It’s interesting to see copyright asserted in order to prevent an image from being politicized.

It provides an interesting intersection between censorship and copyright.

So imagine instead this was a different image used for a different politics: a picture of police beating a protestor in some place and let’s say it would be an iconic image, but the photographer asserts rights in order to not create more chaos and violence....

I recently made a system that uses overlays to provide work spaces for a complex build process. However, there is significant overhead paid for unmounting an deleting the files in the overlay after all the work is done. I was thinking about changing the system such that I allocate a partition ahead of time, write all the overlays there, and on success just blow away the partition and with it the overlays. This is kind of a pain in the ass. Can anyone suggest a method for rapidly deleting all the data generated by using 100's of overlays? Maybe BtrFS snapshots would be better? What are the pros and cons? Thank you so much and I apologize for "anything" up front :)
I bought WF-1000XM3 a couple of months ago, but as soon as AirPods Pro came out, I decided to give them a try, and never looked back and sold my Sony's. They actually even feel lighter than the original AirPods and are absolutely much comfier than Sony's. I don't have to fiddle with them for a solid minute to get that good fit (that doesn't even approach a "perfect" fit in the end with WF-1000XM3, just "acceptable"), and they don't feel like they are digging deep inside my ear canal to the point where they start hurting after an hour. I like the sound on them more too, but that one is debatable, from what I hear.

Most important point: Apple fixed the keyboard by ditching the flawed keyboard used for the past 3 years and returning to the Magic Keyboard scissor switch design. Comparing the 'new' keyboard to the Magic Keyboard: "side by side, we're hard pressed to spot any differences. Scissor switches, keycaps... There's slightly less space surrounding these new keys, and pundits will celebrate those reconfigured arrow keys—but everything else looks nigh identical."

When you're a bank you get rent from many economic transactions without providing anything of value except being rich to start. And even better, if you're a real bank, then you can create money out of thin air as debt on your balance sheet via fractional reserve banking. There's effectively a universal basic income for banks. What company wouldn't want to get in on that?
Yup. I think people forget that things aren't the way they used to be because we made forward progress. Maybe that means things got more complex. It also means more things became possible and it became possible to not have things happen which you wish didn't.

A) I'm well aware of clasp, and its a cool project (and post javascript, as well) but it's hardly anywhere near production quality right now (unlike say, clojurescript). So I don't think it's a counters my argument about the CL ecosystem (I'm sceptical that it would make much of a dent even if it becomes a technical success beyond Dr Meister's wildest dreams).

D) Of course, but if you require some additional JVM based tooling for a JVM language like clojure, you lose 0% of your potential audience and introduce no additional friction, which is not at all the case for CL (nor would it be for, say C++ or Lua).

While I can't help you with your opinions and beliefs I do understand what you're saying. MongoDB may have done this purely to for marketing. They may also genuinely believe the change still leaves their code being free software. I don't know anyone there.

The change, if there is one, won't be because of you or me. It will happen over a few years time or it won't happen. It will be driven by what people accept and what they don't. A few extremely loud voices may turn the tide in either direction so maybe there's good reason for each side digging in their heels and making noises. Either way, each individual's idea of free software will exist under the names that evolve out of this skirmish. Both businesses and coders will adapt.

This is wrong. If you publish a Linux kernel module, you might be obligated to release the source. Fundamentally, this is how Linux differs from *BSD: Linux is intended to be generally hostile to binary blobs.

But it's not universal. Linus thinks nVidia's module may be exempt from the GPL's 'virality' because it wasn't originally written specifically for the Linux kernel.

Thin air? What are all the employees doing then?
But why does it matter if I can tell you how to colour it,* isn't it sufficient to show that we can't construct one that can't be coloured in at most four, as I tried to outline above? Surely it must then be that any exercise is either 4-colourable, or non-planar/otherwise out of scope of the problem?

* It's easy starting from the end, just put one colour in the middle, then alternate second/third colours around the edge until you get back to the start and have to add a fourth. From construction, the worst case is from K1,2 then adding another for K1,3 at which point we need four colours already, but when we add two more on what will be the C5# around they each only connect to one each side and the center. In adding each one you can simply use the colour one hop over on the circumference.

# Since the center of K1,3 must be the center of the final C5-plus-thing, as it already had 3 spokes.

I'm with you. You're contributing a thought piece and unobtrusively include a link to your bank at the bottom. It's not overtly biased, and it's neat you're getting attention for your banking app by, instead of describing it, simply saying you're doing something "interesting."

This is right.

But tax avoidance has also been dramatically reduced. If you want to avoid tax, pretty much the only way to do it is to either move to one of these places or find someone at a bank who will move your money for you illegally (this is pretty hard to do because the upside is often quite limited relative to the huge downside).

So money is definitely moving back within home countries, and that is far easier to control.

One point you missed is the importance of US financial control over institutions. The other plank of FATCA was the threat that the US would essentially block a bank/country out of the global financial system if they failed to cooperate. This kind of extra-territorial monitoring of the financial sector deeply annoyed everyone but..it was effective, and is a good example of a gain from US leadership of the international community (even Russia informally complies afaik).

> 3) all proceeds go to the project.

This is the spot where I see it becoming a sticking point. What is "the project"? For it to be an independent entity, you need to incorporate, which, at the very least, costs money, and is therefore a huge barrier to taking this route for a small project. And it's almost by definition a small project if it's in a position to be making this decision. And if it's not an independent entity, then "the project" is probably just a euphemism for one person's pocketbook. Maybe with some pinky swearing layered on top. In any case, you've also got an image problem, because a lot of people are going to be skittish about a GPL/commercial model after what happened with MySQL and some of the other open source projects that fell into Oracle's hands.

You could instead set up a legal entity that pools the resources of several projects, and let it be the commercial vendor. That might even, in a parallel universe, have been a plausible funding model for the FSF. But even there it's probably tricky, because you still need to have some way of deciding what to do with the surplus. Having once served on the board of a nonprofit, I can say that that's tricky at the best of times, and it's probably only worse if you're talking some sort of open source foundation, because open source community members tend to get along like cats in a sack.

Long story short: While I never said that something like this was unworkable, I do think that, given how badly it tended to work out when people were trying to figure out how to make it work a couple decades ago, it would seem to be much harder to get right than it initially seems.

The latter; slaked lime will reabsorb the same amount of CO₂ that was released in its calcination, but portland cement absorbs much less.

> forcing foreign financial institutions to tell the US government about any American-owned assets on their books

This is another interesting part. How can the US "force" a sophisticated wealthy sovereign nation that culturally and morally values banking privacy (not only for the profits), like Switzerland?

It cannot be understated how much power, control and ownership the US has of the world financial system. If Switzerland did not comply, they would have been fully cut-off, unable to participate in any finance at all. It happened swiftly (no pun intended [1]), there was no discussion, only power.

Most of the west is mostly aligned with what the US is doing, so it's not a big deal. Every government wants more visibility, control and power over finances. It is akin to how the US military handles matters of physical force on behalf of the rest of the west.

Just a quick note that the US is equally powerful in the financial arena as they are militaristically, if not more so.

[1] SWIFT is one of the systems Switzerland could have been cut off from
