You cannot release your software under the terms of a permissive license, then when faced with a large company following the terms of the license, complain that you should get first crack at monetization.

That seems to be the fundamental problem with this whole tempest in a teapot: people have decided on an idea of what "free software" means in their hearts, and many people think it's about "fairness" and "protecting the little guy". That is noble and good, but isn't extensible to an existing large body of software with licenses that clearly spell out how free they are or are not.

But what is great is that if you don't like the state of affairs you don't have to suck it up: you just have to pick a license that is better suited to your goals.

I have a handful of open source projects on my public Github. They fall into two categories for me:

* Software that is trivial, uninteresting, or easy to replicate: these I've released under the terms of the ISC license (2-clause BSD). I have no expectation it will ever come to much, so I'm happy to free it – if it ever turns up in the license file of the iPhone or a Tesla or something I'll say "cool!" (but it won't because it's not that good ;)) Hopefully someone uses it and it makes their life easier.

* Software that is non-trivial, interesting, or difficult to replicate: I've freed it all under the terms of the AGPLv3 and placed a "business use? contact me about the license" note at the top. If I ever decided to work towards building a product around the software (but I won't because it's not that good ;)) I'd look at a dual-licensing strategy, but in the meantime it's out there for anyone to extend and carry forward and build things on. But I know that the AGPLv3 essentially means FAANG will never touch it because the risk is disproportionate for the reward of using it.

This feels right to me. Your calculus may be different so you can license as you'd wish.
As for static page hosting, it is better to just use IPFS + Cloudflare Gateway via CNAME.

It has been working great for over a year now. (Eg, my unmaintained but truely serverless blog: https://fabian.social/posts/2020-11-07-ipfs-blogging.html)
Nationalpopularvote.com is the (exhaustive) website for the interstate compact, which has an actual chance of enactment by 2024..
>Was this reference made for exactly one guy

probably yes, and that one guy works as the technical consultant on the show.
I'll also add that it's fascinating that both 10 nm and 7 nm are having issues.

My understanding (and please correct me if I'm wrong), is that the development of manufacturing capabilities for any given node is an independent process. It's like building two houses: the construction of the second house isn't dependent on the construction of the first. Likewise, the development of 7 nm isn't dependent on the perfection of 10 nm.

This perhaps suggests that there is a deep institutional problem at Intel, impacting multiple manufacturing processes. That is something more significant that a big manufacturing problem holding up the development of one node.
This one flew on a 6U (~35x20x10) and that's really the minimum size for this kind of engines. And even on a 6U, the power limitations make us think twice before putting an engine, it really has to be needed.
>> Literal meaning here is, "beyond hearing"

> It means "above hearing". Beyond (through, across) is "trans".

Where'd you get that from? Ultra is indeed "beyond"; "above" would be super.

And the Latin root for "hearing" is audi- (audience / audible / auditorium / etc.); son- is "sound".
Fox & Facebook have a profit motive for engagement at all costs, but federated social media would hopefully resist commercialization as various orgs ran servers / moderation for different purposes, you know, like the www.

Even if they were running adds like the old forums and what not, it would be more to reach costs and promote a media empire.

Yes, this all sounds like a rather wishful deescalation of the attention economy, but if nothing else, remember the hoi polloi didn't radicalize themselves in a vacuum, much as we see that narrative being pushed. I much prefer the above to some state capitalism regulated Facebook dystopia.
One side is BS, that's why. That is the side which is whining about how an app that was created in order to provide a safe haven for people who are too extreme for other platforms is being treated different from those other platforms.
I'd argue the abstractions, at best, are getting in the way; at worst they're being intentionally manipulated to suit.

Infrastructural requirements are cooperative requirements at their core—they're not detachable from the people that use, operate, and maintain them. Infrastructure that delivers such a mass of information isn't automatic, it's a concerted effort of many people.

If the people you are relying on to amplify your message do not want to cooperate with you, should they be forced to?

How it appears to me is that we've reached a point, a rare point, in which the majority of the people involved in those works have decided against cooperating with delivering the messaging of some people because they don't want to be a party to it. Not out of fear of reprisal, but out of disagreement with the stated goals of it.
According to something in the papers recently, the idea gained some popularity about 1970, but it was the Southern Democrats who were down on the idea.

I am not holding my breath.
Lucene is a pretty low-level search library. It has no concept of clustering etc. etc. What ElasticSearch built on top is far from trivial. Furthermore, ElasticSearch pays a number of people to contribute back to the Lucene project.

As far as I know AWS hasn't contributed any code of note back to ElasticSearch or Lucene.
No, it's used for generating new content—especially images—as opposed to recognizing / classifying / interpreting data that is passed into the system.
Kernel level sounds like the wrong approach to me. It might be more generic if done right, but having X11/Wayland support arbitrary virtual outputs directly seems much simpler and probably performs better. On X11 you can do this if you have an intel GPU by adding stuff to your xorg.conf. That makes it inconvenient and more of a hack than anything, but if this were to exist a layer above and you could simply add and remove them dynamically via xrandr it would be perfect. It had to be duplicated for Wayland though.
Oh its not gatekeeping. You get what you pay for.

My baofeng 5 died two hours into a 12 mile backpackign trip across catalina island. It couldn't do a quarter mile line of sight with an airport 2m amateur tower and when turning on the flashlight feature in my tent it died entirely and would not power back on. I was entirely reliant on it for ranger station as well as general comms and phone patch/weather. Packing this plastic trash couldnt have been more dangerous.

Programming is also a byzantine nightmare.
There's a bit of difference between an NES and as PSX, which came out a full 2 generations and 12 years later.

The NES didn't have any way of saving, for instance.

The two have about much in common as a PSX and an Xbox1.
This doesn't really pass the smell test. I know very little about Hitler, but the small amount I do know is Hitler was found guilty of treason and put in jail for 5 years, during which he wrote Mein Kampf [1]. It seems pretty obvious to me if he had been put to death (the ultimate form of censorship) the holocaust wouldn't have happened.

You also dodge the central question - Do you believe Hitler had a protected right to free speech worth defending?

I may or may not read your response because I don't believe you're arguing in good faith though.

George Zimmerman, for instance. The guy still receives death threats and worse, even though he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers.

Social Media continues to perpetuate falsehoods about the case, trial and outcome. There is no safe place for Zimmerman in America today... and regardless of what you think of him as an individual, that's a problem.
The entitlement in this thread is staggering.

> It sucks for Elastic but it's good for customers.

Everyone is seemingly happy with ES not being able to monetise the product they build for the community, to subsidise the thousands of developer hours spent on it, so their company can save a few dollars. They (you) would rather than money go to Amazon for providing.. nothing to the ES community.
Go to the gym sometime, women portray themselves in a sexualized manner, it's not some patriarchy telling them to sexualize themselves.

Okay, has it started to train on horror anime? (Don't you worry, it's safe for work.)

Getting investors to give Bezos free money for being Bezos was actually pretty good for customers and got everyone free one-day shipping. Amazon is an investor charity like Uber, not a business.
You just sold everyone on markdown. This is the whole point. All the crap MS Word adds to support formatting and visual styles is in the way. With markdown you focus on the actual text. Exactly what an author should want to.

What exactly does MS Word add over markdown which matters to an author? I am talking about the writing experience. You could always export to docx.
"overly" is a matter of opinion.

Anime is far from a male-only thing in japan and honestly most of the time if I see anime/CGI boobs on my twitter timeline it's women retweeting them.

Best to just let people like what they like, and if you don't like it, let the people who do enjoy it in peace.
>> Amazon simply out-competes ElasticSearch with their own product when it comes to consultancy, services

> You're kind of right about this, but it's the issue that AWS just has a massive head-start with any client that already uses AWS. They don't really out-compete, they just use their existing vendor lock-in to gain an advantage.

Can't client run his own Elasticsearch inside AWS? By installing and maintaining it yourself (or contracting someone to do it for you).

Then I don't see vendor lock-in sense: "We choose AWS to host us, now we have no real choice but to use Amazon Elasticsearch Service". Am I missing something here?
I think if you paid better attention you’d notice the libertarians are not asking for the government to intervene. You can voice opposition to something without advocating for the government to regulate the thing. That is in fact a core tenet of libertarianism: persuasion instead of government coercion.
The beef about the electoral college is similar to the beef about the Senate filibuster -- terrible when it benefits the other guy.

Modern marketing for political campaigns will adapt either way. It's pretty easy for campaigns to target demographics, and I'm sure that a GOP candidate could pull the right strings to get a plurality vote. Hispanics, for example, are the weak link in the Democratic tent, as are asians who vote democratic but live in a fairly conservative way.
I would like to see the ability to only get news are available for my aws region Frankfurt (or globally such as Cloudfront). I really don't care that service XYZ is now available in AWS GovCloud. I would like to get news regarding new services and be able to easily remove them if they are not interesting to me (e.g. Microsoft SQL).

But I have to be honest I would not spend money on it.
You cannot really talk about deltaV capability for a thruster. You can talk about specific impulse, power usage, power dissipation, total impulse. But deltaV implies you know the size of the satellite, which varies for all their customers.

My story is similar. I also felt the burn out between March and September and decided to leave at the beginning of September. I felt like the work I do is boring, everyday standup meetings are annoying as well as planning, grooming meetings and all this things. After I left the company, I could not do anything productive for a few months, but now I am more productive. I am working on my pet projects, taking some time for walking and cooking, reading books, preparing for the interviews. Taking a few months off helped me at least feel much better.
Am not very fan of running my things with a web browser...

But virtual hardware is a nice way to avoid pollution...

Good job :)

a standalone app maybe?
> Sure, but what oppressive law is at work here?

Duopoly: We are private company! Lawless oppression second to none! All other company have inferior oppression! Stop discussion of Tienanmen! Cancel political opponents!

Purism: Hey, you there, customers, maybe that lot is headed down a road you don't want to travel and you should come over here.

Q: What law is at work in the identified problem?

Does this mean Elastic has withdrawn its legal actions wrt it’s trademark and alleged use of proprietary code?
Why do you think mobile apps are more lightweight?

Android phones these days have at least 4GB or RAM and mobile apps are in general more limited plus you run fewer of them in parallel as they tend to be offloaded from RAM once the limit is reached.

There is a good section on this in the book How Democracies Die where they go into detail as to why fascists could not come to power in America before Donald Trump. Basically their argument was that the party structures performed gatekeeping functions and that populists could not even get nominated to a party ticket (even with massive popular support, comparable to that of Donald Trump - they give the example of Henry Ford).

Those gatekeeping functions were lessened after the violent Democratic national convention of '68 (where there was a clash between pro-war and anti-war factions) and primaries became a thing that actually mattered (in 68 Humphrey was selected by backroom insiders who did not participate in a single primary in that cycle, leading to public outcry). However, the gatekeeping effects persisted because of the control the parties still had over advertising channels and the media; that control fell apart post-2000, which setup the conditions that enabled a populist like Donald Trump to actually be elected to the presidency.

So it's not free speech that kept fascists out of power in the U.S., it's institutional gatekeeping (in the 30's and 40's).

> its just what happens when you run a freeish market... it would eventually right itself but this would take a long time

If we think of the system as a delicate natural balance that we should try our best not to disturb too much I think we've immediately taken a very specific stance which itself shouldn't be above critical examination. It is, after all, just a social system and all social systems involve some level of design whether we like that fact or not.

In theory, we could conceive of the possibility of an economic system that both preserves the autonomy and independence of its actors while also preventing monopolies from emerging in the first place. Its a hard problem to wrestle with but its preferable to acquiescing to the blind faith in the invisible hand. We should never give up on an effort to understand how we could evolve our current systems into ones that work better (imagine if we took the same stance with technology).
There's a whole trial to present the evidence and how the law is supposed to be interpreted in a court case you can't really replicate in Parler's attempted moderation system. Also the pomp and dressing of state and law do a lot to change how people act. One of the big questions any prosecutor will ask is will you judge solely on the law and they will very quickly strike you if you indicate no or that you know anything about jury nullification.
Short squeezes. You got to love them.

Welcome to the biggest casino in the world.
Yes, and I am so glad my company is not going full-WFH. Can’t wait to get back into the office and actually get things done.

So tired of getting blocked for days waiting on someone to do something. Having to sit through endless calls and meetings to talk about stuff, not being able to show someone how to do something in person. I’m sure just plugging away at tickets is great for some people but it’s not for me.

each nations (and/or state) has their own ethics that think it must be enforced

americans would think a state that jail for blasphemy a tyranny, while america itself jail for antisemitism, racism (and this one really depends!) and terrorism propaganda, while america backed fighters in foreign countries can be entitled (rebels) instead if terrorists only if they are "US-certified terrorists" and because american media can shout louder.
Do you have any plans to open source this?

I'm thinking about lock-in -- what if you suddenly deprecated the product? Will my deploys suddenly break?

Are you planning to maintain 1:1 feature parity with Serverless/CDK long-term? Could I fall back to those deployment tools, albeit slower, worst case?

Either way, this is awesome and congrats on the launch!
Examples are everywhere, you just have to not be in a bubble and be open to seeing it. I could keep going but you tell me, do you need more?

It's nobody's "fault"; no one said that. But without this western owned and operated platform, how would they have communicated?
Yea, this just seems like someone is trying to rationalize avoiding work. Injecting secrets is like one of the base steps of CI/CD. How else would you make sure this works in different environments? All of that might be unnecessary for the most base case ever, but it's one of those things you solve once and use it for the rest of the project.
MicroCenter is great if you live/work near one.

No, you have to use Google Chrome for this.
In the Czech Republic you need to pay this levy on blank media (see point number 1 & 6 on https://www.mkcr.cz/frequently-asked-questions-953.html?lang...) to a shadowy state mandated cartel of "designated rightholders" where the money preaty much disappears from the face of the Earth.

AFAIK there is no way around it, even in professional environment - we build a couple hard drives for a an internal company server and this levy was clearly marked there.

Same thing for all the other extortion money they extract from music festivals, pubs, hotels, radio stations, etc. - they do use some of it to bribe the most prominent and vocal old school artists to basically do advertising for their cause but the rest safely hits their coffers.
Mostly because that's what one encounters and instantly recognizes as “anime”.

Most Japanese animation is entertainment targeting young teenagers and younger. Japan does however have a considerable adult animation market. The a.i. is not trained with any “anime”, however, but with still promotional art which is of far higher quality and clearly trained with the adult market where sexualization is, as one might expect, more common.

The paradox is that the unrealistically cute “moe” designs are typically targeted at adults and adolescents and most of the children's antertainment does not look like that.

Often in Japan, one speaks of four principal demographics: young males, young females, older males, and older females. — the a.i. is quite clearly entirely trained with the “older males” demographic, which should be undertood to target around 18-30 years of age, and even within that demographic it is trained almost exclusively with moe art.

Most “anime” would not even be instantly recognized as such, which is why I think the term is fairly useless. — it seems when people speak of “anime” more often than not what they mean is “moe art” whether it be animated or not.

This is what the average “anime” looks like: https://assets.moomin.com/uploads/2016/02/Moomin-animation-s...
This is one of the major things I miss about drinking in bars. I've had many super enlightening conversations with people I would otherwise never talk with at bars after a couple beers. YMMV of course, but as a "happy drunk" who usually only frequented quiet/low key places, it really was nice.
Every time a vulnerability like this comes out, especially if it's a company that has some people with a chip against them (and most companies do), people say "See, that's why you can't trust Company With Vulnerabilty, I never use their software."

But if you actually pay attention you'll realize that vulnerabilities happen everywhere. Not all software is created equal, some might be more secure and have fewer vulnerabilities than others. But a single exposed vuln, no matter how severe, is pretty much never enough to judge which software is which.

I remember hearing about this exact bug in Facetime, but I had no idea that, as OP demonstrated, an analagous bug effected pretty much every popular similar A/V group chat software. Including the vaunted Signal.

Did this one OP find and reveal it in all of them? wow.

Also, I really wonder how many of these the NSA knew about before we did, but who can say (except the NSA).
