Interesting how human nature always wants to blame everything on one source. AWS might be bad, no argument against it. But the truth is there is more and more speaking about the end of open source as we know it.

E.g. smartphones (the most used end-user computer nowadays) being walled gardens. So walled, that not even a giant like Huawei can easily continue to use Google's OS.

E.g. Trade war makes every side being less open towards all other sides.

E.g. at least one huge Open Source proponent being sold to a company that is known for not handling open source too well.

E.g. big corps like Google having found a way to misuse stuff that is seemingly open source as marketing tools to spread there proprietary actual products.

E.g. with at least many big corps believing that the cloud has beaten on-prem, and who knows what is behind these APIs. Maybe they don't even use Linux and TCP/IP anymore.

E.g. with the rise of AI and machine learning software itself maybe(!) not being the most important tech development factor anymore.

E.g. with Valve not having won the gaming platform war against Microsoft.

E.g. with Microsoft claiming to integrate more and more with open source (but then how much control are they starting to wield, having a shitload of coders, money and users to field for their personal cause).
To me the biggest "innovation" of Uber is how they were able to strong-arm municipalities into allowing regular people to use their cars effectively as taxis without having to deal with any special regulation or taxes. Whether this is good or bad is up for debate.

The other aspect -- being able to hail a car from an app and know (within reasonable bounds) how much the ride will cost in advance -- is not much of an innovation technically, but considering that the cab companies could have something similar and failed to do so, the innovation is showing that the logistics of it can work

No, Linux is GPL licensed, it's not a naive permissive license.
Do those things happen to you a lot? None of them have ever happened to me. The security should match the risk; I'll keep going without a camera, but perhaps you could simply have your own camera recording yourself all day, if you need this protection.

>Польский поход Красной армии (17—29 сентября 1939 года), в советской историографии освободительный поход РККА, в современной историографии также советское вторжение в Польшу

Polish march of the Red Army, liberating march of The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in soviet historiography, also Soviet invasion of Poland in modern historiography.

For some reason some people over here are very eager to 'prove' some weird fantasies.

I even bothered to find a scanned copy of a moder school text book. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6jSNt06CW1HQlM5ekpUWDVfdUU...

The polish invasion is there. Not awful lot about it, just that Hitler and Stalin desided this is how it shall be and that sovieat army entered Poland on 17th.

This is a good book, a modern day Chinese version of 1984, and it dives right into the feigned ignorance that mainlanders are so practiced at these days. Written around a decade ago, before the rise of Chairman-For-Life Xi Jinping, but it was quite predictive of the changes which have occurred over the past few years.

I think we as humans are just associated with cancer. Regardless of what we eat.

My soul mate exercised, ate well and natural but still got breast cancer. Because it was in her family. Cancer hits so many people that it seems like it's just a natural way of population control to me.

Or perhaps a side effect from being multi-celled creatures in a universe with background radiation.
This is exactly it. GPL worked in the past, but if we take a look at Android (which is based on Linux) we can see that it failed to protect users' freedoms completely.
I disagree with your assertion that the QA community would be worse off if these types of people stopped answering questions. If a person cannot provide a helpful response to a question without being condescending or rude, then I personally think the QA community would be better off if that person reduces the 'help' they are providing.

Very few people have knowledge that is so rare and difficult to obtain that others should endure discouragement (or plain unpleasantness) in order to receive the benefit of their help. And, in my experience, the people who do have that sort of specialized knowledge are often some of the most helpful.
But MCAS was added because the plane doesn't handle well in some situations.
It's so goofy that people can use personal experience to illustrate a serious point without having holes poked in their experience.
Some people have argued that, yes. I've even argued it occasionally in the past.

The short justification given is that even though the GPL doesn't let you do everything, it still doesn't interfere with the 4 essential freedoms that Open Source guarantees. You may or may not agree with that justification.

But the people arguing in favor of SSPL as an Open Source license are moving in the wrong direction. If TechCrunch wanted to make the argument that the GPL wasn't free enough for inclusion into Open Source, they could do so. Instead, they're arguing that because the GPL might stretch the definition, we should just go whole hog and introduce straight-up end-user usage restrictions as well.

Techcrunch is taking the, "your thing isn't perfect, so we should all make it worse" position.
Every single other developed country has successfully dealt with this problem in another way besides censorship.
Mongo was AGPL.
I think it’s important to compare citizens rather than residents because that is a closer number to people who have immigrated. Many of the countries you site have really high foreign-born residents because of guest workers. I suspect these workers would love to stay and become citizens but that’s not possible in Switzerland or Qatar.

That being said, I’m sure there are other countries higher than the US, but 15% is pretty high and certainly amongst the highest. I tried finding a good list that ranked countries but couldn’t easily find an apples to apples comparison like the US’ BLS. But I like your link because it’s helpful for comparison. I wish I had found it.
SoftBank’s Fund was one of the last investors and poured billion in at a $48B valuation. So they won’t make a lot of money percentage wise but at worst they’ll make a small profit. Otherwise they could make over a billion or two profit from their investment. The other last investors got in at higher valuations. So if Uber drops more they’ll lose out. Though even they won’t lose a ton of money percentage wise.
I am pretty sure I saw the same reporting behavior with this idea.
I used to use Conkeror, but it hasn't seen any development in a longtime.

Hopefully this is or something else will be able to take it's place and eventually implement basic features that for some reason or another no current web browsers have: tiling frames, emacs keybindings, and a powerful extension language that allows for the modification of core structures (analogous to elisp for emacs).
> pretty sure before Uber/Lyft I couldn't click a button and know how much my ride to a place would cost then, book it and pay for it.

I did that with my local traditional taxi co in 2008. Couldn’t pay in the app until a few years later though. Uber weren’t the first taxi company in my town with app booking+quotes. They probably weren’t even in the first 5.
>I've always assumed that everything associated with a workplace was under surveillance.

If that workplace is a prison or sweatshop, yes.

My wife mentioned this to me yesterday, and I laughed and said I guess it wouldn't have affected me anyways as I don't really do much social media (unless you count this as social media). Now I'm beginning to wonder if they'll assume you're lying if you said that, or somehow more suspicious...

That said, requiring it for everyone seems heavy handed and feels wrong. I can’t quite put into words why, however.

That makes no sense. Testimony from the pilots who intercepted the object indicates the object demonstrated awareness of their presence.

Watch this video of a U.S. Navy F/A-18 squadron commander (not an average military pilot) who intercepted one of the objects and engaged in aerial maneuvers with it. He describes intercepting the object, flying about one mile away from it, with the object demonstrating awareness of his presence by mirroring his maneuvers. Then he flew aggressively at it, and the object responded by rapidly flying away. It then showed up on radar at the position he was returning to, where he had been flying a combat air patrol before he was sent to intercept the object, indicating that the object had been aware of his aircraft all along.

The commander also said that the flying object appeared to be maneuvering about 20,000 feet over an unknown object which was submerged just beneath the ocean surface.

https://youtu.be/jCaruUtiPHo

Other testimony recounted at https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/27666/what-the-hell-is... mentions that the ships had been tracking these objects on radar for a few days already, with them appearing suddenly on radar at 80,000 feet, rapidly descending vertically to 20,000 feet, and then flying straight up again, disappearing past 80,000 feet. The ships went to non-drill battle stations while the aircraft intercepted the object.
It's commonly because they don't know the answer, but still feel the need to answer something...
Metabolism is a process with chemical and energetic exhaust that can damage machinery critical to cellular processes. And at some point it becomes evolutionarily favorable to just accept that damage and expend effort starting over again (offspring) as opposed to attempting complete repair of all the damaged systems.

In that way, all metabolic processes will logically lead to cancer (damage to dna). The world is on fire.
Thinking about this a little more, I also see a failure here in terms of naming things, which I have noticed in my career can be scoffed at but is so important.

As the article says, the function of MCAS changed and its operational envelope was greatly expanded. What if, internally at least, the new system was referred to as MCAS2?

This is somewhere that things can get political, as was exactly the case with the Max, where they did not want anything to be considered a change to the aircraft type, let alone knowing the MCAS system existed in two majorly differing versions.
in every article with title "company X uses blockchain for Y" the top comment is someone saying "I don't see why".

Do you have any idea about how the particular company schemantics work? How parts are sourced in this industry? What certification issues are? basically blockchain is about trust.

So you know better than the company management and deem that their CTO made the wrong decision with zero information.

Ironically, "open source" was explicitly invented as a PR strategy by ESR and friends because the free software ideology was scaring aware rich companies:

>I think it’s a bit rich of companies such as Elastic to extend existing open source projects

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "extend existing open source projects". Elastic the company was founded by the creators of Elasticsearch and is the way that its authors and most of its contributors are rewarded with actual cash money.
That is not true at all. What articles did you read? See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20071582

1. The article addresses this: "Although Uber may have been an early adopter of smart-phone-app-based cab hailing, this service has been easily repli­cated by other companies, including traditional cab operators, and Uber has no significant advantage here. More importantly, there is no evidence that any of it creates meaningful efficiency gains, or that similar technologies led to major competitive upheavals in any other industry."

2. You can use Apple Maps (or Yandex Maps or any competing app) to get an indication of the best route and its length today. So, I'd say the problem of "shortcuts" is solved by the smartphone, not only/primarily by Uber.
The crashes that changed plane designs forever (2014)
I think there’s likely a reasonable expectation of privacy somewhere, such as for private posts or protected tweets (which the measures FTA would not necessarily examine). At the same time, if someone’s sharing their support for ISIS on Facebook, I sure hope authorities would take notice and act accordingly.

> They also believe that adults shouldn’t be able to get themselves into money losing business deal

When one person gets into a bad deal it is a bad decision. When tens or hundreds of thousands get into the same bad deal with the same company then it's systemic and creates a systemic risk.

> Regulation that subsidies late night taxis for low wage night shift workers economically distorts just like uber drivers that are receiving food stamps. Why is the former okay but the later is not?

It is not the same that the government subsidizes a night service to improve people's lives and the economy that a company like Uber bases its business model in not paying enough its employees and letting the taxpayers get the bill.

Uber is gaining a competitive advantage (over taxis and other forms of public transportation) at the cost of taxpayers. Late night taxis will probably cease to circulate if it were not for a subsidy. And then someone at the government thinks that to be able to take a taxi at night to go home is something desirable.
Thanks, I’ll stick with AWS then.

Anything short of admitting "we fundamentally screwed up, and are rethinking the poor decision to pair this engine with this airframe" as well as "we are reviewing all our design processes and how the FAA oversees every step of the process" is unacceptable. MCAS is just the horrific bloody bandage that is peeling away, it's not actually the problem here.

This probably won't happen of course, all they seem to want to do is fix as little as possible as quickly as possible while denying they ever knew anything.

If I were someone powerful like a pilot union leader I would start throwing conniption fits in public and refuse to let my people fly on Max's at all.
You have a cite supporting that legal theory? Because the fact that it happened on their website using indexing in their database and (especially) that they took payment directly, seems like a pretty strong argument that they ARE a party to the contract.

If the reality couldn't be further from that, how do you explain that nearly everyone in the world thst wants a better life comes to the United States?
It needs to be a collective action by the moral world to make a difference. Due to FPTP voting system, America will never again have a leader with the ability to ask the people to make a sacrifice for moral reasons. We no longer can implement treaties to get others to join collective action, and no other country wants to be or is powerful enough to be world policeman.
> When you do that you now have an aircraft the pilots aren't certified to fly.

It would increase risk. But for that increased risk to materialize into harm, the plane would also need to experience an unlikely, near-edge-of-flight-envelope situation that the working MCAS was intended to handle.

This would be comparable to a plane with any other mechanical defect that is discovered in-flight. If the above situation is expected to be too-risky to continue the flight and repair on the ground, then it would give cause for an emergency landing.

"Surveillance cameras in an office are fundamentally no different than having a manager's office that overlooks the factory floor."

The difference is that the manager can't see everywhere at once.

and also of the Panopticon[2], which was just a Romantic fantasy of Jeremy Bentham's when he dreamed it up in the 1790's, but which has become reality in the 20th and 21st centuries, with the advent of supermax prisons, schools, factories, and offices, with their omnipresent surveillance.

Bentham described the panopticon as "a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind". It's depressing and frightening that there are still many advocates of such oppression.

> Yesterday the U.S. State Department began implementing its requirement that nearly all U.S. visa applicants submit their social media usernames, previous email addresses and phone numbers as part of the application process.

> These new obstacles to immigration come at a time ...

If I understand this correctly, these are not obstacles to just immigrate to USA; these are obstacles for visiting USA.
What? America's great and a lot of people indeed try to overstay visas and take advantage of the system. This is an easily established fact.

Just last week, a thousand people in one solitary moment on one day formed a line and forced their way into the country for the privilege of being an unwelcome, tenuous inhabitant; that's how much some people want to be in the U.S.

This is the wrong line of argument if you just want to say that it's inappropriate for the government to scrutinize social media posts as part of the visa application process. You're setting yourself up to defend an unnecessary point rather than the actual argument.
The problem isn't really here. The problem is that everyone wants a permissive abusable license when AGPL would be just fine. If everyone here complaining just used AGPL then we wouldn't have this Amazon situation.

People want to have their cake and eat it too. They started with an MIT license because it gets more uptake then whine when the license terms are being followed.

But then it wouldn't be widely used. The solution to that is for everyone to use AGPL then the open-source playing field is level again.
The article says that even a non-permissive license (such as GPL) won't stop Amazon from taking your code and running it as their own service.
