In the US, a reasonable person test is meaningless without a body of precedent setting cases.

If the language of a new law uses it with regards to a new technology, then no one can be sure what the courts will decide.

It may be different in the EU, as the legal system is quite different.
I think they'd be better off just offering the computer and screen only in tablet form. Have a case that let's you adjust the viewing angle. BYO keyboard & mouse via USB. I much rather do that...
That didn't work very well for Windows 10.
I wouldn't take this as the path to success. You are in a very different industry than I have ever worked in. I do have some ideas for you to consider.

- Add a share button. Freeware gets a watermark, paid gets the clean image. Integrate with twitter, facebook, and instagram to make posts.

- Rebrand the application to something more artsy sounding. I now have three tabs open that say "Grid Generator" and it sounds like an engineer tool, while the application runs like an art tool.

- Hows the tablet experience? I would focus on desktop and tablets more than mobile. I think this application would lend itself to larger screens than cell phones have.

- Run a subreddit for people to share their work.

- Server costs for the export engine can be lowered by using AWS lambda to provide on demand computing. Implementing this can range from easy to difficult depending on which language the engine is written in.

If you want to reach out to me more about this subject you can find an email address in my profile. Good luck to you!
When you use AWS you're subjected to AWS pricing and AWS servers. A more open network where everyone can offer computing power has the potential to reduce the lock-in effect that all the big cloud vendors force upon their customers.

The initial goal of Golem was to be so efficient that the best way for big cloud vendors to offer their services would be through the Golem platform. That's obviously a moonshot, but it helps us to see what the Golem team is aiming for.

Have you seen this npm package?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/serverless-offline

I have no idea if this exists for other languages but its what lets me develop and test my functions locally before deploying them to stage/live.

Edit: they have some good examples - https://github.com/serverless/examples/tree/master/aws-node-...
As someone who has studied and mastered Classical Latin and several Romance languages, as well as studied and learned some (but not mastered) MSA as well as an Arabic dialect, I disagree with that assessment, at least to some extent:

Golden Age Latin is incredibly far removed from modern Romance languages. Even a Sardinian or Romanian (said to be the closest Romance languages to Latin) requires years of study to learn to fluently read Golden Age Latin. Vulgar Latin, on the other hand, is much closer to the modern Romance languages. An educated modern Italian or Sardinian could learn to read Vulgar Latin fairly quickly (and sometimes they do know it, from reading the Vulgate Bible).

I'd say the difference between MSA and the North African dialects of Arabic is tantamount to the difference between modern Romance languages and Golden Age Latin. But the difference between MSA and Levantine Arabic is less, and more akin to the gap between Vulgar Latin and Romance languages.

Overall, I'd say the MSA/dialects + Latin/Romance languages is a great analogy.
'The idea of buying a car and being afraid to modify it because of how the manufacturer might react feels entirely dystopian to me'
That is exactly where we have been going. for years if you remove the plastic engine cover on Porsches you risk voiding your rights. Now we have the capability of cars that phone home with unauthorized mods being made illegal at the DMV, made illegible for sw updates etc etc. This is another area where our digital rights to privacy and ownership are under serious assault, much like smart phone OS bricking. You own it but you don't have any rights.
But it's "serverless", how could it go down?

(and I say this as someone that runs a web app built on the Serverless platform that I'm quite happy with - I just think it's a dumb name)

-> I chose CS mainly because I’ve always been interested in tech but just let’s just say in the “consumer-oriented” aspect of it, never really having acquired a useful skill throughout all the years I’ve spent in front of a PC being an introvert in HS, other than I guess ENG. And so, during my 1st semester I failed all of my finals.

Have you ever thought of something else for your job?

I mainly followed some videos on Youtube for the X61/62 like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcaMFkd_xSY (this one is for the X220). The X220 is a bit easier since there is a big community following for the HD mod [1]. I'm pretty sure the HD mod started from nitrocaster.

> Having multiple versions of dependency libraries was a pain on DOS

DOS didn't even have the concept of a dependency being separate from the application, so i'm not sure what you're trying to say. MacOS classic also didn't. Windows didn't either, really, until DLLs became a fad and ushered in the era of DLL hell.

> If you really like the filesystem layout of Windows, just use Windows. If you really like `exe` files, just use Windows. I don't see the problem.

I don't particularly like the way Windows works these days because it is becoming more like UNIX, and installers certainly aren't a great idea but I still prefer them to package managers.

There's no problem, I'm Just expressing an opinion about package management, same as you. If the Linux community doesn't agree, and they've made it quite clear that they don't, then that's fine and I'll just continue not to use their OS like most people.
I don't see anything in either the Daily News article or the report it links to that directly connects Amazon to "mega-million dollar sales efforts, products specifically targeted for the government surveillance audience, and company participation in training."
This is awesome but it would've been nice to see 10%, something like a tithe for the company's building blocks
And then what? The owner of the code is entitled to license the software as they want it [1]. If you dislike the license, then use a different program or fork the last version before the license change.

I can fully understand the frustration of pro-copyleft developers and companies that want to use copyleft for a 'share or pay model'. Cloud computing makes existing licenses toothless by moving the software from the client to the server, thereby avoiding distribution. It can be argued that such use is not in the spirit of copyleft and is effectively a loophole from the perspective of copyleft licensing.

It is not surprising that people try to make new copyleft licenses that fill that loophole. This may not be the best formulation, but it is definitely much better than the Commons Clause nonsense that was hyped a couple of weeks ago (which makes software proprietary).

[1] Whether it is enforceable is another issue.
Upvoted the main article to reveal to the world why I'm not convinced on this serverless hype.

It cause a lot of issues on their side but the customer blame the server.

I've heard a story that web-based game not working for some people for no apparent reason.

The developer used their psychic power and change the file name of image files which was something like "foo_ads_bar.png"(the user supplied error log indicated they faild to fetch that resources which shouldn't happen) to not contains the "ads". And he got less bug report.

The image file was not AD but a essential resource for the web-based game. Blocking that, you break the game implementation.

Blanket blocking based on partial three-letter string match on client side? Fine do what you want. It's your computer after all. But don't come toward us crying for help because it's non of our problem.
But the whole idea is that once a closure implements an interface its internal state is strongly isolated behind the abstraction barrier of the interface and no one knows or cares whatever state it has, if any. It is very CS 101.

Your cow example is a good one.

I would argue that there is no farm. The independent behavior of independent agents does create the emergent phenomenon of capitalism. However, this phenomenon does not express will or intent. Saying that Capitalism wants you to you wake up earlier is not equivalent to saying that the farmer wants the cow produce more milk.

When people say things like this, they are lumping together their undesired extrensic motivations and others' expectations of them into a big mental ball of "things I have to do, don't want to, and capitalism makes me do," and calling it Capitalism.
We do give credit in the licenses file. The reason we don't mention it on the site yet is because Relica currently ships with rclone but we do not use it, yet. We will be using it once we flip the switch to activate some new features soon!

We've also made a few contributions to rclone and restic so all the work we do on open source projects is available upstream to the main project's users.
Show me an implementation that doesn't have these problems, because I've yet to see one. That's not surprising though, since once you've solved these problems you don't need a package manager.

Not quite—if you offer MongoDB itself as a service, then yes. If you just use it on the backend, no.

(Read the license and consult your lawyer for details, of course.)
Total Annihilation had background music respond to the in-game situation.
No. If you take MongoDB and offer it as SaaS, the additional software that's part of your offering, such as monitoring, backup solutions, etc, have to be open-sourced, or you have to make their code available (since the chair of OSI defines what's open source).
I cringe every time I read serverless, what exactly is that supposed to convey? That the code is so ephemeral that it doesn't even exist, or does the code execute on a higher plane of existence without the need for lowly hardware and dirty power?

Furthermore, I fail to see what real world problems this architecture solves. It seems to offer rapid horizontal scaling at the cost of complexity, performance, and vendor lock-in.

Logic in many cases is preferable to memorization. Not only you need to memorize less upfront, you can expect new additions to follow it, and not need to memorize much to start using them.

Compare how easy it is to pick up e.g. Spanish writing vs English writing vs Chinese writing, assuming that you already can speak it.
I really hope that the website itself is running serverless on AWS, because that would be a great learning opportunity!

It's quite easy and common to wreck a database when you have it hooked up to serverless infrastructure. Depending on the DB, there can be a significant amount of overhead for each client connection. Postgres is particularly bad at this, since it spawns an entire process for each client that connects. This is why connection pooling is so important for applications.

Serverless is a different beast tho; every function is isolated, so having a client pool is much harder/impossible. If you get a flood of traffic, and your function interacts with a DB, you suddenly have a ton of non-multiplexed client connections, which is all it takes to bring many databases to their knees.

If this is a serverless website, I can't wait for the author's next article, describing this issue and how they addressed it. If it's not serverless... add a client pool.
I only have a Volt and it's used commonly on the Volt forums and what not, so I'd say yes.
Requiring a review before release requires a rather large change to how the current system works, adding more centralization, and slows down how quickly new threats can be blocked. This event took two days to notice and be changed, and that's for a list with a relatively low amount of users. The current method seems fine.
My last comment as I really don't like to talk about politics on HN.

Speaking from an immigrant family - there are lot of procedures to formally migrate into the US. You need an immigrant visa for starters and this is not easy to get - you can be rejected for several reasons and need to reapply. Then you need to work towards getting a green card for at-least 5 years. There is a waiting list. You may not get your card for more than a decade - sometimes even 20 years!. So I do not understand what you mean by "99% of the population, there is NO queue to wait in". That doesn't make any sense to me at all. The only way there would be no queue if you hop the border and claim false refugee status. For folks who have had a long, long road to legal immigration into the states, this is very bitter pill.

About Donald Trump - it obvious that he is a closed border/anti-immigrant politician. Thats the plank he ran on for office. His one misleading quote is offset by thousands/ten-thousands of his other statements in favour of reduced immigration.

About a future world without borders - only possible when world-wide legal frameworks are in place, common law enforcement, similar systems of government and world-wide elections.

Cool, Perl6 gained a native context-free parser. Yeah, that gets it in the league, I would have to compare it with Python parser libraries to decide what's better.

But not, Haskell and Prolog are still leaders here, with Haskell currently having the lead.

FWIW: just over half of Latacora uses Qubes on a daily basis. We do that because "Xen VM" is a pretty great boundary; it allows me to have totally separate client environments with the convenience of a single laptop. (We've had a client have us use their endpoint before; while I generally like that client, we won't be doing that again :-))

It's not flawless. Sometimes switching to a big screen or moving USB devices between VMs is wonky... but the bottom line is I haven't booted my MacBook Pro for work in 2018. We stopped using MBPs because the then-current now one-minor-rev old generation is trash; all of them broke, and that was unacceptable, so I have a Lenovo (again).

Happy to answer questions about Qubes.

FWIW: not worried about Qubes' future. As Joanna herself points out in the blog post: Marek has been doing most of the technical day to day stuff for a while now, and Qubes has been doing just fine. I'm really thankful for the work Joanna has done in making Qubes happen and hope her new endeavors are everything she wants them to be :)
So the summary is that waking up early is bad if you skimp on sleep to do it? Duh. And you're serving your corporate overlords by doing so? Oooookay.

Waking up early serves me, my employer doesn't care what time I come in. But traffic is a hell of a lot easier at 7:00 than it is at even 10:00. And I get to go home at 3:30. And then I go to bed at a decent hour so I can get my sleep.
Thanks for the comments! As you can see why, we don't recommend using file sync software for backups. Relica can handle symlinks just fine: it preserves them, not follows them.

Restore works well also, it just runs in the background. Pretty simple right now, but we're actively participating in contributing to restic to make restores more interactive in the sense of progress reporting. We are not focusing on screenshots right now so we can revamp the UI, and we have some good ideas for restores, so you'll see it changing here in the next few months.

Anyway, we'd love for you to give it a try! Feel free to email us with any other feedback.
Quick summary:

1) It is problematic to use copyright infringement as a hammer to force people to release/relicense code that is not related to the copyrighted code. (That's the "misuse" bit)

2) If you try to do this via contract, there are lots of practical difficulties associated with actually releasing the code - the biggest of which is that you probably don't own all the code you would be required to release. (That's the "impracticability" bit)
It makes more sense to prevent speeding by limiting max speed. And it would be a life saving change. I hope it happens sometimes.

That's a pretty apples-and-oranges comparison. That's a company making ridiculous promises (look ma, no external power input!) and without any third-party verification. This is a company that makes realistic claims (i.e. has actual numbers for power input per liter of water) and whose performance has been verified by the prize-awarding organization.

"They're illegal" is neither true nor sufficient.

ICE and CBP have also repeatedly detained, denied entry to, or generally harassed people who are in full compliance with immigration law. That has included lawful applicants for asylum or refugee status, lawful permanent residents, and even US citizens. That's all besides the fact that being legal doesn't make something moral, consistent with national ideals, or economically wise. Or that unnecessarily cruel enforcement of a law is still a crime in its own right.
That's part of the "balancing test", which is one of the three tests mentioned in the article. It's definitely not sufficient to show your data processing fits the legitimate interest basis.

Golem has the potential to solve the Cloud Trustworthiness problem, and it's an interesting problem one with huge upside if it we ever get there. How do we verify that the the code we're running (e.g. the VPN we have set up on a VPS in the cloud, or the web server we're connecting to) is actually running the code it says it's running?

Ethereum can do that (because it's just one giant computer running the same code and verifying it's state after every functional call), it's just really, really slow and insanely expensive. Perhaps they'll figure this out, if they do, it will be awesome.
I think the ethics depend heavily on when a flaw was discovered.

If this person knew of a flaw when at Apple, and did not disclose it to Apple (his employer), but instead left to go exploit it--that would be clearly unethical and possibly even illegal.

But if they left, and then, as an ex-employee of Apple, discovered a new flaw in Apple's security... how are they any different from a random person who never worked at Apple?

Do security researchers have a general ethical obligation to disclose a product's security flaws to the company who created it? I think most security researchers would say no... the obligation is more rightly put on the company itself to produce secure products.

Company managers don't generally have an ethical obligation to their ex-employees after the employment period ends. It doesn't seem fair to say that ex-employees should be obligated toward their former employer. The exception would be if they acted unethically while employed there and then reaped the benefits later.

Or look at it this way--imagine an employee of GrayKey went to Apple, and then learned how Apple is defeating GrayKey. Does that employee have an ethical obligation to tell GrayKey about that? If ethics don't work the same in both directions, they're probably not strong ethics.

That is, unless there is some higher moral at stake, like "breaking security is always wrong." But even that is problematic because if you never try to break security, it never gets better.
