> Because ip cameras are shipped with binary Linux kernel images they should also provide either the exact source used or an offer of how to get the source.

These kind of devices can lead to an interesting situation.

Let's say you make Linux-based IP cameras. You accompany every single one you ship with a CD-ROM containing the complete source code. This completely satisfies your GPL obligation with regard to that unit.

As a consumer, I buy one of your cameras. I have no use for the CD-ROM, check my trash collection company website to find out if CD-ROMs go in trash or recycling, and come next collection day it is gone.

A few months later I don't need the camera any more and sell it used on eBay.

The buyer eventually realizes it is a Linux-based camera and wants the source code.

Q: Who, if anyone, is obligated to provide that source code?

A: As far as I can tell, no one!

You are off the hook because you accompanied every binary copy you distributed with the source code. You would only be obligated to third parties if you had elected to distribute the binary without source and accompany it with a written offer to provide the source.

I'm off the hook because my distribution falls under the first sale doctrine, which basically says that if you own a lawfully made particular copy it is not a violation of copyright to sell that particular copy.
Here's a statement [1] by one of the largest upcoming surveys, LSST. At least for them, this isn't going to be too much of a problem as,

1) Exposures are fairly short and frequent and so pixels contaminated by these satellites can be easily rejected.
2) There is a huge amount of resources (relative to other projects) going into the image pipeline for this project.

I don't actually know in details how much this will affect other types of observations though. [2] is the IAU's statement (that goes with that image), which points out some types of observations that might be more affected.

> Maybe we need a better system. Maybe we dislike the system we have, but we can't have a better one. Maybe we need better people. But, you can't change human nature.

Do you have some sort of evidence for that? "We can't have a better (system)" is a pretty bold statement to make without some kind of supporting evidence. Absolute truths require absolute evidence.
If Sparkfun or Adafruit decided to take over Maker Media's operations (print media and events) that would be so great.
> "Wanna help me move?" is my favorite. Nothing like getting a free workout with a friend or family. You might even get a dinner out of it too.

Oh cool, nothing like giving up an entire day for the possibility of a permanent back injury or accidentally damaging someone's furniture all because they're too cheap to drop a few hundred dollars on some professional movers.
Google needs that kind of SEO junk as much as anybody else who publishes in the play store, because somehow depsite google's general excellence at search the search function in the play store is still garbage.
Accelerating Endpoint Inferencing
For sure. I see it when I work in my yard late into the summer. As it gets dark I've made sparks with shovels, picks and quite often the teeth on the excavator bucket will scrape a rock and make some pretty good sparks.
I agree. I would have been fine if the new control panel superseded the old version but since Win8 we have this schizophrenic situation where we have two control panels that both have features the other version doesn't have. Win10 is a little better but you still need the old panel for plenty
of things.
Rapidly depreciating assets can change this equation. In that case it’s vastly harder to scale back to breakeven.

Think of a VR arcade at a local mall, at the point the decide not to buy new equipment they have effectively already failed. The question is simply do they get more money from liquidation or continue running the business into the ground.
Yes I'm familiar with Racket.
`git log -p` is vastly superior to `git blame` for determining why a file is the way it is.
It's funny to see the gradient in the title bar, contrasting with the bland borderless-sea-of-whiteness of the rest of the UI.

> FilesUwp.Package_0.5.0.0_x64.zip 54.4 MB

Nearly 55MB, compressed, for something that attempts to mimic some of the functionality of the regular explorer.exe, is quite frankly ridiculous. I don't have a system to check right now, but I believe even latest Windows 10 has an explorer.exe < 5MB (uncompressed), and it certainly seems to have a lot more functionality than this one. A peek at the code gives a hint as to why... the first file I look at is this

https://github.com/duke7553/files-uwp/blob/master/Files%20UW...

and the first thing I see is not exactly confidence-inspiring:

if(tabInstance.AlwaysPresentCommands.isEnabled == true)
{
tabInstance.AlwaysPresentCommands.isEnabled = true;
}
else
{
tabInstance.AlwaysPresentCommands.isEnabled = false;
}

...WTF.

It seems that everything "UWP" I come across follows the same trend: a lot of code, a lot of resource consumption, some flashy "modern" UI, yet very little in the way of actual functionality.
Whether Apple will exercise the power or not is another debate entirely.

I agree with the group that's (rightfully, imo) concerned about handing over this amount of power over their business to any 3rd party. There's a real potential for abuse.
What you might be missing is some complex technical reason why the mouse control panel cannot be easily migrated. For example, a lot of drivers integrate their own tabs into the mouse control panel for features.

The slow migration from control panel to settings is actually, in my opinion, one of the better ways Microsoft has done software development. We aren't waiting 5 years for them to migrate 20 years of settings and we aren't stuck with a limited version 1.0 product without sufficient features.
Thought I would mention pip-tools as an option to manage requirements.txt.
https://github.com/JunoLab/atom-latex-completions is one that does this.
I'd guess the print part was the downfall.

The Faires were licensed and should have been cash cows (I see local one is still selling tickets).
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Jim Crow, morality squads, Japanese internment; what's going to be next? Cage the children, force pelvic exams on the women, etc...

You are not a free country until justice is equal and applied to each person, no excuses. That takes eternal vigilance and eternal effort.
Huh? Add a handful of lines of code in your iOS/Mac app to add another login button or implement a whole server based authentication scheme? Maintain and keep secure the server based authentication for the lifetime of your app? That is not at all likely given the relative cost in money and time between the two choices.
no, these are not memes. they are real. ask any CS graduate to write this game. my guess it will be at least 5 GB of libraries and a dozen of microservices.
I did this for my Chrome extension that audits websites for web best practices: https://www.checkbot.io/

It started as a collection of scripts I wrote to test localhost + production websites for problems while I was doing web development. Other developers I knew were keen to try a user friendly version so I polished the interface and released it as a product.
A totally naive point of view, but it would be awesome if some players in the maker space that are profitable (Adafruit, R-Pi, Arduino etc..) could band together and form a non-profit to keep this effort going. The maker community is generally so very non-corporate that I'd hope a partisan organization would be easy to form and run with out individual agendas or products getting involved in any overwhelming way.
The world needs more good software than another person making toy electronics IMO.

I see them as a hobby for electronics people, non-programmer computer types, or just for fun for anyone. But given a choice between some cute electronic that won't leave my house and building a web or github based side project that thousands of people could potentially use, I'd go with the latter every time.

I say that after giving up on my own gaming electronics thing I was building until I realized my time could be better spent and I could buy a finished one from China for half the price.
People keep saying this with extreme confidence; I’m not sure I buy it.

Certainly recurrent networks in general are not obsolete, even if attention/convolution works better for some applications.

Perhaps one ought to try GRU before LSTM but there’s no reason to suppose that it would dominate in all cases.
If you open the properties of a folder, you can see how long it can take to calculate the size of a folder.

This is a feature I've never really needed - what is your scenario for needing this at a glance? When I'm chasing large files that need deleting due to free space pressure I typically use something like the following https://windirstat.net/
Maker Faire did so much good. No matter what happens, I know thousands of people saw a Maker in themselves because of MAKE and Maker Faire. I know it inspired me.
On iOS, the app is named "Google Maps - Transit & Food." Food!

Fortunately the App Store name can be different from the app name once installed, which remains "Google Maps."
I was curious about the stark discrepancy between your numbers and the parent's, so I did some quick research.

I think you're both kind of right. Reuters writes:

>In 2015, Uber passengers were paying only 41 percent of the actual cost of their trips, according to an analysis by transportation industry consultant Hubert Horan, based on financial statements from Uber. [0]

Of course that's four years ago. What about 2018 numbers? An interesting article makes some allegations about Uber deliberately inflating their profits [1] and making it difficult to tease apart the details:

>When Uber abandoned its failed Chinese, Russian and Southeast Asian operations, the dominant local companies gave Uber equity and debt instruments to partially compensate it for providing them an easier path to market dominance. These non-tradeable instruments only exist because of Uber’s decision to discontinue operations, but Uber includes their $5 billion value in “Net Income From Continuing Operations”

>The current accounting value of these assets is based entirely on Uber’s judgement as to what paper issued by companies currently losing massive amounts of money might be worth someday. [5] If one takes Uber’s judgements at face value, one could conclude that Uber’s only profitable activity is getting paid off for discontinuing staggering unprofitable markets.

..as well as..

>Lyft’s IPO prospectus presented ridesharing unit revenue data but Uber did not. Uber only presented the sum of car service and food delivery trips, so prospectus readers couldn’t figure out what customers were paying for the two services separately, or how prices for the two services have changed. The combined data suggest that both growth rates and pricing was declining in the second half of 2018, but prospectus readers have no way to identify the underlying problems, or whether those problem are likely to get worse.

Interesting note, the author of this project is still in high school.
Let's really call it what it is then: pro-choice and anti-choice. The issue has less to do with abortion and more to do with bodily autonomy. The anti-choice side feels that once you're impregnated, you should relinquish your independence. A lot of them don't care about the circumstances (rape, incest, etc) or the health of the woman carrying the burden (it's ok if you die if that baby lives) and they sure don't care about the actual life of the child once it's out (no public health care, cut funding to social programs, reduce spending on public schools). This is a control issue.

Few people are "pro-abortion" but lots of people are ant-choice. So if we're gonna be accurate...
It isn't redundant because it blocks crap LAN-wide regardless of the app used.

I'm guessing you meant fuse. And totally agree.
I was a Make magazine subscriber since the second year and gave several gift subscriptions. I contributed a couple of small (unpaid) pieces to the magazine, and was an exhibitor (also unpaid) multiple times at the NYC Maker Faire. I thoroughly enjoyed the Maker Faire set-up days and thought they made exhibiting worthwhile. It was like having a back-stage pass to the Oscars of Makerdom - all the stars were there and happy to talk shop. I knew I was creating free content for them that they were profiting from but thought I was getting a fair deal.

My subscription lapsed just about every year for some glitch or another and they were unable to convert any of the gift subscriptions which should have been very easy sales.

My opinion about supporting Make Media changed after the RealSexyCyborg incident in the winter of 2017:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kassycho/a-male-ceo-has...

Bunnie Haung (who I met at a Maker Faire set-up day) vouched for her and Dale still persisted in slandering her. I let my subscription lapse and quit going to the NYC Maker Faire. 2017 was the Maker Faire highest attendance and has been declining since then.
The few reasons to use blockchain at this time is to maintain an optic of trust: that even if you don't fully trust the provider of the token, you can trust the transparency provided by the technology. My judgment is that FB is positioning itself to be ready for when or if the space finds its "mosaic" moment. Otherwise, it is still an investment in a novel tech that is already proven useful for money transference; large sums of money have already been put up by the sector to mitigate and update regulatory risk and compliance.
I feel like for 8 and 9, the right answer is actually that you are uncomfortable and don't like it.

The only people who would deny those things are phonies who aren't in touch with themselves. Accept it, acknowledge it, account for the bias it brings. Then maybe one could work on it.
I agree, the move is user hostile and the bad PR wouldn't likely be worth it for Apple. Social media shaming is a real thing, and I'm glad for that.

I'll even go one step further and say that I personally don't think Apple will do it unless under extreme circumstances.

The thing is though, business continuity assessment still points to adopting Apple login to be a bad idea. You never really know when you'll find yourself in hot water with one of your vendors, especially a vendor who's a LOT more powerful than you.
I thought so too, given that MS has already released the source of the original File Manager:

https://github.com/microsoft/winfile

...and it compiles to a nice small and fast ~300KB executable, in contrast to their open-sourced and significantly less efficient UWP calculator:

https://github.com/microsoft/calculator

I believe the old leaked Win2k source has much of the explorer.exe source, if you're really curious.
What I like about this article (despite slightly too much babbling) is a CS undergrad using lessons from Psychology and History to shape his thinking and conclusions.

This was not happening 10 years back.

In my experience the majority of 30 and 40 year olds in Tech today pushing AI code out have no clue who Kahneman, Hariri and Pinker are.

So expect subprime meltdowns/Trump/Brexit type unintended bullshit for a few more years till the psychologist+historian+sociologist coders take over.
Rather ingenious head. It's translucent plastic, and they project a moving face on it. Looks pretty good.

i also noticed the app matching the in-store price based on location. and yup, store employees will match online prices without question, but only if you ask.

i don't shop there much anymore, but i've done bopus (buy online, pick up in store) before to get the online price directly.
GDPR doesn't incentivize shit.

Markets incentivize. State bullies, coerces and steals.

GDPR has been a failure.
This proposal requires imaginary materials straight out of comic book super-science. The proposed tantalum-hafnium-carbide material does have a very high melting point, but it will be destroyed by the molten uranium and its chemically diverse fission products.

If one were inclined to try to run "combustion in reverse" on a grand scale, to turn CO2 back into carbon and oxygen, the Bosch reaction seems a far more practical way to get there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosch_reaction

It runs at hundreds instead of thousands of degrees. The iron catalyst is cheap and abundant. The only required inputs are carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Since the reaction is thermodynamically spontaneous, the input gases can be produced from the cheapest available clean electricity (intermittent or otherwise) and stored in tank buffers.

CO2-to-graphite via the Bosch process would still be a project of breathtaking scale that would cost trillions of dollars. So it won't happen. But building a proof-of-concept would be affordable and straightforward, which is more than I can say for this nuclear-thermal decomposition proposal.
one can hope that front-end and back-end are truly separated

Looks like they're very serious about security/privacy.
Google aggregates all its data points about me and sells that as a service to advertisers. It makes sense. Advertisers want to pay for ads that will lead to sales.

Yes Apple sells ads on its AppStore and allows ads in apps. But what they sell is the chance to be in front of a billion affluent iOS owners which is different than using every bit of data from every Google property to create a profile of a user so as to target ads even more effectively or show you even more extreme videos to keep you ever more engaged a la YouTube.
> I have always been a bit salty of make media’s attempt to own the term “maker”

The concept of "people who build stuff as a hobby" is not really new at all. The coining of the term "maker" is, and honestly feels a little awkward to me. However, its possible they were part of the coining of that term, so its probably okay that they tried to capitalize on it.

Maybe if we had a more general/less-branded term to use, it wouldn't feel so forced.
You're just talking about 'explorer.exe' being 5 mb? You're discounting the numerous DLLs which the explorer uses, or even other shared resources which are used system-wide.

And 55 MB for a native app is paltry. Even the 'Google' app on Android is 285 MB, the Gallery app of OnePlus is 70 MB.
Personally, I have read a few thousand books but I have not bought a physical book for myself in years.

When I ride the subway and I see a lot of people reading on devices and relatively few books. Book sales seem to be propped up by gifts, where regular readers love the convenience.

This is especially true of older readers who love being able to increase the fount size.

>There's one remote reason I can think of that people would flip to stablecoins vs fiat if they had some tax view that that wasn't a constructive sale and it could benefit from some likekind kind of treatment since its a "crypto" and not a "fiat". It's obviously a silly argument and there's no way the IRS would fall for it (nor do they even accept it between regular cryptos) but i can't speak for other jurisdictions.

The IRS have already made explicit that crypto to crypto is taxable and treated as capital gains/loss. Some stay in stablecoin so that they can be more liquid in the ecosystem. Simply, there are more exchange pairs for stablecoins, and some stablecoin allow storage in personal hardware wallet rather than exchanges.
The co-op model is basically my last sentence and the fees/restrictions are a lot higher than most people want from a maker space. It can definitely work, though. Also it's important to distinguish between maker space and hacker space. The latter can be profitable since you're often making your money renting out communal working space ala the WeWork model. The former is a lot harder to pull off.
I don't see why the size of the folder couldn't be written to the folder's metadata every time the folder contents are modified.

I'll bite on the first one. Cash has a complex infrastructure underpinning it - legislating, printing, securing, distributing, managing policy / rates, etc. It keeps the dollar you get today (mostly) spendable tomorrow. You're simply so accustomed to it you ignore it. Same way most people don't think about the pistons on their car, now that the user experience of driving is straighforward. Eventually folks will do the same for the complexity underpinning crypto.

Case in point: I bought a new phone from overseas a few weeks ago. Paypal / wire fees were expensive, and after three days TransferWise (suggested by the seller) still couldn't make my new account work. I wound up paying in crypto, took about 5 minutes and cost me less than a buck. So yeah: cash I emailed.

> people who have their own garage / shed / yard are generally much less in need of a maker space

These are the people who also have enough money to actually spend on "doing stuff", but for whom going to a "dedicated space" (away from the home/family) to do it can be a huge inconvenience.
Yes Pearl Harbor changed everything, yet nothing changed. Direct dealing would be illegal, so they simply relayed via IBM Geneva. The book made a convincing case that IBM, and Watson himself continued to deal - and profit - throughout the war. "IBM's direct involvement with Germany ended" is pretty academic if they just started funnelling through a subsidiary.
Starting early is good, but I think he may have gotten sucked into the UWP hype:

If the author is reading this, here's some advice for you: I encourage you to start learning pure Win32 and enjoy the benefits of extreme compatibility (you can create a single .exe that works on anything starting from Windows 95, depending on the exact set of features you want) as well as highly efficient native code. It's what made Microsoft and the Windows platform great in the first place, and it will continue to be the "real Windows API" that has lasted through all the other churning trends.

I started with Win16 (and before that was DOS, so not much to speak of in the way of UI), moved to Win32, and basically stayed there while ignoring all the other newer and more short-lived stuff that came and went.
