> The way this works is all contributors are required to sign a CLA -> the corporate developer can then use their code under ANY license, and most importantly can integrate into propriatery products or sell to others.

If a third party is contributing a lot of code that is highly relevant, the third party is under no obligation to sign the CLA. The third party is entirely within her rights to refuse to sign the CLA and distribute an AGPLv3-only fork of the software.

If this fork is significantly better than the original, the original authors are out of luck when it comes to proprieatary relicensing.

This is what happened with OwnCloud/Nextcloud. OwnCloud was AGPLv3 but required a CLA. OwnCloud became OpenCore and started distributing "enterprise" features as proprietary upgrades. Some developers were unhappy with this and forked OwnCloud and started developing Nextcloud. All contributions to Nextcloud are AGPLv3 only and cannot be re-licensed by Owncloud. Interestingly enough, any new code released under AGPLv3 by Owncloud can still be used by Nextcloud.
> Open-source does not have to mean free of charge. I'm one that encourages paid courses if you can make them better than everything else available.

Not the OP, but I suspect that the question wasn't really about paid courses per-se, but instead about proprietary courses (in practice the two do overlap quite a bit, which helps confuse the discussion).

Pollan is the naive one. The legalization message is a great one, and IMO pretty reasonable for almost every drug... except modern pharmaceutical opioids.

A journalist relaxing with poppy tea and writing about the experience is nice and cute, but when it comes to destroying lives, oxycodone and fentanyl are in a class of their own.

The legalization issue cannot be disentangled from the problem of big pharma and powerful opioids. Every year they manufacture and market billions of dollars worth of the most addictive drugs that humanity has ever known. These drugs are already effectively legal in the US.
I think going mostly soapless should work for everyone though. At least anecdotally from my experience, because it makes no difference. I'm like you, genetically predisposed to get smelly.

I use shampoo on the hair (every few days only since covid, pre covid every day though) and under the arms. I definitely have and never will use soap on my face for example or arms (unless I've been up to my elbows (literally) in the garden or something and I actually have to get something off.

Since covid I've noticed what was already happening before. When I go to the office I smell more, even with deodorant. It basically fails after lunch and I need to wash and reapply. Having more coffee makes it worse but going coffee less doesn't make it not happen. WFH causes way less stink even without deodorant. Though work days are definitely still worse than weekends or vacations.

I've been through all the different types of commercial deodorants. They usually work very well almost miraculously for a few weeks after which they make me stink even worse than before starting them. I've switched to home made deodorant now and apply it only when I go somewhere it matters.
-An 1883 study of military recruits found myopia was much higher in students and merchants than farmers

-A 1969 study of Eskimos found that myopia had increased dramatically since Western schooling was introduced

-A 2012 study of German students found more than 50% of university graduates had myopia vs. 25% for dropouts

-In countries like Singapore and Taiwan, myopia is common among even young school children

They all fit in the "correlation does not imply causation".

Institutions of ordered information (papers, publishers, tv) have been disrupted by a New tech - the internet

What we see now is a knee-jerk reaction to reestablish order by the establishment.

This happened too with the creation of the gutenberg printing press. New tech disrupted established information sources.

Approx 60 years after the printing press creation, a relatively minor religious squabble ended up in a huge conflict that engulfed most major powers in europe.

Truth is power. The institutions that that control the truth will fight to maintain their power.

Nobody lives in a "truly free society". This is one of these stupid American inventions that I wish would die because it's so obviously wrong—and so obviously incomplete as an intellectual concept. Everyone's fate is ultimately and inextricably intertwined with the actions of their neighbours. You can either be "truly free," or you can be a member of society. You can't be both.

Here in my home country of Australia, a society which arguably has more freedom than in America[0][1][2][3] we require children to be vaccinated in order for them to attend childcare and primary education. This is because most of us recognise that sending our children into an environment which has strong herd immunity to serious disease like measles is itself a form of freedom. We've traded one freedom (which we didn't want anyway) for a much better freedom.

In America, you have the freedom to have your access to quality healthcare determined by your bank balance. And you have the freedom to live in a community where everyone around you has their access to healthcare determined by their bank balance. If that's freedom, I don't want it.

I completely agree.

As a mechanical engineer it makes my blood boil when I cannot access a standard. It's rent seeking at best.

Sure my organisation pays for many of the subscriptions, but not infrequently I come across one that isn't and it immediately stymies my work. I have to contact the bureaucracy and convince them to spend $500+ on something that may be completely useless. (it's sometimes unclear how useful or strict a referenced standard is)

I can only imagine how hard it would be for the general public to navigate.

The European Union has publicly available engineering standards. That is a step in the right direction and every country(or federation) should follow suit.
Facebook is removing content because they wanted to make money with a website, and the job of statecraft fell in their laps in the process. They didn't volunteer, they aren't qualified, nobody told them they were signing up to run a kingdom, let alone the world. So they don't produce lofty, philosophical, well-thought-out positions on free speech and human rights. They don't carefully manage the public square with the long term good of humanity in mind. They make the same expedient, best-effort, unenlightened, sounds-good-to-me decisions that literally every poorly qualified there-for-the-wrong-reasons ruler in all of history has made. Your majesty, people are dying because cats are vessels of Satan! By royal decree, kill the cats. That's all this is.

I think they are trying, and I wish they had a Thomas Jefferson on staff and saw themselves as needing one. But they don't.

The difference is that Stack Overflow has taken the legal responsibility of making sure any contributions to the site are licensed in a way that allows users to copy-paste them into their own works, and has the authority to do as much. GH does not have the authority to, without authors' permission, launder their code through an AI "tumbler" and spit out shiny suggestions stripped of all license concerns.
I think our fundamental disconnect is that you see a world in which all software is unique, special, and does completely different things. I see a world where every website I use has the same stupid follow button that does the same stupid thing, where every navbar comes with a logout button, where every social media app is trying to look like the demon spawn of Clubhouse and Snapchat.

I see a world where every single mobile app wraps a UITableView with a few changed properties.

You're trying to tell me that there are thousands of engineers out there designing cars with alternatives to gas pedals and steering wheels, and yet every car off the line still has the same gas pedal and the same steering wheel from 20 years ago. It just isn't reality. Almost all of this stuff is cloning existing stuff and tacking on some new feature. "But steering wheels today have so many more buttons!" Okay. Take a steering wheel, add some buttons to it. Is it really that alien from a steering wheel without buttons?

And yeah! That new feature, that nobody has ever done before? You'll need to describe it to hell and back. Because of course the computer won't know what you're talking about. But the point is to get you 80% or 90% of the way there using common language, from there you can hire developers to finish the feature themselves or you can write a design spec for the computer to build. And now that the computer knows the feature? Well, you can create derivative works off that stored knowledge, and you won't have to spend your time writing the boilerplate and scaffolding needed to support that feature.

I don't think I'm disregarding how complex the world is, I think you're disregarding how utterly predictable software is.
There are crazy things that people believe (not necessarily vaccines turning people into the Hulk, but still) that, in the past, I would have assumed were mental health issues.

But when massive numbers of people believe these things, blaming it on individual problems is not so productive. About 300 people a day are dying because intense political polarization has caused people to believe whatever best feeds their tribal urges. The same thing caused an attack on the US seat of government, and a very large percentage of the population thinks that's ok.

I don't know the solution, short of us declaring that the internet and cable tv was a bad idea and we need to go back to simpler times of unconnected computers and 3 TV networks. But I'd agree that facebook, Twitter, etc has to do something.

Usually when you want to change the landscaping you bring out the big knife and cut away. Model railroaders (as the community is called) use pink insulation foam so it's easier to clean up, cut up, carve out. A hot wire foam cutter is then used to shape the new foam blocks to the existing landscaping, paint, and repeat the coverage of false foliage and greenery. The old landscaping at that point goes into the garbage and into landfill after scraping off what foliage you can to save (in little jars) for the next landscape project. Pink insulation foam doesn't have beads like polystyrene Styrofoam does so it's not so much of a mess. Similar to memory foam but harder. I guess theoretically you could shred the pink foam and use it in foam spray to insulate the attic...

In the end, railroaders like XPS foam as opposed to EPS foam due to lack of "beads" and mess.

If you're considering buying one, make sure you're also able to return it in case the lens-quality of the batch is sub-par.

FYI, If you had a 3g kindle registered and all the Amazon stuff worked to get you an email with a coupon code, those work on the used kindles too (at least the targetted models). If you got a $70 code, that totally covers a used current gen paperwhite (with ads). For me, I bought a (used) Kindle Keyboard with 3g after I broke a newer one and it was the same price as one without 3g, so why not... and now a bonus.

How do you know “your side” is right?

Read your comment again, but consider a hypothesis that you are entirely wrong about most things - how would you know? Everyone seems to lack a consideration that there is even a possibility they could be wrong.

If they are exposed two sides, and you one, how do you know you are right? You probably are. But… it’s the absolutism that is starting to become obvious to me.
The Quest and a few games are cheap enough that if the service were cut off, it wouldn’t be too big of a deal. It is OK to enjoy things, with a little detachment when it comes to not worrying about losing them.

Every programming job is hard enough that the average programmer doing it will struggle, since it is those you will be compared against. So there is no hard or easy, you just struggle with different things. If you have a comparative advantage doing low level tasks then that will be easier for you, if you have a comparative advantage doing high level tasks then those will be easier.

Of course if a field is very popular compared to demand that they can be more selective then those jobs will be harder, since you are compared against better people. Game development is one such area.

I always say that important scientific discoveries arise from better tools. Once technology can make the tool, it doesn't take long for the discovery to be made. It may take a genius, but there are a lot of geniuses on Earth.

Without precision instruments, how can we know that light has a speed, that stars are not points of light on a crystal sphere surrounding the earth, that diseases are carried by microbes... General relativity was a way to solve anomalies in the orbit of Mercury, something only detectable with precise measurement. Without it, general relativity would make no sense: why use all these complex formulas when Newton gravity works just as well? Send Einstein's work to the 16th century and it will be slashed by Occam's razor.

The "tenth of a second" problem is just that, technology able to measure tenth of seconds opened new fields.

I don't mean that technology is more important than scientific research, but they go hand in hand, no good science without good observation, no good observation without good tech, and no good tech without good science.
I still don't agree with your premise, people can be used as tools even when I can distinguish it from a person given other aspects (for example I may recognize that people can act autonomously and tools not). My initial question was precisely about semantics though and I think there's the possibility that my initial reasoning may not hold for some, more specific definition of tool.
It’s not that deep.

The basic premise I’m putting forward, which is that in general investing in an company might have the potential to help that company succeed, is utterly trivial and obvious.

Also trivial and obvious is that fact that an excessive debt burden can cripple and kill a company that might have otherwise succeeded.

There is indeed subtlety to this, needless to say. But basic observation is essentially unarguable: when a whole ton of people decide to buy stock in a company it affects that company’s prospects.

Obviously there aren't many titles, but I imagine most independent book sellers have at least some antique books, and you can always apply for a reader's pass to the local public museum or university library, which will be sure to have some.

> For example, senior government leadership was advising the consumption of bleach as a COVID-19 cure.

Right!

Except that never happened at all and you are spreading BS / fakenews / “misinformation”.

At no point did anyone suggest drinking bleach. During a press conference of possible treatments he asked about developing an ingestible solution along with experimental internal UV lung treatments. The media quickly turned that “OMG Trump said drink bleach!”, the nonsense you are happy to repeat.
