And I would add that - seemingly - to reduce the amount of bacteria a very high concentration is needed for long periods.

I found this "experiment"[1], this is about cleaning/disinfecting a room, by starting an ozone generator in a closed room, keep the ozone level at a certain value for a given time, then switch off the generator and wait at least one hour before re-entering the room:

https://www.ozonetech.com/sites/default/files2/pdf/Ozone_dis...

BTW such a high concentration is likely to affect contents of the room, ozone can accelerate oxydation of most metals and rubber.

[1] it looks like a scientific paper, but it is not AFAIK published and actually comes from the site of a firm making ozone generators, so I would take results about the effectiveness with a pinch of salt, but I don't see how the dangers implied can have been overstated
With counterfeit cartridges the printing behaviour may change, leading to the almost-invisible tracking dots on each page that encode the printers serial number, the cartridges serial number, time of day, etc to either become too visible or too invisible.

Also, with different ink your printer might print content with a different color profile, so it won't look the same, and it might need to clean the printing heads more often (and the cleaning tech for that is often only designed for a limited amount of uses).

But while all these are legitimate reasons, projects like Instant Ink show the true reason is to just turn the printer into a subscription product: buying a printer at a loss, and making a profit with every page printed.

I can second this. I bought a $120 laser printer years ago for college. It's been extremely solid, I've only needed to replace toner once and it was cheap. It can sit for months unused without getting clogged or become unusable.

If you print sporratically and don't need to print pictures, then it's perfect.
IoT is embedded plus an internet connection. The internet connection is sometimes a big deal that changes a lot. There have been "run the wire from A to B" networks of controllers since forever, but with an internet connection the number of links grows as N instead of N^2, and you can connect to nodes around the world with no additional cost. For some applications, that's hugely significant.

Internet protocol is huge and unweildy, but since you can buy standard components and install free software to handle it, it gains another huge advantage over the "100 serial protocols" world of yesteryear.

> - The Pijul front page (https://pijul.org) has a prominent link in the middle that points to their source code hosting service, Nest. That page has always been dog slow. It takes multiple seconds for that page to open, and then it shows me "Not found". Maybe I should log in to view the code? There is a "Sign in" form at the top right of the page, so maybe I should do that. Where's the registration button?

The Nest is still experimental (which explains the downtime), but you shouldn't need to sign in order to view any code there.

> - The project got renamed to Anu. A couple of days ago I tried to visit that page (https://anu.dev), and I wasn't able to find any source code there. I just tried to go there again and the page is offline.

Right, there have been really strong reactions against that move. As a person who carefully listens to HackerNews and Twitter comments for life advice (as one should), I decided to revert that move.

More seriously, I noticed it was distracting from the main point. But then I managed to find another distracting thing, by writing a rant about occurrences of plagiarism that have happened to me, including theft of actual GPL source code, as well as republication of academic papers (in one case, I was fortunate enough to be picked for review).

> - As BlackFingolfin pointed out, the blog post has a "Warning about licenses" at the top. Even though I don't think that's how the GNU GPL works, it's already a big motivator for me to simply close that tab. I do work in the area of data storage myself. Would I want to put myself at legal risk, just because I want to try an experimental VCS?

That is clearly not what I meant, and I'm deeply sorry about this.

> - Why isn't there an official Git mirror of Pijul/Any? Sure, it's awesome if those tools can host themselves, but what about being able to set it up quickly? Pijul/Any is written in Rust. Doesn't Cargo depend on being able to 'git clone' software for it to be installable?

Until there are packages in linux distributions, you can get it with `cargo install pijul --version 1.0.0-alpha`. You would need cargo to compile it from source anyway.
> If an OSS project needs funding, maybe it’s best to just offer it commercially in the first place?

There’s quite a lot of overhead involved in running a business relative to an open source project, and this is probably not the kind of work that an open source developer would find fulfilling. Additionally, even if the developer is also able and willing to quit his job to bootstrap his business, that overhead adds to the cost of the software. On the other hand, it would be easy enough IMO to get companies to set aside $20K/year (give or take based on the size of the business) and task a few principal engineers with divvying it out among their open source projects. That would be a pittance for companies but it would be a big infusion for open source.

The last few months I've spent building a flavor pairing website, inspired by my wife's need for dessert flavor pairings.

I crawl various recipe sites to figure out what flavor combinations are commonly and not so commonly used. I also categorize the flavors so you can color match, or match for certain events.

The pairings are divided into three major kitchens - "sweet", "savory" and "cocktails".

Of course the amount of flavor pairings, and the number of flavors themselves will increase over time.

Ok. As you'd expect, this is not a novel idea.

I did reread some of the seminal documents, refresh my memory. Free vs open, libre vs gratis.

I now lean towards dual and maybe three-fold licensing. Free for non commercial use. Open for others. Something something for cloud service providers.

I can't yet guess what that something something will look like. My hunch is it'll be analogous to music royalties and publishers rights.

Mostly, I want some boilerplate deals and heuristics, so that people can frame their arguments, instead of reinventing the wheel each round.
You might see that as “volatile”, but I think I can see what he’s getting at. A charitable reading of his whole stance:

• We can enter into a formal contract where I actually do owe you work-on-this-project in exchange for pay;

• but without such a contract, donations to me are just that — donations — and don’t influence my work;

• but this is an open-source project, so you’re free to put whatever work you like into it, and keep/use/share the results (in your own space, that I don’t have to referee.)

• I’ll just be over here, doing what I want, unless/until someone makes a contract with me to do what they want. (Which, of course, they’re not obligated to do; they could just as well hire someone else to fork and maintain the project, rather than hiring me. That’s their choice.)

• So, in short, you’re not the boss of me; unless you’re literally my boss. (A patron is not a boss.)

That's blatantly false. The Constitution only protects against government action. Until the civil war amendments, it did so almost exclusively for the federal government; it now also does so for state governments, but it doesn't extend beyond that.

Indeed.

And this is why 'free' is a very bad adjective to use in this context. IMHO 'libre' is way better.
"it will likely be months before doses start going"

Where do you get that it will take "months" between emergency approval and actual vaccinations? The communications out of the leading vaccine teams clearly state otherwise.
What I am saying is: 1) No one tried to check the suffiency response by attempting to reinfect the person, because that would grossly unethical; unless there was such attempt, we cannot say anything about the reponse, it even might have been cross-reaction from common cold antibodies 2) Even if there was the response, there was high chance of ADE. It does not matter was that immunity acquired through vaccination or natural infection; ADE does not pick and choose; weak immunity causes worse response than no immunity. Having said that, SARS-CoV-2 does not seem to produce ADE.

There are so many ways to do this I can't even list them here.

You can store songs locally on your iPhone, or upload them to a cloud-based service if you've got a full terabyte of them.

But the idea that an iPhone can't play your music files simply isn't true. Also you can buy a pretty decent iPhone for a few hundred bucks too, that will last longer than your Android one. The only iPhone "well over a thousand" is the high-end flagship model.
Is it just me or the name is a wee bit insensitive?
I used to think this way as well, as for me, the phone is just a thing that's somewhat useful but definitely not my main compute device. Within the past couple of years though I have seen where the smart phone is the only compute device a person (family) may have. No internet connection at home, so data is only available via phone. I was shocked at how prevalent this actually is.
My eyes kind of open wide reading this, as if I’m reading a caricature of tech’s 1%. Back in Oakland, I had neighbors who had a sprinter van that they’d used before COVID, and they simply went on a very-extended road trip.

In a nutshell, I think maybe these people are trying to make it a bit too magical. Back when hackers and entrepreneurs were poorer and we had to work out of coffee shops, and not coworking spaces, it was obvious to everyone that reliable wifi was a must.

I broke away from the Bay myself, but I tried places out before settling in, because there are too many unknowns that you don’t know until you have stayed in a place. The lack of pragmatism in these stories is very not-engineering-like.
Yes. As someone with absolutely no vested interest in anyone buying brother printers, I can confirm that my brother printer has worked for years, the ink lasts apparently forever, and I'm finally beginning to unlearn the feeling of dread and uncertainty I instinctively have whenever I think to myself, "Man, I really need to print this out."

Yes but... no one is dumping anything remotely random here :)

It's using existing building mechanism in cells to have it build a specific protein that will bind to a specific pathogen.

And lot of clinical tests to try to detect if those proteins being built have other effects than instructing the cells to create the antibodies we want.

It's roughly the same mechanism at work when you inject disabled pathogen and hoping that the cells will produce the same antibodies, it's just a faster, safer, more precise way to induce it.

Heck, it's even the same mechanism that occurs when your cells encounters a wild, random virus, like it may be happening a lot more than you think, and, well, you're still alive :)

By the way, you may be thinking under the assumption that the 'program' is the DNA, and that mRNA vaccines is changing it some way or another, which is not, this is not genetic therapy.
No they make it willfully difficult to customize. Installing applications is not compromising. And stop with strawmen like "Why buy an iPhone if it isn’t what you want? ". The discussion is about the freedom any buyer of any product should have. Fundamental customer rights.
Except my provider isn’t doing any of those things. (I have fiber via Comcast but I’ve also got Verizon available.)

Meanwhile, our other public services kinda suck. I used to ride the Metro to work before pandemic hit. It was designed in the 1970s to be a fully automated system, but the equipment was allowed to deteriorate so much that the automation was turned off permanently in 2009. What used to be a smooth, fast ride when I grew up in DC in the 1990s is now a slow, jerky one. Trip times are also 20-25% longer than they used to be. What used to be 6 minute headways is now 8, because it was too hard to keep up 6 with the manual system. And DC is a very well funded system.

Government Internet would be built by basically the same people. Why would I expect it to be any better?
In my opinion this sounds extremely good. They say that 94 people got covid. We do not know how many of them were from the placebo group and how many were from the vaccinated group. But the wording "was found to be more than 90% effective" probably means that much more than 85 of the covid-patients came from the placebo group. The reason is that they need to be a few standard deviations away from the mean to make such assumptions with high probability. I think probably at most 2 patients of the 94 covid-patients came from the vaccinated group (only then you could make such a statement with high certainty). And that means that probably the vaccine is more than 97% effective. This would be extremely good news. But let's wait for the data.
Sure, I'm not at all surprised that bigcos make bug reports or feature requests from time to time. This one seems like an issue that was also important to Ubuntu, so a good contribution from them? Or no? And it seems like the person was pretty polite about the request?
