This uncertainty and confusion is by design and the whole point of this license. It's designed to make people who are not lawyers consider getting a commercial license just to avoid the potential for legal headaches that may or not materialize.

I doubt it will work since many people will indeed not want to deal with companies that are dangling legal threats over their own users like this. IMHO there's no other way to interpret this than as exactly that: a user hostile move. Whether this thing is enforceable or not is beside the point.

No.

I am saying that what nationalists call 'social upheaval' is often against the law and therefore not rightful. So if you are using the established democratic processes (voting, demonstrating, etc.) to change the political situation that is okay. But if you do so forcefully, that is most likely not okay (depending on the law of the country you live in).
What is freeloading? MongoDB is building a project off the works of others and selling it. So am I. If you're employed, so are you. And in return, hopefully we all contribute back to that ecosystem so that the next person can build off our new work.

You say "freeloading". I say "participating in a rich culture of shared work". Maybe I don't contribute all my local work to Emacs upstream, but I push out a lot of Python stuff. Maybe you don't bother sharing all the Python tweaks you've made, but you're an active Vim contributor. Perhaps there's someone else that's a Vim "freeloader" but who cranks out a lot of kernel code that you and I both benefit from. I think that's a healthy, mutually-beneficial arrangement.
> we live in a country of laws and rules.

Isn't "innocent until proven guilty" one of those rules? And aren't "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" supposed to be inalienable human rights? Do you suppose the people who wrote that believed that these "self-evident truths" only applied to people born in a country that didn't exist yet?

> If an Immigrant comes here without proper authorization, without a visa, or stays on an expired visa

There you go again, pretending that ICE/CBP never bother anybody who's here legally. That's just not reality, and the cases where they overstep their own legal bounds are the ones that are most relevant here. We are a country of laws and rules, with nobody above those, right?

Slightly tangential, but regarding the definition of "natural," I personally prefer to think in terms of concentrates. The chemicals in question exist in nature in many cases, or at least there is a similar naturally occurring compound. The main thing that I think makes a useful distinction is the concentration level. Like other drugs, the danger is in the dose, and the extreme levels of potency we can get with a little chemistry is what makes them "natural" or "synthetic" in my opinion (regardless of their actual origin). I'm more cautious accepting highly concentrated substances than I am accepting the same thing diluted with the thousands of other naturally occurring substances that accompany it "in the wild."

What's the difference between "compete on more level terms with the state of hosted solutions like WIX, Weebly, Squarespace who offer increasingly simple visual building experiences" and "solve problems for users". If there is something that is making people choose WIX/Weebly/Squarespace, isn't that something precisely: a problem that those things solve and default wordpress (currently) doesn't?

Ask HN: How to set up two salespeople in the same area?
Let's suppose there's a company is closing medium size enterprise deals. This company knows exactly what it's doing, how to sell, who they need to target, how to target them etc.
This company has more leads than the capacity to handle them by the in-field salespeople.

I saw that there's a big aversion from the sales side on to setting up more than one person with the same area. They are afraid that the other one will take good leads. They are scared that they will close all the leads, and lose their jobs.

From the company point of view, it's making no sense. It's obvious that it's better to close all the deals fast. Or is there something that I don't see?

How good/big/fast companies are handling this issue?

The major providers also “gave up” on SRV records for HTTP/2, but that does not make it a bad idea – on the contrary, SRV for HTTP would be a good idea for the rest of us. But not for Google, since not having it cements their position.

> But in the long term, DNS is going to get factored out of domain verification entirely. CAs will eventually (who knows how long it will take, even though the protocols are there) just verify domains directly with registrars using something built on RDAP.

Get back to me when that actually happens, or looks likely to ever happen. Last I heard, the proposed replacement of WHOIS with RDAP has been put on very thick ice, and it is uncertain what will actually happen.

> It's hard to see the justification for rolling out [DNSSEC] (…)

In my world, that ship has long sailed. DNSSEC is fully rolled out. I work for a domain name registrar, and more than 30% of all the domains we manage are DNSSEC signed, and we could easily sign another 30% if we wanted to.

DNSSEC has long been rolled out. It’s too late to argue that it shouldn’t be.

Yeah, no. There's talks of Blizzard for instance dropping support for Mac. Dice has a blog post that's messaging concern. It looks like a bunch of engines are going to limp on MoltenVK which kind or imposes a weird impedance mismatch and gives weird perf issues soemtimes that you probs wouldn't see with a native Metal backend.

And that's before getting into the release of Metal 2. There's a non zero amount of work to support it, and it's not clear how long Apple is going to support Metal 1.

And all of that is before all sorts of other crazy stuff with Apple changing their app signing requirements, messaging that they're going to require all apps to be signed by Apple in some future macOS release (but won't tell you when that is).

Trouble at SE/Stack overflow
TLDR Not so simple.

First, purchasing power is not considered. If wages are stagnant, but most consumer goods have gotten cheaper, then the bottom 50% with stagnant wages is capturing productivity gains.

Second, there’s no account for economic mobility. Wages for the bottom 50% are stagnant but most people don’t stay the same income all their life. There’s no account of economic mobility.

Adjusted for inflation, the US economy has more than doubled in real terms since 1975. How much of that growth has gone to the average person? According to many economists, the answer is close to zero.

First of all, the population has increased from around 200M to 325M. The inflation-adjusted economic output would have to increase by that same factor just to say the same per capita.

Pretty disappointed with their choice of winner. Using refrigeration to maintain a dewpoint means that this appliance is pretty impractical below 50% relative humidity.

Or in other words, this thing only makes water when you probably don't need water.

Blow some nice 90 deg F 20% humid air past those coils, and you'll be blowing out a lot of 80 deg F 25% humid air out on the other side, getting bupkis for actual produced water, but sucking down plenty of juice. Slow down your intake fan to almost zero, and now your water produced goes up from zero, but the slowest of trickles.

Non-lexical lifetimes [0] are scheduled to be enabled in the Rust 2018 edition, which will be the default edition as of Rust 1.31, the next release.

After that, there's still some work that can be done towards NLL, specifically some details around how borrowing across functions works when the compiler "should" know that there actually isn't a borrow. This is part of some work codenamed "Polonius" [1], which should also improve the compiler time required to apply the borrow checker's rules.

History is full of situations where people decided that the current environment is not working for them and changed them through unlawful actions. Gandhi did it, the French revolution, the USA was created by unlawful means, the civil Rights movement Al were unlawful, a lot of unlawful stuff happened in East Germany before the wall fell.

This happens when the general population decides that their leadership is not working for them anymore.

This is interesting to me because my company is right in the middle of the serverless movement. I know and work with over a dozen large companies that have moved their fairly standard micoservice-oriented architecture over to 100% serverless. Lots of people in the ops world still think this is some kind of marketing nonsense or black magic though.

Long story short, when engineering teams move to serverless, they get huge scalability benefits and essentially "squashing their stack" making team engineering velocity way faster than when they were using EC2/Kubernetes/VMs.

Imagine 10 years ago, being a LAMP stack developer. One day, you find a hosting platform lat allows you to be a much more fast/effective LAMP developer while only needing to work with M+P. This is the core benefit of serverless.

Yes, there are servers under the hood somewhere at an AWS datacenter. Yes, infrastructure still gets patched, updated, etc. Serverless is all about letting engineering team focus on building the application and making the infrastructure "not my problem".
I'm sure you've all heard Haskell programmers say that if their code compiles, you can be sure the program is correct. I'd found that hard to believe until I tried building something in Haskell: the type system lets you describe the properties of your data and behaviour. When you compile, the theorem prover inside GHC verifies that your code obeys the described properties.

This article does a good job of showing some flaws within the development experience of mainstream languages as well as showing how a typed functional languages can address them.

It does make me wonder why FP isn't more popular. Is it because of the high level of abstraction? Sure, you need to learn what a monoid, or an functor is. But once you do that, you can use the interface and behaviours described by these categories to interact with _any_ other monoid / functor, no matter who wrote it or what it achieves.
