This is very weird comment. Are you saying that the USA was not a multi-ethnic/multi-religious state in the 1960s?

In a nation state, politics tend to be divided more on ideological and regional lines, because everyone shares an identity.
There has never been a "nation" where everybody shares an identity in the sense discussed above.

Check mongoDB's SSPL FAQ (https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license...).

As far as I'm concerned, SSPL is superior to AGPL in that it catches all the bits that make your software actually work, forcing you to include them as part of the offering. I honestly don't understand the apparent objection to referring to a license with such a clause as open source - all it does is close a (major imo) loophole.
Oh right I didn't mean that a different breed of "tech company" gets to outcompete incumbents, just that an industry's prevailing view of software as "just another cost center" cedes way over time to software as core to the business — which can happen through internal transformation or through external disruption. Software eventually becomes a core component of almost every industry.

I think the point is at least both sensors wouldn't fail literally at the same exact second. There would be a period of time where the sensors are disagreeing, and that would alert the pilot about what is going on.
I'm very skeptical of this methodology, since it's completely correlational. Here's how I would run this study as a publisher if I used an ad network that lets the publisher turn off personalization on a per-pageview level (like Google's ads, which I work on: https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/7678538?hl=en). I would run an A/B test of personalized ads vs non-personalized. This is simple, and very robust since it's controlled.

My expectation is that if a big US news publisher tried this they would see much more than a 4% difference, but that's speculation on my part.
Every enforcement agency at every level does selective enforcement. Nobody has the resources to go after every case of law-breaking.

I wonder was it something he had been thought at school or did he learn it from media/internet/friends later on. I'm Polish and I remember history classes on Tesin in 1938 or Poland's involvement in 1968 invasion. But I also see a lot of history whitewashing from nationalist movements succesfully penetrating the society.

I too used to hitchhike in the Balkans and usually tried to avoid politics or sensitive subjects but I guess I wouldn't be able to resist myself in this case. Probably ending up thrown out by the driver considering current Poland-Russia relations. Sad how people in Central/Eastern Europe are still traumatized by the consequences of WW2.

Many things being taught in college today will be out-of-date by the time a current college student dies. But I think you're overstating the proportion which that applies to, and discounting the usefulness of that knowledge between now and when it's no longer useful. Most of what's really subject to change is the stuff on the outer edges of fields, which is mostly only being taught to people specializing in those fields. Most of the rest is in relatively new fields (much of computer science) and people in new fields are going to have to work to keep up anyway.
If all you are using is ground-based position/speed, then you are ignoring the very real possibility that the air you are flying through is not stationary relative to the ground. In actual fact, especially at high altitudes, the air can be moving very fast, and the difference between ground speed and airspeed can be the difference between flying and stalling.

Also, your GPS measurements give you position, direction, and speed, but they don't give you orientation. You would have to have another instrument to feed that into the system (such systems exist).

But yes, it would be a sanity check.

> Look, I love the idea of aliens, but try to apply Occam's Razor here. What's less complicated?

I said nothing about aliens--you did. In fact, the only interpretation I offered was that the object appeared to demonstrate awareness of the aircraft sent to intercept it. Everything else I wrote was simply reporting the observations of the pilots and naval radar.

> An uncommon, but natural phenomenon in which a ball of plasma (or similar) is temporarily attracted to fast-moving, metallic aircraft.

Did you watch the video I linked? Your explanation bears no resemblance to the phenomenon observed by the Navy: Radar contacts were observed over several days demonstrating bizarre yet consistent behavior. When an aircraft was sent to intercept, the pilot made visual contact with two objects, one beneath the ocean surface and one maneuvering erratically 20,000 feet in the air. The airborne object began mirroring the pilot's movements and then retreated when the pilot flew at it. Radar contact with the object was then established 60 miles away at the position the pilot was returning to, as if the object was anticipating the pilot's intended movement.

In no way does the reported phenomenon bear any resemblance to "a ball of plasma attracted to fast-moving, metallic aircraft."

> An advanced, spacefaring race (or races) travel to Earth and spend over 70 years pulling pranks on military pilots.

I have not speculated on the provenance of the phenomenon--you have.

> Again, I'm no physicist, but consider something like walking through a cloud of flying dandelion seeds. The air currents created by the person walking through the cloud create little vortices that tend to pull the seeds in their "wake" toward them. That doesn't mean the dandelion seeds are "aware" of the person they're being pulled toward.

The charitable interpretation of your comments is that you haven't watched the video and listened to the commander's testimony--and why not? Alternatively, you have, but you're still posting these interpretations that bear no relation to the reported observations--and why would you do that?
MongoDB was already AGPL, but that didn't suffice. Amazon simply took the free version of MongoDB, as is, deployed it on its systems in a scalable way, and sold that to customers. They gave the code for MongoDB away, per the terms of the AGPL.

Hence, the need for a new license.

However, they seem to have kept the deployment infrastructure as a trade secret, and since that didn't interact directly with MongoDB's interfaces, it șes that it really didn't come under the scope of the AGPL.
The money could have been eaten up by the advertiser.

If the untargeted ads lead to less valuable placements, then it will hurt the revenue of the advertiser.

Short term, both the ad network and publisher can get away with bad placement and make the same amount of money. It will take longer for the advertiser to see the loss in conversion and reduce their spend accordingly.

I've read several of these articles about the MAX and I'm not seeing the explanation for how allowing MCAS to fly the plane only on input from AOA sensors (1, 2 or 5) is different from asking pilots to fly the plane with a fogged-up windscreen. Why not cross-check against the true horizon, for example? Doesn't seem safer to unnecessarily disregard context.

>I still consider SSPL to be "free software" very much within the ideals that movement, regardless of what the OSI says.

SSPL is less free than most of propertiary EULAs. It is literally impossible to comply with the section 13 of the license.

SSPL requires the user to release the source code of everything they are using to host their service and license it under the terms of SSPL. Everything, that even includes operating system and firmware of the server used to host the user's service. No one is able to do that.

I don't understand how can anyone defend that awful license.
> After turning on, it starts applying security updates. Good. One month at a time. There are many months. This is bad.

I have the same experience with a Pixel.

Today I bought a heavily discounted brand new Pixel 2, because I wanted to try (pure) Android (and migrate to pure AOSP afterwards). After booting the device, I was downloading updates for 6 hours while doing nothing else. I really wanted to like this phone, as I don't like iOS either. But I was disappointed. Not a polished experience at all.

First many updates of applications. Fine. Quite quick. Then updating Android 8 to 9. Quite quick too. Then an insane loop of installing nth security update and rebooting. Why can't I get a fresh image in a single step? [1] Especially given that this is a flagship device from Google itself?

Furthermore, the process is really slow and full of glitches. Sometimes updates would stop downloading because there was phone activity, yet I never touched the phone throughout the process. After every update, my phone would spend a lot of time and energy "optimizing apps" (bytecompiling?) only to request rebooting and doing the same thing again and again. Very wasteful.

Lastly, I never got any notification once updates where installed and a reboot was necessary. So I had to keep checking to speed up the process.

Updating from Android 8 to 9 was quick, but there was also a serious glitch I didn't mention. I don't have a wireless connection, just LTE. For some time, there was no option to force the update to be downloaded using LTE! After installing some app or rebooting, suddenly an option to go ahead and use LTE showed up in the same window where previously there was none.

Also, the default settings in my out-of-the-box Pixel 2 out drained battery quite quickly, which I found shocking. Only after disabling NFC, bluetooth, location services and a few other things battery consumption was quite reasonable. I think also lots of services were initially polling for updates, and this drained energy.

[1] Apparently you can do this with adb. Many other users have had the same frustrating experience, though: https://reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/b04yxp/brand_new_p...

Well, pretty much expected for Google software on Android. Surprisingly, the base OS is fine, it's just the proprietary stuff on top that sucks. You're unlikely to get Fi working with AOSP, but it looks like you're unlikely to get it working anyway.

All of these are activities that can be better done by specialized people and are boring as hell.

Sure, but you could hire independent specialists with exactly the skills you need rather than relying on your publisher's choices, and still retain overall control of your work and the process of distributing it yourself.

If a publisher provides some degree of overall project management as well then evidently there is also a space for professionals to offer that service independently to those authors who don't wish to get involved in such matters themselves.

Even if you have the patience to do this part, most probably the book design will look amateurish.

Perhaps, but the bookshelf next to me clearly demonstrates that big name publishers are capable of producing poorly designed, crudely illustrated, naively typeset, negligibly edited rubbish too.
There are similarities and differences. The thing I wrote to run everything locally obviously doesn't call out to external services; it runs everything it needs locally. I also didn't use the xDS Envoy APIs, instead opting to statically generating a config file (though with the envoyproxy/go-control-plane library, because I do plan on implementing xDS at some point in the future).

What I have is as follows. Every app in our repository is in its own directory. Every app gets a config file that says how to run each binary that the app is composed of (we use grpc-web, so there's usually a webpack-dev-server frontend and a go backend). Each binary names what ports it wants, and what the Envoy route table would look like to get traffic from the main server to those ports. The directory config also declares dependencies on other directories.

We then find free ports for each port declared in a config file, allocating one for the service to listen on (only Envoy will talk to it on this port), and one for other services to use to talk to that service. The service listening addresses become environment variables named like $PORTNAME_PORT, only bound for that app. The Envoy listener becomes $APPNAME_PORTNAME_ADDRESS, for other services to use.

Once Envoy has started up, we then start up each app. The order they start in doesn't matter anymore, because any gRPC clients the apps create can just start talking to Envoy without caring whether or not the other apps are ready yet. And, because each app can contribute routes to a global route table, you can visit the whole thing in your browser and every request goes to the right backend.

I used Envoy instead of just pointing the apps at each other directly with FailFast turned off because I needed the ability to send / to a webpack frontend and /api/ through a grpc-web to grpc transcoder, and would have used Envoy for that anyway. This strategy makes it feel like you're just running a big monolith, while getting all the things that you'd expect with microservices; retries via Envoy, statistics for every edge on the service mesh, etc. And it's fast, unlike rebuilding all your containers and pushing to minikube.

It kind of solves the same problems as docker-compose, but without using Docker.
Agree. It's absurd how many conclusions have been drawn from one flawed study of a single publisher.

I'm super happy with my Ecobee. On multiple occasions I've gone on long trips and forgotten to put the A/C on vacation mode. It's real nice to be able to control it from my phone.

Similarly, the City of Austin has an energy savings program in summer where on hot days they will (with your consent) remotely turn up all connected smart A/Cs by a few degrees, which drastically reduces strain on the electric grid. I think I got $75 when I joined. And it can be overridden, so overall it has been a great boon.
Well jail for drug/alcohol abusers doesn't work. It's just another weak wristed attempt to paper over the problem. Like throwing mentally ill people in jail. I mean, I get it. There's no place else to put them. But it only makes the problem worse. You could have users, potentially anyway, be in the same jail as their dealer. (Even in the same cell.) It's just lunacy.

What you really need are real mental health facilities that police, families and courts can call on. You need real drug rehab facilities that police, families and courts can call on. We've tried to turn jails into mental health and rehab facilities and we're wondering why it doesn't work.

Well, that's not what a jail is for.
