I agree that it doesn't seem to have been completely thought through, but I still like the idea, I think.
The intention behind it might be, that doesn't mean that capitalists can't use it as a tool. There's a whole business model in GPLing software and then selling proprietary add-ons (which non-copyright holders can't compete with as they have to offer source) or exceptions to it.
Worth contrasting with other 'Ethos licenses'. There's a really good writeup of 'common' ones here:

The most famous is the JSON Good-Not-Evil one.

I particularly like the term 'crayon license' for licenses drawn up by people without experience in writing licenses.
I like Kotlin, but I also feel it's a huge missed opportunity.

I have used Kotlin quite a bit. In particular, I've been working on a multiplatform project recently which definitely have helped me learn about some of the less developed parts of the language.

Long ago, I used to do a lot of Java and I liked it a lot (having worked at Sun back around 2000 was certainly part of the reason). Kotlin, in my opinion, is a better Java. It does a pretty good job of providing a nice syntax for it, and these benefits are the first things that are explained in beginners tutorials to Kotlin.

But, it doesn't really do anything new. There are so many things it could do to fix long-standing problems with Java, which Jetbrains refuse to implement due to the fact that the implementation will not be natural to the JVM.

An obvious example is generic functions, or multimethods. This was discussed on the forums, but quickly dismissed with one of the main reasons being that it would have to introduce a new dispatch mechanism and so wouldn't be natural on the JVM. This argument has been made to dismiss many suggested features.

Another reason Jetbrains uses dismiss suggestions is that the new feature would make the language more complicated and difficult to learn. The refusal to implement some kind of macro facility falls into this category.

At the same time, this position leads to truly bizarre language behaviour such as the strange behaviour where declaring a function inline changes the semantics of the code.

This insistence that the JVM dictate the features makes even less sense since they also have native as well as JS code generators.

The only unique Kotlin feature that I can think of which is not a result of the JVM is their support for suspending functions, which is used to implement their async framework. The problem here is that it semantics can be really confusing, and can in fact lead to deadlocks if you have a library the needs to be exposed to Java which internally is implemented using suspending functions. If these functions are then called by Kotlin code which itself use suspending functions, you can end up with really strange behaviour.

I haven't seen exactly that here in the US, but I've got some puzzles that aren't just knobs on 4 sides. Quite a few of the pieces are slanted, have 3 sides, sit at an angle, etc. It adds quite a lot of variation without breaking the interlocking nature of the puzzles we are used to.

Edit: I just realized that for kids, those knobs are easy to break off. The puzzle you showed makes more sense for kids.

There are probably several power domains in the chip and therefore several separate power supplies, which avoids the need to manage 15kW in a single spot.

Edit: In the slides shared above [1] (page 16), it says "12x 4kW hot-swappable universal PSUs".

This was not required before? When I got my Oculus Quest a at the end of June I found no other way to log in but create a facebook account. This account is now only used for the Oculus Quest.
Just curious as to where this has ever actually worked out well?
Probably doesn't work for many cooperatives that are often a mix of owners and employees.
I do that too, but a real macro facility would be a lot nicer. There are a lot of things that cannot nicely be implemented using the existing syntax.
At a guess, State or NIAID or NCBI would be permitted to use software with this license - the distinction appears to be that civil government or NGO is allowed, while military or LE is not.

Not, I agree, that this would likely prove enforceable as written, but I think that's what they're going for. And maybe they're trying to elicit a test case? That makes more sense than some of the speculation at hand, I think.
That worked so well with CHAZ/CHOP...

I mean, then the easiest thing for companies to do would be to write "You agree that we can do anything we want with the device" into the EULA. As long as they behave reasonable in the near term and only go crazy after public attention has moved on, they'd probably get few customers to notice.
Globally, air travel is down more than 85% from a year ago
That is a topic in itself - everything the TSA does is pure security theater. There was never any danger from liquids nor any effort to prevent groups of people from coordinating to bring in a larger quantity. There is no explanation why 8oz of milk is dangerous and 8oz of cheese is not, nor why ice continues to be dangerous even though not a liquid, nor any explanation why the bbq sauce on the pulled pork sandwich I’m bringing on is magically not dangerous even though there is more then 100ml of it. I’m convinced it’s more or less a plot to sell $7 sodas in the terminals.

Batteries were dangerous and had to be removed until Apple started making devices without removable batteries then magically they are not dangerous anymore. Next you had to start turning your devices on as-if somehow it was impossible to make something dangerous that didn’t turn on. Security theater.

I used to have to take my belt and shoes off every time I passed through security but because I paid a $120 fee now I’m not dangerous anymore and can walk through security. I get to skip to the head if the line at the security checkpoints and coming back from international flights I get to breeze through the diplomatic lane at JFK (you can too! https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-...) Security theater.

I could go on for a while.
That's exactly what I was talking about

Only kids and millionaires cry when you ask them to do their duty

And that's why the government can't stop asking for taxes to rich people
So the company I work for made the front page of HN last year for a security breach. I won't go into details, but I will say one factor was a particular instance where security was overlooked for many years due to convenience.

In response, the company has now sort of swung the other way: lots of things that have a perfectly valid reason and are reasonably safe have been forbidden or suddenly have needed to be justified in the face of extreme skepticism.

That wasn't a case of a single engineer causing 100x engineers worth of damage, but it was the case where something made hundreds of people's jobs a tiny bit easier for two decades, then caused a massive public loss of face and who knows how much reputational damage.

And I'd be willing to bet that a fair number of HN readers work at a company which has at least one system with similar properties (a bit more convenient, a bit less secure) to the one implicated in our security breach; but failure is a once-a-decade event, and their company isn't nearly that old yet. Would those engineers defend that setup using the argument from this article?
Hours are also not necessarily a good measure of contribution. A good developer can put in 1 hour of work and produce more value than a bad developer in 2, 5, or even 10 hours.
Mondragon would not be allowed to use software under this license.
Any suggestions on what to learn so that I can understand this paper? I would love to be able to fully comprehend this paper.
It's possible to get assurances but you must write them down in the form of legal agreements.

Getting "company assurance at the highest level" is just as good as is the word of the person at the highest level. There are people for whom their word is their bond, but it's not very common.
That's a licensing fee and separate to the discussion about market control. As it stands (although this is starting to change) a developer can sell the game through a variety of different avenues (online, brick and mortar, the xbox store), these avenues may have different prices associated and drive where the consumer makes their purchase.

That is the relevant comparison here, if Epic want to provide Fortnite on iOS they HAVE to use the app store and associated requirements. If they want to provide it on XBox, they pay a licensing cost for the proprietary tech they leverage from Microsoft. But they can choose to sell the game on Amazon if they want.
So what if they'd buy Vive next?
I believe the phrase is "jobsworth", as in "more than my".

The point of the article is that's kind of correct - the cost (risk) of deregulating is concentrated, but the benefit is distributed. There needs to be some way to capture the value-add of removing a rule.

But if you do that the easiest way - turning the global metric of productivity into a target - then managers will asset strip, fire security (ahem, Mozilla), and walk off with a fat bonus (short-term productivity is up!) before people realise what's left is a the empty shell of a company.

And that's why good management is hard.
This is the exception that proves the rule; even with high taxes and low-tax alternatives reasonably close by, enough millionaires continue to choose NYC that it's among the most likely places you'll find one. Same goes for California.
> When the community elects to police itself, if someone volunteers to watch a neighbourhood for a night are they considered law enforcement?

It is 'community enforcement', they volunteered didn't they, it's not by force, by state, or are being paid to do it.
Why Linux’s biggest ever kernel release is no big deal
Part of the genius of the work of RMS- his behavioral issues aside- is the creation out of whole cloth of a legal protocol that is sufficiently precisely defined, sufficiently operationalizable, and sufficiently defensible as to...actually work, to have behavioral impacts in the real world. It is hard to appreciate how incredible an achievement that is.

This license is not that, for all sorts of obvious reasons, which is a shame. Articulating a set of use principles in the extremely broad area the authors have an interest in is not impossible. Not only not impossible, but desirable. Software is leverage, and working to ensure leverage can only be used by the weaker party in any specific context is part of an equity protocol. If such a thing is going to exist, someone has to do the work to define it. One hopes they take a step back and give it another go.
I think we have a very different definition of basic tools.
I worked on user tracking all my life. You can track user activities, interest etc, much better on an app. This data is valuable for in-house use and to sell it to the highest bidder.

It sort of depends on what you mean by "advanced". A civilization that simply had pottery 50K years ago, would be considered "advanced" and a major major breakthrough.

If it did only happen on an island which is today submerged, then probably we will never discover it without major investments to look (which are poor investments since the probability is low).

...and hence, the author's main insight is that low-probability discoveries should be incentivized by prediction markets such that those who believe in the status quo can safely buy their positions - and that anyone who can upend the status quo is richly rewarded.

I think that, conceptually, has merit.
The SaaS paradigm trivially defeats the intent of the GPL, doesn't it?

The problem people have with capitalism isn't that it has failure modes; every economic ideology has those. The problem people have with capitalism is that, in a capitalist society, the failure modes of capitalism are the ones that are the problem, and it's very hard to see how the status quo could be repaired without having to be replaced.

(Which I think is fair. Look at what it took to fix it last time, and how long that hasn't lasted...)

That's definitely true, and as they move away from physical media more scrutiny of what they are doing is required. But as it stands this isn't yet an issue for game consoles
I disagree.

Take oculus Rift as an example. You own a game (on a different platform) which supports VR (including your device). You plug your Rift in, calibrate the sensors/room and start playing the game. You shouldn't even need internet connection.

For support requests, use the serial number, like everywhere else.

Consoles work offline just fine.
Are there particular genres of music you'd like to learn about? There are lots of genres--classical, jazz, rock and roll, R&B, many flavors of "world", and more--each with its own history and evolution and literature, with influences between genres and lots and lots of cross-fertilization. I'd suggest starting with one that's a current favorite and branch out from there.
Other people are saying "ads," but the story is probably more expansive. Mobile apps have better hooks for pulling people back into the app, like popup notifications. Reddit has natural lifecycle points where they can do this: when people respond to your comments or comment on your posts. They could also notify users of events like their yearly Secret Santa. I wouldn't be surprised if their engagement numbers were much better on mobile: since they can draw users back into the app with notifications, they have better ad views, more people buy Reddit Gold, more people comment (which leads to other people having content to read), etc.
Most teenagers already use VPNs to get past network filters used in school WiFis and child filters on their data plans. Plus pornhub operates their own VPN so we know using a VPN to access just one service is something people already do. I think this idea of a mindless consumer is an unhealthy attitude tech people have that leads to so much shitty software. People who don't browse HN can use computers too.
Clipboard data.
The media has a vested interest in fear mongering and uncertainty. It keeps people tuned in to their publications, increasing revenue.
> How does that help anybody?

Maybe it could stimulate reflection? Granted, my hopes are dampened too.

> Passed a certain age and work experience you start to notice that the bureaucracy that stops you from [...] doing serious damage to the company.

If you get even older, people might even stop you from running around without supervision to stop you from doing damage to yourself. Doesn't mean it should always be the case.

There will hopefully always be forces the evaluate practices. Bureaucracy can be good and it can be bad. It behaves just like french fries.

But I think the general trend that large corps seem to get a bit slow on innovation holds true. Doesn't mean it is not working well with lots of accomplishments.

> but getting to the reason might require un-peeling a few org layers to since the people enforcing the policy will not be the people who wrote the policy.

The issue is that all the policy documents often only contain the One True Way to achieve their goals, while the goals remain unstated. The documents should always come with a rationale. And appending "exceptions may be granted for equivalent or better processes" to requirements would also help. I was faced with a password "security policy" that pretty much only whitelisted SHA2 + salting for password hashing. We were using a time-hard (not memory-hard though) password hashing function instead and several levels of auditors were effectively asking us to downgrade to comply with their policy without even understanding the difference.

It's terribly demotivating to have to argue with people enforcing policy they do not understand and erodes any willingness to engage with those policies instead of seeing them as theater and working around them.
You could make that argument about any incentive system. That does not negate the utility of incentives - it simply requires that they are structured correctly to vet evidence.

Resume Builder Bot
Give a human kid a piece of paper and an envelope and say "make it fit" and roughly 1 out of 5 will fail because they have not yet had the opportunity to watch their parents fold a letter.

For your example, I see an upfront memorization component, which is that your request only works with humans that have previously seen how tea is made. That would be an unsuperwised AI which watches a youtube tutorial and then reduces the task to "get hot water + get tea bag + get container + combine"

Please note how by cultural memorization is again implicitly added. I might use a trash can as the container, but due to our shared culture we'll agree that a mug works best. So this gets reduced with more unsupervised AI to resolve "container" to a list of tolerable objects.

Next comes an exploration phase where human and robot just randomly open cupboards to see what is inside. YOLO should be good enough to recognize the water cooker, the tea bags, and the mug.

Next up comes again memorization. Kids cannot reliably turn on a machine that they have not seen before, so intelligence is probably of little use. Instead, they learn by imitating. An AI would probably again crawl random YouTube videos, check that the cooker looks similarly, then try to imitate that.

I hope I have illustrated that a lot of what we think of as understanding is not much more than repeating a similar situation which we have previously experienced.

That would also be my theory as to why meditating and thinking about an action can actually improve our skill at doing it. We're memorizing a fantasy simulation.
> No. The Laws of Football and the Laws of Australia are imaginary in the sense you mean, but the Law of Gravity isn't.

I'm not a scientist but should the law of gravity not be seen as a human understanding of what gravity is rather than the handed down from God definition of gravity?

I get the point you're making though.
> When the community elects to police itself, if someone volunteers to watch a neighbourhood for a night are they considered law enforcement? If not, why?

The difference would be that they would be chosen from the community by the community, not external to it and chosen by external actors.

> "we don't need laws"

This confounds laws with law enforcement. The concepts you're missing are consent and cooperation.

Discussion about problems in product development
Hi everyone, I am Stephania – currently in the YC online start-up school and I am working on the customer discovery of my start-up project - Trying to solve the main pain points of collaboration and performance experienced by remote product development teams and I am looking to discuss or hear from digital product managers, developers or designers (Please comment below and share your main frustrations and blockers in this area) and I would also be very grateful if the relevant people could reply this short Product development survey please. Link here -> https://qosmic.typeform.com/to/pXJpWwAt

Thank you for your valuable time and help.

All the best.

Heel first. Interesting idea :)
As I understand it, the difference is that law enforcement exists to maintain a state's authority and control of its monopoly on violence, whereas community policing claims no such authority or interest.

Funny, they make me not read reddit on mobile with their insistence on using the app.

But the real reason is tracking and spamming you with notifications to get "engagement".
“We know that Redditors are so privacy-conscious,” says Victoria Taylor, director of Communications at Reddit, referring to the site’s community of registered users. So privacy-conscious, indeed. A number of sub-Reddits, which are user-made discussion and link-sharing forums, are devoted to the practice of online privacy tactics, education, and information. A noble Redditor respects “Reddiquette,” refusing to reveal the personal information of a fellow Redditor.

Don't guess if you don't know anything about any real life co-ops. Not trying to be mean, but co-ops with equal share ownership do exists - so your post is close to make believe.
Thinking about car painting robots it's clearly about cost.

You can program a car painting robot in some hours. This will be way cheaper than a robot that is aware of the car and knows how it should move to perform the best paint job.

Another example is your washing machine. It would be nice to have a washing robot that would sort your clothes and wash them. But it is way cheaper to sort clothes yourself. So a cloth sorting problem might be an open problem but is indeed a nice-to-have.
Learned a new (British?) word today, thanks!
Sure, that's fine - my point is that a blanket "you can't be law enforcement" doesn't make this distinction. If you want to include something like that in your license, you need to be a lot more clear about what "law enforcement" entails. Right now it makes no mention of whether it's speaking about professional law enforcement, state-operated law enforcement, or anything like that.
Thanks for that! I forgot to add a link.
I think in countries within the relevant WTO treaty even as a small business your mark can theoretically recieve a "well known" status and similar protection as if it were registered.

But no idea how well this works, and in practise I reckon you'd still want to register trough the Madrid system for the regions you plan to do business in directly
