The SSPL is very clearly out of compliance with section 9 of the OSD which states "The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open-source software." This condition is there because such requirements make it very difficult for companies with a lot of other infrastructure to to adopt the software. This isn't exactly a new thing either, it was known to be a problem decades ago when the OSD was written. I don't even know why this is disputed, the admitted goal of the SSPL is to make it difficult for Amazon to adopt the software.

>I am sure the companies trying to do this like MongoDB would happily cover expenses if it meant resolving this.

I said this before, but if you believe that's true then you should contact them. The last statement I saw from them, they gave up and pulled out of the license review process [0] and were instead seeking to conduct conversations outside the OSI.

>I have no idea how you think discussing this equates to me “putting political pressure on you”.

This is my response any time someone tries to convince me to criticize (or praise) an organization in a space where no representatives of the organization are present and none of them can hear our concerns or act on them in any meaningful way. The only meaningful action that could ever occur as a result of the conversation is that one of the participants could "switch sides". But as we know from any political discussions, it's unlikely for someone to change their views solely as a result of an off-hand conversation. If I'm reading this wrong and there is something else here other than that, please tell me. FWIW, I don't really have a "side" to be on in this matter anyway. I just try to stick to the facts.

And how healthy are their immune systems? I imagine they are eating a lot of sugary foods, drinking more than usual and staying up later in a time zone they are not acclimated for.
It's good to see UX design problems analyzed from a technical perspective. Designers working on the web should be proficient at understanding the medium on which they work, and look beyond generating static images to toss over the wall for implementation.
Italy has managed to do an order of magnitude more tests than the US, which may be part of the reason there are so many cases recorded there.

A number of non-political positions haven't been filled in teams that should have been handling the response in the US:

I'm reading rumours that it was potentially engineered to act on that population, especially because the Chinese population is rapidly ageing. I wonder how does it compare to the SARS epidemic, I know that the regular flu is dangerous to old and children.
Well in Georgia we have had a few reports from the prison system about what they confiscate from prisoners. [0]. Look at what they are finding just among the prisoners so imagine how much easier it is to smuggle into the staff areas anything you want. Nearly two thousand cell phones, four times that number in make shift weapons, and of course drugs.

Cell phones are a particular problem because it has been shown that some in prison continue to engage in criminal activities with those outside including witness intimidation or worse.

Not +1, but +2 is possible.
Possibly because PragerU isn't actually good at this sort of thing.

It's not like we should assume they understand law or how to hire lawyers who do. It turns out there's no law against attaching "University" as a title to your organization without any kind of vetting, bona fides, or accreditation.
This article is pretty off the mark. Yes, eliminating food waste will not solve the climate problem. However, eliminating food waste will absolutely help the climate problem as well as reduce needed landfill space, and provide valuable compost.

There is very little downside to encouraging people to waste less food and to divert food waste from the trash into compost. Many people already have compost programs in their city, so it is trivial for them to stop throwing food in the trash. Food waste in landfills breaks down super slowly and releases methane into the atmosphere. This is not good. It's much better to use the food waste to make compost or to use an anaerobic digester and make carbon negative methane.
There are some problems that just aren't amenable to the startup approach. The Manhattan Project wasn't three guys in a garage living on ramen noodles for a year. Neither was the Apollo program. Some problems just require huge amounts of people, money and time to crack -- and even then, as you correctly note, there's no guarantee you'll actually be the one to crack them. (Ask the Germans who worked on their A-bomb project, or the Russians who worked on their moon shot.)

The problem is that, when you're a VC, the only model you have to apply to problems is the startup model. And when all you have is a hammer, etc.
Don't rely on CDC. Don't rely on external parties. You are responsible for your health not your government.

If you're in a high risk category (old, history of chronic cough, cardiovascular issues, etc) then you should consider self isolating even at the cost of your job if WFH is not an option.

As China and Korea have demonstrated, this quickly becomes a problem much larger than the authorities are resourced to handle. At that point your health is in your hands and your hands only.
While I could Google this, I often prefer asking people I 'know' even as tangentially as via HN comments: any suggestions for resources about this? I'd like to exercise more, and I have an entire room available, but I'm not sure where to start. I have the one-handed weight thingies, for one, but a pull-up bar is not an option. I heard one of those ball thingies with a handle is useful?
Flying into LAX from Asia last week, I had expected to spend a few hours at the airport before officially entering, but alas, it was worryingly expedient only being asked “did I travel to China in the last weeks?”

Yes. Free speech is just as much about your right to keep your mouth shut as it is the right to open it.
Not only that, but you also made a profit of zero billion dollars!!! ;) Thanks for such a valuable public service.

I had the same guess... migrating from aws to azure & hitting some bumps. Have to assume they won't be very forthcoming about it if that is the reason.
As an individual, I don't have to let PragerU say whatever they want on my property. If I and some other people who also individually have that right pool resources and create a company, why should that company then lack the right to govern who can use our property? Why should we lose our freedom of association (you know, something actually protected under 1A)?
Both coronavirus and climate change present potentially seismic shifts, if not existential threats, to human society. Are you really incapable of understanding how technology is relevant and intertwined to human society?
Is there an article to this article? I just see a 3 sentence blurb and an unrelated video.
And you forgot the last thing: Europeans would never put the money in.

The Coronavirus isn't new. Since mid-January we knew this will be serious. Nothing has been done since to prepare.

Maybe Europeans can't build a field hospital in ten days, but we haven't even tried to start building anything in 40 days.

We wait until it hits our shores, as is now the case and then throw our hands up in the air.
> What is the actual calculation?

Not answering this directly, but the paper Meaningful Availability [0] released recently really changed my opinion on how to calculate and visualize availability. There's a discussion on HN as well [1].

That thing is called a test bench.
In addition to this, one reason the JS tools of today are relatively slow is because they all need to parse the code. Babel parses it to compile it, then ESLint parses it again to lint it, then Webpack/Rollup/Parcel parses it again to bundle it. A single tool that reuses the same AST representation for all three tasks has the ability to become a lot faster.
What made you choose Hasura over Postgraphile? RBAC is a postgres feature, not sure if that would affect the decision?
I was unclear: I meant that the restauranteurs would become frustrated if they had to search over multiple apps to find one with an available driver.
A second mirror doesn't really help - when github goes down, the code should still be available locally on your computer. The things that become truly available when github dies are all the non-git features: issues, PRs, etc...

There are several ways to work around this, but none are really satisfying.
I'd add that the FDA observed that market forces bring prices down basically in a very straight-forward linear way: https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/center-drug-evaluation-and-res...

We also know that as Google Fiber entered any city the incumbent ISP immediately decreased its price.

Natural monopoly is a strange concept. Its formal definition by Baumol: "[a]n industry in which multi-firm production is more costly than production by a monopoly". ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_monopoly#/media/File:N... )

It sounds like it's almost true in every case where you are forced to duplicate components/processes/efforts/structures, plus even with diminishing returns economies of scale helps the big companies.

Of course why the big incumbents get complacent/inefficient, why they turn to regulatory capture instead of R&D, is a different question.

From the thread:

> although if you really want to live the Real Life, you might want to consider... m.2 CANBUS!

> Have you ever wanted to interface with the network running your car from an m.2 slot? if so, go to jail. but not before buying this!

CAN bus is used everywhere in industrial and embedded systems, not just cars. Lots of PLCs, servo cards, networked sensors use it, you need low latency to get the task done, and you usually prefer a small-form-factor fanless DIN-rail mount PC in a control cabinet, so full-size PCIe cards or USB adapters are no-go. M.2 it is! Likewise with the industrial USB-C and waterproof HDMI down thread; positive locking connectors don't usually go with modern touchscreens.

I think you'd see a lot of these connectors and adapters if you worked maintenance in (or just got a tour through) a local manufacturing facility.
Yes, I agree with what you wrote. Still, the situation is non-trivial. I do hope OP and his friend find a better outcome for the friend (if the friend so likes).
This is the standard response when people find out they are wrong.

It is somewhat ironic too, because the actual violation of freedom of speech occurs when a person or company is forced, by the government, to publish someone else’s content that they may not agree with.

If you write a letter to the New York Times and they don’t publish it that’s not a violation of freedom of speech. If the government forces them to, it is.
Now, that's a good "business" :-). I imagined that this is the same situation as the other mints in the other countries.
Computer scientists' new tool fools hackers into sharing keys for cybersecurity
Current capacity is 500 tests a day from what I've read. That seems awfully low to me, other countries are testing thousands with a much lower population.

We need to get these tests rolling out in larger numbers ASAP.
Yeah. I use a Raspberry 2 for my mail server, but I use an SSD in a USB enclosure for mail spool. It's also faster, but above all, it's more robust than SD cards.
How fast or slow does the virus evolve towards lower mortality? If you get infected months later, is it still essentially the same virus, or a less aggressive strain?
Is this some kind of coffeehouse slam poetry?

I really don't get the purpose of this post.

Is it a comentary against capitalism or espresso?

Maybe it's a high school students' first essay since getting a thesaurus.

Or could it be written by someone that just discovered coffee and hasn't slept in the last four days?
Does it still have thermal problems?
That's an interesting point. You're right that, for hard tech deals, the non-partners are often the relied upon experts.

To refine this point a bit - I don't think it's a bad idea to spend time with non-partners, but they're not the ones that you want to pitch in the standard sense. If you're trying to win a technical subject matter expert, your approach and dialogue are tailored for that specific conversation.
Or maybe just treat strings and user input as opaque objects and leave it to the libraries to escape them.
Wouldn't it have been something if every domain purchase went towards infrastructure and projects like this one. Even an email provider that provides free mail (and you can pay extra to get more email storage) service for your domain. I wonder if gmail would of ever grown the way it did.
am I the only one who finds the irony of a right wing org wanting the government to force a private company to create a safe space for their content funny?
No, but you really don't want to get both the flu and coronavirus at the same time. And on a community level - if you're not going into the ER because you have swine flu, that's one more bed/ventilator that can be used for a coronavirus patient.

It's also just a good idea. Spanish/Swine Flu (H1N1) is circulating again this year, and if we didn't have coronavirus occupying all the headlines people would be talking about the swine flu epidemic. (In fact, they were, back in November - there were a bunch of articles about how this year would be an unusually bad flu season.)
Please read my description (found somewhere in this discussion). That being said: there are scenarios when being able to save a query into a database or config file, then load and run it is useful. In general I agree though and that’s why one of the enhabcements I want to implement is to create a method based syntax with projecting selected fields to a case class.
There was a PBS show that looked into how wonky forensic science could be.

A common certification at the time was earned by taking an online class and answering multiple choice questions ... and blamo you had a certificate that they found on a lot of resumes. It didn't require much of any actual scientific knowledge.
'Transpiler' adds useful extra information and context though. It's like it's fine to just say 'animal' but it's a bit more useful with more information to say 'cow'.
Its a suckerpunch.. If there is a way in, they will find it. You have to vet everything.

I had a side project compromised through some supplementary php files that came with a javascript library. Luckily, i didn't have any users on it.

Keep everything up to date, including your server software, composer, javascript libraries etc.

Make sure you run a clamav on linux, it will catch any intrusion writing scammy files and rename them.

All passwords unique and made using a password generator. That way, if you are compromised it is only one password not the keys to everything.

Don't keep non-user stuff with predictable uri (like /admin/ /phpmyadmin/ etc.)

One-way backups.. Allow your backup server behind a firewall to login to your site and do hourly backups of all the data.

Disallow access to any files beginning with dot in your webserver configuration. I'm pretty sure nginx does this by default.
In your haste to get everything back up and running again, don't forget to change the database credentials or you'll be back in the same boat again :)
The natural outcome of this line of thought is complete destruction of all online platforms.

Without moderation things quickly become a cesspool. Whether spam, or child porn, or scams, or just extremely toxic behavior that scares off 99% of users the end result is the same.

Moderation of content - some form of censoring - is a feature, not a bug.

Nothing is stopping you from providing your own video platform that doesn't censor content (or at least doesn't censor any legal content). The free market, however, is unlikely to support you in that effort. Advertisers have always refused to sponsor content they find objectionable, and most people won't pay, so that leaves you with rather thin margins for such a service.
They haven't banned it; their channel is the first search result on YouTube for the keyword 'PragerU'.

They've flagged it as restricted content so that advertising isn't attached to it, organizations who specifically ask Google "Don't show me restricted content" (such as schools) can't reach it from the networks they control, and auto-recommendation engines are down-sampled on it. Essentially, PragerU is trying to argue that they should have the right to force YouTube to classify their content into the same bucket as "baby shark" videos.

It's a very silly argument from PragerU's side.
I think what Japan really needs to do is to run a campaign to change the culture. One of the problems is that they put too much confidence in face masks. What they need to do is run a message that if you show any symptoms then stay home and avoid contact altogether.

Most of these masks are just toys and not air tight at all. One experiment you can do with the mask is go outside in cold weather, so that you can see the steam when you breathe. You will notice that when you breathe, most of air is actually escaping through the edges of the mask and around the nose.

Also, there is a culture of not staying home when you're sick. It's normal to continue going to work with a cold / other infection, or school or shop. Sick leave is frowned upon. Just put on a mask and you're all sweet, right? That has to change.
What is the downside?
No, it’s the immune reaction to the inoculation. It means there actually was something to look at in the shot
I think we're trying to avoid a situation where OP's advice to his colleague will be bad because OP has little experience with the myriad of things that need to be considered when dealing with job switching on a visa in the US. In that case, no advice and no coaching would be better.
There's no reason to test if there aren't any confirmed cases. You can't confirm a case unless you test...

And thus, how we find it now is bursting clusters with illnesses that can't be hidden by "flu." By then it's too late.

Seems like the only way to contain it is do blanket nationwide testing every day and quickly contain anyone who tests positive, for like 6 months.
How so? "Watch what they do; not what they say." If your boss says the project is on track but refuses to let anyone take a sick day, you would think there's more to the story too.
Will add it to the list for the future. Unfortunately, there's a required balance here between what makes sense for you and what makes sense for the investor.
Margaret Sanger unapologetically supported eugenics and sterilizing 'inferior' people. Does that make Planned Parenthood a bad idea?
Perhaps a basic question, but what is actually required to test for COVID-19? I've seen mentions of "testing kits", but what's actually in them? For comparison, US medical facilities regularly test for any number of viruses and can essentially turn them around indefinitely. Is this because they know they'll continue to need to test for them, so they are well-stocked in the test kits?
And block access to .env files too!!
There are various ways of clearing inventory, one is to let it sit a long time on the shelves and selling it for more money for those who want the older version, another is to lower the prices and get rid of it ASAP. Both have merit.
As for the „why do we want it to look like sql” - I like the syntax and I think it’s much more readable than any other language used to process data. But that’s just a matter of taste :)
Nice work! Can you describe the process?
The speech comes out of the bodies of the ownership of the company. Companies are just groups of people acting together for financial gain. Why should an individual give up constitutional rights or have to become an agent of the government just because they are acting in coordination with others rather than alone?
I meant in the kernel. Like if I hooked up a fuzzer and just started swinging the pipe size around.
This reminds me of a chapter from Clean Code by Robert C. Martin where he suggests using names from the "solution domain space" ie. CS terminology, because names are succinct and more precise which is preferred over long names that are tied to some specific domain for which the software is being developed for, which might require expertise that is disparate. The author suggests to use terminology from the "problem domain space" when "there is no 'programmer-eese'" name for it.

My team had a discussion about this and some argued that this might alienate programmers who are novices, and might be easier to use "Enlgish" but I think that if the problem space for your software is niche enough then a new team member, or a novice will have to learn terminology either way. In my opinion, programming terminologies are more precise and transferable to other programming jobs and problems in general, so is a more sustainable and relevant way of learning. It might be tough at first, and I agree the attitude of the senior dev would make a huge difference, but as long as the senior dev takes the initial confusion of the novice as a good teaching moment, and explains it patiently and clearly I think it can be more valuable in the long term.
You have to be prepared for the normal. I have friend from MN who lived down south. It took them a long time to get used to the idea that everything shuts down from a cm of snow on the ground - something that would barely keep us at the speed limit (as opposed to the whatever over most people do...). While we do have practice in ice, I expect (without looking up) more people in MN go in the ditch when there is a cm of snow than people in southern states as a result of their paranoid.

In MN though (this applies to many other areas of the world that get a lot of snow/ice/cold) if we shut down that often we would get only have 1-2 weeks of travel between November and April and so it obviously isn't possible to play is safe. So we deal with it by having warm coats, boots, and other infrastructure.
As with dating, you don't get what you want if you sit around at home hoping someone will find you.
Freedom of the press is a legal right recognized in the US, yes.
"Starting in 2015, AMD diligently and proactively briefed the Department of Defense, the Department of Commerce and multiple other agencies within the U.S. Government before entering into the joint ventures. AMD received no objections whatsoever from any agency to the formation of the joint ventures or to the transfer of technology – technology which was of lower performance than other commercially available processors. In fact, prior to the formation of the joint ventures and the transfer of technology, the Department of Commerce notified AMD that the technology proposed was not restricted or otherwise prohibited from being transferred. Given this clear feedback, AMD moved ahead with the joint ventures."

Is this basically a "give us a big fat contract or pay us to not do this" request that the US Government passed on?
