I already uninstalled Octotree and as mentioned in another comment here, https://github.com/EnixCoda/Gitako seems to be doing exactly the same thing.

I'm confused, is there anyone with a stake/standing in this who is complaining, or did some outsider just come and accuse a random project owner of breaching a contributor's license?

If that's the case, this raises two questions:

(a) How do they know a priori that the project owner hasn't cleared the license (maybe via a contract that they have no interest in publicly disclosing, or by believing [for whatever reason] they're too minor/fair use), and

(b) Why are so many bystanders piling on and stirring up conflict in public trying to cancel this guy? Wouldn't it make sense to just let concerned contributors speak for themselves?

> tell me how to send a 10k USD from US bank account to EU bank account for $23.46 or less

Sent a few thousand dollars from my Fidelity account to a Frankfurt-based friend’s UBS account last week. Zero fees. Note that I sent, and they received U.S. dollars. I believe they incurred about a dollar of slippage in the FX conversion to Euros.
Yeah, but Rust isn't exactly a counter example, I think. It's heavily inspired by Haskell, its type system, as well as FP in general. So, it sort of inherits (pun not intended) its parallelization capabilities from that.
The TSA will seize your phone if you don't hand over passwords and passcodes in many cases, you're saying you think it'd be a good idea to cross the US border with any amount of bitcoin on a hardware wallet? That's... optimistic.
We used to think the composition of the Sun would never be known because there was no way to take a sample. Now, because of spectroscopy, we know the composition of the Sun and all the planets. We’re pretty clever when we put our minds to something.
And what is the malicious act? To get rich off of the highly profitable code in those pull requests?

The "deceit" is saying whatever to get people to go away, not to hurt anyone, or to profit off of anyone else's hard work. The right thing to do is just to ask people to assign copyright (see eg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24954772 ), but lacking the maturity do what a responsible adult needs to do is just immaturity, not malice.
Ask HN: How many non-work emails do you receive on avg per week?
I've always been an inbox-0 person, but until the pandemic I hadn't thought too much about orphaned accounts. But back when this all started and every company that had my email sent the "how we're protecting our customers" blast, it got me interested in not just staying at inbox-0, but trying to stem the amount of mail coming in.

This is unscientific, and obviously depends on activity that triggers transactional emails, but I've probably cut the amount of inbound email I get by about 50%. I would say in an average week I get about 15-30 emails now.

So I'm just curious what the histogram looks like for HN readers. How many emails do you get each week that aren't work-related?
Hey guys, I'm not sure if I should post this here or create a new post on the main page? I spent the morning implementing the music box that I talked about with @bigiain yesterday. I went even further and created a little submachine to load text file songs from the computer. I hope you like it.

I appreciate that it can only be dismissed. Clicking the bubble as asked does nothing.
I think HOAs are a scam. We recently bought a house, and simply didn’t consider anything with an HOA fee (we made exceptions and considered arrangements where the HOA was limited to private road maintenance).

I doubt we’re the only ones; the HOA depresses the price of the house.

In my mind, a house + HOA = condo, regardless of whether it shares a wall with someone else, and we’d pay accordingly (50-66% as much, tops).

> Therefore, that note derives its value from the implicit debt underlying it

That is not what legal tender and “for all debts public and private” mean [1]. That language refers to dollars being currency “courts of law are required to recognize as satisfactory payment for any monetary debt”.

On the Parker Lewis article, it’s cute but contrived. A straw man. Bitcoin is backed by nothing. U.S. dollars are, similarly, backed by nothing. Saying they’re suspended by shared perceptions is technically true, but implicitly re-defines backing to a meaningless word.

> Nit: Licenses are not by definition revocable. They can be revocable or irrevocable.

Not: Gratuitous (not contract) licenses are, by strong legal precedent, revocable by notice at will by the licensor. The content and context of the license (including the statement that it is irrevocable) may impact the effect given to revocation due to other legal principles, particularly promissory estoppel, but those are separate from revocability.

A simple explanations: the genetic difference that regulates the biological clock is tiny, which makes variations common, because on the perspective of millions of years such variance is useful, as it increases adaptability and thereby surviveability of the species.

Massive increase in hunters during the day? Small mammal ancestor of humanity becomes a creature of the night within few generations. Sudden ice age, night activity is energy expensive, so curl up, sleep, and search food during day is the best strategy? Adapting quickly to such changes is a benefit. To get that benefit the mutation must be common.

Right now there is a lot of activity around the US elections and ransomware campaigns where VPN devices are a common source of traffic.

Many places will discard the traffic due to elevated risk. Frankly, the public VPN services are pretty pointless anyway.
Yes. But again people won’t accept that. People will rather be killed more often by drivers that feel guilt, go to prison, have strokes or poor eyesight than less often by a machine that does not have all of those flaws but also none of the feelings and responsibilities.

The quoted sentence is - I think - a fairly modern perspective, replacing the previous "god vs devil, with humans in the middle".

You see it all the time in media - there are demons to fight, and humans fight them. Buffy, Supernatural, etc etc. The "we are god" trope is fascinatingly watchable.

I'm sorry, but your response is far more uncharitable as you're making the case that I didn't read it and need a summary that isn't really that close to what you actually said. I thought we were having a conversation.

I don't know who you're arguing with, but it's not with me or what I wrote.

But let's address it: let's say that someone raped another person. The rapist serves a prison sentence for his crime and he comes out of prison as a rehabilitated man. Are you saying he has to go to his victim to specifically make amends to them? And if he doesn't, he's still a rapist? That, in my opinion, is one of the most toxic parts of the 12 step process in the US, where you make your victims responsible for your penance by requiring them to accept your apology, which by its very nature involves bringing up that trauma _again_.

And what even does it mean to 'undo harm'? What's done is done, for better or worse.
If insignificant accessories are properly isolated then I suppose such 'updates' can just be optional patches. But if a media center bug means someone can cause my car to break hard or swerve then even those should be classified as recalls.
and don't forget. The internet porn industry pretty much invented the streaming video tech. we all take for granted. In fact, there use to be a saying that no Internet innovation can be considered a success until it has been adopted by the online porn industry.

Auto-escaping every GET/POST input at input time was quite something. Also arrays being pass by value is a lot of fun to this day:

$a = [1];
$b = $a;
$b[] = 3;
var_export($a);

And that you could pass by ref at call time to any function. That was also quite unique.
Tesla's shadow mode is collecting real data up until the point where the car's decisionmaking process and the human driver disagree. Everything after that is simulated fantasy. And since human drivers aren't necessarily going to do "the right thing" in all circumstances (there isn't necessarily a single 'right thing') you can't treat 'car-disagrees-with-human' as an error case.
Designer 2 cents here: Contrast is needed to reduce eyestrain, actually the problem with light mode is colour in code editors, colour is better perceived on a dark background. But if you a reading long form text with no colour in general you will have better contrast on a white background. If you are using light colour theme in your editor, try to tame the whiteness of your background, 80 to 70% grayscale (you can warm it up with a little yellow tint). The next important thing is your font selection and linespacing.
> I often hear how it's good for privacy to use (basically all the time) such VPNs

This kind of got out of control with YouTube ads for VPNs. I want to scream "what is your threat model!?" at people who tell me they use it all the time. Using them without having a specific reason why is silly. And as you've noticed it's not without downsides.
The only known exoplanets are in the Milky Way - we can't yet detect them around the vastly more distant stars of other galaxies, except perhaps in the rarest of circumtances.
Thanks. Yeah, one of the great inspirations for this project is Emacs, which I love. Emacs is so good because of the different modes that everybody can write. In the future maybe anybody can write a mode for MockMechanics (like the Avatar Mode that I keep talking about), we'll see.

Unless you are talking about the machines themselves? The copier machine for instance can be set to copy in place or not, it has a toggle button for it. So, yeah, people can build library machines with all sorts of toggles, sliders etc to tweak their behaviour, and then you can use those to build even higher machine abstractions.

That's bad if true. bdowling points out that this only concerns the format itself, which while very different from "owns all images", could still be detrimental to preservation.

I think the answer then would be to come up with an alternative that works on approximately the same level.
As others have explained, once car and charger have done their handshake, charging is about as complicated as a toaster oven and there isn't really anything the car could do to damage the charger.

And as you have correctly discovered, cars catching on fire is a very regular event that is covered by insurance. Does your supermarket make you sign a liability waiver every time you drive onto their parking lot? No, we have mandatory insurance and other higher-level concepts to do away with all of this overhead that we would otherwise incur doing the most trivial of "transactions".
Yeah, but it wasn't the most straightforward way to go about building a supersonic airliner.

The sad thing is that the Vulcan was one of three submission to The UK government to build a long range bomber. The military wanted the Vulcan, but it was seen as risky due to its advanced technology. So they orderd the Vulcan and the Victor, a less risky design as backup. Then they got cold feet and orderd the Valiant too just in case. So they ended up designing 3 entirely different planes with the same Mission profile. Oh, yes then they bought some B-29 Just in case....

> and he is quite obviously not talking about slapping in response being verbally abused, not at all.

Well maybe we have not seen the same video then. i quote:

"Some women wont leave it alone. They want to have the last word and wheb you give them the last word their are not happy with it and they want to say it again. And they will try to get you into a provocative situation."

Its the litteral definition of gaslighting your partner. Its a litteral case of verbal abuse.

Sure he talks about women but only because the interviewer asks about the provocative idea of "slapping a women", but its the same situation with a guy in a bar that tries to provoke you and it gets physical..

If anyone is sexist here its the interviewer framing the situation as "omg man slapping a woman" to make him look bad, when its just "person who is verbally abused slapping the abuser to make it stop".

Once again i wouldnt personally react like he advocated but he is kilometers away from a spousal abuser. If anything the video ends by saying he never had any trouble with his wife..

Because apparently the use of the word ‘genocide’ cannot be appropriated by non Jewish people.

Bengal famine that was a man made famine by British wiped out 1/3 of the population of one state. That’s 10 million people. And there were many more. We were shipping cotton to England instead of growing grain for our people. Indians understand genocide.

>Today it's still okay by most for a woman to hit a man.

The context here is that a woman can't threaten a man with violence due to being unable to injure or harm the man (I'm excluding stinging for a few seconds from a slap).

Whereas a woman is always at a great disadvantage for defending herself against a man, so if a man hits her, even if it's just a slap, it indicates that he is willing to hit her, and might hit her harder next time causing damage. This context makes the difference between a woman slapping a man versus a man slapping a woman. A similar situation is if a very small child slapped an adult.

Note that my statement isn't comparing women to small children, but to illustrate the role of differences in displays of physical power between two people.

None of the above is me endorsing any sort of violence or physical retribution, but I'm trying to explain most people wouldn't be okay with a woman hitting a man in a way that injures him or causes long term intimidation, but why a slap in a sitcom is accepted.
"stress is positively correlated with neurodegenerative effects"

Can you provide some references to this?
Except for that pesky swallowing of exceptions, I agree
If what you're proposing is that "success" in this experiment is that every Tesla now drives at least as well as the absolute worst-case human driver, then you've pretty much articulated why this experiment is so dangerous.
I like to think there is a nice pun here, that functional programming is "timeless" in two simultaneous ways:

(1) As mentioned in the article, values are immutable and side effects are reified so you do not have to reason about time. Instead, you can reason equationally, which unlocks some nice benefits related to refactoring, reasoning about correctness and concurrency, testing, reproducibility, etc.

(2) Functional programming is based on well-behaved mathematical foundations and so is more stable than the other programming paradigms. Object-oriented programming is a constantly moving target because it doesn't have a principled formal foundation (despite many attempts to establish one on an ex post facto basis), whereas functions are "timeless" in the sense that they're here to stay.

It's not without tradeoffs of course, but if you're willing to have an open mind about how computers should be programmed and forego some things that are so pervasive in traditional programming (e.g., unrestricted side effects), the payoff is huge.

And it's scary as hell. Had it happen to me twice in a 600-mile highway roundtrip this summer. Was very happy nobody was following me closely, because the combination of regen breaks and disc breaks really stops the car quickly.
While broken, I suppose this is what would happen:

1. Person A writes project X under GPL

2. Person B extends project X under GPL

3. Person A removes all traces of contributions from project X and releases under non-GPL

4. Person B rightfully continues to use project X under GPL, possibly even hosting a fork and continuing collaboration.

(I'm not sure if step 3 is feasible - while person A is free to use their own copyrighted work however they please, it might not be possibly to legally erase all trace of foreign contributions.)

---

What normally should happen is that Person A needs to contact all contributors, and have them agree to the relicense their contributions. If all authors agree, then there is no issue. However, step 4 still applies - everyone receiving the code under GPL is free to keep using (and distributing) it under GPL.

Only contributions done to the relicensed work will be uniquely protected by the new license.
I will probably be downvoted to death but I am not particularly impressed by Sean Connery. He wasn’t a bad actor by any means but nothing resonates with me, all known his movies are commercial stints and I couldn’t see any depth to his acting other than the known Sean Connery type we’re familiar with. Actors that weight heavier on my scale are for example Rutger Hauer or Jeremy Irons or even the recently cancelled Kevin Spacey. Sean Connery was the posterboy for that genre and didn’t go beyond that. I liked his look though and he seemed to get sexier and sexier as he got older but that’s about it
Here, on HN and similar places, people have strong bias toward scientism, making fun of audiophile cables and such, but the actual truth is, audio business is ultimately an entertainment business, and if, for some unknown (and potentially very subtle) reason something sounds better, no one really is willing to research the matter deeper, because, the research may become prohibitively expensive, with weak or no results all. Of course, there are general trends, like more linear DAC usually sounds better than less linear, but it is not always true. I mean, sometimes, two seemingly equivalent designs may sounds noticeably different, yet their physical measurement would suggest otherwise (which means, we are measuring the wrong thing).
One thing will happen. If you do a web search for Buu Nguyen, this cesspit will come up. I think Buu Nguyen just made himself unhireable for life, at least by any organization which values IP.

That's probably a much worse outcome for Buu than a DMCA notice or otherwise.
Extending Excel is a reason to use VBA, not the C/C++/C# most of Excel itself is written in. Extending Wordpress is a reason to use PHP.

In both cases, the merits of the extension language are almost irrelevant; people use them because they're the extension language for a popular platform.
I can't see how per capita helps in comparison. I think there were a lot of non industrial states in US, industrial centers and workforce pool is all that matters.

French First Republic too suffered from revolution yet two decades later it (First Empire) conquered much of the Europe. There was no other choice for USSR. All wealth flooded into militaristic complex. System could effectively produce weapon but it could not solve citizens needs.
Actually, code isn't what does that. It's true that code is one of the things that keeps it "all". However, it's not the best place for documentation or even storage of that knowledge. Code changes.

Tests are what you need to invest in. When you test all of you business use cases in an abstract (perhaps even no-code) way, you are truly independent. You can rewrite the system very quickly, if you had a test-suite that allows for quick iteration (TDD style) and does not depend on implementation details.

Given just the code? Well good luck migrating to another cloud vendor. You will probably introduce one million bugs on the way.
Amazing discovery!

The article claims that many cars are declared "salvage" merely due to Tesla's expensive repairs, which they claim is caused by their (unique?) restrictions on parts availability. As such, Tesla would arguably be responsible for the fact that the cars are "salvage" in the first place.

I'm strongly in favor of greater re-use of these enormous machines that require intense capital investment, and valuable and limited resources to create.
