The down votes are a bit harsh. Theories of planet formation may be familiar to some of us but clearly not everyone, and if you aren’t intimately familiar with orbital mechanics it might not be obvious that rouge planets are expected to be fairly common.

Only an archive node needs to keep a copy of the entire chain. But every full node needs to download and verify all of it, so it's more a question of bandwidth and time.
It would be nice to be able to so within a day.
It is not clever to call it "a right to expect normality in other people". You have the freedom to have wrong expectations about other people and should not be punished for that, as long as you change your assumptions once you know the persons reality and don't mistreat them for not matching your expectations. And that last part is not that easy because people tend to not verify assumptions, yet act quickly and in hostile ways to perceived failure to fulfill expectations.

Note the closeness of "Expecting someone to do/be something" and notice how many in this thread tell stories of trying to have a normal sleep-cycle, failing, getting shunned by society, being unable to function properly after forcing themselves to conform, feeling wrong, feeling defective, and that over decades, often going back to childhood. People compare it to left-handedness and how our society mishandled those in the past, and are fearful our society might expect them, even consider it normal, to get chemical treatment in the near future. People try to fulfill absurd expectations and suffer from it.

The way you phrased your demand makes you sound ego-maniacal, like you demand a right to mistreat people for not matching your expectation, like you blame your lack of empathy and decency on them being quirky, like you disrespect people for not being normal. Those are the worst interpretations of your words. There is some truth in the best interpretation, i can see that, see the freedom i mentioned above, but that "being disgusted", "anti-social" and "tyrannical" in your now flagged comment doesn't sound like you are "fundamentally respecting everyone" at all.

"24 60-ton Trident missiles". wow, so let's say each has a MIRV with 5 W88 warheads at 500KT each. That's about 120 independently targetable warheads (each 6-7x more powerful than the Fatman nuclear weapon dropped on Nagasaki) per submarine. Wikipedia says they are on 14 Ohio class subs operated by the US. That's 1,680 total but let's say only 75% are operational at a time. So the US Trident II SLBM cocked-locked-ready-to-rock capability is around 1.3K 500KT warheads alone. That's... a lot.

Curious, where did you read the backwards compatibility disclaimer? I couldn't find it, but did find this note:

It's simple - just think about how quickly you'd change your mind about this if it was your worldview that was getting shut down by these platforms.
Not sure about that, the Windows certificate store has been around since forever, perhaps even since Windows NT. The same goes for certificate management in Linux. I think it was mostly because it was far easier for the Java team to roll their own extendable store instead of doing all the platform integration themselves.

I have a Facebook account that dates back to thefacebook.com and needing a .edu email address to register. About three years ago I decided to use a pseudonym on Facebook. Last year my account was disabled for violating community standards, and when I contacted Facebook, the form letter I got back was that Facebook was unable to verify who the account belongs to, and to reply with a picture of a valid ID. No amount of sending an ID, nor explaining I was using a pseudonym without realizing in it was against ToS, nor asking anyone to look at the 15 years of data associated with the account led to anything other than receiving the same form letter, over and over. On the bright side, it turns out I don’t miss Facebook in the end.
Indeed:

Ideally, there would be one car. Ford. Ford would be the only vendor for cars, and Ford would be the only car vendor. We'd have the technology approved by Ford and all of the technology approved by Ford, including black paint, carburetors, tetraethyl lead, and, through a special deal with Radio (formerly RCA), AM radios tuned to Radio, the only Radio company and station in the world.

These vehicles would be simple to maintain, in that the only maintenance option is to ship them to Ford, and simple to customize, in that you cannot.

And anyone who attempts to modify their Ford would be subject to legal penalties, up to and including bomb-making, just as if they'd tried to destroy any other institution.

The war machine brought about some tangible technological achievements (although of course in an incredibly wasteful process), but even more, the arms race was driven by technological progress in civilian economy: all improvements and inventions of civilian economy had to be put into military equipment and forced new generations of planes, tanks, guns.

Market based economies and state sponsored science are pretty solid at bringing about progress and the trillions in military spending that could have reasonably been saved since WW2 would have have lifted all boats and would have provided money for better education, telescopes, particle accelerators and many other things we can't even conceptualize, since so many ressources were squandered.

And regarding ad-tech: similar thing. All that money that goes into it is paid for by us through the products we buy, plus we are manipulated by it so our decisions are all worse. Do away with it and we would have better things all around.

Actually, I often choose PHP over JS, because it has a lot more included in the basic runtime. The stuff I'd have to manage the dependencies for personally in JS, I have access to right away in PHP. Things like email message header formatting/quoting, PDO/database access, curl (easy to underestimate curl, but it supports much more protocols than just HTTP), XML parsing, DOM, CSV parsing, .... A ton of small things that add up in the end to an easier experience, when throwing together some quick project. And all these functions are standard, documented, dependable (all of these are there since 2006 or so, when I started using PHP, at the very least), and don't involve having to pull anything from an internet over npm that can be abandoned at any time by the uploader.

It's perfectly possible to take in software project contributions under license, rather than assignment, without fear of losing rights at the drop of a hat. Apache does it. Eclipse does it. Nearly all the major companies stewarding open projects do it.

I'm not aware of any substantive distinction in the words "revocation", "termination", or the like, except with specific reference to 203. The question is whether you can show license if they plead infringement. In practice, they'll often plead breach, too.

Bare copyright licenses are largely theoretical here. If the terms of a unilateral grant include assurance of irrevocability, thats a strong fact for reliance and estoppel. If there's any question what the terms meant, it will be resolved by rules of contract construction, because it's not a public statute, and contract rules are the rules we have. There is a default rule, when the terms are silent, but it's just a default.

You came so close to realising it, but this is the real reason why Bitcoin can't deliver price stability long term - prices move relative to one another in the real economy. You can't preserve purchasing power by simply limiting money issuance, because exogenous economic shocks are real.

(also, Bitcoin can't prevent the Tether people from printing Tether and buying bitcoin with it ...)

I am truly having trouble understanding how this is a conspiracy theory. The alternative seems to require a massive conspiracy involving foreign intelligence agencies planting false information with true information - I mean, you don’t doubt the pictures, right? Moreover, the “false” information is not anything groundbreaking, it’s almost all the same information already reported by mainstream outlets with a few new bits added. And they somehow convinced other correspondents on the emails to come forward and speak lies? publicly. How is this not conspiratorial thinking?

Do you approach Trump stories with the same level of skepticism? For example, how do we know the tax returns are real? Absolutely nobody has confirmed them except anonymous sources speaking to the NYT.
You can do proof of work based on random memory access for example rather than pure computation. The monetary cost ends up being identical, but it’s much better for the environment.
> All in all it took us under a week to secure the assignments, and any who did not sign we simply rewrote their lines of code, or we would have, but everybody signed.

I've always heard about this possibility but I wonder how one would rewrite code, should the need arise. Wouldn't it be hard to do without effectively making a derivative work?

Suppose that you remove the code, reimplement it but end up with something that's extremely similar to the original (which is very likely since after all you're doing the same thing). Couldn't the original author argue that it's still their code? How do you prove that you did the work and just happened with the same code because that's just the most straightforward way to do it?

It seems like the only way to avoid the problem altogether would be to have some sort of clean room design:

- Dev A reads the code to be removed, writes a spec for the functionality.

- Dev A removes the code.

- Dev B takes the truncated code and the spec and implements the feature.

But that seems very painful to do cleanly, in particular one could argue that B should be a third party who is not intimately familiar with the codebase, otherwise it could be argued that they knew the previous code.
All Brahmins worship gods who are non-Brahmins in their avatar. To say that Brahmins practice caste discrimination is to say that Brahmins discriminate against their own gods. Doesn’t compute.
Yep. It unfortunately takes a lot of writing code to understand that you should not write any code and to become good at not writing code.
For my part, thanks for the measurements! I do intend on trying this when back at a computer. At face value, not seeing anything suspicious on these numbers. Bottom line, do not run a bright screen in the face. Darker colors do look to help, but so does dropping brightness. If worried about your eyes, do both.
The matter we can see only accounts for ~4% of the 'stuff' that orbital mechanics says is there, and the other stuff doesn't interact with light (so no clouds)

There would have to be 25 times as many rogue planets as the mass of all systems, and most of the mass in a system is in its sun, so 25 Earths, Jupiters and Saturns are barely a blip.

Arch definitely has separate packages for runtime and development libraries. It doesn't have as many, but they exist and can be found by simply searching for `-dev`.

Arch has `any` and then architecture specific packages:

>There are still people alive today who were born into a world where we thought there was just one galaxy, and only nine planets anywhere.

It might be a pedantic quibble, but you have the timeline of these discoveries a little messed up. There are people alive today who were born in a world in which we thought there was only one galaxy, but they also thought there were only 8 planets at the time. Hubble proved there were other galaxies a few years before Pluto was discovered. You would have to go back to the 1850s to find anyone who thought there were more than 8 planets and only one galaxy. Back then dwarf planets and large asteroids were all categorized as planets which put us at over 20 planets before there was a reclassification.
Contrary to most people here, I don't think the author of Octotree has much to worry about. While there is a long list of contributors to the project, only 10 have contributed 10 lines of code or more. My understanding is that a change consisting of less than 10 lines of code can be seen as trivial and hence does not need a copyright assignment (at least that's how the FSF handles it, and they're pretty strict with this stuff).

Of these ten people, six were hired to work on Octotree, so he should have copyright for those. The other four together wrote less than 100 lines of code. If he has removed or rewritten these lines, he should be fine. (Even if he hasn't, I would consider this a very minor violation.)
You cannot change the license on code that is copyrighted by another party, unless that other party has already licensed you to do so (e.g a release under version x of some license may permit licensing under the terms of later versions.). The whole point of open source licensing is to prevent future releases from being under more restrictive licenses. Copyright holders always have the option to change their own licensing, but they do not have such freedom if their code is a derivative work, especially if their access to the other work was through an open source license.

Big websites used PHP in the distant past and have a handful of lines running today. PHP is eating the world!

Come on man, you're well aware none of those "web scale" companies are running major portions of their sites on PHP anymore. Well, you should be aware of that.

You can keep fighting for PHP if you want. Don't pretend that it's worse is better nature fifteen years ago somehow made it a good language or that it didn't have major failings.

I wrote a ton of PHP 3 through 5. It was easier to deploy on $10 shared hosting than Perl/CGI and more capable than SSI. That was about it in terms of its advantages at the time. It wasn't easier to write than Perl and in fact had more and less obvious footguns. It's database access was shaky at best and downright dangerous at worst.

The question today is why bother with PHP for greenfield development? It doesn't really offer anything unique or special. You can't really leverage your PHP skills anywhere but web development and really only a subset of that field. So good luck with that.
