That would be the NC clause of the Creative Commons licenses. This is not free / open source software anymore though because you remove the right of redistributing the work or the derivative for a fee, which is arguably desirable for free software to foster. With such a license, you might prevent business models like the one of Red Hat, which also produce a great quantity of free software. So while they make money with your work, you can benefit from this with the availability of free software they built with this money.

If you pick a copyleft license like the (A)GPL, it's right that you allow people to sell your software, but their customers will be able to require the source code under this license and will be able make it available to the world.

Now there are loopholes like the one the company behind the GRSecurity project exploits.

If anything here is not desirable, you'll probably want to use a more restrictive license than a FLOSS one, but be careful with all the possible side effect (people not wanting to use or contribute to a non-free software, licence incompatibility with libraries and the rest of the ecosystem, etc.

I think "a lot of people" is an over-statement, I don't think an intrinsically broken moral judgement made by a minority of people should be allowed to delegitimize the real issue, and I don't think the OP was talking about anything but the real, legitimate issue.

Privilege is nothing but an acknowledgement that some people have advantages in life that they didn't earn. There is no possible world in which it doesn't exist, and almost by definition its holders can't usually be blamed for holding it. But we can a) take steps as a society to decrease its impact in various ways, and b) see it as a reality-check on social-darwinist or meritocratic thinking.

> Another quality I have noticed in very intelligent people is being unafraid to look stupid.

At school, there was a guy who used to ask questions which made him look stupid, at first. After discussing said questions for a few minutes, it often became apparent that those questions were in fact at the heart of the topic.
Exactly this. The FED and the ECB have been printing money like crazy for years, however this money did not go to the man in the street but to banks and indirectly to other financial institutions. And those don't spend their money in the grocery store but in the stock market.

The classic economical laws are not broken, they are still in full effect and we see their effect in the inflated share prices.
> And I was proved entirely wrong when I started reading The Upanishads, which are part of the Vedic literature.

Their being classified a part of the "Vedic" literature is not borne out by linguistic analysis, even though tradition claims it to be.

They post-date the actual Vedas themselves by centuries. The language used in most of them does not contain nearly as much irregularity as the Vedic language nor its pitch accent system - it's on its way to being a refined liturgical language, not a common man's language as the Vedic language was.

And the subject matter contained in them reflect that of the elites of a far more settled and stratified society (vs the more nomadic tribal culture of the Vedas). They are no more representative of Hinduism than their contemporary folk traditions, just as St. Augustine is no more representative of Catholicism than folk Catholicism where blessings are sought for mundane topics like health and prosperity.

No doubt, both groups of literature are incredible, but to lump them into one is incorrect, even if that is the tradition.
WWDC20 – What's New in Metal and the Apple GPU
Thanks! That's an interesting story about your friend. I've met a few people like that. It reminds me of PG's 'bus ticket theory of genius:' being obsessive may be a necessary ingredient, because it helps with persistence. http://paulgraham.com/genius.html
Beeline is really cool!

But I think your disagreement with Yale is a spat of semantics. (It doesn't help that Yale seems confused about what "phonology" means, as they seem to blur its modern meaning of "linguistics at the scale smaller than words" with the old meaning of "letter sounds" -- perhaps they go too far in "dumbing down" the language for the general public audience). Is it hard to track sentences across linebreaks? Sure. Is that dyslexia? It's also hard to read when you are extremely farsighted or have very low light vision.

It seems clear to me that there's a visual component of reading paragraphs, and then Beeline can help with that.

But that's a bit different from difficulty reading letters and words. Do you have research on how Beeline (or other visual theories) affect single-word or single-line reading?

I understand your frustration, though. The education and medical establishment have trouble with complexity and overlapping phenomena and spectral disorders. We see the same thing nowadays where "autism" has lot nearly all its meaning,
having grown to include anyone with any basket of symptoms, even people with easily identifiable chromosomal disorders. This happens because institutions needs single term to describe their entire educational/research program, because insurance only pays for treatment for certain blessed disorders, and because lay people need a way to communicate with other and share resources.

(BTW, it's confusing that the demo control buttons are so far from the text they affect. It took me a while to realize that the site wasn't broken.)
Hopefully apple will do something about it as they did advertise their new system would be great for machine learning and all, which seem to be moot without many popular numeric libraries that directly or indirectly use fortran. Would be great if clang/llvm suddenly gain a great open source fortran compiler just because apple moves to arm.

EFF Database of Police Agencies and Tech Tools They Use to Spy on Communities
Google search upgrades make it harder for websites to win traffic
As an engineer and military officer that made a career of writing, was active in real estate and silver mining and politics, knowing not a single other thing about him, I assume (and I am, admittedly, erring a little on the side of generosity in my assumptions, but my goal is to aim for "is it plausible?" not "did he definitely?"):

-to change a diaper

-plan an invasion (navy officer)

-butcher a hog

-conn a ship (navy, engineer)

-design a building (engineer)

-write a sonnet (writer)

-balance accounts (numerate)

-build a wall (engineer)

-set a bone

-comfort the dying

-take orders (officer)

-give orders (officer)

-cooperate (officer)

-act alone (probably)

-solve equations (engineer)

-analyze a new problem (engineer)

-pitch manure

-program a computer (engineer)

-cook a tasty meal

-fight efficiently (officer)

-die gallantly (officer)

15 / 21 ain't bad, and the remainder aren't implausible either. A little googling suggests he was born in 1907 in Missouri, so he probably gets butchering a hog and pitching manure. Cooking a tasty meal is a fairly low bar for any functioning human to meet - that's 18/21.

He didn't have kids, so I'm not willing to grant him diaper-changing without a reason to. I can't find any medic training, so I won't give him setting a bone. And I'm not sure anyone knows how to comfort the dying.

18/21 is quite plausible. The remaining three are possible.
Love the idea of teaching kids skills relevant in today's world, instead of just doing projects for the project sake.

Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They're currently between 56-76 years old (roughly 76 million in U.S.). Anything older than that is the “silent generation“ (born 1928 to 1945).

This. For years now everyone has been saying "where is the (consumer price) inflation"? Meanwhile real estate prices are rising fast (in desirable parts of the country) and the stock market has been on an epic bull run. It's obvious that the inflation is in the asset prices.

This is a dangerous trend. The rich (who tend to own those assets) get richer and and the poor (who rent/live paycheck to paycheck) get more and more desperate. If we don't find a way to reduce the inequality, this is going to mean serious trouble down the line.
While it's a draft and very cursory, resources like this are sorely needed and I hope encourages others to post more. Unlike tech, there's few place where you can learn how to build a biotech. It's a black art that most people still learn by doing.

Decades ago, tech was like this and then Paul Graham, Venture Hacks, Fred Wilson, etc. started a movement to democratize startups and VC. It would be wonderful if the same thing happened with biotech.

Well, technically it's an effective means of social distancing, so in a sense it is doing something meaningful to improve the overall situation, even if psychologically it doesn't feel like that at all. Though one could spend the time better and achieve the same result with less anxiety, as you've suggested.
Marketing isn't the only thing that sells chips. OP is talking about actual usefulness. It's not that useful to Linus and what he needs. OP is arguing that it is useful to others, doing different things, and that those use cases sell chips.
My history - Ubuntu, Debian, SuSE, Fedora, Arch, LFS, puppy, void, Qubes, Gentoo, sourcemage, Slackware.

I started when Ubuntu 10.04 was around. A Lubuntu (then, it that unofficial and much more lightweight) derivative called "WattOS" was the only thing I could get to boot on the faulty hardware I had available.

Home laptop? Thats where I experiment on the level of entire distributions. Qubes seems flexible enough, and meets my needs by serving other distros flexibly enough.

The home desktop? Gentoo. The setup time is as intricate as you're willing to make it.

If you want something no single distribution can make out of the box, but still serves a specific need? And you still want a package manager? You've got Arch, Gentoo, and a few other rolling-release options. If you can set it up? You can script and schedule auto-maintenance and alerts when something goes wrong.

Short of downloading RAM and the like? Either Gentoo or Arch makes whatever you want to do entirely possible, and much easier to accomplish.

At work? Depending on the customers' needs, I go for Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS. Its the industry standard for a reason. Unless there's a specific reason to do otherwise.
This exactly. I'm looking for commodity parts, I don't want to preemptively narrow that search.

Also often times you'll find some great component on e.g. Maxim's website, only to find no one distributes it, so it's effectively useless in the immediate sense.

Rolling out a New Activity Back end
Author here. The obfuscated code example was to show what a malware author might do to make malware analysis of a Python "compiled" binary more difficult. The code might be obfuscated & turned into an executable before deployed.

As far as the opencv library goes, used by PoetRAT, you can choose to bundle third party packages inside your executable with all the executable generators I mentioned at the beginning of the article like PyInstaller or Nuitka.
https://coinstop.io/products/billfodl
bitport is awesome, can vouch
When you run PyInstaller, it bundles an interpreter with all the necessary third-party modules, so there's no need to install things. What that cv2 example shows is how with very few lines of codes, an atacker can open the webcam and obtain 10 images (roughly 1/3rd of a second) of camera footage.

However, in all notebooks that have one, that code will make your litle LED indicator right by the webcam turn on, so it's not particularly quiet about it.
Julia does, and supports SIMD.
If they had the motivation, yes. However, why would the have the motivation instead of simply using well-known limited physical currencies, such as cigarettes, gold etc?

I suspect the parent's statement might be accurate if you invested with another currency.

The problem (or uncertainty) is that both the US and Germany left the gold-backed systems during those years and the exchange rate between our currencies changed quite a bit during the 1914-1924 period (which is probably why your parent chose that year).

If you notice your image's description, it is denominated in 3 different currencies, depending on the years you are looking at.

Tips on How to Be Popular in College
AppleSoft BASIC had multi-dimensional arrays back in 1977. It always bugged me that modern languages didn't support this neatly.
I drove for uber BRIEFLY (horrible company for other reasons).

This whole it costs 60 cents per mile to drive a car in the US is total garbage. Seriously, these are rich folks driving new mercedes I think. Folks driving for shipt are not driving late model mercedes.

1) A car get's old sitting in your driveway, if you have an unused asset and put it to use your variable depreciation is actually lower.

2) You should be able to get a car cost (excluding gas) per mile down to 10-25 cents.

3) Fuel is $2.2/gallon. Assuming 30mpg (no prius etc) that is 220 cents / 30 miles = 7 cents per mile.

4) You get a tax break as a result as well.

5) You need to reduce business net costs by costs you'd incur just in general for car ownership (ie, you might still need plates, registration etc).

For folks doing 50,000 miles per year, 60 cents per mile less 7 cents per mile for gas is 53 cents a mile to own the car. On a new car with a 3 year life that is $80k for a new car every 3 years? Let's say $20K repairs and overhead still is a $60K car.
Chips in hardware is like programming languages and libraries in software, chips make the world turn around.

Does your hardware need power? It needs power controller and converter chips, such as a MOSFET driver, a DC-DC converter, a charge pump, a linear regulator, a voltage monitor, or a power multiplexer (if it has multiple power sources). Does it have a battery? It needs a battery charging controller, or a battery gauge. Does it need to communicate via a data interface or a cable? It needs interfacing chips, such as I2C chip, SPI chip, IIO chip, RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 chips, CANbus chipss, LVDS chips, voltage level translation chips, and I/O extending chips. Does it have USB? It may need a USB multiplexer chips to switch between different signal sources (for example, USB Type-C can be an audio port or a data port), or a USB charging controller chip. Does it need wireless communication? It needs RF front-end chips, RF amplifier chips, RF frequency synthesizers, and SoCs for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc. Does it need data acquisition capabilities? It needs ADC chips, DAC chips, amplifier chips, and signal conditioning chips. Does it need NFC/RFID? It needs NFC and RFID chips. Does it have a screen or a LED light, like a screen backlight or a flashlight? It needs LED controller chips and power chips. Does it need any kind of software control? It needs a microcontroller. The list goes on.

And Maxim's products cover almost all of these applications.

So does Analog Devices' products, but with an emphasize on high-precision, high-performance components.

Grammarly is a fairly good resource.
Also especially for audio stuff it's not like all op amps have to be high spec. At the edge (input/output) components matter much more than inside the circuit, where levels and impedances can be designed in. A low-noise BiFET op amp makes a ton of sense for pre-amp, but as a generic buffer or whatever amplifier between stages, not so much. Even in 2020 a NE5532 is a fine choice in those places.

Not saying there aren't big problems with Bitcoin, but I think that's it something more than an expensive fantasy. I recently bought a service with Bitcoin for a 10% discount, which seems to suggest it helps that company process payments with lower cost. The engima with cryptocurrencies is that the zealots seem to significantly overvaul it while some outsiders seem to undervalue it.

And I think that's what the point of this article is: that Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies can be useful without replacing the USD.

One of the things that makes Bitcoin so interesting is that you don't actually need that much sophistication to keep it going. In theory you should be able to run all of Bitcoin on a bunch of raspi's connected to HAM radio towers. As long as you can get blocks around the world, those raspi's should be enough to keep it running.
I have a few text based games which I write in JS so they can be played on the web. I use an off-the-shelf story format (Ink, though Twine is a popular competitor) and otherwise write the engine myself.

I've started using Unity for some 2d games (and faux isometric ones) and it's a bit of a blackbox but not as much of one as I thought it would be. Still not a fan of their licensing on the asset store though you can publish packages to git and itch.io without EULA nonsense.
This seemed to be more about how to compile/decompile and obfuscate Python code then anything about malware. The two examples were the ability to take screenshots and make web requests were the only two actual potential malware related topics, but even those are fairly basic concepts that have a huge range of applications outside malware. These things are also fairly trivial in most even slightly mature languages.

The section on eval was a little more interesting but still nothing special.

Personally, and this is just my probably uninformed opinion, the biggest thing about Python that makes it useful for malware is its huge, mostly uncurated repository of libraries and addons that are easy to install and use without ever looking at it. This aspect of Python seems likely the most appealing for would be malware writers. The ease of making malicious code widely available without a lot of scrutiny.
