Yes but how does changing their license affect a trademark? If they are legally in the right and this is a violation of their trademark they should win their lawsuit about it regardless.

Also my initial question was not purely rhetorical, I would assume "Linux" is also trademarked so I'm wondering what is the difference there and why Redhat selling RHEL has not been the same problem.
It seems to me that people give Microsoft and Google a pass on their BS, but Apple is damned to hell here on HN, with absolute statements like you made.
Okay! What if I can't run my own nextcloud server? I need a consumer solution - a non technical way of making things work.
Do these people believe that anybody actually wants another streaming service? Jeebus. Give it a break already. Partner with an existing service. To a first approximation, zero people want this.
yeah was not able to download it today either
In 1969 the national TV news broadcast in the Netherlands reported that inspectors would be driving through the streets to catch people who hadn't paid their license fee. "Surely people won't be wrapping their tvs in aluminium foil. So we'll catch them!" Aluminium foil was sold out the next day. The date was april 1st.

While I agree in principle, the easiest way to fall for propaganda is to believe yourself immune to it.

I would advocate for a two-track solution where you keep a healthy skepticism but try to be aware of your own pareidolia and possible lack of understanding of certain topics, and accept the idea that we are just jumping from one bubble to another (notice how "question the narrative" people tend to speak and think along the same tropes?)

I don't mean total skepticism of everything for its own sake, but the idea that a person ought to pick their battles carefully and keep reminding themselves that they can't understand the world as easily as they think they do. It's important not to confuse skepticism for insight or critical thought.
I used the words "almost entirely" which is confusing, I will admit. I don't use snap for the same reasons. That said, what's being postulated by multiple users here is blatantly false.
As an AWS user, it bums me out how much vendors don’t integrate better with the marketplace and cloud formation stacks etc.

What I’m after is being able to pay a 3rd-party vendor to do all the work of setting up a cluster of machines, deal with HA, backups, upgrades, support etc - but stay out of my data, so that I don’t have to force all our enterprise clients to sign updates to our DPA.

I would gladly pay elastic.co for such a service. The only vendor that I’m aware that does is Cognitect with Datomic Cloud: https://docs.datomic.com/cloud/index.html
On the other hand if x86 keeps competitive there's lot of inertia in its favor. So it could go either way. Desktop especially has been a tough nut to crack for anyone other than Apple and they are only 8% of the market.
I wonder if the Stream Deck is used in other areas besides streaming. I mean: can it become a must for other professions, e.g. software developers.
> But I believe it's very important that in Thai schools there are practices, even starting at kindergarten, to teach children to kneel or bow in front of the picture of the king daily. From what I understand children also sing the Thai national anthem at the start of the school day. Every day at 2 moments (09:00 and 17:00) many people stop what they're doing and stand in attention for a second while the national anthem plays on TV, radio in cinemas, etc... So you might understand that reference for the king is a big part of the education system here.

That is creepy as fuck.
Not arguing with you. The whole school nurse thing is more for legality and insurance issues (I imagine). As a kid, I always thought the school nurse was borderline useless. The only thing I can see as being useful, a school nurse knowing how to perform a tracheotomy. Not something I expect a run of the mill teacher (or average person) can do. There's a relatively high peanut allergy rate in the USA amongst children due to our seriously flawed food knowledge and habits. Perhaps school nurses here do know how to do that well, amongst other "seconds matter" care before paramedics are needed. Though, I can't confirm or deny if they do.
To see a description what the service is one has to run

curl -I https://runson.cloud/

Yes. I took up running. Seems to have fixed it for me.

Also make sure there is clean separation between work and home. Different hardware, different location even if it's the other side of the same room.
What does the term WAANK stand for?
I was asking for clarification of an ambiguity.

It's an important ambiguity to clarify, because guilt-by-association moves quickly through society.
A few people above have said that Elastic is worth $10-14 billion. This isn't a one-man OSS project we're talking about.
Awesome, would love to hear what you think once you get a chance to take a look. jay@seed.run
If those platforms are de-facto monopolies, then everyone should have the right to be there (not necessarily be featured #1).
Work-from-home didn't make things worse.
Constant threat of severe illness and avoiding social contact for a year did.

I've been remote for 5 years, this last year alone was the hard one.

I'm holding out hope that things will turn around soon with fixes to the vaccine rollout, but literally everyone has been on survival mode for way too long.
Let's just hope that if Intel's position is protected because of its strategic importance in the tug of war, it doesn't become another Boeing.
The license fee is fairer than a tax, because if you don't watch terrestrial television you don't have to fund it. For example, if you just watch Netflix, you don't need to pay for a license fee.
If the license fee were replaced with a tax I would end up paying more than the cost of a license fee for something I don't use - not keen.
It is pretty weird to me that there is no comparison with screen and tmux prominently displayed.
> and truly are not really represented by anyone in government except their local officials and congressmen/senators.

...who the hell else should they be represented by in government?

Writing a novel is definitely a 'to each, his own' practice.

I can format text all day. It's a huge distraction that allows me to also feel 'productive'; which gets in the way of actually writing. Using a markdown editor lets me do the formatting that is necessary for the work (e.g., italics) without being hugely distracted.

> But it should hide the syntax just like rtf editors do (unless you want to see it).

I'm using Obsidian and wouldn't mind seeing this feature. However, it currently offers the option of toggling quickly between edit and preview modes, or opening up a second view for preview, which can optionally be scroll-locked with the editing window. That works great for me.

I use copious amounts of notes in my fiction writing, that sometimes include mathematical/physical formulas, data, and code. Obsidian supports (various amounts of) inline LaTeX, syntax-highlighting, and mermaid. (I'm also not above abusing these things for my own purposes: I've used mermaid graph to create a quick-and-dirty character family tree for my own reference, for instance.) And, of course, I use markdown to tie all these notes together and to the novel.
Didn't they put some fella in jail because he planned a hit on the Playstation Network years ago?
Yep, a few do the heavy lifting. A good portion of the paper analyzes the crowd/participants as a whole and touches on what effects they may have on each other (I think), but I wasn't able to understand it well enough to have any thoughts.

As for the muscle-powered, on page 4 of the document there's a graphic that shows the ratios, and it's no contest. The vast majority are involved in announcing (the situation) and uploading / re-uploading (the information). Informing and spreading.

It's obvious to me in hindsight, but I wasn't expecting such a wide gulf.
> If the argument is that Google and Apple shouldn't be able to ban any apps on their respective stores, it would require enacting a law to force that upon them.

It doesn't have to be as black and white as that. The law could restrict their moderating powers to only removing malicious apps (defined by a reasonable heuristic); much as you may dislike the content, most badthink social networks are not also hacking your phone at the same time.
RevelioBP: Novel Proof of Reserves Protocol with Shorter Proof Sizes
"Novel Proof of Reserves Protocol with Shorter Proof Sizes

Cryptocurrency exchanges enable customers to own digital assets without having to mine them. They provide customers with user-friendly wallets facilitating trading in digital assets and fiat currencies. Notwithstanding the benefits to customers, the downside of such exchanges is that the customer funds are lost in case an exchange gets hacked or is involved in an exit fraud. Proof of Solvency is a technique which could avert such losses by requiring exchanges to regularly prove to the customers that they own assets at least as much as their liabilities. It consists of two parts: proof of reserves (proving the possession of assets) and proof of liabilities (proving liabilities towards customers). We design RevelioBP [1,4], a novel proof of reserves protocol for MimbleWimble based cryptocurrencies. RevelioBP succeeds in alleviating the drawbacks of Revelio [2] - the current state-of-the-art proof of reserves protocol for MimbleWimble."
I thought all the "amazing" pilot jobs were gone now that all the airlines are saving money and it's pretty much ~100k. I am pulling that number out of my ____, but my understanding was that it's a good job, but not FAANG / med school "good" in terms of salary, with rare unicorn exceptions, i.e. private rotary in Dubai or something.
> If you live in the rest of the United States, which is spread out and some quite rural, a car alarm can quickly notify you someone is messing with your car.

That really depends if you're close enough to the car, or in a building that makes it easy to hear noises coming from a parking lot. If I go to a mall or a big box store, I'm not going to hear my car alarm going off and other people are going to largely ignore it (since they've experienced so many false alarms in the past).

Car alarm systems should be silent and sent an alert to your phone so that you know someone is doing something to your vehicle and can check on it in a timely fashion.
Helge Klein, a long time Windows dev, summed up my complaints about using PowerShell as anything other than a nice shell that sorta feels like *nix:

https://helgeklein.com/blog/2014/11/hate-powershell/

I still use CMD.exe, so please get off my lawn ;-)

When I need the power of Powershell, I use C# (or even Python + Py2Exe if I'm deploying).
Hey, author here. Thanks for posting my article! Here's a friend link so you you can bypass the paywall.

You might want to update the url of this post to point to this instead: https://medium.com/better-programming/from-15-000-database-c...
I just came here to post that video. It seriously helped me improve my working from home. And I’d been working from home for years.
What the *Bleep* Is Kubernetes?
What's the difference for the people?
I don't think it's comparable at all - the CA scandal wasn't something CA got access to via a bug. What CA had been doing, plenty of other companies had already been doing on Facebook's platform to maximize ad spend. CA was just first to apply it to agitprop. So yes, while Google did go back and make sure their APIs were cleaned up they never unofficially offered the functionality in the first place.
I actually agree with the issue reporter. I think threads should be disabled by default. Usually I’m hunting for misbehaving processes, I care about misbehaving threads second. The default view should be as concise as possible.
Personally, I'm not burnt out.

To void burn out, I did a few things which I feel are extremely helpful.

1. Have a room that is a dedicated office. When I leave this room, I leave the "office".

2. Establish communication throughout the day. This means having slack conversations (typed and video) that are casual. It's okay to vent on these calls.

3. Have a defined schedule - Awake at 6am, washed/dressed by 6:30am, Red Bull (or if you like food) and at my desk by 7am. I do work long hours, but I enjoy it because I'm accomplishing something.

4. Work on something that excites you or find joy in your work somehow.

5. Lastly, realize most of the mental stress can be managed with a little mindfulness, learning to accept that you still can grow and find joy even when at home and cut back on social media; or if you're like me, I cut out 99% of social media.

I hope everyone remains positive. Do something today, that makes you better tomorrow.
Yes, you do. With the advantage of the rich object model. Best of both worlds.
Thanks for the suggestion, but zettlr has too much UI for my taste. I use an editor I've written myself, with no UI at all by default.
So much for CBS *All* Access.
It's funny how the article claims that treating everything like a string is a drawback, when it's often touted as a strength of bash.

The author of this piece claims: "Powershell [...] offers a series of commands useful for developing tools and automatisms that are very difficult to implement with simple strings." but as far as I can tell, they don't go on to actually explain any of these cases where Powershell is a more appropriate tool than traditional string-based shells.
Really, you could make the argument for any AWS service and generally using a cloud service provider. You get into the cloud, use their glue (lambda, kinesis, sqs etc) and suddenly migrating services somewhere else is a multi-year project.

Do you think that vendor lock in has stopped people in the past (and future)? Thinking about those kinds of things are long term and many companies think short term.
I read your response aloud to my partner who was born and raised in Thailand. She agrees with what you've said. Communities often prefer to settle disputes amongst themselves. She also noted that, unfortunately rich people get away with injustice. If a rich person has done something wrong to poor person, the family feels like they have no choice but to accept monetary compensation instead of seeking justice by law. They feel like they are better off taking a settlement. And even in the pursuit of justice, bribery is so common that things will often get brushed under the rug.
Thai tech people have different problematic mindset. They do not support lèse-majesté law, but most of them (in my observation) are not progressive either. These coming up gen Z are chasing their pro-capitalism ass (But these tech ppl hide those mindset really well .. not getting caught so easily!)
> financialization propping up abstracted processes of how to lead massive organizations as big blocks on diagrams instead of highly fractal, constantly shifting networks of ideas and stories repeatedly coalescing around people, processes, and resources into focused discrete action in continguous and continuous OODA feedback loops absorbing and learning mistakes along the way.

I had trouble reading this without falling into the cadence of Howl! by Allen Ginsberg.
I just want no app stores. Completely useless middleman.
It's a bit hard to disentangle the "USA is on fire" events over the last year from the "working from home is the cause".

For me, it's been really challenging during weeks of BLM protests: the seeming insignificance of tasks at work as compared to the plight of people across our troubled nation. Similarly, during the elections, when it seemed like we could have end up with 4 more years of inaction during a time when every year matters in averting a global warming catastrophe.

It's a bit easier now that the government is better aligned with what I think is a good direction.
That's how it works in most other trades. They can go to WTO if they find it against its policies.
I am drawing arbitrary things, poorly, and haven't placed worse than 250. Amusing in a way.
Sounds to me like suffering fetishism and the association of it with moral worth.
At my job, we evaluated moving from AWS hosted ES to several of the Elastic offerings. Many of them were more expensive than AWS was before taking hardware into account (as in comparing cost of Elastic licensing vs the whole cost from AWS). This made it exceedingly difficult to justify the move. It's not only the headstart with the client (billing relationship in place), but the cost that hampers them.
and I have been told by at least twenty people never to use aliases in powershell scripts so aliases are effectively useless.
IMHO the desktop client of Signal is far superior to Whatsapp: the Desktop & iPad client of Signal allows Video & Voice (group) calls. Whatapp desktop client allows neither, only Chat, neither does it have a client for the iPad.
Yeah like I suggested, it seems to be a convex benefit curve.
Removing the central element entirely seems to be the implication, but where does it stop? At each level, you lose the benefits of a central structure - such as coordination, support, management of risk etc.

Sure, one can get rid of the EU. But you'll notice that most countries actually don't want this - especially Euro-critical countries in eastern Europe profit hugely from the EU and would never seriously consider going back to the previous state of things.

No, I think the EU is far too decentralized in areas that matter. It has power, to some degree, but it doesn't have real representation.
For example, if the EU had a centralized fiscal&monetary policy, things would have looked much less bleak for southern parts of the Union.

For covid, Germany was doing well initially due to having a far better medical system. However, in relative terms, it did poorly. Yes, the pre-established institutions worked well, such as having the most advanced hospital system and the most ICU units by a mile, however everything that followed was a disaster characterized primarily by doing too little. Germany never managed to beat the second wave. France did.
None of this matters because the industry relies on docx (and it's a crusty, oldschool industry so good luck changing that).

A minimum for a novel writing tool is that one can actually send the novel out in a format where your agent and editor will read it. Otherwise you're not getting that novel published.
You are correct but using programmers terminology here is confusing.

The opcodes 31 C0 mean "Set EAX register to zero"

The opcodes 31 D8 mean "Set EAX to EAX xor EBX"

The trick part is in the mnemonics used by assemblers and literature that transcribe the first as "XOR EAX, EAX".

It isn't actually implemented as such, so it isn't really an "optimization"
This is a very common miscommunication regarding idealistic goals. When somebody has an idealistic goal, they don't mean that they think the practical downsides are worth living with forever. The implication is that they want to overcome those downsides. E.g. getting rid of the poisons of nationalism without getting rid of the differences in culture, or getting rid of the restriction of movement based on national borders without getting rid of the ability to restrict movement during a viral outbreak. These types of goals sound almost impossible, at least until a far flung future, but that's why we say these are ideals. Colloquially, "idealism" implies "almost impossible". The misunderstanding comes when one person speaks under the assumption that these downsides are surmountable, and the other person speaks under the assumption that these downsides are insurmountable, when really they should be arguing more directly about how to achieve the goal or how achieving it is unrealistic, instead of Team Idealism just saying "think about this future, wouldn't it be great?", and Team Realism just saying "we haven't achieved it yet, so I think it's impossible".
You can't geo-divide an app store...Also the way DOJ broke up Ma Bell is largely viewed as a failure given the amount of company consolidation that occurred in the years following
LOL! I take your point. I was thinking more in terms of overall zeitgeist.
I thought he may have spent the majority (or close) of his time since 2016 there. This article confirms he's welcome to return, doesn't need a visa, and is able to stay as long he wants.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-thailand-king/tha...

Undoubtedly he feels much safer in Germany considering his popularity.
You're definitely not alone. For myself, the physical separation between the workplace and home helped put me in work mode; without that cue, it's much harder to stay on task. And while it would be nice to have a separate home office to replace that cue, I don't have the space for it.
Pretty sure you can't take RISC-V and use it to drive a Mill.
We're in the era of big platforms that can pick and choose the winners, and the winners have to play with those rules.

see: GPLv3 ban on Tivoization. It makes anything v3 radioactive to any company seeking to make $$$.
It's not just governmental foreign policies, it's about the overall mentality, of both the government and people.

The parent thread I was responding written "I guess Thailand is due for a revolution".

There would surely be many people trying to convince Thai people "your government is evil, go overthrow it". Maybe sometimes to an extreme like "burn the parliament and everything will get better".

To be "supportive" over the Internet is almost too easy, especially if it's not someone's home country it's easier to said than done because they don't need to take consequences. Yell at your boss and you'll be at risk of losing the job, but it won't hurt to encourage foreigners to go for the rebel path.

This is a loophole that deserves to be closed.
One major advantage of a universal society would be an end to the arms race. It's a colossal waste of resources to have countries endlessly trying to outspend eachother on technology to kill people.
Isn't this just eye-for-an-eye, the oldest and most reliable type of justice that has ever existed? (reliable in the sense that it functions even in situations with low practical governance like a remote village or an understaffed nation / area).
I tend to think of it like free market capitalism. It sounds great in theory, but in practice, it has some major downsides and regulation is necessary to help deal with that.
A lot of comments here are discussing the greater implications of OSS and the like - which is appropriate. But can we take a minute to talk about AWS' specific, egregious behavior?

Blatantly stealing the trademark, not even entering negotiations. Lying on Twitter about being in a partnership with a company when they are not is the kind of behavior I expect from a shady sneakers reseller on Reddit, not AWS. In my book, this is shockingly unprofessional and indicates some serious rot as a company...
> the possible retort I could make that then interests of the politically powerful can not only coincide with the will of the people but also be the will of the people

In the end, there is only IngSoc!
