Thanks for more details. I do understand how AGPL and GPL work. Both are strong copyleft license. My experience with AGPL is: lawyers would review the request to use AGPL code on a case-by-case basis because of the risk of having to expose modifications to the source code and would always make a decision based on the context of usage. AGPL and GPL are definitely a problem in embedded world but not so for hosted systems.

I would argue that, for a player committed to host an AGPL licensed system, it narrows down to properly fencing the system from proprietary systems.

I personally maintain an AGPL based project but I treat the "lawyers will not touch it" as a case of "security by obscurity".

There's nothing fuzzy about access over the network:

> The GNU Affero General Public License is based on the GNU GPL, but has an additional term to allow users who interact with the licensed software over a network to receive the source for that program. We recommend that people consider using the GNU AGPL for any software which will commonly be run over a network.

If a corporation hosts an unmodified or even modified version of the AGPL system, where they can afford to share their modifications, they can still leverage their scale / network effect and take the creator out of business.
It just depends on the difference between what you can get today, and what you expect to get in the future and when.

If you discount it to 80% today and then rent it at that rate for 10 years, you'll lose 10% compared to if you leave it empty for a year and rent it for 9 years at 100% of asking price. Obviously financial calculations have a lot more complexity than that, but it illustrates why someone would prefer a vacant property. It's based on expectations of future income.
Reminds me of my time on TF2 servers when I was a kid. Everyone knew everyone on our main server and it was a community. It's something that discord doesn't a decent job at capturing today, but unfortunately not selfhosted. Matrix is interesting, but I'm waiting for their new Go implementation (dendrite?). The deployment for matrix feels like it's heavier than it should be. I feel like I should be able to spin up a process and point to the port and call it a day. Maybe the overhead is from the need for authentication for federation, but I personally don't care about federation for my purposes.
Everything is an object, and it “just works” for most purposes. (Not nearly as many as I would like, but still; it has backwards-compatibility to consider, so I'll cut it some slack.)

If you need to start installing your own user packages, you need `pip` and then `venv` and then things get ugly, but for the usual case where the sysadmin deals with all that (or you're on Windows), it works quite well.

To avoid having to directly pay out to the owners of the property the state can lease the water rights back to the farmers. This way everyone’s unhappy but we escape the status quo and aging farmers could live off the water rights.
What military are you talking about? I'm unaware of this being used by the any of the US branches since it's incredibly inaccurate compared to either prone firing, kneeling, or standing.

In fact, the only place I've ever seen people firing from the hip are Schwarzenegger and Stallone movies...

Agreed, if it was easy it would have been done already. I’d be interested in case studies comparing the implementation details from other countries that shad to face this challenges earlier (eg Australia).

Regarding your concrete proposal - that seems like a purely free-market proposal that accepts that farmers should be able to capture all of the value from appreciation in their water rights over time. I imagine that would be politically difficult; at the other end of the spectrum is to say that the water rights should never have been sold and that it is a public good.

I would say that while I think a market on water prices would fix the problems with wasteful usages, I’m not sure I’d go so far as to support a market on water rights allocation, since there are other uses other than agriculture. But maybe the transfer liberalization program you suggest would just be within existing agricultural uses?

I did see an article a while back that was discussing micro-metering which allowed farmers to sell slices of their allocation - seems like there is a technical challenge here as well.

I expect the actual process of water right reforms in CA will be messy and tilt mostly towards the farmers, as there is no focused special interest group to fund lobbyists against theirs.

The "Hard Problem" is much more specific - and speculative - than the observation that current theories have made little or no progress (whether they have made any progress remains to be seen, and any claim that they have not is just opinion.) It is the claim that the scientific method cannot, in principle, explain the "what it is like" aspect of experience - that there is some sort of unbridgeable explanatory gap.
I came here to read the inevitable second-order effects discussion, that is to say, if cities enact things like vacancy rate they will cause extra unforeseen problems.

But, I've never seen anyone discuss second order effects from hedge funds, or rich developers.

Can someone explain why second order effects are only relevant and as powerful when it is a government entity. Hedge funds and large corporations often seem like they have more power and often much more agility than governments. And, they have impacts far greater as well at times.

Is this a relevant question? What am I missing?
I don't think purposeful circular dependency, but you can end up with circular imports after refactoring for instance.

The common approach to solving this is pulling everything that is used by all the modules into leaf libraries, effectively creating a directed acyclic graph, but this is not obvious nor easy to do the first time.
Even if this is true, the sheer number of dotfiles and such type of repos is probably the biggest factor to this. Or people using it for random stuff. A repo doesn’t mean it is intended to have community contribution.
I think a lot of this is because, especially historically, people outside Czechia etc didn't know how to type Š. It's an effect of English-speaking countries defining global standards for computers, aviation and so on.

Hypothetically, and with a little exaggeration to make the point, if Sweden had somehow had that global influence in the mid-20th century, the American actress "Raquel Welch" might have been stuck with "Rakuel Velch" in her passport, and Swedish people would wonder why she was annoyed by this.
You are right! We are looking into launching a live demo version that users can play around with.
Nope. If you colocate hardware which you own (which is what colocation means), then they can't just go get your hardware. Even if they break the law and nab your hardware, you'll know because it's down.

With VPSes, they can get your data and you might never know. It's an extremely important distinction.
Property taxes are a cost passed on to renters or potential renters, so an increasing empty-building tax proposal means increasing the price of something people don't want until the owner is forced to sell it. This is the quality of logic of tax policy advocates, and it needs to be addressed directly.

In my experience they creep in over time as the system grows. Coupling between parts of the system that was previously unnecessary is added, and the cycles form.
Reasonable question given the usual approach to structure editors, which have users directly modify the AST. tylr adopts a more indirect approach, where your program is presented in an alternate (modal) tile-based syntax with its own syntax-directed editing. The point of this indirection is to give you more text-editor-like flexibility, but unlike text tylr makes sure you can always (in the default mode) transform your program from the tile-based syntax to the abstract syntax.

It might help to think of restructuring mode, the mode automatically entered upon constructing `(`, as a transactional editing mode in which you specify your AST-to-AST transformation.
I have YouTube search and watch history turned off. Yet if I watch a video that someone sent me a link to, I will still get that exact video or others related to it in my recommendations afterwards. Normally, only videos that I explicitly save (by upvoting or subscribing to a channel) should alter my recommendations, but clearly Google is still saving something.
I see. You use the time value of money to reduce the total cost by giving back the near term years and only “really” buying from x years out. Clever!

Not explicitly mentioned: this saves NASA almost $2 billion, or half the cost of the actual spacecraft. The previous SLS-mandated launch was estimated to cost about $2B per launch with no guarantee that there'd be an actual rocket available. Though, the savings mean it'll take longer to get there, 3.5 years vs 5 years.

Since it's not mentioned in the article, it should be kept in mind that most practicing physicists and neuroscientists consider Penrose's theories of the brain to be philosophy rather than science, and many consider it pseudoscience. It doesn't make practically testable predictions yet, and it doesn't provide additional explanatory power compared to classical (non-quantum) theories of the brain for any existing observations.

The research described in this article is similar. Even interpreting it charitably, it has nothing to do with the human brain. The research shows that it may be possible to build quantum devices with certain properties that could have high communication complexity. It doesn't show that human brains have any of these properties or that these properties are in any way necessary to explain consciousness.
Python imports aren't necessarily always importing Python source code -- they can be pyc (bytecode) files, or C API extensions, etc.

These are slightly more complicated than "load the script at this path".

There's probably a more detailed answer, in that historically, decisions were made that we're now stuck with. Python packages can and sometimes intentionally have import-time side effects, for example. They must be only run once, without relying on convention, or we break existing code.
But despite being terrible the Python import system is remarkably easy to get started in. And generally easy for beginners to work with (put all the code in the same folder or "pip install").

There are some lessons here that other languages would do well to learn. Trouble importing 3rd party libraries must be a kiss of death for beginner engagement.

> Why not just let the market take care of it?

Because land is an awful example of a free-market commodity. It's not like you can set up a land factory to drive prices down (outside the Netherlands and Singapore I suppose...), and it's something everyone needs to live an even vaguely decent life.

And even worse, someone who owns land doesn't need to do a damn thing to make it increase in price; it's the businesses and people living around it that do that. So money sitting in real-estate is far less useful to society than money invested into productive businesses.
The Rise of Financial Therapy
The expectation can be significantly different from reality, because that's how humans work. We form an expectation of what something is intrinsically worth, and then get surprised when market conditions change. People still see that pinned price as the "true" price, and any differences as temporary fluctuations soon to be corrected once people change their minds.

I agree that it is illogical to expect a significant change in market price after several years of low demand. However, I don't think people behave perfectly logically, and so it is important to also determine what people are likely to do.
> VW haven’t taken Tesla market

Sure. Tesla used to be the biggest BEV maker in Europe and now they're not. That's a lot of sales Tesla didn't make.

> Companies like Toyota, Nissan and Honda could go either way but I’m not seeing promising signs of them taking the inevitability of EVs seriously.

Toyota sold the most cars in 2020 and has been setting sales records in 2021:

https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Markets/Toyota-s-strong-sal...

The idea that Toyota is somehow going away any time soon is faulty.

> No, the Leaf isn't serious.

The Leaf is one of the best selling EVs in the history of EVs.

> The thing about Tesla is it’s hard to overstate the technology lead they have over rivals—particularly in terms of manufacturing costs through aggressive part simplification & count reduction

Fantasy. The reality is Tesla is raising prices again and again:

https://electrek.co/2021/07/22/tesla-tsla-increases-model-3-...

Meanwhile Volkswagen is reducing prices on the ID.3 and ID.4. The cost savings of the common MEB platform enable them to do so. It lets them price models under the limits of government subsidies:

https://www.electrive.com/2021/07/05/vw-drops-i-d-prices-in-...

Volkswagen has built EVs to sell at competitive price points. Whatever happened to that $35k Model 3?

Maybe. However, the rates at which I'm seeing long Covid seem entirely novel. Something like 30% of all cases in a recent study show signs of it, including mild cases. I admit there are overlaps in fatigue syndrome (and should've phrased my original comment differently), but AFAIK we've usually only seen that in severe infections with other diseases while we're seeing abnormally high rates of (to varying degrees) cognitive impairment even in mild or asymptomatic Covid infections.

The ton of driver code that piles up in the Linux kernel every minute doesn't go through Torvalds. It is delegated.

And my reviewing of a few drivers source short commits is enough to tell me that those delegates do not perform a satisfyingly thorough review by any mean.

Heck, I saw patches of just a couple dozen lines which exhibited bad copy-pasting errors anyone without prior knowledge could have spotted. You don't need to know what the code does to spot some, you don't either need to know what the driven device does to spot some: purely formal errors with bad macros definitions for example. This kind of stuff wouldn't even pass the first internal review where I worked, which just looked at formal appearance (then there were more in depth reviews, and then there was an external review, but we'd make as sure as possible that our code would be clean before going out).

So first you have people (employees of company A) which sends code to a public, external project without having done a proper internal review. Then you have someone else (employee from company B) who claims to have reviewed the commit but hasn't done it properly or at all. And then possibly a third someone who validates this, but doesn't actually check either. It has become a job, a task like another, with the same people who do the same sloppy job as quickly as possible to get rid of it and go home earlier or slack, in the same proportion that you can find in any other position in the world.
Internally at Amazon people are expected to spin up entire separate AWS “conduit” accounts for different environments. So this only applies if you’re running everything out of one account, which is bad form.

My educated guess: internet shopping, combined with property owners that don’t want to face reality and tell their accountants their shops aren’t worth what they used to be (a 100% guess is that’s sometimes due to incorrect incentives. If a property manager gets a bonus based on the (perceived) value of a property, more so than on the income it generates, raising prices can be the optimal short-term strategy, even if it means shops close left and right)

I don’t think it will happen in the USA, but I think a solution would be to tolerate squatting, if the squatters improve the neighborhood.

That does not seem like a realistic problem for very many places. If a jurisdiction contains land with so little value that it won't support the taxes required for upkeep of the jurisdiction, then the jurisdiction could dissolve. Which is what happens to a ghost town I would imagine. That is not likely to happen to New York City.

Well, your address is printed right on the front too. I thought eye color was printed on the front, but I guess not. So perhaps there are a few fields like that.

I wouldn't think printing out your own 2d barcode with some fields masked would be strictly illegal, as long as you weren't committing fraud by putting fake info.

Practically though, even just covering mine up with tape I've run into a few people who call it a "tampered" ID. IIRC this has only happened for situations where I accept they're going to require the identification number, so I've removed the tape from the printed number on the front but not the barcode on the back (because it's harder to nicely put the bigger piece of tape back). When I hand over my ID I ask them to key in the number instead of scanning, and most people will happily do so. But the occasional person will get tense and say it's a "tampered" ID and refuse to accept it. I've always quieted them right down by removing the back tape and handing it back to them. But I can imagine if you have a different barcode and someone notices it might set off similar "serious business" flags that you won't be able to assuage so easily.

But if you've got the bandwidth to try it, go ahead. Human rights aren't going to defend themselves! Just remember to be pleasant in your interactions, and it helps to have examples ready of why you want to keep your information out of databases.

This. I'm keenly aware of how time-consuming self-hosting is.

- A FreeBSD firewall (requires continuous patching)

- 6 DNS/NTP servers (don't ask!), most of which are in the cloud

- 2 VMware ESXi hosts

- 3 ethernet switches (an 8-port 10Gbe, 24-port 1GBe, 8-port 1GBe)

- 2 WiFi Access Points

- 12TB TrueNAS server

- 2 laptops, 1 desktop

- countless VLANs, countless VMs.

Effectively I run my own AWS. But it comes at a cost: countless evenings & weekends. Endless updates (OS, BIOS, firmware), periodic hardware failures.

Also, as pointed out, security. My unpatched DNS server was compromised, and the intruder managed to get root on my server (this was back in '99, before BIND was heavily re-vamped for security).

Self-hosting is a labor of love, but I'd be hard-pressed to recommend it to anyone who didn't enjoy it.
And on the context of Windows IoT, UWP is all about .NET and C++, with the Rust bindings pretty much still doing baby steps.

Maybe Starship has matured enough by then to launch Europa Clipper on it? It might be able to put the probe on a much faster trajectory than Falcon Heavy could. Does anyone know of (informal?) plans regarding that?

Keep in mind that Artemis 3 [0] is scheduled to launch in september 2024 and the mission includes a moon landing with the planned Starship human landing system (HLS) [1]. Mr Maezawa's flight around Moon is also scheduled for the early 2020ies (no earlier than ("NET") 2023), so Starship is meant to be reliable enough for crewed missions then.

The purpose is you want to use code in other modules.

If you keep doing that for a while, a circular dependency will happen.

This is the dumbest thing thing in Python. All other languages I know have solved it.
AFAIK Jovian radiation is very strong and our current machines have hard time surviving in proximity of the planet for any significant time. Even Clipper will stay a healthy distance away most of the time and only visit the inner Jovian system shortly.
