If you define working as "encouraging drivers to drive in a more disengaged state, while at the same time adding additional sources of hazard or malfunction for both the disengaged driver, and other motorists to be alert for", then I got nothing that'll seemingly convince you, as it appears we'd be arguing right past each other.

Do. No. Harm. It isn't just for Doctors. You can't sit on the positivist side of the fence and say, "Bah, it'll never happen."

It always does. When the cost is lives, you don't mess around or skimp. Closer to Perfection over pretty good is 100% justifiable in safety critical applications. In many cases, critical systems are redundantly reinforced.

Look up risk compensation to understand why a half-baked solution is almost guaranteed to be worse. If you are still relying on the human to compensate for failures in a system in an environment where response time to live is measured in seconds, you might as well just have them being alert and engaged at all times with as few things to have to compensate for malfunctioning as possible.

Another somewhat tangential demonstration of this is observable in nuclear reactor design, and utilising delayed fission product neutrons to attain criticality. This slows down the timescale over which things can go horribly wrong to the scale of minutes instead of seconds that would make avoiding prompt criticality highly problematic.
Not to mention the fact that good sleep hygiene provides immediate payoffs as well. The single best thing I have done for my health was giving myself the gift of a regular sleep schedule and sticking to it. I perform better in every aspect of my life. Even if I feel like I have less time than I did before, I feel much better every day than I did when I was getting < 7 hours of sleep every day.
The individual approach is part of the divide and conquer method used as a defensive of the capitalistic system.
Yep, we are right at the middle of that craze. A group of buzz makers tries to steal the glory from the real titans under disguise of so called disruption. All without delivering the real value, but with tons of religious preaching.

The computing industry probably reached the levels of Hollywood in 1930s where every Joe and Mary were going to make it. It clearly is a fad, but at the same time we have to face the fact that computing industry had become more mature.

As a result, it started to absorb wider areas and masses of people. While the "preaching fad" will certainly fade away, we have to deal with increased technological segregation caused but the massive influx.
I don't think that is the message of Odysseus at all. Story and its characters (including Odysseus himself) are way more nuanced then that. It is definitely not the simple cheap good guy wins the day story. And I also think that poem ending is more ambiguous - while it is clear that killing suitors is ok, the killing slave girls is less so.
Mercurial doesn't have branches, right? That drove me bonkers when I was doing a bit of contract work after having used git for awhile.

> I'm consider something more radical like a YUMMY license (you make money, I make money)

There are some projects to create such a license like License Zero

https://licensezero.com/licenses

and there is some discussion on the P2P Foundation:

https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Copyfarleft

> It is exactly the same as (CC) non-commercial, except that commons-based commercial use //is// allowed.
My teammate, Tim, put together this guide of tips for creating a simple and useful dashboard. We've been working on this new site/team putting together helpful articles for business users to learn about using data for work. Comments welcome!
I meant people seem to install the server too, thinking that the server itself it free. Most of MongoDB tutorials on the internet starts with "how to install locally" without mentioning nothing about the license.
These are the kind of specimen pages that Google should be showing on Google Fonts. Love that it breaks down ligatures, ordinals, and special characters like arrows.

Look, here is the deal with Lisp. It shows you the data structure of your computer program and lets you operate on it and that is neat. But it's not useful for actual work because the way you manipulate it makes it hard for you to understand what is happening without knowing all the ways your code is being manipulated. I have to write lisp for my editor (emacs) and I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. The syntax is hard to read quickly because it's cluttered and (usually) nest-y.

If you're willing to trade complete purity away, try Ruby. It's basically everything you want from Lisp without the mess. Give up purity, get comprehensibility.

Blocks are a really great way of doing things. You can even investigate the block source code as a string if you really want to.

Dynamic method definition is well supported and predictable. Data structures are easy to compose and operate on. It's basically all the power but in a more comprehensible way. There's a reason why Rails came out of Ruby. It's naturally powerful.
IANAL either but just to be pedantic, in theory I don't see what stops them from no longer distributing old versions under AGPLv3. Having distributed it at one point under GPL doesn't force them to continue doing so forever.

Of course that would be pointless as anyone who forked before the license change could continue re-distributing under AGPLv3.

It's funny and sad that XMPP hits almost all of the points, has been around since 1999 and yet every year someone reinvents the wheel and makes another messenger system. There are what, about 60+ by now.

Granted XMPP is not a messenger it's a protocol and a bunch of standards but still it's hard not to laugh.

Seems like you just wanted to excuse to talk about how stupid people and barbarism are the only reason we still have religion. There’s a less obnoxious version of that argument I tend to agree with, but I don’t see how it’s relevant here. Can’t we have a nice thread talking about the importance of stories and how they transcend time without turning it into a political shit-flinging contest?

(That said, the equivalence the other poster is suggesting is stupid.)
Yes. Government, even moreso local governement, is supposed to be subject and an expression of the will of the people. The multinational corporation is barely so.

When the company screws you over, you'll have no recourse. This is the libertarian dream.
What really should happen is that the large cloud companies (really just Google, Amazon, and Azure) should be providing a portion of the revenue generated to the open source projects. The open source companies would make more features and drive more usage. Everybody wins. It makes no sense that the large cloud providers make billions off OSS, and don't give something more sustainable back. Classic tragedy of the commons.

Disclaimer: My company Storj is building a distributed Amazon S3 competitor and we are actually partnered with MongoDB. We share revenue with MongoDB for any customers they bring us.
> As I previously tweeted, Sergey Brin is a notable exception to this temptation, and he is reported to be the reason that Google left China in 2010

Dear digital spin doctors of HN,

It must be a drag to practice those dark arts of digital public manipulation in secret all the time. So c'mon, make some public predictions with a throwaway and let us follow along at home!

But the companies that shepherd and develop the open source software and let the community use it for free has to be supported somehow. So unless the cloud companies want to fund these companies and thereby fund the developers of the open source software directly then these kinds of licenses make sense.
Congratulations to the Sendgrid team. We've been very happy with the service. Sending emails is not our core competency and with Sendgrid we don't have to worry about deliver ability. If I ever get around to hosting my personal email I would definitely use them for SMTP so that I can focus on having my inbox under my control. The free tier is 100 outbound emails a day which is more than enough for me.
> I wouldn't agree, at any given time there is a lot of disagreement and non-consensus in given fields.

That's precisely my point. The act of presenting and refining research IS the act of building that consensus.

My statement here is not a novel thought. It's pretty much the modern philosophy of science for over a decade.

> So we need to new research to gather additional evidence.

This is simply data gathering though. Every approach starts here. I'm not sure why you suggest that people using Bayesian approaches to analysis are somehow forbidden from being informed by data (or informing priors by data).

That's exactly the same process folks use when selecting non-bayesian models. They don't spring from absolute truth, they're selected as well.

> If every research paper tried to argue for a particular prior and posterior

Given the replication crisis that's in part due to mis-application of existing models along with a lack of rigor in data collection, having research focus more tightly on the methodology for presenting data and conclusions doesn't seem like a bad outcome at all.
The more I learn about the Anthropocene (aka a global ecological collapse in the making), the more I think it's critical to reduce human footprint. I might consider buying some land (in France) and let nature does it thing. Would that make sense? I wouldn't be able to manage it, does anyone know if there's an organization that could manage the project for me? Perhaps a NGO to which I could donate the land, actually, with the promise to maximize its usefulness not for humans but for the biosphere as a whole?

Perhaps you're thinking of a different meaning of "branch"?
For me that was one of the great features, it didn't try to serve "hot" (new + popular) content but just random stuff you might or might not like.

I've been thinking recently about a similar service that instead of trying to find content that it thinks you'd like and relates to your current interest, it would work the opposite, just for you to find new and interesting things that are outside your normal content-bubble.

Would require a special type of user who is fine to browse through bunch of bad content to find golden nuggets.
Systems being isolated and containing encrypted communication does not mean that there are no vulnerabilities. Otherwise, TLS would be all that’s needed to secure a website.
I use Feedly now but miss Google Reader. It was a great way to follow the Internet chronologically and could have been developed much further from that point of view.

Nowadays you are supposed follow the Internet randomly, based on whatever you happen to see in social media by chance or curated by algorithms. It’s not a good way to get a balanced view.
Yeah, but how is that really supposed to work? I can see why MongoDB would want to do this, but how on earth is this really supposed to be implemented? Where do you draw the line? What I suspect is that you'll end up with a bunch of shell scripts for creating MongoDB instances...
How did you evaluate your posture? Did you hire a trainer?
Git is very easy to use, right up to the moment when it really really is not.
Oh yeah ok. I'm talking about academic writing. I'm sure some academics' work will always be read, whether because they're well known, do good work, are active in communities etc. However when a large chunk of publications are never even cited, it's not a good idea (imo) to make your papers read like a mystery novel. "I can't wait to get to the end to see how many fractions of a % they increased precision by!"
We’re talking about a situation in which the customer already knows they want to go to city B. If they’re being truthful up front, city B is the destination they’ll be putting in the destination box when searching for tickets, and they will get a routing to that destination without any additional segments when they do so (assuming, of course, that the route is possible).
Kickass Torrents was really good too for public, there doesn't seem to be anything else like it out now.

I guess they could get injunctions to shut them down in places like the eu and us (basically blocking them, or getting fines).

I've no idea if this is easy or not but it could be used as a negotiation tactic (I'm guessing here) to negotiate a license deal.
People weren't "testing the boundaries" of AGPL. You need to know nearly nothing about AGPL to understand this. The bottom line is, AGPL merely requires you to publish your modifications. But if cloud providers are offering essentially a vanilla MongoDB instance, there is no reason they are compelled to buy a commercial license.

Still, I wonder where MongoDB actually wants the boundary drawn. Anyone that tries to offer the MongoDB protocol as a service using the official code? Or is it if I provide a database interface to a MongoDB instance? Or is it only if the actual MongoDB interface from the MongoDB server is provided? I haven't read their new license but I have a strong feeling that it won't be 100% clear yet.

I'd like annotations to be the way forward for the web.

Just as a thought experiment, this comment I'm making.

Where does it go to live permanently? Why is all this typing I'm doing ephemeral on my computer?

Why can I make comments all over the web and it's very likely I have no way of tracking the fact that I made the comment longer term (even if I spend 30 minutes typing some instructions or help for example).

No regular way of hearing responses to it?

No solid way of copying it or morphing it for another output other then laboriously (possibly having to google my own comment) finding it on the original site (which was it?) etc.

Why can't I search my own comments over time?

==Hint: This is not a plea for yet another flakey web service==

I think most of the lessons from foundational stories are so internalised now that they seem stupidly obvious. To take your example of the sirens, why is that idea one that we resonate with? Because it's valuable as a metaphor and an archetypal example: we even use the term directly (ie. "siren song") to refer to real-life instances of the archetype. Other concepts that refer to the same archetype are the idea of no free lunch, if it's too good to be true then it probably is, and so on.

These archetypes are compounded lessons that we've absorbed culturally for millennia, and continue to reflect on via our own recreations in the various arts.

They could just claim that their orchestration software is open-source (potentially w/o stating what it is), or just publish a stub set of scripts that plausibly work but that aren't actually used under the hood. I'm not sure this really makes things all that much clearer.

It's going to be different for everyone, probably. For me, it was always stuff around networking, systems administration, DB administration, and compiling/linking.

A tiny example might be something that uses a symlink or, worse, is hard-linked from multiple places. A newbie might not even know that such things are possible; and if you don't point it out or use the terms, they can end up be horribly confused.

That's just concatenating the files together and relying on the zip extractor to ignore the PNG part of the file, rather different than actually embedding it in the image data itself.

>I strongly believe that 80% of the current users of git would be better off with mercurial.

I concur. I was in a team that needed to migrate away from SVN. I was already privately using mercurial while in the team. Jumping to git was too much for them in complexity. I tried convincing them that mercurial will give them almost all the benefits without the (needless) complexity, but they wouldn't listen and ended up using TFS.

We have designed and implemented own scalable blockchain implementation, which we use to keep track of bandwidth transfers over time.
