There's generally nothing stopping a copyright holder from ceasing their distribution under an old license, and starting distribution with a new one. However, detaro linked https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/issues/9285 which brings up that this new license probably violates the license terms of it's GPLv3 dependencies.

Additionally, if they've accepted any pull requests without requiring a contributor agreement assigning copyright to them, they might be trying to relicense code they don't have exclusive copyright over - which AFAIK would make removing the MIT license a violation of said MIT license in that context. (They don't need a license to grant themselves the right to do what they want with their own code, but doing what they want with other people's code is another story.)

Additionally, it's not automatically retroactive - if you've got a copy of the old software (trivial via git) you can presumably still hard fork under the original MIT license terms - it contains no privisos for force-updating the license for anyone who has a copy.
Everyone who looked into a palantir in Lord of the Rings got accurate data, but bad information. (That is, the images were real, but the context was misleading.)
Or they could have just bought a copy from a compromised developer. Real world spying happens a lot too.
I appreciate the feedback, it's useful to hear this.

I'd be willing to boost the options pool, but I'm not sure I'd be willing to do so right now for a few reasons.

1.) I don't trust that someone isn't going to come in, get offered a large chunk of equity (lets say it's 10%), and leave after 2 years with 5% of the company. In many ways that would be unfair to a future employee who works with us for a longer period of time and gets dramatically less equity. This could be solved with highly backloaded option grants (I've been thinking about doing this), but I suspect you wouldn't be interested if 8 of the 10% vests over years 5 and 6 or years 5-8 either.

2.) At previous startups I've worked, there are often follow-on grants that mitigate dilution for employees upon fundraising events. As a founder, I definitely won't get such a grant until I'm close to fully vesting. If we take some of the sting out of dilution, then that effectively is growing the option pool over time.

3.) I currently have 50.1% of the company. Had I cofounders, we would together own 50.1% of the company. This is helpful because it allows me to make some decisions without relying on our investor (who's been lovely so far, but still). Later, that will change, but at that point we'll have more infrastructure.

On accounting/books, I don't know if I can do that. I've never seen it done across the org, though I'm happy to show senior management rough projections and our current burn.

Unlimited vacation is an accounting construct. The pain of having to deal with accrued days vacation is not worth the hassle for a small company. When we have better financial infrastructure, maybe we'll revisit.

A lot of this sounds like I need to foster some trust in my potential hires that I'm going to take care of them more than anything else.

Regarding the equity, how would a long or highly backloaded vesting schedule work for people in your shoes?
France is only perceived as "racist" because historically it tried to enforce a very assimilationist model of immigration. Where countries like the US or the UK are perfectly fine with communities living next to each other with their own specificities, in France everyone is French. If you move to France it's not to import your own way of life, it's because you want to adopt the French one.

The model is simply due to how the country was created (a cosmopolitan group of very different cultures that had to find a way to form a unified country), but I don't know how sustainable it is in our modern days.

My point was regarding the following:

- usually the first person to screen or introduce you won't be a developer or perhaps not even technical, so you've put yourself out of the running early on. I can query it, but many who might be in a position to put you forward might not. If you want to do that though then fair enough, that's your choice.

Yeah, there's a lot of other ways they could have gotten it.
It increases your financial stability under the assumption that your life situation evolves in a predictable way. Say you need to cover unforeseen medical expenses, or you develop an allergy to one of the foods you bought in bulk (sorry, that one was a bit contrived), etc. - well, then you'd suddenly wish you'd held off on buying that pallet of canned soup.

On the other hand, if you only buy your food day to day, that is certainly more like JIT logistics, prevents waste & storage space needs, etc., but it screws you if you can't leave your house and the stores get closed due to some... ahem... what might possibly happen that forces you to stay inside.

So it's always a matter of your frame of reference, I guess.

First of all, most of this goes back five years and things have likely changed, but basically MTProto used several non-standard and out of date security mechanisms (no AE and using SHA1 were fairly notable at the time) whereas Signal was purposing fairly standard and widely used mechanisms (OTR). It's possible that many of those failures have been addressed over the years, but I haven't followed it closely. It's worth noting that Signal has been widely vetted over time and is the underpinning of WhatsApp, whereas MTProto continues to have a poor reputation, it seems.

Choose to build something that you could use in your daily life, this will motivate you and give you are clearer path.

Next, just start. You know the basics, or at least how to setup the project and the gist of it. Start small, literally the smallest unit of work and build up. Be it a button, a single form, the login or whatever.

Real reason is simple: Russian government never actually tried to block it for real. Kremlin could easily force Apple and Google to block the application itself or it's push notification for Russian users, but they never did that.

Of course there was a lot of technical shenanigans going to block their IP addresses and proxy servers, but everyone understood that's is very fruitless attempt.

Oh and they fully unblocked it when Durov's TON network was destroyed by SEC in the US. Very soon after event Telegram official representative went to Kremlin and poof: Telegram is unblocked.

I do not, the investors do. I sit in the same shoes as the employees and intend to keep it that way.

It's entirely possible for our investors to recover their money, and for me and the employees to make $0. However it's not possible for me to make something and the employees to make $0.

One small wrinkle is that my strike price was microscopic because of when the company was incorporated, whereas the strike price for an employee is merely very low, so there could be some outcome differences there.
this way of framing things is only valid if outcomes of events are somewhat linear, but in real life this isn't true at all: some uninsured bad events can wipe you out completely, whereas insured bad events might not wipe you out. it doesn't matter if your expected value of not being wiped out was predicted to be 0.1 if you've gotten wiped out.

the decision of purchasing insurance or not depends more on how many resources or alternatives you have, and if you can easily smooth over an uninsured bad event so that it doesn't wipe you out. for individuals with limited resources who will be wiped out if uninsured, it is very rational to buy insurance, including paying a profit margin to the insurer on top.

another way of thinking about insurance is a way for groups of people to pool and share risk -- if they don't get hit by correlated bad luck then they all get to smooth out their bad outcomes.

Yes, unencrypted social features that could just as easily be serviced by any other social networking app which hasn't been explicitly banned yet (and that could happen to Telegram at any time).

> It's that Telegram operates under harsher network conditions.

So their operators claim. But it's not clear why that would be true and I haven't seen any numbers to demonstrate it either. Have you?

Much more interested in architecture design and memory hierarchy than flops. Anything interesting going on in caching or memory hardware?

The maneuverability thing is mostly a myth. Sure it's theoretically possible to build a drone that can turn at >9G. But it won't have sufficient thrust to sustain that rate of turn without losing a lot of energy. And now the airframe has to be stronger to handle the stress, which means heavier, and that compromises mission effectiveness in other ways. And for all that it still wouldn't be able to out maneuver a missile in most realistic conditions.

A better option would probably be to design drones that are less maneuverable. Sure more will be shot down. But that will lower the price so just manufacture more.
Are the buildings well-maintained or are they just relatively new in the 1902 footage? There's less traffic, but obviously you're seeing one of the smallest slivers of the German population in 1902. What did the rest of Germany live like? Also, what conditions would they experience in the 20s that would lead the events of the 30s and 40s? It's doubtful that in the time of horse manure and industries dumping waste into rivers with no regulations whatsoever that the water was cleaner.

I'll say that it does seem to be a quaint city avenue in 1902. Very walkable and enjoyable. They probably enjoyed a stronger sense of community back then. I do think as a side effect of our insular, climate-controlled buildings and cars and smart phone doom-scrolling, we probably feel less connected to community and nature.
In the US, it's hard to answer because it will depend on the state where you incorporate. Usually you can do everything online and would venture that it would cost maybe ~$200 on average.

Keep in mind thought that "starting" the business is one thing. How easy it it to find investments, opportunities and make it sustainable is a different question.
People who would be interested in rioting generally don't show up to riot unless they can be sure there are a lot of other people who will do so as well. A "one-man riot" is just a stupid vandal the police have no trouble arresting. And so communication of intent to riot is not really enough. There's a coordination problem akin to a massive game of chicken that needs to be solved.

Usually, the way this problem is overcome is that rioters show up to peaceful protests and engage in a sort of signalling game to other would-be rioters. The usual trigger to begin the riot is the sound of shattering glass. Until someone is ready to throw that first brick, you aren't likely to see much of anything.

Authoritarian countries know all this and they try very hard to prevent riots by banning all peaceful protests. Much harder to start a riot when there aren't any people on the streets to give cover.

In the end there's a password strength ceiling, and that ceiling is the moment it becomes harder for someone to crack your password than it is for them to pay someone else to come threaten/beat you into giving them access. Anything stronger than that is just security theater. Heck, even if you assume your opponent is mostly law-abiding the password ceiling is however many dollars it takes to set a bounty that results in someone finding a 0-day for the platform for which they want your access.
Creating a program is always difficult. Historically, there's been a big tension with Rustconf, and that's that many people are still new to Rust, so serving them best involves accepting talks that are more broad, both in scope and difficulty. It's really hard to pick talks for something as big as a language ecosystem for a one-day, one track conference.

Last year, RustConf did one day, but two parallel tracks. Fourteen talks instead of seven helps a lot, and lets you accept things in a much broader range of topics and difficulties.

2020 is... not a usual year for events. There are also more conferences these days, and with different focuses. Oxidize is very different than RustFest is different than RustConf is different than all the other various confs.
We don't know how many people who voted in the Telegram poll actually voted. Maybe only a quarter of the people in the Telegram poll actually voted.

Its possible that some of the people in the Telegram poll are not eligible to vote (due to age or whatever).

There could be other issues like people changing who they voted for in the election after previously voting in Telegram.
Honestly, your best bet now if you really want to target the stable branch seems to be to maintain a patchset on top of omni.ja. I see no reason that these type of modifications need to be dressed up like they're an extension.

IIRC it started as a fork of Wikipedia from a few years ago, so no idea of its currently quality, but it exists.
> One question I have as a user - what is an acceptable grace period for coming up with an equivalent replacement when you take an API away?

Done correctly, the replacement should have already been there for one release before the deprecated method is removed; this is because the downstream developers also need to transition to the new code. Ideally there's some amount of time involved (so no releasing two versions in quick succession without letting people have time to move off the old way). That depends more on the scale of what people have been doing with your old APIs.

Note that the deprecated method only has to work; it doesn't need to be performant. That means doing it as a shim on top of the new way is fine (even though it's code that might be thrown away soon).

All of this has ~nothing to do with what Mozilla had been doing with Firefox, of course. I'm still waiting for features that existed in XPCOM that are no longer supported.
Doesn't a large portion of computer security rely on private keys derived through computational "dice rolls" anyway?

If RNGs are that broken, the whole internet is broken- breaking a few passwords would be kind of secondary, wouldn't it? First up would be certain Bitcoin wallets, etc.
Insurance protects you from low-probability downsides you can't afford. Lottery tickets are about buying into low-probability upsides.

If the loss from not having insurance is bearable, you're better off not buying the insurance. If it's not, it's worth the money even if you'd lose out on average. That's why phone or car insurance (collision and comprehensive) is a waste of money for the average person, but health or homeowners insurance isn't.
This is not a replacement for YubiKey, this is a system to back them up. The article says: "You can then use that key [...] as the seed to create a U2F key for two-factor authentication"

Imagine that you do not trust electronics. Maybe once in the past, your PC's power supply blew up and fried every device in every USB port. Or maybe you were by the ocean once, and salt water got into your pocket and ruined every electronic device there. Or maybe you have read too much science fiction and are super afraid of terrorists setting of EMP bombs.

Either way, you want a key backup which is non-electronic in nature. What are you options then? Not many. You can generate a random QR code and and print it. Or you can write down list of 13 random words, bitcoin-style. But this is still paper, so it can get lost or easily destroyed. The box of dice, on the other hand, is much bigger (so it is harder to lose), and much stronger physically -- it does not care about water damage or mold.

Yes, this is not for everyone. Some people will want to backup using another electronic device, or maybe they do not care about backups at all. I'd personally use the "13 words" method if I had this problem. But I can easily imagine a person for whom the dicekeys would be the best secret backup solution.
This is why many protesters had kill swithes on their devices to whipe them out in case they are arrested.

If you grease up both candidates, your long-term success is not contingent on the current administration.

Since it's incredibly unlikely that an anti-surveillance, anti-warhawk, anti-police state candidate will ever become president, and it's incredibly unlikely that congress will be dominated by those sorts of folks, I think Palantir's business model is safe as houses.
You shouldn’t be contacting a bank - I think that might be the distinciton. When people say this, I interpret it as contacting their credit card and asking for a chargeback.

This depends on the credit card company but mine is very willing to charge back if I call. They find it pretty trivial.

I’ve never done anything like this with a debit card or bank though. I think the money that leaves through debit is actually gone and that’s a distinction. I know the EU is more debit focused.
> We all know absolutely there are limits

Once attention is drawn to it, yes. But in our real time behaviours and thoughts, at the low level detail of how the human mind works, do we sometimes ~forget? Does man sometimes suffer from hubris or other imperfections?

> The rhetoric is particularly galling because it is self-reinforcing willful ignorance

That is but one of many possible interpretations of my words, as is often the case, but not always realized.

> refusing to learn and then saying "We cannot possibly know!" instead of trying to stretch our limits.

I've made no such claim (but to be clear, I'm not sure if you were making that assertion). I've noticed that the human mind is often able to "see" things that aren't there (something else that seems to be often overlooked, particularly when convenient for the person doing the looking) - it is an incredibly powerful entity.
I really appreciated the way this post was structured. It worked forwards, not backwards. At the halfway point, I thought, "Oh, using the Apollo cache and the @client directive is a reasonable way to store and access client-side state," which is exactly what the OkCupid team thought at that point, too. Then they stopped, thought ahead a bit farther, and came up with reasons why it might not be the optimal choice.

Many posts are written about end results. "Look at this thing we built that is cool and works well." Thanks for sharing the full story, OkCupid.
It is like that if you give into the pressure to be politically correct. You can also not give a fuck like me. :)

I don't know why AI shouldn't thread well, assuming there is more than one actor. As long as they are operating over an immutable view of the game state, each actor should be able to plan independently and enter its commands independently. Likewise, there are probably some tricks you can do with physics. And anyway in most games interactive physics is only done for a few objects in the game world, and those objects are often not interacting with each other, at least not physically. You could cluster the objects that can affect each other and then do each of them single-threaded.
