> Isn’t the Clean Air Act statute — itself an act of Congress — the Commerce Clause in action?

Yes, but the reason (from your OP) "a State can effectively set emissions standards" is because the Clean Air Act explicitly allows it to and allows other states to voluntarily follow suit.
And that's why we have things like GPL and free software, which ensure, that contributions are brought back to the community.
If you want to have contributions brought back to the communities and not only rest inside for profit organizations, then perhaps choose a license to enforce that. This is what many open source people do not get: Many "don't care, it's open source"-licenses (MIT license for example) lack the backed in ethics of the free software licenses, which in contrast have been _designed_ to force contributions to be shared with the community.
When someone chooses an open source and not free software license, they can't complain afterwards, that modifications are not brought back as contributions for the community. That's just being uninformed.
High wealth people don't have 'income', they have 'further wealth acquistion' which is normally structured to be tax free.
I was more interested in the credibility of the people than the medium. But how about the EMACS Virgins joke incident from 2009? http://opensourcetogo.blogspot.com/2009/07/emailing-richard-...

HS2 is a special case because it is augmenting the West Coast Main Line which runs at-capacity almost 24/7. You can't shut it down for 30 minutes at 3am, let alone for years while it is replaced wholesale.

I wonder: as a percentage of the total number of banks, how does this compare to individual bankruptcies as a percentage of the total population?

From a quick search: apparently in 2017, there were 767,721 non-business bankruptcies in the US. That's about 0.236% of the population.

And that year, there were 4,909 banks. 8 failures would represent 0.163% of them.

So it looks like individuals were a bit more likely to go bust than banks in 2017, but those figures aren't really all that different.

(I haven't checked exactly what these figures mean, or how authoritative they are. Just wanted a ballpark idea...)

OK, we probably should exclude children from the calculation of the individual bankruptcy rate, which would make it look rather worse. Still, the difference between individuals and banks isn't as dramatic as I'd have expected.
Wrong decision. Nobody wants to update their browser this frequently, and the release overhead is a constant factor. So you're basically having a lot less productive time where you actually produce value. But hey, not my call I guess.
The Middle East oil states had some truly ridiculous growth starting around 1950. South Korea ‘wins’ over a rather specific time period via sustained growth, but it’s growth rate is not that unusual when you start looking at industrialization and post war recovery.
What of it?

The linux literally exists because lots of people believe in something greater than "I need to be paid per line of code".

If you want to reduce it to a simple transactional level like that then year...they are not getting paid.

Even the article's example mentions a FOSS writer that got hired (and thus paid) literally because he is a famous FOSS writer...yet somehow he's not getting paid?

Yes FOSS crew deserves more credit and perhaps money but the logic is all over the place there.
No, in this case "bad" is a synonym of "rad".

Some companies do have systems set up to pay OSS projects, but it's hard to navigate. I think a lot of people enjoy donating their time to OSS because it's fairly low-stress (until the above situation happens). I don't want to figure out billing and stuff when companies want my support, it's not a company, and that's why the article here exists. That's why this discussion is happening.
Crashplan is kinda reliable to me... but sloooow. Recently had a drive die on me. Restore was buggy at first.

Yeah, I can understand that not fitting someones use-case. Backblaze on the other hand didn't offer client side encryption when I last checked, so I'll have to stick with the slow one.

You are getting downvoted because your contributions to hacker news are low quality. Consider contributing something else other than conspiracy theories.

The CIA and NSA are two organizations under the Dept of Homeland Security.

They are only opposed to one another in the sense that they are both competing for funding. The divisions among government that you imagine just aren't real.

The "deep state" is mostly a bunch of employees that keep on chugging regardless of who is in charge. Most of what they do isn't secret it is just complicated and boring. To the degree that they possess agendas those agendas are enumerated in long boring documents you will probably never bother to read.

Those that ARE confidential or secret work at the behest of our President even when said President is a giant orange boob.

It seems to me that a) this is an inherent and long-standing feature of messaging systems that use open, free, and/or federated protocols, b) it invites even more interruptions as you're blending policies of two or more organisations, and lowest common denominator will likely 'win', c) you're still stuck mapping any non-trivial issues raised in chat back onto a proper tracking system.

The suggestion that your knowledge 'archive' is located in an off-site subscription service that's not indexed with the rest of your institutional knowledge systems, and likely with a poor signal:noise ratio, is worrisome. Do some organisations actually work this way?
Stock purchases are no different than dividends, which have been around forever. The only difference is being forced to realize tax gains (on the shareholders’ parts).

Returning money to shareholders is much better than pissing it away on whimsical experiments because the market is a better investor than some exec board at a company sitting on cash.
I've seen lawyers look up from reading a particularly convoluted and confusing passage and say, without a trace of irony, "This part of the claims is teaching that . . ."

Teaching, yeah right.

"Teaching" is what the patents are supposed to do. In reality, there is nearly always nothing to actually learn other than how much of, say, the act of 'breathing' the claimant is trying to do a land-grab on.

The second a company sends me a gif email is the second I take my business elsewhere.
Am I misunderstanding something?

Instead of teaching the "AI" intelligent rules or rules for creating rules for maximising their goals.
They teach them nothing, which means they have 0 usable high level knowledge.
And the "AI" pure bruteforce for finding empirically best solutions for this ridiculously simple universe.

How is that advancing research?
This is just a showcase of what modern hardware can do, and also a showcase of how far we are from teaching intelligence.
My brain understand the semantics of this universe and would have been able to find most strategies without simulating the game more than once in my head.
So definitely this is a showcase of how far (bruteforce is like step 0) we (or at least openAI) are from making AGI.
This rapist is out.

It isn't cognitive dissonance just because you aren't capable of discerning the difference between the types of mail. It is possible (indeed, it is the case) that the law sees no difference between packages and letters while also making a disctinction elsewhere. In this case, the law makes a distinction between sealed mail and unsealed mail, but it does not consider the fact that they are "letters" or "packages" in this distinction.

Again, you're getting hung up on the words "letter" vs "package", and you're constructing a straw man around that. Please take your own advice and avoid such arguments.
It's just moral relativism. While not usually the most popular of philosophical schools of though, it's hardly new, either. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-relativism/

But, fine, let us suppose that morality is objective --- we can even go so far as to say that it is entirely so, and not at all a moving target. That doesn't necessarily mean that your moral compass, or even the compass of society at any given time, is correct --- even if you strongly feel that it should be. Ethics involves the careful and systematic study and consideration of morality. Words like "obvious" don't really have a place in ethics.
Don't worry about the design. That can come later. Just get a single, well formed HTML page up there with a few words. Once you have that the design and content problems will seem less insurmountable.

I spent years agonising. I even wrote my own Node.js framework before I finally realised it was all procrastination, and put together a static site and deployed it in a few minutes. Over the years I've added features and improved the static site generator, but the design is still a bit rubbish!
and I thought there was discussion about including mx.net. Looks like if you want to build, train and reuse NNs (in an established framework) you finally have to choose between Google, Facebook or Amazon/Microsoft in every case.
The website after clicking "get started for free" does not work. It is only a black white page. After looking at the source, I can see the problem. It is _JS only_. The JS is uglified as well, so I am not trusting it. You could have at least made some effort to include a noscript tag.

The website also looks like it is hiding functionality behind a registration, instead of letting me try right away, but I cannot confirm this, as the website does not work, as stated above.

Is "releasing when it's ready" basically what was done in the past for e.g. CD-distributed software?

I imagine that could work well in some cases, but it also allows corporate bureaucracy and/or marketing teams to determine when things get released at larger scales and that might not be so ideal.

Epstein has always reminded me of someone Batman would fight. He even had henchmen and an island lair.

A while back some friends and I came up with his super-villain name. Batman had The Riddler, but Epstein would be... drum roll... The Diddler! Now roll that into one of those old campy Batman episodes from the 60s and you'd have a hell of a skit.

All I can do is laugh at this stuff sometimes. The alternative is to get depressed about the lack of judgement that seems to be routinely shown by otherwise very bright people who should know better. People seem to be such suckers for these charismatic psychopath types and their "energy."
The article's loose language is confusing. The full analysis has 3 parties: virtuous boycottor investors, vicious (as in vice) investors, which the article incorrectly calls "sinner", and the evil corporation. The conclusion is that the virtuous boycottor investors' weapon is forcing the evil company to pay the vicious investors a premium return, until the corporation is bankrupt, and the vicious investors laugh all the way to the bank while the virtuous investors take pride that their financial sacrifice improved the world.
I suppose it's not something that the Fed would want trumpeted in every paper, but thanks for informing me that they were reversing QE. I agree, you would think that the effects of selling off a half trillion in assets per year since the beginning of last year would be much more substantial. Didn't they buy up a whole bunch of mortgages?
Nonsense. Salary is an indicator of utilized leverage, not of quality. Plenty of software devs could easily put themselves out of business, and not be sure what to work on next, without capturing all of the value they generate.
> This has been said before, but free speech is beyond just government censorship and has a wider definition.

This has also been said before, but free speech specifically includes the right of others to dissociate from you because of your speech, as a central aspect of their freedom of speech, and in fact such dissociation is a central part of the concept of the marketplace of ideas supported by free speech.

> the idea that someone's livelihood is under threat due to their speech can be just as coercive as threatening a fine or jail for their speech

Yes, the fact that our society doesn't provide a minimal non-market guarantee of livelihood makes free interaction coercive economically coercive for many people. The problem is not with free interaction, however.
It is likely just a GeoIP database and some basic user agent heuristics. I've worked at places that claimed stuff like this in public, and when you got to see behind the curtain it was a huge disappointment.

The people who really spend big bucks on this stuff are the ad-networks. Click-fraud is hugely costly to them, so determining "real" users (and the quality/type of user) is huge multi-billion dollar stuff. Creepy, but it works.
RMS is not guilty of a crime, I don't think anyone is saying that.

RMS can (could) make his defense, nobody stopped him, sreened or censored the posts, his opinions are legal.

RMS can't (couldn't) make some of the statements he made and keep his prominent positions.

The issue at hand is not that he was defending his deceased friend. Indeed I think it is very possible that the actual situation was that Minsky was there and declined the sexual advances. That is a story which is out there, I'm not here to judge if it's true or not.

It was the way RMS was defending. Those specific statements are things you "can't" do and - qualifying here - keep a prominent public position, especially when you are making them in a prominent forum in that institution.

RMS shouldn't be charged with a crime, but he did make a whole lot of people not want to work with or be associated with him.
If anything, shouldn't the green contingent buy more stock in oil companies to try and effect a hostile takeover?
>The biggest example we have is the way big corporations are furiously repurchasing their own stock. This is a huge fortune spent every few days for no productive reason, with the only goal of making big company returns to look more attractive than they are.

Stock buybacks are the same thing financially as a corporation issuing dividends except that with a buyback, the holder isn't forced to take a taxable event. It's almost always better for the owners to receive buybacks rather than dividends, especially if the owners pay income taxes.
Freedom of association (or more specifically: the freedom to not associate) has limits; for example, freedom of association "doesn't matter" in the context of whether or not it's legal or moral to prohibit someone of a protected class from patronizing a business.
You should start charging money for this today. Don’t wait until it feels “ready”.
Why is that? Socialism is on the rise, and a very popular sentiment. Most people maybe are confused about what it entails on both sides of the argument - Most on the right think socialists want cold-war-era USSR-like government. Most on the left including self-described socialists just want social democracy and not true marxist socialism.

There are some though who are devout marxists, which has never actually been put 100% into action. Most socialistic attempts have turned into dictator rule.

I'm not an expert on the subject, I just know every argument about socialism spends half the time trying to nail down what socialism is, and then the other half is back and forth about how many people have died under one or the other when there's really no way to quantify it because fuck tons of people have died under socialistic and capitalistic regimes (including the U.S.A -- victims of globalization and war profiteering, poverty, even school shootings because of a lack of medical and mental health accessibility).

But my main point was that word no-longer elicits fear, and contempt like it once did, and for many in America it elicits hope - because capitalism has failed them, so socialism couldn't be worse. So, for some they won't join because of it - for others they will join just because it's a socialist promoting org.

After all Bernie Sanders is one of the most popular politicians, definitely the most successful progressive/left-leaning politician we've ever seen (since FDR), and he gladly wears the title socialist, though I'm pretty sure he means democratic socialist not full socialism as well. <end rant>

> But my freedom of speech should trump your freedom to spin up angry Internet mobs that proceed to turn my words into lies that they use to rip my life apart.

Your freedom of speech doesn't trump anyone else's freedom of speech. If someone is knowingly or recklessly spreading harmful lies, you have recourse for that, but freedom of speech includes freedom of angry speech, and outside of harmful knowing and reckless lies, it included the freedom to be wrong in your speech.
