> This is a false dichotomy.

There is no false dichotomy because I never set up any kind of dichotomy. I'm just listing examples of folks that I want to use my code. And you left off the rest of my quote that explains in a bit more detail:

> Given the current intellectual property regime, corporations are incentivized against the use of copyleft software in a large variety of circumstances. Thus, copyleft software, particularly libraries, is regularly avoided by corporations. Since some of these corporations also play a huge role in the FOSS world itself, this leads to systemic network effects that push folks strongly towards the use of permissive licenses. Thus, putting aside ideology and activism, it is simply a reality that if I publish a library with a copyleft license, it's less likely to be used by folks, which is inhibits my goal.

The fact that corporations do use copyleft in some places doesn't negate this point at all. It's pretty clear that there are a wide variety of circumstances in which copyleft is avoided.

This isn't theoretical or hand wavy. I have direct experience with this. One of the criteria Visual Studio Code used to evaluate ripgrep was its permissive license.[1]

After watching Zach Hartwig's youtube video [1] which culminates in talking through the ARC/SPARC approach to building more compact tokamaks (that don't require epic levels of global political collaboration, multi-decade planning and financing like ITER) I've been seriously considering a career change just to try and get involved! (There's a more focussed video on the Commonwealth Fusion Systems approach here [2])

As a physicist, turned developer, turned tech manager based in the UK I'm not quite sure what an opportunity looks like, and whether the right approach is to bash the plasma physics books, or wait for a more tech-orientated role to crop up.

I'm also really interested to know how these startup-esque companies are all going to handle their intellectual property now they're private enterprises - are their individual breakthroughs all going to be kept deeply secret (and vanish if/when most of them eventually fail) or are they all going to be frantically cross-licensing their discoveries so that in aggregate we don't lose out of the benefits of collaboration. According to A Piece of the Sun (by Daniel Clery) the early days of fusion research were hampered by international secrecy - things really started moving when researchers persuaded their governments to open up and let them work across borders.

You use a lock-free structure for the log.
For individuals it is a waste of time unless you are exceptional and rare in some way for that particular job. Companies get lots of rfps for ideas and then go with their favorite vendor. Rule of thumb: Do you carry liability insurance for your company? Have a contract lawyer that you know and use? If not then you are probably not big enough for the major RFPs.
The timing if the this all coming out is super suspicious, but the "it's the Russians!" thing just made me groan. If Democrats had simply said it was a lie I would have found that much more believable.

It's not like there can be only one news organisation. You could say that the incentives point to making a product that most people can afford but there are still companies making $50k watches and million dollar cars.

Sure the largest news organisations will always be serving up garbage for the unwashed masses but there should still be room for one optimising for trust.
Written agreements like contracts and licenses can never exhaust the possibility space and so its not possible to list every type of bad behavior. It may not be practical for some users to give credit to the original writer so the originator doesn't require it in the license, this doesn't mean its ok for someone to pass off someone else's work as their own.

This only factors in economic damage from the higher temperature. It's not looking at floods, extreme weather, and definitely not looking at second-order effects - mass migrations, increased risk of war etc.

It is an absurd fantasy to imagine that the only effects of global warming in the next hundred years will be economic contraction (though note that economic contraction YoY itself is almost unheard of in the US and Europe, and will bring dire consequences).
you're moving the goalpost from self sufficient to 100 millions humans, and the two are very lightly correlated.

Hi,

It is possible, though not well documented, that in China they actually do analyze[0] the image data from video cameras. That said this would be a case study in what that means from a free and open society.

>I'm not. Show me the pictures and proof of the "genocide" and I'll do a 180. I'll believe you.

>Alright. Show me the pictures of the mass killings and the slaughter that's occurring in China. I want to see pictures of the executions and the graves.

Again you've shown yourself to be no more mature than a sixth grader. First, educate yourself about definition of a genocide. It's not all "mass killings and graves" that you are lusting after. A genocide can be a systematic destruction of a people through incarceration, torture, humiliation, destruction of language, cultural practices etc. simply based on their race, culture, or religion. Same thing that's happening to Uighurs. Vox did an expose a couple months ago using satellite imagery to find hundreds of mass detention and slave labor facilities corroborated by statements from victims.

You really do should do some reading with empathy. Maybe you can learn something: https://www.vox.com/2020/7/28/21333345/uighurs-china-internm...
Does this imply Chinese can break into all these encryptions ?
> Copyleft is a great way of assuring freedom. MySQL is an excellent example on how non-copyleft open licenses may give you freedom in practice but end meaning the end of a product. QT is going the same road.

Both MySQL and Qt are licensed under GPL/LGPL, unless you pay for a commercial license. So, if anything, they are examples of copyleft licensing.

Can you elaborate on this? According to Wikipedia[1], MySQL is licensed under GPLv2, and iirc that is a copyleft license?

Agreed. It is the best approach. I think it is laughable that editorial reasons for publishing are brought to front. I actually remember the political articles I read from the last years. I wouldn't have released the Biden story but certainly not because of alleged editorial reasons. Everyone lies, but you should set sensible limits.
It's such misnomers. You'd think the "lat" prefix comes from lateral and means an axis that goes sideways, but that's not the case.

Well, as I pointed out, my goal is for as many people to use my software as possible. The choice of license impacts this goal.

One could also make hand wavy arguments about more use leading to better software. That's certainly the case for much of my code. If fewer people used it, it might not have improved as much as it has. (Obviously "more use" is not the only path to better software! And it does not guarantee improvements either.)

I can say that without a doubt, if I had released, for example, ripgrep under the AGPLv3, far fewer people would be using it today.
In Poland, the rule is that basically if you and sibilings can afford to pay for the nursing home of your parent, there is no state assistance. The state only kicks in if the family is too poor to cover the costs. The rationale behind it being probably that caring for parents is the responsibility of family, not state.
The industrial revolution and the technological progress that followed it were driven and accelerated by the opening of new frontiers, mainly in the Americas (admittedly at terrible cost to those peoples already there or those brought against their will). The same holds here: true major progress will only occur when driven by external imperatives and incentives. Restriction will bring decay and eventual collapse. Expanding into space will provide first world prosperity to all peoples on Earth while also protecting the irreplaceable biosphere.

It isn't an insane conspiracy. Not even the deep state is one. It does exists in form of political networks in Washington. That isn't some malicious hydra, but on contrast to that the Russian collusion story is an actual conspiracy and hit job on political opponents.

Get a tin foil hat if you fear Russians behind every tree, but the story got old pretty quickly.
I was surprised as well. I always thought, the whole idea of intermittent fasting is to have no sugar floating in the body when you go to sleep. And that would be accomplished by a last meal at 4pm or 5pm and then no intake (except water, sugar-free tea/coffee) for 16 hours.
I mean, yours is even worse. You behave like an angry kid in an online game.

A single, giant meal is not going to be associated with the problematic blood sugar spikes and rapid insulin responses as long as it is a balanced meal that includes a good amount of fats, proteins and vegetables. All of these slow digestion, so the pancreas will be doling out insulin at a relatively steady, slow rate over the course of hours and then getting a nice long rest.

Eating 3 balanced meals throughout the day might be marginally better or worse for the pancreas, but neither of these dietary choices trigger the panic-level insulin responses (which ultimately lead to insulin resistance and diabetes) that snacking on large amounts of refined carbs and refined sugars are notorious for.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2121099/ This study found that although there was higher blood glucose and reduced glucose tolerance in the morning for the group eating 1 meal a day, surprisingly they had less insulin resistance than the group eating 3. Other indicators of dietary/hormonal health were the same between groups. Same caloric intake of glucose between groups, and the 1 meal a day group shared the same evening window just like OMAD. This was a pilot study with small sample size (irritatingly the actual number isn't listed from what I can see) as well as a high withdrawal rate, unsurprisingly.

> But if your takeaway from that is that scientists are overconfident and wrong

my takeaway is that every years hundred models are given birth, every year later the model fitting the data best survive, and two year later when that last model prediction fail, a new model from the previous that that predicted the change better replaces it, in a never ending cycle of bullshit.

the models go both way: without a predictive model that can hold water, how do you know which parameter to tune to resolve the climate crisis?

It’s not the matter of combinatorial explosion or binary blobs...

On many non-PC platforms, you’re given a thousand “pins” to which you’re free to connect whatever circuit that you conceived for your product, be it green and red buttons, or backlight control circuits, or temperature sensing inputs, or SATA controllers, or 4 bit 74 series counter repurposed to switch pin 567 between SATA controller configuration interface output and battery temperature gauge input and laser ranging sensor power modulation output and self destruction device detonation cord output.

There’s no way or even motivation to describe those board specific miscellanies in such way that Linux Kernel drivers can dynamically consume and adapt to, or decide how to behave.

This is not an issue for x86 PC platform, because every x86/x64 PC is either a 100% clone of IBM 5170 “PC/AT” to run IBM DOS 5.0 or Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 binary without ever catching fire, or a Microsoft Windows Logo Program certified product that boots into Windows of the same era from binary installer disc/USB key.

For an on prem alternative to Jira, you can have a look at Tuleap.

We (I'm from the dev team) don't aims to re-do a "simple" alternative to jira because there are tons of them and they fall short when things to track get more complex. You can do simple (as github) you can do hellish (as jira) but unlike jira, you don't mandate one model over another (no hundreds of un-necessary fields because someone asked them once).

It's GPL, there is an entreprise plan, it's available on prem and cloud.

Misleading headline. He was trying to engrave "LIBERATE HKERS".
Hmmm, maybe there is some confusion here. At least for ripgrep in particular, it has always been dual licensed under the MIT and the UNLICENSE[1]. This was itself a continuation of a decision I made a bit earlier with regards to another project[2]. Namely, I had been using only the UNLICENSE. But dual licensing with the MIT allowed folks with a more conservative risk profile to use the project.

But the point of linking to VS Code's decision was to say that I have direct experience with situations in which a copyleft license might have inhibited use of my software. That is, it's an example that runs counter to my goal of as many people using my code as possible.

This doesn't mean copyleft is never used in popular projects or that copyleft somehow perfectly inhibits popularity. I mean, obviously that's not true. But the existence of popular copyleft projects doesn't mean that copyleft isn't itself a barrier to use in other circumstances.

STM is implemented using immutable data structures and using atomics you can do a compare and swap to update the value. If the swap fails you try your transaction again. I’m not sure how you would implement this in a language with mutable data structures easily. I know Azul had hardware transactional memory that supported its.
Ideally you want no spikes, because you are eating a balanced diet and avoiding meals and snacks consisting largely of refined carbs and refined sugars. A proper meal shouldn't really create a blood sugar (and resulting insulin) spike as much as a gradual elevation and fall back to baseline, because protein, fat, and fiber all slow digestion, and complex carbs (and even sugars within fiber/nutrient matrixes ie whole fruits) don't tend to spike blood sugar too badly in the first place.

Then you create rules for interoperability for direct communications, you don't force sovereign private individuals or companies (groups of individuals) for how to set their algorithms - but you can take down the walls from between direct messaging apps/functionality.

Likewise if you did a UBI-like mechanism where everyone was allocated $100/year for digital services like Twitter/Facebook that would flood the market with revenue, non-manipulative ad based revenue too, and many more startups could survive and do R&D, etc. to help break up the monopoly which primarily exists through economies of scale - if people have $100/year though (or whatever amount is figured out to be minimum viable) then there's excess/buffer funds to cover higher bandwidth and computing costs of smaller competitors who can't compete on scale metrics.

There are likely additional options than these above, options other than taking away the sovereignty of official individuals/companies - which is a very dangerous path towards implementing mechanisms useful for tyranny - sovereignty being the diversification and de-risking counter mechanism to tyranny, allowing individuals to "vote" by which service(s) they decide to use.

The $100/year for digital services is mimicking the Democracy Dollars $100/year voucher policy idea of Andrew Yang, allowing all eligible voters to give $100/year to their candidate of choice, which will washout for-profit industrial complex lobbyist money 8:1 with money from citizens who will have far more diverse needs than lobbyists.

E.g. imagine how much innovation would occur on federated platforms like Mastodon if people had $100/year they could only allocate to such a service, and they didn't want to find Twitter or Facebook.

Otherwise to parrot your comment, in conclusion, it's even further "not as simple as that" - as in you need to design the system to counter tyranny as well, there needs to be balance maintained where freedom is what is outweighing control; and freedom will cost more than control - it's quality over quantity (economies of scale), necessary cost is something we shouldn't be hypersensitive to or hypervigilant for, however most of us are due to the now artificial scarcity mindset most of us have, where mechanisms like $1000/month UBI will allow us as an organism to destress, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and focus on/care about the more holistic, less focused on self and survival of only self.
