Storming parliament is fundamentally different from walking down some street with signs.

That's true even if the same amount of violence somehow happens at those events.

Which it didn't: These people had functioning gallows, yelled "kill Mike Pence", actually beat a police officer to death, managed to trample four of their own to death, brought zip-ties to take hostages, etc.

And you consider that peaceful?
I think AWS is a case of someone ruining it for the rest. Yes, they’re allowed to do that and there’s nothing wrong legally, but in the end everyone will be worse off.

I would be much more hesitant choosing an storage solution if I knew the parent company has problems monetizing upon it.
And Intel doesn’t?
I'm not sure how hard FB actually tries to moderate extremist political content.

They're pretty damn good at quickly taking down child porn and copyrighted movies/music, because those are areas where big money & potential criminal liability are on the line.

In contrast, nobody's forcing them to censor political extremism, and the usual "engagement" metrics that they and their advertisers track would likely reward that content.

In the last few days, they've shut down thousands of groups and hundreds of thousands of accounts for sharing QAnon conspiracies, which strongly suggests to me that they've had the technical ability to do that for quite a while.

They're not "bad at" moderation, they just choose to moderate certain things and not others.
I really appreciate the kind words and support!
+1. People can have their own revolutions without it being caused by 'the West'. That's definitely noble savage territory when people say that only the West is capable of creating the problems of the world.

Of course it is true that NATO, EU, the US, Russia, and China are engaged there and are part of the landscape but that's part of strategic power plays more than Westernism.
Yes, people should really read the DMCA before jumping into conclusions. I see a lot of false assumptions in the comments.
Last time I checked, no, you couldn't.
You could instead call the offering "Eznzt Service for MySQL".

A long time ago I had an open source project to manage mysql replication topologies, and I called it mysql-ha. At some point, they reached out to me about the trademark infringement.

They were nice about it, I did not get a legal notice or anything, just a contact from a MySQL employee pointing me to their policy (as in my response to your example: I could have called it ha-for-mysql), and requesting that I changed the name to make it compliant. I ended up with a full rename (called it highbase) and they were kind enough to give me a one year free subscription to MySQL Enterprise as a token of appreciation for my change.

In way that I think is interesting regarding the AWS and Elastic situation, what MySQL's trademark policy intended was to avoid the situation in which a third party could be confused by a product or project name (mysql-ha in my case) as to believe that MySQL, the company, was behind the offering. So any use of the trademark that made it clear they were not involved (as in the "X for MySQL" vs. "MySQL X") was ok.

Prison is often described as an honor society. So it seems like those that won't tolerate a law and order society and commit violent crimes are placed involuntarily into prison (an honor society).

This. Elastic produced a product that is popular because it's open source. (The closed source version of ES is called Splunk or DataDog.) Now they are pissed off that they can't profit from its popularity. I feel their sadness, but I don't think Amazon is the problem. Even before Amazon many non-Elastic hosted ES offers appeared (logz.io ?).

I would hate to be in their shoes, but it brings a valuable lesson to future entrepreneurs: Do fill the "unfair advantage" box in your business canvas.
We do. We want to see github or anyone defend any fake lawsuit against them.
It's chilling how quickly radical terrorist groups have coalesced around using social media to coordinate their hatred and their attacks. A scant few years ago, America actively fought terrorists instead of encouraging and facilitating them.
Pointing out the error in their reasoning by noting their sum exceeds the RAM their computer actually has usually works well.
I'm just saying that if a unit test existed, that's likely not what would cause the DMCA. seems that the reason is that it's preconfigured to share copyrighted content, so like I said, not the unit tests.
It's true that there are extensions to x86, but 99,99% of software out there (the one you'd commonly install on Windows or find in Linux distribution repos) doesn't use those instructions or maybe just detects the features and then uses it.

I don't recall encountering a "Intel-locked" or "AMD-locked" application in more than 20 years of using x86. Ok, maybe ICC, but that one kind of makes sense :-)

It could never be written into the constitution, but it's still there as an essential element of making decisions together.

The concept you're looking for is "good faith". And faith is what it is, you can't have evidence for what went on in the inspector's mind.

Good faith is basically the goodwill be give each other that we're deciding things according to what we say we're deciding things by. If you're judging a figureskating contest, you are supposed to do it based on the desire to promote good technique and artistry. If you do it based on who you think looks good, nobody will ever know, they can only suspect it after you've given full marks to a few good looking people with bad technique.

Once that is undermined in a society, we end up with a mess, because just about every decision can be questioned as a political move, which is what is happening in the US.

Take that appointment of Merrick Garland. How many people now think that it was a good faith decision to not hold a hearing for him? Is it believable that people opposed the hearing for non-partisan reasons? I think it's hard.
"If we are principled people, and FB is failing to moderate, then any reasonable person who supported Parler's removal would support Facebook's."

Is Facebook failing to moderate, or failing at moderation? If the standard is perfect moderation, there is no social media. If the standard is a good faith efforts at moderation, Facebook should be tolerated (if not compelled to do better) and Parler should be punished (unless they make good faith efforts to do better).
McConnell: Trump 'provoked' Capitol siege, mob 'fed lies'
This is...not simple. I agree that container networking is not all that much different from other Linux networking, but that doesn't make it simple. A lot of application developers are switching to working with containers and haven't historically had to do any manual network configuration. It's all new to them. Linux networking conventions change every few years and simplying keeping up with the basics is a chore. netplan is the current flavor of the week but it's still new to plenty of people who've never had to worry about anything more than auto-configured DHCP or cloud-provider-default VPS networking.

There are also important security considerations with container networking. Docker, by default, punches massive holes through your firewall in non-obvious ways. People don't realize that with a default Docker configuration, containers are ignoring any normal firewall rules you may have setup with iptables or ufw. Locking that down is only easy if you already know iptables well, and even if you do, managing it is a pain.

The article doesn't touch on Kubernetes, but that's a whole other can of worms. You have to pick a CNI and manually configure it; DNS doesn't just magically work; default CIDR allocations often conflict with existing networks; load balancer ingress for a development/single-host/non-cloud environment is a horror show.

This is a good and helpful article, but container networking is not simple by any stretch.

At least for your photos, you probably want to use Google Takeout. Rclone is wonderful, but Google's photo api strips off GPS tags from all your files.

> When you put violence against property and literal murder on the same moral footing you are being an apologist for more severe violence.

Right, thankfully no one is doing that (I've seen you around other threads and straw man arguments like this one are beneath your usual high standard of discourse). Everyone here agrees that the people responsible for murdering the police officer ought to be held criminally accountable for murder but not for treason. But this was almost certainly a small number of people and its reprehensible to hold the entire mob responsible, and certainly not for treason. We don't hold every BLM protester accountable for the BLM riots and we don't hold every BLM rioter accountable for the murders that took place during the riots, and we should hold the same standard here.

Elsewhere you remarked that 1 murder constitutes a larger proportion than the BLM murders, but of course you can't extrapolate anything from a sample of 1.

> People really need to stop equating BLM with what happened on 1/6. Not all violence is created equal. 1/6 was much more egregious.

They aren't the same, but they're not so different that we can justify glorifying violence for one and exaggerating it for the other.

FWIW, I personally think the Capitol Hill riots were worse in the sense that they were incited by a sitting President and that the security was concerningly inadequate. The President should be held responsible for insurrection, there should be accountability among the police as well (although I don't know enough to venture into details about what kind or degree of accountability), but the rank and file rioters are only guilty of rioting, trespassing, etc (those who assaulted need to be held accountable for assault, those who murdered for murder, those who planted bombs for planting bombs, etc). But this isn't "a coup" nor were the rioters "traitors". They were misled into believing their candidate lost the election and they were angry, but I can't imagine they seriously expected to break into the capitol and forcibly reinstate Trump (apart perhaps for the mentally ill).

So yes, the Capitol Hill riots were worse, but not so much that the BLM rioters (including those who assaulted people or killed people) deserve to escape justice nor that the media should be forgiven for their incitement and later apologetics of the violence. Nor does it merit exaggerating the violence on Capitol Hill.
Let me paint a hypothetical.

I create a new social network startup. Early on, most of the people it attracts are those banned from Twitter and Facebook - since they don't have a lot of other options. In addition to normal social network things, they post some questionable and inciting content. Since I'm a startup, I have a small moderation team and no fancy AI moderation so most of it slips through the cracks. Is my social network "built to enable terrorism"?

The political situation we find ourselves in, even though it was allowed to fester for years on established social media platforms, seems ideal for securing a monopoly for those same platforms. How could a competitor get a foot in the door without being accused of catering to extremists?
The infrastructure is one thing, but they still have to work with other companies to put their applications on Apple store, Google Play etc.
Right, that's a fairer comparison. So the question is, why is that better?

The issue is that (supposedly, we can't know because the repo has been taken down) the code was pre-configured to host copyrighted material. From the complaint:

> The identified files and code are preconfigured to find and provide infringing copies of our Members’ film and tv content to Nyaa.si users in violation of copyright law.

I don't know if they mean that the code is preconfigured to connect to a torrent network which is known to host copyrighted material, or if there was a host_copyrighted_contet.cfg file, etc. Its hard to know how much they are stretching the truth because the code is gone.
Though there's no confirmation I could find, there's an indication that they may/are:

Let’s take a quick look at the features that we are including in Open Distro for Elasticsearch. Some of these are currently available in Amazon Elasticsearch Service; others will become available in future updates.

>Saying baofeng radios “barely work” when you use them with the antennas they come with is a blatant lie.

Not a lie. Personal observation.
When I first got the radio I tested it at our groups ham shack. I was 150' away from our repeater (open field, no obstructions) and could not get the repeater to acknowledge my signal. I could hear everybody fine, but could not TX.
One of my buddies handed me a spare antenna, and presto I was able to use the repeater. I was also able to hear repeaters that were 20+km away that I couldn't tune-in on the rubber duck.
Transmit and receive improved with a different antenna.
I thought I had a bad radio, bad transmit button, or bad microphone before I swapped out antennas.

My statement is 100% accurate based on my observations. Grumbles from the other members in my group agreed with the sentiment. They ship with bad antennas.
So this is really good for what it is - an open source Scrivener. If I didn't have the cash for Scrivener I'd use this until I could afford it.
You don’t have to be a bleeding edge foundry, there are tons of components that cannot be manufactured on bleeding edge nodes nor need too.

Intel can’t compete right now on the bleeding edge node but they outcompete TSMC by essentially every other factor when it comes to manufacturing.
I got mine a few weeks ago in a hall the size of a football field, we were well spaced out. This may apply to more cramped venues but to me it’s a bit dramatic.

Not during waking hours. Back when I was working long hours as a junior developer, I would have lucid nightmares every night of being a 5-cell simplex. I would reprogram myself while asleep for hours until I woke up. The more I tried to program it the more complex it would get.
Good analyses, but I was expecting more discussion of how best to work with (conceptual) state machines when writing code.

I'm no expert on the matter, but there are code-generative tools out there that help make state machines very explicit: you describe the state machine, and the system generates the code. This should help to avoid issues with transitions that you failed to consider, which may be of real value as such unexpected transitions may pose a serious security issue when implementing the state machine 'by hand' in code. More so than many design patterns, it seems to make good sense to use a code-generative approach for state-machines.

This is of course related to how regex works, as regex is implemented with state machines, but state-machine code-generator systems might not make use of the usual regex syntax.

>Indeed, copyright infringement is so prevalent within the Project that infringement plainly is its predominant use and purpose.

Directly from the claim. If they can ban a torrent index (I don't know if there's actual tracker code in the project) for it being predominantly used for piracy, why not a torrent client?
The relevant part of their "youtube-dl is back" post:

> Given the cost to developers of an unwarranted takedown of code, we ensure we have a complete notice before we take action. We distinguish between code that merely can be used in an infringing way and code that is preconfigured to be used a certain way. We also recognize that code can provide access to copyrighted content without violating the law (for example, fair use). In some cases we can keep a project up because the content identified in the takedown notice is not in fact infringing or circumventing a TPM that controls access or copying of copyrighted works.

So basically: no. But they surrounded it with so much fluff that's its easy to misinterpret.

> nobody would want lawyers to be fired

The thing about the present circumstances is that they are so far outside of norms that such sanctions are exactly what is being put on the table by the judiciary. Because there are, in fact, limits to the doubt the judicial system is willing to grant litigants... Limits that lawyers have a professional duty to understand.

"Courts are not instruments through which parties engage in such gamesmanship or symbolic political gestures. As a result, at the conclusion of this litigation, the Court will determine whether to issue an order to show cause why this matter should not be referred to its Committee on Grievances for potential discipline of Plaintiffs’ counsel."

It is extremely correct, I think, to ask what long-term effects account banning and legal sanctions will have on norms and standards in the future, but one must note that norms and standards are currently extremely compromised. This circumstance is highly unusual.
No one gets a free pass, that is disingenuous. These two things are not the same.
Facebook makes a good faith effort to scale content moderation. Parler did not.
How did you decide where to live once you graduated if you don't need to move near your new job? I'm graduating soon and this is something I'm struggling with. I don't like my hometown at all, my college town isn't great and everyone I know there is moving away, and there's no reason to live near my full time job since it's going to be remote. How do you meet people in real life now that college is over?
Twitter and Facebook never claimed to be the anti-censorship platforms. If you want anti-censorship then you look for platforms designed for this, not hope that the government strips business rights in order to make it so.
The Arab Spring would not have happened without Twitter, right?
I think it's in Github's interests to push back on this. MPA's dubious legal requests likely cost Github time, money, and PR to resolve properly. It adds up over time and I doubt any company wants to be caught in the middle of an arms-race conflict like this, nipping it in the bud could very well be worth the upfront legal fees.
>Reminder that if you're in a lockdown or want to help prevent the spread of Covid, stay at home. Travelling to and using holiday homes still contributes to the spread even if you maintain social distancin

It's a virus and doesn't spread outside very easily, especially during even a little wind.

Telling people to stay indoors is damaging to their physical health, damaging to their mental health, and is more of a political action than a scientific one.

Get outside as much as you can, go for walks, mask up if you walk through crowds or indoors.
It's a sticky situation, because while these restricted licenses are clearly worse for user freedom, they are also "better than nothing" if you assume there are too few volunteer contributors and funding sources for the paid employees to continue development.

I would love to know whether these quazi-open licenses will be considered successful for the companies that switch to them. There's a short term cost here, in creating market confusion and fragmentation and general uncertainty - the potential benefits can only be realized down the road, a few years once the dust has settled and the offering has enough compelling improvements to what AWS gives. Are those benefits real?

My intuition is that, if you consider yourself in the business of competing against an Amazon hosted version of your own software, you've already lost. Amazon will destroy you in the end, regardless of whether they can directly use your code or whether they need to implement their own alternative (either from scratch or based on a different solution on a different OSS product).

To me, this sort of license change kind of reads as desperation.
It's my understanding too.

The author clearly does not like freedoms provided by MIT, Apache, BSD and similar licenses.

I'm sure backbone providers can be pressured in the same way a cloud provider can.
If ES is the sole copyright holder, they can license it to whomever they wish under whatever license they wish. IANAL, but it seems perfectly coherent to me that they can say "If you build the software this way, we release it to you under X license. If you build it that way, we release it under Y license."
