Yes, I think it can. There's nothing that stops a man from suing for alimony. Apparently even in places like Nebraska (which I would expect are "traditional" and conservative), men are awarded alimony when they ask for it.

And I think that's a big part of it, too: judges will often just award alimony to a woman as a matter of course; men have to ask for it.
No fancy (elite) MBA takes applicants right out of college now. Harvard, for example, does identify and grant admission very promising students right out of undergrad, but makes them wait 2 years to get professional experiences through their 2+2 program.
It would be nice to bring "hover" back to touch applications. You can have hover with a mouse but not with your finger. Good for tool-tip style help.

The stories of personality change or risks are so overly reported on you forget that millions of people are using psychedelics daily without losing their personality.

Personally, I don't see how it is meaningfully any worse for privacy than the always on microphone in the google assistant. And I look forward to what it will enable for VR and AR tech!
Why do consumers "need" to boycott this stuff? I want this stuff, and I want it cheap and readily available -- and hopefully more advanced over time. The "features" on this press release look useful to me as a start to something much better later.
> Slight nit: when you open source something, you're not even volunteering to write code. There is no obligation on your part to continue supporting it at that point. You're simply giving out something that cost you some time (no materials).

Whether you offer paid support or not has no bearing on whether you release your code under an open source license.

Many companies offer support contracts for their open source software. Many paid employees work on open source software, not only volunteers (Google, Facebook, Canonical, Red Hat, SchedMD and so on).

Open source and commercial are not antonyms.
The author says something that I think actually illustrates the main issue I would take with their argument:

> capitalism alone can’t be the engine of human progress

For one, very few people claim that capitalism alone is the solution to human progress. That being said, it very much is the engine. We don't know of a better engine than capitalism, it creates value at unprecedented rates. That doesn't mean that you can't steer its output towards objectives that benefit society in ways that markets are unlikely to address in a timely fashion.

Take Norway. It has a trillion dollar fund, started from selling oil, now continuing to make money by investing in foreign companies. In addition to this, they have a market economy. Because they have so many socialized programs, the implication seems to be that this is not a capitalist country, but this is simply not true. Capitalism, again, is the engine.

Because a state with taxpayer funding produced a notable step forward for humanity does not mean that capitalism had nothing to do with this, it means that capitalism produced the taxpayer funding.
I think SpaceX is private and has healthy positive cashflow, so this shouldn't be a factor?
LEO is not a single orbit. SpaceX is at 210, 340 & 710 miles. The space station is at 248 miles.
My mistake, I had thought that happened in the 70s.
GUIs often encourage starting the program, right-clicking on anything, and the menus can give you a decent educated guess at what you can do to that thing. Bonus points if hovering over a menu item pops out an additional summary banner with some more details of the meaning of that menu item.

CLIs require matching the flags to the direct objects they apply to and carrying that mapping around in your head (and the command will just fail if you try and apply the wrong flag to the wrong object).
How is it not a good thing that you don't need to worry about CPU branch prediction when you're writing Javascript to POST a form to your server?

In most cases you don't need to go that deep to fix performance issues. Your SPA is probably slow because your app bundle is 10mb, not because you have an inner loop that is tripping the branch predictor.

LEO congestion is weird, since unlike GEO, there are lots of different orbital heights and orbital planes that still can be considered LEO.
While I find its inclusion to be a pointless gimmick, I'd like to point out that this chip does not increase your phone's ability to do surveillance.

It's going to have much poorer reach and performance than, say, the front-facing camera. The benefit of such a device is mainly that it's much better at distinguishing gestures in 3D space, regardless of lighting.

Ask HN: Writing content about electric mobility. Niche or noise?
I'm thinking to start writing about electric mobility, given that i have insight into the topic. Is there too much content on this already?
if I understand correctly that’s not extraordinary fast. NASA has sent things over 150k mph.
Yes, but I think it doesn't replace HN.

The first difference is that Slashdot provides a summary of the news, so most Slashdot users do actually read the news, and makes a few points down in comment; unlike Hacker News, where many don't and just wait for a chance to jump in and post comments. Therefore, the contents are often of a different nature, HN is closer to a forum.

Also, the current Slashdot is truly different from early Slashdot. It seems to be more corporative and commercial. On early Slashdot, you can occasionally see interviews and book reviews dedicated to the community, you rarely see those post nowadays, if any. Also, in recent years, Slashdot implemented (or refused to implement) changes and created a strong opposition within a subgroup of users, and gave to birth of forks of smaller site.

While HN is still here and living well (I do know Lobster is a HN fork).

So both HN and Slashdot needs archives, and they should know better not to push for destructive upgrades that makes reading historical posts difficult. Both work well today, but I don't know what would happen in the future.

The disconnect is that their expectations are higher for remote than on-site. If I go for a short walk, and my boss comes to my cube and doesn't see me there, he assumes I went for a walk, or to the cafeteria, or whatever. He'll just try again or send me an email asking me to drop by once I'm back. It's not a problem.

But what I've heard from remote employees: If their manager tries to ping them and don't get a response, then it's "OMG these remote workers slack off too much!"
That is what we already have. Land values are the price to change the lease from one person to another.
The article references this line from the glob documentation: "The glob module finds all the pathnames matching a specified pattern according to the rules used by the Unix shell, although results are returned in arbitrary order."

That wasn't added until Nov 4, 2018 (Edit: see below it was actually Nov 16, 2015 - still more than 6 years ago) so I'd be hesitant to put blame the scripts author. After all he wrote it ~6 years ago. Testing is obviously important and probably even more so in the scientific world, but the article makes it sound like this line of documentation has been in place since the library was first written.

It's much more likely it's just regulatory. Not every country has the same rules on spectrum usage and may require additional certification before allowing Google to use the Wi-Gig band. The FCC raised the power max for them when they approved the chip back in January. They're probably running into issues getting similar allowances in other countries (or not bothering to because of the small market).

Just because it comes from within doesn't mean it's realistic to control it. People feel shame for complicated reasons, and to stop feeling shame about something would likely change parts of someone's personality. Maybe he or she thinks that only special people should see them nude? You can't just will that away. Plus, the perpetrator might be satisfied in knowing something like "now all her friends will know what a slut she is" or whatever those people tell themselves.
If we weren’t talking about a game, I would agree with you. It’s frustrating not knowing what you can do with what. But I like NetHack‘s verb-first approach. If you had a noun-first approach then it would basically list every single action for every object anyway, because it makes sense. Yes, you can eat a cream pie or wield it as a weapon or throw it at an enemy. You can use a towel to wipe your face or wear it as a blindfold or wield it as a weapon.

The big drawback of noun-first is that it makes the player feel less creative because there’s no discovery: every object lists what it can do on the label. That’s no fun!

It originates from sexually transmitted infections. When the catholic church heavily encouraged abstinence suddenly people stopped dying from STI's as much. A combination of the church's influence on Western culture during that time period and all opposition dying out led to its ubiquity and it has stuck around as part of traditional moral values. The more Western culture has taken over the rest of the world, the more it's spread.

"Commercial" is not the antonym of free software/open source. "Proprietary" is.

You can (and many companies do) make money with (i.e. commercialize) open source software.
It would be great if the article could recommend some convenient packages for solving such problems. I’ve had some luck with the GNU linear programming kit, GLPK, myself.

Definitely not as fully fleshed out but we made some choices on the serialization/pub-sub side that allowed for more efficient binary message-passing and solved some of the slow-subscriber problems for high-frequency data.
"But you cannot cry and moan if you give away the soup for free to someone and then find that they are reselling that to someone else for money."

Actually I think charities get really pissed off when you try do this? Isn't this why the individual packets of stuff often say 'not for resale' or whatever?
It sounds like a service mesh, it can even be ran as a sidecar like linkerd or istio. However it seems to do more, like pub/sub events.
A land value tax, where you pay for the value of the land. Society builds a new subway stations near you, and land increases 20%, you pay 20% more tax. Society puts a power plant on your doorstep, land drops 40%, and you pay 40% less tax.

What you do with that land is irrelevent - you pay the same whether you have a small house on a 15 story building on it.
That always astounded me: Neutrinos hardly interact at all, but as I understand supernovas it is the neutrinos that cause all the outer layers of the star to blow off at high speed. Supposedly some of the elements heavier than iron get formed by fusion during that explosion. That's a lot of energy transferred to a lot of mass just from neutrinos. So, that's a LOT of neutrinos.

The actual source of the neutrinos is what, something about making a neutron star out of the iron core of the star? Would that be too many neutrinos for just the iron core?
The problem with applying this to some roguelikes, such as Nethack, is that part of the fun is finding out what you can do. Getting a handy contextual menu when you find a sink, or an alter, or whatever makes the game easier and less confusing, but also takes away a wonderful aspect of it when you learn or hear about some new crazy aspect of it.

That's not to say it doesn't have a place in roguelikes, just that each game needs to carefully consider what it brings to the table, and also what it cuts out.
With computers you can automate oppression.
Gee, because string concatenation is crazy. Who would ever want to concatenate a string?

The data type of characters defaults to 8 bit octets, or bytes. You may have heard of them.

There's this thing called "unicode" which sounds exotic, but believe it or not, that's how emojis work, and I know you like emojis. Don't you?

When it comes to SQL databases, fixed length "char()" columns usually truncate overruns, and fill underruns with white space characters, unless alternative rules are specified. A "varchar()" field will gracefully tolerate concatenations up to it's limit, then truncate.

In C, we know that byte arrays often leave random data in uninitialized cells, so an underrun that isn't NULL terminated might acquire adjacent trash that had been previously allocated by something else, or in other cases display incidental thermal noise from the RAM chip.

Long story short, char + char has default type dispositions that are not mysterious.
Don't you think people are naturally more private about sex though?

I would be curious how people behaved wrt sex before the modern repressive religions came along.
Well, the Slade is a fine art school - so animation is sort of the 'bad end', where you give up on being a 'real artist' and get a job. But yeah, definitely a lot of the animation/cgi stuff tends to lean a lot heavier on the classic sculpture/draughtsman skillset. That's actually one of the things I really enjoy about it.

I think the arts are in a weird situation because they're sort of like an ascended craft. Basically, when the bread-and-butter of portraiture died, art had enough social clout to be able to survive without it, doing just art, without any particular service attached. That rapidly unpinned art from any particular set of skills - so now you get artists who do dance, or cut holes in buildings, or send postcards.

So while some of the traditional craft side of art has value to other industries, it's not really that important to what art has become.
That too, but there are clear security benefits to the walled garden.
The Wikipedia article doesn't agree with your assertion that this is "more than the majority consensus in the field", and presents lots of evidence against the hypothesis.

I'm curious if there's new physics underway that may make neutrino interactions at a large scale feasible. Experiments that I know usually detect one to five neutrinos a year and I'm wondering if we could ever come up with method that can capture orders of magnitude more than that

When the US surveyed (PLSS) its lands for the express purpose of selling it to citizens and immigrants, they didn't even bother to survey most wetlands, because they were thought to be entirely worthless and of no value. Certainly not anything worth saving or preserving.

It sounds a lot like the attitude people currently have for the existing environment on Mars.
Apropos to the Noam Chomsky 'Manufacturing Consent' thread, the USG and Corporate Media have enshrined the false narrative that this was an Iranian attack. While Iran is supporting the Yemenis, independent military analysts agree that Yemen had the capabilities to carry out the attack, and it came from Yemen. Furthermore, no real evidence has been provided to tie Iran to the attack.

Also carefully glossed over is that the Saudis started a war of aggression against Yemen, one of the poorest countries on earth, fully supported by US arms and military. The claims of Iranian support for Yemen are dwarfed by the overt support of Saudi Arabia by the USG.
dude, what? That's pretty bad... Nice way to "recover" old accounts on various sites, I guess, eh? Jeez...
It looks like open source in the traditional sense is on the wane. Powerful forces demand license stipulations that conflict with open source licensing. The social justice crowd doesn't want their software used by ICE, and big companies don't want their code releases to undermine their business model. In the future, hackers sympathetic to Extinction Rebellion may want to deny access to their software to organizations who contributed to global-warming denialism.

Eventually the OSI leadership will resign; they may be pressured to do so very soon. There are too many powerful interests for whom the OSD as it is poses significant problems.

MongoDB is not open source software anymore. The article even mentions it so: "The SSPL is not an open source license and it never will be."
This sensationalist headline is completely out of line for HN and the content of the “article” is lacking.

We get it, you don’t like the big tech company.
Kind of but not exactly. Money is the lifeblood that the corporation needs to survive; earning money is the goal in the sense that the purpose of human life is "eat food."

The fact that the corporation is still basically privately owned though publicly traded (in the sense that the founders retain a controlling stock percentage) means that they can use the money as a means to whatever ends the founders wind up the company and point it at. They know the game is over if they run out of money, but that doesn't mean the game they're playing is "Build maximum monetary value for shareholders" any more than the game you or I are playing daily is "What will I have for dinner." They have enough controlling interest to vote that that's not what the company's primary goal is, in practice.

Now, why would anyone who isn't them play that game by buying GOOG/L stock? Because in spite of the company's goal not being "maximize revenue," it's very good at generating both revenue and product people care about, and the people trading its stock are excited about that. They get a piece of the action, even if they don't actually call the shots.
I would guess because those products weren't profitable on their own. They were propped up by Google's massive advertising business.

Open Source is about licenses - Saas is making licenses obsolete.

I think the story is more about universal cloud providers dominating specialized Library as a Service providers (AWS dominating MongoDB) - the fact that the smaller providers publish their software as OpenSource is not relevant to the story, Amazon could publish their solution as OpenSource and still kill MongoDB.

https://medium.com/hackernoon/aws-and-mongo-and-open-source-...

It all leads to very big and probably monopolistic cloud providers. To have more competition maybe what we need is mandating Open Source for Saas. We would also have some positive externalities in the form of code. Businesswise this would not be a big deal - exactly because selling the full package (i.e. cloud provided Saas) is dominating selling licenses. There are some technicalities to overcome - like how/where it should be published, what should be published (what is the source? what code is really used in Saas and what is internal code?) and when it should be published (immediately upon going live?).

It can also be justified on the grounds of people should know what they are buying.
Sure, but people generally understand how window shades work, whereas people generally don't understand how the surveillance economy works. That would be a patronizing assumption inside HN, but outside HN it's a reality that I regularly observe.
