> Do you have a source?

Yes, Chernobyl. Unless you can point me to a _single_ non-nuclear power plant accident that has rendered 1,000 square miles uninhabitable for 35 years (and counting) then my point stands.

Pro-nuclear advocates always bring up the health effects of coal. Yes, it’s terrible. But you’ve also picked the worst offender (what about natural gas?) and those health effects are spread across the entire industry, not localized to a single plant failure.

> This is a restatement of 2 unless you're talking about weapons

No it is not. Many in this thread and elsewhere will selectively talk about nuclear waste in terms of spent fuel processing and storage. This completely ignores the byproducts of enrichment.

And yes uranium for power plants is still enriched, even if it’s not to the degree that weapons-grade uranium is enriched.

> Energy production plants of any kind are a security issue.

False equivalency strikes again. You’re trying to deflect to the issue of securing the plant. Compare what can be done with a ton of nuclear fuel or nuclear waste vs a ton of whatever goes into or comes out of a coal plant.

You also call the waste footprints of nuclear fission power “small”. Well it’s partly small because nuclear power is small. To scale it up to the level where could actually displace fossil fuel use would multiply those numbers and problems by 10-100x.

And I’ll not to completely skipped over the biggest problem of all: it requires humans tasked with building, maintaining, operations and monitoring plants in a way that just doesn’t seem realistic or scalable.
OAuth 2.1 addresses some of the deficiencies in OAuth 2.0. In summary:

* PKCE is required for all OAuth clients using the authorization code flow

* Redirect URIs must be compared using exact string matching

* The Implicit grant (response_type=token) is omitted from this specification

* The Resource Owner Password Credentials grant is omitted from this specification

* Bearer token usage omits the use of bearer tokens in the query string of URIs

* Refresh tokens for public clients must either be sender-constrained or one-time use

I think one of the issues is that you must prove that you have an income and can support yourself.

A certain amount of amount of British people were working "cash in hand" and not paying any tax, so they won't be able or willing to register now. This is referenced by an interviewee on the article.

> Among expat Britons in Spain who voted for Brexit, was this a common attitude that they would be allowed to stay? Or were they told they would be allowed to keep residency rights?

https://ig.ft.com/sites/expats-on-brexit/ has some pre-referendum views of British emigrants. One says "I want practical facts. The Government and Brexit campaigners have been silent on what will happen to Britons abroad if we leave.".
That's the normal use of 'private' in this context, yes.
I don’t think you can conclude that lawyer said anything about whether APIs are copyrightable.

I think that lawyer said “if you create that interface for the sole/main purpose to get away with having to license your code under the GPL, judges will consider it subterfuge”.

It’s like arguing “I didn’t take a cookie out of your cookie jar. I turned the jar around and later found a cookie lying on my desk”. Saying that’s stealing doesn’t imply that eating cookies you find lying on your desk is stealing.

I would think that, if a third party created a common interface to them to give users choice as to what UI they provide (releasing the GNU readline wrapper under the GPL, the BSD readline wrapper under a BSD license, etc), CLISP could say “feel free to replace the BSD readline we ship with with another one)

Stallman is saying he's surprised-- probably in the same way many on HN always are-- that a judge would, you know, use judgment. I.e., one program that would trip the GPL chopped into two in an attempt to not trip the GPL part of the program which is still there! His lawyers are telling him the judge would a) see the part with the license the person wants to avoid, b) see the subterfuge to do an end run around it (in both cases they are asking Stallman directly abou it), and c) judge harshly as a result. I don't know if his lawyers were right, but that's the argument.

With Google vs. Oracle, part 'a' doesn't exist. Google did a clean room implementation under the Apache license-- there's no Oracle-licensed software behind the curtain of the headers. So Oracle's only chance was to claim that an API is copyrightable. If it's not, that's the ballgame. But in the examples you gave wrt Stallman, API copyright doesn't matter-- it'd still be subterfuge to avoid triggering a license for the 2nd part of the program (at least according to his lawyers).

I had this same thought while trying to schedule my COVID vaccine. Here in Nevada, we're eligible if we're 16+ years old and have underlying conditions (and apparently obesity is an underlying condition, so I can finally say that me being a fatass has some benefits), but only through a few grocery store chains. Experience went something like this:

1. Go to the Smith's website

1.1. Endure some fucking chatbot to determine eligibility

1.2. Finally pick a date/time for the first dose

1.3. No options for the second dose, so I can't continue. No vaccine for me. How the fuck am I able to pick a first date and not a second? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Why even give me the option for a first date if no second dates are available? Why are you even making me pick a second date when y'all are doing the one-shot vaccines anyway?

2. Try Walgreens' website

2.1. No vaccines anywhere, so no vaccine for me. Cool. At least it was a quick response.

3. Try Walmart's website

3.1. Create an account, because reasons

3.2. Choose a store

3.3. There are inexplicably two options for "16+ with underlying conditions", and both have to be checked for me to be eligible. Alright, whatever.

3.4. Find out the chosen store doesn't have any vaccines anyway. If it doesn't have any vaccines, then why the fuck was it an option, Walmart?

3.5. GOTO 3.2

4. Try Safeway's website

4.1. Redirects to Albertson's for some reason, and no vaccines. Cool, thanks for the quick answer.

5. Try Sam's Club

5.1. Sign up for a "guest" account

5.2. Go through yet another chatbot for the basic eligibility questions

5.3. Go through a half-baked web form with a lot more medical questions.

5.3. Pick the first open timeslot.

5.4. Success!

This experience has (re)taught me that if this is what it takes for people to get vaccinated, then shitty web design will - not might, not could, will - result in actual loss of life. There's no way I'd expect my grandparents to have been able to work through this (luckily they started with Sam's, and as byzantine as it was, at least it worked).

Like, it's 2021. How fucking hard is it in 2021 to put up a simple web form without multiple megabytes of broken JS driving it? How hard is it to setup appointment scheduling? How hard is it to track inventory of a SKU? These things have been done electronically for decades now, and we still can't get it right?

You're not understanding that correctly. They are talking about things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornsdale_Power_Reserve

They were indeed allowed to keep residency rights, but they had to register for them - which would mean their less-than-transparent tax arrangements would have come to light. I’d be willing to bet most of these used to draw income or pensions in the UK, recorded their state there as “non-dom” or other living-abroad type, and then never registered in Spain; hence avoiding taxes both in UK and Spain.

But yea, loads of uk expats in Spain (who demographically trend over-50s) specifically voted for Leave while thinking nothing would really change for them. The exceptionalist mindset spread by UK tabloid media is incredible. Now they’ve lost their little tax-free paradise in the sun, and they’re back with us under they grey Albion skies.

I don't think that's actually the argument being made. It's the standard "color of your bits"[1] distinction: intent matters. If you use GPL licensed code in your program (that does not fall into an explicit exception, eg. syscalls on linux) you must follow the GPL. No amount of technical trickery allows you to circumvent this. If however, you reimplement an API, that may or may not be copyrighted (watch for the final result on that google vs oracle case).

> This is the same argument slave owners used to defend their "private property"

The difference is that slavery is inherently wrong, whereas deciding on your own internal membership policies for some club, or internet forum, or what have you, is not inherently wrong.

This is pretty obvious, because nobody's mad about the small private actors doing the same kind of thing. 99.9999% of the companies or private groups around, nobody gives a shit that they get to decide to ban whoever they like. They're just mad at Facebook and Twitter because they're big. Whereas "small time slaveowners" are still disgusting criminals.

And I get that, these companies being more powerful, their decisions have wider knock-on effects. But the right solution is still alternatives, not the government micromanaging and second guessing every single decision they make. At most, you could mandate some kind of 'nutrition facts' policy, where policies must at least be up front and transparent.

The bear does as well - it is omnivorous and could survive entirely on berries. We could also decide to provide supplements for bears so that they find it easier to eat less salmon and deer, so I guess we are also morally responsible for every deer or salmon or bee that a bear kills (tigers and lions are a different matter, since they are indeed unable to survive on a non-meat diet).

However, the larger point is that the idea that it is immoral to kill to sustain yourself goes so far against the way nature is organized that I find it ridiculous. While it's true that morality often means going against natural tendencies, in this particular case I find it exceedingly opposed to the regular order.

So, I personally reject the very premise that it is in any way immoral to end the life of anything except members of your own species, as long as you don't do it out of cruelty or greed, and as long as you do not eradicate the entire species through your actions.

I mean, while I enjoy this idea as much as anyone, I don't think it's possible. If you tell HMRC that you don't have a British tax residency, then they will insist(very persistently) that you tell them which tax residency you do actually have, and with EU countries they absolutely do exchange information on taxpayers. It might take a few months or even years but they absolutely will catch up with you eventually.

Ok you say that, but your question

implies equivalence. Without that equivalence the answer is obvious: Because they are different. It's ok to treat different things differently.

But ok, so let's talk about equivalence. Obviously cows and whales are both mammals. Maybe that's why I should treat them the same.

So is it ok to eat non-mammals? Snakes and lizards and fish? Why? They're still animals.

So let's say it's not ok to eat animals. So we should eat plants.

Why is that ok? They're still alive. They still die when you harvest them.

Okay so it's not ok to kill and eat anything. So we starve.

Obviously this is silly and reductive and does not represent reality. We have to eat. May as well eat cow.
