> If the license doesn't achieve what the creator wanted, then they can just change it.

No, you can't "just change it" if you have external contributors and you allow them to keep ownership of their contributions (the default). Many people object to CLAs on philosophical reasons and will refuse to sign them.

Now your "just change it" is a 6-12 months effort trying to chase down every single contributor and nitpicking your license change until everyone is happy, or rewriting a bunch of code due to licensing issues.

Probably only need 5-10 acres for a decent mix of food and what not. You’ll need to optimize and you won’t be able to grow all your own, etc.

I bought >100 acres, 40 acres of fields for cattle, rest is woods. I have 1 year round creek and two year round springs on opposite sides of the property. It already has an small orchard, 50 ft pecan tree, and some black walnuts.

I plan on having 8-15 or so cattle, chickens and a big vegetable garden.

I’m doing it at a very large scale though.
Thanks for the feedback. Customization is definitely on the roadmap, but nailing the reading/editing experience is higher priority for now.
US border agents engaged in ‘shocking abuses’ against asylum seekers report says
The group of unhealthy processed foods is larger than just the ones with corn syrup or nitrite in it. What most have in common, is that they contain too much added salt, too many 'fast' carbohydrates and too little or no nutritional fibers at all. All these factors are very bad for your health on the long term.

> What you are doing is like saying that natural vitamin C is better than chemically produced vitamin C

Of course the chemical substance is exactly the same, but if it is said that using fruits as a natural source of vitamin C is better than to rely only on supplements, then this is true.
I assume you're referring to the author, not publisher, since the credibility of the publisher of the article is irrelevant to the content of the article. An economist coming to a conclusion that is different from the establishment's, or yours, doesn't make them not neutral. I don't know of any conflicts of interest they have that would make them not neutral.

> I hope you're not taking his 2016 electoral campaign statements regarding what his agenda is at face value...

Is that a joke? What on earth would you judge someone on (with regards to their agenda) other than the commitments they make as a candidate?

I don’t care about whether someone accomplished a “secret unpublished” agenda, if it’s all revealed after the fact.

Obviously, I care about the changes made during the presidential term, but when it comes to “evaluating whether they fulfilled their agenda”, it seems farcical to say “I hope you weren’t actually considering the public commitments they made about their agenda”

> Is it really a terrible idea to restrict your software from being used to control weaponry? To spread lies about science, like climate change denial or vaccine lies?

No, but there's a terrible slippery slope to have the creator able to make value judgments about uses of the software after the software is adopted and exert power over the users this way.

> To host child pornography sharing?

I think it's a bit of hyperbole once we're extending this value judgment to conduct that is already otherwise illegal. Is someone breaking the law to host child pornography and facing criminal charges going to be deterred by the possibility of civil damages from license noncompliance?
Does it? This is the first I've heard of it.

I'm confused, what do GWB or neocons have to do with a willingness to lie about elections? Are you saying those two are bad because they aren't willing to lie about it?
Good for them. It's not open source; it's licensed to their current friends.

Meanwhile, people who aren't lifetime friends of the copyright owners aren't going to use software whose license can be withdrawn at any time based on a dispute. People don't like when Oracle or MS or Intel or any corpo tries that, so they shouldn't accept it from anyone else for anything they care about.

There are many good sci-fi books that transfer into good TV-series. Only reason Foudation was used was because you can use famous name to trick people into watching it. It's a dark patter of entertainment industry.

Another problem is that the ideas in the book are completely opposite to what the mainstream viewers want to see and are used to consume. The writers killed those ideas and tell the more familiar story of a prophet and chosen ones, where individuals are making the difference.
Sure, but we do that all the time don't we? It's called private property.

I agree with your intention, but there's a balance to be struck between individual contributions and those of wider society.
It's been a while, but I remember Asimov leaving a lot out of the books. i.e. Stories would start after the violence or some clever twist would side step it altogether. He left a lot for a visual medium to add-in. The core is there so far: psychohistory, robots, huge Trantor, planning to 'save' a galaxy amount of culture and info for a galactic reboot, etc.

It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's the first live action adaptation beyond the robot movie. Kind of always have to be forgiving with a first attempt. Even Star Trek TNG didn't get into a grove until 2nd or 3rd season.

Really obscure: be more clear.

The creators are not simply the outcome of a populated space but of its navigation, through orientation, implying the sought, the accepted and the refused. Their «fruit» is produced accordingly - and not just "owing to society", but also "in spite of it" - and represents an intention, which is conditional to the product itself.

The commonly accepted standard is incoherent.

Chips are listed. Not "some" as is qualified for frozen dinners, but just chips. Chips are just sliced potatoes cooked in oil and salted. No "artificial colors and flavors and preservatives that promote shelf stability, preserve texture, and increase palatability". If you dust some MSG and onion powder on them I guess that technically fits under artifical flavor. But I can do that at home in a couple seconds. Does dusting the same MSG and onion powder on my roasted asparagus make it ultra-processed?

Insofar as chips are an issue, it's that they contain too much fat, or too much salt or something. Not some magical property attached to them in an industrial factory.

There are similar mismatches for their other examples.

That may be the legal reality we live in - it's true that if a driver in a Toyota rear-ended someone else, there would be (and should be) no NTSB/NHTSA safety investigation. The driver was simply at fault, they should be appropriately penalized and will hopefully not do it again.

The difference is that safety improvements to Autopilot can scale. Patch the software or upgrade the hardware to fix the root cause of this collision and future collisions can be avoided!
Haskell is the only language where you seem to need Nix. That alone make a big difference for people trying to get into Haskell. I'd say it's also the only language where you seem to need dev-infra tooling. I can see how using Nix helps, but saying that "it's already solved on other level of dev-infra tooling" is basically a way to confirm "This language has some of the worst tooling I've ever encountered in my life.", which was the initial assertion.

>in general, payments here seems to be: a) much more cashless, b) much faster, c) much less secure

UPI has changed this difference drastically. India's mobile payments network is probably the largest and most ubiquitous in the whole world. For the past 3-4 years I have never carried cash for payments here, only my phone. And each transaction is secured with biometrics/PIN too!

>Every single lecture is recorded by cameras in the classroom, and available online, in extremely high video and audio quality. That’s just bonkers. The tech inside the classroom is some serious stuff - multiple TV screens (two in front, two in the back), two prominent cameras, collar mics for the professors.

Could be just the COVID effect? My college in India has all of these too, though I admit not many smaller colleges here will be able to procure that much.

I’m much more interested in something already happening, now. Crypto is full of “wait and see, this is the future” but the early internet had immediate utility.

What can I do, today that should make me want to buy the crypto to do a thing with crypto. Rather than buy crypto to hope for an increase in value.

Will the free tier still be limited to 40 minutes with ads?
This definitely happened for cable TV and satellite radio— both started life as a paid, ad-free alternative, but the promise of a premium market that moneyed individuals had paid to escape to was just too enticing.

To a lesser extent you see it with magazines too, especially in the fashion space, where brands don't want to be in a "free" magazine, so the magazine has to charge a cover price, but they practically give away subscriptions since the cover price is not where they're making money.
> Like presenting everything as pseudo magical and religious

I'm not sure they're so wrong with that. In the books, Hari Seldon understands his math and so does Gaal, but nobody else can. Same in the show.

His line in the colony ship in the show, something about "following me on what's little more than a prayer", is spot on. I think the show has done a fairly good job of playing with the discomfort I felt reading Foundation: that so much has to be taken on faith by so many people. It doesn't really matter whether your prophet got his revelation through a dream, pulling some rocks from a bag, or a few nights of multidimensional calculus; it's all opaque to the followers who just have to believe.

The rest of the additions and changes seem to make sense given the medium. Clone emperors: super great, and helped by the best acting in the show. I'd bet Asimov had something similar in mind (he named them "Cleon" in the books too, surely a clue in that anagram.) Even the time-jump with the cryo pod helps to ameliorate one of the issues I had with the books, which was the brief time we got to hang out with some interesting characters before a few centuries passed. The plot with Dornick's boyfriend on the colony ship was a good addition too, albeit quite well telegraphed. Space 9/11 was totally necessary for a TV adaptation, you can't show a couple of potholes in the highway roads and expect anyone to get "society collapses" from it.

I'm with the consensus on Hardin though. Space marine chosen one was not where I thought that character would end up. The actor playing her mom would've been better as Salvor, with her daughter being a destabilizing influence for her to try and keep leashed up (and maybe ultimately use, reluctantly, as her "last resort.")
Watching this rule come into force has been weird and enlightening in many ways. For one, this rule caused a lot of friction as many banks and payment processing systems weren’t ready for it by the time it came into force. This despite it being announced over two years before it came into effect and a 6-month extension on the enforcement date! Also, while I personally like the new rules and support them wholeheartedly, there’s been significant opposition to them because they make it more onerous for businesses to set up subscriptions, an already rare and difficult business model in India. Personally, if your business mode counts on people so passively continuing to subscribe that they can’t re-authenticate every payment cycle (and that too only if it’s a significant amount per month!) I think you you should rethink what you do, but what do I know?
It doesn't. The OSI is basically a fancy landing page that tricks people into thinking open source has a front man. Everything about the OSI comes from a pedestrian perspective. Really nothing more than an informative blog.
To spread lies about science, like climate change denial or vaccine lies?

Of course it’s only a lie when your in-group defines it as such.

I recall at the beginning of the pandemic the CDC and surgeon general saying “masks weren’t necessary” and that “the lab leak theory is a conspiracy”. Of course both proved to be Noble Lies put out by the institutions.

I know it’s comforting to think of the world in terms of good/evil and truth/lies, but unfortunately it’s a messy complicated world and things are not as clear cut as we’d like.
> Because money isn't everything.

I agree, and neither is a PhD, but I don't think that's a great reason.

"Why don't we pay teachers a decent wage? Because money isn't everything and helping students grow to the next generation is something that is inspiring in itself."

It's easy to say "money isn't everything" when you don't have to worry about money. A single parent is unlikely to be able to quit a decent-paying job to work with the low wages of a PhD program; are we just going to say "single parents need not apply" or "your kid should learn that money isn't everything while you live on subsistence wages for the next six years"?

Obviously there are single parents who manage to their PhDs, and that's really cool, but I don't think it's realistic for a lot of (otherwise qualified) people.
An alternate universe where Closure Compiler became the preferred way to build JS projects would be interesting.

I was hit by a similar bug back in Microsoft Visual Studio 6. The source code at the company I was at had mixed CR/LF throughout (switching from IRIX to Windows, and some stubborn folks continuing to use vi/emacs). And in this one instance, the MSVS6 Editor (and syntax highlighting) interpreted a comment followed by a line of code... but the MSVS6 compiler interpreted as a comment, followed by more characters on the same comment. Unfortunately the comment and line of code were something like this:

// don't forget to skip formatting the hard drive
format_hard_drive = false;

So, yes, the code in question deleted the user's hard drive. And by looking at the code in Visual Studio, the editor, you'd swear the code was correct.

(The real logic was not that blatantly dangerous, but it amounted to the same thing.)

>Only makes sense to me

Pretty much

No one in their right mind at Apple would ever open up their tightly-integrated (ie always "Just Works™") hardware stack for outsiders to "play with"

Want to "play"? Buy something else

Apple doesn't care what else you buy - they do care what they sell (and support)

If they opened-up the M1 (or any of their other proprietary products) to outsiders, they'd be on the hook for supporting whatever insanity other manufacturers did to/with it
> If Mastodon has a weak history of enforcing their license to other organizations, does it weaken the case?

No; it’s normal for copyright violation to be selectively enforced. There are a very few rights bodies who enforce for everything (notably, the movie industry tends to do this) but in general copyright holders only go after big offenders.
Both of your examples are duties that an academic may have in the future. What about someone like the OP that just wants the PhD and continue their path in the industry?

Speaking anecdotally: the US research universities seem like research mills driven by low wage labor from international students. American students I met in my graduate program had to be both really smart or passionate and willing to put up with the demands of the PhD. It’s pretty bleak, and it’s good to hear that it’s different on the old continent.
College sounds fun! Do it!
I think 1 and 2 are more the issue, but possibly all of them. They are all loose definitions that mean different things to different people. I think it would limit serious uptake once a legal department gets a hold of it.

(1) discriminating against marginalized communities

What does this mean? I bet I could get several different answers. Old people are marginalized by agism in tech, does this mean tech companies can't use this? How would they prove they don't marginalize old people?

(2) building tools that disingenuously manipulate public opinion

Ditto. To me this means no political party or marketing/advertising department can use this. Probably most news outlets as well.

(3) building tools of mass surveillance and prediction to repress the rights of people

Rights defined by whom? US Constitution? Right not to be offended? Rights granted by the Taliban or ISIS? Communist China?

(4) building tools that control weapons, including tools that automate the deployment, operation, and targeting of weapons.

I think most people can get on board with this one, unless we were attacked in earnest by a strong military foe.

> From my understanding, they didn't do any of these, and claimed the code as their own.

Where did they "claim the code" as their own? This project hasn't even launched yet. There is no published work for which they could do any of those things yet.

I'll get my pitchfork if the service is launched and they still haven't done these things.
> Amazon violating open source agreements to host their own version of the product and squeeze the life out of the original company? Not a peep.

Tesla created the same problem for themselves in Europe. Instead of being CCS Type 2 Combo from the beginning, Tesla initially went with their own different special plug. It was a modified Type 2 which also supported DC fast charging.

A few years ago Tesla retrofitted all chargers in Europe to have two plugs - their modified type 2 and CCS. The Model 3 launched with a CCS inlet in Europe and older Model Ss and Xs needed a hardware change and an adapter to use CCS:

https://insideevs.com/news/438861/ccs2-retrofit-tesla-europe...

These days Tesla's newer chargers just have CCS plugs.

Tesla could do a similar retrofit in North America as part of the transition to CCS. It's a bigger problem because there are more chargers to do, but it's still only 12,653 ports:
