The really awkward thing is that human level isn't a discrete level but a wide range based upon the set of all humanity. Not just our assumptions of such. If a new outlier was somehow born with the intelligence of a mealworm or what was previously believed to be a level only reachable by a superintelligence those vast anomalies would still have human level intelligence.

We don't actually apply the set based standards properly but instead based upon imaginary ideas of human level. If we did consistently operate on set logic and the directive people reduced to brainstem autonomous functions only would eithervmake eating plants unethical or we would be arbitrarily excluding humans from the set for reasons other than absolute ethical.

To go more fantastic it would be consistent with ethics to declare obligate murderous vampires who must eat humans non-human because their existence literally depends unconditionally on taking human lives and it falls into paradox of tolerance.

Instead our standard for the irreversible brain stem only is to eventually withdraw life support or harvest their organs as they are effectively judged dead.
range, availability, or charging which are solved enough

But are they really? Especially for charging, I'm still not convinced.

The articles makes a case that you can go and grab a coffee while your ID.4 charges in 30 minutes at a high-speed charging stations. Sorry, but "30 minutes" and "high-speed" in one sentence seems somewhat misplaced. Who can afford to just waste 30 minutes for charging on a regular basis?

I currently live in a suburb in central Europe. I just checked on https://chargemap.com/ for my area - I don't know how up-to-date their map is but there are only a few charging stations within 20 minutes from my house, none of which is a high-speed charging station.

And unlike houses in North America, almost none of the houses on my street has a drive way, i.e., me and most of my neighbors park on the road, sometimes a few houses down from mine - so, no chance for charging a car over night at home. Of course, before I moved to the burbs, I sometimes had to park a few streets away at night because apartment buildings here typically don't offer parking garages (they exist, but it's not common).

Unlike some people with strong opinions, I'm actually in favor of electric cars. However, the practicability is just not there for the way a lot of everyday life is currently organized in many parts of the world.
You almost certainly should not have 10PB of data. Not just is it extremely expensive, it is unlikely that millions of people have each allowed you to take gigabytes of their data. You are sitting on a huge violation of CCPA, GDPR, and other privacy laws, as well as copyright issues.
If you are scraping data off the Internet you likely have content illegal to poses in several different countries (such as child sexual abuse material or videos of ISIL killings).
As a startup you do not have the legal and technical capabilities to manage this data so you should not have it.
Makes sense to me too. Given all the attempts at alternatives that don't quite work, I'd fully support an evolution of what headless means and hope to see other libraries about it. The context makes it pretty obvious.
Betteridge’s Law strikes again. If it is honorary, you don’t get to use the title. Everyone should know this and it doesn’t matter if you feel you “deserve” your honorary degree more than others. If you didn’t write the dissertation, you don’t get the title. List it on your CV but don’t use the title or request others refer to you that way.

Moreover, although some people are definitely swayed by titles and degrees, once you have achieved a level of notoriety and respect in an industry or subject matter, titles really do become meaningless. I want my actual medical doctor to have a degree. Same with my dentist and my lawyer. I don’t really care about the engineer or academic or author.

Pseudo-related note. I used to work with a person who signed all of their emails [first] [last], Ph.D as if anyone cared (it was wholly irrelevant to his work). When they rage quit in a mass email to the team, they had to send the email twice because they forgot the Ph.D the first time. I’ve never laughed harder at the amount of self-satisfaction on display in my life.
So that’s what people use in conversation? They don’t use “doctor” as a synonym for physician?
No, implicit to the point is that what the CDC/FDA did was follow the ongoing drug safety monitoring protocols that have long been established for Emergency Use Authorization.
Google Play Movies does this too. I can "buy" a movie for $20 and I'm blessed with the ability to "download" it only through the app on up to 5 whole devices as long as it's in their catalogue. Incredible!

It's only a slightly shadier practice than Spotify, but with Spotify there's no implication of owning anything, just accessing it and caching it, but Spotify (and Netflix) are great examples of how your favourite movies can go missing on a weekly basis.

The ID4 is precisely the next step EVs need towards affordability. The base ID4 will cost $33,690 after federal tax credit (and after destination fee). A top trim 2021 Subaru Forester costs about $32-34k (MSRP is $36k, this is the price after dealer discounting according to KBB).

Still not quite as affordable considering we're talking about a top trim Subaru, but definitely getting close. And after state rebates / if someone factors in gas costs, the ID4 can come out ahead.

When people say BSD-style licenses are "more permissive" than GPL - this is what they mean. You truly can do whatever you want, as long as you observe the license requirements (i.e. retain the BSD license notice). One can close-source a fork (but keep the notice), or add an additional compatible license like the GPL or AGPL (but keep the BSD notice), or add a license that bars use by cat-lovers (but keep the BSD notice).

> I'm not so sure, if the go authors are happy about that.

Then they should probably switch to a different license - one that more closely mirrors their intent. The cat's out of the bag for all released versions though.

> In fact, one requirement is the very fact you can't remove the license text itself

The same section with that requirement also says you may use a different license terms for that notice as long as it complies with the terms of the Apache 2.0 license. In this case since the AGPLv3 is a superset of the Apache 2.0 license it can be substituted for the Apache 2.0 license per these terms.
I asked people to read the license, it's all explained in the license. There's no ambiguity, it's really clear cut.

Seems as that's apparently an unreasonable expectation, I'll quote a previous HN comment I've made in regard to Apache 2.0:

> I think this is a common misconception. The Apache 2.0 license isn't all that similar to simpler licenses BSD/MIT/X11.

> Apache 2.0 has some clauses which (most people tend to ignore and which) make it somewhat incompatible with modern open-source fork and pull request workflows.

> In particular 4.b)

> > You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files;

> For the most part, people just throw their name in the file, in an attempt to "meet" this requirement without massacring the file header/notice.

> However, if the Apache 2 license is taken at face value, when you fork and modify a file, you have to mark it as such. Then when you submit back, the project (in adherence with the Apache 2.0 license) has to retain this notice. Technically the project may even then need to add their own notice to indicate they modified the file since you did.

> Clearly, that's not tenable, so most (small) projects just offer leeway. Larger projects instead have contributor agreements (AOSP and alike).
Google and Apple attacked on app store 'monopoly'
Why not downsample everything to 10% the size, put those online, and use Amazon Glacier for the originals? (e.g. for exporting)

If you're storing images and videos directly from the phone, they can be downsampled drastically without losing quality on a viewing device that anyone's likely to have.

It's unlikely that anyone wants to download the full size copy, and if they do, they can wait a few hours for Glacier.

You could expose this to the customer, e.g. offer direct access of originals at 2x or 5x the price. But 99.9% of people will be OK with immediate access to quality images/video and eventual access to the unmodified originals.
In fact, now that the line can be blurred means we will need to put the matter up for lawyers, legislators, and judges to decide. What can go wrong there?
The problem is not acknowledging that elementary school functions as daycare. That is obvious and important. The problem is asserting that it only functions as daycare (which many do - in bad faith - when the topic is discussed).

Is sublicensing and relicensing the same thing? Sublicensing to AGPL should definitely be OK, but does that mean they can just relicense all contributed code and remove all mentions of Apache2? Seems doubtful to me.

This GNU article [1] explicitly mentions that subsumed licenses still need to be mentioned in the source.

See also Richard Hamblyn's The Invention of Clouds, a biography on Luke Howard:

> In December 1802, Luke Howard delivered a lecture that was to be a defining point in natural history and meteorology. He named the clouds, classifying them in terms that remain familiar to this day: cirrus, stratus, cumulus, and nimbus. This new and precise nomenclature sparked worldwide interest and captured the imaginations of some of the century's greatest figures in the fields of art, literature, and science. Goethe, Constable, and Coleridge were among those who came to revere Howard's vision of an aerial landscape. Legitimized by the elevation of this new classification and nomenclature, meteorology fast became a respectable science.

> If you’ve tried getting your device on the Internet, you’ll know that it’s typically not very easy.

That is true. Doing that in a secure and responsible way is really hard.

Mmm... so a free one click service that puts your video stream live on the internet?

What could go wrong?

Doing this properly is a hard problem, but I get zero confidence from reading this that they a) have the competence to do it or b) will continue to maintain it as a free service.

Given that big name companies get hacked when they’re trying very hard not to be, I think there some cause to think this is a an anti-feature for this product.

> There is absolutely nothing positive about advertisements on websites from the perspective of their users. They eat up valuable screen space and bandwidth for something that nobody wants to see. They often manipulate and misinform. They have even been the source of security vulnerabilities many times in the past.

It's weird that web advertising is utterly terrible and toxic but I am actually nostalgic for print ads from Fry's Electronics (rip). They were one of my favorite parts of print newspapers.

Old computer magazines also had great advertisements.

By all accounts -- even his own -- he's pretty socially clueless.

That seems to be a root cause of why he's so controversial. No one seems able to imagine he acquired his stature due to technical expertise alone.

Everyone seems to imagine you have to also be smooth, diplomatic, well-mannered, etc to be at the top of anything. Merely being a technical genius and pioneer couldn't possibly be the explanation, no.

> since the AGPLv3 is a superset

It's not, and I already covered this.

AGPLv3 has nothing that is a direct superset of Apache 2.0's requirement 4b.

The closest is the section "5. Conveying Modified Source Versions." However, the terms are not the same. Section 5 is a subset of 4b, not a superset.

Specifically, 4b pertains to individual files, 5 pertains to the "work" as a whole.

The requirement to mark each modified file is not present in AGPLv3, ergo it's not a superset.

Also worth noting, in section 5 of the AGPLv3:

> Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.

The AGPLv3 is very explicit that it's on terms do not replace the terms of its aggregate components.

i.e. You can license a whole work as AGPLv3, but the components are still Apache 2.0. To use those components, you must adhere to those terms.

In this case, if you modify Apache 2.0 files, you must still indicate you've done so. So Minio should not be removing the Apache 2.0 from the repository, doing so is a violation of the Apache 2.0 and may cause contributors and users to also unknowingly violate the Apache 2.0.
Some companies have no AGPL policy.

That's like berating someone who took a dive out of an airplane without a parachute about their smoking habit.

Actually it's not. I'm a liar. The time it'll take someone to fall 5km vs their smoking habit killing them is still about an order of magnitude from 100 years / 10 billion years.

There is one near me (Dayton, OH). Not exactly as parent described, it is more of an outdoor mall, with lots of restaraunts, there is a gym, but no grocery store. The apartments are quite expensive for the area. I can certainly see the appeal.
I always address him as Doctor Stallman, without giving much thought to how it officially works.

Exactly even those will have same the chips as the regular cars. Just because you have big expensive chip and stuff for self-driving doesn't mean the other systems doesn't use standard off-the-shelve solutions like ABS and so on and on.

People just think the CPU or GPU, but what about power supply, peripherals, busses? All sorts of auxiliary stuff...
I'm pretty sure the idea that drawing a line somewhat arbitrarily implies there shouldn't be a line is a straw man. Who is arguing this? The quote from the article advocates for more stringent morals--that beings that aren't fully human should be given similar moral weight as humans. It also suggests, more broadly, that we should reconsider both where these lines are drawn and if they should really be lines instead of gradients. But I see no indication that the lines should become less restrictive or any trend toward barbarism.
The retail portion of a mall is so much more valuable that it is difficult to make economic sense out of that sort of configuration. [1] Architecturally isolating access and services for residential and office uses will tend to dramatically increase costs of those lesser uses...you don't want random mall patrons to have access to the residential areas. If the offices are accessible from the mall use, then why not build more mall which can be rented at much higher rates and can compliment the other stores?

Finally, there is the issue of investment. There are big pots of money for each use...investors who invest in retail, office, and residential. The pots of money for non-conventional projects are much much smaller. One reason is that with mixed use, there are three economic cycles that have to be timed. The retail, office, and housing sectors don't cycle in lock-step.

Your good ideas in real-estate only have legs if you have the money to make them happen. And the time. You're talking a several hundred million dollars and a decade optimistically down the happy path. More likely more since most mall land is already malls and you will have to acquire multiple parcels from multiple owners without them being the wiser and holding out for premium prices.

[1]: Retail uses produce so much income that it makes sense for them to sit vacant for many years instead of converting to some other use.

I think it's a bit more complicated than that looking at the wiki article. It seems to have been very successful to begin with, but then the mosquitos became resistant to DDT and western countries have a climate advantage. Notably, they did try it in poorer countries too.

An interesting factoid about his alma mater: MIT awards no honorary doctorates. The only path to an MIT PhD is the old-fashioned way: You have to earn it.
To be fair, there are many different kinds of doctorates. Many will be surprised to learn that most lawyers are doctors too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juris_Doctor

I don't really know all that much about Stallman himself, but doctorates (and degrees in general) are awarded a bit arbitrary anyway. I don't see what's less valuable about an honorary degree. I'd be more inclined to look at which universities it is that award the doctorates, honorary or not. Here, Stallman has an honorary degree from KTH in Sweden. There aren't all that many tech universities with a higher pedigree than KTH.
Remember, AGPL does not stop you from self-hosting or running a business on the software! It only requires you to share changes if you modify the software, which is a very reasonable requirement.

I'm planning on launching a managed S3-alike service later this year and Minio is going to be what I use, it remains to be seen if they'll go to SSPL/BSL or anything else when enough people do this (maybe most wouldn't because of AGPL FUD so that's my uncommon advantage?).

On a wider note though, is this going to be the projects/companies now?

- Start permissively F/OSS project

- Entice the community to contribute/produce content/market

- (optional) Sell the project/cash out some how/get acquihired

- Change the license of the project

- Make all the new stuff source-available but not F/OSS to encourage people to get commercial licenses

- ???

- Insert ads/subtle advertisements/banners into the OSS product so people are discouraged from hosting it (this is speculation, I assume this is what comes next)

I sure do wish projects would be SSPL/BSL from the beginning, I want the freedom to be able to build a business on my freely obtained immensely valuable software, including hosting it, without worrying about rent seeking activity later.

PS: yes, I'm aware of how incredibly selfish that last bit sounds, but I want to be honest about it -- this is what everyone is doing and why F/OSS software won. There's a world where we can build sustainable F/OSS software that runs on something other than donations, and IMO it looks like what Let's Encrypt's managed to do, where organizations that gain immense value from something do revenue-share style deals, but that's a discussion for another time.

[EDIT] I just want to soften this -- I am NOT against companies making money from software. IMO AGPL is a great license because it actually maintains that freedom and requires contribution back (or monetary support). I just find that I am increasingly on edge whenever I see projects advertised as "open source" (but not free) and wonder if I'm just walking into a very nice, free-for-me mouse trap.

BSL is a very nice license as well, it's straight forward, and IMO a great way to build an open source software company -- no one gets mad at Sentry for their license terms, because it's straight forward and obvious, and still giving a way value for free, just on a time delay.

[EDIT2] I could have sworn there was a license that was like BSL but required anyone making over 1MM/year using the software to make some sort of contribution back, licenses like that might be cool too.

Part of the problem is accounting. Since the value of a battery pack is highly variable depending on its remaining life, the only way it would work is if you subscribed/leased the battery so it didn't matter what the delta in value of the packs are.

Without that, you have to return to the exact same swapping station and pickup your original battery.
