The same reason some people dislike the GPL, but a bit more extreme.

One of the cool things about open source is that you can go and use Open Source code for things that the original author may have never even thought of. So your implementation of some novel algorithm might end up being useful in some situation that you were not aware of or maybe did not even exist when you wrote the code. While it seems idealistic, it is not that uncommon.

Now for the GPL license, depending on version, it is not a huge deal if you borrow GPL code. It is a fairly standard license that a lot of projects use. And of course GPL is compatible with a lot of different licenses, making it possible to distribute your projects under the terms of the GPL including code with compatible licensing.

Something interesting to note is that AGPLv1 is not GPL compatible. AGPLv3 is not GPLv2 compatible. GPLv3 and AGPLv3 are compatible, since GPLv3 was written to intentionally allow this usage. (Note: IANAL or an expert; so this should be taken with a grain of salt.)

In the end, this is why permissive licenses have gained a lot of popularity. It is immensely aggravating to people when things that are technically possible and not spiritually immoral are prevented by legal barriers that feel unnecessary. When the ZFS on Linux project faces trouble because of software licensing, it feels like a farce and a waste of time and resources.

Now imagine that the reasoning for the license choices being incompatible was not to protect user rights, and not simply a matter of differing policies between different organizations and their open source releases, but rather transparently a ploy to protect a profit model. This is where people's aggravation turns to anger, because it then feels like the open source label is being used to pull people in, then the more restrictive licenses are being used to seek rent forever after.

The reality is obviously not quite that grim. In fact, perhaps because of licenses like the Timescale license and SSPL, people have come around to AGPL in quite a significant way. The Overton window of open source licenses from corporate open source releases may have tilted a bit more towards the 'restrictive' side.

I don't think there's anything actually immoral about protecting one's own profit model. It does, at least in some sense, dilute what it means for software to be open source; if AGPL becomes popular, it will be more likely to encumber more projects with its requirements. Of course, in many cases, the ownership of the copyright will be spread among multiple parties, and so everyone is on a level playing field, and so other than the burden of ensuring you adhere to the restriction there's no real reason to feel that it is 'unfair' anymore than copyleft licenses already are.

At the end of the day, GPL was a legal solution to a community problem, and it imperfectly encodes an idea. There is no perfect encoding of that idea, so it is bound to cause some frustration for where the expectations mismatch with reality.

I would've thought this was a really silly notion until now, when they're not just running on similar chips but on the same chip.

This thread is really annoying to me. I see two people I look up to basically talking past one another in a situation where one of them could be providing a lot more advice, as I've seen them do on many occasions, but seems not to want to because they are mad about a naming decision.

Every thread on hacker news that devolves into a fight over a name choice is pointless and distracts from the good work people are doing. Names are hard, and they're even harder to change, we should come up with a more productive way to have that conversation, or not have it at all.

In the mean time, I'm super disappointed.

> effects of the virus at play are irrelevant... only contagion matters

No, I'm sorry, but hospital ICUs near me are 90+% full again and we're returning to a strict lockdown. Given a hypothetical vaccine which reduces symptoms but transmission, the vaccine still reduces the hospitalization rate, so your un-vaccinated person B will have a better chance at treatment. Your situation #2 presumes that people with mild symptoms will be inclined to stay home -- in my experience, this is not the case.

It's basically an application of freedom vs liberty. You are less free as a result of having to follow the rules of the road but have greater liberty by being able to travel safely and efficiently.

This balance is governance's equivalent of "three hard problems."

When it comes to platform moderation it seems like HN at large overwhelmingly holds the opinion that for speech liberty is maximized with freedom. Which might be right but for me personally I've experienced the reality not being able myself on the internet because of all the hate I've received. The solution has been for my whole life has boiled down to "just pretend to be a straight white cis American man" to the point of having to use a voice-changer to play videogames online. Like it does work and solves the immediate problem. But the truth is also that it has gotten a lot better in recent years. We're finally out of the "there are no girls on the internet" dark ages and I don't know if the ends justify the means but something is working.
If you're only using Grafana, but not modifying it and re-distributing it, then the AGPL places no obligation on you.

You only have to license your own software as AGPL if it is a derivative work of another AGPL licensed program.

Indeed, it's often called Care Work:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Care_work

Care workers hold crucial jobs but are often paid much less than other professions putting forth similar effort and similar amounts of training. Often, they're told that they do it for the love of their charges (whether it's nursing, teaching, social services), and most especially the completely unpaid child care at home.

And yeah, most care work professions are associated with being "women's work".
> That doesn't make it not a hobby though. IBM has contractual power (unfortunately) to control their employees outside conributions, but it's philosophically dangerous extend that contractual control to re characterize what it means to contribute to Linux on your own time.

Again, we don't have the context. It sounds like something an exasperated manager might write if an employee is told not to work on it anymore and they change it to their personal email and say they're going to work on it as a "hobby".
You can contract covid, have it mutate and also spread it to others even if you’ve been vaccinated. There’s supposedly less of a chance to do this if you’re vaccinated but with for profit corporations funding most of the science it should all be taken with a grain of salt.

the file management in iPadOS is a POS. It wasn't even closer to MacOS Finder level. It still feel like juiced-up iOS without expanding functionalities.

Apple needs to provide an official way to easily transfer file without using iTune & iCloud. Yes, there is unofficial way (VLC) of doing this but it is cumbersome and iPad Files & other apps will not see those files at all. I understand why Apple does this to prevent jailbreaking. But for pete's sake, tablet are not suppose to have a restricted access in file manager since it is a freaking tablet!

A lot of Youtubers like using 4K (or higher) cameras because the resulting video looks better at 1080p.

I would think the M1s are more than fast enough to do a nice job downsampling in real time from 4K to 1080p.

Also, the M1s are fast enough to be someone's main computer for a long, long time. 4K future proofs your system a little more.
> projects now cannot use

They can, they just don't want to because they want to ensure other people can produce non-free work.

Remove the desire to produce non-free work and you can perfectly legally put copylefted code into weakly-licensed free code. Weak licenses don't forbid this. Copyleft licenses don't forbid this. There's no need for anyone to change the license or copyright to combine weak licenses with copyleft licenses.

Copyleft licenses forbid proprietary code. And proprietary licenses forbid a lot of other things.

> _less_ restrictive than AGPL. It contains no virality.

Heads up: calling out the virality of copyleft licenses as a "restriction" is a common tactic used by the anti-FOSS brigade — this includes the likes of Microsoft under Steve Ballmer that famously called the GPL "a cancer". So it seems like you're re-using old FUD tactics, even if you don't intend to.

Putting that aside, what you claim also happens to be an established point of argument that has been already heavily debated upon in the FLOSS community, specifically by the permissive licenses' side; and they actually have some truth to the claim. Your claim, instead, is nowhere near as strong as theirs.

Permissive licenses take away virality, sure, but add little-to-no restrictions of their own. Your license, OTOH:

1. Doesn't take away nearly as much virality — Derivative Works of code under the TSL are still subject to the TSL; and

2. Adds its own set of restrictions — quite a few of them, actually.

----

If your argument was that you "designed the Timescale License to be less restrictive than AGPL _specifically on the question of virality_", you'd be right. Because the TSL also adds a bunch of restrictions, your original claim does not quite stand up.

> Since this is browser crypto, and not native execution like Magic Wormhole, all of this is irrelevant; the important distinction between the two projects isn't that one uses a lesser cryptosystem, but rather that the other uses real end-to-end cryptography and the other uses client-server cryptography pretending to be end-to-end.

Is my reading of this as a vague and misleading way of saying that because the code responsible for the encryption is provided by the server it doesn’t count as end-to-end encryption accurate? Or is it an even vaguer hint towards something else?
The general guideline is to store enough data that all measures (mean, quantile, min, max) are commutative over different queries by ensuring that measure(Xs) = measure(map(measure(x), arbitrary_partition(Xs))) for any set of metrics Xs and partitioning function. In other words, no matter how you measure different distinct subsets of an original metric the measure of all those subsets gives the same result as measuring the whole set. This is only possible if enough data is stored in the metric about the underlying values in the set.

This allows aggregation for efficiency, usually either by partitioning the data by short time windows (1 second or more usually) and storing measures over each duration or by storing a sampled subset of original values, both of which can later be queried to produce measures over arbitrary periods of time.

A few measures can be supported exactly with pre-aggregation (min, max, mean, variance), some can be supported with bounded error (quantiles) or statistical error (pretty much any measure over sampled values).
Not everyone agrees on this point [1]. One relevant quote: "This is ultimately a question not of the GPL per se, but of how copyright law defines derivative works."

Whether or not dynamic linking constitutes a "derived" work is still an open question, legally speaking. Obviously the FSF has their own thoughts on this, but it's unclear how an actual court would rule.

(IANAL, this is not legal advice, etc. etc.)

The question is whether the alternatives are any better; IMO, this is unlikely (all the others I've seen make tradeoffs that I'd consider poor, personally).

I think the virality and companies not liking it is the license working as intended, honestly; it's supposed to be viral, that's the point of copyleft, and obviously companies take issue with that (although I agree that some of this might be misunderstanding scope / what it infects), but that's not a bug, it's the license doing its job and companies making decisions based on that.
How do I know which I have? I just bought an XBox One controller to use with my gaming PC, but I'm not much of a gamer (hence why I never had one before). It came with a dongle which I assume is RF, which I prefer to Bluetooth on Windows. I'm wondering if my controller ALSO supports bluetooth? Or if it's either/or?
Discord has the same issue, essentially everyone who works in a somewhat technical role has access to their moderation tools that have zero auditing and reports of abuse (reading people's DMs "as a joke") are not uncommon.

Discord also refuses to delete any data you give them. Deleting a Discord account sets a lockout flag, changes the nickname to "Deleted User" and resets the avatar to default. That's it. They don't even bother setting the user ID on your messages to something common, to a bot (and anyone who turns on developer mode) all your messages still contain your Discord ID.

I also learned from personal experience that they ignore any requests for deleting data coming in via GDPR. These people need to get slapped in a lawsuit.

The irony is this is a variant of the same argument made in the gay cake case, but with the political partisanship reversed. The notable difference in that case is that sexual orientation is a protected characteristic.

Often overlooked, the core tenet of engineering is public safety. This is why professional engineers are required to obtain a license, register in their practicing jurisdiction, and are held liable if their work fails to achieve a prescribed consensus of acceptability.

Imagine if software was held to the same level of scrutiny..? Software is carpentered, some is designed, and little is actually engineered.

Engineers don't fail forward, early, fast, or often. They don't move fast and break things. Not engineering software is great, because if you had to pull permits to build your software, the web would still look like 1996 and my phone would have a keypad.
Android has this "draw a path through some dots in a grid" analogue to a PIN code. On the boot screen, the grid is a somewhat different size than on the unlock screen. This defeated my muscle memory, and my conscious memory had lost its backup.

You seem to be overstating the likelihood of covid-19 mutating into another strain, like the flu does. It's a coronavirus and those are known to be different in this regard. I haven't seen a source saying that we should expect immunity-evading strains. Do you have anything decent?

I'm not talking about devices which use USB-A to charge, I counted all peripherals which have the capability to connect via Bluetooth in any form in the "Bluetooth" category. If I counted every peripheral which comes with a USB-A charging cable as a peripheral which requires USB-A, the numbers would look even more bleak.

The only keyboards I counted as requiring USB-A are ones which are wired with a USB-A cable, and ones which are wireless but only have the ability to use an RF receiver dongle such as the logitech unifying receiver. Your mouse would be counted in the "Bluetooth" category.
