Just to be clear, the AGPL still allows a company to take the the software as-is, without any modification whatsoever, and run it for their customers as a hosted service, right? That's why MongoDB had to add a new clause into the AGPL and make the SSPL? Why didn't Plausible go straight to SSPL?
I understand the issues the US has but there are big difference here that you just cannot ignore. To give China preference in trade is to accept all that China is doing and will do. What would it take to say, no. From Hong Kong to treatment Uighurs and their threat towards Taiwan. The world as a whole needs to step back from trade with China as a whole.

As for NATO , the EU has long has the technical means to do away with the need but they don't want to pay for it. How much do you value your security? Getting rid of NATO would be the first step in probably forcing the American government rethink its military spending; sadly the percentage of the US budget going there decreases by small percentages overall letting politicians on both sides claim they have reduced spending. Even halving the US defense budget won't solve the US deficit issues.
> I also think most Americans are largely indifferent to the numbers of German rank-and-file soldiers killed

No, we were gleeful at killing the enemy, whether German or Japanese. They declared war on us, disrupted our lives, and planned to kill us. Their lack of 4-engine bombers is the only reason New York wasn't bombed.

Regarding US involvement, we financed and armed both Britain and Russia, as well as China. And occupied all of the Axis countries.

Your Scottish friend is just participating in modern European historical revisionism due to current political correctness and collective shame, exhibited by allowing the self-loathing migrant invasion.

I think that that is part of the point with "modern" (however you want to call it) HTML: it should be declarative and layout-agnostic, and let the CSS do its thing regarding the various ways it should be displayed; this way the HTML is the same regardless of the actual layout of the page. Or at least it should be, in principle.
genuine question : why would you ask for permission ?
I think the problem is that the OP did not stop at "I am confused, can someone explain this discrepancy to me?" They went on to make seemingly unconfused assumptions that the translator must have misspelled his own name in an article about misspelling names.
A Grand Unified Theory of Product Ideation
More precisely: the first letter of a name is always capitalised.

So in "Hans de Zwart", the 'H' is the first letter, and therefore capitalised. But in "De Zwart", the 'D' is the first letter, and therefore capitalised, even if it normally wouldn't be.

There might be an exception to that if that letter is not part of a whole word. "De" is a word, but I once knew a guy whose last name was 't Zet. The "'t" is not a word (it's short for "het", the neutral version of "the", whereas "de" is gendered[0]), so probably wouldn't be capitalised[1]. Now imagine 200 countries and languages with exceptions like that and imagine having to write software to handle all of that correctly. This stuff was never a problem before the internet, but I expect the next century is going to see a lot of simplifications in language.

[0] Yeah, in Dutch, there are two articles: "de" which is gendered, and "het" which isn't. Compare to French "le" and "la", which are both gendered, one male and one female, and there's no neural article. In Dutch there is, but the gendered article doesn't care whether it's male or female; it works for both and doesn't actually care about gender, just that it's there. So it's gendered in a neutral way. Wrap your head around that.

[1] This is also true at the start of a sentence: always capitalised, except when it's not a complete word. If you start a sentence with 's avonds ("in the evening), you capitalise the 'A', not the 's', which is actually the last letter of the archaic possessive 'des'.
I have three first names, and round these parts they are space separated. Turns out that in a neighbouring country I should be comma separating them, or they are treated as a single first name (that happens to have spaces).
This is unfortunate, but ultimately it's all about control, and who can reasonably fulfill the requirements in these licenses. The AGPL is specifically made to only allow other very open source friendly shops to use your code that are likely to contribute back, or require a special paid agreement on the side. It's still much nicer than the "code available but not freely usable" model because it has built in exceptions for hobbyists and businesses with a model of software development that you support.

The Streisand Effect in action.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
We not only don't charge them, our governments actually give them money to do it. The Netherlands actually gave Microsoft 500 million euro in free energy credit (by building them subsidized windmills) just so they would build their enormous data center here, an enormous datacenter that is going to employ only 125 people.

And those windmills, they were pitched to the people as being able to power 370.000 households. The kicker of course that they won't power even a single one, as 100% of the energy has been sold to Microsoft.
Flexbox has its place in one's toolkit, but I still prefer floats in many situations. It might be subjective, but floats often seem to result in cleaner CSS, even taking into account the clearfix hack (which becomes much simpler with a Sass mixin).

Suppose you have the following desktop layout:

ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE

and you want to turn it into the following mobile layout:

O N E
TWO THREE
FOUR FIVE

With floats, you can achieve that by overriding only a few properties, primarily 'width'. But if you asked me to do it with either flexbox or grid, I'd have to think for a bit.

Flexbox is good for things that need internal flexibility in one dimension. Grid is for things that have a relatively static, two-dimensional layout. Floats are perfect for things that need to shuffle across dimensions, and I don't see any reason to avoid using them. After all, it's not as if floats are un-semantic or anything.
Current law only allows 4 but allows exception for foreigners (but then the name has to fulfill that other countries naming conventions). Though there is a superseding law that roughly says "the name must not intentionally bring harm to the child" meaning they can block you from giving weird/stupid name to a child (so name like Elon Musks youngest "X Æ A-12" would never be allowed to be given to a baby here)
But you know what the AGPL misses? Our data.

But if you care about your data the AGPL gives you the ability to run the software and keep your own data.
Regarding chance of being hired into those roles without previous experience, I'd say they are minimal, unless you join a scrappy, low-wage startup (or other low-pay environment - perhaps government, academia?). Everybody else can afford to hire people with experience, and will likely choose them over you.

Instead, the way to laterally move into those positions is to work somewhere as a developer and express interest in moving into the desired position. There, you (hopefully) already have a product and org knowledge that is an asset over hires from outside company. Also, before the transition, you can just pick up some work that belongs to the target field, so people will over time see you as the "X" guy and the move will be very natural.

BTW Data Engineer is basically IC Programmer.
Css specification does not do nice API. It does unintuive, convoluted and full of special cases. Flexbox is much better and easier then without flexbox.
Maybe that's a concept unknown outside that bubble of software developers, but lots of companies stipulate this in contracts; maybe you don't want to risk getting fired in case you don't (want to) maintain perfect opsec for... a side project?

"the holy grail of AI, it's ultimate goal, is AGI"

I don't think it is an explicit goal for many people - most people seem to be focusing on using 'AI' techniques to solve narrowly defined practical problems that were difficult or impossible with other techniques.

Edit: AGI was perhaps more of an explicit goal during the phase of "good old fashioned" symbolic AI the peaked in the 1980s and early 1990s.
>Ability to take some control over your local community's future shouldn't be a luxury reserved for wealthy enclaves

Sounds like a good argument for pushing government down from the federal/state/county level down to the state/county/local level.

Why should the moneyed interests in NYC have any say (via control of the state government) in what happens in Buffalo? (just one example) They're practically different countries.

The problem you encountered while working in quarantine
During quarantine, many employers faced the problem that it is difficult to monitor the work process of their employees remotely. Someone has small children at home, someone cannot concentrate and does not start work due to a relaxed atmosphere, someone is completely too lazy to work and chooses to lie on the couch rather than do something useful. Productivity levels are declining and many people don't know how to deal with it.
Sometimes it is difficult to understand a person when you are sitting through a wall from each other, and here often also communication is only in text mode. Many companies have lost and continue to lose their customers and cannot always find an answer and track why this happened. Either because of a lack of money in the company, or because of the laziness of an employee, or for any other reason. It is difficult for a director to trace the entire sequence of the development of communication, from the manager of the department and the ordinary employee to the client. How do you deal with this problem while working remotely? And are you completely satisfied with the work of your employees on the remote?

> EU politicians should wake up and smell the coffee, and invest in an EU army before it’s too late

They could, but at least in the short term it appears to be cheaper to let the US spend the money on their military and still get the benefits, even factoring some lost trade to China. It would take many $123mm lithography machines to make up for the billions they would need to create a standing army. That trade off will change, but everything hinges on the “before it’s too late” part of your argument, which you can be assured that virtually no democratically elected politician will get right, since they are looking at <10 years by nature of political campaigns.
I wonder if one could build a programming language with CRS. I mean, if you can use Brainfuck for all sorts of things, why not?
Not the OP, but I understand the sentiment. Despite the many advantages of the platform, there are so many things that have evolved in the meantime:

- Compatibility with international character sets (UTF-8) for data exchange

- Support for modern peripherals like LCD monitors, printers, wi-fi cards, etc.

- Access to external filesystems (Ext4, NTFS, remote storage, etc.)

- Other

I have never used Amigas, so maybe these points are all addressable with a recent version of AmigaOS, but I understand the OP's concerns.
I am trying to help you understand the actual death numbers that you were talking about in the thread I commented on (Sweden). Im not sure how data is reported to Euromomo, but sometimes its better to look at data with as few middlemen as possible.

There are plenty of indirect applications of AI in COVID but the core problem is not learning, it's searching and testing solutions. So a simulator would serve better. Learning comes after you already have the training data and want a model to solve similar cases.
Thanks, that does make a difference. :)
As someone who's been trying to figure out a good open source license for my software, I've had to remove AGPL from consideration. This is because I want companies to be able to use the software for their internal use but not be able to create a user-facing product out of it.

For AGPL, anything it links to must also be AGPL licensed. If a company such as Microsoft wants to use my project internally, they'd be taking on a huge liability. Does this mean any project that depends on my project needs to also be APGL licened?

Further, the terms on APGL are somewhat vague in a good-hearted attempt to prevent exploitation. What counts as 'use over a computer network'? If Microsoft developers use network disks to access my software are they screwed?

For now I'm (somewhat unhappily) considering MIT the only option.
OOC: how did you create your initial random loop? This was a Kaggle problem about seven years ago. The competitive solutions found a good initial guess by breaking up the domain into a grid. They would solve TSP in each grid cell, and then stitch these solutions together to get a reasonable initial global solution. If you created your initial loop greedily (as I did) you got a garbage solution, and also wasted a lot of time that you could have spent doing random swaps or simulated annealing.

> But I also wish that wouldn't result in the devices getting unreasonably thin/fragile. I'd rather have a sturdier device with 2-3x the battery capacity any day

Is that still the case though? I'm not sure about the Android world, but the last several iPhones have been getting thicker and heavier with bigger batteries, to the point that I would say the iPhone 11 is heavier than I'd like.

Fragility I agree with, but I think it's less the thinness and more that every high-end phone now has a glass back for wireless charging. I tend not to use cases and I've never once charged my phone wirelessly (and really don't care about it), so I wish there was an option for an aluminium back.
And their contrast is still shit.
If your moderation is the equivalent of a low fence keeping people away from the other side, with 2B users the fence will always be swamped by people leaning over it and bending it while looking you in the eye and going "See ? I'm not passing it. This is what you allow."

If you randomly bring the hammer down on a fraction of the people who just touch the fence, the fence will be pretty clear of people leaning over. But you'll sure gain a reputation for opaque capricious moderation.

NB: I am not against this system, and I recognize it's widely applied in the world.
How much work has been put into ensuring that the observed samples aren't biased?
The outbreak has always been claimed to occur in Wuhan's "wet market". The article only mentions pangolin coronavirus strains in relation to Guangdong. There is no assumption in the article SARS-CoV-2, the human virus, could originate from Guangdong. Should SARS-CoV-2 actually originate from Guangdong would anyway be the sign of a huge dissimulation.
Several civilians and police officers were also injured though. :(

If I am not mistaken the EUPL is copyleft and inspired by GPL.

In the case here it's however about AGPL. AGPL has the extra thing, that source has to be given not only to somebody who received the software, but also to ones who access it as service via network. (There is some legal debate on the exact details) EUPL afaik doesn't have such a clause, but it's relevant for somebody who builds a "service" and wants to prevent others from running a private fork of it.

If an employee want permission from their employer to spend work hours on contributing code to other projects and companies it make some sense that the employer will have an opinion on what that work is. They employer is after all paying for it, even if its given as a "perk".

Personally however I would not spend to much energy and time worrying about that. I don't expect google to pay programmers to support my side projects, and I would be actually a bit worry if they contributed to anything critical at the place where i work. Google might find coexistence acceptable today, but if they have paid employees to work on code for a competing company (even if its just for one of their commercial products) then I would see a risk that one day they would prefer to own what they are today giving out for free.
I would add that many of the "senior" engineers in SV received that title because they joined a startup 6-months before the company secured major funding and massively scaled. Seniority/familiarity with the startup's stack != senior.
This really isn't the problem at hand.

Could you provide more background/references for the click-through licensing scenario you mention?

Considering the previous Administration did little more than hashtag diplomacy in regards to Russia's take over Crimea and their conflict with Ukraine I do not understand why the EU hasn't moved on as it is. Trump could have been leveraged as a great excuse to finally do so. However it really comes down to money, the EU is fine with the current situation as long as it doesn't cost more money because no economy is in great shape right now.
It's not nice by any means.

I need to apply justify|align|content|items in the browser to make it do what I want. I can't for the life of me remember what they do.

But the underlying principles are neat. Flexbox gives me a container and an arbitrary number of children of various types which I can then position to my hearts delight. And things tend to fall in to place without me over-specifying every case.

As long as I'm working along one dimension, that is.

> but just looking at the raw HTML always leaves me a bit confused how elements on the page will relate to each other.

You say it like it's a bad thing. Chances are the relations are flexible.

One does run in to issues when the Flexbox rules apply across the bounds of components (e.g. Vue or React components) which makes composition difficult. Can be avoided by clearly separating layout from the rest. The S in SOLID applies to CSS as well.

There's a famous paper by Dijkstra where he claims that using anthropomorphic terms for computers is a sign of immaturity of the discipline. I used to think that was a bit extreme, but the more people keep talking about fucking AI, the more I'm convinced he was actually right.

Machine learning is linear algebra, nothing more nothing less. Making a model, using it wrong, and then complaining that "the model failed" is a unique kind of stupidity that's becoming more and more popular with "hoi polloi" due to garbage articles like this.
