I think the license people are looking for is not "source available for non-commercial use" but a license that makes it possible for others to fork and experiment with modifications (or simply fix some bugs), and if those modifications turn out to be useful, they can be merged right back into the original product. You're allowed to make a better mousetrap, so long as everyone else also gets to improve on your design.

The GPL makes selling improved software a bad business model, because the first sale turns any customer into a potential competitor. But you can still sell future improvements, if you have the credibility (e.g. as the creator of the software).

The AGPL does exactly the same thing, but for software you access over a network connection. The LGPL is for software you access by linking to a library.

Now that there's a new category of software you access over the network on a platform with customized support infrastructure, the SSPL was intended to provide the same effect of "every user is a potential competitor".
The Amazon book shopping experience is atrocious too, if you want to read books on say, computing, the "bestsellers" are full of junk SEO optimisation tutorial books and Minecraft trash.

Remote Working: The Untold

I think this would be pretty difficult to study since there isn't "one" vegan diet. It differs radically depending on where someone is and what they choose to eat and the complexity of food distribution. On the surface removing meat, diary and eggs from your diet is definitely better for the environment and you can easily find scientific studies to back this up. I find the problems start to arise when you take into account what kind of fats and proteins vegans are supplementing with, eg a vegan living in Scandinavia that's buying imported avocados from South America is probably having a considerable environmental impact by doing so.
Why does “replace typical car with hybrid” help at all? Does regenerative braking save that much energy?
CISSP would be a good start. That will open a lot of Federal government doors, health IT doors, etc. If you want to be a white hat at Qualcomm or compliance at Google, that's going to be pretty tough straight out of the box. The people I know in such jobs earned their way to them with a lot of hard work and now live with the sword of Damocles hanging over them.
I'm a Googler who conducts interviews.

> It is my experience that interviewers from countries with rote-learning based educational systems ask canned questions and expect regurgitated answers. Interviewers from western educational systems performed more fluid interviews(where, incidentally, I excelled).

> I do not believe Google's current interview process selects for the type of smart people they claim to want. Then again, they're now a big, not-so-benevolent corporation with lots of grunt work(i.e. maintenance, bug fixing) so maybe they just want effective robots?

I can't speak for other interviewers directly, but the company really doesn't provide any incentives to do a good job or put in a lot of thought to doing interviews.

For example, the coding questions that I ask are not that complex. They mostly involve translating a process that a non-engineer might have to deal with in everyday life into code. This minimizes any kind of selection bias -- if you're giving a general coding interview but the problem involves implementing something domain-specific, e.g. regex, then your results are biased in favor of people who have worked with regex.

I don't know if other interviewers at Google have put in that kind of thought to improving the interview experience.

> I'm fully able to admit that I just wasn't smart enough for their organization. Then again, another leading tech company loved me and stuck me on their core design team. Based on my conversations with Google's engineers during the on-site, I did not feel like I was dealing with the best and brightest, whereas at my new company I felt awed by the depth, experience and accomplishments of the team.

Don't feel so bad. The quality of engineers and managers varies a lot. I've seen some of the best and some of the worst -- there's a huge range.
I’m one of the people who has worked on this problem, and is quoted in the article. Anyone who is seriously interested in this problem may join the group[0] where most of the interested people hang out.

We’re making progress pretty rapidly at the moment. The lower bound has recently been improved (by one), and Greg Egan’s construction has been shown to be the best possible under certain conditions.

I think it’s reasonably likely – though definitely not certain – that we will have a complete solution within weeks.

I don't think it's off-topic. A grammatical error in the top of the story, especially a non-breaking-news story, is never a good look. Based on my experience in working in web and print, such mistakes are increasingly uncommon because digital publishing makes it relatively easy to tweak text right up to the second of publication -- and afterwards. It's very easy and tempting to make a quick rewording without thinking it needs another set of eyes.

Print newspapers definitely had more editors proofing your copy. But even with a completely computerized publishing system, if I wanted to make a last minute change, I still had to go through at least 2 editors. At some point, making a fix requires, well, literally "stopping the presses". Having several editors in a well-defined editing workflow was a luxury that news orgs could afford decades ago, but it was also a necessary cost to prevent any reporter from making a costly "stop the presses" last minute fix. Digital-only news orgs don't face that consequence.

In France, we have free energy market since 2010 [1], with some players [2] focusing on green energy, etc.

Diesel & gas (for cars) prices are sky-rocketting (taxes !! [3]). Not cool for people who don't have the choice to keep using their old cars (students, unemployed, etc.) but the goal is to make combustion-engine cars so expensive they become unattractive.

Cool article! The original is actually from a year and a half ago (https://www.mpg.de/11312776/lesenlernen-veraenderung-gehirn-...), curious why they published it only now in English.

One quote bothered me, however: "Hindi, one of the official languages of India, is based on Devanagari, a scripture with complex characters describing whole syllables or words rather than single letters."

This isn't entirely correct.

Devanagari:

- isn't complex. there are only 46 characters, whose strokes aren't meaningfully harder than Latin ones to write, unlike, say, Chinese where strokes can be intricate. They're typically one or two-stroke characters.

- 1:1 unambiguously maps writings to sounds, unlike English. yes, it does map to syllables. it's immediately obvious how to pronounce a word when reading it. I can't imagine them having to learn a language like English, where you have to rote memorize exceptions all the time.

- doesn't have characters that describe whole words...not sure where they got this idea. There are really short words that can be said with one syllable, but that's coincidence, like in English "a" is both a character and a word, though I wouldn't claim that letters map to words because of it.
As far as I understand this the "standard" is the XML that is being embedded inside PDF, so you need a small tool to extract the XML from the PDF and then you've got the standard XML invoice. The PDF is just for nice presentation.

I did a similar approach of using XML Stylesheets (XSL) to render the standard invoice as HTML when opened, this also looked nice.
Anecdotal, but I went vegan 3 years ago and in those 3 years, quite a few of my very close friends went vegan or vegetarian as well. It really does give me a lot of hope.

Even my parents started eating meat a lot less, basically only for big events and startet using oat milk for their coffee!

> The current state of affairs is that AWS still dominates.

Nobody is saying otherwise.

> Your claim of 45% shows that you are simply repeating what some myopic analyst has written. Talk to industry experts, and you'll see why I'm right.

This is anecdotal. Provide some verifiable source.

Does AWS not report their WorkDocs (which nobody uses, and hence less revenue) and similar revenue in their AWS revenue? Does GCP not include G-Suite revenue in their Cloud revenue? I don't see what 'game' is Microsoft playing? Are they saying they are the #1 cloud provider because of their revenue? No.

This report is not a dick measuring contest to find the best and the biggest cloud provider. This is for Microsoft to showcase to investors why they should invest in Microsoft.

It seems to have been flagged on the assumption that this is easily solved by setting some options in bootcamp. However all reports so far hint at this not being the case.

I used to have this feeling to an extent as well but I got over it. Because my coworkers are using a different editor altogether. Or a different operating system. Or a different keyboard. I can't write code productively on any other system than my own, so I just embrace that and optimize.
i selfishly don't want to take the necessary individual action where my personal cost-benefit analysis comes out negative.

for example, i could become a vegan. if i did so, the net benefit to humanity would be positive. but i don't want to, as i'd have to privately pay the cost (no more delicious chicken) while the benefits (in terms of reduced global cumulative greenhouse gas emissions) are spread across the billions of the rest of you.

however, i really want you all to take individual action to limit your greenhouse emissions so i can benefit. go vegan, have fewer children, get your economies to install carbon taxes. yes please, i'd love the lot of you to do that.

i'm very willing to trade you something of value in return for you making lifestyle changes that don't locally benefit you.

how do we make this kind of trade happen? how do we make this kind of collective agreement to change behaviour happen faster?
I don't have a single friend or even. aquaintence who would do any of the top 3 things long the list of 148 most impactful things an individual can do

they were

1. have one less kid.

I can maybe imagine a friend choosing not to have 3 but I can't imagine someone wanting 2 to go to 1 or someone wanting 1 to go to 0 for this reason

2. go carless

Sone friends live in a city that supports a carless lifestyle and already live carless but I can't imagine a single person I know giving up their car or moving somewhere they don't need it for for purpose of helping the environment

3. don't travel

zero friends would give this up. even the most eco "aware"
I agree this article isn't as terrible as average. Going vegetarian and cycling to work once a week might make you feel good but it ain't gonna make a difference. It's a political problem. It needs a political solution.

Agitate and vote for the most left-wing party you can (that has a realistic chance of winning/influencing an election). Campaign for them to institute a ban on fossil fuels. Protest. Climb smokestacks. Make headlines. Break the law. If you work in the media, subvert their agenda as much as possible. Capitalism is crisis.

Of course, the BBC would never state these things. But given how little has been achieved in the last 40 years by playing by the rules, at this point they are obviously necessary, if not sufficient.
Last time I opened PDF with JS even Acrobat warned about that and disabled it by default (but that was some time ago).
This reads like what has become the standard Facebook PR response: they claim to be committed to improvement, but will ultimately do nothing actually effective. On the one hand, because it is excruciatingly difficult in what is relevant, and on the other hand, because they won't ever come close to harm their business in what is actually feasible.
> Do you think there's anyone promoting individual action who'd be against collective action?

Yes. A lobbyist who wants to avoid new legislation to control climate change, but still claim they care about it.

It's difficult to persuade people to have fewer children, since the people alive today generally inherit the trait of wanting children.

Further to that, I'm not sure it's a good idea anyway in many cases if you're worried about sustainability of the human race and our current lives - if we all stopped having children, society would pretty much collapse. Who's going to look after us when we're old? Clearly we don't all need to have 12 children, but 0 won't work either.

So if you take a look at the screen grab of that -https://operation8bit.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/feature_sy... - you will notice that he’s highlighting an assortment of assembler directives with colors far away from the opcodes, and that there’s a jsr highlighted in red. Presumably jmp is also picked out: HEY THE PROGRAM FLOW CHANGES HERE. Feels pretty useful for skimming the code a few days later when you’ve forgotten the details. Or for commenting and cleaning up a disassembly of someone else’s code, I remember drawing lines on printouts to try and unwind what was happening...

Also of course if you are going to do something insane like build a completely automated workflow to go from “a file full of assembly” to “a browser window opens with an emulated c64 running your code” in one keystroke, you may as well fuck around with writing a syntax highlighter while you’re at it.

> We should also start taxing carbon emissions.

Yes, but not without developping the alternatives. For example, in France, the government decided to raise the taxes on gas and especially diesel — but at the same time, the small train lines are being shut down, so people living in the country aren't to happy.
In Switzerland the system is actually pretty good - ambulances are private companies, it cost +-500$ to get transport to hospital.

This is not true for the entire country. Emergency services are usually organized on a local level.

For example: In the city of Zurich emergency services are run by the city (which also serves 17 additional communities). It's very much a publicly owned and operated enterprise.

In addition there are private services, but on a very limited manner. For example: The orthodox jewish community runs its own ambulance service.

Why is this the side of the ledger to work on? http://carbon.ycombinator.com/ seems like a much more effective means of mitigating the issues.

The worst things that could happen to the environment would actually be whatever happens that results in a surprise cold spell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age was such a period.

If there is a cold snap, that will likely mean MORE coal burnt in Europe, which will put greater amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, and when the cold period ends, even worse greenhouse affects.

There is virtually no situation in which carbon removal will be anything other than a net gain. We need to start removing carbon ASAP, irrespective of whether or not we can, collectively as a world of 7+Billion, reduce emissions.

The carbon removal side of the ledger is the one I think we can make meaningfully changes in fastest and with the least controversy.
IANAL either, but it isn't a mere requirement to give credit. A single sentence can be sufficient to give credit.

Exactly. All they are saying here is that nothing is changing, we continue to provide openjdk builds, we continue to provide fixes for it, just like we do for other packages in our lts releases, just like we've always done. Business as usual. Ubuntu, Red Hat, Azul, and others are doing the exact same. The only thing that changes is that Oracle's jdk builds are no longer a safe option if you want long term support.

So, where people may have wanted the oracle jdk for mostly irrational / non functional reasons in the past, now they'll think twice.
yeah it sounds like "I sorta once half-heard some thing or another so it must mean electric kettles are forever bad".
That's the cumulative effect of all your children's descendants. Good news - if you convince your child to make one fewer transatlantic flight, and to pass this knowledge on to all their children, then you are allowed to have kids without people making you feel bad.
> Buy less stuff.

This is becoming harder and harder with time. Believe me, I would love to buy my kitchen stove, washing machine, refrigerator, aspirator, air conditioner and vacuum cleaner from a local manufacturer. But there are none. How many household brands do really exist and how many are actually known and bought by almost everyone?

Additionally, even if you are an idealist who wants to be the change they want to see, you will still need a bunch of tech gadgets to connect with the world and try to change it -- like a good smartphone and laptop that don't suck. Not every $100 piece of trash will do the job. And the cheaper tech might have actually had much more negative impact on the planet's CO2 footprint.

It's very complex and thus no black-and-white solutions exist.

Some corps like Apple and Samsung seem hellbent on testing the customers' patience with higher prices every year and it will definitely bite them back at one point. That much is true.

> Political action.

Never in my life, not once, have I seen citizens voting actually change anything of significance in a country. Have you? And we're talking less than 10 years here. "These things take time" seems pretty shallow and empty as a justification for things not happening.

Nuclear power is primarily a byproduct of nuclear weapons - that's why virtually all reactors use a Uranium -> Plutonium cycle. The only space influence was radiothermal generators, which are a bit niche.
