FWIW the situation is not quite as bad as Linus implies. He may personally dislike GPL3 but that doesn't appear to reflect the opinions of the entire project. A license analysis of the current mainline Linux source shows that roughly 30%-40% files in the kernel are already GPL3 compatible because they're either licensed as GPL-2.0-or-later or dual licensed as MIT or BSD. (I don't have exact statistics on this, it's a rough estimate from a non-exhaustive SPDX audit. You can reproduce by simply grepping through the source for license identifiers) This can happen because individual kernel developers can contribute using whatever license they like as long as it's compatible with GPL2 for a binary distribution. Additionally, Linus and several other kernel developers did decide to adopt the termination provisions from GPL3 not too long ago [0].

Based on this, I don't think it's accurate to say that the kernel developers are currently opposed on the whole to GPL3, or at least to some of the ideas in it anyway. If the stance of some developers was "we'll upgrade the license if you remove all the extra provisions except the termination ones" then it seems obvious why that is a no-go from the perspective of everyone else.

Hi Chris. Thank you so much for chiming in! Lots of families that I know use Life360, and really love the peace of mind that it provides them. The success of Life360 in this space is what gave me the courage to actually follow through and implement as much of Zood Location as I have.

> What we have found is that the average customer doesn't really understand privacy. They would likely not understand the difference between this and any website that puts the "256 bit SSL encryption" blurbs on checkout.

I totally agree with you. I'm just focusing on building an easy to use service, and the cherry on top will be the privacy guarantees, and right now that guarantee is a big deal because I'm introducing it to folks on HN. :)

> Even if I wanted to sell user data, there wouldn't be anything to sell.

You might be surprised. You wouldn't need to sell user data, but there certainly is something of value from the cloud offering you (and your users!) should be aware of.

The logs of location sharing uploads and queries contain two pieces of information that together would allow for certain types of analytics:

* Approximate location even from partially redacted IPs (via geoip lookup)
* Timestamp of action

The value of that information is not in individual users or their data. It's in their aggregate behaviour in locations over time. Want to know where privacy-aware users are more likely to be found? Or how about where the trend of privacy awareness is increasing or decreasing?

The people who are actively aware of their privacy are more willing to pay for good services. That's a marketing cohort all by itself.

NOTE: I'm writing this with my DPO hat on, because even if the impact assessment for using this kind of service would be pretty simple, it would not be a no-op.
IMO, there are good arguments for keeping places open, virus be damned. But if you refuse to wear a mask and protest mask mandates, you're either selfish or an idiot. Probably both.

Replying sincerely: It matters the same way as your own opinion matters to the rest of us.

And consequences? In this case, probably none. We're here for news and entertainment, and reasoning about topics such as this one is enjoyable to me. But lively discussions and their takeaways can inform future arguments and decisions.

But in more general terms, I am a member of the electorate in my country, and misattributions and/or bad or even fake evidence quite often have direct influence on policy. E.g. I was quite happy that I, along with a majority of my fellow citizens, did not believe the "conclusive" "evidence" of WMDs in Iraq the US had put forth, and stayed out of that war.

Not much, but in our setup the image is not something which can evolve or change over time. This practice has some very practical reasons though.

Scientific applications can be very picky about the libraries they use or need, down to minor version since the results they produce are very, very precise. Even if not very accurate, you need to know the inaccuracy. An optimization in a math library can change this and, it's not something we want. Also program verification and certification generally includes versions of the libraries used.

Piecewise upgrades are a no go too. Your cluster generally can't work well in heterogeneous configurations (due to library mismatches) and draining a node is not a straightforward task (due to length of the jobs). If your cluster has a steady stream of incoming jobs, reducing resources also means queue bloat and recovering it is not easy sometimes. If you want to drain the whole cluster, it takes almost 2-3 weeks so, you lose ~1 month of productivity. When you start an empty cluster to churn its queues, its saturation takes time so, it doesn't go to 11 directly.

Also, worker nodes are highly isolated from the user's point of view. No users can log-in, only known people submit jobs, etc. Unless there's a rogue academic trying to do nefarious things, the place is pretty safe and worry-free. In past 15 years, we got two rootkit infections due to a server which can be world-accessible by design. Other than that, nothing ever got infected.

At the end of the day, this approach has some valid reasons to be alive. It's not that we're a bunch of lazy academics who refrain from applying good system administration practices. :D

Addendum: The images generally get updated when new hardware is added, since new processors tend to work better with newer kernels. Also sometimes we bit the bullet and update all the cluster at once. XCAT helps a lot in this space. If your image is sane, you can install batches of 150+ servers in 15 minutes while sipping your coffee.
> This feels like the geek version of DRM fallacies or the fallacies that governments believe about encryption. Somehow, there continue to be threads full of arguments that amount to "It should be possible for 'good' network admins to intercept traffic from devices that don't trust them, but 'bad' network admins shouldn't be able to intercept traffic from devices that don't trust them". That's fundamentally not possible; any mechanism usable by 'good' network admins can be used by 'bad' network admins. (Leaving aside that 'good' and 'bad' are relative.) And worse, people get so invested in their local network interception that once it becomes clear that isn't possible, some will start arguing that their local network interception is more important than general Internet security.

That's not the distinction at all.

It's that you should be able to set up interception on the local network at install time, but all other interception should be blocked. It's extremely possible.

Based off of this article, the management of Galileo sounds like a bit of a mess (seems consistent with their handling of the major "oopsie" last year)

One thing I'm curious about is, for receivers which handle the new satellites correctly, how do they impact the accuracy? I would imagine that sats in an eccentric orbit would be beneficial for the VDOP (measurement of how well a constellation's geometry will impact accuracy of elevation calculations)

Good tip, and I learnt some new terminology too ("fault lines").

I guess the trick when building new monoliths is to identify these fault lines up front - as opposed to hopefully finding them later.

If you dismiss criticism of a policy on the basis that the discriminatory effect is only due to an upstream disparity, it's pretty easy to lather-rinse-repeat a few times until you can conclude that it's someone else's problem to solve, and no change is required on your part.

The big problem with fusion is the enormous costs associated with producing energy. I guess we need to generate large amounts of energy to justify the expenditures.

I'm not a fan of this sentiment. Sometimes things are just really f'ing hard, and no amount of "pushing people" is going to change the reality of how long those things take.

I mean, if you look at both Tesla and SpaceX, nothing they've done was thought to be "impossible" from the outset from a scientific perspective. Electric cars already existed when Tesla was started, and we've been shooting rockets into space for decades. This isn't at all meant to minimize the huge achievements of those companies, but the science was never really in question.

Viable fusion is simply much harder.

If customer is in India and your yearly turnover is less thN 20Lac you still do not need Gst. Its complicated. Just build your Saas and get bootsteaped to 10L revenue, then visit any tax consultant.

You are aware that Trump dramatically expanded the drone wars and loosened targeting criteria on those same drones resulting in far more strikes with far more civilian casualties?[1] The only reason it’s not in the news (besides the constant chaos in the White House sucking up news cycles) is because he also signed an executive order removing the requirement that we report all civilian deaths.[2]

Pretending that Donald “Take out the Terrorists’ families” Trump is a some kind of dove is a new one, especially when he’s still trying to attack Iran during his final lame duck days in office.

fopen() worked. It's just no files are bundled as-is in an APK. Files must be embedded into a resource-like asset file which could not be opened by fopen(). If a library your app linked to had to call fopen() and other POSIX file APIs for these files, you were f*cked up and ended up unzipping files.

Automatic numbering in Word is a nightmare. A separate list created pages before will continue its numbering onto a new list several pages behind. I always type lists as #1,#2,#3 as a crosshatch+digit does not call automatic numbering. Even if you turn it off, a collaborator might turn it back on, resulting in chaos.

In using Word with long documents, I'm reminded of pilots' early criticism of Airbus software, "What's it doing now?"

relating to a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state.

The word “totalitarian” has a meaning—the root “total” reflects the intrusion of government and enforcement of behavioral norms in every facet of life.

Even snooping on the content of everyone’s calls, which the US never did, wouldn’t make it a “totalitarian state.” Snooping in everyone’s calls and prosecuting everyone who said anything bad about the President would be closer to the real meaning of the word.
You have the market forces backwards. People don't avoid the lockouts, the lockouts shape people into a particular behavior. For example, look at Apple's ridiculous levels of anti-repair nonsense - it is designed specifically to make it harder for non-Apple technicians to properly repair a device. These lockouts have legal force thanks to... rather prevalent misreadings of DMCA 1201 that make large companies unwilling to design circumvention tools for these sorts of things.

Granted, all of these are legal problems that need to be remedied with judicious case law and acts of Congress. However, so is the concept of software copyrightability itself. (CONTU fucked up, software should have been sui generis.) The whole point of the GPL was to legally construct something like a public domain dedication that subsequent derivative works couldn't reverse. The idea was that software would always serve the user (or be modifiable to do so). If you look at the GPL in that light, TiVoization is a clear circumvention of licensing intent.

Given that the FSF came first, I'm not entirely sure I'm OK with calling anti-TiVo a "short-term" concern. It's more like protecting the users of the software and ensuring developers are able to collaborate under equitable terms are both long-term concerns that are occasionally in conflict with one another.

(FWIW, most of those lockouts wouldn't actually qualify for 1201 protection in isolation. However, they often are tied to systems that would. Nobody builds a separate repair lockout and DRM system - they build one system that prohibits both use cases. Even when the law agrees that you're allowed to break the part of the lock that keeps you from swapping parts on a tractor, it doesn't let you distribute the tools to do so if that lockout also enforces a copyright owner's licensing intent. So, for example, it's legal to jailbreak a phone to make Touch ID work, but that jailbreaking tool you used is still illegal because someone might use it to pirate iOS games.)
You're living in a very sheltered bubble if you think that any more than a very small minority of people are "well beyond material scarcity".

That titanium switch plate is cool though.

Oddly enough I think the fact that I see comments like yours so frequently is the biggest possible endorsement of his no-reporting policy. The amount of praise Trump receives for being 'anti-war', despite ample evidence to the contrary, is a good lesson for future establishments on the negative effect of transparency in such matters.
