The choice of GPL doesn't seem to be hurting the Linux Kernel. I doubt it'll hurt a package manager either. Plenty of Debian infrastructure software is also GPLv3.

At any rate, the choice to go "have a pure base" is the right one IMO: it's nice to have a system where I know I have the right to use/modify/distribute changes to the entire thing. It's easier to start with that pure base and add impurities if you need them (eg if your hardware requires blobs to operate it) than the reverse.

That said I think it would be helpful if there was a place to direct users who need to figure out how to install such blobs, even though I agree that the official mailing lists and project repository should not be it. (I am running a blobbed kernel on my current machine because I have to, but I previously was able to run with the linux-libre kernel Guix ships with. It's definitely possible to do if you need to, just not well documented.)

Yes it's GPLv3, and yes it doesn't package proprietary software. (Would you expect anything else from GNU? :)

There are a few unofficial channels that do package proprietary software for Guix, though they're of course not advertised on the official Guix site, etc.

The challenge is detecting neutrinos is very hard. The image in the article required a 500d exposure.
I think dilandau is asking if anyone is using Guix.
Have you ever been on the receiving end of a sales person's drip campaign?
Article says the image is from a 503 day exposure--it doesn't say how, if at all, the nighttime data is decoupled from the daytime data. Perhaps it is something like "technically 0.0001% of this image might be from nighttime readings".

> It almost implies state licenses exceed state lines to an almost federal level which seems pretty counterintuitive to me.

I think it's closer to stating that a license to $ACTIVITY/$STATUS in one state should be recognized by a different state that also licenses that activity or status.

I'm also not a lawyer but I know the law is complicated enough that if you don't have a law degree you can't just "reason" about it until it makes sense, because it rarely does. Having a license to carry a firearm in Indiana allows you to carry that firearm in Indiana. Illinois would probably agree that that license allows you to carry a firearm in Indiana, and still put you in prison for carrying it on the wrong side of the Illinois-Indiana border. Are there specifics to this argument that would apply to firearms and not marriages?

I could see there being a differentiation in some legalese between an activity (carrying a firearm, hunting, operating an emergency vehicle, etc) and a status (being married, being a felon, etc).
How do we "fix" it? Neural implants to change what we desire?

I could honestly see it both ways, but this argument seems relatively weak to me. The court here isn’t necessarily creating legislation but rather are making the judgment/interpretation that “sex” does include sexual orientation.

You really need a citation for the notion that police in any part of the world are trained to shoot to incapacitate rather than kill. Firearms are deadly weapons. Shots aimed at any part of the body can easily be fatal because there are arteries everywhere.

Sure. Your 'NICs' would be rather expensive[1] and you'd need to minimax bandwidth vs. error correction for the number of detection misses.

I think this is a good ruling both for the outcome and the logic behind it. I would still like to see a more general change in Title VII though: instead of listing categories (sex, race, etc) as if there is a single master list of groups deserving of protection, the rule should be Any factor that is beyond an individual's control AND is not relevant otherwise (not relevant to the job for employment questions). This would prevent this weird need to fit new groups into old categories while also continuing both the spirit of the original law and of freedom in general.

It's not impossible, but it's kind of absurd. Neutrinos are insanely hard to detect. You need immense detectors, and even you get only a ludicrously tiny fraction of the neutrinos passing through. You'd have to modulate it by turning on and off an immense nuclear power plant, so despite shaving off milliseconds of latency you still wouldn't be able to communicate fast.

There's no reason to expect any of that to become more practical any time soon. Neutrinos are too small, too fast, and too devoid of interaction to manipulate easily.

I agree gamblers are also a problem, although I'm not sure it's really a distinct group from speculators. But if you look at the amount of resources spent to in effect lower insurance premiums, I think you'll find it's much larger.

If you're going to replace the terms "whitelist" and "blacklist", why not consider making use of the actual definitions and use something like "include-list" and "exclude-list"?

I'm not even necessarily a fan of that nomenclature, but I'm surprised that's not one of the replacements that are considered (in the Twitter poll in the article for example).
> no farther than the word "eavesdropping.

I looked around to find sources for your etymology of the word. Couldn't find anything.

How to get zero-downtime scaling from single-region to multi-region applications
Worth noting Thomas' dissent is very consistent with his dissent in Texas V Lawrence, where he explicitly says that if he were a texas legislator he would vote to strike down the anti-sodomy laws (as he believes they are bad laws) but he doesn't believe it's the SCOTUS' role to do so.
I use this not infrequently when producing documentation.
But it's one of those things which is most of the time ok, but when it's not it's very dissatisfying, and I don't have a concise term for the (common) source of that dissatisfaction. When it produces a poor layout, you have to either abandon the tool completely for that use case, or you have to use an entirely different tool set to fix the output (like just editing the SVG).

I think this is a bit challenging, because if you're hand-writing the structure describing the diagram, you likely have some preconception of what it should look like, but the language doesn't give you a real mechanism to express that. And because the diagram is meant to be _looked_ at, the author's preconceptions may actually be quite relevant in how effective the diagram is at communicating content to a later reader. This is in contrast to a compiler, where the author may disagree with the specifics of the output, but so long as it _runs_ to produce correct behavior, the author should not complain too much (i.e. the primary "audience" is the platform which will execute the program).

As an example, only this past weekend, I tried to produce a diagram about an HMM-style graphical model, where nodes occur in sequence in a few parallel families. I had hoped that because of the regular structure of the links, the layout would reflect that regularity. But instead, nodes of each type were sort of all over the place, and the regular structure was actually not immediately visible in the diagram.
I personally don't have a problem with renaming master to main or so. These are just terms, and I lived with `master` branches and `main` branch won't bring me any harm, if this actually helps people to feel more comfortable.

What bothers me a lot, that a group of people basically decide for the whole world, cultures and countries how should they feel about things. This clearly was a case with Rubocop renaming, where bunch of developers aggressively attacked Bulgarian maintainer [0] to rename Rubocop library because of the `cop` part. They obviously didn't care, that in many other countries police is actually protecting people and is being respected. And argument of "(in US) the word "cop" has an uncomfortable feeling about it" was enough to outweigh the arguments of maintainer, that renaming would bring a lot of problems and breaking changes.

That image was captured over 503 days of exposure, with a detector the size of a swimming pool. I won’t claim it’s impossible, but I’ll give you fantastic odds against it in the next, say, twenty years.
Because language is a shared good, established by convention. When you unilaterally decide that a word in the language I use (and own, for my part) is tainted, and by chance- because you maintain a piece of software- you have enough power to impose your views, then one of two things happen: either you force me to change my language against my will (which I perceive as an aggression, because I own my language), or I decide to ignore you. But in this case, since I have to wilfully ignore you, by doing so I am implicitly making a statement, which might be (and will be) misinterpreted.

There are some people out there who claim that JSON has a problem because many parsers accept some forms of malformed output. I don’t consider this a problem. All of the json data I have seen is either well-formed, or so broken any parser will reject it.
Yes the justices ask questions around hypotheticals and can ask the attorneys to make arguments based on hypothetical situations the justices present, but they hear only specific cases, not hypothetical ones, and the decisions refer to the specifics of the attorneys' arguments and the case law only.

Different from what? Regular communication? Because the first involves trying to sync up two minds to have the same idea. The latter involves one mind, trying to generate an idea that ends up being useful. Useful in the George Box sense: "All models are wrong, some models are useful."
They aren't re-anything as far as I can read. They concede this to say that sex does not mean gender or sexual orientation, to make the point that then by extension, those two categories are protected from discrimination based on preconceived notions of sex. In the case of someone being gay and fired for this reason, the discrimination lies in the fact that if a gay man was a woman, the employer would not have fired this person based on them being attracted to men. It's an extension, not reinterpretation.

Unfortunately, this article leaves the exact nature of information she was relying on vague/confusing.

> "she was able to receive relevant information beforehand that tells her if the flight was going to be delayed or cancelled. Thereafter, she would purchase the tickets to the flights that are likely to be delayed or cancelled, before checking if there is any extreme weather along the route the flight is going to take that day."

Specifically, I'm not sure what the "before checking for extreme weather along the route" bit is supposed to mean, especially since it seems to imply that she checked for extreme weather after she already purchased the insurance? Something is odd with the grammar here. Furthermore, the quote never specifies what the "relevant information" actually was.

So... does this mean that she received inside information (e.g., from a former coworker) that the flight had been cancelled?

Or does it mean that she was looking at publicly-available information (e.g., weather data) to make the call?

I think the ethics and usefulness of some aspect of this are dependent on the answer to that question, and I'm not sure the article says definitively one way or another.

With that being said, I think the ethical problems with the fake identities seem more clear...

Sen. Josh Hawley readying broadside against big tech’s ad business, legal shield
> Republican Sen. Josh Hawley is preparing legislation that could require major online platforms like Google and Facebook to stop selling certain targeted ads to keep key legal protections, according to an individual familiar with the plan that would strike the heart of industry giants' business.

> The individual told POLITICO the proposal would make industry protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act — a 1996 law that shields online businesses from lawsuits over user content — contingent for some platforms on not allowing advertisers to target users based on behavioral data, which includes information such as web-browsing history and online activity.

> It’s the latest GOP-led plan to target Section 230, which has come under fire from President Donald Trump, his allies and a loose coalition of lawmakers. Trump has called for the legal shield to be “revoked” over GOP allegations that social media companies stifle conservative viewpoints, and last month he asked federal regulators to reinterpret that law to limit its scope.

Josh Hawley readying broadside against big tech’s ad business, legal shield
Germany 2014 was about the best I've seen the game played.

Something I watch that seems to differentiate players and teams at every level is what happens on the first touch when receiving a pass. When you first start watching this, you'll notice that as you move up the ranks, the ball just sticks to a pro's feet, preferably in front of them a couple feet away where they are ready to play it again. Watching Germany that year, their first touch was not merely excellent, but aggressively so. They took the ball and instead of settling it, turned it into a rolling ball in the direction they wanted to play. Or a first touch pass. Speaking in wild generalities here and I don't have numbers to back it up.

Statistically I would guess that their second touch was on average farther away from them than other teams of comparable level, while still being under control.

It reminded me of Tiger Woods when he burst onto the scene. He played the game far more aggressively and relied on his skills to keep him safe rather than traditional shot selection. Germany 2014 decided these slightly riskier touches are consistently possible in the long run and the benefit outweighs the risk.

It also seemed that with the aggressive play, there is just more football played -- more chances. The more chances that are generated, the more it favors the better team.
Good luck generating a 1000 TeV neutrino beam with that flux. Currently, humanity is at 6.5 TeV for protons, which are easily acceleratable because they're charged. Neutrinos have to be produced through a fixed target collision setup which translates only a small fraction of the original energy into neutrinos. So I dare to predict that by the time we can have such a beam we have wiped ourselves out with nuclear bombs.

I don't see what that has to do with anything. Saying that "congress should change the law because the law is vague" isn't a ruling. The Supreme Court has weighed in on far more vague and unclear laws before. It's basically just saying that they don't want to touch the issue.
Novemberwhiskey (above) makes the solid point about entering into the contract in good faith. It is a sound counterpoint and appeals to the more important "spirit of the law" vs "letter of the law". I am not sure how this would stand up to a court ruling.
