>Or are there any other consequences of upstream doing this vs. someone else?

Yep: the community is built around the upstream project, and has a lot invested in their continued existence as an open source entity. This move will force the community to start from scratch to build a new entity which continues to meet those guarantees - something Elastic plans to capitalize on by capturing more users on its paid offering while the open source community struggles to set up a new entity at the same level of sophistication from scratch.

The community is not without options, but that doesn't change the fact that what Elastic has done is wrong.

Note: HN has been rate limiting me rather strictly today, so I'm losing my ability to keep up with this discussion. Sorry.
You mean the fictitious boogeyman "group" that not one member has ever been identified and the movement for black rights that was widely brutalized by the police?

I suppose not, seeing as one is a fantasy and the other clearly had the police paying attention to their plans.
Besides, neither has attempted a coup to overturn an election so it's not really the same is it?
> markdown is a superior way to write

Is it though? I don't have any experience with book authoring but I would expect stuff like Geronimo Stilton to be hard to produce with markdown: it is peppered with creative text highlighting (e.g. words written in a custom cheese-pattern font) and this is common in primary school geared books.

Even decidedly grown-up books like GEB might have illustrations and diagrams, and it's important to consider where said illustrations go - they must fit in a physical page.

There are also other small quality of life things that word does automatically, e.g. replace ASCII 0x22 (keyboard quote) with 0x201C / 0x201D (left and right double quotes, respectively), etc.

Don't get me wrong, I love to use markdown for programming documentation and it's pretty good for that, especially when you adopt flavors like GFM. But I'm legitimately curious what makes one consider markdown superior for book writing. It just seems like it would have a different set of priorities.
For those who don't know nyaa.si: it's probably the most popular public tracker for anime/manga/and related stuff. It sprung up not so long ago after the original nyaa.eu (? I'm not 100% sure on the domain) shut down. Today it's not the only surviving clone, but probably the biggest one.

I'm still not sure however, how the repo itself violates copyright. Yes I'm aware of the explanations but I have a hard time believing it. And I can't exactly look up the linked code files.
This is exactly my take on the metric system. I'm all-in, except for Fahrenheit for human-related things.

Along with the benefits you mentioned, the Celsius scale, being a scale, does not have most of the benefits that the rest of the metric system has. You don't take advantage of powers of ten (we don't talk about kilodegrees Celsius), and you don't do conversion to other units. For those things, you need Kelvin anyways.
I've had a _very interesting idea_ about public-code-execution that relies on leaking your AWS keys:

1. AWS Lambda is "verifiable infrastructure". You can fetch the code and verify that it's the same code as what you've provided elsewhere (as a reproducible build for eg)

2. Use the lambda for trusted-code-execution (say collecting hashes of your contact list, matching them against a bloom filter). The code isn't supposed to log these contacts, or save them in any way.

3. You create a AWS IAM keypair that has permissions to get each revision of the lambda code, validate the corresponding API endpoint.

4. Instead of using a custom-domain API Gateway, you instead use the AWS execute lambda endpoint. The request directly reaches the lambda - verifiably (I think).

5. Publish the keys for the AWS IAM keypair that was created above.

Anyone in the world can then call up the Lambda management API to validate the code at any time with these credentials. If you trust AWS Lambda and IAM, there is a verifiable trust in the code that is running on that lambda and that is processing your contacts.

This might be possible by setting up an IAM Assume Role against the * to allow any AWS user the same permissions, but I'm not sure if that's allowed?

Edit: Documented on my ideas repo https://github.com/captn3m0/ideas#verifiable-code-execution-... , if someone is interested in building this

Plus even though Intel has been super fat for 3 decades or so, everyone has predicted their death for at least another 3 decades (during their switch from memory to CPUs and then afterwards when RISCs were going to take over the world).

So they do have a bit of history with overcoming these predictions. We'll just have to see if they became too rusty to turn the ship around.
Do you think it had anything to do with buying up competitors and technology that propelled them to domination as well as using their web of other services as an advantage? Even if everything is fair do you think free market theory cares about how they arrived at a duopoly?
It takes the vaccine a week to kick in, and waiting 15 minutes in a cramped room with other unvaccinated people maximizes your chance of getting COVID. The worst possible time to get COVID is right before the vaccine kicks in; we've essentially wasted a shot because you got the disease before you got the protection from the vaccine.
This site is mainly used to share Japanese media. The streaming services have really dropped the ball in this area. They either don't simulcast to other parts of the world (netflix), offer terrible subtitles that are worse than fan translations (netflix, crunchyroll), or just plain never release content for international audiences.

I pay for every relevant streaming service I can, and even when I can access legal, official distributions, I still generally prefer fan releases. It's embarrassing.

I'm so tired of the rent seeking in the entertainment industry. I want to pay artists and content creators, not an ever growing pile of mediocre middlemen and their lawyers. How can we pool our money to hire lobbyists and change the landscape of this industry?

I'm certainly not an expert in this, but the big issues when not using a "real" state machine but e.g. a bunch of separate booleans representing various parts of the state (isLoading, isError, ...) are the following:

- you can be in an inconsistent state that should not exist, e.g. isLoading and isError at the same time

- state transitions that should not be possible can be performed if you make a mistake

The first one you can easily fix without a library by using a state enum instead of a bunch of booleans. The second one is probably better handled by a library that implements a declared state machine or state chart. In Javascript that would be e.g. xstate (https://xstate.js.org/).

I found that simply thinking about the states and writing them down as a state machine is already very helpful in avoiding certain kinds of issues that arise when you just do this on the fly.
Thank you! We do these checks on the service level (https://seed.run/docs/incremental-service-deploys) and the Lambda level too (https://seed.run/docs/incremental-lambda-deploys).
Poor phrasing on my part. I mean decisions which weren't obviously correct beforehand.

I certainly didn't grok AWS for way too long.

And there was plenty of concern trolling about free shipping, eg "how long can they sustain this loss leader?!". Very long when you have free capital, certainly more than anyone else. It fortuitously parlayed into amazing customer retention and upselling. What Prof G (Scott Galloway) has coined the rundle (recurring revenue bundle). Proved so effective, in fact, that everyone's now doing subscriptions for everything.
Yes, that is my solution which uses the queue. I mean what the author of the post was doing would block, and I offered the code as how I do it in a non-blocking way. Sorry for the confusion!
Such a claim is pretty weak, actually. MS would not be held responsible for code in someone's GHE instance any more than they would for a movie stored on an NTFS file system.

So the sales rep is likely just going to be confused by the attempt to use unrelated leverage.

See, I still think that's innocuous since it does not list any particular infringing links. For example, Google has no issues showing us opentrackr.org.

And yet, it is completely absent from the DMCA takedown, which signals to me that they really did no work at all before making this takedown.
Are you sure about that? Members of rich families in the US are routinely called as part of a clan - Roosevelt clan or Vanderbilt clan. Or they're collectively called something like Boston Brahmans.

It's less used in Europe, but they are still referred to as aristocratic clans.
The only complaint about htop is that it starts numbering CPUs from 1, while in real life CPU numbers start at 0. When I see core 18 is pegged with system(red), I instinctively want to ask perf -C 18 what's up... but that's not right, is it 17 or 19 again? If you're going to do that, don't show CPU numbers at all, just the collection of bars.

Thanks, the Surgeon General of the United States was posting on Twitter in March that you shouldn't wear masks, so I'm not sure that arguing from authority is a very compelling argument at this point.

Data about allergic reaction rates, infection rates, and conditions that are ideal for spreading COVID are all public and not in dispute. My argument is a straightforward application of that data to the facts.
Or just have them in Lego stores. People come and hand off their buckets. It sorts and bags them. Emails you the inventory which you can upload to bricklink to purchase missing pieces, etc. It’s really a great solution and gets people in the stores.

And considering the time it saves for people it’s more than a million-dollar idea.
It's somewhere between bait and switch & dumping. It's very hard to compete against free. And it's very hard to make money when you give away your product for free. Cloud hosting was a way out of that conundrum. But that window is now closing as the big cloud operators move in + the rise of Docker making hosting much easier.
Personally, I've had some great experiences pair-programming on a specific project; but it's only ever been for a few days of intensive sprint, at intervals of 6-12 months. I wouldn't want it to be my regular mode of work, certainly.
>Specifically, at the URL, the Repository hosts and offers for download the Project, which, when downloaded, provides the downloader everything necessary to launch and host a “clone” infringing website identical to Nyaa.si (and, thus, engage in massive infringement of copyrighted motion pictures and television shows).

I'd like for Motion Picture Association to publish a step-by-step guide on how I can engage in massive infringement of copyrighted motion pictures and television shows using this piece of software.

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.

Or is Nginx also infringing because when downloaded, it allows me to start engaging in massive infringement of copyrighted motion pictures and television shows by enabling directory indexing and uploading MP4s?
>So what you're saying is: he called for violence against someone that disagrees with him politically.

This is a lie by omission. He "called for violence" against people who attempted to physically disrupt his rallies, and I would go so far as to call the "violence" that ensued in all of those cases (forcible removal from the venue) justified.

Using this standard, I could accuse anyone against the Capitol "protestors" as "calling for violence against their political opponents", except we both know that characterization omits a great deal of critical context. So it is here.

>Which of course is why he refused to condemn it while it was happening,

He literally told the people assembled there to go home.
I understand the dream of nature and simplicity, however living an austere lifestyle is very far from simple.

E.g. If you live in a cold, remote climate this time of year:

Do you have enough food for winter? water?

Will your plumbing freeze? Do you have enough firewood?

Will your access to the outside world disappear based on weather conditions?

... Definitely an extreme case that I describe above, but I certainly would take this set of challenges over what the cities are having to deal with.

> They didn't really deplatform until it went beyond speech and into targetted political violence and murder.

This right here. Far too many fucking apologists are neatly eliding the insurrection against our lawfully elected government that was incited by a seditious terrorist leader, and the literal years of lies that lead to that incident. Those arguing this is unjust censorship are arguing in bad faith and should be ignored.

He was given all the free speech he could handle, right up until he broke very clear laws against incitement. The only problem I see here is that platforms like Facebook and Twitter are monopolies and are not accountable to the people whose lives they affect (we the people). Either restrict their power (eg, break them up), or regulate them as common carriers.

That being said, it's dirt cheap and easy to rent a website and post whatever you please, right up until you incite again.

A marathon is not just running. The prolonged length of time, distance and speed are heavy stressors.

The hike that the author discusses is just a nature walk with poor footwear. I did St. Olav's way back in 2019. There is no sanctity in hiking. It's just a walk and you either are prepared or aren't.
When it comes to suffering, for me it tends to be like "I'll be much happier when this is over", or "Oh God, make it stop", like I'm on the verge of throwing up in my mind and waiting for merciful release. And then eventually I get fit and more attractive and slightly more confident. Sometimes I even want the pain. No idea why. It's certainly not rational. Thinking about it probably makes it worse.

So Nike probably got it close ("Just do it."), but I think a more accurate slogan is "Don't think about it beforehand--just do it, y'know, for a little while, unless it hurts really bad, in which case you should stop doing it and consider seeking medical attention."

Suffering sucks. It sucks especially when there's nobody to see/tell about it/nobody cares, no prestige, or sense of moral worth to be derived from it. If I jog by myself, I'm a nobody. If I jog on a team I'm part of a story. I think this is why jogging around the neighborhood doesn't stick. It just sucks, all by itself, and you may even get heckled for it. Nobody cares, and if they do it's for the wrong reasons. By myself I'm not contributing to anything besides my ego.

I think my class bias shows clearly here. This middle-class type of suffering is voluntary...

I was going to write more, but that's all I have for now.
All else being equal, you're probably better off taking public health advice from a public health employee over a software developer.

However, if the software developer raises an admittedly good point based on specific, verifiable information (in this case sourced from covid19-projections.com, which sources covidtracking.com, which in turn aggregates data from state public health authorities) which questions the pre-COVID practice of observing a vaccine recipient for 15 minutes, their occupation should not make their point any less valid. This wouldn't be the first time that a well-established best practice turned out to be exactly the wrong thing to do given new circumstances.

The process of evaluating an argument should balance the informative value of the argument-maker's credentials without veering too far into gatekeeping or argument from authority (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority).
You can't use "good intentions" to justify horrific actions.

My point is that Facebook, Google and plenty of tech companies created this insurrection (damaging countless lives and relationships in the process), earned billions off it and are now claiming the moral high ground? Screw them.

In this case, Parler doesn't sound that bad. At least Parler doesn't have billions of literal blood money and doesn't attempt to get into my life like Facebook does.

If Parler should be held accountable for hosting and encouraging this type of content, then should all the other ones. And if the other ones are allowed to stay, then so should Parler.
Sure, but you're talking about short term problems. RPi, Graviton, Apple Silicon, etc... are making AArch64 a required mainstream target.
They DCMA doesn't say that the repo was used to host copyrighted material:

>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.

They are basically saying "this is the codebase for nyaa.si, and as proof here are a bunch of files that prove that assertion". What I don't understand is the legal grounds they have to compel GitHub to remove the repository. It would be like if I removed ffmpeg from github because freestreams.tv was using it to power their backend.
I think it's simultaneously funny and I feel a bit of empathy for them. They imagined puppies and rainbows on their free speech platform, but what they got was Donald Trump tweeting his way into the White House. They facilitated that and it's gotta be a big punch in the gut to people who consider him literally hitler, an existential threat, etc. When they looked around their very liberal cities they felt like they were the 99%, but a shocking reality check came for them.
Nothing wrong with providing a summary and later expanding it in a full treatment. There is no need served by holding reader in surprise till the ending like a piece of fiction.

I don't think it's work from home as much as it is the lack of socializing altogether. If we were able to go out and socialize outside of working from home, I'm sure many people would be faring and feeling much better than what our current situation is.

I have only been around family for the entirety of the last year, and as much as being close and connected with them is, not being able to go out to eat or do anything else does take it's toll.

I have been staying connected with friends and strangers online through things such as discord, etc. and I would have to say it has helped tremendously. Getting regular interaction with others even if it's just over audio or video goes a long way through all of this.
The point I am making is that in any Hacker news thread about "engineers" somebody will always bring up this Canadian thing. To the extent I have now read this fact at least a dozen times.

> I would love to see a source for this claim.

There's no source, but it stands to reason: Facebook has something like 2 billion daily active users and it its roots are in nonpolitical social networking (meaning baby pictures, etc.). Parler had something like 2-3 million daily active users at its peak [1], and most of them joined after the Twitter started putting warning labels on false claims of election fraud. Parler also billed itself as a "free speech" social network, which in practice means allowing things other social networks prohibit, which means its mainly gets users who want to post and read such stuff [2].

Very cool. The vibration feeder reminds me of the time when I was building assembly lines, those feeders were always tricky to get right, even when feeding only a single type of part.
