> aren't exactly entrapment

Are you saying that dressing nice is approaching entrapment?

I can think of some similar arguments...

I could see an entrapment angle for something that appears to be abandoned property. Not for something that has very clear ownership, where you can expect that the owner is going to come for it in the near future.
A little bit of a tangent, but man do Investors/Wall-Street love the Razor/Razor-Blade business models. Sell the hardware (i.e. the machine) at ~10-20% Gross Margin then sell the consumables at like 60-80% Gross Margin. See it a a lot with Healthcare companies. Doesn't always work, but when it does... Obviously, there are other business models that Investors/Wall Street likes better (i.e. SAAS).
Partially true. Softbank as a whole is not funded by Saudi Arabia. Softbank's "Vision Fund", which invests in many US tech companies is like 45% Saudi money ($45b of a total $100b fund). The Vision Fund is the fund that invested in WeWork, though.

As a long-time BSD user (since 1982) this both saddens and heartens me. It saddens me, that the core development path in BSD was not able to sustain being the "reference" model for a wider community. There is no point pretending you can, when nobody else wants to follow that model.

The heartening moment, is that linux and BSD should share code when they can, because its sensiblet to avoid pointless fork. Pointful fork, (and I exclude licence terms mostly) is something we have to deal with. Pointless forking is just a royal pain.

An outcome of this should be that I get more guarantee a ZVOL export/import cycle across Linux/BSD (which btw I have now done about 10 times on 10TB ZFS filesystems) will work with no awkward binary consequence to flag/version mismatch which came about because of two codebases: version mismatch because one was "old" and one is "new" is a different thing.
I cannot speak about the biological effects of RF but I'm pretty sure that the denser the coverage, the less power will end up being used by the phone (or base stations) to complete the link (since on average phones will be closer to base stations) -- leading to less RF exposure.
Ask HN: How does IPFS help the interplanetary Internet of the future?
IPFS (Interplanetary File System) is marketed as a New Internet: an HTTP replacement.

Content hashing, deduplication, data resilience/permanence, and P2P content downloads/uploads are all excellent features, and IPNS is a layer on top that gives the system a more human interface.

However to me this feature set makes IPFS sounds like a supercharged CDN, rather than a new kind of Internet.

If we're going to set up a lunar base, or start a civilisation on Mars, is IPFS actually going to make connecting them to the Internet easier? (Assuming connecting the networks of the Moon, Mars and Earth is something we want to do.) Is it going to improve our/their experience of the Internet?

How well does IPFS actually solve (or help solve) the problems of connecting and maintaining an Internet distributed across huge amounts of open space?
This project and coreboot seem to me, complimentary. It is already possible to run TianoCore over coreboot, it seems it should be possible to run Mu with it as well given some work.

It’s not a new thing by any means. Mail order has been a common thing for well over a century. It’s more frequent now, but unattended valuables being left on porches goes back a long time.

It’s actually pretty common in a lot of places not to put much effort into securing valuables. In places with little property crime, people often leave their cars and houses unlocked.

Blame the thieves, not the victims.
Their business model reminds me of MoviePass in the sense that it appears unsustainable, and that their main plan is to grow fast until they have market power to throw around. At least the math for WeWork isn't so obviously flawed as Moviepass was. I'm just disappointed at how many companies use this playbook in the startup world. Everyone just does stupid crap in hopes of becoming the "dominant platform", at which point they can charge whatever they want and people will have to play along.
GDP is an extremely artificial measure of an economy, and like most overly simplistic measures, it has lead to gaming the statistic. GDP growth is an easy headline for politicians. Yet even when our modern understanding of GDP was invented (by Kuznets, a US economist, during the Great Depression), he closed the document with several paragraphs criticising and limiting it. The final sentence of which being "The welfare of a nation can, therefore, scarcely be inferred from a measurement of national income as defined above."

In the context of pollution, environment and climate change resources are not part of GDP until they are used or harvested. A tree has zero value until it is cut, oil has zero value until it is in a pipeline, a river so polluted it catches fire is of zero consequence in GDP. Neither does it consider the health and welfare of a population, quality of life and other non monetary activity (within a household, community schemes etc). Lastly it does not account for progress: It is purely a monetary measure. No account is made of improvements to efficiency or new methods.

We could have negative GDP growth without reducing quality of life, as it's not all about money. Solar panels, computers etc are getting more capability for less cost, environmental damage and pollution has monetary costs to health, perhaps mental wellbeing too.

Thus it tends to promote purely the monetary aspect, and belittle to the point of insignificance (by calling it an externality) everything else. In short it doesn't measure anything especially useful.

No, the demand for healthcare is basically infinite.

I got a cold yesterday with a crazy bad sore throat, I thought of maybe popping into the doctor. But it turns out to be just a regular cold. My mother would have 100% gone to the doctor. The clinics here in Canada are chock full of kids with the flu and people coming in 'because'. Maybe that's beneficial due to the risk 'it could be something bad'. Or maybe the economics don't make sense i.e. for really mundane things it's better to just stay home and take Tylenol.

But the demand is super high. Once people cross 50, there are always problems. Always something. And it's all expensive.

It's the opposite way - GPL automatically covers the final product, and does not allow for licenses that have stronger terms than itself.

CDDL is per-file license, does not automatically extend itself to the whole product. But it also has wording about patents et al, which puts it beyond direct inclusion in kernel just like MPL.

Out of tree with one degree of separation (Solaris Porting Layer) is based on the precedent of AFS implementation for linux, where the argument was that the code is not derivative of Linux kernel code, as in no way was VFS unique to linux or any other crucial part involved.

The Toyota Mirai can store 5kg of hydrogen (giving it a 500km range). This system would require about 150kg of inert material to store the same amount of hydrogen. That's only about three times the weight of a full tank of gas and doesn't seem totally impractical. The other claims sound pretty far-fetched though. For twice the range of an ICE car, it would need a much larger tank.

There is a non-negligible portion of people who have bought into the political narrative that “stock market volatility = recession”.

Typical mixtures use eg potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, and calcium nitrate. Salts are one of the most produced substances on earth. For instance, potassium nitrate is in virtually every fertilizer. I couldn't find how much is used annually, but it's made from potash, and US reserves of that are ~270 million tons[1]. At 40 to 110 kWh/ton[2] that's a minimum of 10.8 billion kWh (10.8 TWh), or a full day of storage.

That's all true. But arguably it was economic problems that enabled China to meet its commitment. So I'm not hopeful about prospects, if the Chinese economy picks up. And even if they claim to be on target, I'd want to see independent evidence. Maybe one can estimate from satellite data.[0]

The more I hear about 5G, the more I think it's an industry trying to sell a product that nobody is asking for. I have no complaints about the speed I get on my iPhone from T-Mobile here in the US. I wish I had better LTE coverage, but I'm happy with the performance. Most of the time it's snappier than my Wi-Fi (which is weird). I get a solid 8 to 20 mbits under fair conditions- I can stream movies and music just fine.

All I hear about 5G is that it requires a large amount of antennas on both your phone (4 because a hand covering the antenna can cause a drop in signal) and around you. I don't want to be near a high power transmitter that's low frequency, and I really don't want to be near a high frequency one.

What's the sell of 5G? I guess the speed, but what? 1 Gbit to my phone? Why. Considering that I only get 15GB of "Unlimited" data now, it isn't going to replace Wi-F. Because of the density required of the towers, it's not going to replace 4G/LTE as some areas it's just unrealistic to have the required density.
They’re measuring by volume, saying a standard size fuel tank would give twice the range with this stuff.

Negative electricity prices are also driven by wind subsidies. Wind producers get 2.3 cents per kilowatt hour in tax credits. This means they make money even when the price of electricity is negative—-up to 2.3 cents a kilowatt hour.

I have the MiST, the predecessor to this and really like it. It was originally made for Atari ST emulation but quickly acquired other cores. Mine even has MIDI ports like the original ST.

It's odd the MiSTer page doesn't even list an Atari ST core as available. Odd given the heritage (and name).

On the other hand, there's an X68000 core. That's pretty amazing.

But apart from bigger FPGA one of the big advantages of MiSTer over MiST is HDMI output. Dealing with VGA is a real pain in the but, esp if you want to hook up to a living room TV.

I'll probably invest in MiSTer at some point, but it would be nice if they had an expansion which added MIDI and 9-pin joystick ports like you could get on the MiST.

It seems reasonable to assume this stuff has a density similar to water, since it’s mostly water anyway. That means you’d need a 150 liter tank to achieve 500km of range. A typical car has, what, a 40 liter tank? And they’re promising more like 1,200km of range from that size tank.

Ballmer is still Microsoft's single largest shareholder, and he has seen his personal wealth grow dramatically under Nadella’s tenure. You’re telling me he hates Linux so much that he’s willing to tank his own fortune, to the tune of billions of dollars, to stab ineffectually at it? Please.

Nobody at Microsoft ever had a committed ideological opposition to Linux, it was a pragmatic decision based on what they perceived as a threat to their business. That certainly doesn’t negate the damage of all the shit they pulled, but it does mean that it is highly unlikely that they’re going to reverse course and start extinguishing Linux for ideological reasons now that they’ve figured out how to make money without Linux being the enemy.
School libraries working to support an established curriculum? This was totally normal in my high school - the texts that would be studied by a particular grade were stable for several years at a time, so they would acquire enough copies for 2 classes (60 students).
The answer you were given is perfectly reasonable. It is clear and on point and even illustrates a little bit why your question is too narrow or perhaps unfair.
Not want to involve in argument but it really depend upon where you work. Someone are evaluating autocad in 1985 I believe when we are using cadcam in mainframe.

Those are still standing and housed 1/2 million people.

But what surprise me not is how giving up or not pursue Priate help autocad due to the key is Human Resources. That is why apple Xcode is so much cf visual studio until lately. That is why open source is nothing about business but mind share.

Plenty of disclaimers I agree with, but I still dispute that reducing anything to a single, monetary measure is a sensible thing to do. The pitfalls are as clear as with other overly simplistic measures it leads to gaming that measure at the expense of everything else. Or encourages belief that some of those externalities are unimportant as they are not in that headline £££ figure.

Huh! I hadn’t heard about this.

In theory, there’s still time to stop it from happening. Although USMCA was signed, it hasn’t been ratified by the US and, due to objections from newly elected Democratic House majority, probably won’t be ratified in its current form. Unfortunately, I don’t think those objections include anything about copyright, so in lieu of some massive public lobbying campaign, any revised version they agree to probably won’t change that part.

On the other hand, there’s a substantial chance that Democrats and Republicans fail to reach a deal on revisions, nothing gets signed, and Trump’s threat to unilaterally terminate NAFTA gets put to the test (both politically and, potentially, in court). I guess we’ll see.
There's a huge difference between what one advocates as a position as a politician trying to get/stay elected in a two-party democracy, and what they'd be willing to force through if they were all-powerful.

As an example, do you think that, given the ability to enact whatever legal changes he wanted, Bernie Sanders would nationalize our telecommunications infrastructure? Or our health care system?

I don't have any specific, citable reason to think he would, but I think there's plenty of reason to believe they're things he might want to do.

'Direct NaBH4/H2O2 fuel cells'

"A fuel cell (FC) using liquid fuel and oxidizer is under investigation. H2O2 is used in this FC directly at the cathode. Either of two types of reactant, namely a gas-phase hydrogen or an aqueous NaBH4 solution, are utilized as fuel at the anode. Experiments demonstrate that the direct utilization of H2O2 and NaBH4 at the electrodes results in >30% higher voltage output compared to the ordinary H2/O2 FC. Further, the use of this combination of all liquid fuels, provides numerous advantages (ease of storage, reduced pumping requirements, simplified heat removal, etc.) from an operational point of view. This design is inherently compact compared to other cells that use gas phase reactants. Further, regeneration is possible using an electrical input, e.g. from power lines or a solar panel. While the peroxide-based FC is ideally suited for applications such as space power where air is not available and a high energy density fuel is essential, other distributed and mobile power uses are of interest."

The definition isn't exactly "cleared its orbit", but rather "gravitationally dominates its orbit". Neptune fits these criteria, because while Pluto does cross its orbit it is locked in a resonant orbit with Neptune. Similarly, the Moon, as well as Cruithne and several other near-earth objects, are all locked in a resonant orbit with the Earth. However the asteroid belt is not resonant with Ceres.
