> To actually enforce copyright in the 21st century, there must be no software freedom.

It's also trivial to stab someone. Not all crimes can or should be prevented by technical means.

In fact most cannot even in principle be prevented. Most of law depends on detection, not prevention.
> It's joining Amazon and then becoming a heavy lobbyist for whatever Amazon wants to do with the language.

To clarify, is that happening, or is that a warning that vigilance is needed to ensure it doesn't happen?
I had the same thought. I don't think it's exactly the same story, but I think that it has the potential in the future. Even assuming the current parties are all operating with good intentions, if Postgres (proper) doesn't defend their trademarks, there is potential for risk in the future.

What happens if Fundación goes bankrupt and the assets (trademarks) get bought? What if they are bought by a non-benevolent company? Then we have the potential for Freenode all over again.
> The correct way to go about that is not to make the holding entity and then try to surreptitiously acquire the trademark, but to have approached the community first. Did you approach the community prior to attempting to take over an aspect of their management and holdings, or not? If you did, what was the response?

Yes, this is the case. Indeed, many times. I have personally voiced many concerns about different aspects of the governance and workings of the Community. And in 2019 a very clear and significant case was raised when some dispute over IP (a domain name) surfaced. In this case, we declined used of the domain name following Core's request, but raised --again-- concerns over the governance of Postgres.

The answer to all of these requests? Outright denial. Silence. Nada. There is no willing to change anything. Also one year later I voiced some of these concerns publicly (https://postgresql.fund/blog/is-it-time-to-modernize-postgre...). Same outcome.

So yes, I have at a personal level and we have at the Foundation level tried everything we believed could be done. And we perceived trademarks are more at risk with PAC and PEU than us, and we saw that some were not registered, so we proceeded to protect them and offer them openly to the Postgres Community (https://postgresql.fund/trademarks).

And as stated publicly, we're ready to transfer them to a single entity. It just can't be the current ones.
Younger people along with Hispanics and blacks are more likely members of the Democratic Party than other parties. I haven't seen the vaccine rate and party breakdown though.
The Japanese managed to grow their economy quickly because they did window guidance. People will complain about central planning yet there are countless of examples of governments that "macromanaged" their economy into success.
The first and only time I used such a place, the Jiffy Lube in Pacifica off Skyline, the smell of burning oil graced my driving experience for the better part of a week afterwards.

You see, I had brought quality Mobil 1 full synthetic oil in quart bottles, which the career oil changers didn't seem to understand how to pour without spilling everywhere. Pro-tip: the offset spout is supposed to be at the top, not the bottom orientation.

Oil changes are inherently a probable interaction with either children or clowns. And I'm saying this as someone who did oil changes as a summer job, back before I had a driver's license. The things I've seen... I pity the fool who relies on random third parties for maintenance. EVs are a potentially huge improvement in this department.
This is a fantastic reframing, even from someone that already generally felt in line with this view. If you consider the citizenship test in the US, which is already far easier than in much of Europe (and certainly the places with more assimilationist tendencies), it's fairly clear that a decent number of native-born citizens wouldn't pass in the US, and people in the country in which I live would probably do even worse on the test here.

A question once asked here was which two species of animals are kept together in the local zoo. Another person was denied by their town (until appealing to a higher court) because they were involved in some animal rights activism, which the people in her town/community disagreed with.
Also animals go through a lot of traumatic episodes as they are being raised. If like 90% of human males where castrated by other males with a power drill without anesthesia in a stage in life where they are obviously able to learn things and interact with other humans I think in general social intelligence would be lower among humans.
My fault: alphanumeric mode is not suitable for a GPG key, because it is:

> 0–9, A–Z (upper-case only), space, $, %, *, +, -, ., /, :

and so we miss the lowercase [a-z].
Therefore we need to use the 2953 bytes binary option.
YouTube isn't a scrappy little startup with no resources left over after keeping the servers up and running 24-7. They absolutely have the talent, capital, and legal resources to innovate in this area and to assess things like public domain claims.

The concept of public domain resources is not a difficult one, you don't need special legal training or advanced math to understand the idea that copyright expires and that works whose copyright has expired are free to all. There is no mechanism to even assert public domain status on Youtube.

You have to wait and offer it as a defense if subjected to a copyright infringement claim, and the copyright infringement claim is presumed to be valid and the claimant is the first judge of the public domain assertion.

Youtube didn't invent the system, but they are far from being helpless victims as you imply.
Something like Braze (or many competitors) will do all sorts of messaging.

Thanks to inflation I'm already cutting my meat eating way down. Ground beef prices are nuts, steaks? Forget it. Chicken hasn't gone up as much but it still hurts. I wish I could cut it down more but I'm a picky eater. And the other thing that just kills me is how much plastic there is every trip to the grocery store.

In other words, a feature that makes sure posts from useful idiots with lots of followers on the left are never accidentally censored.

I'm sure they also have the opposite version of this tool built to more quickly censor posts from high-profile users on the right.
I realize this advice may be appropriate for some people, but speaking personally as a parent who is both lucky enough and financially fortunate enough to send both of my girls to a private school, I think it's misguided for them. The school they go through is K-12, diverse, and the high school portion of it is pretty amazing. I'm personal friends with several of the teachers and I can say with all honesty that the classes they teach are easily the equal of the most interesting college courses I took at a very well regarded university. Obviously I haven't sampled every single class, and I'm sure there are some duds, but I've sampled enough to feel like I have a pretty good feel for it. It would be a huge mistake for my kids to forego the opportunity to learn more about the world with those teachers.
I do definitely like the idea of BLE...all with my own code.

> The nearest thing to a standard solution may be autoconf

I believe that is changing. A quite large number of influential projects have standardized on Meson. That includes systemd, Xorg, PipeWire, GLib, libui, hexchat, pacman, and (almost) all Gnome projects. It seems fair to say that most people (a) like it, and (b) see it as the most likely path forward for build systems.
> Apple should know who works for NSO Group. It should block every single account of every single person working for that org. Same goes for their families.

NSO are suing Facebook - successfully so far - to force them to allow NSO staff access to Facebook when FB responded to NSO attacks by doing just that.
That still contraticts the sentence he quoted.
You are ok with losing $100k of collateral? I just don't have the fortitude to put that much on the line. I could... but I don't think it is wise.

I still don't believe this migration is going to happen at all. If you look at the PoS blocks from other EVM chains, you see that reorgs happen way too often to be comfortable with $100B of assets.
That reasoning doesn't make sense to me. Am I missing something?

Let's say non-manufacturer revenue over a car's TCO is X. The largest portion of X will be spent on non-local goods and local labor regardless of who takes the profit, which has to be low enough to prevent stronger 3rd party service. It isn't like all cars would be shipped back to the factory for service.
The world is aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050
I must be misunderstanding you, because your claim sounds absurd to me.

You seem to be claiming that making a prediction about the future is inappropriate. I don't understand what "zero historical basis" even means.

A prediction is just that -- a claim of what the person uttering it expects will happen in the future. The prediction is falsifiable (could turn out to be false). So what's the problem with making a claim about how you think the future will be?
Throw buzzwords! See if they stick!
Coincidentally, I also, also, started a project to do soil analysis remotely! :D Tho mine is just a few crude proofs of concept and a lot of dreaming. The eventual goal is an inexpensive automated black box box that provides me with fresh lettuce daily, with no human intervention.

> But is that a reason to ignore the things mentioned immediately prior

Its not ignoring! Its asking people to say what the actual problem is, beyond just that Amazon has people on a couple committees.

Have these committees done anything bad? Is amazon pushing for features that people don't like? Will some future bad thing happen because of this? What is the value statement here!

> Those are specific claims that can be assessed individually.

Ok, and the problem is that nobody is actually saying why some things are bad or not.

> that might get some attention.

I still don't know why it should get attention though. So they don't have an executive director? Why should anyone care?

You keep trying to say things, without saying why anyone should care about this stuff, or why it is bad.

I could make a dozen different guesses as to why you, or others, think there is a problem. But I shouldn't have to do that.

It is on you, to both say what is happening, as well as for you to say why it is bad, and what the concern is.
Amen. As another non US developer, there's nothing worse than seeing the pure outrage of some of the most highly paid and privileged workers on the planet.

A huge tax bill is a dream cause it means your take home pay is likely several multiples of that number. I wish I paid a million a year in tax personally.

That's not really a surprising statistic given the "from food production" qualifier. That said, there is proven technology (feeding cows seaweed) that dramatically cuts this back, and we frankly should be mandating its use at this point. Would create jobs too.
Pigs are smart but they have extreme "I'm prey" personalities. They will usually only be social around few people or in few circumstances. I think cows are just less shy, maybe because of their size, and they will definitely intimidate animals they don't like.
Fun way to make this argument is to use College/University instead of highschool and then, if people more or less agree on that, also suggest Highschool. You can keep moving down the stack. At some point, people start to be concerned about socialization, which is a very fair concern. I did not learn anything in highschool (or college) but I made friends that I have to this day and learned how to be a human in a world of other humans. Hard to untangle things after the fact but I went straight into the working world after highschool and I am really, really glad that I ended up eventually going to college solely because of the people I met there and the ways they challenged me to grow and become a better person.

edit: there are obviously ways to get this socialization without being in a traditional, horrible, highschool environment. I do not know if I would homeschool my kids or not!
Its like back when XML was a thing, and people were freaked out about Microsoft's outsize influence on the XML standards committee. MS tried very hard to put in features into XML that would align nicely with their proprietary tools. IBM and others fought to keep XML agnostic. Satisfying that XML doesn't occupy an important place... given how Microsoft tried to take advantage.

Sometimes vendors will influence, if not in intent, in 'naturally' justifying 'intuitive' features - intuitive in the sense it might line up nicely with their future roadmaps?

Amazon has got some negative publicity with exploiting Open Source projects and using it in AWS. Recall how Oracle has 'guided' Java. Not saying that Amazon will come with its own agenda. In general Amazon has played nice with OSS.
>> enduring the sociocultural hell of high school

It's an important part of life and becoming an adult in so many ways and skipping it deprives the child of the opportunity for the good and bad experiences that humans need to experience to become balanced adults.

Life has bad bits for everyone. Chopping out high school preemptively is not only not a solution but is actively detrimental.
> Are the programmers at NSO group just the best in the world?

Most people who are good at this are working for national security orgs, blue team in the private sector, or cash focused criminals. This is the relatively small group of people who are comfortable selling tools to help dictators hack journalists up with saws.

I'm not familiar with what mailchimp is actually doing with their marketing automation / analytics stuff but you could use "AI" ( or basically statistics in this case ) to analyze the resultant data.
You're just talking nonsense. I don't think you thought this through at all.

I own a house. In what way? The land registry says that I do. If it starts saying something else, then I don't. The police and courts will make it real.

My wallet is only mine because that's what we agree.

The brand Coca Cola is just information. But if you start selling your own under their brand you'll find out just how real intellectual property is.

Everything is society is only real because we make it real. "Ownership" isn't any more or less real of tangible or intangible things.
Do you believe we should still have attendants everywhere to pump gas? That Netflix should still be distributing DVD's? That elevators should still be hand-operated?

It doesn't seem right to force an inefficient, outdated situation to continue to exist purely because it benefits a group that would otherwise be outcompeted.

Facebook was suing NSO about the hacks that NSO carried out.

In this case Facebook, Apple, Google, etc should simply terminate the accounts exercising "we are deplatforming you. No explanation" option they all have.
I found school academically useful for two reasons. First, I am very lazy, but I also don’t want to look it, so I actually took notes, did problem sheets, &c.—and in lessons, since I had nothing better to do, I paid attention and talked about the material. This assumes of course that the school is able to impart something useful, which may not be the case.
There is no lock associated with the cache line.

The coherency protocol guarantees that a core can own in exclusive mode a cache line for a bounded number of cycles, this guarantees forward progress and it is different from an unbounded critical section. It has also nothing to do with the lock prefix and also applies to normal non atomic writes.

What the lock prefix does is delay the load associated with the RMW so that it is executed together with the store before the core has a chance to lose the ownership of the line (technically this can also be implemented optimistically with speculation and replays, but you still need a pessimistic fallback to maintain forward progress).

A message passing feature would be nice, but it would be necessarily non coherent which means you can only use it to pass serialised values, not pointers to other threads.

An alternative more usable solution would be to aggressively speculate around memory barriers as the memory subsystem is already highly asynchronous.
Without technology, copyright is unenforceable. It might as well not even exist. Piracy has proven that.

> Perl is still heavily used. I wrote more than 2K lines just last week, lots of it is throwaway.

Agreed. For any one-off (or occasional) task that in any way involves juggling text (which in Unix CLI world is nearly all of it), perl is still the fastest way to get done.

Back in '92 (roughly when I started using perl), its regex support was revolutionary. Today, all languages have decent string handling and regex support. And yet, none is quite so naturally well integrated as in perl. So here 30 years later, if I need to pick apart and recombine text, give me perl.
I tried them a few years ago, everything was great except the email servers in the free tier had terrible reputation and most of what I sent was rejected by the receiving side.

I guess that's to be expected, free tiers of any email services are going to be horribly abused. Hopefully the paid service is better.

With animals there's a clear connection: they have brains and brains is clearly the part that enables us humans to have conscious experiences.

If you have an organization that can legally hire people, pay them a stable salary and legally sell exploits to all sorts of people around the world you end up with NSO.

NSA finds exploits for their own mission and Google Project Zero researches vulnerabilities to [per their claim] ensure internet stays a secure platform but neither of them sell exploits for profit like NSO.

So, no, they're not the only "genius"es out there. They just are less ethical about it.

Actually the galling part to me is the people who consider "Tribal Sovereignty" a clever loophole.

Kachelmann seems to be more media oriented. I am not aware that there is a free API offer.

It looks like Kachelmann is also integrating weather forecasts from different national weather services and the paid version from ECMWF. I am sure the "HD" forecasts mainly use DWD ICON models as well. In this case, data quality would be the same.

I also spend some time to carefully integrate local and global weather models. For solar radiation forecasts, a clear sky radiation model is used to correctly interpolate data to 1h resolution. In the end it is a tradeoff between simple API with low operation cost and data quality/amount.
