Nurses and teachers are more important than me, a programmer. I was reminded of this when my state put me in the last vaccination group. Yet because of supply and demand, but also the potential for companies to earn from software and the vagaries of stock compensation, that programmers often can earn much more. I want all people to earn a living wage, especially those other "essential" but hopefully not continuing to be disposable workers in grocery stores and other underpaid jobs like food preparation and the people that take care of senior citizens - they need health insurance, a living wage, time off, respect. In other countries than the US it's much better for them, perhaps we'll get there during our current 'new new deal' phase in the US.
If your server runs Linux you don't have to distribute the source code of Linux to the users of the services running on it. If Linux was AGPL you would have to. And yet, you would not have to distribute the source of your closed source software running on the server.
It sounds wrong to me. Venus has about 100 times more atmosphere than the Earth with about the same gravity.
Titan, which is smaller than Mars and half its gravity has an atmospheric pressure of 1.5 bar, higher than the Earth.

It is not the same composition, obviously, but I don't really see how it matters. On Venus, the atmosphere is mostly CO2, on Titan, mostly nitrogen, the gases we had on Earth before life came in and dumped all that oxygen.

So I don't see why a 1 bar, Earth-like atmosphere would be impossible on Mars, except for the small detail of getting the gases there in the first place.
I typically see software from the perspective of software freedom.

When a user downloads a web page from my server, I can temporarily record that an anonymous user made a request because I'm only logging what the software I'm running on my machine is doing. After that, the user should own that downloaded copy of the page and use it freely without surveillance from me or anyone else. The only restrictions in place are those set by the license (hopefully AGPLv3). Beyond those restrictions, the software doesn't belong to me anymore so I don't collect metrics.

It's true that I won't be able to get detailed metrics about what the user is doing, but it's also true that user's copy of my software will only be serving the user directly.

Web apps aren't different from other software; telemetry and user studies should be opt-in, transparent, and sent back only with informed consent. Only then can I consider running analytics.
In the 1980s it cost 100000 dollars to launch a kg low Earth orbit, today it's 1000. [1]

In the 1970s solar cells cost 100 USD/Watt, today 0.2 USD/Watt. [2]

These napkin calculations are fairly meaningless on those time scales with emerging technologies, 30 years is a long time. In fact they don't even hold for this year. They finished delivering 150 tons in January of this year and the rest in march so that'd be 300 tons in 3 months.

Not unique to humans. When isolated ecosystems get invaded by predatory species the indigenous species get decimated. It could be rats, or cats or humans.

In Africa, where large animals and humans evolved together, the large animals survived up to the advent of modern weapons and a human population explosion brought about by modern agriculture and medicine.

This is a myth that has been repeated far too often. Amazon had made no move on MongoDB _until MongoDB started using the SSPL_. No hosted-MongoDB, no MongoDB-derived products, nothing.

MongoDB Inc. instead went after much smaller companies, like mLab, holding their future hostage and thus strong-arming them to sell themselves to MongoDB Inc. a short while before they announced the monopolistic license change that would have effectively shut those small companies down anyway.

Frankly, I'm tired of hearing this myth. MongoDB would like you to believe they were David in a fight against Goliath — PR and marketing have always been their strong suit — but they were quite happy playing Goliath themselves while pointing fingers at imaginary Goliaths.
And you don't read what he wrote:

"... and I modify it to my needs ..."

So he has explicitly created derivative work of Postgres, that's not the question at all. The question is whether the conditions of the AGPL for distributing the source would trigger in his case. I would say yes but IANAL.

This was while I was watching on an actual physical AppleTV, ads were from the Roku software in the TV.

I love the new look, but having the audio jack on the side is kind of insane. I realize that it is not deep enough for the full length of the connector, but the idea of having a cord dangling off the side 24/7 for those or us who use external speakers is unwelcome. But I’m waiting for a 27 or 30” model anyway...
I'll second that. I know many people stuck in the Microsoft forever-contractor hell (QA, Project Management, etc) and all of them want to be employees. They've worked there longer than most current employees in their area. They get 40-50% of what Microsoft pays for them taken by their consulting agency who has a contract with MS legal, so the only way to get hired for their positions is through that company.

Its a huge financial burden for them to have to take these 6 months off. The worst part is since they're all "contract ended" so regularly, Microsoft can just say they're not reopening for many req's and many people who were waiting their 6 months to be up so they could go back are suddenly having to look for a totally different job.

> Owning a home as a form of wealth necessarily conflict with affordability.

It's impossible for a home to not be wealth, unless somehow infinite houses could be built for free.

So an argument can be had on how much wealth it should be and who gets to define that, but it is inescapable that it has some value.
Looking at the description on the website, it looks like this is going to be a non-starter for us projector users, sadly, as you have to point your camera at the screen within an inch or so from the surface. Hopefully there's some manual calibration option too.
Show HN: I made all-in-one passwordless and private identity platform
Hey! Looking for feedback on Passwordless Platform that we built.

With a simple drop in SDK you can make your app go passwordless. Choose the flow experience to be One-Click, Biometric, or Mobile App.

The best analogy way to explain is that we are like Auth0 but passwordless, and we are like Social Login but private. We combine best of both worlds: provide tools to completely outsource auth, yet enable cross app and cross domain Single Sign-On.

Live JS SDK demo is here: https://jsdemo.idemeum.com
I can only speak for myself, and I hate power bricks with a passion. You need to find a place to hide them, they are annoying when cleaning, and they are annoying when you move devices (need to untangle not only cable but also power brick).

Why get an all-in-one when it requires attaching a box to it? I might as well get a Mac mini at that point (which still has a built in PSU)
That's the spirit. Yesterday I won the man of the living room award sponsored by myself.

I don’t think there’s a convincing argument to be made for complaining about new full-time residents. For second homes and Airbnb’s however, I see a lot of potential for degradation that comes from having transient community members of that aren’t fully vested in the well-being of the local social & economic landscape. I think that measures such as additional taxation on secondary homes or blocking municipal voting rights of people who don’t live their for at least half the year, would do a lot to blunt the downsides of outside interest. But afaik I haven’t seen such things being put forward.

>a legitimate trading platform with fully built out functionality designed for people trading with that kind of volume

Note that many people have no reason to believe that Robinhood does not match this description (even I only assume it doesn't, but that's only based on perception, not anything remotely objective - I can't trade in quantities above 3 or 4 digits, so I don't feel the need to invest my time in learning the differences between Robinhood and more "legitimate" platforms).

Like you say, they do have a responsibility to learn such things, once they are trading in such volume, but Robinhood also creates zero barrier to entry, and knowing what you don't know is a real skill, and with those two facts, we do have to be thoughtful about precisely where we lay blame.
Not really. I'm a lawyer so I have a decent grasp of this stuff. Mens rea is closely tied to intent, not really to whether it had anything to do with intending to break a law (ignorance of the law is generally not a defense). Think of the difference between someone who commits premeditated murder, someone who commits manslaughter through gross negligence (e.g., a drunk driver), and someone who by complete accident is responsible for another's death (someone runs out in front of your car). In each case a person's actions directly cause another person's death, however we attach different levels of culpability to each. We're getting a little bit far afield from original issue, here, though. Anyway . . .
I had the same reaction as you... it looks like the vulnerability is coming from git, that's a very dangerous behavior.
Yeah. That sort of thing works, right up until some compiler gets released that optimizes it out. It's "portable C", but the behavior it's trying to produce is non-portable.

Especially note his guideline to look at the assembly output. The best guarantee is to simply check that the compiler did what you wanted.

There are also some aspects that a compiler is unlikely to alter. EG if you write code with no secret-dependent branches, no normal compiler will insert any secret-dependent branches during optimization. It's generally safe to rely on the compiler not being actively malicious or de-optimizing code.
"At the risk of sounding racist, Asian culture respect their commons to a significantly larger degree than non-Asian cultures."

Your gross-generalization is so poorly constructed it's hard for it to be wrong, never mind right. So I'll ask you a few questions instead.

How would you even begin to test your claim in a realistic way? What time period/s would you select? Even if it were true, would it matter? Would efforts to solve these problems best be dealt with government policy/funding/enforcement or by pushing "Asian culture" in Europe or Africa?

Do you really mean East Asia? Does Bangkok, New Delhi and Manila count as Asian? Does a skyscraper in the Philippines surrounded by gangs, illegal trade and graffiti not count if it is made of garbage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokey_Mountain)? What if it was closed and re-opened elsewhere, does that mean the culture changed twice?

Is your generalization "significant" in understanding why Tokyo is cleaner than New Delhi or Bangkok or why Toronto has fewer youth gangs than New York? Was their "respect" for "the commons" in Singapore in 1964 when youth gangs and others engaged in race warfare? Or is it just more respect for the commons now that Singapore is no longer part of Malaysia?

How does a communal "respecting their commons" work when most people in a society think it is okay to conduct trade in ivory or whales, that are illegal under international law? What about dumping plastic in the ocean, where Asia in the main source? Or does the "commons" not count if it refers to the rest of the world? Perhaps how much money a society has to clean up pollution is more predictive than culture? Maybe individualism is useful when an entire society needs to change in some fashion and perhaps less useful when norms are reasonable?

Is there a chance that you are bothered by the problems you cite, but find it convenient to say "culture" because it allows you to wash your hands of these problems?
Yeah, the underlying concern is about the propagation of "alternative stories", which tend to spread because of well-documented behavioral feedback loops with such stories in social media ("controversial" takes get more engagement, incentivizing more sharing!).

The actual solution is to legislatively neuter the algorithms that power social media. It's harder to do so we're doing the awful, dangerous, strategically-unwise thing (censoring) instead.
It could always turn a TV on or off. I had to change my television settings to allow it to accept commands over hdmi.
Where I grew up, people were far too judgmental to make honesty the right call in a lot of situations where it really shouldn't have been a problem.

If I had broken my laptop and was honest about it, they'd have gossiped about me, a child, as if I should have the sensibilities of an adult. They might have also gossiped about my parents. They wouldn't worry too much if I overheard—perhaps even making a point of it to 'teach' me something. They definitely wouldn't worry about their kids overhearing it, and then I'd have to deal with them judging me too (read: using it as an excuse to try to bully me). If one of their own bullying kids was the reason my laptop was broken I'd have gotten to deal with being called a liar on top of it all, which would have been an even bigger excuse to try to bully me.

Thing is, if I'd have broken it, I'd have done odd jobs and saved allowances to repay it. That wouldn't have changed anything about the community response, though.
Curious to see how this plays out. I would have expected apple to just extend the M1 a little longer rather than jumping to M2 since the M1 is still pretty limited in its robustness.

Probably doesn't qualify as "high performance", I've done video editing which stitches together a few 4K video sources. Gen 3 handles it without any stutter, lag, or heat.

I see no compelling reason to upgrade, but also, I didn't expect to. This just means that people who get an iPad Pro will now get a nicer one. Good for them.
Regarding space stations, why haven’t we seen a massive rise in project announcements based on the cheaper access to space due to SpaceX?
If you're only using Grafana for monitoring but not distributing it to your users as part of your product then I don't think you need to make your own product AGPL.

I'm sure if I'm wrong I will find out very quickly, this is HN after all.
Yes, spent most of 2020 without social media and I have found that most of my day was filled with 5 mins here and 10 mins there of just staring at my phone. After I got away from Tiktok, Instagram, and Reddit, I've seen a huge improvement in my mood and mental well-being.

There is a concept called "path dependence". Something may be important to get you from point A to point B, even if at point B you perhaps don't use it at all.

You start with a place with nice fruit trees near the river, then a few people build their houses there, then someone builds roads and a port, then someone builds larger houses, then someone builds factories... and at some moment in the future, there is a huge city, but the river is poluted and the trees were cut down.

There is another place with no trees and no river. Hundred years later, there is no city.
Not my point at all, though still pretty appalling.

It's quite trivial to install LineageOS, for instance, on an old Android phone. Apple completely blocks this route. If your iDevice is no longer supported, it becomes a shiny, expensive paperweight.

Text selection, and IOS keyboard autocorrect will forever fuck this platform until they fix it. Autocorrect on my IOS device is so dam bad now. "Fir" instead of "for" - no manner of resetting dictionaries will fix it. Think you can catch it? Well IOS will re-write the whole sentence for you when it thinks it knows the context resulting in utter garbage being output.

Using mail on IOS? Try clicking on a red underlined word to see the spelling correction. Its impossible. Its seriously so dam bad is embarrassing and ruins a very capable platform.

Neither earning money nor having a viable business model are bad things, but that's about as straw as a strawman argument comes. A business model existed before these changes. As far as I can tell, though, it's not _captured_ the value that the founders and investors seem to think ought to be their wealth.

Grafana Labs and all these other companies have recieved both value add and goodwill free marketing from open source contributions and communities, and I don't see these companies being at all interested in figuring out who/what they've gained value from, beyond the currently existing company, in order to make a profit and benefit the founders and shareholders.

I'm not against AGPL. I'm against the relicensing of software made in good faith against one model of OSS being discontinued and basically forked by the most prominent for-profit company that have hitherto received the significant benefits of both contributions and goodwill that being more freely open source brings.

By relicensing you've probably significantly reduced the number of companies willing to run future versions of your software, and the number of companies willing to build businesses off of extending it and offering that value add, while still potentially contributing changes upstream. You're going to slowly eat away at that good will and the number of people asking for your product internally, since fewer and fewer people will remember the benefit from their last gig.

I could be wrong here, only time will tell, but I honestly don't think this is a move that increases the long term sustainability of your business model. If anything, I think it's going to be detrimental in the long term. Perhaps even in the short term.

At any given time, there are hundreds of stories in the Tribune network that have gone viral on Reddit/Facebook and are generating millions of EU page views. They don’t just operate one local newspaper in Florida, and many local stories have broad appeal. As the parent comment mentioned, they very clearly run all of this content on the same CMS and wouldn’t need to integrate each paper’s website individually.
Except Gwyneth and friends are emulating Rogan’s ‘model’ and applying it to the female audience. Rogan and his style of broadcasting were around for almost a decade before Goop decided to start podcasting & make a TV show. Pretty smart on their part honestly. When I saw the Netflix show, all I could think of is ‘This is JRE for women’. Even using some of the same guests, and topics Joe had already popularized.

Can you tell me how Spotify is with playlists of comedy albums?

I started falling asleep to comedy a couple months ago to manage poor sleep based on a generally negative attitude. It was fine on YT Music for a while, but now a lot of the community playlists are garbage, or most of the clips have been pulled (I assume some copyright issues).

I'd move to Spotify for that, and pay, if they had a catalog of decent standup comedy.
By that metric almost every contractor I've ever worked with should be an employee. Which I sort of agree with. But you can come up with "well defined project's" when its really "staff-aug".

I think we mostly agree, we're just splitting hairs over the word "use". I'd say my mouse "uses" bluetooth instead of USB, even though it does still technically "use" USB as well to charge, albeit very infrequently.

I am surprised that most peripherals do still use USB-A to charge, and my argument did change to reflect that new information.
