The actual Open Source Definition is much like the Free Software Definition, in the letter. A source-available license wouldn't be OSI-approved, so it wouldn't technically be open source.

On the legal side, free software and open source could very well be considered sinonyms (if that makes sense). The actual difference is one of attitude and end-goals.

This argument has been going on for a while, but apparently exploded recently.

Im so conflicted about this. I feel like my left brain is fighting my right brain. Or mom and dad are fighting again.

On one hand, I have been a huge blender fan for over a decade and personally would give away anything I developed for it. Even if it were high quality. I am all for this way of doing it. Kind of forcing a level playing field no matter if you are AAA studio or some broke but talented college student making 3d models.

On the other hand I totally get how those add-on devs feel being officially told "Thanks for all your hard work, but if someone takes your add-on and gives it away, it's fine." - These add-on devs can charge users to download the add-on, not for the add-on. I used to believe it wasnt right to charge for the ability to download a 'free' add-on, but after seeing how high quality some of the addons are, I completely feel they deserve some compensation for improving blender even more.

Basically, I don't even know what's right anymore.
Good question, and we shouldn't need an account to download free apps, just as we don't on the desktop.

Only when I download I paid app do I want to identify myself so that I can download it again.
Bandwidth is insanely expensive on all clouds. If you’re a large consumer, however, you can usually negotiate a much better rate.

I didn't even realize that the companies mission was to create a product that was "healthier." I always assumed that it was to create something that was more sustainable...
It was faster, especially for JavaScript heavy sites... Which is the majority of sites these days it seems.

It took a couple years at least for FF to catch up. I would say for most sites Firefox is now at least as fast while using less RAM.

Now the problem is that Google web apps are tuned for Chrome, so users will complain their gmail is slow on FF.
Agreed, no one should dictate norms.

But I'd rather have expectations of flexibility (e.g., take day off or a short day because didn't sleep well, or family activity, or enjoy the nice weather, or just finished a work crunch), than (I imagine) expectations that, on those 4 days, one had better be there the full day and at least pretending to work.

For some jobs, flexibility could mean that someone can arrange with their manager&team to personally have a predictable 4-day schedule.
The point is: with 'free', people might think they know what it means (it doesn't cost any money), 'libre' is context-specific.
No that’s not how utilities work. Utilities are compensated for the approved capital they invest in infrastructure in the form of higher customer rates.

The upshot of this is that every utility in the country would love nothing more than to underground every overhead line in their service area. The reason this doesn’t happen is because public service commissions, who approve capital plans, aren’t willing to saddle customers with the astronomical costs of undergrounding lines (which runs $2-$3M per mile on distribution, depending on rock content of soil).
They still do that. Same with the POWER servers: you can buy one with "2 CPUs" that actually has more and then enable additional ones "on-demand".
Speaking as an Australian, a “Freedom” prefix makes it sound like yet another cheesy American grab at patriotism.

(This may come across as snark, but it seriously isn’t. “Freedom” anything has been polluted, IMHO)
I woud assume that to be a case of:

1. Big Company gets what it wants because Big. Everybody pretends it’s a loophole, in order to get out of having to get in trouble with Big Company.

2. Smaller later companies uses same “loophole” and nobody can say anything, because that would be tantamount to accusing Big Company of misdeeds, and get into trouble.

I suspect these kind of situations are unstable, since as time goes by, the “loophole” will be abused more and more, and eventually it becomes untenable, and a judge will rule the “loophole” moot, (especially if the statue of limitations has conveniently expired for the crimes of Big Company). This process might be slowed in slower industries like construction and pollution, but I would imagine it to be inevitable.

My point is, since this probably only works because Big Company, it only works in similar situations where point 2 applies. It does not validate the general theory of why such things would be judged to be legal in other situations in other industries.
Veganism is not a health choice for most vegans, it’s an ethical one. Plant-based foods use fewer resources per calorie and do not require cruel treatment of animals.

Correct, this is outside the scope of the study. My point was that there are factors other than correctness that are important. Pron's comment implies that since there is practically no difference in quality shown across languages, that the language choice does not matter. However, clearly there are other factors that are important to consider.
Correction: For the next generation or so it’s a threat to poor humans. Exactly why nothing’s going to happen.
Electron is not anything much different than Chromium Embedded plus some native API hooks, so it's not the Electron parts that eat the resources, it's Chromium (and basically, it's the fact that the app is basically a web app that needs a whole layered and bloated rendering engine -DOM- and a slower runtime - js - compared to native).

Use “sign in with GitLab” as a login for a consumer app? Are you really suggesting that?

This is the real beauty of public key cryptography, you can negotiate a secure channel over an open channel.

You still need sufficient shared information as a starting point to authenticate the other party, so that doesn't really avoid the need for a secure side channel. In practice we often trust that the baseline of certificates that come with a new device or built into a browser are sufficient for this purpose, but there is still an attack surface there and our existing CA infrastructure and processes are not perfect.

We are actually still in an ice age, although currently in a warming period known as an interglacial. All of human civilization has occurred in our present ice age.

Their goal was to make a 100% plant-based alternative to meat that tastes like meat.

Plenty of other reasons to not eat meat. Humaneness toward animals? climate change?

Also, regardless of above, not 100% onboard with the premise. I'll be interested in long-term studies. Impossible has been around less than 10 years.

I just got into AWS last year and this article does not mention my big mistake that I made. Using RDS for a small scale project instead of EC2.

RDS is super expensive and while you're gaining traction and users you might as well use an EC2 instance.

ElasticBeanstalk seemed like an easy intro to AWS but it steered me into RDS. Of course I've abandoned the whole of ElasticBeanstalk for serverless development lately.

My first intro to AWS was ElasticBeanstalk and serverless seemed too daunting. But now I've been smitten and can't stop thinking serverless.
I know. And I’m sure they know it, too. They and the rest of the industry will just have to find new business models that respect privacy. If they can do that and this privacy first kick doesn’t fade out of favor they will be on top still printing money like always but if not they’ll get left behind. I think the thesis that Apple is going with is hardware and paid for services are the future and free to use things like the open web are going out of favor or must if you want to be secure and anonymous online.

There is an important point here. They aren't being held liable for setting up their power lines in an unsafe manner. The way California fire liability works, even if you set up your power lines according to best practices, if your equipment happens to have caused the initial spark that causes a $25 billion fire, then you are liable for that entire amount.

For more detail see articles like: https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/California-s-st...

It isn't clear that PG+E did anything wrong in maintaining power lines. That just isn't how liability works here. There is always some chance that power lines cause a small fire, and recently the costs of a small fire have grown massively, as it has become more common that a small fire expands into a large fire. PG+E is facing rising costs, and they don't really have many ways to lower fire risk that they haven't already taken. They are not legally allowed to stop serving this area. So they are forced into measures like these.

(They also just went bankrupt, so it's not like PG+E investors are making a killing while underserving their customers.)
I think this is where analogies between physical theft/trespass and digital access break down.

Pressing the handle down, maybe even opening a door, but not walking in and not taking anything. No theft, no trespass. AFAIK in my local laws trespass requires entry and theft requires carrying-off. Indeed -- apparently -- you're legally allowed to enter abandoned properties if you don't break-in.

That to me is equivalent to access, maybe even duplication (proving access with no 'alarms'), of digital data. When it becomes immoral is when you use that data, or make it available for use by others.

Of course the CMA(UK)/CFAA(USA) don't see things this way they both seem to make the equivalent of 'looking in the direction of a door and noticing it's open' into an illegal act.
It isn’t fake. Libre is a real french word that means “free to do [something]” or “free from [something],” along with a few other meanings.

I do think the pronunciation issue is going to hamper its adoption, though. If it’s pronounced as it is in French, it’s very similar to how we say the zodiac sign “libra,” but if you don’t know it’s french, it could easily be Spanish/Italian/Latin and be pronounced “leebray.”

The fact that it’s not an easy word to know how to pronounce means that people who have only read it will be hesitant to use it in conversation or public speech.
I can definitely recommend this list of posts by Tanta, who worked in the mortgage industry for years:

yes, thats probably the plan.

well, anti-trust these days is just a buzzword, in a legal sense it is defined in a very strict way, and the cost for companies to anticipate an anti-trust ruling is way higher than just pushing their own interests.

With 66% market share and countless other browsers available, the only question for antitrust when it comes to browsers is if users have equal access to browsers, not whether google supports ad blocking.

I think they will make sure that the ad blocking capability does not explicicly favor google ads.
> From what I can see, Blender is trying to pretend it's a hard-and-fast rule

Well yeah it's a debate - I guess this is their side of the debate. Arguing for something isn't 'pretending'.
Politicians are mainly incapable of thinking beyond their term - the next election. Just look at politician's willingness to commit deliberate national suicide via Brexit. All the current Tory leadership candidates are now trying to out-extremist all the others. There was no plan B, there remains no plan B.

National security is perhaps the one issue that can partly escape being expressed solely in economic and short termism of this administration's term only.

Now whether politicians can start to believe climate actually is an issue of security remains to be seen.
Sounds like Australia needs some Freedom(TM).
Yes I came here to talk about bandwidth too, which is not mentioned in the article at all but can be the biggest engineering cost focus depending on app/scale :-). Over 10tb of transfer you can (and should) negotiate some cheaper pre-committed pricing on bandwidth.

There’s also engineering around the network involved in your application. A lot of architectures internally reflect traffic around (moreso if you’re also accepting some ridiculous amount of traffic rather than just serving it). In those cases you can save a lot of money by figuring out ways to pass traffic through unmetered connections like internal albs and amazon hosted dbs. Otherwise you can either rack up a lot of cross-az traffic charges or be on the hook for engineering your way to minimize those costs.
You can't get exact numbers, but for consumer-facing products you can estimate it via unique IPs hitting the load balancers, etc.

One of the big problems we always forget in the moment is that problems do not always present themselves in obvious ways. Leaded fuel is a great, and very recent, example. It remained legal for the better part of a century with numerous government declarations of its safety. One part of this was extensive lobbying and "research" from the industry players claiming it was safe, but the actual problem is that its problems manifest in very difficult to measure ways and over very long periods of time. You're not going to start wheezing and coughing around leaded fuel, at least not anymore so than unleaded fuel. And generally you'd seem to be completely unaffected given typical exposure levels.

Yet of course you aren't unaffected. Even today we we're not entirely certain of everything that leaded fuel fume exposure causes, let alone the exact mechanism for such. What we do know is that there is an apparent causal relationship between leaded fuel exposure, particularly during one's developmental years, and increased criminality, lower IQ, and other such things. But you're not going to show this in any sort of brief experiment and even over longterm experiments it can be difficult to discern the issues. I mean if we didn't already know as much, the idea that inhaling negligible amounts of gas fumes (in terms of parts per x) over years could somehow cause increased crime rates or even low IQs sounds pretty absurd. But our bodies react in ways that often belie intuition.

So you're left to look at things comparatively. How do people who do 'x' compare to people who do not do 'x' over years or decades? How do their children do? With GM crops we have a pretty ideal test suite since most of the world adopted these crops sparingly or not at all while in the United States near 100% of crops of certain crucial types are now genetically engineered. So how do young Americans, especially those born after the mid 90s, compare to those from other nations in terms of physical health, mental health, and other behaviors? Of course there are a million confounding variables here, some such as the growth of the internet can be controlled for but others cannot.

So this is something that would require extensive research and work to actively study. Presumably this would be the purview of agencies such as the FDA. Unfortunately, with our government this [1] was the last head of the FDA. A Monsanto VP lawyer who argued for things such as allowing corporations to knowingly allow at least a small amount of carcinogens into processed foods. That man determined food safety in the US for the majority of the last administration, and I doubt the current administration would have much interest in such research either. So instead we get no meaningful oversight, negligible or poorly formulated longitudinal research, and instead are left to rely primarily on the ethics of companies such as Monsanto.

According to the WWDC video [1], this can't happen. Your app has to test for permission every time you want it, and iOS decides when to show the permission dialog.

Additionally, the 'share always' option goes away. Your app has to earn it, or petition Apple directly for that permission. The 'share while using' is also now temporary, as iOS will periodically ask the user to confirm that this is what they want. iOS does this when the user is not using the app (on the home screen), which is why you must now check to see if you have permission every single time.

I agree. My first and only e-bike was a crowdfunded Mate.bike. It had a removable battery, a rear cassette with 7 gears and it was foldable.

Unfortunately I was too tall for it and was going to sell it when it was stolen. I got more from insurance than I would have sold it for so I'm happy.

The frame just wasn't adapted for tall people and it gave me back ache after 10km.
Hungarian notation has nothing to do with living in Hungary. It's a style of naming variables in which type codes are prefixed to the name, e.g. a variable holding a name might be called lpszName for "long pointer to string terminated with a zero". It's called Hungarian notation because the programmer at Microsoft who came up with it came from Hungary, beyond that there's no connection.

> Unfortunately, my friends in the class have annoyingly moralistic views on academic honesty

Their is nothing wrong by adhering to the rules of a school, and I think it is not that good that subverting the rules is such common practice that actually following the rules is considered annoying. If the rule is so egregious that it can not be followed then sure, but showing up is literally the easiest part and statistically has strong correlation to better performance.
What if it's not economical at all to service these outlying customers?

This is almost definitely the case. Consider that PG+E just went bankrupt from fire costs. If you split PG+E into two parts, the "safe utility" that served urban areas, and the "risky utility" that served rural areas, the fire costs would almost all go to the "risky utility". If they were allowed to, PG+E would be better off simply dropping every customer more than 60 miles away from San Francisco.

But it just doesn't work that way. PG+E is technically a public company, but the customers they are required to serve and the prices they are allowed to charge are so heavily regulated, it often seems more like it's a complicated extension of the California government.
This is a teleological position, assuming that the end purpose carries intrinsic bearing on the worth of the process that produces that end. It's the same sort of logic behind anti-vax.
