I've taken a cut at a license that attempts to address monetization while preserving what I see as the underlying strengths of Open Source - reducing the risks of collaboration and adoption:

https://github.com/db4j/PUPL

It requires paying for usage above a level, but is symmetric and permissive and makes future costs predictable, ie prevents the copyright owner from pulling the rug out from underneath you after you've adopted it. The software that I intended this license for never gained traction (so completely that no-one ever told me "i'd try it out if it was open source") so it's untested.

But if a popular software used this license, would you be willing to use it or contribute to it ?
This is because 'millenials' is such a broad age group now in their 20s-30s, and is now the largest population cohort in the US, so if you say something broad and vague it's probably true for a good chunk of people even if it's not all "millenials."
According to the article, the W69 would not have detonated their nuclear payload, but there was a significant risk of their conventional explosives (used to compress the nuclear mass for detonation) as well as rocket engines igniting and spreading the radioactive payload in a "dirty bomb" manner.

Also, in the other type of bomb that was on board there apparently was a design flaw that could've actually triggered the nuclear detonation after prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
Not the original poster, but I tried it from my phone. I found it sort of playable. Pieces mostly moved where I wanted them to. The ai does seem to be able to move more pieces than would be humanly possible at a time though. I started, I moved one pawn and in the same time the ai moved 5 pawns and a knight simultaneously. It would be fun against a human opponent using the same kind of device I think.

Yeah, I thought of when I first followed overclocking in the late 90s, and Intel had a reputation for selling artificially slow chips in those circles. But in that case rating the appropriate clock is a subjective exercise, and they don't want the part to start failing if pushed to its limits. GP here made it sound like it was rather more harmless in this case, not sure if that is a mistaken impression of mine or what.
1. Do you have experience running PostgreSQL or MySQL in production? Use what you know. Do you have friends or colleagues with that experience? Use what they know. Is the stack you end up using predominantly used with one or the other, so you have lots more people in the community who will have hit issues you might have? Use that one. Failing any of those? Default to PostgreSQL.

2. I think you mean SQL+JSON, and the answer is PostgreSQL's JSONB columns, or dumping blobs into rows in MySQL (just keep your row sizes below 4kb).

3. Possible? Yes. A good idea? Almost never. Trees and relations are quite mathematically different, and you will need to specify quite a bit of the mapping to make it come out in a way you would actually want to work with.

4. Not really...generally you would have a SQLite database. If you need stuff that doesn't go in well as a blob, you would put it in a file and include a reference in the database.
I am totally not dancing around it, that is straight up the observable and factual reality of the world that we live in.

You’re argument is a metaphoric one; yes we do change and evolve as people. Whereas the GPs point was a literal one; if you upload your consciousness the “physical you” will still quite literally die.

The uploaded version is really more of an interactive Egyptian statue designed to immortalise yourself from the perspective of others rather than you literally living past death.

This is why I don’t see the point of arguments such as that. I would still die. So I might as well survive my memory in more meaningful ways like building a family. If I’m forgotten about 100 years after my death then that’s just the natural order of things and it’s not like I’ll be around to care anyway.

I definitely see your viewpoint - and like I said, you definitely write with great clarity and you seem to have a great sense of belief in the system which ... points towards a God who is ever-present or ever-lasting and isn't prone to causality. I'm just trying to see different takes on people who might be exploring a self-consistent system - once which may 'create' or 'contain' itself. I'm sorry if I can't put it in terms that are less confusing. Once again, I appreciate the feedback and it's great to hear other takes on this matter :)

Was there more extortion attempts besides the one he's being charged with (Doyen)?
My experiences are with a pretty old mysql version (5.5, iirc), but that version allowed inserts without supplying a value to a column that is NOT NULL and has no default value.

If that's the strict mode, I shudder to think what the lax mode must be... :(

And upgrade to MariaDB 10.3 caught those cases, so at least there's some progress in the mysql/mariadb ecosystem.

> MySQL has a JSON data type with validation, binary storage, efficient updates and efficient replication.

Postgres has, in addition, indexes over expression, which allows you to build indexes for specific queries into JSONB.

(I'd argue that if you need indexes, it's typically better to extract that data into the regular table and not keep it in the json, but it can still save your butt if you need to react quickly to a requirement change and no time for a data migration).
He was definitely one of the actors that made Deep Space Nine's world so compelling, despite not being one of the main cast. All the more true since he had to add depth to a race, the Ferengi, who before the series were totally one-note.

The recently released DS9 documentary, What We Left Behind (which is great) has some interesting bits with Aron, notably on the reactions to the episode (It's Only a Paper Moon) where Nog had to deal with the psychological impact of being wounded in combat. He was wounded in a previous episode, so the follow up was very un-Star Trek in that it didn't portray everything as being perfect right after. Apparently it hit home for a lot of veterans. He did a great job in the role.

The grandparent comment is right about one thing: you need to figure out what your use case is, in order to make a good judgment call. “Some data” can mean a lot of things. Transactional data? Sure, get a sql database in. Images, video, or plain json documents? SQL databases are a poor fit there.

One should also consider if they even need to manage data persistence. I’ve had success using Google Sheets as the backing data storage for a prototype. Below a certain scale, it is a lot easier to visualise and manipulate data in a spreadsheet than through a sql client.
> Sqlite is for file formats, not anything that might have concurrent writes

Thats very well put and excellent advice. I still bust out in giggles that we're in a world where "SQL for file formats" is a thing.
As a man is pretty damn hard keeping friends after the age of 30, especially if you happen to go trough a divorce when suddenly more than half (if not more) of your friends get to “choose” the other side. Yeah, you get to ask your friends back from high-school or college out for a beer but chances are they’re also in a middle of a divorce or they’re too busy with family requirements (can’t blame them) or too stressed out because of work reasons. And then there are all those friends who have moved town or even country. All in all things are not so easy.

I read here that loneliness is a significant problem for people in general within the modern world, and somewhat moreso for men. Headline seems a bit clickbaity, as the issue is clearly not exclusive, and the percentage difference relatively small.
This is significant because one of the hypotheses for the spectacular Late Bronze Age Collapse is the loss of ability to source tin.
That is simply not correct. Please understand that I worked on MySQL at Facebook, so I know what I'm talking about here :)

Facebook developed an entirely new MySQL storage engine (MyRocks, which is a RocksDB-backed engine for MySQL) and then migrated their largest sharded tiers to it. This is basically just as much work as developing a new database from scratch, i.e. more work than something like migrating to Postgres. This completely debunks the "changing is basically impractical" claim.

And while Facebook's primary db tier (UDB) does have a restricted API / access pattern, calling it a "key-value store" is a gross oversimplification at best, or completely inaccurate at worst. Range scans are absolutely core to the UDB access pattern, for starters.

Many other social networks are also built on MySQL (linkedin, pinterest, tumblr; and several in China) or previously used MySQL before moving to a custom in-house db (twitter). I think reddit and instagram are the only two using pg? And I recall parts of instagram were being moved to mysql, although I'm way out-of-date on whatever happened there.

>In a world where greed and individual selfishness is the one metric that is rewarded, guess how most people will behave. That in a system such as ours most people are still good and altruistic and empathetic speaks volumes to how wrong that thesis is.

If the current system is based on rewarding greed, and systems like that make "most people" behave greedily, then why are "most people" behaving altruistically? Either our current system is not one that rewards greed, or you have a contradiction. This contradiction reveals a lot about how you view people and the system.

"And yet, if only from my dreams when I was asleep, I might have
learned that my grief for my grandmother's death was diminishing, for
she appeared in them less crushed by the idea that I had formed of her
non-existence. I saw her an invalid still, but on the road to
recovery, I found her in better health. And if she made any allusion
to what she had suffered, I stopped her mouth with my kisses and
assured her that she was now permanently cured. I should have liked to
call the sceptics to witness that death is indeed a malady from which
one recovers. Only, I no longer found in my grandmother the rich
spontaneity of old times. Her words were no more than a feeble, docile
response, almost a mere echo of mine; she was nothing more than the
reflexion of my own thoughts."
—Marcel Proust, Cities of the Plain
Ahhh - very interesting take!! But I see that your viewpoint essentially states: consciousness is ever-lasting and it is the 'base.' There is no consistency nor wonder in it: it just existed and created an infinite branch - one in which we exist. Very interesting idea, and one which I see is a mixture of having a creator and both having a 'wave function' trying out all paths - but nonetheless, how do you get rid of the inconsistency of having something there that doesn't have a logical base? Or maybe - we don't need a logical base - some things just are I suppose?
The gist of that license seems to be:

- you can use this software for free at home for personal use

- if you use it at work, you can try it out for free but you have to pay to really use it

- we welcome your code submissions, which will hopefully grow our license revenue

I feel like there are already licenses out there that hit these major points. If I ran across software that used this license, I would recommend they use one of the other popular licenses or just dual-license.

In general, I want licenses to be written and vetted by lawyers.
The coordinates of the blast are given as 47°S 40°E, while Prince Edward is at about 38°E. Google maps shows the distance as about 100 miles. Tan(2degrees) x 100 x 5280 gives about 18,400 feet below the horizon at Prince Edward for the elevation of the blast. So any radiation from the blast itself would travel through a lot of shielding water and rock. Possibly the decay of fallout aloft could be detected, but that would only be for gamma radiation at that distance through air. And not many fission products would make it to 18,000 feet from a small bomb.

Lol, you are a troll. What does this have to do with anything? Trump has a billion more dollars than me and he's a moron.

More importantly have you ever even lived in a "socialist" country in Europe.

It's always so ironic when the people screaming how much socialism sucks and then asked if they've ever lived in Finland, etc their answer is always no. From your history it looks like you've never even lived in Europe.

As a pediatrician who talks a lot about ear infections with parents, this finding is fascinating. One of the facts that brings relief to parents of children with chronic otitis media is that they tend to grow out of it, due to the shifting eustacian tube anatomy cited in the article. Adults and older children get ear infections from time to time, but on the whole, they’re rare. It seems this wasn’t the case for Neanderthal.

I wonder if there’s any evidence of rudimentary surgeries (ie, shove a small sharp stick through the tympanic membrane) to relieve the painful pressure. This would likely disrupt the bones on the middle ear, though I imagine this is difficult/impossible to study in the fossil record.
The article states 18% of men had no close friends, significantly higher than women at 12%. Honestly that’s doesn’t sound hugely different to me. For every two women with none, there’s three men with none. The gap is a bit smaller for best friends too.

I really miss the optimism of Star Trek. His character, Nog, almost lived in miniature the point of the whole story. That technology does have the ability to reinforce people’s better angels. Stark contrast with scifi of today being largely dystopian. Blows my mind that Aron was 50. I’ll always remember the optimistic young man in the series. Sounds like he was a genuinely good person.

Yep, I’m tearing up!
Check out the podcast "Business Wars" by Wondery. They have an 8-episode miniseries on Netflix vs. Blockbuster that I really enjoyed and highly recommend. It includes this story, as well as some of the other competitive developments that, as crazy as it sounds now, at the time almost looked like they would bring a victory to Blockbuster.
Somehow we just all “decided” that two parent families, where we work jobs we hate (and that if we get fired we’re on our own), where the social space is dominated by corporate interests, where if we get sick we are forced into poverty - this is society. Of course everyone is alone and terrified.

I find it interesting that men seem to be at the polar ends of the friendship spectrum. When lonely, they are the most lonely, and also when they have friendship claim higher levels of trust in those relationships than women would.

Women who express feelings of loneliness tend to have more human connections than men expressing similar feelings.

Women claiming to have good friendships still do not indicate high levels of trust like men reporting that they have good friendships.

I wonder why though?

It’s like men are either destined to be lone wolves or a tight knit squad.

I moved to another country at the age of 30, which meant the number of friends I had dropped to 0.

With recent MySQL:

ERROR: 1364: Field 'col' doesn't have a default value

> Postgres has, in addition, indexes over expression, which allows you to build indexes for specific queries into JSONB.

MySQL has that, too. I consider this quite useful, especially since MySQL also supports indexing an array of values from a JSON document. (Given `{"colors": ["red", "green", "blue" ]}` a search for `JSON_CONTAINS('$.colors', 'red')` benefits from the index.
