Sure, but again, no cryptocurrency can do that. The last thing people in Venezuela need is a payment method that takes 20 minutes to process, caps at 7 tx/s, and can't handle a refund or chargeback. What they really need is a basic monetary policy.

If the actual, genuine goal is to solve the problem of lack of viable currency in these nations, then the best solution is to solve the cause, not the symptom. Right now your goal is trying to find a nail for a hammer that doesn't have any, and you're trying to shoehorn vaporware onto a symptom when that's not what the people really need.

I can't think of any traditional medium that tells you the popularity of something before you consume it. Movie theaters, TV stations, radio stations, etc. have no concept of "view counts" telling you whether or not to consume something.

This is a bit off topic, but how could I do this at home? Seems like it could be a great addition to home security systems. Criminals know to cover their faces with all the cameras and they use stolen vehicles that can’t be traced back to them. I bet they still have their phones with them. I’m not sure the police would take action on a device’s MAC address- but it’s still another data point. Perhaps there are hardware/usb sticks designed for this purpose?

You're confusing JS and NodeJS. NodeJS has more stdlib stuff; opening files, for example.

This math doesn't check out: a false negative allows a follow-up false positive. And without that effect, you also have that each one costs thousands of dollars.
Oh, I agree that after working a long time on difficult problems, I need a rest with mindless entertainment. For example, after finals week in college I'd go home, and just veg in front of the TV for a few days. Then I'd get bored and was ready to start the next semester.

It's just like doing hard physical work. Ya need a rest afterwards.

Chess isn't mindless entertainment. I don't see it as rest.

Solutions to difficult problems often come to me while I'm jogging. Something something about increased blood flow to brain? Yesterday I went out for a long walk, and thought of a much simpler solution than one I was going to implement. A very worthwhile walk!

There are some scattered pieces in the ecosystem for routing, sessions etc but i agree that compared to Python, JS, etc the ecosystem might not look as cohesive or expansive for web applications. So there should definitely be room to have new solutions in this space

> Are things different in Europe for online payments? How does it work other than numbers only for online purchases?

My (Swedish) bank has 2FA for online purchases. When I make a purchase, an app on my phone asks me to confirm the purchase (showing the vendor name and amount) by signing it with a key stored on my phone, along with a PIN.

When I buy from some American companies (Steam, Amazon, etc.) I need to put the card into "unsafe mode" first, since by default all transactions must support this system.
It's not 100%, but I'd consider "video games" => "Ben Shapiro" to be a pretty awful recommendation system, regardless of the reasoning behind it. As far as I know, the group "video gamers" doesn't have a political lean in either direction.

I've definitely seen this with comics. I watched a few videos criticizing Avengers: Infinity War, and now I see mostly Ben Shapiro recs. It makes no sense. I never have (and never plan to) seek out political content on YouTube.
> but I feel like the GPL is the closest thing that programmers have to a union

But unions generally exist to make their members rich. GPL has the opposite effect, it means you can't sell your code so you become poor.

It's like the opposite of a union; a collective agreement among a group of professionals whereby they mutually agree to prevent each other from making money.
Every single day, I watch the channel of a guy who has put out < 15 minute videos going back to nearly the founding of YouTube.

He gets an average of 10-15 views per day.

The value this guy adds to my day is literally measurable in $$$.

If I could find more people like him, that would be great, but instead these are my recommendations:

- 5 ways to do X
- Bill Gates breaks down blah blah blah
- Something about Tesla
- One video by a guy I discovered outside of YouTube who is similar to the guy I watch every day. I don't watch this one that much though.

YouTube's algorithm is not designed for discovery. It's designed for engagement. So I keep separate accounts:

1. Account for actually useful stuff where YT's recommendations are useless
2. Account where YT's recommendations are OK: white noise like things. Howard Stern interviews, etc

I wish you could configure the algorithm for discovery somehow.
I'm talking about cultural lefties, their economic leftness is doubtful at best.

If you want a stereotype/archetype, I guess 'woke capitalism' is the ideology I'm talking about.

Interestingly, while we're having a raging culture war between right and left, there's almost no argument about economics anymore. We seem to have settled into a system where the proletariat of both political parties want to move economically left, and the elite of both parties distract them with culture war instead.

There's quite a bit of hand wringing about whether or not this is good or bad as if there's no universe in which Entropic and NPM simply co-exist. Options/competition is good for tools like this, why not encourage it?

On the "new registries" note, though, and I might be alone on this one, I'm honestly the most interested in Github's package registry. No, it's not decentralized, yes it's still owned by a big company, but I'm personally fine with the tradeoffs there. It's kind of reassuring that the entirety of Github's revenue is a rounding error for Microsoft, so I at least don't think there's the same concern around the VC backing of NPM.
But code like that pass your unit tests, integration test, CI, and LINT?

Anyone can sell software built from GPL code, but if/when they do so, they are obligated to provide source code for that software to anyone receiving a copy, and those users are permitted to redistribute both the software and the source code as long as they also adhere to the GPL.
Two ideas come to mind. First, make the engine recommend a few videos that it thinks you probably won't watch. That could help break up the echo chamber effect.

Second, allow users to blacklist, or whitelist, different kinds of content. If someone is struggling with sexual attraction to minors, let them blacklist content with minors in it. If I don't want to see the latest anti(or pro)-<insert political figure here> videos, I should be able to filter them out. I have no interest in Minecraft, so why should I have to keep scrolling past Minecraft videos just because I watch a lot of game related videos?

That said, all the calls for regulation or censorship concern me. I haven't seen the video, but Steven Crowder saying mean things isn't exactly something that should be censored. Any more than all the videos calling President Trump names. What I'm seeing signs of is a society that silences any speech that doesn't fit in a specific, politically correct, box. And that box is being defined by advertising companies who don't want to be associated with topics that their potential customers find uncomfortable. That's not a direction any of us should support...

New York bans religious exemptions for vaccines amid measles outbreak
I thought it one of the really interesting parts of the Sets experiments that the Windows team was working on (and ultimately seem to have cancelled). They fell straight into this rabbit hole of "sessions" and defining what they mean to a user as soon as they tried adding (heterogeneous) Tabs as a native UI element to every window title bar. A lot of the dev talk on what to expect with Sets was on trying to surface user-meaningful activities to the Microsoft Graph and thus to the Windows Timeline thus making those groups of tabs meaningfully relevant to a user ("these are the tabs I used to file my expense report").

It is definitely a hard problem to solve, especially if you are hoping for software to do a lot of that aggregation automagically "reading people's minds". It was really cool seeing some very smart people on the Windows team trying to build it with Sets, and maybe all the more disappointing that the idea didn't make it "out of the lab" for its grand attempts at trying to build a more complicated/nuanced/powerful model of how people interact with groups applications at a time.

We used to boot ~3x the servers we needed, run a hard load on them for a while, performance test them, and kill the "weakest" 2/3rds. You can get a bunch of nodes on iffy hardware or greedy neighbors (or all on the same physical box) and see significant performance improvements that way.

Of course this was a decade ago, but I think the fundamentals are still sound, as far as being skeptical about the quality and longevity of your nodes in a virtual environment.

The X Window System Trap
Or, if its a permissive license then the company makes changes to it which break it so that it's less secure and the end user can't even check that (or ask someone to check that) it's not broken. Then the user ends up suffering because they didn't have the choice in the matter of using to be able to check if everything is ok. This is even worse because it pretends making security better but does not deliver. Then it would be better if this commercial software would not exist.

Unfortunately, even with the clarified wording this explanation doesn’t say what I think it’s intended to. All the material in the repo is under copyright. A work licensed under the GPL is still under copyright, and the granting and enforcement of the GPL (mainly the requirement that derivative works are released under the GPL) is only possible because of that copyright. To not be bound by copyright, the copyright must be waived, and it’s still not entirely clear if/how that is possible (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Granting_work_into_t...).

Sounds similar to how Haskell does all number computations by default. When you do 1/3 for example it leaves the types generic/ambiguous using typeclasses until it finds something to refine them. 1/3 could be a floating-point number, or a fixed-point number, or a rational (datatype holding the numerator and denominator), or any other user-defined datatype. You could put these computations in a library, keeping their types generic with typeclasses, and a user of your library can use their own number datatypes. Your library would automatically support that datatype in your number computations.

A list of people that is specifically maintained for and publicised to an audience that hates those people is dangerous and immoral.

On cable there are ways to lock out channels, setting ratings on the TV and all that. If dad doesn't hide his Playboy well enough, it's obviously on him to fix it.

On the internet it is much more difficult, of course, and we can't realistically expect some shady offshore site from implementing age checks, let alone recommendation algorithms. But Google is a public, respected company from a first world country that claims to be promoting social good (which, of course, is marketing BS, and even if it weren't I would not want their idea of social good, but still). You'd think that they would invest some effort into not showing inappropriate content to kids at least. But no, they throw up their hands and go on ideological witch hunts instead.

Now I understand, it's not the code itself that has a price(hence the 'THIS IS FREE SOFTWARE' notice at the top of GPL). It's the entire "product" they charge for. Thanks for the reply!
That's basically the logic I used too for my own code. As I hinted at but may not have been made clear, I was using "exploitation" quite deliberately as a loaded term in the beginning, only to try to defuse it in my final paragraphs as in many, perhaps even the vast majority, of cases you aren't really being that "exploited" no matter what anybody does. If somebody outright stole any of my projects and claimed them as their own work, I still would honestly be only annoyed, and maybe make a few posts in my README.md about the situation, and move on with my life without even a thought about engaging the legal system or anything.

But as rare as it may be, there have been many cases where an open source code base really was "exploited" by any reasonable sense of the term, with corporations slapping their logos on it and reselling significant works in violation of the license, and those cases are significant because of their size, even if they are rare.

> It enriches everyone

This is untrue. It might appear obvious that it does, because in the first instance, everyone can take and use it however they want. But as soon as anyone relicenses the work, everyone else loses out.

There are also more complicated benefits to the programmer-users of GPL software that get lost in the process.

I don't think the situation is clear-cut, and too many factors are hard to quantify, but I don't think you can safely say that non-copyleft "enriches everyone."
CocoaPods, Carthage, Fastlane, git, all require the command line, and most teams use some combination of those. Not to mention Xcode literally is just a wrapper around Unix processes like `xcodebuild` and `SourceKitService`. Then there's a whole host of other support command-line utilities for doing Cocoa development like `codesign`, `xcrun`, and `xcode-select` off the top of my head.

Again, I wasn't making argument about where developers spend most of their time. Just that they need the command line as part of their workflow.
