> The FSF and the OSI don't own what 'open source' means, of course - the term predates them and comes from intelligence.

You are misinformed, at best.

1. FSF predates the term "open source", that much is true.
2. OSI coined the term "open source." And FSF has has always had issues with that.
3. OSI, on their front page, above the fold, advertises their mission as stewarding the definition of "open source". Again, FSF isn't so keen on that.

In any case, if you want to come up with your own definition of "open source" you are asking to be the third person in a three-way fight. Good luck with that.

Anyway, I have not looked at MongoDB's license. If it is too restrictive for the taste of this or that distro, then I guess it has achieved MongoDB's objective.
We can solve multiple problems at a time. This just reads as really defensive. Like it or not, air travel DOES have a big carbon footprint, and arguably most of it is unnecessary (we fly people across the country to help manage PowerPoint presentations). We’re going to have to solve it at some point, so why not now?
Maybe their insurance covers them hitting a satellite Ferrari with their Kia.
I agree about the air transport, but sea transport might be one of those low hanging fruits because it doesn't have any direct effect on individuals. I have no idea what could replace bunker fuel as an energy source, but if something did, no one would notice.
> "Nah Red, looking all good here."

more like "nah." spacex did not inform ESA that the risk is lower or anything like that.
> “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available.

Article 13 requires you make the source code of only vaguely related software available. So if you use a proprietary backup system, or someone else is doing your hosting stack, you can't use the license without breaching.

Having to either own your entire stack or only using FOSS for the entire stack doesn't really fit the "freedom" part of open source.
OSI hasn't been doing a good job. They're trying to turn it around but only time will tell.
Because we need to be carbon neutral soon and so far we have no solution, even theoretical, apart from synthetic fuels. So, we better start ASAP to find a solution.

The focus you are suggesting is in play, afaik.
1) No that's not what AWS did at all. They implemented the MongoDB API on top of their own storage layer. It doesn't use PostgreSQL.

2) Of course. But MongoDB is orders of magnitude faster in some cases, has better horizontal scalability capabilities, better drivers and some nicer semantics e.g. around streaming.
Isn’t most of the cost of a flight already taxes and duties? I recently booked a 700€ flight from Europe to Latin America, and out of the 700 over 400 were taxes and airport charges.
> ESA is preparing to automate this process using #AI

Sounds like something SpaceX and other constellation satellite companies should do as part of these widescale deployment. Or at least lower the threshold of moving out of the way so they don't get tons of push back from existing space power players who’ve got more influence than they do.
From a user perspective, I agree with you.

But I think from a performance perspective it is impossible not to want to have several different databases each one with better performance than a single big one.

And they have the traffic to have to worry about such things.
> OSI coined the term "open source."

The trademark office didn't think so. And ESR said they used the existing term from the intelligence community, which I guess is why.
Predictions based on TLEs aren't precise enough for satellite collisions. TLE is a solution compiled from many measurements, and what one wants for very close passes are raw measurements. It's a bit like JPEG vs RAW in photography.

Regarding that particular collision, IIRC human factor was involved a lot. Iridium has been warned well in advance, but hesitated to make the decision since their models gave lower probabilities.
Most modern websites end up allocating an absurd amount of RAM. Although there are certainly some that are more lightweight.

I have found that Firefox uses less RAM than Chrome for my workloads. That being said, if you have limited RAM, the amount used by either is still extremely high. I suggest installing Auto Tab Discard [1] for Firefox or The Great Suspender [2] for Chrome. These will allow you to discard tabs and reload them later without closing them. Please do note that any state on the page, aside from scroll position, will be lost. This usually includes text entered into complicated forms.

> tax it enough that you can offset or capture the emissions a few times over.

Why should we tax any more than required to offset or capture emissions just 1 time over?
Suggesting people are vegan just to look better is very unfair.

If they're vegan for ethical reasons, it's like suggesting that people choose not to rape, despite how good pussy feels, just to look better. Because you couldn't event fathom going without raping for the rest of your life, so those people must need extra benefits like vanity.
Not all planes have the same greenhouse gas emissions. Instead of a huge tax on flying, tax on greenhouse gas emissions and let the market optimize based on including these economic externalities.

It supports querying, see json_extract function.

I think synthetic fuel from renewable energy (electricity + water + co2 from the air) is a better way to go. Much less complexity in the plane.
Is the GPL ethical ?

It also gives you source code but attaches some pretty significant conditions that in most cases would prevent you from profiting from new code derived from it.
It's interesting that people would pay amazon, but not mongodb...
While ESR's link establishes precedence, it doesn't actually tell me what it means in an intelligence context.

From Wikipedia [1]:

> Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is data collected from publicly available sources to be used in an intelligence context.

IOW, the "source" in "open-source context" isn't actually talking about "source" as in "source code", but "source" as in "source of information". Not really related.

Whether or not they could trademark the term, when people in our community say "open source", they specifically mean something which matches OSI or FSF's definitions.

Where would have jurisdiction?
this is totally beyond me. So a company making a profit from a product made by another company by just hosting it is not exploitation? Does this happen in any industry? A company that makes product for free and another takes it as is and sells it is not an exploitation?
A lot of companies got lured into using mongodb because it was so developer friendly. It cost nothing and it was easy bring in the back door and alleviated the need for thought.

Then their sales people started coming around and asking for insane sums of money (like $10,000 per instance per year plus 100% markup on hardware to run in AWS - support is extra). They were worried about amazon and others offering a better so next they changed the license.

If it had been SQL it would have been easy to drop in another database. But Mongodb is so different from anything else that you need a major rewrite to get away from it. Postgres has some similiar functionality but it’s not drop in. Amazon has a more or less public beta of DocumentDB which as far as I can tell is a mongodb compatible interface to aurora backend - it works but doesn’t have the polish of RDS yet.

I guess not no, I was thinking of userland.
Airport charges aren't taxes.

Aside from that - sure, there are taxes on flying. Are they enough to offset or capture the carbon emissions (at a rate higher than 100% if we want this to be progressive), and is the money going towards either doing that or researching future methods of how to do that?
only if your source of profit is obtained by restricting the customer from being able to use your code in any way they see fit (including modifying it).
Everything you write here will be saved whether it is stored or HN servers or not. That's just the reality. Some rulings may stop wayback machine but then there still will be tons of archivers accessible through dark web. Text is really cheap to store and that's moderated text where somebody else is already taking care of it not being just a bunch of random characters or somebody's else encrypted backup. It's just that regulations and our culture haven't yet fully catch up.
I'm curious, what other binary adder designs are out there? This adder-stage-chain design seems ubiquitous. I wonder if anything else can be done considering the current state of technology... or just for fun, like analog circuits or no clock, etc...

I'm curious about stats for iOS, with its app transport security being enforced for store submissions. There are exceptions, but I certainly hope that Apple is verifying that those are actually necessary before allowing them. I'd love it if Apple took a step forward and warned periodically for http use (similar to how it periodically reminds you that apps have location permissions).

Aside: I know at least for some orgs, ATS was helpful in convincing the older 'why isn't http good enough?' folks to finally get their act together. It may be shocking, but some people are quite resistant to typing in that extra 's'.
I dont know man, taking almost 50 years to learn basic rhetoric skills that should have been taught to you during high school english seems like a knockdown argument in favor of education.
Yeah, I don't mind it. Oftentimes when you want to manipulate JSON, you'll embed a raw snippet of PG-specific SQL into the query you're building with your ORM. I do wish the operators were a little more ergonomic though. One of these days I'll print out the list and stick it to my monitor.
How so? And which part? I think it’s difficult to rebase already pushed history accidentally, because that requires a force push. You have to opt-in and take action to do it, so it’s not easy to screw up unintentionally.

Very possible. In js land at least, I usually just look up syntax question in the mdn docs now, but I guess that presumes you know what to look for.
When you are offering MongoDB as a service, article 13 requires you to release the source code of everything you're using to host your MongoDB instance under the terms of SSPL.

In practice, it's impossible because you aren't the copyright holder of your kernel, firmware, webserver etc. so you can't change their license to SSPL.
Because flying is a luxury activity.

Ideally in the long term everything would be taxed precisely according to its' externalities.

In the short term it makes sense to have a progressive system that more heavily taxes luxuries so that the poor don't get thrown under the bus (read: throw you under the bus).
If your queries are that complicated are you not better off normalising your data, then writing views to jsonify it?
Darktable and Rawtherapee support many RAW formats directly. Gimp supports many RAW formats with a plugin. For those workflows, preprocessing with libgphoto2 may not be required.

ESR says specifically that it's related - he says the relation is a 'feature' of the name, even.
You’re asking one of the right questions for this Mongo post’s debates. I can’t say what the right answer is, as it’s an ethics and beliefs debate, but you’re definitely asking a relevant question.
A better version of this is a source fuels tax, that applies to all carbon-emitting fuels in proportion to the carbon they emit. This would impact flights, driving, and industrial processes in a manner consistent with their environmental impact.

The problem with that is that while it does fall primarily on the rich, as they consume and therefore pollute more, it falls also on the poor and middle class, and as we’ve seen in France, this can be the basis for substantial political opposition, which if nothing else will act against our ability to price the pollution effectively.

The solution for this is to return the source fuels tax funds to the people, such that the tax is revenue neutral. The carbon dividend leaves lower income and less pollutive people better off financially, in addition to everyone being better off environmentally and health-wise, providing a natural basis for the survival of the carbon tax.

Cloud vendors are "users", too. I'm not saying it's fair or unfair, just that it's not free. MongoDB is of course within their rights to charge to use their software, but they're not somehow being exploited by those who profit from it without paying — after they offered it for free! — when they themselves profit off the labor of the same people without compensating them.

Put another way: Amazon is a corporate member of the Linux Foundation. Why is it okay for MongoDB to profit off Amazon's labor without paying, but not vice versa?
It is funny really. A lot of progress:

1) Is a small incremental improvement in theory. Critics deride it as impractical. Eg, Evidence for superconductivity above 260 K.

2) Is a slightly novel recombination of existing ideas where the ideas have all happened before. Critics deride it as derivative. Eg, the iPhone iterations after the first.

From the big-picture perspective as long as something happens that is new in some sense we will eventually achieve real progress. Consistent small improvements are just as good as one big improvement, except apparently harder to appreciate.
What you're describing is source-available. If that was the only criteria for an open source license, then there would be tons of additional proprietary software we'd have to classify as open source -- Unreal Engine, for example.

Regardless, the word isn't really the important part of Homebrew's decision. Whatever you want to call it, Homebrew has decided it can't include MongoDB in its repository while guaranteeing the freedoms of its users. A semantic debate over the meaning of 'open source' won't change that.

That doesn't mean the semantic debate is useless, but regardless of where you fall on that debate, MongoDB's license does not guarantee freedom 0 of the FSF's definition, and that's going to effect which open source organizations are willing to distribute or build on top of MongoDB. You should expect platforms like Homebrew that care about freedom 0 to continue to abandon MongoDB.
Yes. More realistically, we could take lots of the air travel out of life. Looking back at all my years of work-related flying, there's very little that could not have been accomplished remotely. Especially with current videoconferencing capabilities.
My concern is more about moderators nazis closing relevant and interesting questions for their own reasons.

It's been countless times i derived value from closed questions, luckily too late for moderators to do their own power round tantrum trip to disable it.
>New sanctions from the United States risk pushing Berlin firmly into Moscow’s geopolitical corner.

Not just Germany, the poorer southern EU states as well.

The things is, most EU countries are not rich in energy resources so getting them from wherever is cheaper is what will resonate with most taxpayers as energy costs are a significant part of monthly bills.
I can imagine a sustainable business could be made operating a fleet of ships in international waters that pick up undersea cables, taps them, and uplinks the data in real time to whichever .gov subscribes to it.

The company taking the risk gets a big fat government check every month, and the governments get to deny they're tapping anyone's data.
I attempted to dig into the meaning of the Japanese word for functor, 関手.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%96%A2%E6%89%8B

関 - Checkpoint or barrier, for example at customs and borders; "bolt" for closing a door; to relate. (https://kanji.jitenon.jp/kanji/463.html)

手 - Hand, method, to do something "by oneself" as in by own's own hands. (https://kanji.jitenon.jp/kanji/033.html)

So roughly/possibly "a method of relating".

"Function" in Japanese is 関数. Same first character as functor, and the second one means "number". It's also written as 函数, which comes from the Chinese word for it.

In the Chinese word for functor, 函子, the second character means "child".
Debian 10 Buster: First impressions on a 2017 laptop with an M.2 NVMe SSD
I don't follow - domain squatting takes a domain and makes it unusable for others, orbit squatting would take an unused orbit and make it unusable for others.

The fundamental question is whether you have the right to the exclusive use of an orbital path just because you were there first. This is unresolved but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Assigning value (public/private, research/commercial, etc.) to each parties use just muddies the waters. There needs to be an established resolution process and AFAIK there isn't one.
I agree, tax based on emissions.

I think it makes sense for that tax to be progressive, at least initially.

Heating a home for a year depending on climate may produce more emissions than taking a flight. But one is much harder to avoid (particularly if you are in a precarious economic situation).

Even from a purely utilitarian point of view, it would stave off political unrest.
One thing I never understood as a kid, was why wasn't there better footage of a crash. Many people at the airport knew the plane was coming in, and they had plenty of time. Yes this wasn't 2019 where everyone has a camera in their pocket, but nonetheless I always thought the could have done better than the crazy shot through the chain-link fence.
Gavin from Zebrium here. Again, we understand this concern. All data is encrypted in-flight and at rest and we have a lot of security controls in place (see our website). We also have the option of a dedicated VPC assigned to a single customer. Beyond this, we have a unique capability: since our machine learning structures and types everything, we have a feature that lets us hash (or delete) any sensitive information in logs (and we can record match to find other places this info occurs that you might not even be aware of). Not dodging the fact that we're SaaS, just pointing out what we do.
No; that would take a world war where the US would be defeated.

Rather, look at various less than nice things that British Empire has done for last 300 years. Though many of them are admitted and (duly) despised, no Nuremberg-style trial was ever held to judge them.
I'm betting it was less borrowing and more that both were Freemasons (Robert Jordan has specifically said there are elements inspired by the fraternity).

The fraternity doesn't require a specific religious belief, but lodges generally slant Jewish, Christian, and Muslim. Many of the various degrees delve into Islamic lore and philosophy. For example, the most public-facing Masonic group (not a degree itself) is the Shriners (they raise money for a bunch of children's hospital they run) and the trapping are Islamic.

Rather than copying per-se, both are simply taking what they learned as they rose through the different degrees and are applying that shared philosophy to their writings.

My opinion is to read 3 body problem first and complete the trilogy. I like Hyperion and read all the series but found each subsequent book less satisfying than the last (kind of like reading the sequels to Ender's Game). On the other hand, the series by Cixin gets even better after the first.

Have you read The Sparrow or any of Ted Chiang's short stories?
Dunno if we can ever take it out, but more efficient routing, reduced seat pitch and more fuel efficient planes has definitely lead to big improvements.
Cool! I did a 5-day fast recently and it was surprisingly easy. Didn't do any supplementation, although I already was used to intermittent fasting. The main benefits were mental and not physical. I can definitely see why virtually every religion encourages fasting - and I've noticed that generally, what is spiritually healthy winds up being physically healthy as well.

I don't think we have to restrict ourselves to implementing policies serially. My thought it some industries are going to have to reduce their CO2 footprint 30% and others will need to reduce 90%. Whatever is doable.

For aircraft two things we could do is invest heavily in high speed rail for high volume short to medium flight corridors and electrified aircraft for short low volume ones. And accept that for the foreseeable future we're going to burn jet fuel for transatlantic and pacific flights.
