I don't know if even copying small pieces of code verbatim should mean anything.

Another example is the photo generation ML algorithms that exist. They generate photos of random "people" (imaginary AI-generated people) by using actual photos of real people. If one eye or nose is verbatim copied from the actual photo to the generated photo, is the entire output now illegal or plagiarism? One might argue it's just an eye, the rest of the picture is completely different, the original photographer doesn't need to grant permission for that use.

Any analogies we make with this, be it text generation, image generation, even video generation, seems like it falls under the same conclusion: so far we've thought all of this was perfectly fine. I don't see why code-generation is any different. A function is just a tiny part of a project. It's not necessarily more important than the composition of a photograph, or a phrase in a book. We as programmers assign meaning to it, we know it takes time to craft it and it might be unique, but likewise a novelist may have spent weeks on a specific 10 word phrase that was reproduced verbatim, in a text of 500 pages.

The more I look at this the more it seems copyright, and IP law in general, is the main problem. Copyleft and OS licenses wouldn't be needed if it wasn't for the aggressive nature of IP law. I don't see the need to defend far more strict interpretations of it because it has now touched our field.
> If customers really want it, certainly there will be companies offering it.

There is customers that really want it and there's companies that offer it.

The big issue is that reparability is an afterthought, you only consider it once you need it and at that point, it's already too late. It's also a rare event, thus again something easy to forget.

That's all forgetting the environment impact of replacing a whole unit instead of defective parts. We sadly are far from being able to make companies responsible for the waste their product cause. This would at least make sure less waste is going out.

The craziest is that many right to repair cause aren't about forcing companies to do anything, many are just to allow people to repair their device. You simply can't repair a John Deere tractor without a license, which is just absurd.
do you think NYC making a law or regulation is going to lead to less corruption? This is NYC we are talking about after all.

> It's like the same idea of Uber and Lyft. Less human involvement = better world /S.

It's very easy and edgy to disdain the importance and positive impact of Uber and Lyft, but the truth of the matter is that the ride share revolution already introduced collosal improvements in quality of service in entrenched markets such as the old taxicab services.

I recall a time where unscrupulous taxicab services fraudulently inflated prices and made up twist-and-turn paths to fleece customers, and we're free to act as organized crime.

With rideshare services, you get routes and estimates generated a priori and in a deterministic way, and more importantly through a really auditable service. With rideshare services, a nasty driver is no longer totally shielded from criticism or consequences. With rideshare services, quality of service became something that was important to drivers.

And we have to than the Ubers ad Lyfts of the world for that.

It's control of the global commons. The elites (or "folks", lol) want to preserve their ability to engage in forms of consumption which put a burden on the climate's ability to absorb CO2 while excluding the rest of the world from it as much as possible.
Any reason you didn't take the work? Seriously locking down a phone seems like a rewarding cross-domain engineering challenge.

I'm honestly shocked at how most ultra-high risk people just use off the shelf products, sure they are addictive devices yes, but every few months there's another story of military, celebrity or political compromise because of their phones. It seems like a ripe field if you can somehow convince the end-user it's in their interest to reduce functionality.
Interstellar flight is an insane challenge. It’s one of the hardest things humankind can attempt yet still not beyond the laws of physics. That means you have to approach things from first principles and often have to invert the problem (“assume we manage interstellar flight by 2075. How did we do it?”, etc). It’s intellectually seductive in the best way.

I think it’s good to attempt such challenges, even if just conceptually, as it makes lots of other things seem a lot more achievable in contrast, sometimes almost laughably so.
You can add advertiser-unfriendly content. You can add Youtube-unfriendly content. But that won't necessarily prevent Youtube from forcing ads.

> * - There is no way to override a transitive dependency with npm (there is with Yarn though, so hopefully this feature will come to npm soon)*

I do not think this is a good idea as it allows consumer's of a library to utilize that dependency with untested, and unspecified transitive decencies What happens when a transitive dependency breaks the 1st level dependency? What a PITA that would be to try and fix.

Ask HN: One Person SaaS Biz – What Happens If I Die?
I'm 50 and run a small (but moderately successful) one-person SAAS business with yearly revenues > $120K. Like any business, I have various bank accounts, cloud accounts, API accounts, Stripe, credit cards, business registrations, email services, etc... that pretty much only I know about to make things work. I also have my entire codebase of my site (happens to be ASP.NET CORE C#) along with Git, DB Logins, Google Analytics, DNS, etc..etc... Finally, there is the workflow that is required to run the site - various little tasks need to be done each day, customer service responses, etc...

I really only need to put in a couple hours per day at the job but it doesn't make enough money to hire a 2nd person at the moment.

So...what if I died tomorrow? (hypothetically, of course)

My wife has a career of her own and is not technologically savvy enough to run my business.

I see 2 options:

1. Wind It Down: Some sort of documentation on all the services/accounts that need to be closed. But this can be tricky for non-techies (ex. just try to cancel an Azure account with various services/subscriptions)

2. Transition/Succession to another person. But who would have the various skills to take over my job? The knowledge base is so specific and, as I said, it won't really support another person at the moment.

My question is this:
How do other single person (or very small team) companies deal with planning for the death of a founder? Are their any companies, sites, services that can help in this transition (even just to Wind It Down)?
Yes, the stated original requirement to "find that one person who’s been suspended and is incredibly dangerous" does presuppose that the dangerous person is already in the system and you're just trying to find them.

I don't personally find the rationale persuasive, I'm just answering the question how it could possibly be considered useful.
Fortunately they're not mutually exclusive.

Expressing discontent with the status quo is one prong of consensus gathering.
Uber and Lyft are 100% a win though.

- It is now cheaper for the average person to get a ride to an airport/bar than it was before. It is safer, more predictable with timing, and more predictable with pricing.

- Uber drivers make more money today than taxi drivers used to/or do today. There are also way more job openings in this than there used to be, with less friction to get involved.

The world is not a zero sum game. Technology made this a win-win long-term although there were already some people caught in the middle with old business models. However, that really cant be a reason for us not to move on.
>not really, that's cultural.

Some things are cultural, however competition for mates and sexual selection is not one of them.

I see this attitude as a lateral movement of the anti Darwinists from Protestantism to woke. People compete with each other in order to be more desirable to more desirable mates and to win their affection. This is foundational to evolution itself. Saying ”not really" to established science which undergirds all medicine and biology is an expression of fundamentalist extremism no one should let pass.

Also, society confers far more esteem to cancer researchers than Hollywood moguls exactly because they make a positive contribution.

Sorry. It's wrong to let that kind of ignorance pass unrebutted.
Probably they get away with it, but it definitely seems against the spirit of the GPL just as closed source GitHub existing because of open source software seems quite hypocritical.
I use a different frame of reference. The US Government cannot change a decentralized system. But it can regulate you and the companies you use to interact with Crypto.
> ...but when taught correctly it’s really the most important.

I think this is the most important point in most discussions about education.

I feel that everyone I know has had classes or professors that they either really disliked or really liked, but I also feel that there is a strong chance that many of the cases were not due to them not simply enjoying the subject matter, but instead the content being taught poorly. No matter how well we optimize the selection and ordering of classes, it is of no use if the content is not taught well.

For what it's worth, I thought all of my English learning was pretty atrocious.
I never had the luxury to limit my research to these places only. Actually I ran into one of these places once in 5 moves and it was a coliving space. I’m convinced they don’t even exist or you’d be looking at 1-2 places for an absurd price.
Absolutely. For smaller/medium sites where you want some accountability but real time isn't required there are solutions out there like CyberLock - to get historical information you wait for keys to either check in as they charge or you can run around and touch the locks with a key and the system will do a status update.

It's not as convenient as wired/connected systems, but it's also a fraction of the price too. You can pick what's more important - real time or price :)
I think its pretty nice that they care enough about normal / poor people to be willing to try and prevent global warming as long as those same normal / poor people pay for it and the rich are not inconvenienced.
"Super-Saharan Africa" was a joke, meant to draw attention to the farce of this associative naming convention in general. Hence "Left Africa" and "Right Africa". :)

Now, I'll ask you to take it seriously. If it's not a matter of concern for you, but it is for me, it would seem most fair to address my concern (since it's apparenty beneath your care). But if you do care, I'm happy to have that conversation. As stated, I would like to remove hierarchy (or the connotation of hierarchy) from the terminology altogether, and more explicitly refer to directionality. If you disagree with this course, please say why (beyond, "It shouldn't matter," because at this point we'd have agreed that it does).
We've gone through a bunch (including the Igloohome locks mentioned in the post) and landed on Yale's Assure line, specifically the YRD216 model with a physical keypad (not the touchscreen). Deployed in 100s of homes now (we're also property managers) with really no issue. We use Z-Wave to control but their modular system allows for Zigbee as well.

I would avoid the Schlage "Smart Deadbolt" model. At least when it comes to remote control they're pretty awful. (They're also hideous imo)
Yes? If the latter is accomplished, the former becomes trivial.
How do people think developers learn?! Many probably recite copyrighted code almost verbatim on the reg. Storm in a tea cup.
No, they didn't. That document literally discusses that they only wiretap overseas messages, likely because they couldn't legally wiretap US messages (though it should be noted that the Australian police did have a warrant for the wiretaps in their jurisdiction).
How will it find the “correct” license?

Will it check the LICENSE file? Simply having a LICENSE file is not a declaration that all the code in that repo is under that LICENSE.

What if specific lines/files are specified to be under different licenses?

What if the publisher of the repo is publishing it under an incorrect license in bad faith?

Will github be responsible if it tells me the wrong license?
Agreed, they should show it before signup.

We could roll our own solution using any of the above offerings (or something built in house), but it's cheap enough for our usecase that we don't see a point.
While the United States Constitution's First Amendment identifies the rights to assemble and to petition the government, the text of the First Amendment does not make specific mention of a right to association. Nevertheless, the United States Supreme Court held in NAACP v. Alabama (1958) that freedom of association is an essential part of freedom of speech because, in many cases, people can engage in effective speech only when they join with others.

The type system is also Turing-complete, therefore non-terminating. It would be arbitrarily hard to write a spec in a non-Turing-complete language such that all implementations would admit the same set of programs, or even (responsive to the original claim) reliably only a smaller set.
A lease is also a plus for the renter that the rent will not change for the duration of the lease. Some places rent month to month but they may up the rent every month if the market suggests they can. Of course that could be solved by regulation I guess if a landlord was only allowed to change the rent between tenants and or once a year or so.
Just goes to show fighting climate change is nothing but a power grab that makes life more miserable for regular people and making them more dependent on the rich and government.

CuriousMarc got a VFD box that he thinks will power this, as well as some gyroscopes. I don't know the particular model.
This probably depends on local laws / lease details, but doesn't the landlord generally have an obligation to make a fair effort of filling the vacancy?

At least with the leases I've signed, if they didn't intentionally fill a vacancy with a decent candidate they would be opening themselves up to some contractual legal exposure
All of the copyright cases were settled, so no precedence is set. Open source as a contract has been ruled legal, and licensors can sue for breach of contract - which is not the same as copyright infringement.

I think my point still stands.
Beamed propulsion of some sort (not necessarily using lasers) relying primarily on solar energy is the best option. Nuclear is useful for ancillary propulsion. Chemical not useful except for launching all the stuff around the solar system to build such a system.
RE: #2 It's not about any single word, it's about the use of words together. ex.

I can 100% imagine tech companies doing all of those things you mention hating brokers for—not having virtual apartment layouts, not having the ability to choose your roommates, using dark patterns to try and bait and switch you into a crappier unit...

The difference isn't between brokers / tech companies, it's between a new market entrant (who is trying to convey a user-friendly atmosphere to attract userss/good press) vs an ossified market where brokers have no incentive to cater to renters, despite the fact that they're ostensibly working for them, since they're chosen exclusively by landlords.

Five years later, there's nothing preventing the tech companies from working in exactly the same way—the reality is that any company that's chosen exclusively by the landlord and not accountable to the tenants is going to face exactly the same set of incentives, since supply-side shortages dominate the urban housing market.

No, not natively in the sense the built-in Camera app can do it, but that's not what the comment was saying.
Not surprising. The biggest expense for a landlord is finding reliable tenants. Churn is HIGHLY undesirable, and thus the market adjusts accordingly.

I may need something temporary - at this point I'll just stay in an extended stay hotel vs. trying to find a place to rent. Anything under a year is, as you note, problematic.

I dunno, the "logic" solution seems like the obvious one to me; if your boss really has that much trouble with propositional logic that they don't immediately see why it works, well, that's what code comments are for.

(...the trick is still cool, though; I can imagine other situations where it would be more useful. However it does seem like it potentially depends on the particular regex engine being used, in contrast to the author's claim about it being totally portable; yes, it'll compile on anything, but will it work?)

Simple answer: We can make it connect just fine, but we either need to give up on value extraction (i.e. "pay a fee to connect"), or on security.

Captive WiFi fundamentally relies on intercepting all Internet traffic to send you to the captive page. That's only possible with fake certificates, because you want to provide a response on behalf of the website the user wanted to go to. This wasn't originally part of "how the Internet works", because "pay as you go" just wasn't considered during the design.

But... we've solved that problem. rfc8910 does specify how you can use DHCP to work around that. Except, it doesn't work for legacy clients. So those will still be supported in existing setups anyways.

And since everybody's supporting legacy setups, the incentive for any single provider to even implement the new method is about zero.

The whole mess is a result of replacing the engine while flying the airplane, in an environment optimized for rent seeking behaviors. We can do the right thing, but we choose (collectively) not to spend the money.

I never held that it causes confusion. The duplicity of meaning is probably, in fact, a bonus for some. I don't like that duplicity. I would rather the terminology be unambiguous and direct, if it is possible (and, in this case, it is).

One question I haven't really see talked about is: when you get a suggestion through copilot and save the document, who is the author of the document?

I think this may be the crux of this whole kerfuffle.

If you're the author isn't it on you if you infringe?

If not then perhaps you and GitHub/Microsoft share authorship/culpability?

Who has the copyright to a piece of text generated by a tool? Or art generated by a model?
I said nothing close. I won't reciprocate the accusation of bad faith.
Right - that's an argument to use a centralized payment service (which Apple Pay, Google Pay, Paypal, etc. (probably) fulfill). I (might have mis-)read that part of your post as being about micro-payment systems not being necessary.

I'm not sure whether or not Google & Apple pay are "micro-" enough, though. Do they charge per-transaction fees that are significant enough that 5 cent transactions are infeasible? What's the transaction time like? Can you set up 1-click payments?
It's getting to be that you almost can't engage in any everyday transaction in the US over $1000 that doesn't involve showing an online-verified ID.

> If Github hosts AGPL code, does that mean that github's own code must be AGPL? Obviously not. What's the difference?

GitHub's TOS include granting them a separate license (i.e., not the GPL) to reproduce the GPL code in limited ways that are necessary for providing the hosting service. This means commonsense things like displaying the source text on a webpage, copying the data between servers, and so on.
