It doesn't have that meaning to me.

The US have been the instigator in quite a number of wars of aggression, with devastating consequences for the countries targeted and the people living in them.

> The prime majority of people have no genuine need to own a home

Many people, including me, value being able to do anything they want to the property, live in it as long as they want, know how much it will be costing them years into the future, and never have someone enter without their permission even (landlords can legally do this if there's an urgent maintenance problem). In my last rental I could not even paint the living room. They may also appreciate the opportunity to participate in any appreciation.

After buying books about blender, spending many hours and trying to learn it, I personally find that is still a big pain to use it, but this is a different question (and we can't blame propietary software for it; can we?).

The real problem with blender is not if is free software or not, IMHO. Maybe Blender is the next low hanging fruit in the eyes of "put big company here". A clon provided with a few buttons here and there, some money for marketing and voilá, "we invented this zuppa-new thing that is great". Has happened before.

Healthcare is under stress everywhere, but those of you in the USA who don't understand how fundamentally broken your system is need to give your heads a shake. It's precisely because of how it's treated like a business first, thinking that competition is the solution to the problem, and applying other business principles is the way to improvement that things are the way they are. Read medical forums like KevinMD and you hear constantly about highly trained physicians ready to abandon the profession because they're treated like automatons, high suicide rates, and the best way to find a side hustle because their jobs suck so badly. Your country is being held back by the ludicrous way healthcare is structured, citizens shackled to employers, with the worst results for money spent anywhere in the civilized world. Citizens are so brainwashed they're unwilling to acknowledge the ideological morass that created and sustains this all. People who remain so frightened when people say the word 'socialism' that they double down on stupidity. Or refuse to look outside your borders because you're self-evidently the greatest country on earth. Pitiful.
All current public-key encryption, and short-key private-key encryption yes. XChaCha20-Poly1305 will still be safe. AES-256 (in an appropriate authenticated mode of operation and side-channel free implementation) will still be safe.

As for public-key encryption there are as-yet standardized algorithms that are likely secure. They're just slow. The NIST standardization should wrap up decades before any practical quantum computer is created, giving plenty of time to add some of these as options in protocols.

Completely agree. I made my own little browser (with ad blocker built in to the network layer) using CEF simply because there was not an easy to use FF equivalent library.

Well, on that part I was referring more specifically to the vdev mess and raidz, how you cannot just add a disk to the file system. Which is pretty silly, considering that at the time there were plenty of ideas how to do it much better, although not for disks, but for nodes in distributed systems. But apparently no one on ZFS team had any idea about any of it.

Google vs Oracle is about reimplementation of an API. So if someone came along and created a software that provided a Blender-like API, then that shouldn't be violating copyright.

Usually GPL software that provide an API that would allow proprietary software to be built on it tend to have an exception for the API. From what I understand, Blender doesn't provide that.
As for many things, there's a nice Knausgaard quote about this:

> That’s what distance does; when the time between conversations gets longer, intimacy diminishes, the little things connected to one’s daily life lose their place, it seems odd to talk about a shirt you just bought or to mention you’re thinking of leaving the dishes until morning when you haven’t spoken to a person for two weeks or a month, that absence would seem instead to call for more important topics, and once they begin to determine the conversation there’s no turning back, because then it’s two diplomats exchanging information about their respective realms in a conversation that needs to be started up from scratch, in a sense, every time, which gradually becomes tedious, and eventually it’s easier not to bother phoning at all, in which case it’s even harder the next time, and then suddenly it’s been half a year of silence.

I'm a guy and I like phone calls to friends, but I let them wander organically with little pressure. Of course, my friends and I have lives where it's not a big deal to set aside an hour or two for meandering conversation, and not everybody does. But wandering conversation is such a high-utility activity for me that I'm happy to do so. At any rate, it beats watching Netflix or whatever by a mile -- I remain confused by how many people say they have no time for friends but also consume a bunch of solo entertainment. I guess if your free time comes in unpredictably scheduled half hour blocks it might simultaneously be hard to plan hangouts and easy to watch TV, but I don't think most people have that kind of life, outside of maybe certain sets of parents of young children?

> But as soon as you build a business model around this - poof - rate limiting -> some TOS violation claim pops up.

If bandwidth was at the core of my business model, I would certainly want to pay for it separately to avoid possible interruptions. In case of OVH, I assume, that's what "Bandwidth upgrade"[1] with a "limit of 20 Gbps per customer, and per datacentre" is designed for. It's not unreasonable to consider "spinning up to 10 cheapest cloud instances to avoid bandwidth limits" as a service abuse.

Maybe all the confusion seen in this thread about what does and doesn't fall under GPL is the reason people take issue with it, moreso than what it actually does.
I guess that's true, but mobile device IP addresses cover a pretty wide area so it's not terribly precise.
Brood War had (has) a ladder system and then there were external leagues such as ICCUP that has ranking as well.
As an example, the initial safety assessment may assume that a) 5mm is the limit for crack width, and b) by the time cracks are 1mm wide, they will be 2mm wide a month later, and, because of that growth rate, pick 2mm as the “take out of commission now” point (nb: numbers 100% made up; for illustration only)

If, in real life, it turns out that it takes a year for a crack to grow from 1mm to 2mm, the model used can be improved. Result _could_ be that the “take out of commission now” point gets moved to 3mm.

They also may remove some stuff with 2mm cracks and test it for strength, and learn more about how the stuff behaves after being irradiated for decades. That, too, can change (in either direction) the life expectancy of the reactor.
How easy is it to extend Meson for languages that it doesn't ship support for by default? That always seemed to be one of the strong points of SCons/something many modern build systems don't support so well.

On the other hand, rents and home prices are already unaffordable in many urban areas. If building infrastructure outside the most densely populated areas becomes a purely private responsibility, it will exacerbate these issues.
Those costs get paid for by homeowners generally. Any extension of utilities gets paid for by the developer and passed on when the home is sold.
With perfect enforcement, the fine could be small enough (e.g. $2) to be insignificant for most of us (maybe I need to swerve around an animal once per year) but significant enough to deter persistent offenders (who would rack up $20 in fines per journey).

That. I see tons of posts of under/fresh grads trying to use microservices, k8s and TerraForm for their tiny < 100 qps apps.

A properly designed monolith on a dedicated server/VM can easily serve tens of thousands of users just fine and will be far easier to maintain than this mess (plus way cheaper as well).

The main advantage of those tools is when you have a number of distributed teams and you want to scale to millions of users. For nearly anything else, a far smaller setup is what you want.

Wheat is not a sensible method of getting protein. Comparing against wheat on a protein basis is a worst case comparison. Also lots of cheap meat protein is created by feeding things like wheat and soy to animals, rather than grass fed (although maybe most meat in Australia is meat fed, I don't know about it).
I don't know many skinny vegetarians. Eating nothing but carbs and butter is vegetarian and extremely unhealthy.
...sure, as long as they tag their resources properly.

The closest I got to an org that did this well was a big company that ran Cloud Custodian in all their AWS accounts and if you launched an EC2 instance, it would terminate it immediately with extreme prejudice if it didn't have values for three required tags, one to identify the "owner" individually and two for accounting purposes.

The only problem with that is there's no mechanism to make sure that the values of the cost centers values were correct. There was a bit of a scandal when one group (who presumably just copied and pasted a bunch of CloudFormation from another group's repo) was running 5 figures a months of infrastructure under the other group's billing codes.

ALSO, as many have said, bandwidth is a big part of the cost, and at this time it's nearly impossible to do showback/chargeback on bandwidth. There may be a way to do it using Flow Logs by correlating IP addresses to instances and using those tags, but I've never heard of someone doing this successfully.

But this actually matters! While your example makes it sound indeed silly, full "life-cycle assessments" and counting externalities matters. Permit me to take your example to an even more farcical end: imagine there was a correlation between bikers eating beef and bus commuter being vegetarians - in such a silly world the bus commuters would probably be much greener even though the bus is a gas guzzler. The problem is that with nuclear these analyses are really complicated, and should not be dismissed out of hand. I do believe that nuclear energy is very important in the fight against global warming, but such dismissals do not help convince people of it.

That's almost certainly bullshit on the CEO's part.

Agreed. My point was playing with hosts file is definitely not something easy on a mobile, or something most people would want to bother with. Especially when it comes to adding exceptions and getting some sites to work.

For computers and Android devices Firefox and uBO are far more capable solution than DNS blocking, at least when it comes to browsing.
Yeah. The idea of a world where every piece of software is free and open is a nice one, but unfortunately we live in a society where people have to be compensated for their time in order to live, and doing support won't always cut it.

Edit: To be clear, I'm not downplaying that ideal, only pointing out that at least in the United States it's pretty unrealistic. In some other western countries they don't balk at the idea of public funding for projects that benefit society, and those would be one example of taking steps towards that more idealized world.
As an aside: After 20 years of IRC usage I read and write rot13 without any technical aids (mostly due to the first 2 years of quakenet). I wouldn't be surprised if you'd find someone who can speak it :)

Right on point.

Right now we can only trust Yelp words, and the way their software behave it's far from transparent. And it gives exactly the opposite impression.

Last I checked, Ardour was fairly easy to install from a git checkout, at least on Linux. Their website advises uses to install the paid binary instead, but in practice it's easier to install from source than Blender IME.
Scons is almost 20 years old at this point. There are projects like waf that tried to fix it but ended up incompatible (and faster and more usable).

Scons has great ideas, but something either about the implementation or about reality fails to deliver.

In what way does open source prevent you from attempting to do that?
Well, in the previous model you had a balance that you could top up, similar to what you describe. Not all articles were the same price though (generally between 20 cents and 1 euro).
>And it wouldn't even interfere with their competitive edge, since the software isn't their business. They don't have to care about the GPL as long as the software does what they want.

Most developers know this, but company managers that forbid open source contribution don't understand this. That's why I'm personally not too much against source available licensing. It's the only language old companies understand.
Yes if your goal was to be as independent from the grid as possible. My guess is most people putting them on their roof mostly care about minimizing their long term energy expenditure net of costs.
What if there were a license that made all hobbyist and educational use free and open source, and all commercial use propriety with kickbacks to devs?

Would that resolve your hemispheric conflict?
Inventions probably[1] have created positive value. It's certainly possible to derive positive value from them by just not using harmful inventions. That is basically what the Amish are trying to do.

That doesn't mean that most inventions are beneficial. It's very much possible that only 5% are beneficial but their benefits outweigh the harm done by the other 95%.

Useful inventions don't need advertising to spread. They even did so during the middle ages. No one ran adverts to sell crop rotation. It spread because it's a good idea. It took a while but that's because compared to today, information and transportation networks basically didn't exist.

Advertising as we know it today isn't even helpful for spreading useful inventions. Yes, there are ads for them, but they are crowded out by useless ones. If the message we get from advertising is

> DRINK SUGARY WATER. KYS WITH CIGARETTES. YOU'RE WORTHLESS WITHOUT CARBON CRYSTALS. DRINK SUGARY WATER. KYS WITH CIGARETTES. YOU'RE WORTHLESS WITHOUT CARBON CRYSTALS. ELECTRIC LIGHT IS GREAT. DRINK SUGARY WATER. KYS WITH CIGARETTES. YOU'RE WORTHLESS WITHOUT CARBON CRYSTALS. DRINK SUGARY WATER. KYS WITH CIGARETTES. YOU'RE WORTHLESS WITHOUT CARBON CRYSTALS.

you could argue that speeding up the spread of electric light is worth the damage done by advertising. But what happens here is that garbage ads crowd out the actual useful information. It's hidden like a needle is haystack. Information overload and the associated stress reduces people's ability to find the useful information and to actually think about what they need and want.

The alternative is not to abolish communication. You don't need ads for people to learn about products that are useful to them. That's in their interests so they will seek out newspapers, magazines etc. that report about new products — aiming to serve and inform the customers that buy them rather than the producers that want to sell their products whether they someone needs them or not. The above wall of text would not be replaced by nothing but by "FYI: electric light exists. Its advantages are.... but keep in mind that...." — information rather than spam.
