> Exploitation
> 1 the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work: the exploitation of migrant workers.

A license exists that denotes the requirements for using the software. This license is decided by the creator. It's the creators "requirement" or "demand" for using their work. Some open source projects choose to use multiple licenses, like the GPL + another license business can use.

Some go with MIT which demands a lot less from both parties.

As long as the license is followed, it's assumed that both parties are being treated fairly as they've agreed to follow the license. Considering the creator chose the license themselves, it's safe to assume they agree with its premise, and anyone following the agreement they went with isn't unfairly exploiting them.

e.g. It's a fair trade.

The creator also benefits by attracting additional talent to the project because of the license being used. If the license was not an open source license, would they have attracted that talent?

To suggest that these companies are unfairly exploiting these individuals, you'd have to show why agreeing to the terms the creator set out is unfair, especially when other common and easily accessible licenses exists that solve these very issues.
Also not having a pile of gold at the end of the tunnel might help.

Then again, we can't really know if the future civilization will consider out spent nuclear fuel as a pretty good store of value.
Judges can and often do, set expectations on scope and consideration the jury should take into consideration. That doesn't mean that jury nullification cannot happen, however no judge will generally let any jury know that they're even allowed to do that.
GFW has many ways of blocking things, I would assume that they just aren't blocking all traffic to telegram IPs.
Only well-funded revolutions historically succeeded. The only way might be crypto-based revolution, but I doubt that. Another way is a disorganized chaos when a society implodes, but that rarely brings better things.
Some people, like GP, or me, might pay for something just to reward a step in the right direction.

Band I don't listen to releasing music I don't listen to in a way I prefer might be a step in the direction towards band-I-listen-to releasing music in a way I prefer.

Basic psychology. Works on pigeons and what not, as proven by B.F. Skinner.

But I am unconvinced when it comes to the content industry, I'm not sure we can repeat the success from the pigeons on them ;-)
I'm pretty sure I tried this—I think the prompts were even in English, if I'm remembering correctly. However, I gave up after several tries of it looking for a taxi and not finding one while I was standing in the rain on a dark street corner. It would sit and look for minutes and appeared to be a broken feature.

I ended up taking a BRT line to get back to my hotel and it was great. All of my experiences with transit in Beijing were excellent. I just wish taxis or car services were an option for tourists.
Show HN: TaskLite – CLI Task Manager Built with Haskell and SQLite
Yup, that was my motivation to build that feature too!
I think there's a misunderstanding here. Can you please be specific about the operation you're saying is increasing commensurate with inputs n, c? The GCD algorithm is accomplished using O(1) polynomial multiplications, which is achieved because the coefficients for the polynomial multiplication are given by n, c.

EDIT: To make my position clear, what I am saying is this:

1. The presented algorithm will have variable computation time, but not variable asymptotic time,

2. The algorithm uses O(1) (i.e. constant time) polynomial multiplications in the worst case, and

3. The worst case bound does not change with n nor c, though they are used in the algorithm to calibrate the divsteps such that no more than O(1) operations are required.

I will concede it's possible I'm misunderstanding the paper itself, but I don't see that here.
Unfortunately, that torrent doesn’t seem to include all the standards. For example, none of these seem to be included:

If you think that's true then you haven't seen many judges.

Other party: Did you read it before you signed it?

You: No

Other party: Why not

You: Nobody ever reads these things

Ask HN: What are the best tools for salary negotiation and career advancement?
Hello. I made a smurf account to ask this question. I’m on my second “real” job in the tech world where I moved over from a smaller, but well known tech company in an entry level SWE role to roughly the same role in a much larger company, but have been getting paid about the same. In the mean time, I’ve delivered 2 real projects, one of which I’ve had total ownership of. Considering my first job wasn’t located in the Bay Area, I feel as if I’ve started from a much lower pay scale that will compoundingly affect me. What are the best tools to show my manager with whom I’ve asked for a one on one person meeting, to show some empirical data about my market value? And what are some best case practices for being upfront and transparent about these negotiations. Anecdotally a coworker and mentor I’ve found have intimated that I should’ve been hired at a more senior position and that regardless of position I should be paid more. FWIW I think that I am and that others consider me a good team player. I’m trying to convey that I’m worth more to both other companies, and internally to our company as well.

EDIT: Fixed a broken sentence for clarity, and added one too.
You have a weak understanding of how an argument is made.

I accept all of your evidence prima facie, and yet I still reject your premise. Figure it it out. I've done my part.
'Me and my colleagues at Microsoft have decided'. 'Me' as a subject pronoun?
Drip is also the most consistent way to brew coffee.
I agree that this would have been fine. But at the same time, it also shouldn’t be a big deal to get a contract that says what it’s supposed to before you sign it.
Indeed, in all ages of man, groups took political hostages and traded them. Might makes right.
You're right, I had it backwards. Thanks!
As long as they're not worse, it could result in more approved drugs.
People pick a BSD-style license because that's what they are told to do by VC-backed startups looking for a return. It's used as a marketing tool. The GPL and associated licenses are given a bad rap.

And now we have people complaining about big companies literally agreeing to the terms set out by little projects and someone they are being unfair?

The thing about AGPL is that you can still dual-license if you want. AGPL by default, and allow companies to purchase a non-AGPL version if you want.
A lot of millennials seem to think communism is a good thing. A background in Soviet Studies may be useful in explaining why that's not the case.
I don't know that I agree. By contrast the Snowden leaks were extremely considered and vetted to minimize potential harm. The Wikileaks could have very well cost lives and put people into harms way. While you may disagree with political espionage, that doesn't mean you should potentially dox active agents in the field.
Par for the course in the modern bureaucratic state and it's all good until there's a prosecutor who doesn't like you. I particularly admire those who sign government contracts incorporating half the CFR. What courage
In case anyone doesn't know about Parallel construction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction
I'll give you a Canadian example. Our gun control system has three tiers: non-restricted (basic rifles/"long guns", shotguns), restricted (pistols, AR-type rifles, an arbitrary list established by the RCMP), and prohibited (machine guns, some pistols, some crazy stuff). Each tier has more restrictive licensing.

For non-restricted, you do a ~$200 course over a weekend, send $60 to the RCMP, and if you don't have any concerning criminal behaviour in your past, you're free to buy as many rifles as you want.

For restricted, you do another weekend course, pay another fee to the RCMP, and go through a more thorough background check. Per my understanding, this check used to only cover the last 5 years, but recent legislation has, I believe, extended that to your lifetime. So you pass the background check, get your license, and now you're good to go? No. When you go to buy a handgun, you have to say what you're buying it for, and there are only two choices: target shooting or collector. If you ever plan on actually shooting it, you choose target practice. Now, before approving the transfer, the RCMP needs confirmation that you're a member of a shooting club with a range. Around here, that's another $150-$300/year.

So at this point, you've spent around $700, used up two weekends, and spent time on multiple phone calls (only open from 9am-5pm), and you're finally OK to buy your first handgun. All of that, and where's the systemic racism? Its not direct, but disadvantaged minorities are: less likely to pass the lifetime criminal record check (got in a fight when you were 19?), less likely to be able to take two weekends getting licensed, less likely to be able to afford the mandatory fees, and less likely to have a job where you can go and sit on hold for a while, waiting to get to the front of the queue.

While it's not explicitly racist, shooting (especially restricted) is definitely not a sport that is particularly accessible across socio-economic backgrounds.
After looking it up, I discovered PREPA was privatized shortly after Hurricane Maria. So perhaps they have new sources of capital. Though I'm still not sure (or at least not confident) that anyone with a profit motive is going to invest heavily in Puerto Rico's grid.
'Me and my colleagues at Microsoft have decided'. Me - has decided?
New York's Landmark Deal to Protect Renters
It's worth keeping in mind that when they say Assange is guilty of violating the espionage act, did illegal hacking etc. what they really means is that he's guilt of publishing video showing US armed forces murdering unarmed journalists and civilians. If people are going to place emphasis on Assange's crimes and make them a high priority then it's hypocrisy of the worst possible kind to ignore the serious war crimes committed by the US armed forces in Baghdad in 2007. The crimes exposed by Assange are far more worthy of attention than any criminality Assange could possibly be found guilty of in exposing those crimes.
When I signed up for life insurance, I was required to sign a form asserting that I have not "ever been instructed by a doctor to stop taking any prescription or non-prescription medication".

Uh, what? Apparently, what's meant is a doctor never told you to stop abuse of a drug. But that's not what it said, and I ended up having to go the 'subversive' route and submit the forms on paper, with this line crossed out, and an explanation attached.
I hesitated to use that term, I know it isn't quite appropriate. I'm still not exactly sure how better to phrase it.
Debugging WebAssembly
Not necessarily. More likely, he’d just have the part you need to sign.
Well, this entire thread is about loneliness. If we want to understand it and help it then we probably should be talking about it.
> encouraging the theft of classified intel belonging to the US and then publishing it.

Actually the order is the opposite: he received intel which had already been stolen - which is legal, see New York Times Co. v. United States - and then encouraged Manning to search for any more stuff, but never received anything more.
Disappointing seeing marketing language and thinking. Firefox is good because Mozilla is better than a company.
I expect creators of big libraries to make even more than $20K a month because of speaking gigs etc. But specifically why did you list $240K for Vue.js creator. Are they making money in some specific way?

The CPJ sources don't state the fact that "Turkish Hezbollah" is an entirely different group than Lebanese group. They just say "Hezbollah".
Pretty sure they are.
Some YubiKey FIPS Keys Allow Attackers to Reconstruct Private Keys
Remember you're talking about a very popular band that was making full use of 90s world-dominating mainstream media platforms that were run by douchebags then too.

When you do buy an individual copy, it comes with your name printed in the footer of every page. I had a copy of one once (won't say which one) and I could not let my boss read it. For many topics, national standards (like NIST) are great. They are free too.

Edit: We went with individual purchases because the group license was way too expensive. Had we paid for that, then we could have shared the docs with upto X employees.
German court rules mass-killing of male chicks legal
This is really insightful and totally rings true in my experience with myself, my siblings, and the students I've taught. Thanks
Also I've never seen Poland Spring in California.
Agreed... I think, for the most part, it should have just been a single dump of information.

I generally vote Libertarian, so realistically this didn't effect me, but I am glad that a lot of people got to see a lot of the dirty deeds that politicians abuse. I've known since Bill Clinton was President that Hillary is not a good person and now the world knows it.
The article literally says

"last week stole lead vocalist Thom Yorke’s minidisk archive"

He stole the minidisks.
Thanks for that! I was originally referring to the layout of the article itself, but I'd be interested in both, if possible!
Coming from ex-USSR country, I really don't get people who shake their fists saying that somebody is not fairly compensated, and deserves more, and somebody (rich businesses and enemies of nation obviously) should pay for it. Venezuela waits for you, evil capitalists are defeated here, and govt takes care of everyone.

> Every open source contributor of any sort of popular project should be getting at least that much through various deals

If they don't have such deals, who is to blame?
Users who are busy with their life, take a lot of things for granted and don't think much about thousands of FOSS libraries and apps they use every day?
Government which doesn't subsidize FOSS contributors?
Or maybe contributors themselves who are sloppy at selling themselves and getting deals?

> Ridiculous that so many billion dollar companies use these things and feel no obligation

Maybe exactly because FOSS is about terms which allow such use, and enable companies to build business models on that?
NT 4.0 might be, Windows 10 not really, specially since Vista, MinWin and WinRT related changes.
Depends on the state. In Washington(state) riding a bike while drunk is legal. The police can stop you an offer you a ride to your destination. If the drunk cyclist declines the offer, they're free to go unless the officer believes they are a hazard to the public, in which case the bicycle can be impounded if necessary. But the cyclist won't get a DUI for it.
That might have been a credible argument if the github platform were open source (as is the case with gitlab), but in absence of that it's fair to compare to similar free offerings like sourceforge and bitbucket.

Providing free hosting didn't win sourceforge or bitbucket or any of the other firms a multibillion dollar payout. What did was capturing the mindshare of open source developers and hosting high-profile projects. Ultimately, the value is derived from the fact that "everyone is using it" and the ecosystem built around it (because everyone is using it).
> It took me a solid person-week to read through, so that I could possibly claim to have an understanding of it. Once I was done, at the time, I decided not to invoice those hours.

You should have billed! Then they would understand the burden regulations have on their business.
I kind of see your answer, so thank you for that.

I am a little worried that you are using these made up numbers actively to justify your thinking to yourself. I understand it’s just a hypothetical to explain your framework for reasoning. But you should have actual numbers before you commit to that framing, no?

The subtext of my comment was that your formulation might be immoral given the racial context (i.e. “racist”), and I think your detailed answer still probably is that, by assigning different wrongful death targets to different races. But I understand your moral position is that you just want the best possible for each race, which is.... well, racist but morally defensible I suppose.
>often we rip on government agencies from our perch on...Hacker News, when we really have no idea what's going on.

In a single department, we don't know.

As a whole, it's been shown over and over that like any organization, government becomes corrupt.

Between defense and universities, I've heard depressing ancedotes as well.

It's lucky and temporary you had a good experience.
I was a big fan at the time and paid $0, I read later that most people did the same but that a good amount of people did pay money, and the album was more profitable than their previous album. I felt a little bad and later bought the physical copy when it was released. It's either the best, or second best Radiohead album. It's definitely worth listening too.
They're mostly private, JFC...

This chart isn’t all deaths by the looks of it but deaths in specific violent contexts? So that comparison is maybe not quite as illustrative?
A window will re-open (maybe permanently) when the majority of humans live in space habitats. Because of the long distances between habitats[1], the relatively small populations of each[2], and the fragility of the habitat[3], I expect local governments to be more responsive to their citizens.

[1] parent nation takes longea to respond with overwhelming force/more time for local rebellions to solidify control

[2] not enough population to sustain a large garrison but also easier to get a significant portion of the population engaged.

[3] catastrophic sabotage is easier so discontent must be addressed more proactively. Also external applications of force may be limited to massacre or siege since boarding a hostile ship becomes very dangerous.
Not a multi-person company like the ones mentioned but Bvckup https://bvckup2.com/ and its developer comes to mind, especially for their dedication and attention to detail https://bvckup2.com/wip/
I completely agree with you. People should look at companies like Telmex (Mexican telecom company, owned by 3rd richest person in the world). They surely use a HUGE amount of Open Source and contribute zilch back.

In contrast, Github and Microsoft are huge contributors.
Antivirus software is not particularly effective, and also a significant attack vector. You can find several interesting stories just by searching antivirus on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=antivirus&sort=byPopularity&pr....
So true. And these crappy wheels keep getting reinvented over and over at different companies. Sharing the effort and making a better wheel for everyone sounds like a good idea so long as it's not your core business. There must be a downside right?
Branding is far more important for dev tools than many realize. They’re just as much of a product as iPhones and Surfaces are but this has yet to register with the eng teams of a lot of companies.
In case anyone else is a bit confused - I had to look this up:

Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a series of letters that were published as "Letters to a Young Poet" in 1929 (posthumously). These were, in fact, genuine letters from Rilke to a young poet (who was the one who eventually published the letters).

Virginia Woolf wrote and published "A Letter to a Young Poet" in 1932 (the OP here), as an epistolary letter prompted by the writer John Lehman (who was ultimately dissatisfied with Woolf's work).
If a terminated employee can prove the sanctions are being applied arbitrarily that's totally grounds for wrongful termination.

But who knows, the court system is so in the pocket of employers in stuff like this and it's so expensive to litigate in the first place it never really happens unless you've got a huge organization with deep pockets.
I can’t think of a single transition that Apple botched. They even had a good transition strategy from the Apple //e to Mac for users with the //e card.
Rethinking the Database Materialized View as an Index
So you're saying you should use appropriate tools for the job? Fascinating idea!
That's going too far. The public and businesses have benefited a ton from software written by non-experts and low-quality software. I think Excel spreadsheets still drive more value creation than most professional apps. The people you refer to don't usually write it. They mostly go to best paying companies in tech or finance. You could say our baseline is dependent on people with less skill stepping up to do what better developers weren't willing to do.

That assumes they know what we need. Biggest part of making the world's software is getting the requirements right. The intellectual elite have been consistently worse at that than folks with strong people skills to get the info out of the market or just folks in it that see the need(s). A recurring example is how they all think brick and mortar is obsolete due to Prime or whatever but a ton of people just want out of house or break from family. They don't know cuz they're coding amongst their peers instead of interacting with such people. So, folks with less brains who do listen wrote software and made plans to make shopping better with Best Buy, local grocers, and others slated for death thriving last I checked.

I learned long ago that intellectual superiority or best code aren't all that has value. Most people want software to get shit done or for entertainment with relatively-low standards of quality. So, anyone that can do that should jump in. Then, a small percentage of buyers and suppliers are about design or quality excellence. That's our thing. We'll keep doing that. Judging them won't help, though. Sell them on benefits after assessing if it would even have benefits from their perspective.
That's a really fascinating thought. We often hear and talk about "public health" in the US - but also have serious issues with approving "public" health organizations and care providers. It's ironic how we want our private businesses to take care of our public health.
Growth is inherently limited for any hipster brand because once it becomes mainstream it's no longer hip.
Seeing as they were never intending to make profit from them any artist in the same situation could easily do this.

It's pure profit, what is nice to see is that they are giving the profit to charity. Now that's really not something everyone would do.

There is no chance that Assange isn't sent to Gitmo or a supermax facility. He's a political prisoner who embarrassed the US first by leaking the dirty secrets of important people, and then for years by hiding in an embassy.

He'll be tortured for the rest of his life as a message to anyone else who would dare to oppose the current order in such a flagrant and public way and without the backing of a nuclear state.
