> this is also why you can't collect unemployment just because you haven't worked because you haven't been scheduled over a weekend

Presumably this works differently in your country, but I could 100% collect unemployment benefits were I to work less than 25 hours in any given week, regardless of whether or not I had an active employment contract.

> if you really examine it critically and rationally, you'll see it's not nearly as ludicrous as it sounds

It is exactly as ludicrous as it sounds. A company pays you to do 8 hours of work. You go there and do the 8 hours of work that they paid you to do. You then go home and do something else in your free time, and they phone you up and tell you to stop doing that because they don't like it.

This is not acceptable behaviour.

> At it's simplest level this is a non-compete agreement while that person is employed.

Despite being legal, non-compete agreements are equally scummy, and I'm not sure why you think that this comparison is favourable to IBM. It's also important to note that non-compete agreements are only enforceable if there's demonstrable harm to the business that employs you, or you're taking intellectual property from said business to use yourself. IBM very clearly has no intention to respect those limitations, so they can get bent.

I don't understand how anyone could possibly read the sentence 'You are not allowed to use your personal email account as a "hobby".' and think that it sounds okay. No matter how much nuance or context you want to add, any company policy that results in someone typing those words is a gross overreach.
I thought the way Chomsky means it, "ubiquitous" and "universal" are the same thing. He isn't saying it's impossible for some aliens to develop a different sort of language. He's just claiming that all human languages share some properties, and those properties are genetically determined. It might be incorrect, but it doesn't seem arrogant and ridiculous. Plenty of human mental qualities are genetically determined across cultures, like reactions to a sweet taste or the sight of a snake-looking thing, so why not language?
Yeah, there's an invisible perk here which is being lost.

I don't agree that something has to be capable of running "arbitrary binaries" to count as an operating system. If I have a Smalltalk-based OS which is capable of running arbitrary Smalltalk code, but doesn't have any support for running non-Smalltalk binaries (native code or programs written in languages other than Smalltalk), I'd still consider it to be an operating system.
At least until last year, I think the community used mostly winforms if it is for Windows operating system. MS is not too happy about that.

These are entry-level iMacs and the majority of potential buyers will be fine with the port selection. It's probably not worth delaying an important device like the iMac for such a relatively minor downside. That said, I'm personally waiting for the larger iMac (Pro?) which won't feature such limitations.

As someone with sarcoidosis, that is my worry too. Also, for folk that already developed antibodies against those spike proteins, it seems like shotgunning a bunch of mRNA into their cells might lead to a rather severe inflammatory response, worse than re-exposure to the virus.

Anecdotally, I have a very elderly acquaintance that reacted quite poorly to the vaccine, including developing "shingles" in her eye. A nurse taking care of her then accidentally exposed her to COVID, which she subsequently tested positive for but had no symptoms.

I still think Chomsky and anyone who agrees with him are wrong.

Chomsky has been known to be wrong for decades. His real talent, if not genius, was pivoting away from linguistics while his reputation was still strong, and managing to preserve it despite his original claim to fame being thoroughly debunked.

Perhaps the most intrigueing meta observation of the monopoly game is how the players seem to never recognise how it is rigged, at least years of playing it with my cousins never revealed the didactic purpose to any of us. When we played people always took it seriously, ie that there are smart things you can do and you should do them, but we never stepped back and pointed out how the rules made the losers more and more desperate.

We also modified the rules as kids. Who'd have thought the lack of houses was by design, and of it was, who could think it was a fair thing to do, cornering the market?

I certainly didn't think about the dynamics until I studied economics and read articles about how the game was designed. Only my later self, with a background in trading would recognise the rules for what they are, and the strategic possibilities.

Oh yes the canadian philosopher man.
That is exactly the major insight from Chomsky - that it's wrong to think about language the way you are.

Language is a human capacity, so in fact there MUST be universal laws that govern it (to be more specific, this is true of human languages; aliens could have entirely different languages, but for any particular alien species, there will have to be some laws of the structure of that species' language).

How do you imagine language could develop (both evolutionarily and within each child that learns it)if there were no predetermined laws that restricted the set of possible word combinations? As Chomsky would say, if you think about it for a while, you will see that the alternative actually makes no sense.

That is not to say that the laws that Chomsky has identified must be correct. He could even be wrong about searching for universal laws at the level of grammar. But he has shown conclusively that there must be some universal structure that underpins all natural human languages.
That sounds like the insight cdiggins based Cat's type system on, but I'm not entirely sure in part because I don't really understand Cat's type system. As an example, though, for the code

popop = { pop pop}

Cat infers the parametrically polymorphic typing judgment

popop : ('t0 't1 't2 -> 't2)

where 't2 is the type of the rest of the stack, I guess, and juxtaposition of types is a sort of product operation (noncommutative, but I think associative, and thus perhaps a monoid).

Not sure what you mean about "projectional" — do you mean that "pop" is a "projection" in the relational sense, in that it maps, for example, the stack 3 8 1 (with the top on the left) and the stack 7 8 1 to the same resulting stack state 8 1?

I don't know anything about protein folding.

> I still haven't grokked your whole description of your Lisp reader, I'll have to sleep on it. Is it related in structure to the METAII meta compiler or parser combinators?

Well, I didn't really write much of a description of the reader. It's a recursive-descent predictive parser, same as Probst's reader, and probably most Lisp readers. READ sets up the input pointers and calls (READ), which is ((READ)), which discriminates between lists and atoms (which are numbers) by looking for a "(". If it doesn't find one, it calls READ-NUM to read a number. But if it does, it calls READ-TAIL, which recursively reads the list contents (by calling (READ)) until it finds a ")", then returns back up, consing up the list as it goes. Probst's code works the same way, with the correspondences READ ↔ LISP-LOAD-FROM-STRING, (READ) ↔ LISP-READ-LISP, ((READ)) ↔ _LISP-READ-LISP, READ-NUM ↔ LISP-READ-TOKEN/-NUMBER/-SYMBOL, and READ-TAIL ↔ LISP-READ-LIST.

META II has the similarity that it generates recursive-descent parsers with predictive parsing, but the dissimilarity that it's a domain-specific language for writing parsers. Parser combinators are a technique for embedding any domain-specific parsing language in a general-purpose host language, regardless of what parsing algorithm is used, though Packrat may be the most common choice, and Packrat has certain similarities to recursive-descent parsing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky#Linguistic_theory

>The basis of Chomsky's linguistic theory lies in biolinguistics, the linguistic school that holds that the principles underpinning the structure of language are biologically preset in the human mind and hence genetically inherited.[150] As such he argues that all humans share the same underlying linguistic structure, irrespective of sociocultural differences.[151] In adopting this position Chomsky rejects the radical behaviorist psychology of B. F. Skinner, who viewed behavior (including talking and thinking) as a completely learned product of the interactions between organisms and their environments.

that reminds a similar theory that stone axe making is a result of genetic transfer (like 'bird song') and not social transfer
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5066817/ . Curiously if one replaces "axe" with "language" in the article it would look a lot similar as how one would go proving Chomsky linguistic theory.

The key part of the AGPL is phrased:

> if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source

So note the "interacting with it remotely" language isn't specific to just a network connection. So a reasonable interpretation would absolutely be that your users are "interacting remotely" with the PDF tool in the scenario you describe, no matter how many thin layers you put in between.

So this then goes to the question of how a court would decide the boundary ... clearly the connectivity of the internet means nearly every computer and software on earth is theoretically linked by a network. So that is where they would look at how direct the interaction with the AGPL software was, and how critically and specifically dependent on that interaction your software is. If everything a user does gets transformed into a completely different form by the time it hits the AGPL software then they aren't interacting with it remotely - they are interacting with your software remotely and your software is interacting with the AGPL. Similarly, if you could trivially substitute the AGPL for something equivalent and the end user wouldn't notice, that would also argue they aren't really interacting with the AGPL software specifically.

Of course, nothing is really clear until it goes to court, but this my best understanding of current state.

The name is a trademark, usually not calling it "Tetris" makes you measurably safer.

The tetrominos themselves are not protected but the shapes+colours are protected in some way (as original art), as is the official set of gameplay rules, the argument being that the overall combination of these is the "Tetris IP"... although the enforceability of that more often seem to hinge into "I don't have the money to fight an army of lawyers to prove that a gameplay idea isn't protected in yet another jurisdiction".

In Australia we've gone back to normal entirely except for institutions that face public scrutiny if you go back too early (universities, government, some tech companies - the former just announced they'll start sending people back).

I personally don't make my profile public on any service (LinkedIn in particular), but with your product being a browser extension, it sounds as if it's not limited to public profiles, but profiles visible to the current user.

In general, it is the responsibility of whoever might use your service to acquire permission from whomever they want to include in their databases, and to explicitely state what external data processors they use. You'd only be a data processor in that case, and you'd need to have a suitable contract with every customer, but IANAL, so take all this with a bucket of salt.

There is no simple way to chase after anyone who might be keeping my personal data, so I ain't doing that, but if you end up popular, you may get some good will if you make it easy for people to directly opt out.

I think the breathless articles going around about the death of business travel are both premature and wildly overstated.

Business travel will return, probably at 60-80% the level of before the pandemic, a lot of the 'useless trips' travel will go away (maintaining existing business relationships, smaller training sessions, some tech support support trips) but zoom (et, al) is not a replacement for a face to face meetings and collaboration.

I think in the interim you'll see folks doing long term project work wanting to take fewer longer trips.

As someone that doesn’t live in the UK, I had to look up what smart motorways were. It seems like the key thing here is that these roads have lights that signal that the hard shoulder can sometimes be used as a lane of traffic. Without a hard shoulder, broken down cars have nowhere safe to stop and must stop in a lane of traffic.

I think the idea is that the systems need to detect stopped cars and mark the affected lanes/shoulders as non-traffic lanes.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm actually both happy and sad that the weighting of trees puts you off a little. Happy because it shows you know and value the active carbon removal, sad that you're a little deterred from using the product.

We did initially start with a much higher weighting towards Climeworks & Charm however the high costs were not gratefully received hence why we do add a stronger weighting to cheaper forestation. To give you an idea, without forestation (and an equal split between Climeworks, Charm and Greensand) the 500kg/month plan would be $500-600/month...

Our subscriber base is growing 1-5 subscribers each month and we're seeing a growing interest as people look for alternatives to carbon credits. At the moment neither founder takes a salary as all money is reinvested into developing the product, educating on carbon removal and spreading the word.

Thank you for the heads up on the transparency sheet. We recently shuffled things about and I had not noticed them, I shall fix them today.

If you are interested in purchasing a custom plan please feel free to email me your requirements and I shall get back to you with a price.
