You don't need a commercial license to provide SSPL code itself as a hosted service if you release the service-rigging code you use to do so.

As for the most typical use case, web apps, see their FAQ:

> The copyleft condition of Section 13 of the SSPL applies only when you are offering the functionality of MongoDB, or modified versions of MongoDB, to third parties as a service. There is no copyleft condition for other SaaS applications that use MongoDB as a database.

https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license...

Compare their prior, public clarification on the scope of AGPLv3:

> Note however that it is NOT required that applications using mongo be published. The copyleft applies only to the mongod and mongos database programs. This is why Mongo DB drivers are all licensed under an Apache license. You application, even though it talks to the database, is a separate program and “work”.

https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/the-agpl

Much as Kernel developers published a statement clarifying and limiting the sweep of GPLv2 copyleft, Mongo published a statement clarifying and limiting the sweep of AGPLv3 copyleft.

I've heard from a former Mongo employee that Mongo wrote several letters to users and vendors, assuring them that AGPLv3 didn't require release of their app code.

Well, I guess it's better to have some sort of source than no source like many news articles do. Or to have a broken link as a source. Or a reference to a non existent publication like in that other recent Hacker News story.

Having a source only makes a story about 1% more credible, but having a dubious/non existent/fake one is a good indication the story shouldn't be trusted.
I think Microsoft is being purposefuly laxer than other engines. Their main intend must be to have more ‘regular’ porn, but child porn will also fall in the basket.

What’s the gain? relevance among porn users.

Perhaps we can compare this to fishing. Nobody catches dolphins on purpose, but a lot of fishers will use wide nets well knowing that some dolphins will be trapped in.
Yes but the company can’t be put in jail. At the most they will punish someone if they did something knowingly. That’s the issue with this law, it acts like companies are people, but in the end the punishments are not the same.
That isn't surprising. It's much, much easier to gain and keep wealth when you already have a lot of wealth (that's the flip side of the fact that it's very expensive to be poor).
For outdoor monitoring, where my privacy concerns are minimal and where my security concerns are maximized, it's pretty straightforward: plug in a camera, get a many-days-history high-res video feed with alerting. What's not to understand?

On my neighborhood Facebook groups, people need help just getting Nest and Ring cams set up. The idea that they were going to set up their own local DVR camera systems is pretty silly.

I don't understand why people install speaker systems (like Alexa) and cameras in their houses; I wouldn't trust third party, even Google, to manage a feed of audio or video from inside my four walls. But outside, the privacy/security tradeoff is radically different, and the devices have been (for us) super valuable.
I've come to terms with the idea that different environments offer different things.

With Mac and OSX, you get a beautiful and thoughtful presentation, terminal access, and great with media. You can code, you can look sexy, you can edit your media projects with serious ease.

With Windows, you have brute power, great compatibility, and it's a better option for the market (i.e. cheap and expensive options). Windows is still King of mass market and gaming . (Withholding mobile)

With Linux, you have the option to have many kinds of environments at the lowest cost, with the understanding that you might have to work to get where you actually want to be. But when you get there, the satisfaction is 100x anything you'll get from the other platforms. (Withholding bsd, plan9, etc.)

I've been using Linux for about 7 years, mostly because I realized much of my CS homework can be done on Linux, and it was cool at the time. Also, Macs were/are way out of my budget, and Windows machines are a dime a dozen, just pick your price point. Then I realized the real magic of Linux: it's a free product of the world, for the world. Long after the business behind Windows and Mac leave the planet, Linux will stand as the people's platform. And I figured I should start learning it.
I have noticed that most name-brand electronics products such as Apple, Logitech, etc. are RoHS compliant because they sell internationally. Thus the european standards for toxicity get exported.

House brands from companies with large sales volumes in the U.S. such as Amazon and Wal-Mart frequently don't have RoHS labels.
Ask HN: Is PHP still relevant?
Would you say it's worth investing the time to get good at it?
They don't say exactly what the "anonymous tip" was. It might've just been "hey, child porn is easy to stumble on on Bing". If the filtering's this bad, maybe they searched "kids underwear" when trying to find some new undies for a toddler, and got a bit of a shock.

The specific keywords appear to be ones come up with by the researchers, who are (intentionally) trying to find keywords that come up with stuff.
I'm pretty sure /r/the_donald started out as a joke and slowly turned real at some point. I still don't quite understand what happened. It would make an interesting investigation.
> cgroups without cgroups.

I've been charring my brain to understand what you mean by this.

You don't need to have cgroups for all applications in order to use them.

And they don't need to be implemented by systemd specifically for them to be in use by other init's or tools.

SystemD existing (and being pushed so heavily) stymies the rise of such init systems.
I'm roughly right around or after "pick a framework" in the front-end guide (and can do some android stuff too). What level of a front-end dev am I?

(I actually transitioned to product/project management at that point, just wondered)
Since the flexbox inspector is is a sidebar in the DevTools, they're working with similar size constraints as a mobile device. I think taking design inspiration from mobile makes sense.
You would think that people who have illegal content would try to hide it from a mainstream search engine? Aren't they just sitting ducks waiting for police to come arrest them? I thought this kind of thing was on the dark net, and there was no way to accidentally see it?
A almost guarantee that 100% of the people who believe clickbait fake news articles from bogus and untrustworthy sources also have never heard of the scientific method.

I believe that many older people find critical thinking to be taboo, and prefer to take things at face value because they confuse passivity with wisdom. Why question something when someone will come along any minute to make you feel comfortable anyway?

They tend to be wrong when they think independently because they were never any good at critical thinking to begin with, so they just parrot what they were told makes sense. What's going to keep their lives "the same."

This article does a better job than I ever could explaining my reasoning... https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/014616721243921...
Wow, Bing seems to be in a bad shape. Just a few months ago Bing was serving malware/adware disguised as a Google Chrome ad and now this.
But at this point the situation is the same as on linux. I've never encountered anything on linux that didn't use ctrl-c for copy other than terminal apps.
Librem 5 is going to be a phone that runs free software (Purism's Debian-derived, FSF-endorsed PureOS) on mostly–open-source hardware; any closed-source hardware will be physically separated and kill-switched.

The dev kit is essentially a late-alpha version of the hardware, capable of running the software.
I would suspect every search engine has this problem, and every social network has the problem WhatsApp did with trading pictures in private groups.

Calling out Bing in particular isn’t useful, but drawing attention to the problem might be — or it could turn into another repressive crusade. Hard to say.
Because _Microsoft_ is sourcing and indexing these images, not the FBI or the general society. Going from there, i think it is entirely reasonable to see the responsibility with Microsoft.
For me, "decoupling" means running separate processes with well-defined interfaces. Systemd does exactly that -- it has many separate processes, each with well-defined interfaces. For example, systemd-timesyncd can be run on any machine with dbus, and does not require systemd init at all.

The only "merging" systemd does is that it puts multiple binaries into one package, other than that they are completely separate. While it is annoying waste of space, there is no reason to suspect "coupling".
The alternatives to those repressive regimes were... other repressive regimes, or regimes that were guaranteed to become quickly repressive based on the histories of both the USSR and China.
Only if you need an engine that powerful and flexible. A toned down and simplified engine is certainly not as hard to develop.
it's not "the other extreme." it's just a more objective view. it's just true that traditional masculine norms leads to circumstances where:

> boys are disproportionately represented among schoolchildren with learning difficulties (e.g., lower standardized test scores) and behavior problems (e.g., bullying, school suspensions, aggression). Likewise, men are overrepresented in prisons, are more likely than women to commit violent crimes, and are at greatest risk of being a victim of violent crime
I had that when I had kids. I'm an older brother but grew up in a stable family.

The lack of sleep combined with working hard full time is the cause.

If you can take a few months off of work (doing 20 hrs work a week works too), get to the gym and sort your diet out (cut down on fat and try to remove red meat and sugars) you'll feel much better.

It's working for me :)
I stumbled upon this today while using Firefox Developer Edition and I have to say it is very useful. Thanks for the write-up.
Perhaps younger people don't share "fake news" because they simply don't share like that. How many people under 30 are sharing news on Facebook? It doesn't mean they're not down the rabbit hole on /r/the_donald or /r/incels. Perhaps the generational divide is not in the what but the how.
Last time I tried Nix I eventually got the Nix environment working, but ran into MacOS-specific issues trying to install relatively common development-related packages like Ruby and PostgreSQL.
Try Shinobi (see https://moeiscool.github.io/Shinobi/).
Yup. I knew someone who did this at BlackBerry. Very emotionally taxing work. Thankless too.
Microsoft has a technology that protects against child porn, in which they license. There is no doubt they've made an effort.

You don’t have to chose a path, but if you do chose a path these are the tools you would need to learn to call yourself competent in that discipline/area of work - because these roles definitely exist once your no longer a dev team of 3 or less.
I think this is inaccurate. One, you can control your exposure while your product is crap. It’s just unlikely you’ll saturate your market before you can improve the product, if indeed your company is capable of improving the product.

Additionally, the downside isn’t “customers won’t use us bf they were burned”. It just creates a bump for the sales process to overcome. It’s an impediment to a sale, not a blocker.

Finally, before p/m fit, you need to be optimizing for learning over all else. More customers, even if they have a bad experience, brings more feedback. Also, you will have an asset - email list - of people who have signed up because you’re solving a problem they have curiousity / interest in.

Look at mongo. They’re now pretty successful by most evaluations, and they did this exact thing. Outside of Hn, very few remember how they over promised and under delivered.
I am not sure it's just about jobs. Wealth in general is evaporating from the lower/middle class rapidly. There was a time when middle-class wages were kept in-line with inflation, this doesn't happen any more.

The wealth is being syphoned away from the economy at large into the coffers of huge corporations/individuals who just warehouse the wealth.

There is very much a sense of resources being scarce and it's due to those resources and wealth being taken out of the economy.
I used a naive forward-differentiate-through-euler-integration scheme to optimize networks of coupled oscillators to perform classification ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.08412.pdf ), but your approach seems to be miles away in terms of performance.
Congratulations to the authors, this is amazing work, I see great potential applications in physics-based computing with nanotechnology, and I may actually use it myself in this context !
Do you have any basis on which to claim that Asian students are less creative than your idealized American one?

Standardized education in Asia has a very long history, and given the many achievements of Asian civilization, it seems quite fantastical to claim Asians are less creative than <insert culture here>.

If anything, the countries of Asia must necessarily be more creative, because they often have less to work with. Countries like Singapore and Japan have very few natural resources but can still hold their own economically against America or any other Western power. Meanwhile, without diminishing the amount of hard work undertaken, America's economic success historically is due in large part to the wealth of geographic resources and the successful extraction and marketing of those resources. While lucrative, and a great example of what the American work ethic can accomplish, I'm not sure I'd label this as particularly creative.

Ultimately, the drive to label Americans as creative and Asians as non-creative is simply moral positioning in order to maintain some kind of perceived superiority over cultures rather than admit they may have a better system.

Great. The more people that know the flows of oil, the better.

They probably made big bucks by moving oil towards where there was going to be a drought of oil, or away from where there was going to be a glut.
That's a managed database of KNOWN material though.

Very different from categorizing random web content.

Without knowing what kind of games you like, I can safely suggest Splendor and Azul. Both plays well with 2 and scales up to 4 equally well. If you like more strategy, Lords of Waterdeep.

There are some excellent 2 player games as well. I would start with Patchwork. If you like something more heavy, 7 Wonders duel is an excellent game.
They are hiring the wrong people. Hire pedos. Just don't let them leave the room with anything. Felons need jobs too. There are no kids in the moderator rooms.

Looks like some folks prefer they work around children instead.
I remember reading somewhere that when IBM was looking for an OS and was starting to talk to Bill Gates, John Akers (IBM senior exec, maybe CEO then?) was briefed on it and said, "Isn't that Mary Gates's boy?" Akers and Mary Gates were both on the national board of directors for United Way — and reportedly Mary Gates had talked to Akers about the importance of the newer, smaller companies in the burgeoning computer industry.

When my 2013 MacBook Air died from a coffee spill about a year ago, I wanted to try a different laptop. I picked the X1 Carbon (6th gen) which is a very nice machine in many ways.

However, I ended up switching back for two main reasons:

1. the touchpad is good but not nearly as good. I would regularly accidentally click on things while scrolling, despite fiddling with the settings. It was maddening.

2. For my work, Linux is a better fit than Windows. When I installed Ubuntu on the X1, both the touchpad and trackpoint were entirely unusable. I did a bit of searching and tried a few recommendations but never got it to work. I don't want to carry around a mouse.

I now have the new MacBook Air and I'm generally happy with it. Keyboard is not as good as the old ones in my opinion.
Israel is a strong candidate given that the country didn't exist before 1948. Essentially the country was reset to zero as all Arab wealth was confiscated and nationalized during the formative years in the 1950's.
Also consider how many things Bing ties into, like Windows. Oh shit.
This doesn't address OP's article's main point, aside from the backhand comment of "it's not social media," which is meant more so as clickbait and doesn't pertain much to the article's point of what does cause the anxiety.
> I so wish the Linux community would get its act together and implement a....

The Linux communities are full of volunteers. It seems like their act is actually quite together! There is no 'buyer' to make demands with their dollar. Only there is a developer who one day decides they want a feature.
The real story is much different. Interpol, the FBI, etc have been handed a golden tool to find child porn users. They could be prosecuting all those sites and investigating their visitors, but instead, they turn a blind eye.

Rather than stop real predators seeking out this garbage, they run sting operations to entrap people who are too uninformed and poor to fight back then pat themselves on the back about fighting crime.
Microsoft could outsource the censorship to Beyondsoft. They do much of the Internet censorship for the government of China.[1]

"depersonalization" and "walls" is one way to put it. Though think of it from another perspective: You'd need to keep a team pulling in the same direction and speak a common language. When one person coded up something without any framework, they may understand the code structure perfectly, but the others who collaborate with them can easily get lost/be detoured. Publicly existing frameworks have conventions, docs and communities and a certain way of organizing things, which makes it much easier for a team to avoid wasted efforts.
That depends on your situation.

Generally, I think it's worth investing the time to get good at every language you can. When you learn a different language, you also learn things that can help you be better at using the other languages you know.
A rating difference of 100 points means that the stronger player will collect 3 out of 4 points over 4 games. A difference of 200 points is a full category jump: Candidate Master to Master, Master to Internation Master and International Master to strong Grandmaster. This is not something that can be achieved in just 16 days of playing/training. As already pointed out by other posts there is a lot of randomness especially when playing blitz and rapid chess. All the improvement suggestions are valid ones ( and mostly common sense for anybody that has read some chess books ) but attributing a 200 Elo point increase to 16 days of training to me tells that this player is probably not worth 2000 yet.
in my opinion school is the place for schoolwork.
extending into the home and personal time of students seems like training to accept a future employers hueristics of extending work hours for free by constantly ringing up employees after thier day at the job is supposed to be done.
if its not possible to teach the subject in the alloted time,there is a problem with the educational system that needs redevelopment.
I think the primary contrast is with the prevailing narrative that goes something like this: "These narcissist kids are just obsessed with Instagram and Facebook and if they stopped sharing selfies they'd be fine." Social media to the general public = Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.

By contrast, many adults would think of school-related apps as "like work", so ok.
Presumably, the oppression-rays emanating from gitmo are the cause of the deplorable situation in Venezuela. I'm sure this radiation is also the reason why the PT lost the latest election in Brazil...
Depending on where you live, ask someone in their 40's who came from China, India or Pakistan, someone in their 60's from Eastern Europe or someone over 80 from Ireland or Italy about "anti-immigrant sentiment". I'd be very surprised if their stories were all that different.

We keep getting fed the narrative that racism is out of control, but I believe it's not worse, it's just as bad as it's always been.

This doesn't make the situation better, but it does clamp down on the hysteria that (a) things are getting worse or (b) the rate of worsening(?) is increasing....
I agreed with everything you said except this:

> but there are still things that just going to be less painful on Apple.

Of course OSX is more user friendly now, but Linux desktop has improved by leaps and bounds. 4 years ago you needed to be a developer or extremely savvy to run the average desktop distro, now I would say you just need to be tech sdavvy. I would argue that for the ho hum business cases (not extreme use case profiles like design and video production) that Ubuntu won’t cause any unnavigable issues.

I think in a few years you will see the Linux diaries continue in popularity, especially among developers. Laptops have become commodity items. There just isn’t that much that differentiates (for me at least) a MacBook from a good ThinkPad.
Bullshit. No way you are telling me backend folks want to spend their day writing front end css code and compiling modejs. Certainly, if and when you are ‘full stack’ you can and may do both.....but that implies both exist to begin with.
I was just going to ask the same question about WKD support. Having control over key distribution in an organization is a very important factor for me.
It still rubs me the wrong way that simple possession of child pornography is illegal. It's obviously a good idea to criminalize production of child pornography, and possibly the sale of as well, assuming that sales of child porn incentivize production of it, but images and video do not actually harm any children, meaning criminalizing possession does nothing, and is in fact an example of censorious and moralistic government overreach.

Consider that it is perfectly legal to watch cartel or ISIS execution videos, and that the acts depicted in such videos are far worse than child rape. You disagree? Are you saying you would rather be flayed alive than be retroactively raped as a child and live with the trauma of it? Under what principle does it make sense that possession of gore videos is legal, and possession of child pornography is not?

It is ironic but not entirely surprising. Microsoft is enormous and the process for managing Bing as a product is probably so onerous that even integrating an “in-house” system might take years and incur heaps of bureaucracy.

If Bing really wanted to do this, it’d probably be the same process as a separate company, except that the email domain of the parties working on the integration would be the same.
Many Gnome config files are binary to improve startup performance, but they can still be edited using the appropriate tool.
