My guess is that imposing a punishment for exercising your right to the source code wouldn't hold up:

"You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License."

Also, once any person has the source code they explicitly have the right to distribute it. So even if the punishment was imposed, it would only apply to the first person (who could then e.g. upload it to GitHub for everyone else). Maybe someone with a written-off Tesla would do that?
That is almost precisely my own intention. There should be a club. Have you heard of one?

I'm not a Twitter user myself, but the character limit is what made Twitter unique. It might be fun to laugh at people who only want to read 140 characters, but we shouldn't assume they aren't going elsewhere to post and read essays. A lot of people use Twitter and reddit/Facebook/HN/ect.
That was the same argument people tried to use for Concorde. I'll believe it when I see it.
I think his argument is pretty valid and on point. Half of Catalonia is basically dragging the other half through a conflict that will end up (if their wishes come to fruition) creating a new state that won't be a member of the EU with all the consequences all that carries, plus all the uncertainties of being a new state. All this while stepping over the current constitution that should protect the half does not want any of this to happen.

The real issue here is not about the identity of the Catalonian people, it's about money. The catalan politicians have instigated nationalism but real issue is money, as in "why we catalans should contribute this much to the other regions of Spain that don't produce as much?"

I'm confused how unconditional requirements would preclude Nim? If anything, this allows you to use your "house style" internally and still interact with libraries who don't. I haven't used Nim, but I imagine that was the intention because that's when I've had to mix styles in other languages. To keep your own code consistent you just need your own linter/formatter, which if you have a strict style you're probably already doing.
> why do people, outside of a territory, control the political status of this territory, going against international law?

Because they are not outside of, they are part of. The rest is a made up fantasy which a bunch of nationalists have used to rile people up, create a "common enemy" and a "them vs us" narrative and gain power for themselves.

This process is absolutely not new and has caused terrible harm throughout history, yet here we are in the 21st Century, seeing Trumps and Brexits and all this bullshit again because we don't fucking learn.

The democratic means for eventual independence are HARD and SLOW because they HAVE to be. You should need a lot more than a loud voice and a molotov cocktail in your hand to push more than half of your presumed co-citizens out of their country against their will.

As I see it, he does object to narrowing the thinking which is imposed by capitalism as the one and sole viable human society operation mode.

That narrowing is induced by neoliberal ideology, as he thinks. I do too, by the way.

He even introduced me to "disimagination" neologism which I greatly admire, and I am not even done with the article.
I recently started running ads for a company I own. I'll keep it vague but, the company is just a SaaS for tracking legislation in a certain interesting way.

Annoyingly, Facebook decided that I was advertising Political content, and therefor requires a whole series of additional verification steps, as well as a disclaimer of the fashion "Payed for By _______" right beneath my ad.

Needless to say, it gives my advertisement a feel which I don't think it should have. It's not a political advertisement. Nor is it about a political, or social issue. Nor does it promote anything - campaign, legislation, or otherwise.

It's an ad, for an app, that provides access to data in a totally unbiased (and unaltered) way.

TLDR; These companies are casting a really wide net in the wake of the election ads scandal. Unfortunately, some people are getting targeted who (IMO) shouldn't be and there's ZERO recourse. No phone number to call, no rep I can explain things to, nothing. I appealed the decision and it was - no joke - instantly denied. If twitter is anything like Facebook, this means I can no longer advertise my app on twitter. Lame.

For your average section manager of an engineering unit, CAD costs are just plain old "resources", just as engineers. As long as these costs are in check, NO ONE would risk their warm and fluffy high paid positions in undertaking such risky initiative. Even proposing one.
Remember, initiative is punishable.
This craeates a culuture of hairless (or grey-haired) high-paid impotents (in a figurative and literal sense) that would do as little as possible to risk their position, including taking initiatives with high rewards (like developing open source CAD tools).

Excessive force maybe? Hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to remove an armed individual who shoplifted from Walmart sounds a bit much. This is the kind of thing you see in movies where the hero gets chewed out in the captain's office because he destroyed a city block just to get a low level baddie.

That being said, I sure hope that Walmart got their shirt and two belts back. Reminds me of the time the Mesa AZ PD sent up a helicopter to locate a suspect in the area who fled a restaurant after breaking in and stealing...a pint of ice cream. They stated at the end of the news article that the ice cream was recovered.

Chiming with my prior experience: My problem with Qt's approach is that their editor is atrocious despite their XML schema for UI layout being excellent.

Qt's XML schema makes sense and very easily translates to the C++ it generates. If one wishes they can write the XML themself using just their knowledge of the Qt Property System, the Layout System, and the very basics of how the XML is laid out. If they want to just use a designer tool, that's fine too however Qt's UI designer makes life very difficult from the perspective of version control and actual usability.

The UI designer doesn't respect any Canonical form of the UI files. This means that each time you save the file it more or less jumbles the entire thing up based on however it decided to hold it in memory. This turns tiny changes (what should be maybe 2-3 lines of XML) into massive ones (100s to 1000s of lines of XML shuffled just enough to shake off any semblance of contiguous history in the VCS). Likewise, it adds arbitrary property data to items that 95/100 times are unintended (setting default geometry sizes based on the sizes of the UI elements in the demo window) or are simply meaningless (storing the default value as a user selected property despite the user requesting to use the default).

It doesn't help that the UI of the designer is finicky as hell (layouts) and adding custom UI components is a hassle via the editor while it is exceedingly easy in the XML.

It's a bunch of small things like that that have resulted in teams I've worked on in the past refusing or at least strongly discouraging the committing of changes made by UI designer into VCS. It's really a shame too since a good UI editor is a boon for development and Qt has a really nice UI library.
Bots are also, generally, echo chambers that are easily detected.

Genuinely impressed by this statement. They seem to have put some real thought into this, and like it or not, they're an advertising company rejecting business for what they see as the greater good. Bravo.
I'm not sure why a blockchain is needed for this. Can't they just have an API where certain posts are "flagged" and hidden in the official UI? If you want to opt-out, you simply use a UI that doesn't hide flagged.
I live in metro Atlanta as well. Look at the actual data instead of cherry picking examples. Housing prices and rent increases have outpaced inflation for years.

Also the city added only about half as many new units last year as it did the year before.

And yes Atlanta is cheaper than other much higher density cities, that's why I said we have the same problem just not on the same scale.
A man once told me that he used to work very many hours, until one day when he came home and met his four year old daughter. The girl startled and ran to the kitchen: “Mummy! The man is here.”
For this to work, they need to start immediately with an incredibly conservative policy, akin to the presumption of innocence in the justice system. An ad should be presumed political unless it can be shown, through a series of positive affirmations with the burden of proof on the ad-maker, that it isn’t. Avoid the slippery slope by saying that some non-political ads will be banned to ensure all political ads are. For unpaid speech regulation this would be an insane standard, but for paid speech it’s a just one.

I'll just note that laws and regulations can get struck down for vagueness. If there's no hard rule about what kind of drones are regulated how, then it becomes more burdensome- or even impossible- to know whether you're complying with the law.
"sample size and base rate issues" are only an argument to the contrary if you know the values - otherwise you are just muddying the issue.
If I understand you correctly, your premises are:

that most people base their identity on their work;
when people stop working, losing their identity, they experience faster cognitive decline.

It's not clear to me what your frame of reference is for the second premise, though. How does having or losing identity maintain or diminish cognitive decline?

EDIT: Two downvotes but no one is providing a source or some educational material to help me understand the science behind the premise. Let's be constructive here and try to educate each other. Thank you!

So only pro-consumerism political ads are allowed now.

So Toyota can buy ads to promote their gas burning cars, but I can't buy ads to encourage people to stop burning up the environment.

Only profit-seekers can buy mindshare.

I think the majority of people on Twitter would be happy if any political conversation simply disappeared.

Good point. Now if only we could ban micro-targetting in general. It's a corrosive force to society in a wide array of scenarios, not just political advertising. (For instance, it's been known to facilitate discrimination in real estate and the job market.)

I remember the first Access version. Wasn't cheap (for my budget at the time) and I got it as a birthday gift. Wasn't my first contact with database (dBase III Plus, anyone?) but came with 5 huge manuals that covered a lot of relational databases, and was where I first heard of normalizations rules.

If it was easy for a teen in the first months with a computer, must be easy nowadays for any non-tech person who doesn't receive enought attention from IT because building a system would cost too much for each sprint/function points/hours.

I don't remember the specific software involved, but there was some fairly important GPL software in the '90s that was used by several defense contractors that had something like that happen.

There was a company that did a lot of development and maintenance on the software, and sold support for it. They strictly followed the GPL, so you could ask for and obtain the source from them. If you redistributed that source, however, they would no longer sell support to you. No one else was providing commercial support for it, so this was a strong enough incentive for those who needed support to refrain from redistributing the source.
Sitting around May Speed Up Cognitive Decline.

Both my Grandfathers retired shortly before seventy. One sat down in his Chair and did not get up. He ignored his health, and passed within 10 years.

The other is highly active in his community and church, still gardens, and travels constantly. He is in his mid 80s with no sign of slowing down. Barring a major health incident, he will live well into his 90s like his mother, and may pass 100.

Not doing anything is bad for your health, both physical and mental. The effects are exacerbated when you are older, but are still prevalent when younger.

Some skills require a working knowledge. Race car driving. Off roading . Driving rescue vehicles etc. these are all skills where simply getting from point A to B is insufficient.

"Economic output?

Influence abroad?

Cultural contributions?

Trade hub?"

Yes, Yes, Obviously, and not as much.

At its height, Sparta was one of the more important military powers among the Greek city states. After the Peloponnesian war, which it won, it was for a time the dominant and most influential of all Greek city states. This dominance and influence is the reason that ancient Greek writers found them important to talk about and consequently is the reason we still talk about about them. The fact that we still debate the legacy of the Spartans speaks to the wide range of their influence.

""You know what? We'll give it a try but even if we do conquer Sparta all we'll get is a bunch of olives, goats, and a whole bunch of whacked-out weirdos with no gold, no navy, and a lot of baggage. So commit but don't 'Commit' and if we lose we'll just wait them out and color in the entire map later when they inevitably collapse." "

Actually, Sparta was quite wealthy if you measure it's wealth in productive farmland land rather than precious metals. We privileged modern westerners don't really recognize the importance of that, but it was quite important for the time.

Also, while the Spartans did not initially have a navy, they had no trouble buying one from the Persians and beat the previously unbeatable Athenian navy with it.

Olives were actually incredible valuable to the ancient Greeks (still are valuable, actually) one of the most important crops and essential to all of their industry. According to myth Athens was given the choice of naming their city after Athena or Poseidon. Athena offered olive trees while Poseidon offered naval power. The Athenians judged that olive trees would be more valuable.
There's some pretty misleading TV ads out there, especially in more purple (contentious) districts. Senate race in Arizona, for example have been brutal, and abstracted by PACs.

From what I recall Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez questioned Zuckerberg, she questioned along the anecdote of:

If I purchase ads on Facebook saying Republicans support the Green New Deal (but they don't), will Facebook take the ads down?

I often see these clean, easily provable anecdotes from those who support some kind of suppression of speech. I worry though: often the truthfulness of real world statements are difficult to determine. Even when truth is easy to determine, there are few arbiters of information that everyone alongside the aisle trust. As a result, no matter how easy or difficult truth is to find, without trust no one will believe the truth even if they hear it clearly.

I find political speech pervasive, and believe that almost everything a person says or does has some political element. Determining the periphery of political speech,as a result, would be inherently political.
It makes sense, the only way to go is either to ban it all and not play in this field or allow it all. The problem is with the politicians demanding censorship which must be aligned to their political leaning so Trump/brexit/scomo/salvini or whatever other right wing politician "will not get elected again".
> I think it's pretty obviously wrong to say that a language is unpopular (for a task) because it isn't good (at that task). Otherwise no one would be using java, javascript, or c++; and lisp and haskell would be a lot better used.

I think you are confusing "languages that are good" with "languages that you think should be good". I will admit that there are a fair number of programmers that are fashion-following zombies, but there are a large number who are not easily led by the crowd. If Lisp and Haskell were better suited for the bulk of real-world programming, they would be better used. (The alternative - that you're one of the enlightened few, and almost everyone else is a mindless sheep - may feel satisfying, but the very degree to which it is satisfying should make you more wary of accepting it as truth.)

> OSes aren't written in lisp because lisp isn't terribly popular, and subset of lisp programmers who are interested in OSes is pretty small--this is a much more interesting factor to look at than subset of OS programmers who are interested in lisp.

OS programmers in particular are not among those easily led by fashion. If Lisp gave them a real advantage, some of them would use it. ("Some" meaning "more than just Lisp Machines way back in the day".)
Ultimately, advertising runs the internet, so it's not at all a trivial thing to denounce advertising.

Not surprising. I took a couple of years out to raise my kids, and I am having a hard time feeling as intelligent and proactive as I did before the break.
If I draw circles around my home at .75km or 1.25km, I get almost entirely other houses, and roads. Lots of roads.

In most of America, a 2.5km round trip gets you almost nowhere useful. It's almost nothing. On an American scale, it's hardly anything at all.

The average American[0] drives more than 59 km per day, so even at the most generous number from the article, that's 4%.

That's the point of the article, the entire point.
