I don't see it happening either.

1. It's a GPL release.
2. None of the rewards are happening in some far-future date. It's all in October (of which there is 15 days left).

Essentially, the proposition is that we the community pay and they will relicense it to GPL. If we pay more then they licence to BSD.

Using Kickstarter to pay for essentially finished goods isn't really the point of the system, and won't really work without a marketing campaign. Now, if grassroots were behind this, then a paid marketing campaign wouldn't be necessary... but the actual customers of ScriterJS, are commercial companies already paying for a licence and won't benefit from a GPL release.

Elsewhere in this thread, people talk about the goodwill the companies will gain if they pay for this project to be open sourced. However open source goodwill is only generated by popular projects, who market their sponsors. The lack of marketing around the kickstarter, would make companies think that their sponsorship won't receive much PR as well.

Lastly, one must ask why the company behind ScriterJS doesn't simply open source it themselves for goodwill and let a community grow organically to support it (via donations or code)? While no one can guarantee on-going support indefinitely, the way this projects release is being positioned makes me think its going to be an abandoned code-dump.

All said, it looks like a commercial company wants to dump their product. If they can get enough money, they'll open source it. If not, they'll just let long-tail revenue trickle in for the next few years to get the same sum of money.
Well, I apologize for using the word "family." I guess it's loaded.

You are correct. It is a different type of relationship.

In my experience, I had two primary goals:

1) The corporate strategy and tactical direction.
2) The productivity, cost-efficiency, well-being, and cohesiveness of the team.

My stuff came after that.

In any case, you're determined to find fault with my experience and outlook. I get that. I am quite aware that my approach is orthogonal to "industry standard," and that makes people uncomfortable. No problem. We'll probably never work together, which may actually be sad. I'm a pretty decent person to work with. I wouldn't be surprised if you were, as well.
>> any evidence produced you can label as fake or made up or false flag... Once evidence is provided the goal post is moved to evidence being made up or not credible. <<

There was no goal-post moving here, and accusing others of bad faith is against the guidelines. Accusing me of bad faith here is unfair and inaccurate. I ask for evidence that matches the magnitude of the assertion and that has never changed. Evidence I would accept is falsifiable: the forensic footprints of the malware, or equivalent

Can I see the evidence myself and evaluate it on its own terms? The answer, after 4 years, is a hard no. Lots of articles; lots of partisans saying it's true; lots of people such as yourself who are convinced, accusing others of moving goalposts; but nothing tangible

My original assertion is that this all remains an allegation. In response, you and the other user posted lots of links to people affirming that they know it to be true.

Your original assertion was that it has been proven and to claim otherwise is "disinformation", but so far, and bear with me please: so far, you have people telling you that it's true. Only. And that's okay! It doesn't mean they are lying or misinformed. They could be telling us the truth. At the end of the day, if you trust those people not to be lying or misinformed, then it's good enough

I would hope that you see here that principled people can disagree, even if you find all the affidavits for it compelling and convincing.

>> No one walked back on anything. It was simply not investigated since Republicans (especially people like Mitch McConnell) are putting party over country and not holding the president accountable. <<

It could be that they are cynical, perhaps a bit evil, and know in their hearts the President is working against the interests of the country, but just gain too much personal benefit from looking too closely. Or, and stay with me here, perhaps at least some of them truly and reasonably believe that the evidence is not strong enough

I'm most likely done with this thread, but I do appreciate your contribution. If you would like to have the last word, know that I will read it and consider carefully what you have to say. I would love one link to the evidence you personally found most compelling. I will open-mindedly look at it
We've got a live network with thousands of users across the city and have got 3 years of experience in this market, so we've got good sense of the expected performance per PoP.
Furthermore, we also offer minimum guaranteed revenue to PoP owners in case a region takes a little while to grow.

Regarding the use of the word franchisee, we've actually had a really counter-intuitive lesson while selling the PoPs. Initially we always referred to it in financial terms but what we found was that buyers were using the word franchisee themselves and preferred the term. It makes sense if you look at it from an absentee landlord share-cropping view, except in our case, we provide a fully managed service where you don't have to actually do any work.

We've set aside 5 PoPs for people that want to be part of a pool in case the $20k price tag is too high for them. We've just started to see some traction on that, so it'll be interesting to see where it goes.

> Rise in eating raw chicken meat and liver

> Between 1997 and 2018, the number of incidents and patients varied from 257 to 645, and from 1,551 to 3,439, respectively. One large outbreak involved 875 patients and was traced to sushi topped with raw or undercooked chicken at outdoor events in Metropolitan Tokyo and Fukuoka Prefecture in 2016.

> Epidemiological investigations of Campylobacter infections have shown that chicken meat products are the most important source of infection. Consumption of raw chicken meat and liver is not common but has been increasing.
What i know is that today's Corporate/Firm production sends many young kids in Ghana to a cancer-driven death [1], or has them digging in death-trap cobalt mines in Congo [2] - and that it can at times make me feel hopeless, angry and frustrated.

Some of the most hopeful strategies i've come across is Sensorica's Open Value Network style Commons-based peer production (as well as projects like Precious Plastic, Open Source Ecology and WikiHouse, etc.), coupled with using a Holochain-pattern Resource Event Agent accounting method, currently being developed by http://valueflo.ws / Holo-REA (from the people at http://mikorizal.org/)

that's not what "at your own risk" means.

"At your own risk" means you bear the risk (legally). If something happens, it is on you, and the manufacturer offloads any liability on you.

That does not imply what the risks are. Life threatening? You are risking other people's lives.
Intro of the movie "Idiocracy" sums it up pretty good ;)
Inherent in every part is tolerances, details of finishes, requirements for strength, etc. You can't find those things through 3D scans.

At best this is publicity stunt.
Unreal still has that problem. It's understandable but getting low enough into the engine to do weird shit is still very painful and basically undocumented.
I really appreciate how this guy understands that the map is not the territory - the mere appearance of a line in a dataset doesn't mean it's really walkable in practice, and he wants people to research what the situation on the ground is.
I do not think researches do not understand sediments would deposit somewhere. That's obvious. There should be something else.

Turbine gets water not from the surface. There was a project to extract enough methane to increase energy production.

It is actually concerning that you can inject false sensor data this easily. I mean, sure, the messages on the CAN will not be encrypted or signed in any way, I know, but still...
How does it wotk out for IPv6?
The last I checked the Five Eyes governments can be voted out. Is that true in case of PRC?
Yeah, I know that. Peruvians dont think the same, and many other countries are catching up with (at least the human form) of ivermectin - they are using it widely in India, Bolivia, Brazil, Dominican Republic, however its used in the US as well - not just on clinical trials.
Exactly.

The issue of developing aircraft parts is how to make it as light as possible and still perform reliably.

Machining the part is least of the problem. Any other method will be inferior if it produces heavier part to get same reliability or will be less reliable for the same weight.
That is controversial, though. Or just flat out wrong in spots.

Yes, that's the suggested fix. My question is if treating this like a CPU branch predictor and keeping some state that needs to be updated is too expensive or not. The packet pipeline is very performance sensitive.
The title is wrong chewing carbohydrates for long will break them down to sugar. Try chewing bread for some minutes or fall a sleep with bread in your mouth. This will taste quite sweet. Hence chewing longer bread (pizza) will become more sugary and your insulin output rises. It is also written in the abstract.

The paper reports that more chewing lead better satiety and facilitate glucose absorption. From what I understand this means that they chewing gives you more net energy out of your carbohydrate food.
Only very recent cars use Flexray, and also not true for all manufacturers. CAN is still widely used, and some want to skip Flexray entirely for the next thing...
I don't think the first sale doctrine has ever let you manufacture a patented product just because you happened to buy one.

From the previous discussion on the article, it appears that no EULA is necessary to prevent you from legally reselling the grapes you grow from parts you buy at the grocery store. That's just a law.

It depends on how much you value the advertising you get from it. In this particular case, the "influencers" didn't bring in any revenue, so they stopped giving out free samples to them.

I suppose you have to decide who is giving who the favour.
Everybody keeps saying that about advertisements yet advertisement is big business and has been since forever.

When was the last time you or anybody you know turned on the tv or went to the cinema to view ads?
I think the post is half right. Right now the macbook webcams get zero help from any computational photography unless your video call software has something like that (e.g. Zoom's background blur). Apple could do a lot more with both the physically design as well as with drivers, which they aren't doing today.
Online Auction for Vintage Videogame
Great platform with a diverse groups of startup founders, entrepreneurs and experienced CTO. I'm visiting it regularly and there is always something interesting to read.

From the technical side I like that I can use `markdown` inside messages. Web version is also smooth and fast even on mobile Safari.

The platform reminds me of Reddit and will be great to get weekly or bi-weekly digests pointing out to interesting discussions in different groups. Also, Reddit has lot of NSFW groups and NSFW posts. I wonder if OpenLand can be used for NSFW content or NSFW groups?
Bronze knifes are bad. Malnutrition sucks. Life expectancy (if surving birth) was 30 years.

This is not uncommon when you buy a new variety of plant from a garden centre. It's known as "Plant Breeders Rights" and is mainly to stop people buying the new plant and propagating it themselves with no money going back to the original breeder.

I guess it's a bit analogous to software or music piracy - making multiple copies of someone else's original work.

I think this gets at the real reason why some people, mostly (but not exclusively!) on the conservative side, are so terrified of other people taking drugs, because it presents a risk to their whole concept of fixed moral and social "truths". If these things aren't eternal verities but merely contingent realities that humans have thought up, that presents a real threat to their worldview.

Types of Management Problems
I think for "all major modern OSS" to apply we need at least Windows and macOS support. Internet Explorer never fit this description.

Edit: This comment is wrong - looks like IE did fit this description before my time. :-)
The two problems with this approach:

1. Even if the courts always get it right, small sites are not going to want to want to hire a lawyer and go to court to defend someone else's speech. They will instead err on the side of caution (as many do now for DMCA violations), causing a chilling effect on speech.

2. In a system where whether a platform is liable for its content is ultimately decided by courts we cede a lot of power over speech to the government.

I really don't think the courts are the path we want to take.
I've got the A7 which is not supported by this. You can get one used for 200usd. I put on the Sony 35 or 50 F1.8. I've also got a 40usd LED panel for lighting and both camera and lights are on fixtures connected to my desk via camps, 20usd from Amazon.
TLA+ is an example. What I really like about this notation is you can use alignment to indicate precedence:

\/ /\ A
/\ B
\/ /\ C
/\ D

Which represents (A & B) || (C & D). It helps quite a bit for parsing large formulas in your head. In TLA+ the individual expressions are usually much more complicated than a single variable.

We work harder? Seriously?

Most of the time in human history people were struggling to even stay alive. You had to work until you got enough food to feed your family, or you'd die. Live was not great, it was very stressful and inefficient (but people were used to it). This is still the case in most of the world, although overall not as bad as it once was, it is improving constantly.

We're the lucky ones who can sustain ourselve with 8 hours of work, food is cheap and abundant, we can afford luxury items like iphones even if a 300$ android smartphone would do the same job.

No, at average, people are not working harder now, because we don't have to. We managed to improve efficiency so much already and quality of life continues to rise.
That still doesn't explain interference patterns in double-slit experiments, especially in double-slit experiments with a single photon/electron at a time. Those can only be explained by the particle/wave traveling through both slits and then the two versions interacting with each other.
Flipkart vs. Amazon Web Performance Comparison
Being neither left or right leaning I disagree with that assessment. Both sides are filled with inconsistent hogwash, but at least in US politics the right is much more focused on staying on message. Deep down the modern right was formed from multiple independent groups so unity is what ties it all together. The left is far more fragmented and therefore more willing to bend.

What’s interesting is both the left and right are actually forming a unified belief system in younger people. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens over the next 50 years as demographic forces shift the political landscape. Politicians know how to be ideology flexible, the general public adds some real friction.
That's interesting, and it meshes well with my perspective that before modern "material wealth" really took off, the only real wealth people had was measured in calories.
The other big one is that the editor UX was completely bonkers which made learning it basically torture as there was essentially zero useful documentation. This is fine when you have or can build institutional knowledge which was often the case in the early licensed engine days but just made CryEngine woefully uncompetitive for modern audiences.
I think the expert they talked to had a good take. A plant reproducing is something the plant does. It's unclear whether you can be required by law to prevent it from doing its thing. (Well, it's actually not unclear; the supreme court says the law has that power. The law should probably be changed, though.)

It would be more interesting with something with a bit more free will. Someone will eventually patent a dog breed. A boy dog will meet a girl dog and they'll have dog babies. Do you put the dog in prison for patent infringement? Do you kill the babies?

All I can say is that nobody really cares about soybeans or grapes, but it will be a mess when the result is cute and fluffy.
If you generalise this, it sums up the difference between the mindsets perfectly.

Conservatives aren't scared of change, they're scared that they themselves, and others around them, would come to fully accept it. The fear is that this completely invalidates their current worldview rendering existence meaningless. It's the fear of being wrong about life on an emotional level.
Fun fact: Charles bridge (depicted in the video) was damaged during a flood in 1890. With the water level risen, broken down rafts were beating its arches and two of them fell apart, along with three pillars that were undermined by the water. During the reconstruction of the pillars, they decided to make them hollow (to cut on the weight) and you can actually go inside! It's not open to the public but there's a video that shows the inside of a pillar number 6 [0].

Some places in the Netherlands tested those. Imho they don't work as advertised. On a picture they might look 3d but when you driving towards them your brain knows the perspective doesn't change and doesn't trick you into thinking it is 3d.

The effect is more like: What is this for strange art!?
As it says "still an unlikely and far-future scenario" the author thinks it's prediction, simply a 'scenario' but is too myopic to see the unfeeling machine he's already inside.

Which is a shame as it may help them see that there is a way out of even the most all-encompassing scenarios of control.
You ... don't know much about lifestyle of men and women in the past, do you?

With exception of very rich people in few periods (idle aristocracy, middle class 1950 household), majority of people needed to work a lot. That includes both women and men.
This is a bit misleading since Republicans focus on winning the electoral college. If republicans needed to win the popular vote they would campaign harder in high population urban centers and the popular vote counts would be much closer.
My main concern would be that the architecture of an OTS Android system does not offer any guarantees regarding real-time i.e. hard deadlines.

Ever had an android app or even the whole phone locking up? Even if it is only for a second or two, I don't want this to happen to a device that feeds live data into my car's controller.

Even if this is only level 2 driver assist. If a car would get a bogus "you are crossing a divider line" signal for e.g. 2 seconds, it would start to steer quite persistently (even if with limited force) in a certain direction and you would have to counter that action.

Nope, I wouldn't use this.

I love ESPhome. I don’t use their web interface or anything for management, instead I have all of my config in a repo as “infrastructure as code” which gets deployed to all of my devices in one command.
I come from a science background and have similar experience. It really reminds me of the adage "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail".

One thing I have found is that while not all generalist suggestions are good, they can at least provoke the specialists to think about the problem differently.

I'd say that not being a good father by choice rather than necessity could be considered pretty wrong.
> Until, at least, all major modern OSes come with a built in scriptable headless browser engine

One of the main advantages of shipping your own browser like Electron or SciterJS is that it's a fixed, stable target where you can be a lot more confident about browser compatibility because you're only supporting a single browser + version.
I loved how this article was written. Just an avalanche of structured argument, unrelentless, only stopping for punctuation or to take stock of what what was just said implied. And no filler whatsoever.
> they want to feel appreciated and treated well for once in their lives.

If being internet famous is the same as being irl famous, then you would probably have to say the same about actors, TV presenters , musicians, street performers, radio djs etc.

Not sure what your point is here. If you're saying information is a virus to society and we need reasonable restrictions on it to save it...I don't agree and there isn't much if any recorded history to support that assertion. Information and expression doesn't kill, it's not a virus. It's not even a comparison.

For women "at home" often means bulk of animal care, home production of goods (crafts basically) and other similar farm-like work. And having jobs in cleaning, sewing and what not. It is not like every one of them had living husband or every husband earned a lot.

Good case are miners areas - men work hard like 12 hours a day under ground and die young. Women have to earn for themselves and for kids once they are dead however possible.

Less mindless and debilitating work is a good thing, but to replace work that challenges human capabilities in all its aspects with leisure and enjoyment is probably not a good thing.

If for example reasoning was automated (we're not there yet, but it is on the horizon) then human capacity for nuance would likely diminish further, to the extent where concepts and ideas might only placed in a 'good' or 'bad' category without capacity for further analysis ...
