Have you considered that the reason for the outrage is because people don't actually trust Microsoft to do the right thing? I can see this is a mistake, but surely the litany of awful business practices by Microsoft in the past precedes it?
> And dump 50% of the money into technical work. The rest goes to the organizational overhead needed to get the funding in the first place. But the 50% technical work have to be the focus and acknowledged as the focus.

You acknowledge that there's a lot of work involved in handling funding for an opens source project. And yet you seem to consider the that 50% of the work worthless, despite them enabling the 50% of the technical work. All my open source work is worthless in your eyes. I'll spend my christmas days fixing a mid five digit tax mistake that the technical people made on an open source project - because that work is boring and tech work is more important - and I get to ensure that the money doesn't go to the tax authorities. But my name doesn't appear in the commit log, so I'm not a contributor. I'm not even on the github org, nor visible in another place. In your eyes, that's worthless. In your eyes, I can't do it for the love of open source since I have no substantial code contributions in the past - and that's why no one takes those 50% off your hands, so you can focus 100% on the tech stuff.
If you had a history of behaving as badly as Microsoft, I'd be as harsh on you as I am on Microsoft.
Can somebody explain why it's so difficult to allocate the power dynamically per port?

Apparently this charger (as well as all others I'm aware of) seem to have hard limits depending on the number of devices connected. For example when all four ports are in use this charger outputs 50W + 30W + 20W + 20W. Now let's imagine I charge a notebook which could charge with more than 50W, but on one of the 20W ports I charge a smartphone which is only capable of charging with 5W. Why is it so difficult to allocate the remaining 15W to the port the notebook is connected to as well?
But wouldn't this case fall under the same?

Your argument is that a misconfigured FTP server isn't intent to distribute.

That's the case for all news.

But for Brexit specifically, you'd be hard pressed to find good news about Brexit even on Boris' side, given how it's turned out and what an absolute shit show the government has been the past two years. The Brexit minister just resigned, and he's replaced it with a muppet, mostly for political reasons than competence.

Boris has become very unpopular for many reasons, Brexit one of them, and I bet he's not gonna be the head honcho of the Tory party for much longer. I hope Brexit becomes politically toxic it will become fashionable to rejoin the EU again but let me put down the hopium pipe first.
For now it is going mostly as predicted by the 'remain' camp, the 'leave' camp have a bit of a problem maintaining their credibility. I know quite a few people that moved out of the UK when this happened, including a number of Britons. It will be quite a ways downhill, there is a good chance that when the dust settles the UK itself will no longer exist.

This will likely go into history as the biggest own goal there ever was, the UK had a pretty good deal compared to other countries in the EU and it wasn't enough. But no matter how strong your country is you can't compete with the negotiation power of a block of several hundred million people. Whether it will make the EU stronger or weaker in the long run is still up for grabs, there is plenty of force trying to fragment the EU, some of it financed from outside and so very hard to control.

There are no easy solutions for all this, and COVID has made it all a lot worse than what it probably would have been without.
A bit of a tangent, but the trust factor was pretty high with BBSes compared to the Internet of today. Many, including the Renegade BBS I ran, asked for your real name, phone number, and home address when signing up. I never thought twice about giving out that info and never had anyone complain to me about needing to provide it.
My biggest fear when USSR collapsed was highlighted in these threads. People are either ignorant of what WAS USSR and eventually start reminiscing about the great childhoods they had.

Deliriants are fascinating, and the experience sounds absolutely nightmarish. The most interesting thing to me is how the most common feature of every trip of some of the drugs (I think Datura and dph) is repeatedly thinking you're smoking a cigarette, accidentally dropping it then realizing there was no cigarette. And it happens to people who've never smoked.
I'm pretty libertarian on most political charts, but offering benzos to people OTC seems like one of the last things I'd be trying to legalize.

If we had no drug enforcement whatsoever, sure. But as long as we do benzos may be one of the most dangerous forms of substances we have short of straight up opiods.

When it comes to boardgames, I use two resources:

1. Does it have a good rating / breakdown in the BoardGameGeek forums?

2. Does it have a review on YouTube that showcases the main game mechanic?

Ideally, a third party review is always better. The board game community is not a harsh one (it's not like you have oceans of "this game sucks!" reviews -- there is a lot of love for the art) but a third party just seems more... relatable. They are also just trying to have fun.
As someone from a country still in the EU the Brexit outcome makes me uncomfortable. It is clear now that the EU is a set of golden handcuffs for those on the inside. As the EU grows in power it dictates more and more rules. I’ve heard numbers as high as 80% of national legislation being determined by EU directives. Mostly I think the EU directives turn out better than the national legislation would have (we would never get such strong privacy rights for example), but this might not always be the case. When those golden handcuffs start to chafe, what is a member country to do?

The EU has a real challenge ahead in leaving a place for regional and national self-determination, and ironically an EU constitution might be the best path to limiting its power, just like the US constitution somewhat acts to protect the states from the federal government.
Along similar lines as my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29684127

...Given that several engineers employed at Microsoft have been part of armchairing this along everyone else now, why is not one of y'all (not necessarily you but come on, this is getting absurd, holidays aside) still just busy discussing around it rather than spending the <5 minutes required per repo to start actually fixing the fallout of it?
That seems like an ok sentiment when it’s opt-in. At a former place of work, I would be assigned all holidays and hours people didn’t want to work because “I’m a single guy with no kids/fiancé”. I’d almost exclusively work those shifts alone, too. It was absolutely based on who stroked who’s ego the most. This was for little more than minimum wage in a tech department and no such thing as differentials.

Glad that’s over.
Because when Asperger defined “autistic psychopathy” under the Nazi regime, there was a range between the “good” kind whose “special abilities” were sufficient in relation to their social deficiencies to be valuable to society and the “bad” kind where they weren't; the former were protected for their usefulness and the latter murdered (“euthanized”, officially), often at Asperger’s personal direction and entirely based on the social dangers he warned about from them, by the Nazis. So until quite recently, “Asperger’s Syndrome” persisted as the name for “good” autism.
Great comment. A wonderful country, spoiled by the slackers and narrow minded twits in charge.
"Chinese" is not a religion. There are quite a large number of ethnically Chinese people who celebrate Christmas as a holy day. There are many more for whom it is a holiday. And many more who don't celebrate at all. Demographics are complicated.
This is a great resource to anyone interested in psychedelics in general. I've only done psychedelics twice in my lifetime, both with the same friend, and both times NOT in ideal scenarios (because we were both tripping without a sober person trip-sitting us). I would like to warn anyone interested that *tripping is risky if you suffer from high anxiety or OCD*.

My first trip was an incredible experience, I couldn't wait for my next chance to trip. Unfortunately, my second trip went south very fast; I became very anxious and I started having fears that I would unreasonably kill myself or murder my friend. What I didn't know at the time was that I suffered from "Harm OCD" and that the psychedelics were magnifying my OCD tenfold, and thus triggered a horrendous panic attack that wouldn't end until the effects of the drugs wore off.
Yep. Still patching log4j.
> “thoughts and feelings imparted by psychedelics aren’t real...”

I mean, in what possible way are they “less real” than thoughts and feelings imparted by any other cause? This is your body, doing the thing in reaponse to a stimulus. This may be an atypical stimulus generating very different than usual responses, but they’re certainly real
Of course they could. If the UK falls apart Scotland will be welcome (likely over the protests of Spain but nothing that can't be bought off).

The remainder will then follow bit by bit with England likely last.

If the UK manages to hold together then it will be welcome to return but without the special exceptions that were made for it in the past. The good deal they had was squandered and the negotiation position of the EU has strengthened accordingly.

Alternatively, the UK could conceivably try to get closer to the USA (not physically, obviously), but I doubt that would fly given the distance involved.
The first time an earthquake woke me up, I was out of bed, down 14 flights, and out in the street within a couple of minutes. The stairs were open-air so maybe the building didn't qualify as "high-rise". I don't think I erred, although maybe my neighbors who took a half hour to reach the street did? I guess they were looking for shoes... ISTM "the standard instruction" would be useful in a very narrow set of circumstances. Obviously it would be useless if the building completely collapses killing everyone, whether immediately or after half an hour. It wouldn't be any better than any other procedure if the building remains intact. The only circumstance in which it would save lives would be when the building immediately collapses enough to kill people in stairwells but not in apartments, and safety crews can be counted on to extract people from the wreckage. That seems pretty minor compared to the obvious advantages of immediate evacuation.
Wrong. The more links, the easier it is to argue that it's a mistake. Automation is hard, you know? Especially if no one noticed these and called them out on it until now.
'Profit-seeking companies' begs a common pejorative that actively reduces the variety in the pool of companies. It may not be descriptive of the companies for which this is not an overarching motivation. Many of them really want to make a happy customer by crafting as good a thing possible for the price they charge, and be well by their employees.

That said, I can relate the the cynicism especially for the giants. But painting them all as 'profit-seeking corporations' may deaden a satisfaction that comes from being a customer for a company you believe is good.

Apollo was amazing and the feat in guidance and navigation computers was astonishing. No one will dispute that. But let's not glorify it and discount all present missions.

Building an observatory is VERY difficult. Nevermind the "avionics" for an L2 mission, the manufacturing of the sensors, mirrors, and all the other mechanical parts are one-of-a-kind.

Webb is without a doubt an amazing feat of engineering and the engineering teams had to confront problems that were not even thought of for Apollo. Massive respect to them.

I feel like I'm alone in this, but I don't like mushrooms. I usually have unpleasant body effects, and I don't like the trip generally. I'm fairly confident in my ability to have dosed as responsibly as possible with a biological product. Usually, though, I just feel weird and uncomfortable for 10. LSD, by comparison, is positively therapeutic for me.
> Did the country get less poor? Yes.

That's not the story as told by the various figures the government reports.

> Do you mean migrants? Of course there aren't fewer of them, the EU is sending them to the UK as fast as they can.

That is complete bullshit.
Um, it changes the ownership? If they wanted to relicense it, then they could say "well, hey, it's our license!".
> 1) Did the NHS get less money? Probably not.

This just moving goalposts, before it was supposed to be funded better, now keeping it as it was before is seen as a success? Does it mean you admit that it achieved nothing?

> 2) Did the country get less poor? Yes.

Highly debatable, especially regarding the economic damage, some people lost their jobs, some businesses permanently closed (including some I knew). I admit the economic damage is a bit hard to separate from covid now but it's clearly real.

Edit: Actually now that I think about it, the sole reason my current company is so well funded is that a lot of investors tried to move to continental europe to diversify following brexit. I'm sure this will have some long term consequences.

> 3) Do you mean migrants? Of course there aren't fewer of them, the EU is sending them to the UK as fast as they can. You need a better government, not membership in the EU.

I hopped on the bus this morning to work and it was empty except for one person, who I see every morning as we share the same bus schedule but we’ve never interacted before. This morning we smiled at each other and the empty bus, and almost laughed, like oh you too huh? Then we carried on as usual. It was nice!
I'm just curious, is Microsoft actually in violation of the MIT license here?

All future changes to this repo are copyright Microsoft, so Microsoft's copyright should be in the statement.

Arguably there should be an additional statement indicating that LesnyRumcajs holds copyright to bits of code that Microsoft hasn't changed.

But

(1) exactly which bits have LesnyRumcajs's copyright would have to be verified by examining source control history. Since LesnyRumcajs's copyright statement is visible on any commit where LesnyRumcajs holds copyright, this setup makes actually makes it easy to verify which portions LesnyRumcajs has copyright claims on.

(2) Including LesnyRumcajs's copyright statement in repo history seems to be all that the MIT license requires. The license doesn't forbid there being another more easily accessible copyright notice that doesn't list all copyright holders. It only requires that LesnyRumcajs's statement be included in all copies of the software, which it currently is.
Alone also, and that's ok. Don't be afraid to seek out help when you need it.
I appreciate the sentiment here. If I may offer a different perspective: the public has paid a _lot_ of money for this thing, and getting a good stream of the launch set up (seems like it should be) a drop in the bucket. I don't think it'd be a wasted effort -- getting and keeping people interested and engaged with space science is a worthy endeavor
I wondered why more FOSS projects aren't using CC0 instead of "permissive" licenses like MIT, considering a lot of folks who work in FOSS are against copyright/software patents system in general, and most of them don't really seem to care about attribution.

People who release code under MIT not only won't/can't take legal action but they probably won't even bother writing an email to the person who they believe violated the attribution part.
Thank you. So these are in fact all mistakes.

I looked at some of the other forked repos (95 out of 4.5K repos) and all the human commits from MS I saw seem to care about getting the licenses right. So it really is just a broken bot.

I hope the bot can be fixed soon and I'm going to put my figurative pitchfork down now.

I’m not sure why, but I keep coming back to your comment, even an hour or more after you posted it. I feel sympathy for your lack of balance. I am reminded of these Supertramp lyrics:

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful

A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily

Oh joyfully, playfully watching me

But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible

Logical, oh responsible, practical

And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable

Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

Microsoft's automated violation of "no use without attribution" licenses?

Ok. I worked at MS from 2005-2015. As I recall, there was this huge formal legal process and due diligence around including a single line of open source code. Is that not still the case? Am I remembering it wrong?
right, but my point is that driving 16kms to work is not any more dangerous than biking 1km to work. Based on the states, driving 160kms per day is not more deadly than biking 10kms, so living 80kms from work and driving is the same level of danger as living 5kms form work and biking. and that only accounting for deaths, I have to imagine getting in a non-deadly bike accident is more damaging than a non-deadly car accident, although I don't have data to support or deny that theory.

Also, I don’t know how true this is, but I’ve heard that some of the hallucinations you see on psychedelics are signals/noise your brain normally filters out, but stops getting filtered during the trip. I believe the context was for so called “sacred geometry”. For example, if you look up the “flower of life”, this is a pattern people regularly see while tripping and it’s one I saw myself the first time I took shrooms.

Are they controlled by aliens from the space? The government people come from the people, it’s same culture/mentality.
