Your concerns are the same that I had up until about 3 years ago when Microsoft and Google changed everything because at least at Google they do not care about your actual data because they can aggregate and anonymize it and a level that nobody else in the entire world can.

This is why it's way more dangerous to give data to even open source apps that are encrypted and secure because if they ever do change your privacy policy and you don't pay attention to it, they could say they start selling your data and you continue to agree to it.
Is free software really free if it encumbers people who build upon it to conform to its ideals?

I really think copyleft being free is a stretch people make because of what an uphill battle free software has. I mean peep the name 'copyleft'
"flat tax" is a red herring that happens to be very appealing to a certain cluster of political ideologies. it's not necessarily regressive though. imagine a flat consumption tax where 90% of the proceeds were allocated to services for the bottom quintile. that would actually be quite a progressive tax system!

that aside, my armchair economist opinion is that consumption is not a very good place to collect taxes in the first place. you want people to buy stuff from each other, don't discourage this!
I'm a GeoGuessr fan, and like the author, experienced a bit of a GeoGuessr renaissance when I had a baby. I guess it's the sort of slow, quiet game that lends itself to being played between baby care tasks.

In any case, the criteria discussed here is the sort of thing that all too often makes me skeptical of deep learning results.

There are the things that I consider "real" discriminators when playing the game - architectural styles, building materials, road quality, driving direction, alphabets/languages on signage, flags, flora, topography, makes/types of vehicles, skin color and clothing style of humans, etc. Then there are the "artificial" things - glimpses at the street view vehicle, copyright notices, image quality, knowledge of which countries do or don't have Google Street View coverage, etc.

Obviously by taking what I'm calling the "artificial" criteria into account a deep learning approach would score better today than if only the "real" criteria were considered. But I feel like if tomorrow, GeoGuessr swapped Apple Maps Look Around or Bing Maps StreetSide in place of Google Street View (or if Google released vastly updated imagery), the deep learning approach would fall apart, but humans who have built knowledge of the "real" features to look for would continue to do just about as well.
This looks great :) I didn't create a theme because of the soft login lock, but it seems like a really great tool.

As someone who spends FAR too much time on theming, this also might be a bit dangerous ;)

Honestly, I liked Azure's web UI better than AWS's.

It felt easier to navigate from one service to another.
Thanks for the demo server, exikyut.

Maybe: Go to the Setup/Access page and select the "Allow users to register themselves" checkbox, and add permission "C" to "Default privileges". Then press Apply. With that setup change, users will have a "Create New Account" button on the login page.

Your core temperature is that hot, but your skin won't be (unless you're in a desert or something). So you'd never be able to transfer that temperature to a Mac.
It must have been fixed ages ago as I can't reproduce it in Windows 95.
Beautifully worded. Western society's recent move away from individualism is probably one of the biggest recent societal tragedies, IMO.
That's because you're trying to use apps that use the services of Google. Pixel phones are still the best to use to wipe and put other operating systems on
Yeah, "I don't smell" is an oxymoron because how one smells is something determined by others, not oneself. I bet these people reek.
fortuitous interactions - This is the big problem for me. Developing relationships and getting a pulse on the company and all the opportunities / challenges / "there be dragons" is nearly impossible working from home. The water cooler and grapevine have pretty much disappeared and any chance of getting ahead of arising issues / storms is now gone.
I can confidently say I've devoted zero resources to punishing Stallman, other than a few comments on this thread. Yet his benefit from the board's forgiveness is quite clearly large.

There's a big difference between excluding someone from society or even contributing to a project, and appointing them to the board.

The recent master stroke of big pharma is making you think that being anti this vaccine, makes you guilty by association with all anti-vaxers.

I've done my research and understand risk profile, I don't need a beta version of vaccine for a disease that I have essentially zero chance of having any trouble recovering from.

If you think you need it and are below 40, you don't understand the risks.

EDIT: For the record, if I have kids they will be vaccinated. With vaccines that have been proven through multi year trials.
I think this is an admirable attitude, but damnatio memoriae didn't work for Herostratus. I think we should take more active measures (buybacks, additional licensing limitations, training/storage requirements, etc) in the USA to reduce the number of firearms.
I'm reminded of Sony's rootkit that was, well, just awful, in every respect - ethically, engineering, etc.

Interesting that the founders of Superfish are both Israeli, I wonder if they both served with the Unit 8200 that was posted on here recently?
I don't think the $1k/month would fully cover a full time engineer. A few similar contributions would. Or an engineer doing this work as a side project.
You can't. Gtranslate is absolute rubbish for Japanese and Korean, in my experience. It only really works on simple sentences, converted to English.

It does not generate formality levels correctly or consistently at all, so if you translate multiple sentences it can go from non-formal and non-polite to very formal and polite.

English is more or less a universal language, and esperanto will never achieve anything other than being a toy language for nerds. It's neat, but that's all it is. You would be better served learning Mandarin, English, Spanish, or German.
The Constitution is already a pile of incoherent contradictions. There's no way a computer program could formally analyze it.
Yes, and I remember precisely how many apps just encoded the DB credentials inside of the code - with no access/rights abstraction whatsoever. So basically godmode. Thats why we use service layers in Apps today (REST, SOAP etc.) instead of granting a user's process godmode access to the DB.

I'm married to a professional artist and am myself a creative person -- in that I have an art form I practice most days. Here are some differences, I've noticed. (All generalizations. Every individual is different and there are exceptions.)

Artists never talk about FIRE. Money is a way to keep making art. Artists openly examine and discuss history, privilege, and social injustice, frequently making art that attempts to be respectful of those things. These are common discussion points in artist lectures and they are never mocked or invalidated. Most visual artists don't like to share techniques. It's a closed source mindset in that regard.
He hasn't said anything, and moreover the FSF was awfully secretive about the fact that he was rejoining:

https://twitter.com/fsf/status/1374399897558917128

It is certainly possible that between 2019 and now that he is no longer "unwilling to change his mind." (I think that's more important than whether he "repented"/"atoned"; I'm not looking for a YouTube apology video, I'm looking for an effective leader.) But a) given that complaints about his leadership approach had been around for decades, it's a priori unlikely that anything changed in the last year and a half without further information, b) his announcement didn't say anything about reflecting on why he stepped down, he just said he's back and isn't planning on stepping down again, and c) he's continued leading the GNU Project, which the FSF provides organizational stewardship for, everything points to nothing having changed.

We don't know why the FSF put him back on the board - we don't know if the board asked or he asked. We don't know whether they took any of the above into account. We don't know what his role on the board is. The only statement the FSF made is that one tweet.

(And, in any case, being a member of the FSF board is a leadership role.)

There's a lot of concern apart from the text of the open letter about the FSF's secrecy. For instance, see this statement from the EFF https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/statement-re-election-... and this one from KDE https://ev.kde.org/2021/03/24/on-the-reappointment-of-rms-fs... .

I agree that the open letter doesn't go into full detail about why the authors of the letter believe that no meaningful change has happened, but I think they are justified in believing it.
You could always try "fossil amend" as a commit amendment tool for starters.

The original intention of computers was to perform calculations. The inclusion of facilities that allow for calculations to be performed on a computer is ironic how?

That seems like thinking it ironic that lawn mowers have a place to put blades for cutting grass.
Worse than that the article is riddled with fallacious reasoning. It basically amounts to:

I am a scientist, a really awesome scientist, I slayed Rand because of my awesome sciencey authority, Rand was wrong. Oh BTW rand was right about fiction being a good conveyor of morality, because it suits my narrative. So I wrote some fiction with no science in it, to slay her for being wrong. Did I mention I am a scientist so that gives authority to my fiction, being fiction it negates my need to provide the sciency bits to prove my point.

This authors hubris is at the L Ron ++ level.
It'd be nice to let people create themes anonymously and only save them to localStorage, then require an account if they want to do more from there.

The difference is the intent of the person who RELEASES the software.

Free software under the GPL is deliberately restrictive. Put briefly, it’s designed to prevent someone from taking your software and releasing it under a license more restrictive than the GPL itself.
It enforces the right to run the software, study it, distribute changed versions, and benefit from other people’s changes.

With “open source”, meaning something like the MIT license, anyone can take the software you wrote, change it to add features, wrap it up in a fancy package, and sell it without source code access. You wouldn’t be able to even run the new version without buying a copy.

Stallman has been explaining this for nearly forty years. He even wrote a book about it.

Those repositories are used by a very small minority of users, which are also highly competent and constantly looking out for scatchy things. Yet, those scatchy things do happen occasionally on small scale be.

But it's kinda obvious that the lack ob a big and serious actor is the main reason why nothing seriously bad ever happend in linux-land so far. Everyone switching to Open Source would change this and the watchmen would likely be unable to protect their world.

I mean just look at the mildly bad things happening on mainstream-systems, which everyone knows about and still ignores them, because "that's just how it is". At the end people willingly use bad software & services, because their subjective gain is higher than the small price they pay.

"A good number of these teams also consist of engineers who have hit a certain level of growth equilibrium which prevents other junior and newer engineers from growing beyond a certain level."

Unsure what you mean here. Do you mean because teams can only have so many heads at certain levels, the people who are holding those seats block others from getting promoted?
Show HN: Slapse – Selfie Time-Lapse
Hi, I created a computer vision based app, which helps you to create a selfie time-lapse video in a very simple way.
Here's a demonstration of the end result:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ga1aVcgBgk

SLAPSE can do the following:

- It reminds you every day to take a Selfie

- Face detection detects your face and aligns the image with others

- You can import old pictures

- Pictures are automatically sorted by capture date (EXIF data)

- You can export as video

- You can backup and restore your data with your personal Google Drive

Would love to hear your feedback.

It's Android only so far. I would like to understand if there's demand for an iOS version.

Best, Thomas
Agreed. Sone time ago I was in a meeting where my Head of HR was (US) talking with an auditor (US) about how amused the workers in Mexico are of the "at will" language of the US contract. Laughing because we do not have that here in Mecico. They had a good laugh about it.

I was silently thought it was very interesting how they have been convinced that at will employment is a good thing... and thanking my government work laws which require any company to pay for 3 months compensation if they desire to fire me.
> As for data you should expect to do most of your work in co-working or coffee shop spaces as cellular data still doesn't cut it if you're on video calls all day.

Maybe in remote areas of SE Asia, but even in rural areas of middle America I can easily stream work meetings and 4K movies in my RV. My data speeds average 30Mbps down / 20Mbps up for the past 4 months. My worst so far is 5Mbps/3Mbps, but I’ve also had locations where I got 250Mbps/190Mbps. I’m also not using consumer grade hardware, so that might make a difference.

I guess my feeling is that if your manager is doing that then they aren't a good manager (of course there are plenty of not-good managers, but it's not part and parcel of being a manager)
Linux is one of the world's most popular open source projects and represents the collaborative efforts of tens of thousands of software engineers. $10,000 per month might pay for two full time engineers.

Thankfully, that's not what OC is proposing.
Yes. We are strongly consistent.
I disagree on a very low level with this statement. The purpose of taxes is to fund the government budget.
I'm somehow still not convinced by your explanation. What exactly is N and what exactly is this measuring. I thought that N was a time period, and that the equation is something like

Infected count = O(R^t)

But apparently you mean that N is the number of infection? And what are you measuring?

??? = O(n^R)

Where the ??? is also linear with the amount of people vaccinated?

> So you wouldn't want to support OSS, you would rather support a company.

If I’m paying for it, it’s not open source. I’d rather pay a single company with a “simple”license, than something that costs me more when someone uses a leftpad package than just writing their own. I don’t want to have to have cost decisions factor into my design at that level.

Having the legal support to plan out if I’m under breach or not is expensive.

One of the things I like about OSS is I can avoid that. Paying and still having that threat is the worse of both worlds.

Also, unpredictable prices are really hard in my org. Having my payroll vary month to month on what’s happening is really hard. Do I pay based on when I compile? When I run? What if I want to have 10 test environments, so I pay times 10. What if I need to archive and might never run it, but need to make sure I can run it, do I pay. Etc etc. There’s a million different permutations based on project needs that vary by people.

With OSS, I can clearly plan and address all these. With commercial licenses, I usually can since I get a perpetual license per seat or cpu or whatever.

This new scheme would be really complex and include a lot of latent risk, and require that I’m constantly open to audit by some org. And audits are expensive to receive and support. No thanks, I’ll just skip using it and use OSS versions.
> I’d rather just pay Microsoft than use a scheme where I pay by the number of dependencies.

The beauty here is if Microsoft was using OSS they would need to pay still on their own bills of usage.
So much projection in so few words. I use plenty of GNU software and will continue to do so. I just believe neither he nor the FSF are fit for purpose, and the free software community is better led by others
SAML Smackdown (2014) [video]
Android incorporates a patched GPLv2 Linux kernel, and a stack of other stuff on top of it which includes GPL, LGPL and Apache and other licenses.

And a typical android distribution - eg the one installed on a TV - includes a bunch of other software too.

And the hypothetical scenario I want is where I buy a TV and it doesn’t contain spyware. It seems that the existence of Linux has, if anything, made that less possible, given that any old hardware company can grab a Linux kernel and shove whatever spyware they want on top of it before selling it to me.
Axelerant is hiring Senior Front end Developers
A Senior Frontend Developer demonstrates a broad depth of domain understanding, with commercial experience in multiple aspects, platforms, and frameworks. They are often seen as the delivery powerhouses on principally Drupal-based projects where they support leaders with decision making, especially around systems architecture.

A Senior Frontend Developer’s breadth of knowledge makes them exceptional domain problem solvers and core contributors to the community through demonstrations and guidelines. They are well-respected for their domain abilities and authority at Axelerant.

A Senior Frontend Developer at Axelerant could progress to a Technical Architect role within four years.
Option D - it hasn’t been tried so nobody knows. Option E - so long as nobody provides great pockets, the jeans still sell.
I have always hope for that, RegEx syntax is not human and terrible.
He led, which is good. But does that mean he is the right person to lead the foundation now? I think the article makes a really good argument on why he isn't.

His social awkwardness, his public opinion on contentious issues like abortion or what is considered rape, the fact that he makes people feel uncomfortable. These are distractions that push people away and weaken the foundation's focus on free software. He may be right on those issues, he might not be.

Mob rule is bad, cancel culture is bad. His removal at the hands of such a cancel culture mob is probably part of why he is being put back in a leadership position. But I absolutely understand why people are puzzled by the board's move to bring him back.
I think i still rely on ragel more. Its based on lots of research and the author knows the problem area very well.
What I would like to see is a "Support Open Source" or similar add-on available at the cloud providers.

For example my company pays Linode to do backups - I'd love to be add a similar "percentage of the VM cost" to each box for open source support (so it goes to support projects). Something like 10% of the VM cost would be great - easy to get approval for and doesn't have the "donation" wording around it.

Bill Gates recently said we need a hundred Elon Musks to combat climate change (which infers that we may need even hundreds more Elons to combat all the other problems in the world.)

One way to interpret what Bill is trying to say, is that we don't have enough ambitious people in the world like Elon Musk.

If Bill knew "a hundred Elon Musks," he might have not made that statement.

Another way to interpret what Bill is trying to say - and I think this is the more interesting interpretation - is that he is inviting you to become one of the next hundred Elon Musks.
> I don't understand

Think about two situations:

Firstly, if I lend you money, we split sticks, then I throw away my stick and get a new stick that says I lent you more money.

Secondly, if you lend me money, we split sticks, then I throw away my stick and get a new stick that says you lent me less money.

In both cases you're claiming my stick is clearly counterfeit because it doesn't match yours and I'm (falsely, but nobody knows that except the other party) claiming your stick is clearly counterfeit because it doesn't match mine.

What happens next? We're no better off than if we only had a verbal record and were disagreeing. So what is the point in the sticks?

Understand?
It's probably a concession to skeuomorphism. Most physical calculators I've seen that look like the standard mode ignore PEMDAS as well, whereas pretty much all scientific calculators will respect PEMDAS.

If you took one of the people who still use old fashioned "standard" calculators and put them on a standard mode that followed PEMDAS, they'd probably be confused, at least initially. I've seen that a lot at cash registers in restaurants, dry cleaners, and other small businesses.
I think the conclusion might be that women are not a homogenous entity and the vocal group are small, rather than not following through.
Why is that ironic? The obvious use case for a computer is to, you know, compute things, and the most obvious way to do that is to use a program designed for that very purpose.
I didn’t say I wanted banksy to make art for me. I want him to make up a name. It was poignant. It used real words with all of the letters, and not some trendy drop the vowels BS
>>A person who has contracted Covid and gotten over it is almost assuredly less likely to become contagious again than someone who has had the mRNA therapy but not contracted the actual virus.

The rates of re-infection (especially with new variants) in COVID-19 patients vs the protection via mRNA vaccines indicate otherwise - where is your data?

>>You have no idea what the long-term risks of RNA therapy are. They are brand new.

Pardon the language, but this is straight-up ignorance or bullshit

mRNA vaccines are NOT new (or they are only new to you because you are ignorant).

The first mRNA published studies were in 1989 [1][2] and in numerous human trials since 2011. Any substantial risks with this technology would have already shown up [5]. mRNA vaccines do not alter your DNA and are very specific, and likely safer than standard vaccines.

You act like simply another random grifter free-riding on the herd immunity maintained by those who are smarter and more ethical. Your clever self-important justifications may hide your deliberate ignorance from yourself, but they don't hide it from others, and your cleverness shows that you know how to do better, but choose not to.

Reconsider; you are not fooling anyone but perhaps yourself
