"The creator of the Hippocratic License, an ethical license for open source, and Contributor Covenant, the first and most popular code of conduct for open source projects, today announced the establishment of a new nonprofit, the Organization for Ethical Source (OES).

Central to the philosophy of open source is the notion of software freedom, referred to as “Freedom Zero”: that open source software can be used for any purpose without restriction, even for explicitly “evil” purposes. The world has changed since the Open Source Definition was created — open source has become ubiquitous, and is now being leveraged by bad actors for mass surveillance, racist policing, and other human rights abuses all over the world. The OES believes that the open source community must evolve to address the magnitude and complexity of today’s social, political and technological challenges."
I don't think that these licenses are relevant. If we can agree that they are not open source, then we can agree to the point I'm trying to make: changing from an open-source to a non-open-source license is a significant change which, when done without the consent of the community, is wrong.
There are solutions through antitrust law. One is that dominant carriers can't own content. AT&T should have to sell off Warner.

Another is to make local carriers common carriers, so they just provide transport independent of content. Telcos are still common carriers for analog telephony, but managed to escape it for Internet services.
To play devil's advocate, ODF is (a) open, and (b) native in Word.

For that matter, docx is an ISO standard.

On the other side, I perpetually have to unformat my hard-wrapped lines, before I paste plain text into eg an email...
> Susan Rosenberg literally bombed the Capitol in 1983

I am using Wikipedia as a source, but I do not think this is true. Planned perhaps, but never carried out on account of law enforcement intervention.

It is somewhat dispiriting to see this comment at the top of HN and implies a false moral equivalence. Since you probably prefer right-wing news sources, see this editorial in the WSJ: "No Excuses for Trump and the Capitol Riot
Yes, the left does bad things too. Conservatives are supposed to believe in objective moral truth." [1]

Exactly.

Have you seen Room 1408? Cusack plays a cynical ghost hunter who finds a deeply complex haunting. I won’t spoil the ending, but at a moment where inexplicable things are piling up, he assumes instead that he’s been given a hallucinogen in a gift.

Decent movie, total waste of Samuel L Jackson though. I think he got paid to sit around the set snacking on the buffet.
This doesn't work well in practice, in my experience, due to all the low-latency audio and video streaming requirements (most Jackbox games utilize a timer), locked down corporate machine deployments, and streaming platform delays. Huge mess.
Easy to work around with "hollywood accounting". Amazon could license the software from a shell company they own that makes very little revenue.
And all these years I've been using it as a photo sharing site, trip planning site, event planning site, news aggregator, messenger, and about a dozen other things.

Data mining is the price you pay to have those things for free. I'll leave it up to individuals to decide whether or not it's worth the cost.

Any real battery advancement is extremely significant, reducing it to a vapid headline like this is a waste.

That being said, this seems to be mostly about heating lithium iron phosphate batteries (which are already very common) before charging or discharging them.
I have been using Elasticsearch for over ten years and have seen a few of the hosted versions. For many years, AWS was running way behind. A few major versions behind, almost no options. No one used it. The ES version was not great, but it was way better than the AWS version.

Fast forward to 2021 and the AWS version is as seamless as most of their offerings. Works with the VPC, backing stores. You can set it up with CloudFormation/CDK. ES has stagnated.
How do you scale this with a live host? They're literally booked for an entire hour (or more)? Can these games not be designed to stand on their own without additional humans pulling levers?
Tangentially, I'm interested in the concept of the torrent data moving into something somewhat indestructible by also highly available, such as the bitcoin blockchain. Your torrent site then "mounts" the blockchain, scanning the chain for the torrent data (magnet URIs) necessary to bootstrap a corpus.

> If not, then you do not believe in absolute freedom of speech, but only freedom of speech within the confines of the law.

It's a cute 'gotcha', but you're not actually saying anything that relates to what I said. I said 'moral principle', not 'absolute', and you continue to refer to 'the law'. You're not distinguishing between the laws the government decides upon, and the moral principles we use to evaluate good laws and bad ones.

From the outset, I said that there is a difference between saying that freedom of speech is something the government allocates to us, and something which the government ought to allow. Do you think the government gets to decide what we are, and are not, allowed to say?
I really don't like that idea. Why not remove Python instead?
And then you have to question why a foreign country would allow the new solution and not GitHub... it seems like it might be used by people used to a certain set of restrictions on them online, while others used to more liberal information flows would not.
M1's success shows how efficient and advanced the TSMC 5 nm node is. Apple's ability to deliver it with decent software integration also deserves some credit. But I wouldn't interpret it as the death knell for x86.
Why would clear channel have anything to do with making pirate radio illegal, which it was for decades before the former ever existed?
> It seems the test is about the data within the bucket assuming the correct format, not the connection to S3. Perhaps we can trust the author to have considered other ways to test this more properly that either wouldn't work for reasons or weren't nearly as fun.

If security is legitimately not orthogonal to functional testing then that is the interesting part of the problem, but I don't see that laid out in the article. It would be a case for AWS and others to improve or add methods to support the test case in a secure way.
Between the lines, the real doctor perspective here is "Medicine A, which I have been seeing success with for decades, is (according to this site) less effective than Medicine B. I really trust Medicine A, so I don't think this is enough of a nudge to make me change my mind necessarily."
would AWS be considered "dominant" though? they are the indisputably the market leader, but there's plenty of competition

(not trying to argue they aren't dominant. just curious)
Life choices always have an impact. I'm not judging you, because trust me, expensive areas like New York City (I love living there) are great, but blow during a pandemic since you're unable to enjoy what the actual city has to offer.

When I relocated back east, I made it a point to a) not live in the city since it'll be overpriced and I won't be able to enjoy the surrounding area and b) Price per square footage wouldn't make sense if I'm at home 24/7. So I went across the river and pay less for _a lot more_.

I know a lot of people are moving to Austin TX. They get a LOT more for their money. I was lucky to be on a month by month lease when the pandemic hit.
I think the only solution is self-hosting. Would a hosting provider (excluding AWS, given recent news) comply with these baseless requests?

I'm personally done with Github.

Gitlab is a bit too heavy to run but I can live with Trello and my own git server - all my OSS projects I care about have their own website anyway (ironically, moving from Github Pages to Netlify will be the most annoying part).
Neither of these issues have anything to do with the license.

Either Elastic's code used by Amazon is indeed stolen proprietary code and no licensing change is needed to obtain reparation, or Amazon is making lawful use of FOSS source code and the question boils down to "if I publish code under a FOSS license, can anybody use it?", to which the answer is obviously yes. And if you'd prefer it to be "no" then don't publish FOSS.

Regarding the trademark, this indeed seems (to my non-lawyer eyes) to be an infringement (or extremely borderline at the very least) but isn't related to licensing.
It sounds like you are proving my point. You don't want leftist activists banned for challenging the status quo.
Any of them, given the tools exist to do so. Also, the organization that is attempting to protect from the leak might not be the same organization that would be recovering from one.

Visiting the website I feel as if there's something to be learned about the current state of anime. Or maybe it's just their training data and I'm reading too much into it, dunno.

The model has no idea about what arms are supposed to look like [1] but has no problem making sure that the resulting abominations are wearing underwear only. Also missing: men.

Sorry, but for $350.00, you need way stronger testimonials/evidence of the host being worth it.

A grainy picture taken in someone's bathroom with the caption "She's hilarious and unpredictable, so get ready for laughs!", and a couple one-liners from names that could be completely fake, does not tell me that this is going to be worth the money.

Ah some classic "whataboutism".

Nice way to detract from the point that people are directing violence towards politicians.

But yes a Target got looted and some fires were set because people are fucking angry about the institutional violence directed towards their communities.

Clearly the same thing, yeah?
I'd say that first one (api_info) is semi-plausible in terms of being "configured" for piracy, in that it hard codes the production API of the site, and I assume the data accessible therein is largely piracy.

It is also true that one would need to modify quite a few places to make this codebase sensibly usable for anything non-piracy. Even if an Anime studio decided to make their back catalog available over torrent (for some reason), this site really is not designed for their needs.

However, I strongly suspect this list of files is roughly the set that have 'nyaa' as a stand alone word (i.e. not part of a snake case word or other compound). I suspect they loaded the code into a search engine, and searched for "nyaa.si", and flagged all results. Many search engines will treat the '.' like a space, will filter out "si" as being too short, and thus search for "nyaa", and only find results for that when it exists as a separate word.
I might feel the same way if we weren't rolling out some very effective vaccines over the next several months. Just from a personal safety perspective, loosening up now risks being the soldier who dies in the last week of the war.
The Foonly F1 Computer (2011)
In your example, you're only a penny off if you truncate 0.199999999999999996, rather than rounding (which is described in IEEE 754!). Here's a real simple example. Let's say your model depends on the average of the last three ticks. The last three ticks are $1.00, $1.00, and $2.00. Ok, what's the (exact!) average without being off by a fraction of a penny? This is the point - as soon as you start manipulating numbers in anything other than the most trivial way, you run into the dreaded floating point error, because that's how the real numbers work.

I am unaware of fixed precision types that have hardware optimized (other than FPGAs which are used for feed handling in HFT anyway). If you are modeling discrete things like Minimum Price Variations, then yes, use fixed precision, or even encode it in a way that saves space. But if you're numerically solving a partial differential equation, e.g., Black Scholes, it's difficult to see how fixed precision numbers are going to have an advantage.
The new license doesn't restrict others from operating Elasticsearch as a service. It restricts others from operating Elasticsearch as a service unless they release any source code patches, improvements, and/or functionality extensions they make to it.

To me, that's exactly what you're saying you expected from liberal licenses, but it's delivered by a restrictive license, using the restrictions popularized by GPL licenses. This makes ElasticSearch more open source, rather than less, because now anyone who uses it has to "open" their source code. That's the premise of GPLv3 in a nutshell, and I'm hard-pressed to understand how it's a drawback here.

Have I misunderstood and their new license somehow reduces the openness of their source code to the world?
Evolving a Curated Retro Game Collection
Computers, speakers, monitors, and printers didn't exist for most of human history. Reproducing a work was quite an ordeal, you couldn't just upload it to your website where anyone could google it and download it in two seconds.

Also, for most of human history, artists were funded by doing commissions. People wouldn't create music and movies for their fans, they would do it for the millionaires who could afford it, a la Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.

As for programming, maybe you don't care about your IP, but your company sure does. How would your company be funded if anybody could download its product? A few products might be able to survive just by being developed just for government contracts or for other large companies, but any care for ordinary consumers would be gone. And there is no similar market for books. Sure you could set up a book-writing company like you could now but where would the money for those salaries come from? No one will pay the company for a book they can download for free more easily.
Oh right, I forgot about the part where "Antifa" or the BLM protests ended in them infiltrating the United States Capitol, killing guards with fire extinguishers and american flags, stole laptops from members of congress and attempted to sell them to Russia, and were wearing literal Nazi propaganda and claiming a revolution.
Wait, so parked Teslas always record videos of me when I walk by?

So it was Twitter's "fault" for allowing people in these countries to communicate about the injustices they were facing?

Screensnaps.io – Automated Screenshots Made Easy
From time to time, I see some cool application and I really want to see how they done it. It's ok if it's "truely OSS" I just want to see how they did it, what trick they made.

An example, a few years ago I saw a few mac app that show you network metered in status bar and little snitch. I don't know how they did that. I wish I can read their code, even if it's truely OSS.

To me, the value that ElasticSearch give to us is great. And when I do some cool thing, I myself want to share too but I don't want other to take my code and make money off it without contributing back to me.

I think Elastic, as a company, doing a good thing here, and AWS is the bad actor here, they even lie about their collaboration between them and Elastic.

It seems more fitting than ironic to me. Julia's never been shy about its lisp heritage, and the reason why this project is only a couple hundred lines of code is that Julia remains very close to those roots.
The confusion and disagreement on this topic is rooted in faulty assumptions about other organizations' requirements. Many people use containers with host networking, without uid namespaces, without pid namespaces, without bind mounts. What you think is "a container" may not be at all universal. Also the idea that host networking grants all processes CAP_NET_RAW is just weird and wrong.
We're seeing a live host as a main part of our value proposition. The host not only helps ensure an optimal game experience but also supports the team to get to know each better with fun questions and ice-breakers.

Long-term, we're hoping this could be also be a way to employ artists impacted by the pandemic as well.
Just in case anyone's wondering, I made some fine-grained edits to the text above after it was posted, and that included some de-folkification. This was before I saw your comment.

Since I'm now going to get asked wtf I'm doing mucking with people's text:

I help YC startups with their Launch HNs. Mainly I coach them to take out anything that sounds like marketing or PR, and to add things that the community tends to find interesting. Usually we'll agree on a final draft by email, but sometimes we skip the fine-tuning step, and in that case I sometimes do it live, because I'm a compulsive editor. Part of the intention is to sand off sharp edges that might get things snagged in offtopicness, so I'm glad to see your comment as a sort of natural experiment demonstrating that this is useful :)

By the way, I'm happy to help anyone else with this too. That is, if any of you want to present your startup or some other major piece of work to HN, in the style of this post and https://news.ycombinator.com/launches, you can email a draft to hn@ycombinator.com and I'll try to look it over and give you feedback. The only catch is that I can't always reply quickly, and my worst case latency is abominable because the HN inbox undergoes periodic overwhelm. Still, it does mostly work. If you want to do this, you can look at the advice I give YC startups here: https://news.ycombinator.com/yli.html. The logistical aspects only apply to YC startups, but the communication aspects are more important and they are universal.
It's extremely dishonest to compare a QAnon fueled outright 'voter fraud' & child abduction conspiracy that lead to Congress being forcibly entered to legitimate & coherent concerns about policing, race, & the prison system in USA.
> there is no small amount of irony in you saying you'd rather talk about free speech right after telling someone what they can or cannot claim.

You can't make those claims and expect people to take you seriously without backing them up.

> There are very few people who earnestly want an unmoderated place of discourse, because those serve very little functional purpoae.

Do you mean unmoderated or simply moderated to your specific standards?
Parler was never unmoderated.
You are defending deplatforming, while simultaneously telling people to go to different platforms if they want different standards of moderation. Do you see how this doesn't work?
> Because I imagine at some point in the guide they'd tell me to generate torrent files of copyrighted files I have and upload them to the site, which is really outside of this project.

One of the files they link to is a utility for uploading torrent files (/utils/api_uploader_v2.py). As far as I can tell, it doesn't generate the torrent files, just uploads them.
Seriously thought the whole thing was generated by a connector between GPT-3 and a new deepfake engine. Still think that's what it is. This is mind breaking.
Ask HN: Has Rivian moved their HQ to California?
I was browsing the Rivian's career page here: https://rivian.com/careers and it states that they are a "California based company". And their jobs page lists ~800 jobs in CA compared to 89 in Michigan. Does anyone know why they moved out of Michigan ?
I don't mean this unkindly, but your information diet has incredibly serious problems if you haven't come across any legitimate criticisms of the BLM org in the past. As someone whose pet issue has been police and justice system violence for a really, really long time, I really wish BLM wasn't the organization/movement representing this particular struggle[1]. The 2020 iteration is a little more connected to reality and a little less hateful than the 2015 one, so I'd count myself as a supporter in a way that I didn't in 2015, but if you've not come across _any_ valid criticism of them before now, I suggest sitting down and taking a hard look at your media diet.

By far the scariest facet of the modern moment to me is all the people sneering at Trumpists detachment from reality while happily wallowing in their own post-truth bubble. The average person has always been horribly un- and misinformed, but the shift in the last couple of years in my white-collar, coastal social group legitimately terrifies me.

[1] Though I'm well-aware that getting attention and support is probably the most important part of driving social change, and they've obviously done very well there.
Well, if there were legislation that enforced that high of a barrier to entry to be a social media company, then it would be a moot point.
I hadn't heard about it either, but this Guardian article backs it up: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/30/protest-wash...
> This site is mainly used to share Japanese media.

In fact, non-CJK media is explicitly prohibited by its terms.

So it's a bit strange to see the MPAA making the takedown and mentioning their biggest members (all Hollywood) in the press release. I suppose the US subsidiaries or partners of certain Japanese media companies might be members of the MPAA?

EDIT: Ah right, one of the companies named is Sony Pictures, which owns a US anime distributor (Funimation).
I think Harpoon can be done by a clever 12 year old. Its not Squad Leader after all. Its more a carefully walk through the steps type thing.

Holy cow, US really is a bizzare place. With your level of wages and your low prices of gas, the value of the gas stolen was an equivalent of 2-4 hours of minimum wage labor? And yet someone went through this trouble and risked jail for it.
