The issue with a "weird" license like this is that anyone other than individuals will be afraid to touch it. This includes corporations, universities and governments. Existing licenses like MIT or BSD are well-understood and don't need to go through legal. Strange clauses turn into lots of hours and lead time with legal making sure they won't be an issue.

What about a bakery forbidding sale of cakes to people whose marriage violates their "code of conduct"?
hardly any worse than pure vileness of twitter.
I haven’t had too many issues with Google Meet, for example.
> But he did violate their terms of service over and over while in office.

One of the primary issues is that Twitter has routinely granted privileged protected status to their favored political side, and refused to ban prominent people on the left that have behaved dramatically in violation of their policies [1][2]. There were a huge number of examples of it from the left during the unhinged Nick Sandermann cultural conflict for example (a wave of direct calls for violence by blue checkmarks against underage children).

Twitter has no qualms with unevenly applying their policies, so long as they're helping their political side. That has particularly been going on for four or five years non-stop at this point.

I think you are looking at it from the wrong point of view.

Playing baseball starts at a very young age - 4,5,6 years old. At that point the game is, more or less, a subset of the baseball rules. As a player gets older, they add more rules but aren't really modifying the existing ones that you've already learned. It's a really nice system.

At some point, softball branches off. The rules are generally parallel to each other so switching between the two is just a matter of calibrating your mindset and equipment.

You can say that there is a vast difference between them and be right. But you can also say that they are nearly the same and be right.
I've been trying to figure out what the exchange rate is, and TFA only says "the market". As far as I can make out, the dollar is still the real legal tender of El Salvador, but that vendors must take Bitcoin at "the market" rate instead.

I assume that there's some specific "market" that's the official exchange rate, though TFA doesn't say which.

It doesn't mention Lightning or who will pay transaction costs.
This feels like the

“Documentation just goes out of date so don’t bother argument”

Documentation (which is what a playbook is) isn’t milk, it doesn’t just “go out of date”.

People let it go out of date by not keeping it up to date. Docs going out of date isn’t the problem, the problem lies in the system that causes it to go out of date.

The only reason automation doesn’t go out of date is because it breaks and so you have to fix it, the problem is that each of those little fixes takes time, probably more time that updating the docs.

Automation is great but to approach it as a binary choice is wrong.
At surface level, a violated license becomes a standard copyright issue, same as you might expect if you acquired AWS source code and tried to sell your own Copyzon Web Services using their code.

Yeah I was trying to refer to outside work as long as it doesn't feel overwhelming. Thanks for the advice!
That is a terrific link, thank you!

Is there any way to "narrow" the Elements tab to displaying only a portion of the HTML? For instance to narrow to the "div#content" element such that said element appears as the root of the Elements tab, decluttering the view from the parts of the page irrelevant to what one is working on.
I switched to MacPorts and never looked back, about two years ago. So far a much better experience than Homebrew.
Custom domains are coming up real soon!
edit: I'd never spent much time looking at shadow dom, but it does appear that you can encapsulate styles with a shadow root. Had no idea - that's really interesting, thanks!
This persons point is being proved by the downvotes. Get a grip HN.
Not agreeing to it, but that's what media and politicians mean when they talk about "the economy".
Expecting Donald Trump to observe the rules and norms that are not strictly enforced is extremely naive. He thinks only suckers do that. What does he do? He ignores all of that and gets ahead.

That's why I call people like him "termites of civilization". They slowly eat at the foundation, until the society itself collapses. We are already seeing it. The pandemic of selfishness and shamelessness, and overwhelming rudeness toward each other. Just look at what the service industry has to put up with - and it all came directly from the top. Donald Trump let everyone know that the rules are NOT for them, that it is totally OK to be a shit-tier human.
No, he is implying they "Star Wars"-ified it; that they made it a show that is 'good vs evil' and all problems are solved by laser guns.

Charcoal may not be fossil, but it still releases CO2 into the atmosphere, right?
> He salted the Supreme Court.

That's what his supporters thought/hoped but I'd say that didn't really pan out the way they thought, either.
You’re being sarcastic, right? You’re aware of which country started the last two WORLD WARS, right????!??!
Define: weaponry.

I imagine an autonomous sentry-turret (Half-Life, Portal, etc) comes to mind. Obviously that’s right-out.

But what about airsoft or paintball? Those are recreational activities, but in some jurisdictions their respective “guns” can be legally considered weapons because they can still do serious bodily harm - as well as intimidate.

———

Another example is “Windows for Warships”: you could build this software for that, no? So, is a warship a weapon? Naval frigate? Merchant marine vessel that carries small-arms for self-defense? At what point does arbitrary hardware attached to the computer running this software become a “weapon” or not?

I’m not a rights-absolutist - I just think when writing a license with restrictions that are going to be open to interpretation get a gosh-darned lawyer involved and be as specific as possible, and then some. You don’t want a project getting bogged-down by internet nerds complaining about stuff like this. Not least an army of trolls who will spam your inbox with hair-splitting questions about the classification of firearms technology to gleefully waste your time. (“it’s not an ‘assault rifle’, it’s a ‘scary looking semi-automatic AR-15’”, “bump-stocks aren’t automatics lololol”, etc)

"On the other hand, the number of 1,211 chargers"

ionity has 4 stalls per station on average

https://insideevs.com/news/496754/europe-600-tesla-superchar...

"The number of Tesla Supercharging stations in Europe has recently exceeded 600 in 27 countries (with more than 6,000 individual charging stalls). On average, that's 10 stalls per station."

The other thing in practical experience is that tesla superchargers are super reliable and ionity not so much.
For an apples-to-apples comparison, one must look at the corresponding distributions in other developed countries. It could be that the poorest people live significantly shorter lives in other countries but that the middle do better than in the states.
I was semi-retired after successful crypto speculation - but I am working on a Lego blocks detection app (inspired by https://twitter.com/LEGO_Group/status/1112625676836880384). brickit has beaten me at being the first app doing block recognition but I am not giving up, they also don't yet do something like the original vision. A friend has joined me - so now we are two old-boy programmers learning all this ML stuff: https://zby.github.io/
Uh, no. Feel free to read the actual referenced judicial opinion rather than cherry-picking to suit your conclusion. That was the word used in the charge. Here's more of it:

>"entered into agreements with, various persons, firms, corporations, and limited partnerships engaged in purchasing, shipping, refining, and selling petroleum and its products among the various states, for the purpose of fixing the price of crude and refined oil and the products thereof, limiting the production thereof, and controlling the transportation therein, and thereby restraining trade and commerce among the several states, and monopolizing the said commerce"

If actual price-fixing to monopolize commerce isn't part of your unique definition of a monopoly, I don't know what else to tell you. It's pretty hard to price fix without a monopoly, but as we already discussed they were able to do so because they controlled over 90% of refineries at the time. (And before you jump in again - erroneously - about their price during the trial, this monopoly charge was related to actions decades earlier). But it's pretty obvious from your relentless rules-lawyering/wordsmithing that either you aren't responding in good faith or don't actually have the ability/willingness to read evidence objectively.

Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug.
Yeah I don't get why people don't understand the sentence or the point of it. "[...] people so antithetical to our values" implies that the values of Mastodon are the opposite of the people using the code. I.E. since everyone knows the Trump people are racist, homophobic, and misogynist pieces of shit, the Mastodon company values are to be the opposite of that.
Krugman is just too emotionally invested in the book, so nothing comparable to the book. If the show is not called foundation, he will probably enjoy it.
> [snark]Almost lost the Republic on Jan 6th to a whole lot of shoving.[/snark]

Snark aside, the danger of Jan 6 was not shoving - It was people deciding to do the wrong thing in the name of gaining power.

The insurrectionists who organized January 6 (yes it was planned) were at the Willard Hotel in a number of suites they called a "War Room" (yes, their words). The entire plan was to delay certification of Joe Biden's victory to give state legislatures time to arrange an alternate slate of electors to be sent to the Capitol. This delay was achieved via a violent mob directed at the Capitol. A delay happened by it wasn't long enough, so the effort failed.

But it almost succeeded. They wanted to push Pence in the direction of refusing to certify Biden's 2020 win, thereby kicking the decision to state delegates, of which Republicans controlled a majority. Obviously they would have voted for Trump over Biden.

This is how autocracy happens in America: a president who loses both the popular vote and electoral college, appointed by a political party on the basis of fraudulent claims of fraud. No elections will be trusted by either side after that happens.
I don't even bother with WSL anymore, most dev packages I use comes as prebuilt Windows binaries bundled as zip-packages that you can unzip anywhere and run. No dependency management, no magic updates, no PPAs, run how many versions of the same software you like, delete folder when don't need it anymore. Super easy.

Granted I don't work much with compiled languages anymore so I don't need to setup some complicated tool chain, but when I need to do that I usually go for MSYS2 or WSL when it has to be Linux.
I think there's two ways people interpret that - when neocons and progressives (or whatever, the slimiest of both parties) end up arm in arm denouncing a guy, you can either say that guy must be really bad, or really good. ;)
Go to YouTube. You will find lots of old BBC stuff; the BBC largely doesn’t bother with active enforcement for anything before 1980 or so.

Now, start a website selling Doctor Who episodes, and see how far your incomplete enforcement argument gets you with the court.
>> Who defines what 'marginalization of people' means

> The software creators

I don't understand how that could work. Would "marginalizing people" have any concrete legal definition at all or would it literally be anything the creator decides now or in the future?

Software creator says I'm marginalizing people, I deny it and refuse to stop using their library. How would a court sort that out?
In between there's a "Second Foundation" which is similar and would make a great TV show, but I think that ship has sailed with this mediocre show.
Welcome to humanity and our inherent tribalism.
> Restricting software use to only people approved by the creators is a terrible idea.

Isn't that the whole point of author's rights/intellectual property in general and software licenses in particular?
> The rest of your reply disagrees with your first sentence. It seems that only the people who share ml5.js values are allowed to use the software.

Any can use the software only for purposes in line with ml5.js values.

So everyone is free to use the software, just not for all the purposes that any particular person might choose. It's something like a bar with a "no racist language" sign: anyone can use the bar, they just have to abide by the rules, and if they chose not to, they can find another bar.
I could understand that interpretation. I just don't believe it's true. I think the best thing to say, if anything was necessary to say, would have been "This action is meant to defend the license, and does not constitute a judgment of the user that is violating the license."
> Wouldn't there be resentment from the team because they work harder than you or just generally putting in more effort?

not in my experience. there are often people around that only do 25-35hours per week... at least in the places I've worked at 'till now.

> Open source might be the right avenue for this type of freedom

with open source, you're always an outside contributor. That might be enough for some - but I doubt that my motivation could keep up long term in that setting.
It's mostly curiosity. White people are perceived as exotic by most Indians.

And if three guys approached you to object your talking to one passerby, they were most likely just roadside trolls looking for someone to bully. I've heard Delhi has a lot of those.

I assume there's only one implementation because for decades people have been saying that X is an antiquated design, and they want a different way. Thus we got Wayland.
Exactly. Once they get that first hit of sweet, sweet ad revenue, there will inevitably be pressure to grow it, and then grow it faster. Zoom does not strike me as the kind of company that will be able to resist the temptation to insert ever more obnoxious ads, as long as it leads to revenue growth. (That said, they don't have to support a free tier at all, and it's not free to run, so I don't completely begrudge them looking for ways to monetize it beyond just Pro upgrades).
Do you really think toys or food or comparable to Facebook? You go into a store, you see the product your child wants, and 99.9% of the time you know exactly what it does. You cannot walk away from a child eating a happy meal for 5 minutes and come back and see them watching a porn video hidden in the hamburger.
It really never ceases to amaze me how few people actually seem to value freedom of speech. Almost everyone claims to until someone says something they disagree with.

I guess I'm not sure the problem is technological any more. If public sentiment towards freedom of speech doesn't change it doesn't really matter if a truly free platform exists or not. If 99% of people don't want freedom of speech then these platforms will inevitably become radicalised cesspools only used by the 1% who have opinions which they can't express elsewhere. Subsequently if these platforms become popular enough they'll inevitably be censored in one way or another by the 99% who disapprove.

I'm with you, I like to know what the radicals are saying. I actually find a lot of the mainstream arguments against radical belief systems to be very poor and this actually re-enforces the beliefs these communities hold. I personally believe if we tried to understand some of the grievances these people have and then tried to actually provide solutions to their problems we wouldn't see half as much radicalisation. Instead we try to silence and shame these individuals then dismiss their grievances with stupid arguments which only demonstrate to them that we have no understanding or interest in their problems. It's really no surprise that radical online communities seem to be growing with censorship. No one changes their beliefs because someone censors and shames them.
Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the advice!
Well done guide! Was visually enjoyable to read/watch as well as being well-written.
Tolerance, right up to the limit where it actually starts hurting, is the best strategy for a peaceful and prosperous society. Trying to carve out little patches for your type of people and excluding that scary, evil other does not work. We're at Enlightenment+200 years here. I suppose shouldn't have to try make a defence of tolerating different opinions. If they want to license their software however then good luck to them, but nonetheless attempting to encode illiberal political beliefs into a software license is the wrong direction. The GPL is exactly the right approach. Freedom consistently outperforms all the ideas people swear are going to work better than freedom.

Marginalised communities are not protected by documents that claim to protect marginalised communities. Fat lot of good documents have ever done. What protects marginalised communities is actual tolerance of differing opinions, and actual freedom. Ditto what protects us from surveillance. Fat lot of good all the paper protections against surveillance have done. Look at what America has built! Let alone China. Once again, the problem is a knee-jerk overreaction and paranoia in the ruling class when the correct answer is tolerance. Ditto weapons. Did Afghanistan benefit from code of conducts? No, what it needed was a bulkwork of people who said "lets really stretch ourselves not to hurt people who dislike us" at a critical moment.

This license won't do what it claims. Best case, it is GPL+Fluff. Worst case, it becomes an exclusionary political tool. Ironically, it is likely that it will be wielded against marginalised communities.
No it won’t. Tofu has existed for centuries and it didn’t, impossible burgers didn’t. It’s hopeful, but in reality it’ll just give industrialized countries with poorer people less access to animal products, while those in 3rd world countries continue to grow chickens.
Is that a quote, or something you came up with?
The author is employed by the Cato institute which has the stated aim of publishing research and policy papers that advocate for the removal of regulations.

While I don’t know that they have a conflict of interest per se, it’s absolutely reasonable to suspect their writing to be mission driven, not pure research.
Thanks. Yes, I wanted the underlying message of the article to be “you’re not stupid for avoiding bitcoin” rather than “yolo into this short with me” :).

Let me flip this around - do you believe that things like licences, copyright, perhaps even legality of material posted shouldn't matter at all on this "permacomputer"? Reading your page it's clear you want to go back to the "good old days" of internet - which is admirable, in a sort of romantic way. It is hacker news after all. But yes, if I made some software, and I found you were using it without a licence, I'd definitely try to sue you for it, permacomputer or not. Just because your network might have the technical resilience against being shut down doesn't mean you get to go back to golden days of the internet where no one really cared about silly things like actually paying for stuff. I see the attempt to dress it as "prevent deplatforming of politicians" just as dishonest as the attempts to shut everything down because "think of the children" - they are two sides of the same extremist(in opinion) coin. You can't have a completely open internet(yes, like we used to have, that's gone), but you shouldn't have a completely closed surveiled internet either.
He was, until he passed away. I don't know if he had any say-so in the Hobbit trilogy, though. I suspect not. He was in his 90s at the time and might not have been actively working. Now that he's gone, all bets appear to be off.
Why do I have to click a link to read the article? I don't understand why it's a thing to add a "fold" to a web article.

More on topic, this does seem like a decent overview.
Okay, fair enough, I expected worse from the title. The "antithetical to our values" thing is silly political posturing, but the case itself seems like a pretty clear cut AGPL violation. Hope it gets worked out alright, and that across the aisle we can all agree to respect free software licenses.
"Processed" actually has a specific meaning, though. It generally refers to the addition of some kind of salt or smoking. So cured meats, sausages, bacon etc. These are processed foods. It doesn't generally mean stuff that isn't "natural". Do you really think meat from factory farms is "natural" anyway?
I've been using MacPorts for over a decade now, and I'm very happy with it. I certainly much prefer its default choice of install prefixes (/usr/local should be reserved for things I install manually; /opt/local doesn't clash with anything else I'm aware of).
I don't know if it's different elsewhere, but for me the "alternative meat" products are competing with premium meat products due to their price - being "better than a cheap hot dog" is appropriate if it costs comparable to a cheap hot dog, however, it costs multiple times more and if it has a price tag comparable to premium cuts of beef, then the bar for taste is much, much higher than that.
If you do go for Bangle.js, ping me if you get to the stage of putting any code up on github - I'd be very interested.
That is extremely hypocritical as the never-Trumpers claimed for 4 years Trump was an illegitimate President and continue to do so even after a multi-year investigation failed to prove any claim to that effect was true.
I spent much of the past two years writing an economic history book that compares the modern United States to Victorian Britain and the Dutch Republic. Of course, Ray Dalio had to write a book on the same topic, in the same year (albeit with differing premises and conclusion). Check my book out if you're interested:
