Agree. I think the strength of free software is that it's making a single ethical point (which is hard enough to get across.) I support anybody wanting to make "ethical" software, but it's 1) not the same thing as free software and 2) very difficult to make an ethical tool; people find it hard enough to explain their personal ethical distinctions, I definitely don't want to listen to a some hammer's idiosyncratic belief system.
I do expect that even people fresh out of school to have made at least one interesting personal project.
I mean... zooming out here, and ignoring the specifics of this case in favour of the “shape” of it—this is basically the point of representative democracy! What it’s supposed to enable, I mean. A group elects someone who’s better at statecraft than the group is; and then that elected representative uses their statecraft abilities to make choices and deals that are optimal for their constituency’s long-term benefit, but which the people could never have made on their own, because those choices don’t have a compelling narrative or “image” to garner populist sentiment. (Or, from the people’s perspective: elected representatives engage in awful horse-trading and disrespect their constituency’s opinions, and yet gradually everything gets better “somehow.”) Or: the people hire a sausage-maker, and then get mad at the process of making sausage.

Sometimes representative democracy has problems, sure; the usual generation gap between politicians and their constituencies is a big reason it takes so long for human-rights legislation (on e.g. gay marriage) to catch up with public sentiment.

But it’s still probably better than the alternatives, e.g. direct democracy. There are a lot of things you just can’t get done using direct democracy. Imagine a nation run by referendum trying to negotiate e.g. a distasteful-but-strategically-necessary wartime alliance with another nation. Sausage needs to get made; but who has the political capital to make it?

Off-topic nit: the word "painstaking" is a concatenation of "pains-taking", i.e. "taking pains". It's not usually given a dash, but if you put one in, it belongs after the "s".

That poem was penned in 1883. Do you know what the federal tax rate was? No need to bother with brackets, as it was 0%. And the state tax rate wasn't much different. How did we pay for our programs for migrants and ensure they were able to achieve a decent and humane life? We didn't. There were some independent 'poor houses' which were essentially farms where people could put in a hard day's work for a hot meal and little bit of cash, but beyond that people were on their own.

The reason this is relevant is because it radically reshapes migration. It means that each and every person who came to this country managed to contribute to society and start earning a living, or they left. As a result of this each and every migrant was, at worst, a non-negative on society. They integrated, they contributed, and society was all the better for it.

Today society is much more humane, and that is probably a good thing. But it also means that each and every person who lives, or comes, to within this country can now be a net negative on society. And so this rather radically changes the calculus. It means each and every person who comes to this nation, if incapable of providing for themselves, stretches our society's finite resources that much thinner. Consequently, there is need for judiciousness and restraint if you wish for these programs, and our generosity, to remain sustainable.

The claim that DoH will interfere with internal DNS of enterprises can be solved with a local deployment of a recursive DoH server right? That also addresses the concern of centralisation. Imagine every ISP offering a DoH sever... so now Cloudflare will not be in a position to scoop up the entire DNS data of the Internet.

I'm still waiting to see a genuinely technical disadvantage of DoH. All that I've read so far are social and implementation related issues that can be ironed out over time.
If the state is going to those lengths, you would need to make sure your automated posting before/during/after web activity is similar to real activity. So you can't just POST a request at a certain time.
This reminds me of the daily posting on reddit in the GPDR subreddit. People are shocked that the countries outside the EU are not respecting the GPDR. Or more shocked that a website would rather not do bushiness with or block people in the EU from seeing their website. Most times a website put up bannersaying "yadda yadda cookies...privacy...agree/disagree?" and that's that.
If we're talking about JS/PHP, we're talking about web development. Front-end stuff has to be done in JS (you can use something else that compiles to JS but I expect you would find that difficult with zero JS knowledge). Back-end stuff can be done in any language, although some (e.g. PHP, Ruby, Python, JS) are more common than say C++. So you can do web development using only JS. But different languages have different pros/cons/approaches, so it's definitely worth venturing outside the JS world at some point. However, if you're still relatively new to JS you should focus on getting to a decent level in that first.
As the article says, this immunotherapy essentially works by turning off some of the immune system's "don't attack your own body" safeties. This frees the immune system to attack the cancer (provided it can identify it).

One big advantage of immunotherapy is that the therapy causes a long-term (permanent? I'm not sure anyone knows; the drugs are less than a decade old) change to the immune system - the body continues to attack the cancer even after the drug treatment has ceased.

If you put these two things together, however, you might see why the side effects can be so bizarre. Your immune system might decide that the liver looked at it funny one day, but then decide that the GI tract is actually the real troublemaker a few days later. And since the immune system change persists post-treatment, so do the side effects.

These side effects can (usually) be controlled with corticosteroids (hydrocortisone/prednisone/etc.), which have an immunosuppressant effect. Of course, long-term corticosteroid use has its own severe side effects (plus severe dependency issues). And if you're suppressing the immune system, then you're suppressing the mechanism that the immunotherapy uses to fight the cancer in the first place. The treatment and the side effects are two sides of the same coin.

> ...they hope that Google will suffer enough from this decision that they'll have to reconsider in the future...

Google loses literally nothing.

Google doesn't make any money off Google news. They make money sending traffic to advertisers, not to news sites. And the Google news page doesn't run ads. It's just a free service.

The only benefit to Google is that it makes their brand better.

This has been the irony all along; Google's been running a 100% free (NOT ad supported) service to help users find news sites, and the news sites demand to be compensated. So OF COURSE this is going to be the response; there was never any money to share.

Interesting article.

The problem of ethical use of something is not limited to software. When you get any tangible object, you don’t usually get usage restrictions from a license. So, if this is a problem to solve, I think that the solution should be sought more generally, not restricting the scope to software. (edit: and not to an individual software, which would be a weak way of "preventing" an unethical practice at the society level anyway).

Usage of tangible objects is restricted by law. I think it should be the same for software. And yes, law is not perfect, and not the same for different countries.

Everybody has their own, evolving, ethics. If everybody starts restricting usage for random things in licenses, we may be in for a big mess. And I say this as someone who has an opinion on many ethical matters.

If you have iOS with auto-updates on, then it can reboot several times a year when Apple releases point updates. Or at least once a year when the new big version of iOS comes out.

Good write up. It is a tough question, but I personally think that we are all well served with LGPL/GPL/AGPL, Apache 2, and MIT licenses.

I understand the motivation for other more specific licenses, but it is also an advantage to just have a small set of licenses that people are familiar with.

I like to release stuff under ‘use either Apache 2 or GPL’, your choice. However, I honestly don’t know what problems that might cause people.

If I had to choose one license for all my stuff I would choose LGPL (permit free commercial use, changes to library must be shared) but a lot of my open source code is examples for my books so I like to be broad as possible, license wise.
I read the article, Holland definitely got the guy to talk through unconventional means. He has killers draw their victims. He seems unaffected by the flat way the killer describes his victims. It’s almost like becoming the killers “advocate” (lack of a better word) instead of prosecutor.
Whenever a conversation about executives come up, many tend to jump into the "this is not fair" band wagon. Below is a different take on senior executives that may help shed light on why some things are the way they are.

To become a senior executive, the individual must often pass through many trials and tribulations which entails risk taking. A portion of that comes with taking a leap into different verticals, inheriting and resolving other people's mess, taking a strategic perspective on things, etc. But you must think, "other's also have to go through that" and it is true, but for potential and new executives, it tends to happen more often and at a greater risk to the self and the organization. The risk they take also needs to account for competition, time without family/friends, emphasis in the company not in the self, etc. All of these are risks, and when compounded can increase the compensation value of an executive. If the market functioned differently it is likely that a lot less people would be interested in taking that jump, specially in today's economy, where most computer & IT occupations have a similar median pay than a top executive [1][2] (USA numbers).

As they become the 0.01% of the 0.01% in their area of expertise, they are able to command better compensation for their time. By being part of that equation, you often have to jump into publicly traded companies and become a public figure (internally & externally) which is viewed as a premium in market led opportunities (artists, sports players, etc).

A simpler way to visualize the demand aspect of it is to ask yourself: If you had $1m, would you prefer to put it in the hands of someone with reputation or in the hands of the average Joe passing by? Would you pay $300k to get the best doctor to treat your illness with a 5% higher odds of survival or would you be fine to do it with someone else for $50k?

Of course, there are still questions regarding market distortions, cronyism and many others that should be taken into account and potentially acted upon to create what society perceives to be fair. It is just important to be mindful of the overall picture.

> our society relies on small rule breaking all the time

Precisely. And individually, we all have different ideas of which are acceptable to break regularly, which we're generally indifferent about, and which should be considered absolute.

The prospect of absolute enforcement sounds great when used against something you agree with, like failing to pick up dog poop.

Probably not-so-great when used to enforce one of the rules you personally break regularly. I'm sure you can think of several, and I might only agree with half.

> If 100% enforcement becomes the norm, the laws need to be much more precise with many more exceptions and clarifications.

I think it's the opposite. We need fewer laws with less precision. Too many laws are effectively "How not to be a dick all the time or endanger other people." But what constitutes being a dick or endangering someone is often more situational than a bright-line "Never do X."

Nevermind that we have so many laws it's impossible for anyone to be sure they haven't already broken one today.
FWIW, you’re holding my opinions to a higher degree of scrutiny than your own. You’re requiring me to provide evidence and a degree of argumentation and elaboration that you have not required of yourself. For instance, you have claimed that there is a disinformation war and you seem to be implying that it is being perpetrated by the right (which is actually a common trope that is used to marginalize the right wing; “the only reason Trump won is because of the Russians”, etc.). Yet you have not provided any evidence for your position at all; you have merely stated it. That said, here goes:

There are three major national newspapers in the US: NYT, WaPo, and WSJ. The only conservative one, the WSJ, is primarily a business paper and not as widely consumed or influential as the other two. There is only one right wing TV news outlet: Fox News. MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC are all left wing. Every single night time comedy or current events show is left wing (one late night host even referred to Trump’s mouth as “Putin’s cock holster” and is still on the air!). There are almost zero publicly out right wing actors, writers, or musicians. There are no prestigious, top tier national magazines which are right wing (The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Rolling Stone, etc.).

Here are marginalized right wing ideas: that large scale low-skill immigration is bad for low-skill workers (marginalized by calling people who believe this racists), that having biological men compete in women’s sports is unfair or that allowing men to use female restrooms because of some unverifiable claim about what is happening in their head is not safe (both marginalized by calling people who believe them transphobes), that business owners should be allowed to not perform services that violate their religious beliefs (marginalized by calling people homophobes).

As humans we shape our tools and in turn our tools shape us. Not all tools are good for us. There is a growing backlash against technology in the classroom and it’s being spearheaded by wealthy parents. They recognize that tablets are consumption devices optimized for engagement and that they tend to be very addictive to young children, a bad mix if your goal is to raise your child to be a leader rather than a consumer.
There is absolutely no doubt that media portrayal of some issues is distorted. But this isn't what the example was focused on, it was focused on the notion that antipodal partisan couples exist around some of these issues, and I submit you're going to have a hard time finding any that do.

The idea that there aren't hard fault lines in the American political discourse is itself a media distortion as well, primarily driven by pro-State media.

And in fact, your view of the world is outdated. Faith as an intermarriage agreement point is down substantially as people care less about religion [0]. Partisan divides are rising as folks start feeling freer to express more opinions [1], we see that data suggests partisanship is rising.

Increasingly, women are not required to accept a politically opposite husband (a clear trend in the data prior). Without their forbearance, who is going to form these unions you're used to seeing?

I'd like to point out that the idea that, "Well the media distorts things therefore none of this is real" is an absurd premise that is largely used by privileged people to ignore the suffering and difficulty of others, using the excuse of ignorance without mentioning its self-inflicted.p

In a lot of ways Judaism and what it evolved into is the unreligion religion. Events in it, like the plagues of Egypt, are digs at the asinine nature of contemporary customs. E.g. the frogs were a plague because the frogs were sacred and could not be killed. In general the Abrahamic God doesn't want you fettering your wealth away on complicated rituals.

In the West, you can usually see a split between people who view animals largely as property and those that don't. The latter concern me, because although I can oppose wanton cruelty -- when it comes down to it, there are people, and not people. And if I need to get rid of property because I can't maintain it, I should be able to do so.
