The difficulty is that RHEL isn't a GPLed work. It's a mix of free software under various licenses and logos and other oddball things that are protected by trademark or copyright and are non-free (the non-free part is mostly icons and images identifying the system as RHEL). There isn't a lot of that, but it all has to be separated out to be legal to redistribute. If you go through all the work to do that, you wind up with the equivalent of CentOS. But RHEL's customers don't have the incentive to do that work.

I don't think the participation in this suit of run-of-the-mill republicans is suspicious, but the person to whom I replied isn't one, he's a prominent right-wing ideologue. Hoover Institution, Manhattan Institute, and founded what I think can be accurately described as the alt-right ad network. Perhaps this person was simply consulted as an expert in the ad business, but as I said initially, it does nothing to counter the idea that this suit originates from the smoky backrooms of right-wing think tanks.

Too many HN users have no idea how businesses operate outside the software sector. Many of those "non-essential" businesses and the associated supply chains are simply not set up in a way that can be stopped and then successfully restarted months later. If they're shut down for any significant period then they're gone for good. Crashing the economy into another Great Depression would kill more people than the virus. There has to be a sensible balance.
How to get better at managing up
Not how I'd choose a microcontroller. I would pick ... a BBC Micro:bit.

Why? Three reasons:

* Ecosystem

* Ecosystem

* Standardization

Having the same microcontroller (or small set of microcontrollers) in my house makes maintenance a lot easier and cheaper. Have an ecosystem around me means there's a ton of code to reuse.

I went from:

* Non-standard junk; to

* PIC, briefly; to

* Atmel (switching to standardized Arduino boards when those came out); now to

* Micro:bit

I'd recommend the same to others. Standardize. The past two decades were Atmel, and I recently switched to Micro:bit. More isn't merrier.

Even within a series, standardize. Pin compatibility, plug compatibility, etc. is all a big deal. The most painful projects are ones where I have a one-off oddball part where I can't find an IDE two decades later. The most pleasant ones are where I have a half-dozen standard Micro:bits at home, and if I fry something, or need a second of something, I can just make it.

What's your proposed enforcement mechanism? Where I live in the puget sound region, there's no regular inspections on vehicles, because my county doesn't require emission checks, and WA doesn't have a periodic safety inspection, so a tire check program would be a totally new thing.

It seems to me that trying to figure out if that chemical can be replaced with something else, and if that something else is safe would be priority one. Priority two would be trying to filter the urban runoff somehow (which is probably a positive for many other pollutants). Getting people to switch their tires a little sooner seems like too much effort for too little gain; tires are going to wear out or get too old and be replaced anyway, and there's a lot of cars from out of the area.

Maybe, you could do a rebate program to encourage people in the area to update a little sooner.

Personal anecdote, probably irrelevant. When we were kids in the 80s, we bicycled to school. My parents heard about bike helmets (which were pretty new at that time) and bought them for us. I kept mine on the back rack, because I thought they were utterly uncool.

Then one day, a guy wasn't paying attention, ran a stop-sign at high speed when we were still in the intersection, and hit my sister's bike's front wheel. There was no way she could have gotten out of his way.

I can still hear the THWACK of her helmet hitting the pavement. The helmet did its job, and absorbed the impact by cracking. She got out of the experience with a few days of pain.

I've always worn a helmet after that.
Nonsense.

Make a thought experiment and imagine that each new major GTK (or Qt) version had a different name. You'd still have old GTK, which wouldn't be maintained anymore as the devs moved on, and new NTK or whatever, which would be what was still developed and used these days. Somewhat similar to old GTK since that was its roots, yet distinct.

And that's exactly what happens, they just reuse the name because well, why wouldn't they. You can still use GTK2 just like you can use Win32 API, but nobody does modern apps in either GTK2 or Win32 API or expects them to smoothly blend into modern desktop these days.

Not even speaking about the fact that The GIMP is a very special case that makes it probably the hardest GTK app to port to newer versions in existence.

Yes, which often makes OpenPGP a bad choice, because of how it has to authenticate things (requiring multiple passes). Many implementations of OpenPGP will happily release unauthenticated plaintext to the caller (and then fail at the end when the MAC fails- too late if you piped that to tar!) - there isn't an efficient way to do better than this with OpenPGP, because...well, it isn't very good.

My bad! Typed too fast late at night.

I think this is a really nice tool for information synthesis. Instead of manually finding info to think about, it appears naturally, and improves the quality of your writing and thought.

However, for this to work, it needs to find information relevant not just to the last sentence, but your entire of thought. This is better-represented by prior paragraphs than the current sentence.

Further, you probably already know what you’re going to write about, so you could “pre-seed” the results with special words. And if you’re looking for something that’s not appearing, you’d need to search for it.

I don't think anybody is against CentOS being an onboarding ramp to paid RHEL deployments.

CentOS is actually Red Hat's greatest advertisement

If IBM Red Hat wanted to push for RHEL upgrades, they should have changed the CentOS support window from 10 years to 3-5 years. If they had to wind back the EOL for CentOS date from 2029, they should have at least move it back to eg, 2024 not 2021.

> I disagree with this characterization of "well-regulated;" the relevant Federalist goes into detail on how a state could organize its militia. Simply giving people the capacity to show up with guns is not what the preamble means.

Well-regulated includes well-armed and that is what it means in context. How I would put it in modern language:

It's important that a large portion of the populace can be called upon to fight against threats to freedom and society. To ensure that the citizens are prepared to do so, they must be allowed to keep and practice with weapons of war.

Personally, I'm fine with discussing a repeal of the 2nd amendment; it's a perfectly valid question if it makes sense in a modern context. But that question is mostly academic since it's so politically unlikely to happen as it has broad support and the evidence against it isn't supermajority-level.
> I think this is a poor characterization because you need to consider the source of both gross and net revenue.

I agree with this wholeheartedly.

From earlier upthread (forrestthewoods-0):

> Apple makes about 60 billion a year in the profit. The 10 billion they get from Google constitutes 16% of their annual profit. That’s significant!

This is the contentious part.

Some of the $10B from Google needs to be allocated against the cost centres that enable the sale, in order to account for it correctly. To put it another way, the marginal cost of this revenue is insignificant but the capital costs are significant.

It is worthwhile to consider marginal and capital costs separately, but it's not reasonable to ignore those upfront costs when making an argument - it comes across as "playing funny buggers with figures" (wyattpeak-1).

So I generally agree with your points, but also agree with people who say you need to factor in the non-marginal costs required to generate the Google revenue.

As a meta point, your comments on goal post moving (while potentially correct - I'm not making a comment on correctness here) don't add to your argument, your argument makes sense without them (and in my opinion would come across better if you left them out).

It's interesting how exercise machines are starting to become game input devices and online class portals. Peloton obviously deserves a lot of credit for popularizing the idea, but the hardware required to do similar things outdates Peloton.

e.g. Pretty much any Concept2 rower you see in a gym or home that has been made in the last couple decades has a monitor that can provide realtime data to a computer via USB. I have one of these in my home that is older than Peloton but still connects to a computer just fine. If you actually have a Concept2 rower so old that it doesn't have USB, you can always upgrade the monitor (Concept2 sells upgrades).

The hardware has been under our noses for a long time, but it seems like we're only just now starting to make decent software to make use of it, although I'd say rowers are still a bit behind at present. It does seem like an under-served market.

Maybe it's a bit too obvious to spell it out, but

1. Red Hat Inc. does not want people to build and/or distribute gratis RHEL8 or clones. It would be trivial to just put the actual RHEL8 iso as an unsupported download on their ftp/www server and sell the support separately, like Oracle or Canonical do. Instead, they kept this ridiculous make work project called CentOS around, that involved non-trivial manual labor meticulously rebranding RHEL into RedHat owned CentOS-the-laggard-RHEL-clone, whose users apparently mainly value it for being as close to RHEL as possible without paying. To a distant observer, the whole setup looks quite absurd. I think it's actually good that they finally put an end to it. But they should have either not started CentOS 8 at all or rode it out till the end. Pulling the plug at 20% of it's lifetime is plainly a shitty move.

2. It appears that building a legal RHEL8+ clone is quite a task, and I'm guessing the amount of work involved is largely controlled by Red Hat Inc. I.e., they can make running/maintaining a project like Rocky or others more and more expensive if they choose to. I believe they going to test the limits of how difficult they can make building from their sources within the boundaries of the GPL. If you think I'm wrong, just put up a mirror of the RHEL8 (not CentOS8) SRPMs and see how long it stays up. Clearly they're not acting in the spirit of the GPL, even if they are in the letter.

3. Given the previous points, I believe any project like Rocky is a losing proposition. If the "community" really values enterprise stability so much, better put the effort into an extra-stable-extra-LTS fork of Debian or even Ubuntu, and preparing for transition away from RHEL. Or just pay up, if you really believes the RHEL stability is so valuable. Clone projects are by necessity extremely dependent on actions of Red Hat Inc which has largely opposite interests. I don't know why people would volunteer for that.

That sounds like a strawman argument. If you don't wear a helment while doing activity A, why wear it while doing activity B.

To answer your question, perhaps because the common factor in all of these activities is that I am moving relatively slowly and my surroundings are basically stationary. These factors are void if I am riding a bike (or a motorcycle), where I might be moving at a few mph and there could be vehicles around me that might be moving even faster.
Physical troubles lead to being not athletic, which leads to mortality. For example: a bad knee joint prevents most exercise, leading to obesity and then onward to diabetes and heart failure.

Physical activity sometimes causes those physical troubles. Injury can turn an athlete into very much not an athlete.
The requirement to distribute source means you have to provide the exact source for any binary that you distributed, for three years. And the source is defined as " the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it". A pointer to the upstream tarball plus a poorly organized directory with 58 patches in it isn't "the preferred form of the work ...". SRPMs are an easy way to make sure that you got it right, that the source really corresponds to be binary. Attempting to add speed bumps risks getting it wrong and providing a way for pissed-off developers to make trouble.

There's a bit of a false dichotomy. When I was a C++ developer, I always edited in Emacs and used other tools (e.g. Visual Studio) for the convenience features. No one insists you have to use one or the other.

Having said that, people who use Emacs primarily for coding are likely not going to stick to it. Emacs is a text editor. Programming is merely one use case amongst many.

> Signal isn't just more convenient; it's also more secure than your PGP encrypted emails.

Sure, but person to person email is not the only or even primary (for me) use case for GPG/PGP encryption.

The second line of the linked article says: " ... and a program to verify detached signatures geared towards software distribution systems called sqv." - a use case for which Signal is completely useless.

Signal is great for what it does, so long as you're prepared to accept it's current "needs to use real phone numbers and spams your Signal signup to everyone with your phone number in their contact list" behaviour. But keep in mind those are thew tradeoffs it's making for key distribution (and not everybody considers them to be "the right" tradeoffs). PGP/GPG ket distribution is a complete mess, which is why it's such a poor thing for cold-call person to person encrypted messages (even ignoring all the unencrypted metadata issues), BUT there's no way for me to use Signal in a bunch of scripts mailing database backups from servers, or to send intrusion detection notification emails, or to verify software repo downloads. Those are all areas where PGPs key distribution nightmare are not problems, and where PGP's "old school" long lasting keys are less of a problem. And there's _lots_ of those kinds of things in the world using PGP right now. new clean PGP implementations are a good thing for those - even though I'm not about to get all 1994 again and start emailing my friends using PGP...
