> This is fundamentally wrong.

Would you provide a point-by-point rebuttal? If not, would you at least provide some evidence of your position that my post is "fundamentally wrong"?

> I don't care if you like GPLv2 or not, but this is clearly showing you can't read or haven't read it.

I have read GPLv1, GPLv2, GPLv3, aGPLv3, the X.ORG license, all forms of the BSD license, the appache license, several versions of the Mozilla License, amongst others. Please refrain from personal insults ("clearly showing you can't read") as well.

> Its not about the user keeping his code under GPL2,

My argument is that the FSF will probably not grant anybody privileges with the existing code that I don't like. Even once a new version of the GPL is released, other contributors will have to contribute under a version of the GPL. If the best versions are only under a later version of the GPL, maybe I will switch to GPLv4.

> its about other parties being required to keep their changes under GPL2 and accessible.

So it seems that you are worried that future contributors will release their contributioins only under the "later" version of the GPL and these new contributions will thus not be compatible with the older version of the GPL. This definitely could happen. However, many projects already dual license under GPLv2or3 so I don't see this as much of a concern. Sure we are adding GPLv2,3,orLater but these issues already exist and already don't cause too great an issue (in my opinion).

If I look at the center of Amsterdam, in the past year there have been losts of tourists from all over Europe even when bars and restaurants are closed. So this means that any strict lock down would have to be coordinated at least within the EU.

In the past, EU countries did not want to delegate health care to the EU (except for approving medicine). So this would require lots of individual countries (including Sweden and, until this year, the UK) to suddenly agree on a single strict lockdown. Very unlikely to happen.

Three tips I can give.

1. Don't be afraid of slowing down a conversation especially about engineering. For example, if someone asks you a question about an edge case you may not have considered that's fine. Take a moment to process and then respond. If you immediately blurt out a half understood response I find that usually just ends up digging a deeper hole. When you're answering a question it's your turn to speak, you can take as long as you, reasonably, want to. You can also be upfront about what you know and don't know, noone is the field has a full understanding of everything all the time.

2. I approach conversations like this on a slider. The less you know the more time you should spend listening. Its fine not to give an uninformed opinion, but avoid just not paying attention. Listening in general is underrated and should be most of what you do especially if you're a newer engineer.

3. Most people don't remember 90% of the convos they're a part of. Think about all the presentations/group convos you've been in. Do you remember every detail? Messing up in a conversation isn't the end of the world. Written communication is much harder.
Depende de cuáles hispanohablantes estemos hablando. Cierto es que muchos de nosotros simplemente hemos aceptado que la programación, por lo menos las palabras clave, estarán en inglés. Pero los novatos y aprendices que nunca han programado y que no hablan inglés, quizás podrían aprender mejor con un lenguaje en su idioma.

No debería ser requisito riguroso hablar inglés para poder participar en la creación de software. Y no lo es, en general, salvo por algunas palabras clave en lenguajes de programación. Si es posible reducir esta barrera... ¿por qué no?

La gente habla de que esto fragmentará más a la comunidad. Fragmentados ya estamos. Hay mucha gente que no puede entender con facilidad las respuestas en Stack Overflow. Si fomentamos y propiciamos más el uso de otros idiomas, seguramente podríamos acercarnos más a mucha más gente que podría ser nuestros futuros colaboradores.
Yeah, I wonder the same. After all making a programming language derived from a real language and not using the "features" of said language seems lacking.

In fact it should be "función", that way it would not matter whether you are writing code or documentation.

Ask HN: Is it ok to promote one's YouTube channel with AdSense YouTube ads?
Hello,

I am working on creating a YouTube educational channel in my spare time, with content about about game development, electronics, and also bits of science/general knowledge (explained visually). I know growing an audience takes time and perseverance but I was wondering if there is a way to bootstrap an initial audience of say an average of 5-10 views per day? This way I could have (ideally) some feedback from people (what to change, improve, stop doing, start doing, etc.)

Since posting to forums, communities, etc. is frowned upon as spam / self promotion / etc. (which I'm not saying is wrong), what other options are there?

It also crossed my mind about promoting the channel with Youtube AdSense Ads. But is this "legal"? I don't want my channel terminated for misconduct in this regard. I mean it's perfectly OK to promote a Google Play app/game like this, but what about promoting an actual YouTube video with a 5-10 snippet from the video itself ?

Bitcoin actually functions as a medium of exchange and that's not an enterprise anyway.

Is there an expectation that by buying Bitcoins, you are funding the growth of a business which creates profits by using your investment, and those profits are where your investment return is coming from? If that's not the case, then it isn't a Ponzi scheme.

Just because the US, at the behest of the British, helped orchestrate a coup to reinstall a dictator, doesn’t mean they never had democracy. It’s just that said democracy wanted to profit off the oil in their own land, instead of letting the British continue their imperial theft.

The inevitable blowback from such a cravenly selfish act, means that we get the world the US created.

With my limited knowledge of orbital mechanics I believe this wouldn't be a problem. It takes a lot of energy to move to a higher orbit. I would think the probability of enough energy to fling something to a higher orbit where it would be stable for a noticeably longer time would be very low.

Fount | Head of Business Development | Charleston, SC (Remote within US possible) | Full-time Contractor | 100K to 150K | Equity

Overview
Fount, a software development collective, is looking for a new Head of Business Development. The duties primarily consist of prospecting and closing new clients for our small, but growing team of senior engineers.

Responsibilities:
- Source new clients seeking experienced software development. Negotiate with, close and retain clients.
- Evaluate all inbound prospects.
- Maintain direct communication with our development team to understand projects that are of interest. Keep current on our team’s availability and skills.
- Administer contracts and all payments.

Experience that could make you a great fit:
- You’re immersed in the startup and growth-stage tech scene. - You regularly see opportunities where our team could accelerate a company’s roadmap where they are on a short timeline, lack the right resources, or are unable to hire full-time employees.
- You’ve worked in venture capital and know a lot of funded companies that need help with growth.
- You’re familiar with the digital agency world or have a strong network of agencies that occasionally need more reliable and senior-level talent for projects.
Example, an agency handles visual design/creative for clients, but needs app development for a project.
- Your network includes midsize and large brands that don’t have the in-house tech talent available for one-off projects.

How we operate:
Email, Slack, Meet/Hangouts
The team is based in Charleston, SC but operates remotely with team happy hours every quarter.
We’re mostly asynchronous and always respectful of each other’s time. Bi-weekly, 30-minute all-hands meetings via Google Meet.

Compensation:
Commission only - Fixed percentage of the revenue from all paid contracts - with no cap. You’ll be the only business developer, but have the opportunity to grow the software development (and design) team, as well as your business development team. Further, our collective model has a transparent equity model. You’ll be on an ownership path.

Process:
Email jd {at } fountstudio.com with your background or a link to it. We’ll set up a short call/hangout to see if you could be a fit.
The government. This is basically a lese-majeste case, so the person you're criticizing has the authority to declare the criticism slander.
It still applies. Those are robo-calls, which means they reach a large number of people. Similar to the Nigerian Prince email scams, the scammers are depending on most people dismissing them as scams because the scammers don't want to waste their time with people who they have no chance of extracting money from. In this case, if you speak Chinese and you reply, the scammers have a high chance of scamming money from you—you're probably a new immigrant, either elderly or an exchange student, and unfamiliar with local laws and the English language. The same scam would never work in China.
I am not a farmer, so this may be a really dumb question. Is this tool useful only in the weeks after planting?

At some point in the growing process, your cameras and lasers are not going to have a direct line of sight to the weeds. Your crops are going to block the view to the ground below.

Great, now everybody will laugh when you try to name a variable “year”.
The feature I'm talking about is direct vs indirect trust in WOT. If an indirect trustee is deemed untrustworthy, it may say something about the chain of direct trust links leading to him. If someone I introduce into the trustee network turns out malicious, I might get somehow penalized, as well as others I introduced. I realise WOT is designed with authentication in mind, but maybe it could serve more general trust systems. Not sure.

Perhaps I am misreading this but the premise is that it’s unfair to ask a marginalized community to comply with public health ordinances so that community has no responsibility for the spread of a disease?
But the community effected by a disease is also the most able to carry out interventions so this is almost to throw our hands up and accept an epidemic.
Yes the gay community was marginalized and oppressed by civil society at many levels. But hosting massive contagion events during an epidemic is highly unethical. If Diane Feinstein had not closed the bathhouses the disease would have continued to multiply and even then people resisted any interventions. The current culture wars around masks emerged around condoms. To simply exculpate a community because they had been treated badly ignores the many choices people made at a personal level to spread a lethal disease, and makes it near impossible to stop such a disease.
"Latino" is kind of a cultural designation of the US to refer to Spanish speakers, although it is used somewhat outside of the US, but not as prominently. I am guessing this language was just being made in the US where Latino is an accepted descriptor for Spanish speakers only.

And this is exactly the sort of comment that grandparent addressed with their post.

More stuff in orbit doesn't necessarily lead to higher risk of a catastrophic kessler syndrome event, if it's low-earth orbit. The risk is not the same as geosynchronous where it can stay there forever. The satellites themselves (and even the debris if there is a collision) will decay on a very short-term basis (single-digit number of years).

By making launch cost-per-kg cheaper, it is now plausible to put things in LEO instead of geo or other orbits. And doing that probably actually reduces the risk of a catastrophic event, even if there is more stuff.

Possibly higher risk of a smaller event, sure, but that is true of anything that puts more stuff in space. That's a generic argument that we shouldn't be doing anything in space at all, which I think is not compelling.
