Absolutely! In fact AGPL v3 guarantees that right (otherwise in the US I think arguably the DMCA blocks breaking access protections like that).

In practice, I'm not too worried. It's a fair bit of a hassle, as you'd have to rebuild everything yourself. It'd also require a fork that would make keeping up to date with the main versions new features painful, and it's been moving pretty quickly!

It's only a few dollars a month, if that's expensive enough for you that the time & hassle to fork the whole thing would be worthwhile, email me at tim@httptoolkit.tech and I'll just give you a free subscription.

Oh thank goodness, the "woke" patrol is here! Thanks for pushing the more politically-correct (as of about three years ago) euphemism for killing oneself. To kill oneself is to commit an act of violence or murder against oneself.
Looking at the license [1], it appears to be GPL v2 with a classpath exception. This means it doesn't directly deal with the issue of patents, only copyright. There have been cases in the past of companies going after users for patents on otherwise open source projects. The worst part is, Oracle reserves those right so they can decide retroactively to go after those users (unless Oracle decides to modify/replace the license).

I like the idea of faster and smaller devices but dislike the idea of expensive production methods that are only realizable with heavy capital investment and large volumes of products.

Like I can realize a PCB prototype in my apartment (or rather, my parking lot without telling my landlord), or rent a CNC machine at a makerspace/public library to do it. If I need the thing fabbed with a nice solder mask and silk screen, I can have it made for < $20 domestically with under two weeks lead time. Component sourcing is even easier.

But where do I go to have the chiplets I need for the circuit? Organize the logistics to ship them to the clean-room where they can be packaged on this fabric? How many widgets do I need to ship for this to be viable, or for the contract fab to not laugh at me? How do I prototype? How long is the lead time?

It just seems like there's a lot in the way of this being viable for run of the mill projects.

I'm focused on ultraprocessed foods. Many people ask "how are highly processed foods different than regular whole foods". Thus I provide a deeper reason for ultraprocessed foods to be bad for you. They are often supplemented with fillers that are evidenced to be detrimental to health in a variety of ways.

I read the article and understand that many explanations were offered. However, none of them were more substantial than one study put together. In my opinion, the article was fairly high level and simply provided a brief overview of competing theories on obesity and processed foods.

I understand your point in that focusing on any "one thing" that allegedly drives poor health is a fool's errand, but you can't discount the facts. I also acknowledge that I could be wrong, ALA could have nothing to do with this, and we should quit all meats for maximum health. From what I have seen, the data has shown otherwise. But again, please prove me wrong.

A babysitting job isn't very demanding, or we wouldn't have so many teenagers doing it. If someone seems to be qualified, then they probably are. If you're okay with hiring a murderer in general, I don't think they're notably less likely to babysit correctly. Let me know if I'm wrong here? (If you're not okay with hiring a murderer in general, then ignore this comment.)

For a sex offender, it depends on what kind. For example, a former prostitute is no less qualified than anyone else. But sure, some kinds are relevant, and should disqualify people from a narrow slice of jobs.

The problem is when people have supposedly served their time but can't get 95% of jobs.
> tiny deductible ($2,500)

That's quite a large deductible.
I don't know man?

In this case, giving the numbers of how much we'd need to harness to have an effect is pointless. We aren't really in any kind of a place to grasp the enormity of the numbers. Numbers that big really do become meaningless.

Wind is just second order solar energy. Massive amounts of solar energy make it to Earth in a given year. I suppose if you must have a number, we can work in either kWh or BTUs. Won't really make a difference to the enormity of the outcome though.

For instance, in BTUs, about 80 million british quads of the energy that the sun gives earth will make it to the surface in a year. (I know the sun delivers more than 80 million british quads, but I'm not counting the 30% that gets reflected). Now I'll be nice, and say an additional 10-20% of that is absorbed by biomass. (It's not, it's way closer to 10%, but I'm being nice.) And an average American home uses what? say 50 million BTUs a year, (About 12 - 15 thousand kWh), if they're being profligate?

So the wind is coming from the interplay of the solar energy absorbed by different areas of the ocean and different areas on land. (Another caveat, our atmosphere can trap some of the energy, which will add to new energy sent by the sun, and kind of spiral in that fashion. This is what happened to Venus, which is why they have like 500 mile an hour winds there.) In any case, ignoring the climate warming, we'd have to find some way to harness enough wind to make an impact against, say, 20 million british quads of BTUs.

Yeah. That's not gonna happen.

This is what I mean by incomprehensibly massive numbers. Basically, we'd have to harness enough wind to power roughly 5 billion groups of US homes, where each group would contain about 1 trillion US homes each. That would be just to have a 1 percent impact on the energy in the winds on this planet in a year. And the required number goes up with global warming, because more wind.

At this point we're talking monopoly money man. It's meaningless. Again, we don't have the smarts or technological know how to do anything even close to that, and don't really have any kind of frame of reference as a species to meaningfully ponder the implications of such enormous numbers and amounts of energy. Even thinking about it only makes you consider the smallness of mankind.

His assertion here is that "Endless money-losing is a variant of counterfeiting". I just don't see how that claim stands up to any real scrutiny. Counterfeiting is a totally different thing.

To your point about negative real returns: just because it's been that way in the past doesn't mean that it's not a tragedy or that it's not possible to have reliable assets that keep their value over time. This is an especially desirable quality in currencies, and why gold and now bitcoin are so important.

It's not mutually exclusive with a Universal Healthcare plan, for one thing. But I think it's still a worthwhile goal with or without a separate initiative for universal healthcare.

It brings costs down, because many more people are now on a level playing field. If we stick with the current market-based system, this would make a big difference in actually having it start to function like a market. The average, middle class American will actually have to evaluate the costs of their plan and shop around for the best value, and they will also be very aware of how much they're spending and push for measures to bring down costs. If we do also build up a universal healthcare system, then working, middle class people will end up actually using the universal healthcare system, and again will be incentivized to push to make it work well.

As things stand today, people on the "open market" plans are clearly being treated as second class citizens, they're paying more and getting worse coverage than people who have a special connection (whether that's a company plan, union, etc). The taxing is also wonky and unfair, at least if I understand this correctly if I pay for a marketplace plan I'm paying with after-tax money, but if my company pays for my plan it's untaxed.

In my opinion there are also additional reasons this would be a net good thing, even if it were merely neutral on the two criteria that you call out. It will give people more freedom to do what they want to do -- right now if you want to quit a job or work only part-time, even if you have a source of income or savings to make it feasible, healthcare is a major hurdle. If you want to start a small business and need to offer healthcare for your employees, it's an even bigger hurdle. I would rather live in a world where it's as easy as possible to make your own path, and people are not beholden to a full-time job to have access to healthcare.

I think the value of a brand is under-estimated by HN in general. Brands make people do irrational things and brands do form moats. So while the hardware might be owned by someone else, is it hard to imagine that Uber might be the first association that 1bn people make with "needing a ride"? My answer is no, it's not hard to get there given what I know.

No doubt that car manufacturers will partner with a non-Uber software company. And Uber will partner with someone for hardware. I feel like we could look at how industries consolidate and have an educated guess about how it will play out: some car manufacturers combine to gain more leverage, some create their own proprietary software, some try opening up their cars to multiple software options, one manufacturer exclusively partners with Uber, etc. Phones and computers come to mind as probably sharing _some_ parallels.

So I think the question in our simple discussion is whether the value of the brand and internal knowledge of the software side (data, et al) outweighs the value of having the hardware figured out. And maybe given that this is complicated, it's less about who is in a stronger position and more about who executes better while pursuing that strategy.
It's just a white-label version. No IP licensing is necessary, or indeed at all likely; there'd just be a contract for the branding, and a post-final assembly step in which the branding is applied.
Applying NLP to Cyber Security
This is a major oversimplification that is not at all feasible for most people. Sure, I could theoretically get an engineering position at Amazon, buy one of the highly desirable multimillion dollar properties within walking distance that sell before they're even on the market, sell my current house, move my family and possessions, and so on. How reasonable do you think that recommendation really is for most people? Also, this is talking about people running their own businesses, and I certainly don't run Amazon or have the funding to both open my own business anywhere near Seattle as well as purchase a house within walking distance. Sure, you can skew the entire scenario and say it's reasonable to work for a major company as an engineer rather than own your own company, rent an apartment rather than buy a house, and make any number of other changes but that isn't really what is being discussed
> Uber itself hasn't once stated that this is their goal, not even to shareholders.

Uhhh what? This is patently false. So, like maybe, people think that this is Uber's strategy, because they literally dictated it was part of their strategy.

Autonomous vehicle is mentioned 103 times in their S-1. [0]

We also hope to add autonomous vehicles, delivery drones, and vertical takeoff and landing vehicles to our network, along with other future innovations.

Our Autonomous Driving Strategy

We are investing in technology to power the next generation of transportation. Our Advanced Technologies Group (“ATG”) focuses on developing autonomous vehicle technologies, which we believe have the long-term potential to provide safer and more efficient rides and deliveries to consumers, as well as lower prices. ATG was established in 2015 in Pittsburgh with 40 researchers from Carnegie Robotics and Carnegie Mellon University. ATG has primary engineering offices in Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Toronto with over 1,000 employees. ATG has built over 250 self-driving vehicles, collected data from millions of autonomous vehicle testing miles, and completed tens of thousands of passenger trips. Along the way to a potential future autonomous vehicle world, we believe that there will be a long period of hybrid autonomy, in which autonomous vehicles will be deployed gradually against specific use cases while Drivers continue to serve most consumer demand. As we solve specific autonomous use cases, we will deploy autonomous vehicles against them. Such situations may include trips along a standard, well-mapped route in a predictable environment in good weather. In other situations, such as those that involve substantial traffic, complex routes, or unusual weather conditions, we will continue to rely on Drivers. Moreover, high-demand events, such as concerts or sporting events, will likely exceed the capacity of a highly utilized, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and require the dynamic addition of Drivers to the network in real time. Our regional on-the-ground operations teams will be critical to maintaining reliable supply for such high-demand events. Deciding which trip receives a vehicle driven by a Driver and which receives an autonomous vehicle, and deploying both in real time while maintaining liquidity in all situations, is a dynamic that we believe is imperative for the success of an autonomous vehicle future. Accordingly, we believe that we will be uniquely suited for this dynamic during the expected long hybrid period of co-existence of Drivers and autonomous vehicles. Drivers are therefore a critical and differentiating advantage for us and will continue to be our valued partners for the long-term. We will continue to partner with original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and other technology companies to determine how to most effectively leverage our network during the transition to autonomous vehicle technologies.

"Google Glass, but only the creepy bits."
Yes, these buds have microphones like almost every other pair of earbuds and headphones (not to mention the phone they're connected to!). If you don't want people to hear you, it's probably best not to talk. Airpods even have a feature that uses the mic to boost ambient sounds, specifically so you can better hear people.
After a quick look, IMO Watermill is a bit more flexible, because of middlewares and decorators support ;)

And what is unique, Watermill provides some high-level concepts like messages Router or out-of-the-box CQRS support which is really helpful when you are building bigger application.

No such thing exists. Even if it did, the TTL of records and creation of new ones would make it out-of-date almost immediately. The only way to get all sub domains (and many domains) is to crawl or enumerate all permutations.

> also hiring actuaries/insurance specialists/consultants

What usually happens is that they pay a health insurer to "administer" the plan, or a "Third Party Administrator", which gains them access to all the actuarial stuff, as well as the provider discounts and negotiations, for a service fee, meaning the only effective difference is that your employer doesn't have its funds in a "pool" but can instead choose how much, or little to pay, from its own funding.
So they'd have one company for every patent. It won't work.
I have only a rudimentary understanding of electronics and what the various components do, so this may be a dumb question, but how on earth do you diagnose an issue like this? If my monitor dies or my printer stops working and I open it up, I’m completely bewildered at what steps you’d take to figure out that some random resistor or capacitor out of (what seems like) thousands of components is the one causing the issue. Do you just go through and test each one with a multimeter until you find it?

i personally never said anything about being happy. I said pretending to have a better life. just for what it's worth, i don't think that happiness = a better life. if anything, being a slave to happiness is just another mundane chemical attachment that we all allow to control our lives. i get that most people want to be happy and it's easier to convince other people to believe you it you can point to something and say "ah but look how happy it makes me and other people", but unfortunately you're not going to convince me with that. i personally believe that the only way to a better life is in having balance in all things; sadness is just as important as happiness. when you cut one side of the equation off, you cause a decline in homeostasis and your body and mind must react in order to try and get back to balance.

as far as miracles, im sorry but I don't believe in magic spells and third party attestations as to their veracity. humans will see and believe what they want to see and believe. and they will do whatever they can to maintain a consistent worldview, even if that means discarding a rational explanation for what happened.

as far as God being good, I'm sorry but have you read the old testament? the new testament and the word of the Christ might be the foundational text of Christianity, but the fact of the matter is Yahweh of the new testament is still Yahweh of the old testament. he may have made a new covent with humanity, but imagine some serial killer killed hundreds of people, then suddenly one day said "ok i know I did some bad things but I totally promise that I won't do those things anymore." would you believe him? if not, why would you believe Yahweh meant it? because he gave divine inspiration to people and essentially guided them to write a bunch of propaganda that says "God is good!" despite all the atrocities that were committed in his name and according to his word? need i mention, say, the canaanites and the amalekites? I'm sorry, but God is not good. he is a vengeful, imperfect being who is jealous and even admits it and yet people just ignore that to take what they want from the religion because it suits them. and it's fine if that's what you're doing, just be willing to admit it and accept that if you can do that, then I certainly can just as well take what was said in the Bible as proof that it is nothing more than allegorical and somewhat historical, and made by man to justify the behavior of a very restricted group of individuals.

Yeah, fair point. Technically, windows was C++ but close enough, plus as you say other Gui toolkits also used async. And I should have remembered that since Gui libraries used async for the same reason as browser JS. It's not good to block the UI thread.

Seems one of the main advantages is higher density of conductors and connectors compared to a PCB. Aligning those dielets with micrometer precision would seem to require equipment out of reach for the hobbyist. And then bonding them, while they don't use solder but rather temperature and pressure, again with such small connectors I guess the line between bonding and destroying the thing is very very fine. Again requiring specialized and presumably expensive equipment.
