services.
No, until now, you were not allowed to fork just because you agreed not to install Google apps on that phone -- you were only allowed to fork if you didn't want to install Google apps on any phone you made. So, for example, Samsung couldn't decide to offer an Android phone without Google unless it was willing to shut down its entire current business.

The allegation is that because of this, anyone looking to fork Android had a very hard time finding good OEMs to make their phones. E.g., maybe the Amazon fire phones would have worked if they could have gotten a Tier 1 OEM to make the phones so they could have put out a better product. But nobody would agree to stop making all of their current Android phones to see (I assume; there is no public version of the decision yet so I'm making up the example).
I was thinking the same thing! I would pay serious money for this sort of thing in a kit. Maybe in general, that's an opportunity for something like Shapeways, but for laser cutting/milling.

You'll lose lots of functionality since the provider just becomes dumb storage. I am not sure how you would even do machine learning on the data, you can't put it on the device unless it had its own massive storage and rings are just dumb battery powered cameras. You'll need a host device to crunch data before shipping it off to cloud for storage.
I was addressing OP's suggestion that RMS is the authority on "Open Source" (which was the question further up the thread). He'd rather have you use/contribute (to) Free software instead.
>> The right to take my code, profit from it and not share back is essentially what the OSI stands for and is thus not respected by me.

Nope. You are so very wrong here. The OSI defines open source so that licenses comply with the terms... that's all. They don't have any other agenda, period. Stating so shows a complete lack of understanding OSS and the OSI.

As usual, Matt Levine provides great comments on this: https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/view/articles/2018-10-16/carl-... (second section)
Sorry but I can’t see this as anything but akin to a victim-blaming argument.
Of course it's true. Google doesn't pay companies that developed open source software that Google now relies on. That's exactly how open source works. Google helps "open source" in general by releasing and funding open source projects. But Google doesn't pay companies that build useful open source software in the first place, to use their software.
Just to be pedantic, a commit is actually "the state of the repo after said changes" plus "the commit(s) before said changes" (which allows one to recover the "set of changes" by comparing the before/after states).
I’ve just started out in a niche that I thought richer than average, and I charge less than a third of that.

Where have you seen people charging that much?
You cannot abridge freedom of expression without an amendment. Nor can you abridge freedom of computation.

You should perhaps instead endeavor to strike down anti-mask laws as being contrary to existing freedoms. The logical counter to automated facial recognition technology is facial concealment practices. It is the least harmful to liberty.

Alternatively, we could all wear--with our masks on--t-shirts with other people's faces printed onto them (especially Batman's face). And we can, of course, ban the government from using facial recognition technology without a specific, limited reason for doing so.

Just because I can record you from my porch and identify your face as appearing often, doesn't mean I would be able to tie that image in to a compulsory national identity database with facial photograph data included. Individuals might instead be able to identify a face as "John Doe #154" on their own server, and maybe match it to "YourMetroArea Serial Package Thief #15" on neighborhood-watch.net . Maybe I can set up an alert if any of the shared criminal faces show up and get recognized, or I can voluntarily forward my video to the cops when an incident actually happens. Giving cops unrestricted access to everyone's raw feeds is a bad, bad, bad idea. You bring in the cops only when it is apparent that a crime has been committed, an identifiable individual is responsible, and there is now a tangible reason to deanonymize the culprit.

Who's not allowed to use it?
None of OSI's Open Source licenses (including AGPL) protect creators financial interest in the cloud first world. Period.

I want to issue "View and Internal Use License" for my work. Anyone can view the source code, modify, and use the software for their own benefit as they see fit. Under no circumstances can anyone sell/re-distribute/host the paid version of software or any derivative thereof. Why can't OSI create such a license?

I understand the spirit of OSI is to foster more usage of open source software. I admire it. But probably a LOT of open source software is not getting built in the world because it's not possible for everyone to spend few months/years of their prime without any financial outcome (not even a possibility of it).

I'm a developer who spent 3 FULL days reading up licenses for my indie project [1] that I aim to make some money with. Not even a single license was adequate to protect me from large teams/companies if the software were to become popular. I resorted to only open sourcing a required critical library [2].

The scooters and bikes are a complete nuisance in my city. The companies littered almost every intersection with 4-8 scooters. I don't see the bikes as much anymore, other than stolen ones that every homeless person seems to have now. I have seen a total of 3 people riding the scooters ever. They are often tipped over into the sidewalk or into the bike lane or roadway. You can go into certain parts of town and it literally looks like all sidewalk space has been surrended to parking lots for these bikes and scooters.

Presumably, like every other GitHub feature, the people paying for GitHub pay for it, free users get it as part of the ecosystem building promotion that the free tier provides to bring in paying (not purely public/OSS, team features) customers, with the assumption that the surplus on the paid accounts will, over the log term if not immediately, cover the cost of the free use.

Or they’ll make it a separately charged feature once they evaluate demand and usage in the beta, but AFAIK that would be new for GitHub.

This is ridiculous.

Individuals may be trying to take advantage of it, but don't throw everything out because of a couple rotten actors (that you perceive).
Okay, pedantry... If you want to be specific: https://opensource.com/article/18/2/coining-term-open-source...

But it was done coincidentally with the discussions that ultimately led to the OSI and the OSD.

Toys R Us bankruptcy auction canceled, brand set for revival
Google has released roughly every meaningful patch it has made to the open source software it was built on.

Chrome or Android seem like good counterexamples, where the software that most people use (Chrome, or Android + Google Experience) is specifically kept in two separate buckets, open source and closed source, so that Google can strategically keep some parts open and some parts closed.
Ok so I'm not following the argument that this is for "mass surveillance" as if this is some gov't intrusion. I understand you might not want to be recorded walking through my neighborhood but hear me out...

I have several ring cams and their home security system, I'm also part of "ring neighborhoods". I live in a city with a lot of home break ins (we're number 11 in the US for robberies). With the neighborhoods feature I get alerts from my neighbors when they share videos from their ring cams. I haven't yet shared anything but I do comment on shared videos. I have an entirely different camera system on my property which records everything that happens outside my home because I have that right in this state. What I don't understand about this is how is me sharing video clips from my secondary camera system any different than this portal for ring neighborhoods?

I'm not seeing the problem here.

Lets take it to the extreme...

Assuming every home in my neighborhood had ring cams, and you wandered on to someone's personal property, and you were recorded, and they chose to share that video, why is that a problem? This is individual property owners choosing to surveil their property and share that video. We have that right.

Furthermore I hope ring is indexing the faces. There's several videos from my neighborhood of people casing homes. They ring the doorbell and when they see no one is home they jiggle the door handle (criminals are stupid, there's a Ring cam right there). Thieves have been recorded breaking into cars and homes but police struggle to identify the individuals. How is us, as home owners and renters, banding together to identify criminals in our neighborhood and willingly sharing that data with police a problem?

I'm confused.
Im assuming you are referring to this video?

The EU doesn't have American style antitrust law that only kicks in and places restrictions on allowable behavior when you have a large enough monopoly.

The EU has competition law that places restrictions on how you can behave as soon as you have a 40% share of a given market.

Under EU competition law, once you have that 40% market share in one area, you may not use that market share as a weapon against competitors in other areas.
I'm afraid of this because I don't think the execution matches the marketing. Sites like Ars Technica are wooing users into their subscriptions by promising that they will not track you and they will not show you ads, but then if you read their actual privacy policy they state very clearly that they sell their subscriber list to 3rd parties, including any advertising company that wants it.

I do own an iphone and I think they're 10x better (or more) than google at privacy but it's clear that they still do slurp way too much data. I get it, they're not intentionally selling it to 3rd parties but I'd rather they didn't take it in the first place. Do they really need to record all my app store searches? All my "news app" views? Can I please just opt out of that altogether?
> Leveraging strong market position in one market, say search/advertising, to undercut prices in a completely different market is clear-cut anti-competitive behavior.

Is it less clear how monopoly rules work if the price is "free?" If a company can offer a service for free by supplementing the cost with bundling (in a market where the going rate is "free") vs. not offering it at all, I'm not sure that's considered the same by US monopoly law (I have no idea of EU monopoly law).

More like replace Atlassian Bamboo. I've had traumatic experiences with sleek CIs. To me it's like the Scratch "programming language". Good for beginners, and then you find yourself wanting to copy/paste your workflow or make any sort of involved change and having to rewrite everything in a Jenkinsfile.

Now, I'd like to be wrong. But I doubt a UI can get close to plain text for this kind of thing, it's just very difficult for software to translate boxes into code.

Until then, there's a reason our tooling is text-based to this day.

We've been there (although, in case of OT). When implementing CKEditor 5, we started with a linear model and just a couple type of operations (the usual set). At that time, we weren't able to transform that linear model to a tree model because conflict resolution based on that simple set of operations was too dumb. As I mentioned in the other comment about CRDT vs OT, we'd still consider having a linear + tree model duet, but so far it's purely theoretical discussion whether it has a chance to work.

Workflow languages are programming languages. I'd be really interested to know if 1) there's a textual representation of the visual workflow design that you can easily export/import, and 2) the syntax and semantics of the language. I've seen a _lot_ of visual workflow editors which have a tendency towards limited expressiveness; there seems to be a major disconnect between the worlds of workflow authoring and programming.

I noticed that they provide the ability to specify a Dockerfile which contains the necessary facilities to run arbitrary code. But I can't help but think there has to be a middle ground between the two. I've written about this in the past, arguing that applying concepts from traditional programming language theory (in particular functional programming) to the design of workflow languages can be fruitful.

That is true - the OSI didn't coin it. But Bruce Perens of the OSI trademarked Open Source with the definition as the rules to apply it.

I think that basically puts to rest the question of who "owns" Open Source.
Yep. And back in the 1970's Chuck Moore wrote a book describing the implementation and design of FORTH, and it is pretty close to LISP. And I asked Chuck Moore directly, in person, if there was a connection to LISP, and he said "yes".
