IIRC in most cases it wasn’t so much that anyone actively disagreed with the licensing change, as that it was infeasible to even get in contact with the literally thousands of contributors — especially since many of them have left no contact details that could be used for legal correspondence.

Imagine a country with direct democracy, where a 100% consensus of all citizens is required for any law to be passed. Now imagine that a single citizen of that country decides to go live in the mountains, out of contact with the rest of the country, but still legally alive and legally a citizen, and therefore legally a "required" vote. The legislative process grinds to a halt!

This is, of course, why no government is run that way. And it's equally silly to run a FOSS project that way. Even if literally everybody likes some change, just one contributor failing to get in contact means you're stuck without the ability to make the change.

Didn't trump already sue and then have to withdraw the case? If so, what is this?

Why does it say "Texas vs", is texas suing?

Edit: Yes, it is Texas, the state. They're also suing 3 other states in the same complaint. And they've made a spelling/grammar mistake and misused i.e. And they seem very light on detail. Is this serious?

They also allege other states did the exact same things they did (preferential treatment of areas voting the way the state government leans) which is hypocritical. I thought texas was classier than that.

Sorry, I find this whole process baffling to be honest...
Claiming the grandparent wasn't talking about retail is just wrong.

You really think they're not talking retail?

Not to mention the fact that no one claimed any of those things are moving online:

The antifraud system is completely inexistent, they didn't even verify social security numbers so even babies got unemployment. That's so ridiculous..

Those jobs are, but regular people have dangerous stalkers, are subject to harassment at their homes, or just want the peace of mind of some extra privacy, too.

No one's arguing that judges shouldn't have protection, it's just that the same protections should be available to everybody else. Limiting these projections to judges & police officers only really helps marketers and sleazy peoplesearch websites, etc.

The answer is - it depends.

If you own the device(s) (your internet connection, phone or a colo), and it is someone else's network - you want security.

If it's a device (smart tv, media player, iot) that you don't "own" on your network you want control.
Re: C# and especially F#, unfortunately the runtime they run on supports nullable references front-and-center, so even if your code doesn't use nullable references, the standard library and your dependencies will.

Of course you can write translation code at the boundaries between your code and the other code to convert `OtherCode.MightBeNullType` to `OtherCode.MightBeNullType option`, but that still doesn't help for `OtherCode.MightBeNullType`'s fields unless you redefine all the types and write conversion functions for all of them.

Reason behind the attack. Good read. Basically the attacker, a lawyer, had sued the army to allow women to register for draft, and felt that the female judge was delaying the case. He was fighting for the women's right to be treated equally when it comes to drafting.
I probably would think it was too. But instead of just guessing I looked it up. It's not. Not even close.

It's so far away from being risky, in fact, that having people in the field intentionally lying means I think they are lying for a specific reason and I think people should be concerned about that.
> “how can lawyers defend people who do such horrible things”

It's perhaps worth noting that (in the UK at least), that should never happen, at least in the sense of a defence lawyer trying to get a "not guilty" verdict for a defendant they know is guilty:

"It's obviously unethical and illegal for a lawyer to deceive a court knowingly. If my client tells me he's guilty, I can't say he's innocent in court. I cannot call him to give evidence that I know is false or I would be a party to his perjury."[0]

Of course I'm sure it does happen all the time, but you don't need to justify a system where lawyers are lying for the benefit of their client, because that's not the system we are meant to have.

"Is Google still primarily an advertising company that tracks its users? Of course."

A primary reason why I would choose open over closed source is the ability to avoid ads and tracking. Can the user remove all the phone home nonsense from Fuschia. Of course not. This defeats the purpose of open source for me -- control. With this, I have to share control over the computer with Google.
Interesting, that's not been my experience.
I want judges to be safe. I also want to understand the motivations of this attacker. Their actions weren't justified, but having a long-running court case that can decide the course of your life can cause many new problems. What level of desperation would cause someone to lash out like this? There will always be unreasonable people, but I wonder if this outcome would have been different if courts did indeed process cases in a timely way. We know it is especially cruel to people who have nothing to defend themselves with.

"The demand for natural gas has declined in Europe during the 2010–2013 period largely due to the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent recession and the migration of manufacturing industry to other world regions, but the lack of population growth and high prices have also contributed to the effect. Although there is currently an oversupply in the market, the trend has already reversed. Asia continuously diverts the LNG production surplus, while the US shale gas with its high variable cost and high sensitivity to LNG market prices cannot currently compete with the cheap Russian gas. The International Energy Agency (2017) forecasts flat demand and an average annual decline of −2.5%for European production. This amounts up to 34 bcm deficit in the 2017–2022 period and possible more in the future. Nord Stream 2 aims to close this gap."

"Providing better education" has been the progressive backstop for the last 100 years. Turns out that marginal returns on additional education are pretty close to zero. This is depressing, but pretty incontrovertible when you compare between A) returns on education in high-expenditure countries like the US vs low-expenditure EU countries (very similar) B) return on education in the same place across time, with the trend usually being that education expenditure goes up over time and educational returns don't change.

Above a certain minimal level of education, demographic outcomes like crime rate seem to be 70-80% predicted by entirely heritable characteristics, with very little environmental interaction.

Good idea. I've found the best way to engage (if you want to engage) is to just take the argument seriously, and ask what kind of society they envision, in detail. It gets awkward quickly.
TD lets you write whatever logic you want (it is fairly unopinionated on your logic and state).

Differential dataflow plugs in certain logic there, and it does indeed maintain a synopsis of what data have gone past, sufficient to respond to future updates but not necessarily the entirety of data that it has seen.

It would be tricky to implement DD over classic Spark, as DD relies on these synopses for its performance. There are some changes to Spark proposed in recent papers where it can pull in immutable LSM layers w/o reading them (e.g. just mmapping them) that might improve things, but until that happens there will be a gap.

This going to be an unpopular opinion I'm sure, but maybe if you are a judge who holds the power to literally destroy lives on a whim with your judgements, you should be fully accountable for those actions. And yes, maybe this means having your personal information public for all to see.

If you make a shitty judgement and destroy someone's life and you end up getting targeted as a result, then maybe you shouldn't have made an unjust judgment and destroyed someone's life. Your judgements should have weight, and shouldn't be made lightly.

Maybe if there was more personal accountability in our justice system then the American judicial system would stop focusing so much on prison profitability and punishment, and would start focusing more on positive concepts like rehabilitation and social support structures?
Yes.

They do support scheduled shipments for a few customers who pay significant premium for that. What they cannot reasonably do is to do internal buffer for their own internal shipping capacity because the whole system simply is not designed for that. There is some somewhat significant and usually unnecessarily large capacity (because it is optimized for through-put, not storage efficieny) for warehousing of in-transit packages, but the current demand is so large that warehousing capacity is the limiting factor.
We'll technically most of the revenue from record sales goes to the label, which they usually use a part of to find and sign new artists (so other artists do benefit).
You're absolutely right. Corporate surveillance can, should, and must be resisted.

It is perhaps worth considering carefully if exposing most people to surveillance they are not equipped to defend against from lots of entities (such as with typical DNS) is an improvement over something like Oblivious DoH. It might even offer some protection against some totalitarian governments in some cases.

Again, you're completely right. Protecting people from corporate surveillance is very important! I just think it might be worth considering that we don't have a perfect answer at the moment, and some subtlety in how we think about this might be in order.
So what's the reason for not extending the proposed protections to all?

Also, the difference here is that the items you describe for the president are proactive measures based on credible threats. Not all judges have credible threats against them. This also wouldn't be a proactive measure - it's just a piece of paper.

According to Wikipedia, 0.20 out of 100,000 people died of guns in 2015, of which only 0.02 are homicides. As for the US - 12.21 out of 100,000 total, 4.46 homicides.

Seems like British criminals do have a really hard time finding guns.
Same. I was looking for a fairly niche item in November (something that would likely be handmade), and everything I saw was essentially a drop-shipped mass production item.

That is not what I wanted. I wound up buying from an Amazon shop because... well :shrug:

Now, 3 years ago it was not even close to that. Maybe 10%, 20% of sellers. Today it seems like 95% of it is drop-shipped goods.

If I wanted that, I'd go to Aliexpress.

I think, tbh, Etsy will have to kick these shippers out, or rebrand. I know it used to be real rough to move goods in enough volume to have substantial success, but this is wildly different.

Ask HN: Early employee at startup, feels like I'm being phased out
Hey HN, I'm an early employee at a startup, I helped build half of it and founder has said to me that my role has been extremely important in the growth.

We had a very successful exit not long ago and now I feel like I'm being phased out by other later hired employees.

One particular employee in marketing has decided to basically hand over my job to other people and although I'm still fully responsible and the only one doing what I do - i.e I'm told "you will do this" without being asked on my input on how/if it should be done. There are meetings without me where this is decided.

Since I'm close to the founder and he seems oblivious, I tried to calmly tell him using facts what the situation is and how I feel about it. The only thing I'm getting as replies are "yes right", "I'll check what happened" and so on.

On the bright side - I've been promised my own team and given the ability to hire it and I'm happy about that.
I've been told that I can work on more interesting things - like the ones I've started working with, not fixing boring bugs or doing copy-paste code.

The issue I'm having is that the other employees are doing decisions which I'm being kept out of the loop and which are directly related to my role and that makes the work environment toxic.

And I've also been burned out for a long time and having serious health issues due to that.

Since the exit was very successful, I can afford to quit and not work for at least 10 years. What's stopping me is that I'm doing work that I love and that is a passion of mine.

What do you suggest - quit, take a long break, talk to founder again?

edit: I'm in my 20s
The difference when there are ubiquitous firearms and not is the level of fear and nervousness among strained relations. Any division is amplified then. All it takes is someone to lose it and it’s a cheap solution. And everyone knows it. The communities you speak of are a division.

I worked for a large defence contractor in the US for a number of years and got to see the contrast in professional and personal relations between their European and American employees. It’s scary when you see.
Iterating Faster with Open-Source
The article explains his motivations. Apparently he was driven by his ideology rather than personal desperation. From the article:

Roy Den Hollander, a New York lawyer who had filed a suit against the male-only military draft, harbored deadly grudges. On July 11, 2020, he killed a lawyer in California. Eight days later, he came to our door and killed Daniel. Too late, I learned that he had often described himself as “anti-feminist.” In a self-published memoir, he described me as “a lazy and incompetent Latina judge appointed by Obama.”
I don't think that's quite right. I will absolutely defend that the Second Amendment was crafted so the citizens retain the power to take up arms against the state, but that is a very different thing from "extrajudicial reprisal."

The Second Amendment absolutely protects the ability of citizens to declare their government invalid, set up their own, and defend themselves. It does so because citizens already have that right - as argued in the Declaration of Independence ("it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"), and later codified in things like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The task of the Second Amendment is not to codify that right; it is to codify a right to a mechanism by which the citizens may protect the right to self-determination of government, which is more fundamental but only theoretical if an unwanted government comes at you with guns.

There is no right to extrajudicial reprisals against individual members of the government. The Second Amendment does not recognize one, nor does anything else in the Constitution, nor does any other well-accepted document about rights. There is a right to invoke the structures of the government to redress grievances and to hold judges and other officials responsible for abuse of their office, and there is a right to oppose the government wholesale if they refuse. But that is still a defensive right. If a corrupt judge wants to take your land, and corrupt police try to make it happen, you need a means to defend yourself, sure.

But I cannot find any reason to believe that the authors of the Constitution would have said that an appropriate check on government power is the risk that members of the government would have their family members killed in reprisal - the risk that people would be deprived of life (or even liberty or property) without due process of law.

Yes, if you exercise the seond option, the offer would be open to any 3rd party (i.e. it's a public server / URL).

But you only have to give the offer to whomever you give the object/executable to. So you tell them "you can get the source from foo://bar.baz/phaf" ... this just has to be a publically accessible address with no additional authentication or authorization. You are not required to announce this in any way other than in the written offer which accompanies the object/executable.

So, although in theory any third party has access to the source code, you are not being required to put it in a publically visible location, merely a publically accessible one.

[EDIT: I was saying that GPLv3 also does not have transitivity,so we agree about that ]

[EDIT: I admit that I am misleading in my final sentence ... yes, any third party has the right to access the source code, but you are not required to notify "any third party" of this fact, only those you gave the object/executable to. ]
Intellectual property is a state enforced monopoly that interferes with market forces. In a purely market driven world “locked down” phones would be harder to create/enforce.
